I want to live, get married

I didn't expect that this place is really not simple. Although it is just an abandoned brick kiln outside, there is a hole in the ground.

Just now it looked quite lively at the door, but the scene inside was even worse. There was a heat wave mixed with noisy human voices, making people dizzy for a while.

The gambling house is decorated with gorgeous flowers, red candles are flickering, and clouds and mist are lingering, making people feel in a trance that they don't know what night it is.

If you look around, there are crowds of people everywhere, drinking, punching, throwing dice... There are all kinds of people from all walks of life, doing everything.

The faces of the gamblers are filled with satiated expressions paralyzed by money and alcohol, and they shuttle between large and small gambling games.

There were even some glamorous women in scantily clad clothes, some served tea and water, some played cards and chatted with various gamblers. Cursing angrily, only made the bystanders blush with embarrassment.

This scene fell in Liu Yanhan's eyes, and she was secretly dumbfounded. Seeing the calm female doctor beside her, He Qingqing was shocked by the scene in front of her, and smiled with lowered eyes: "Why, Miss Liu, I didn't expect This is what the black gambling house looks like!"

"Uh... really never thought of it." Liu Yanhan was still looking around, pointing to a group of beautiful women in the crowd, and asked, "Why are there still women here?"

"Oh! You said those card girls!"

"Pai... Pai Ji?" Liu Yanhan had never heard of this title.

"These women are originally brothel women. In order to attract gamblers, the gambling house will hire such a group of women, let them play with others in the gambling shop, and the gamblers will serve tea and water to their side when they win a lot of money. The card girls give out lottery heads to reward them for bringing good luck to themselves, so as to show that they will still be lucky next time, so usually they earn a lot of money in the gambling shop, even more money than in the brothel."

"Oh! So that's the case." Hearing He Qingqing's words, Liu Yanhan thought, the business experience in this gambling house is actually a set of rules, and it's because she has short-sightedness.

The two chatted all the way, looking for Ma Langzhong among the bustling crowd in the gambling house.

After a while, Liu Yanhan was puzzled to find that some Paiji who passed by from time to time would glance over with ambiguous eyes. The eyes were inexplicable, like sweeping a small brush on a person's body, making people's eyes There is nowhere to look.

What's even more exaggerated is that there are some bold women who talk to her and He Qingqing with a smile.

"Ouch, two handsome young masters, let's play together..."

As she said that, she even used the handkerchief in her hand to fan the fragrant wind to seduce people. She was so frightened that Liu Yanhan didn't even hide, and she didn't hide, it was really embarrassing.

In contrast, He Qingqing was very calm, she fended off these Yingyingyanyans, and said to these concubines unquestionably: "All beauties and sisters, I don't need to greet you here, you go to other places to get busy." Bar."

"Hey, look at how unreasonable this young man is!" A plump girl dressed in a red gauze approached.

She said coquettishly: "Since everyone is here to have fun, don't be so cautious when you come here. Apart from playing with money, there are many things to play here! Do you want me to take the two young masters around?" Turn, open your eyes!"

As he spoke, he took He Qingqing's arm affectionately, and his whole body clung to him like a piece of candy.

Only Liu Yanhan on one side looked stiff, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

After all, they are just some card girls who are begging for a living in the gambling house, and He Qingqing is not good at really losing his temper with them, but he doesn't want to waste time entangled with them.

She was quick-witted, smiled calmly and hooked her finger at Hongsha Paiji, beckoning her to come over and talk: "Sister, I'm sorry, did you see the young man next to me?"

The two whispered softly, while He Qingqing pointed to Liu Yanhan behind him.

''Well, of course I saw it, is there anything wrong?Sir, please clarify. "

Leaning by Pai Ji's ear in red, He Qingqing whispered in a low voice: "My man, do you understand?"

Then he raised his eyebrows and signaled: "Go, don't disturb our cleanliness." "

After finishing speaking, he carelessly stroked the arms wrapped around him, and pulled Liu Yanhan, who had a dark face beside him, and walked away quickly.

The girl in red was left in a daze.

''Oh, why did you let those two young masters leave? What did you say to them just now, Miss Hong? "

Some good little sisters came up to inquire about the situation, to see if the two handsome young masters just now are rich masters.

If you are rich and powerful, and you are pleasing to the eye, you have to curry favor with him, and you may be able to make a lot of money in a short while.

''Whatever you say, you don't have to work anymore..." Ji Fangcai of the Red Clothes Brand just got a bad nose, and got so angry that she yelled at the eight women beside her angrily, "Let's go, Two vegetarians, what else to watch. "

''Ah... a vegetarian..." Hearing what the red-clothed Jiji said, the others lamented like frosted eggplants: "How could this be? I thought there were two rich and handsome ,What a pity. "

He Qingqing led Liu Yanhan to shuttle among the bustling gamblers, and dragged her towards the inside.

Because of the noisy voices just now, He Qingqing whispered to the red-clothed Ji Ji in a low voice, but even though she was beside her, she didn't hear a word clearly.

At this moment, she couldn't hold back her curiosity, and she wanted to ask a lot: "Miss He, what did you say to that Pai Ji just now?"

He Qingqing was a little at a loss when asked this question, she couldn't say that she was being silly, and lied to that Paiji that we are a couple!What's more, the two of them are still wearing men's attire, which is really inappropriate.

She sneered, and found an excuse to prevaricate: "Actually... Actually, I didn't say anything. There are many ways in this gambling shop. I just told her about the serious relationship during the period. Open the door for business, and the customer is the first. Let her take care of her own affairs, and don't bother the guests for no reason."

"Oh! That's how it is..."

Hearing what He Qingqing said, Liu Yanhan felt relieved, and the unhappiness in his heart just now dissipated.

She thought that if she came to the gambling house alone and encountered these embarrassing things, He Qingqing would not be able to handle them so calmly.

So he repeatedly praised: "Ms. He still knows the way and is resourceful. If I really don't know what to do..."

As he spoke, he sighed secretly, with a look of shame on his face: "Oh... You didn't know that you were really embarrassed just now. I was already nervous enough wearing such a man's attire. I was afraid that I would show some flaws. I didn't know what to say for a while. what's good."

He Qingqing was so ashamed to hear these words of praise, she could only laugh dryly "hehe", pretending to be self-effacing: "Miss Liu, you have won the award, you have won the award..."

"By the way, Ms. He, there was a big man with a beard following me all the way to the gambling house, so I don't want to talk to you in detail. I still have a lot of things that I don't understand." The two chatted for a while while looking for people in the gambling house. Seeing and hearing on the road.

Liu Yanhan asked very puzzled: "Just now in the narrow alley, how did you know that the scarred man driving the donkey cart is from a gambling house?"

Speaking of this scarred man, He Qingqing sneered and replied: "Oh! Actually, it's nothing. If any serious person would rest in such a windy alley on the winter solstice, he must wait for the gamblers to find a connector."

"Then how did you connect with that scarred man?

I heard you talking nonsense with him for a long time, as if you didn't say a word about gambling or casinos, how does he know that we are gamblers who want to gamble? "

"The laws in Xinggang Town are strict, and it is expressly forbidden to open gambling houses, so the business cannot be done on the bright side, because it is too easy to be caught by the government, so everything has been turned into an underground operation. So in that narrow alley, I saw that the scarred man saw us as strangers at first, and was very wary, so it was inconvenient for me to express it, so I deliberately communicated with him in code words in gambling shops, if we can match each other No., it means that he is a fellow."

"Crypto?" Liu Yanhan frowned, carefully recalling their conversation at that time, "You mean a batch of goods to be shipped to the south?"

"Well...it's almost close." He Qingqing nodded happily: "I told him that I have no more, no less, a total of 32 containers to be shipped to the south, and the man with the scar had a different expression when he heard this. I knew it was right."

"32 cargo boxes... the casino..." Liu Yanhan was thinking about the connection between the two.

"Hi..." He Qingqing reminded directly, "There is a money-playing thing called dominoes in this gambling shop. There are exactly 32 cards. Everyone knows about gamblers. The scarred man must know something when he said this Meaning, in the end he asked me for a deposit of this amount.”

While explaining, He Qingqing extended a slap and repeated the gesture made by the man with the scar just now in the narrow alley.

I saw that she stretched out one index finger first, then extended the index finger, middle finger, and ring finger at the same time, paused for a while, and finally stretched out the thumb and index finger at the same time.

"The gesture he made also means dominoes in the gambling industry. To put it bluntly, it was to test whether we were of the same kind. Sometimes the government is strict and the people in the gambling shop are very shrewd. It won't take long, and the trick of the cunning rabbit and the three caves will make it impossible for the officials to ban gambling."

In a few words, He Qingqing told Liu Yanhan some of the common methods used in underground gambling houses and ways that ordinary people don't know.

"Oh...so that's the case." At this point, Liu Yanhan suddenly realized, and sighed in his heart that this He Qingqing looks like a delicate and frail young lady, but she is worthy of being a descendant of a gambling fairy, and her knowledge of gambling is indeed higher than ordinary people .

"What about these wooden signs?" Liu Yanhan shook the bag of chips that he had been holding in his hand just now, "Do you have any knowledge about these wooden signs that you exchanged for money earlier?"

Seeing Liu Yanhan's earnestness in breaking the casserole and asking the end at this moment, He Qingqing smiled sweetly, took the bag she was clutching in her hand, untied the bag, twisted out a wooden sign from it, and showed it to her in the palm of her hand: "No... …This small wooden card is called a chip in the gambling house, have you seen the small dots of different sizes and shapes engraved on it?"

Liu Yanhan looked carefully again, nodded and said, "En."

"Different dots represent different amounts of money. This wooden sign represents one tael of silver. In the end, you can take these wooden signs to the previous man with the scar to exchange them for silver coins."

Hearing what He Qingqing said, Liu Yanhan checked the small wooden sign in the bag again, and sure enough, the marks on the dots were not the same.

Comparing the two chips in his hands, Liu Yanhan sighed with emotion: "In this black gambling house, outsiders usually have no way to find the way. Usually, the connectors are responsible for picking up the gamblers to exchange chips, and then the thugs of the gambling shop will lead the way to the gambling shop." , so it is very difficult for the government to find out, and even if it is found, there is no money or property at the scene, so it is easy to evade it by saying that it is a gathering of people to play for fun."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk..." She shook her head and was speechless at He Qingqing, "This black gambling shop is clever, has many ways, hides so deep, and keeps being banned repeatedly. It can turn Xinglin seniors like Ma Langzhong into immoral people Disciple, it is really harmful."

"Oh... that's right..." He Qingqing raised his hand and pointed at all kinds of gamblers in the gambling house: "But Miss Liu, look, all the living beings in this gambling house are not like ghosts, addicted Blood eats flesh, and the word greed blinds the heart."
