A Card Shark’s World - C21
In my long life, I have passed by death many times.
Mouse and I slumped to the ground like deflated balls. The weakness of his body instantly spread to every corner of his body.
He rested for a long time before he gradually regained his strength. When I had the strength to speak, my first words would be to ask Mouse what was going on.
However, my words also stopped Mouse. Mouse said he didn’t know what was going on.
Mouse said that after parting with me, he felt a little sleepy and went home. However, when he fell asleep, the door to his house was kicked open from the outside.
Before Mouse could wake up from his sleep, a few big men had already tied him up, and after that, they would beat him up. After the beating, he also took away the money from Mouse’s pocket.
It wasn’t until I reached Mouse’s house that Mouse finally broke free from his clutches.
Of course, thanks to Mouse’s ears, if he hadn’t heard the sound of footsteps and pulled me out of the house, Mouse and I would have been stuck inside.
After hearing Mouse’s words, I fell into deep thought. This was too much of a coincidence.
Mouse and I, at almost the same time, were done by someone. Now I seem to have discovered something.
It might not have been a coincidence that the bus had been intercepted; it might have been premeditated. Besides, those people might have come for me. Besides, I have a more daring guess.
Everyone in the bus was an accomplice! They were just setting up a trap. This was a trap to leave me penniless and despondent back in the county town.
Thinking of this, I couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat.
At the same time, a face appeared in my mind. Hu-ge was indeed him.
If it wasn’t for him, who else in the county would have the ability to do so? Besides, the group of people’s goal is also quite obvious. They are obviously here for the money in the hands of Mouse and me. This money was won from Hu-ge. Brother Hu, do you really only need this little bit of money from me? Was there really a need to use such a large force?
If that’s what I was thinking, then it’s really too incredible. I told all of my conjectures to Mouse in front of me. After saying it, Mouse nodded his head.
Mouse had been in the county longer than me, and he thought so too. Only Brother Tiger had such power.
That night, Mouse and I had a very difficult time. Fortunately, it wasn’t winter in the Northeast, or Mouse and I would have frozen to death without waiting for Hu-ge to clean us up.
After getting up the next day, I decided to go to see elder sister Feng. He wanted to ask elder sister Feng what was going on. Even if I didn’t agree to Brother Hu’s request and stayed in his place, there’s no need to mess with me and Mouse.
When Mouse and I ran to the station, we looked around the station and found no trace of her. Besides, the mess around the station had disappeared. The dice stall was the same.
Mouse and I stared at each other, wondering what was going on.
I was not willing to be fooled into making a scene like this. I took Mouse and went to Tsinghua Garden. At that time, Mouse and I were in a very sorry state. There was someone stopping Mouse and me as we went in. After I mentioned Sister Feng’s name, I thought that once I mentioned her, she would take me to see her.
Who would’ve thought that not saying the words’ Sister Feng ‘would be fine, but after saying that, the other party didn’t even let Mouse and me in. If I hadn’t reacted fast and rushed in, I might have gotten nothing.
As far as I can remember, I ran down to the casino at Tsinghua Garden. However, when I was stopped by the thick walls and pushed out of Tsinghua University by the security guards, my whole body became a mess in the wind.
It doesn’t make sense, it doesn’t make sense at all. Below Tsinghua University was a huge casino. Why didn’t I go in this time?
Sis Feng was gone. The casinos were also gone. It was as if they had never appeared. If it wasn’t for the fact that Mouse had been in that casino and had been taken away by Brother Hu’s men, I would have thought that everything that had happened these past few days was all a dream.
Mouse and I went back to Mouse’s house. I sat on Mouse’s messy bed, and my whole body seemed to turn silent. Mouse saw me and comforted me, “Forget it, we can’t afford to offend those people. You made the right choice. If you had stayed, you would have fallen into their trap. Those people, eat human flesh without even spitting out bones. ”
Mouse grumbled as he cleaned up his messy house.
Unknowingly, hearing the mouse’s mumbling, I lay on the bed and fell asleep.
When I woke up, I smelled meat. When he opened his eyes, Mouse had brought a roast chicken and a pot of rice.
I don’t know where the rat got himself into, all I know is that I’m so hungry that I can’t even look like one anymore. I gobbled down the food, ate half a roasted chicken and several bowls of rice before patting my swollen belly in glee.
The next few days went on like this. Mouse ran out every day and came back to get a meal. I knew what Mouse was doing, but I didn’t say anything about it. If I were to say it was weird, then that would be weird. The group of people chasing after Mouse and I also stopped, as if no one had ever chased after Mouse and me.
In this way, I suspect even more that everything that happened was caused by Brother Hu. Otherwise, Hu-ge would have disappeared without a trace.
After a short while, something happened to Mouse.
When I learned that Mouse was in jail for seven days, I felt helpless and embarrassed. Awkwardly, if it wasn’t for the food, the rat wouldn’t be doing this. However, if it wasn’t a rat, he would have starved to death.
When a person was out of money, they would really change methods to earn money. During those seven days, I found several jobs. He even went to the construction site to move the bricks. When the foreman saw my white hands, he couldn’t help but laugh.
I didn’t take the foreman’s joke to heart. Because even I am laughing at myself. If Elder Wang knew that the hands that he treated as treasures before didn’t take out the cards but moved the bricks instead, he would probably jump out from the coffin in anger.
After holding on for seven days, Mouse was finally released. That day, I also quit all my work and ate a good meal with the few hundred yuan I earned. After dinner, I looked at Mouse and said, “I don’t want to go on like this. Look at the pedestrians outside, they are all people, and some people can only ride broken bicycles, and some people can only drive luxury cars. ”
“I want to be the latter.”
My resolute gaze shocked Mouse. Mouse nodded. He said he would follow me no matter what I did. Since you’ve accepted me as your big brother, then what big brother does brother do to be a brother?
Hearing that, I nodded my head. Mouse, as expected, did not become a brother for nothing.
After dinner, I took Mouse to a place. I’m very familiar with this place. He had been here countless times with Little Fatty Du. That’s right, the game room.
To be honest, I was thinking that this game room might not have a simple background if it was able to oppose Hu-ge’s. Previously, I didn’t know that after making so much money in this game room, now that I know about it, I feel a bit apprehensive. However, this was the only way to make money.
Because I’m an idiot. Qian should do what Qian should do.
The atmosphere in the game room was the same as before. I went into the room, the room where I played with the fried flowers. There were still so many people inside, but they were all unfamiliar faces. No one paid any attention to Mouse and me as we entered. There were too many people coming and going in this sort of place.
After a few rounds, I left the game room with Mouse. After I went out, Mouse asked me why I hadn’t played many games.
After hearing what Mouse said, I smiled and said, “Of course we have to play.”
“In addition, we need to have a good time. If we win, we will be left with nothing.”
Mouse did not understand what I said. And when I bought a pack of cards and a few candles.
And he covered the sleeves of his clothes with candles. Of course, I also hid a pair of poker cards in my sleeves.
Mouse saw everything in front of him and was thoroughly shocked.
“Shuiyun Xiu” has not seen me for a long time. I looked at my sleeve in satisfaction and said so.
