my old life

Chapter 191 The Turbulent Night

But I'm not that close to Su Yurong, and we haven't met ten times in total. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to borrow money rashly?

In the past, I never asked others to borrow money, because I was too embarrassed to ask and I was afraid of being in debt, but now I really have nowhere to go, even if I can eat a piece of bread now.

Some people say that hunger can give people endless motivation, and it can also make people more and more crazy. After thinking about it, they simply put their minds to one side, and make a phone call to try if it is successful!
When I got through the phone, I wrote a few words first, and then asked him if he could borrow some money. When he said the word borrow money, my face was hot. I never asked others to borrow money since I was a child.

His tone was very calm, he only asked what he wanted to borrow money for but not how much he wanted to borrow. When I said borrow money for dinner, he thought about it and agreed.

I asked him if he could bring me the money, because I couldn't get away now, and if I could bring me two loaves when I came, I was already hungry.

He agreed without hesitation, but when he knew that he was coming to a five-star hotel, he was really surprised. I hurriedly explained a few words, but I couldn't explain a few sentences clearly, so I had to wait until he came to explain.

Hanging up the phone, I breathed a sigh of relief, but I felt that I owed Su Yurong a favor. Borrowing money is really embarrassing, but now I really have no choice but to return it to him sooner.

It took nearly an hour for Su Yurong to appear. During this period, I thought many times that he would not come. After all, there are many things that I don’t want to agree to because it’s hard to refuse because of sympathy, and I will find a reason to shirk them later...

After seeing him, I was very excited, especially since he also bought bread and ham sausages. It is common to add icing on the cake, but it is rare to give charcoal in a timely manner!

It's just that he was wearing a security uniform with the words Splendid City printed on his chest. He looked like he came here in a hurry. I haven't seen him for a few days. Could it be that he is going to be a security guard?

His eyes were surprised when he saw me, and he asked calmly, "What are you doing sitting here?"

"I can't explain a sentence or two. I'll eat a piece of bread first." I don't know how to explain this, but it's good that the person is here now.

I unwrapped the bread and ate the ham sausage. I had never felt so delicious. I didn’t expect him to buy me two bottles of mineral water. It’s so sweet!
It’s just that I’m not ashamed to ask him about the security uniform on his body. In fact, it’s not shameful to earn money by working with your hands. The money you earn is clean money. Although it’s less than gambling money, you can feel at ease.

Perhaps this is the reason why most people do not choose to make a fortune from gambling. Although ordinary people are very ordinary, they can have peace of mind. For most people, it is enough to live a life with peace of mind.

After eating two pieces of bread and drinking some mineral water, the whole person felt comfortable. It is estimated that no one likes the feeling of being hungry. After eating, he lit a cigarette and his whole body was clear.

Su Yurong leaned against the wall and watched me finish eating calmly. He didn't ask me the specific reason, and I didn't know how to explain it. I felt embarrassed when I thought of borrowing money.

After dawdling for a long time, I faltered and said: "Well... can you lend me some money, and I will pay you back as soon as possible."

"Is it urgent?" He looked at me very seriously, I nodded embarrassedly, now I can't eat anymore, even if I want to gamble, I still need capital.

"Okay." He took out the wallet from his body and threw it to me. I was shocked at the time, I've never seen someone borrow a wallet!

"It's not a lot of money, but that's all. I have to help someone watch the door at night, so I'm leaving first." He turned and left after talking about me.

It feels heavy to hold the wallet in my hand. I don't know what changed his lifestyle, let alone what made him say something like showing someone the door...

When I opened my wallet, there was only 320 yuan. Looking at the money, I couldn’t tell what it was like. It wasn’t even enough for me to gamble in the past, but the money was clean and he got it back through hard work.

I have never felt that money would have such weight. Now it seems that this is not money. It is clearly Su Yurong's wish. He rushed over with just a phone call and was willing to lend me the money without asking why.

If it was me, I'm afraid I can't do it. What moved me the most was that the first thing he cared about was me, not why he wanted to borrow money. I will secretly remember this friendship in my heart!

I carefully put away his wallet, and I secretly vowed to return the money to him as soon as possible, and I also asked him what was going on. In my opinion, a person like him is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he would definitely not work part-time at night for money.

Looking at the time, it was already [-]:[-]. I knew I couldn't pick up Seventeenth Sister today, so I took out my phone and sent her a text message, hoping she wouldn't mind.

I don't know if Sister Seventeen's father scolded her last night, I don't think he would hit her, right?Sighing helplessly, he sat at the door of the room and smoked boredly.

Now I have tasted what it means to be a teacher is not easy. If you want to learn other people's skills, you have to wait. It doesn't matter how much it costs, and whether others teach or not is another matter.

My second uncle never put on airs when he was teaching me skills since I was a child, and even gave me a lot of pocket money as a reward. If I wasn't his nephew, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to learn a thousand skills!

Ever since I started gambling, I feel more and more the importance of techniques. A thousand skills cannot be mastered in a day, and it is even more impossible to learn them without a good master. I am very grateful to my second uncle.

In the past, I always felt that he was out of tune and always did things different from normal people, but as time went by, I could always discover the good intentions of my second uncle. Many things that I didn’t understand at the beginning can only be understood now. Everything is for I'm good.

If it wasn't for my second uncle, I'm afraid I'd still be living in my old home. I don't have much to worry about if I'm full or hungry every day. I'm looking forward to going to an Internet cafe every day...

During the quiet night, I thought a lot, and many passers-by looked at me with strange eyes. I lowered my head and pretended not to see it, but I was actually quite uncomfortable.

However, compared to the grievances and kindness that my second uncle has suffered and the kindness to me, receiving people's eyes is nothing at all. If I can't do this well, my second uncle will definitely be disappointed. I want to show him a personal appearance !
No matter what happens to my second uncle in the future, I will take care of him like my parents until the end of his life. He has not found a wife in his forties and has not left a son or a daughter. I really don't know what he is dawdling about.

Time passed slowly, and I couldn't bear the yawning anymore. I usually don't feel sleepy at the gaming table, but now I can't stand doing nothing.

He wanted to leave and go out to buy something, but he didn't dare to leave, so he gritted his teeth and knocked on the door, thinking that he wanted a poker head office, right?Even if I give money.

It took him half a day to open the door. Although I was mentally prepared, I couldn't help being surprised because I saw a different face again.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"Brother, can you give me a deck of playing cards, I, I can buy it with money."

Before I finished speaking, the door was slammed shut. Standing at the door, I felt my face was hot, but anyone with a bit of backbone would feel uncomfortable. I have seen his impatience just now, but I really can't leave.

After a while, the door opened, and I immediately stood up from the ground, and my heart was instantly filled with hope!
"Brother, you finally..."

Before he finished speaking, he threw out two packs of things, and then the door was closed heavily. I saw a pack of poker and a pack of cigarettes on the ground, and I couldn't help laughing.

Looking at this guy who is cold, but still has a bit of human touch in his life, and he knows to give a pack of cigarettes, he probably won't leave tonight.

Smoking a cigarette, I started playing poker. Not to mention Su Yan's fragrance and elegant taste, I played poker repeatedly, but now the game is different from before.

In the past, I used various small tricks, but now I connect all the tricks together, such as sleeve arrow, swallow hand, flipping the bottom, sending two cards, treasure cards, the universe in the sleeve, etc., with only one purpose, which is to get out of the thousand!
I closed my eyes and tried to integrate myself into the gambling atmosphere, pretending that I was sitting at a gaming table now, and then started to perform the trick of connecting.

At first I felt a little uneasy, but gradually everything calmed down. I closed my eyes and used various techniques calmly, and even felt that I was more proficient when I closed my eyes.

If you can't see things, you won't be disturbed by the outside world. It's really good to immerse yourself in one's world. After practicing again and again, I feel that my state is getting better and better, just like appearing in a gambling game. Same.

I don’t know how many times I have practiced, I don’t know how many cigarettes I have smoked. Every time I let myself change my imaginary enemy, finally the shadows of Mao Bai and A Jin appeared in my mind, and the person next to me was my second uncle.

In a daze, it seemed that he had returned to Jin Ye's gambling boat, sitting in the most luxurious private room facing Mao Bai and the others, and could even feel the tension in the atmosphere.

My heart became tense involuntarily. Even sitting next to my second uncle, I couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. The card dealing technique was affected and became jerky.

I didn't expect that I was so afraid of Maobai subconsciously. If I was afraid even in fantasy, then I couldn't even imagine the day when I really faced it...

However, after seeing the appearance of the second uncle in my mind, my heart calmed down a little. I overcame myself in my heart again and again, and practiced various techniques again and again until I was able to calm down when facing Maobai.

In a trance, it's like a real gambling game, this is a game that can only be won but not lost!

After I overcome the last psychological barrier, Maobai in front of me is like a water fish, a water fish that knows a thousand tricks but is not as good as me. At this moment, it seems to have entered my domain, and I am the master of everything God!
I started to bet against Maobai in my mind, and every time I confronted each other without giving in, I cooperated with the second uncle and tried every means to kill him. When the last card was at a critical moment, I was suddenly awakened by the cigarette burning to my lips!

I quickly spit out the cigarette butt with sparks, and my mouth was burned, but suddenly I saw a very faint light flashing through the cat's eye of the door. The distance is too far and the cat's eye is too small. I don't know if I am Dazzled.

I stood up and took a closer look at the light through the cat's eyes and no one was peeking. I thought to myself that maybe I was wrong...
