The hand of the city covers the sky

Paoma Mountain is the name of a small town in Huaxing City, between Sankou District and Yunhe District, surrounded by mountains, poor and backward, not much better than Lantianba, such a poor and backward town, apart from smelling The gamblers who came here usually rarely set foot in this place.

It is also because of the poverty and backwardness here that the police in Huaxing City generally do not come here to check. In fact, even if they come, as soon as they enter the town, they will be found and nothing can be found, so this place has become an underground place instead. Great location for the casino.

The Paomashan casino is run by a local boss, and there are more than a dozen local gangsters under him. Their method of making money is very different from the casino run by the Qingshan Gang. Due to their limited gambling skills, they do not directly deal with the gamblers in the casino. Instead of gambling, they charge a certain head fee and "let the horse go".

Fangma is a common name for local usury. It is actually a usury, but their method of calculating interest is quite different from ordinary usury. Generally, they only issue short-term usury. The repayment period is limited to one day, and the interest rate is 5.00%. That is to say, if a gambler borrows 1 yuan from them when they lose money in gambling, they must repay them [-] and [-] yuan with interest on the same day.

If the gambler makes money on the same day, there is no problem. If he loses all, a few younger brothers will follow the gambler back to get the money.

You can earn 1 yuan a day with [-] yuan. It seems that there is not much profit. In fact, because the cycle is only one day, the profit is very considerable.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and on the road leading to the mountains of Paoma Town, a motorcycle passed by like lightning. At the same time, the unique roar of the Harley motorcycle was particularly loud in this silent mountain.

In a blink of an eye, the Harley motorcycle detoured down the mountain road and drove into the small town. Shi Haodong took off his helmet and took a look at the small town. At a glance, most of the roads on both sides were old-fashioned tile-roofed houses. There are three or four two-story buildings, and there is a small shop not far from the right front, she turned her head and said to Xu Qing: "I'll go down and ask the way, do you want to buy something?"

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Look at the snacks, just bring me some, and buy a bottle of mineral water."

Shi Haodong walked into the store and asked for a plastic bag from the proprietress who was guarding the store inside. He went in and chose a few packets of snacks such as potato chips, melon seeds, raisins, etc., took two bottles of mineral water and returned to the door, put the plastic bag in the Count the money to the proprietress at the counter and say, "Madam proprietress, how much is it? Where is the casino?"

The proprietress said: "It's 85 yuan in total. Do you want to go to the casino? It's a bit far away. It's hard to find without a guide. Would you like me to find a guide for you? It's very cheap. 15 yuan will do. .”

Shi Haodong was born in a rural area, so he naturally knew that 15 yuan was already very expensive in the countryside. Generally speaking, rural people can’t earn that much in a day’s work, and they only charge 15 yuan for driving, which is considered a good job, but right now When it's not time to care about these little money, he nodded immediately and said: "That would be the best."

The proprietress smiled and said: "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go and call my son out." After finishing speaking, she went into the back hall to call for someone, and after a while, she led a **-year-old child back and pointed at Shi Hao. : "You take this uncle to the casino, and come back immediately after you bring him, you are not allowed to watch there, do you hear me?"

The child nodded and said, "Understood, Mom."

Immediately, Shi Haodong and Liu Xu rode the motorcycle slowly under the guidance of the child. After driving more than 30 meters, they turned into a fork on the right, walked straight, and climbed halfway up the mountain.

When I got to the middle of the mountain, I saw a brightly lit building standing in the darkness. From time to time, there was a burst of yelling, and I knew that it should be there, and said to the child: "Is that the land?"

The child said: "Yes, Uncle, Auntie is so beautiful."

Shi Haodong smiled and said, "How do you know that Auntie is so pretty?"

The child said: "Mom said that as long as I say that my aunt is beautiful, my uncle will give me a tip. Is that true?"

Both Shi Haodong and Liu Xu burst out laughing, Shi Haodong took out 100 yuan to the child, and said, "Come on, uncle will give you [-] yuan to buy candy, you should go back quickly, and be careful on the way."

The child quickly took the money and said, "Thank you Uncle, thank you Auntie, I'm leaving."

Xu Qing looked at the child's back and said with a smile: "The child is so cute now, it will be great when I have a child like this."

时浩东回头调笑道：“那还不简单，我们3f3f3f3f3f3f”

Xu Qing shouted: "Don't tell me! Who did you have sex with?"

Shi Haodong smiled triumphantly, stepped on the accelerator, and the motorcycle sped forward, and after a while, he arrived in the yard outside the building, and a [-]-year-old gangster came up to him and said, "Two Are you here to gamble?"

Shi Haodong nodded his head and said "En".

The little gangster said: "It is enough to park the car here, and there is an entrance fee of 300 yuan per person."

It was the first time Shi Haodong heard that there was an entrance fee to enter a casino, and he asked in astonishment, "Should we pay 300 yuan before we gamble?"

The little gangster said: "The rules of our casino have always been like this, without exception."

Shi Haodong nodded, and said: "Okay then." He got out of the car with Xu Qing, took out six one-hundred-yuan bills and handed them over.

The little bastard took the money, counted it and said, "Come with me, please."

Shi Haodong and Xu Qing followed the gangsters and walked in. Just as they crossed the threshold, they saw a lively scene inside, with seven or eight mahjong tables set up on the left hand side, and the voices of "Peng, bar, eat" were heard endlessly. , on the right hand side are the card tables, and the yelling is not at all suppressed by the left hand side.In addition, every three meters or so, there is a small gangster standing with his hands behind his back, watching from the side, obviously monitoring whether there are any guests coming out.

Seeing this scene, Shi Haodong was a little surprised, he didn't expect to open an underground casino in such a remote place to be so popular.

"You two, please do whatever you want. If you are short of money, we can provide loans with very low interest rates." The gangster promoted.

Shi Haodong said, "How low is it?"

The little gangster said: "As long as 5.00%, the minimum loan is 1 yuan, but it must be paid back within 24 hours."

Shi Haodong said: "Okay, if we need it, we will borrow it from you. By the way, where do your casinos usually come from?"

The little gangster gave Shi Haodong a vigilant look, and said, "Sir, there are some things that you can't ask casually, please go ahead."

Shi Haodong and Xu Qing looked at each other, and then said, "Do you want to play mahjong or poker?"

Xu Qing said: "Which one is more fun?"

Shi Haodong wondered, "You don't know how?"

Xu Qing said: "What? No way!"

Shi Haodong said: "Okay, let me teach you how to play mahjong." He led Xu Qing to the hall on the left, and saw a person standing up in a disheveled state at the table in front, and immediately pointed to that position, and said, "Let's go there Bar."

Xu Qing said "oh", walked to the seat and sat down.

Shi Haodong pulled up a stool and sat behind Xu Qing. After counting the cards, the person on the opposite side rolled the dice, and then drew the cards respectively.

After getting the cards, Xu Qing didn't know whether the cards were good or bad, so she asked, "How is it? Are the cards good?"

Shi Haodong looked at the whole deck of cards, but it was a very bad deck, he needed five cards to listen to the cards, but he smiled and said: "Yes, your luck is really good." Then he taught Xu Qingli Cards, how to eat, how to touch, how to kong and other basic rules.

Since it was Xu Qing's first time to start, the speed was inevitably very slow. A man in his 30s who was sitting on Xu Qing's hands began to complain. After waiting twice, he couldn't help complaining a few words. Shi Haodong and Xu Qing But he ignored it and played his own cards as usual.

After playing two rounds, Xu Qing and Shi Haodong were unlucky. They didn't win, and lost more than 1000 yuan in one breath. By this time, Xu Qing had basically learned it, but she was very happy, and said with a smile: " Go and play by yourself, I already know it."

Shi Haodong also wanted to take a look around, and immediately asked, "Do you have any cash with you?"

Xu Qing turned her head and said, "I didn't bring it."

Shi Haodong took out his trouser pocket and found that he only had more than 800 yuan. He gave all the 800 yuan to Xu Qing and said, "It's all for you. You need to earn some money, otherwise you won't have anything to play with."

Xu Qing said confidently: "Don't worry! I've already learned it, and I will definitely be able to make money next time."

Shi Haodong nodded, and walked towards the poker area. After walking a few steps, he suddenly saw a sturdy man standing up against the table, pointing at a young man in his 20s at the same table, wearing glasses, who looked gentle and shouted: "I don't believe that you are so lucky. You beat me even if you don't play! Hold him down for me, and I want to see if there are any cards hidden in him!"

The three people at the same table responded loudly: "Yes, Brother Bao!" They hurriedly held down the young man, and were about to search him, when suddenly there was a loud shout: "Stop!"

A blue-eyed man walked towards that table with five or six gangsters who were watching the venue. The blue-eyed man said as he walked, "Brother Leopard, I welcome you to my venue to gamble. If you make trouble, don't blame me for not paying for it." Your face."

The tough man named Brother Bao said angrily: "Green Snake, you protect him so much, is he your man?"

The green snake said: "Everyone who comes to this casino knows very well that my people never take part in gambling, how could they be my people?"

Brother Bao said: "This is the best, now I suspect that this kid is cheating, you better not stop me?"

The green snake said: "What evidence do you have?"

Brother Bao said arrogantly: "Hmph! Could it be that I can't afford to lose this little money, so I can't blame him for nothing?"

The green snake said: "What if we can't find it?"

Brother Leopard shouted: "If you can't find it, I will admit your mistake."
