The years when I was an old man

The show continues.

Because we stole the limelight, Zhou Lin seemed a little unhappy.

Just listening to the short paragraph, I saw the private room next door.

A waiter walked in.Said it was to refill the hot water for Boss Zhou.

And while I was looking at the actors on stage, I was listening to the movement next door.

After a while, I suddenly heard an exclamation from the next door.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhou Lin fell down on the sofa.

Foaming at the mouth, limbs twitching non-stop.

"Boss Zhou, what's the matter? Boss Zhou!"

Zhou Lin's friend exclaimed in panic.

Other friends shouted loudly:

"Quick, take me to the hospital..."

The whole box was in a mess.

Even the audience on the first floor were affected.

These people turned their heads frequently, wanting to see what happened in the box.

The actors on stage even stopped singing.

Holding the microphone, he shouted anxiously to the waiter upstairs:

"Go and see what happened to Boss Zhou?"

Master Hong and I also got up immediately and went to the box next door.

Looking at several people, he was about to carry Zhou Lin downstairs.I immediately stopped and said:

"do not move!"

Zhou Lin's friends looked back at me with dissatisfaction on their faces.

Especially the man with glasses who urged Zhou Lin to send a flower basket before asked angrily:

"What are you? Don't move, get out!"

I'm not in the mood for this guy at all.

Looking at Zhou Lin who was still twitching, I immediately said:

"This gentleman has a shofar. If he moves around, he will bite his tongue and hurt himself. Let me deal with it..."

These people looked at me dubiously.

The man with glasses was even more directly dissatisfied and asked me:

"You deal with it? Are you a doctor?"

I shook my head.

"No, I have this problem too. I bring medicine with me!"

As I said that, I stepped forward and emptied Zhou Lin's teacup.

Poured a glass of water, opened his mouth, and put the powdered medicine into his mouth.

Under everyone's suspicious eyes, Zhou Lin returned to normal within a minute.

When a friend told Zhou Lin what happened just now.

Zhou Lin thanked frequently.He said he had epilepsy since he was a child.

Since these years, there has been no recurrence.

Thanks to me this time, otherwise, if the friends don't handle it well, I'm afraid it will leave him with sequelae.

But what Zhou Lin didn't know was that he wasn't having a seizure.

Instead, I asked Xiaoduo to pretend to be a waiter and pour medicine into his tea bowl.

Symptoms are similar to those of epilepsy.

We exchanged phone calls, I declined Zhou Lin's invitation to dinner, and left with Master Hong.

On the way back downstairs to the hotel, Master Hong couldn’t help asking me:

"Master Liu, aren't we just here to get close to this Zhou? Why don't you go when he treats you to dinner?"

I shook my head slightly and didn't explain.

If you want to catch a big fish like Zhou Lin, you must not be in a hurry.

Meeting for the first time, if too familiar.

It is inevitable that people will feel that Master Hong and I are too casual.

I want Zhou Lin to be unable to see through me. The more he can't see through me, the more curious he will be.

When the time is right, I will properly reveal some of my fictional background to him.

When the time comes, he will have no doubts about me.

In the next few days, Master Hong and I went to the theater every day.

Also the same as before, sending flower baskets every day.

During this period, I also met Zhou Lin several times.

Every time, he will take the initiative to pay for us.

But every time, I refuse.

We met again this evening.

He simply came to our box and chatted for a while, then Zhou Lin asked me curiously:

"Boss Chu, do you Habei people also like to listen to Peking Opera?"

I smiled slightly, pointed at Master Hong and said:

"I'm not afraid of Boss Zhou's jokes. In fact, I don't understand at all. It's just that my brother fell in love with the actor who sang Tsing Yi. In addition, we are not familiar with Jinmen, and we have no other entertainment. We can only insist on it." Scalp, accompany him to the theater..."

Zhou Lin laughed, patted my shoulder, and said:

"They're all men, I understand!"

Then he asked me again:

"Boss Chu, are you here for tourism?"

I shook my head.

"Not all. There are two factories in Jinmen who owe us some money. This time I came to Jinmen to collect money..."

"What is the business of the first boss?"

"The family's small business has several mines!"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience fell silent.

Zhou Lin and his friends looked at each other in blank dismay.

I was thinking in my heart.

Mining, is that called a small business?

In the next few days, Zhou Lin was extremely enthusiastic towards me.

He took Master Hong and me to visit the scenic spots in Jinmen.

I ate a few more meals of Jinmen's special famous food, and went to several entertainment venues.

Although every time, he is the first to pay the bill.

But in the middle, I still invited back a few times.

After dinner that day, Zhou Lin picked his teeth with a toothpick and asked me with a smile:

"Boss Chu, do you usually like to play cards?"

In these days of contact, I have never mentioned anything about gambling with Zhou Lin.

Unexpectedly, he was the one who brought it up first.

"I also play, but I don't play very well. I lose more than I win..."

I answered casually.

Zhou Lin laughed and said:

"To tell you the truth, Boss Chu, I have no other hobbies, but love to gamble. If you want to play, let's form a game?"

I turned my head to look at Master Hong, and asked:

"Do you want to play?"

Master Hong stretched his waist, and said lazily:

"It's really boring recently, so let's play!"

"Alright, then I'll call a few more friends, let's go to my house to play!"

Zhou Lin's home is a small courtyard house that looks old.

But when we walked in, I couldn't help being surprised.

The whole room is simple and elegant.

In the rows of cabinets, there are many antiques and curios whose authenticity is unknown.

Among the three friends that Zhou Lin called, one was the former man with glasses.

It is said that he is doing seafood business at the wharf, and the conditions are good.

There is also a chunky man in his 30s, everyone calls him third uncle.

Judging by his clothes and conversation, he should also be a person of status.

The other one is a woman in her 20s named Xiaona.

The appearance is passable, and the Mandarin is pure.

Listen, some don't look like Jinmen people.

"Shall we still fish for pickles?"

Putting the two decks of cards on the table, Zhou Lin asked everyone.

"How about picking pickles?"

Master Hong asked with some puzzlement.

In fact, this is the first time I've heard of this game.

Zhou Lin said that this is a local game he learned while traveling in Yunnan and Yunnan.

The rules are very simple, the two decks remove the big and small kings, and there are 104 cards in total.

One person is the banker, and the others are idlers.

Each person is issued two hidden cards first, and the points of the two cards are added, and the maximum is 9 points.

If it exceeds ten points, take a single digit for comparison.

J, Q, K, all count as zero.

If the banker is at 8 or 9 points, he should choose to explode directly. The player can't get cards and directly compares cards.

When the player is at 8 or 9 points, they also choose to explode and compare their cards with the dealer.
