Chapter Thirteen Continue Playing

  Hei Zi was the soldier king of his company when he was in the army, capturing and disarming were his strong points. Just as he was about to retire, the group army special forces selected him, but he gave up the opportunity and let his comrade go instead, and he himself went home with a bag on his back.

  Hei Zi didn't play empty-handed this time, he pulled out a dagger and pounced on them. These people had to be hurt a bit, otherwise they wouldn't remember the lesson.

  As Black's roar echoed, the five knife-wielding thugs encountered the toughest enemy they had ever met. The five of them counterattacked but couldn't land a hit on the agile Black. In just a few moves, the backs of their hands were injured and all their knives fell to the ground.

  Five people backed away in a panic, huddled together in the corner of the wall. Hei Zi stopped his attack, put away his dagger and stared at them.

  Yin Le and Da Gui were beaten to the ground, and these few people used their feet to trample them, not letting them get up. Hei Zi and the five thugs made a move, and Da Gui and Yin Le struggled to climb up.

  When Da Gui and Yin Le struggled to get up with physical pain, the knives in several people's hands had already fallen to the ground, and everyone retreated to the corner of the wall.

  Da Gui let out a loud roar and pounced forward, followed by Yin Le. The pent-up fire in the two of them suddenly erupted.

  Zhu Xiaofei's heart was also uncomfortable, and the beautiful future described by Bai Tianzi was almost ruined by them. Zhu Xiaofei also rushed up.

  The other party had no weapons, so Hei Zi felt at ease. He jumped onto the kang, moved a small stool to sit on, and watched them fight.

  The room is small, those who are fighting are on the ground, and those who are not fighting are all hiding on the kang, where there are also a set of dominoes and a small square table, it's very messy.

  "Everyone sit down, come on, have a smoke." Hei Zi pulled out cigarettes to invite the remaining five or six people to sit down and watch the commotion.

  After more than ten minutes, the five thugs were all beaten to the ground and couldn't move. Hei Zi asked Yin Le and Da Kui: "Le Er, Da Kui, how are you two brothers?"

  Da Gui touched the wound on his face and said: "Hei Ge, it's nothing serious."

  Heizi saw that they were not seriously injured and said to Zhuo Xiaofei: "Xiaofei, take them to the infirmary for a bandage."

  Xiao Fei took a look at the five thugs lying on the ground, moaning and groaning, and then looked at Hei Zi.

  "Xiao Fei, with me here, nothing will happen." Hei Zi said with a wave of his hand.

  Xiao Fei left with Da Kui and Yin Le'er. As they were about to leave, he picked up all the knives on the ground, fearing that someone would stab Hei Zi in the back after they left.

  Xiao Fei and his friends left, Hei Zi called out to the remaining few: "You guys continue playing, if there's anything that needs to be taken care of, I'll handle it."

  The remaining gamblers looked at each other and sat back down at the small stove table, starting a game of pai gow.

  Heizi didn't quite understand the rules of Push Nine, and he was too lazy to watch normally. Today, he had some free time, so he sat facing the window, with his back to the five thugs lying on the ground, and started watching.

  Nine, nine, nine

  Seventy-seven, eighty-eight, but not ninety-nine.

  The gamblers quickly became lively when they got their cards, completely forgetting that there were still five people lying on the ground.

  After playing for a while, someone pushed Hei Zi: "Hei Zi, they're gone."

  Hei Zi didn't smile back and said: "Let's go, we'll find them again during the day."

  The few who stayed behind were the village's professional gamblers, whoever started a game they would go. Hei Zi watched them play for a while and one of the gamblers said: "Hei Zi, let me give you some advice."

  Hei Zi pulled out a cigarette and lit it, saying: "Alright, as long as it's a good suggestion, I won't charge you for today's drinks."

  The gambler lit a cigarette and nodded his head, saying: "Heizi, opening a small game won't make much money, you might as well open a big one."

  "Brother Zhao, I'm starting a new round but I don't know anyone here and nobody wants to play with me," Hei Zi said, expressing his difficulties.

  The casino is literally a place for big gamblers, and big gamblers are different from small ones.

  Small-time gamblers are village and town rascals, those ruffians who are obsessed with gambling. They have various occupations, and some are migrant workers who have no work to do in winter. These people have one common characteristic: they don't have much money.

  The big gamblers are numerous, and there are many big mixed gangs in the town, some are bosses of mining and ore dressing plants, some are coal and mine owners, and a large part are private entrepreneurs and officials. These people have status and position, if they want to play mahjong at home for a few hundred yuan, no one dares to catch them. If they want to gamble big, they must find someone trustworthy to open a gambling den, to ensure absolute safety. The characteristic of the big gambling den is that there is a lot of money, and the minimum amount of money brought in is at least tens of thousands, bringing only a few thousand yuan is not enough to enter the scene.

  The one who gave advice to Hei Zi is Zhao Kun, last year he was still the owner of two small mines, after a big gamble, he lost both mines, his wife took the children and left, now he has nothing to do but hang out in the small gambling den.

  Zhao Kun and a few others played while Zhao Kun told Hei Zi how to run a big gambling den.

  Since the beginning, Hei Zi had heard rumors about the big gamble, but what he heard was all hearsay. The few people who had opened a big gamble didn't tell him the situation, and he didn't know any of the big gamblers, so he knew very little about the big gamble.

  After listening for a while, Hei Zi finally figured out that the big gamble and small gamble were two completely different things. Nobody usually opens a big gamble like opening a small gamble, the big ones are all temporarily organized, temporary opening, time, place, participants are all temporarily set, the only requirement of the big gamblers is safety, except for those big mixed ones they are mostly people with some status and identity, being caught by the police is too embarrassing, as for where to go and play, they don't care.

  According to Zhao Kun, big gambling can happen anywhere. He once gambled with a few people in a wild cemetery all night and even won a lot that time.

  After listening to Zhao Kun's explanation, Hei Zi completely understood how to start a big gamble, now what was lacking was just a contact person.

  Nowadays, the people he knows who have played big are only Zhao Kun. Hei Zi wants Zhao Kun to help him contact people.

  Hei Zi expressed his thoughts, and Zhao Kun shook his head, saying: "I'm not very familiar with them, it's impossible to set up a trap."

  Zhao Kun couldn't be found, and Heizi inquired about the situation of the big gamble again. Zhao Kun said whatever he had to say without hiding anything.

  More than an hour later, Xiao Fei and Yin Le, Da Kui returned, Da Kui wrapped his head, Yin Le had a few band-aids on his face, the two looked very disheveled.

  "Hei Ge, where are they?" Da Kui asked as soon as he entered the door.

  "They left."

  Da Gui was about to leave after hearing this, Zhu Xiao Fei quickly pulled him back: "Where are you going?"

  "Go find them." Da Gui roared.

  Yin Le also wanted to go out, Hei Zi shouted: "All of you come back."

  Da Gui and Yin Le turned around to look at Hei Zi. Hei Zi said: "You two rest first, we'll talk again tomorrow."

  Da Kui and Yin Le went to another room to rest, while Hei Zi and Zhu Xiao Fei continued to watch them play.

  Zhao Kui gambled until the second half of the night and lost all his money. Hei Zi said to Zhu Xiao Fei, "Xiao Fei, lend Zhao two hundred yuan first."

  Xiao Fei took out 500 yuan, drew out four bills and left one, then put it back. At the same time, he took out his small notebook to keep accounts.

  The rules for borrowing money from a casino are that if you borrow 500, you can only get 400, with 100 being the interest. If you pay back the money within three days, you will still owe 500, but if you exceed three days, the interest will start to accrue at a rate of 10% or 20% per day.

  "Hei Zi looked at Zhu Xiao Fei and said: 'Xiao Fei, forget about this money, consider it enough, the interest is already covered, you can return it whenever.'"

  Xiao Fei didn't know why Heizi wanted to do this, but he understood that Heizi must have his reasons. He took out the 100 yuan he had just put away and gave it to Zhao Kun, while putting the small notebook into his pocket.
