my old life

Chapter 318 Gambler's Boundary

In the early morning, I was woken up by the sound of the ship's whistle. The long sound of the whistle echoed across the Nanjiang River, as if it could reach the distant and empty sky and wake up the silent things.

The white and gloomy sky made people feel depressing. The surroundings were barren except for the river. I don't know where the gambling boats are now, and there is no city around.

Standing in front of the round window of the cabin and lighting a cigarette, it has been a long time since I heard the sound of the siren. During that dark time, I have to go through a baptism every day, reminding me to start a day without hope.

I always think about Fox, her current life is not as good as when I was before, you can imagine how uncomfortable she is, if there is a chance, I must take her out!

I am not a hero, but I have principles and a conscience. Maybe I would do the same to other people. I can't understand the dirty things in the world, and I can't understand the despicable activities of gambling on boats.

Simply pack up and pretend to go out. I dare not take off the human skin mask at night. No one knows when there will be an emergency.

Early in the morning, the boat gambling hall was very quiet, and there were still many gamblers gambling here with red eyes. Most of the gaming tables have been suspended, and the dealers need to rest. Only two gaming tables are still going on.

After dawn is the craziest time for gamblers. Winning or losing is about to be decided. Although there is still a lot of time before the gambling boat continues to pay back every day, no one is willing to wait another second. This is the nature of gamblers.

In fact, when the gamblers finally let go, it is precisely the time when the croupier kills the chips most fiercely. During this time period, there will be no release, let alone a trace of mercy.

Looking around for Su Yurong's shadow, there was no one next to the gaming table, but he was lying on the sofa in the rest area.

Walking over to see Su Yurong resting his eyes on the sofa, wondering if he was asleep, I couldn't bear to wake him up for a while, few of them who can spend the night in the rest area have won money...

There seems to be an invisible boundary in the boat gambling hall. On one side is the luxurious world of paradise, and on the other side is the desolate world after debauchery...

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine that a gambler who spends a lot of money can lie on the sofa overnight. Gambling distorts people's psychology and changes people's normal values.

Gambling is entertainment and a stimulating consumption. The most addictive thing is that it can give people rewards, and people have the illusion that they can rely on this to make a fortune.

In the past, my second uncle said that most people want to live a better life for themselves, and everyone is like being trapped in a besieged city, unable to find a way out of their current life.

Some people can't find the direction to work hard, some people are very ambitious, and some are full of inertia and unwilling to try any hard work, but people will dream of a better life, and the emergence of gambling has given them a glimmer of hope.

You can earn a lot of money without working hard every day, and give all those with poor self-control a breakthrough to get out of the siege. In fact, most gamblers are not bad-hearted, and they are also one of the mortal beings.

As the old saying goes, the poor have a plan, but the rich have a conscience.

When people are poor and forced to make a living, they will think about the means of making money, and they will choose to take risks. Only after people have money will they develop a conscience, cherish their own life and even more cherish their own tomorrow.

I once tasted the taste of losing money, and I also tasted the taste of losing money. It was as if the whole world had lost hope. I couldn’t find a direction for the future blindly, and I didn’t even know what to do next. I suffered from the desolation in my heart again and again .

Just like a small boat lost in the vast sea, unable to find its direction and where to belong, maybe only when it loses everything will it think of going ashore, and only when it loses to the point of no return will it realize its full meaning.

When a person is completely desperate, he doesn't know whether he can get forgiveness from his family when he turns around...

"Morning." Suddenly he said something abruptly behind him, and looked back to see that Su Yurong opened his eyes.

"Why do you sleep here?" I asked without turning my head, standing there smoking a cigarette quietly, there are cameras everywhere in the boat gambling hall, and everything is exposed to the surveillance of others.

"It's normal for a gambler to sleep here, and it's even more normal after losing everything." Su Yurong laughed at himself, and it seemed that he was also killed off all his chips.

"Slowly you get used to it. If the gambling boat docks today, let's get off the boat and call when the time comes." After speaking, I walked towards the gaming table, trying to avoid too much contact.

Be careful in everything on the gambling boat, and ordinary gamblers who come together will not have any taboos, but I am different from him.

Half an hour later, the boat gambling hall became lively, and the waiters began to clean up. There was a special place for eating next to it. All the meals were free, but if you want to eat better, you can order it a la carte.

There are also some gamblers who come to eat with beauties in red dresses with them. They spend money like dirt, as if they are big winners in life, and they can distinguish the difference between people very well.

People who win money and those who lose money will be distinguished no matter where they are. Different lives and different treatment only depend on whether there is money in their pockets. A pile of banknotes made of paper can change the mentality of most people.

Sitting down, he ordered a bowl of porridge and a side dish, quietly watching everything in front of him, waiting for the fox to appear.

I don't know how she is now, maybe she will go to the place where the staff of the gambling boat eats, maybe she will accompany Chu Jun to eat here...

After a while, Su Yurong also came here, with the same porridge and side dishes, he is considered lucky among all people, because he is not a real gambler, his life is still full of hope, and he still has tomorrow to look forward to. hope.

After dinner, I was about to leave, when suddenly I saw a few Chu County guys walking in, followed by a few beauties in red dresses, after a closer look, Fox was not among them, she was the only one missing.

I don't know where she is now, but I really hope that Mr. Chu will be accompanied by another beautiful woman, so that I can have the opportunity to order her, so that I can see her.

I stood up and hurried to the gambling boat hall. If I can see the fox, I must pay her. At this moment, I am afraid that she will be taken away by others, because on the gambling boat, beauties in red dresses have no right to choose gamblers.

In fact, there is no difference between the beauties in red dresses and the young ladies on the gambling boat. Most of the time, I have no choice. I even hope that the fox's aunt can come to see her, at least it will save a few days of suffering.

People who gamble pay attention to luck, and they are even more taboo when female relatives come to visit. Bloody battles can easily lead to bloody disasters. Many people in the north pay attention to this, let alone the south.

When I came to the boat gambling hall, I didn't see any foxes. Countless waiters in black shirts were cleaning up. Only when there was no one in the boat gambling hall during the meal, there were still some gamblers who were unwilling to leave.

All the gaming tables were suspended, and the few remaining gamblers sat in front of the empty gaming tables, secretly sad, and even lost the mood to eat. One can imagine what a torturous night they experienced...

During this short break and meal time, the entire gambling hall had to be cleaned up, the ventilator was turned on to the maximum horsepower, and the cold wind with the smell of river water was poured into the hall.

Looking at everything that is familiar in front of me, I have done this before. I know that the beauties in red dresses probably go to the rest room now, and they have a special rest room.

Going to order beauties in red dresses is too unusual now, and they also have to rest. The best time is after two o'clock in the afternoon, so I can only wait patiently.

Sitting at the gaming table near the lounge in the boat gambling hall, I waited all this time but didn't see Fox, as if she disappeared out of thin air, I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.

I don't know how long she has lived like this, but I know that every day is a torment, just like myself, if possible, I must take her out...

Time passed by, the boat gambling hall became lively at two o'clock in the afternoon, the gamblers who were resting in the private rooms had already woken up, and almost all the beauties in red dresses appeared, and many of them looked haggard, knowing that they had been tossed about at night.

But no matter how they are tossed, they still want to make money, just like people in all walks of life, they will never stop working hard to make money, tireless and restless.

But in this world, the only thing that cannot be earned enough is money, and the only thing that cannot be filled is greedy hearts...

The same place with different time and mentality. When I was trapped here, I never thought that I could come back one day, and I never thought that I could stand here one day and look at everything here with cold eyes.

But the fox never showed up. I don't know where she went, and I don't know if she was locked up somewhere alone. I feel more and more uncertain...
