Chapter 68: gambling

Views:

For the next three days, I didn't have much contact with Qin Yiheng. I'm really exhausted and just want to rest at home.

Qin Yiheng moved all the internal magazines of the company back home, probably because he was meditating at home, similar to sitting in meditation, and I didn't bother to see him.

On the fourth day, I did accept a business deal, which didn't need to be handled by Qin Yiheng, because someone called and wanted to buy a house in my hand.

The price he gave was good, and the profit was within the scope of my plan, so I didn't hesitate too much, and quickly transferred the account to him. After all, I have more housing in the later period, and the funds are already tight, so this is also a solution. My urgent need. After making money, Qin Yiheng had to be invited out to celebrate as a matter of course. That night, I called him. Hearing his tone on the phone, he was still a little hesitant, and Moji took a long time to agree. When they met, he hardly talked when the two of them ate, and he seldom even picked up food.

I think he is already a little crazy like this, and I am afraid that studying the internal journal at home will drive me crazy, so I care about him a few words. He froze for a moment, and actually asked me to finish my meal in a while, go to the bank to get a sum of cash and lend it to him, saying that he would need it later.

Now I am even more puzzled. Both of us earn half and half of the money from our business, and he doesn't have any special hobby of burning money. Besides, I just transferred his share to him before dinner for the sale of the house.

However, curiosity is curiosity, and I didn't have the nerve to ask him what he was doing with the money, so I nodded and agreed.

After eating, the two of them didn't rest for a while, and went to the nearest bank. I went back and forth to withdraw 50,000 yuan in cash from the ATM and handed it to Qin Yiheng.

He packed it in a paper bag, weighed it, and asked me to get in the car: "I'll take you to a place."

From what I can see, he is planning to use the money to spend, and the price is not low, but he got into the car and drove for more than half an hour. Finally, he entered a community and stopped at the door of a chess and card room. After getting out of the car, Qin Yiheng walked into the chess and card room with ease. I followed behind and couldn't help but sigh.

From entering the business to the present, the amount of money he has received is really not a small amount, but no matter how much money he has, he can't afford to lose in gambling. Thinking about it makes him feel sorry for him. I feel like I have to stop him, both as a friend and as a partner. I grabbed Qin Yiheng, organized my words, and wanted to persuade him a few words, but he shook his head at me and told me to leave him alone for a while and explain to me later, then turned around and walked into the back room.

There was an unquestionable taste in his tone, which made me stunned. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that maybe he did have some plans. Just borrow him, and follow up.

After following up in the back room, I discovered that the chess and card room was remodeled from the first floor of this residential building. It was nothing more than opening the balcony and opening a door, and the inside was still the original house type.

Qin Yiheng whispered a few words to someone who was presumably the boss, took out a stack of money from the paper bag and gave it to him, turned around and called me, then followed the person who took the money, opened another door, and went to in.

I followed in, and this door was the original main entrance of this room, but they made some modifications. Going out from this door is not a corridor, but turns to another house, which should be the one opposite the chess and card room, and they opened up the two houses. This house is exactly the same as the chess and card room. There is no mahjong table in it. Judging from the layout and furnishings, it should be the people who live in the mahjong parlor.

At this time, there were already a few people inside, gathered around a broken folding table in the living room, looked up at the two of us, and smiled strangely.

Qin Yiheng didn't say anything, and sat directly in front of the folding table, and asked me to move a chair to sit next to him, and took out the money and spread it on the table.

Damn, this is too much like the underworld transaction scene in the movie! I always feel that they will draw their guns and point at each other in a while, which makes me a little nervous for a while. Seeing that Qin Yiheng was calm, I was relieved.

Then, several people around the table also took out a pile of money and placed it on the table. One of them stood up and brought out a deck of cards. Now I finally understood that Qin Yiheng really brought me here to gamble. Looking at the RMB on the table, they gambled quite a lot.

To be honest, I am very disappointed in Qin Yiheng, but now I can only stay with him like this, so I light a cigarette and watch the game.

They are playing fraudulent gold flower, presumably many people know how to play it. Qin Yiheng was lucky, and basically bet with his cards down. In a few rounds, he actually won less than 10,000 yuan. But seeing that he was not happy, he finally said to me quietly: "Take out the Swiss Army knife in the bag and cut a hole in the back of my trousers."

His request is outrageous, is he trying to fart or something? In front of so many people, I couldn't ask him what was going on, so I could only do it first, cutting a hole in his trousers, so that the underwear inside could be seen. Qin Yiheng nodded to me very satisfied and continued to gamble.

It's strange to say, since I cut this hole, Qin Yiheng's luck has become worse and worse. After a while, he lost all the money he won before, and it didn't take long for him to lose the 50,000 yuan. all clean.

I was really distressed when I watched it, but his expression was quite satisfied. After losing all the money, he patted my ass and took me away. I followed behind, deliberately getting closer to him, to help him block the hole in the back of his trousers. I don't know what he was thinking, but he was wearing a pair of red underwear, the pants were gray, and the exposed underwear looked particularly eye-catching.

After getting in the car, I finally couldn't bear it anymore, I had to scold him to wake him up, otherwise it would be impossible for him to wake up on his own. Before I could speak, Qin Yiheng preemptively stated that his recent fortune is too prosperous, if he doesn’t lose some money, he won’t fall at all, and borrowing money to lose everything is very harmful to luck.

And this casino is a very dark place. To put it bluntly, lonely souls and wild ghosts love to run to this place. One is because the gambling looks fun, and they are looking for fun; the other is because they come to gamble. There are people from all over the world, even in a city, they come from all directions, so you can get a lot of information here; the third is the most important point, because many people will lose their momentum if they lose money, and even lose money. There are some who can't think of committing suicide for a while or are forced to pay their debts and can only die. These lonely ghosts also came to see if there was an opportunity to take advantage of them.

After finishing speaking, Qin Yiheng told me: "This casino has not been a safe place since ancient times. To open a casino, not only must the relationship between the yang and the yang be strong, but also the character must be strong enough. Without hostility, it is impossible to do this. With the development of society, casinos are rarely seen in China. At best, they are like this. Find a hidden place and meet a few people to play a game. It’s not easy to find large-scale underground casinos, but There are some places similar to casinos, for example, the stock market during bear markets, wood storage workshops, coffin shops, etc.”

"The principle of this stock exchange market is actually similar to that of a casino. It is also because most of the stockholders' wealth is sluggish during a bear market, and lonely ghosts like to stay here; and the wood storage workshop is because wood is born in the soil. It belongs to Yin, and many wandering souls are homeless and want a coffin, so they all come here, which is the same as the coffin shop."

Qin Yiheng's words are very insightful, but I still don't understand. People have always tried everything possible to get better luck. I have never heard of anyone who thinks he is lucky. He either burns his head or burns his money. I asked him, "Is there any purpose? Why do you have to cut holes in your pants?"

When he heard me ask, he remembered that there was a hole in his trousers, and took out a pair of trousers from the back seat to change, it seemed that he came prepared. After changing his pants, Qin Yiheng told me that red underwear should not be worn lightly, because the year of birth is prone to Tai Sui, which belongs to Yin and fierce, so folks have always had the habit of wearing red underwear to ward off evil spirits. But if it is not worn in the year of birth, even on weekdays, it is not suitable for those who go to the grave, carry the coffin, or die. In the final analysis, it is because of many conflicting theories. It is even more inappropriate to wear clothes for gambling and murder, and it is easy to rush one's own luck. Therefore, in order to make himself lose faster, he specially wore such a pair. As for cutting holes in the trousers, it is also to reduce one's gambling luck. It is very unlucky to go to the gambling table in rags.

It seems that in order to lose money, he has thought of many ways, which is really hard for him. But he still didn't explain why he did it. I asked again, before he lit a cigarette and said a few words lightly: "I want to see a ghost." After speaking, he turned his face away and continued, "There is something wrong with that plaster statue."
