How Shuangxie and the others sneaked into the city with Mei Chiyang and others, I won't go into details.
Let’s talk about Sun Ling and Huang Jun.
Let's talk about these two scoundrels. Since they came out of Ruyang County, they have made a lot of money by pretending to be Sun Yixie and Huang Dong.
Putting aside some of the petty theft they did along the way, let’s just say that they “eat gangsters” in the ruined temple, devoured the things Zhu Chao had just stolen from the tomb of the mountain-moving Taisui, and later went to Liuzhuang to cheat. The stolen goods from these two transactions alone were enough to make them rich after being sold in Zhoukou.
As for the virtues of these two people, as we have said in the previous document, they will not make long-term plans just because they have some money, such as saving some money to do some serious business and not cheating again in the future. ……it's out of the question.
Sun Ling and Huang Jun are naturally the type of people who are "drunk now". Such people do not know how to endure, have no self-control, no introspection, are extremely selfish, and lack empathy and sympathy.
In today's terms, a typical garbage person.
Keeping pets without vaccinations, walking dogs without a leash or picking up dog poop, throwing garbage without sorting it, destroying public property as if it were your own, cutting in line as if nothing happened, and never caring about whether others can move or pick up things when parking. It's your own, and if you don't take advantage of it, you'll lose. Doing all the above while mocking those who follow the rules is stupid.
In ancient times, this kind of person was defined by a word that was somewhat class-discriminatory but quite precise - unruly people.
Modern laws, including law enforcement, are relatively polite to this kind of people, but in the modern world, if this kind of guy commits a crime and is brought to court, he will most likely be killed on the spot.
Naturally, Sun Ling and Huang Jun have not reached that stage yet, and they are still very proud of themselves at the moment.
In the past two days, they used the defrauded money to go whoring and gambling in the city. They came together at noon to have a banquet, in the afternoon they gambled, and in the evening they visited brothels and drank wine, and then spent the night in a brothel. .
The most annoying thing...when they did these things, they still used the names of Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai.
Therefore, when the real Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai entered the city, they quickly found out their whereabouts.
You can say that these two counterfeiters are courageous, small-minded, and unprepared at all; but from their perspective, this is indeed a development that is difficult to predict - it is impossible for them to expect that the real thing will be like that. I quickly heard about the existence of these two fakes and tracked them down personally within just a few days.
According to Mei Chiyang, since we already know the whereabouts of these two turtle grandsons, there is nothing else to do. We will take action tonight. We will arrest them and beat them overnight until they are both fat. Then we can talk slowly if we have anything to say.
Sun Yixie said, this is an advantage for them. Just beating is boring, but how good is torture? "The beautiful lady ascends the ladder", "the immortal offers fruit", "the ape wears the crown"... I'll give it a go.
Mei Chiyang's knowledge was very shallow now. He had never heard of these tortures, so he asked Brother Sun to explain. After Brother Sun explained, Mei Chiyang shuddered, thinking about this kid. He's not a good person either. Why is this method more ruthless than what we at Green Forest Road do?
Huang Donglai couldn't stand listening to the conversation between the two of them. In the end, Brother Huang said something fair: "Master Mei Zhai, your behavior is too vulgar; Mr. Sun, your skills are damaged... I think we We should still think of a less vicious way but enough to punish them, and play with these two monkeys."
Then, he came up with a strategy of "cheating with deception", so that the two impostors would also have a taste of being deceived.
After Sun Yixie and Mei Chiyang heard this, they both gave Mr. Huang...oh no...Brother Huang a thumbs up: "Brother Huang, there is something."
After reaching an agreement, the three of them discussed it some more, perfected some details, and then assigned tasks to Lei Buji and Mei Chiyang's men. The show... will start tonight.
…………
It was night, the sky was already dark, and Sun Ling and Huang Juncai slowly walked out of the casino.
The casino is a very particular place.
Not seeing light, not seeing wind, not seeing emptiness, these three are the basics.
What does that mean?
First of all, the first one is no light, that is, in the casino, it is best not to let in natural light from the outside, whether it is sunlight or moonlight. This has nothing to do with whether the venue is legal or not. In ancient times, the same was true for legal gambling stalls. The design is definitely not like that of an open-air venue, and even if it does, it won’t be open for a long time.
Any lighting in a casino must use artificial light sources. The light must be adjusted to a relatively dim and comfortable level. Once people enter the place, they will not be able to know the time outside. If it is a modern casino, the room must be as dark and comfortable as possible. This is also true for avoiding clocks.
Secondly, the second point, no wind, has the same meaning as the first point, that is to say, there should be fewer or even no windows in the casino.
Windows not only bring in light and wind from the outside, but also often become the first choice for escapees. What trouble would it be if someone suddenly grabbed a handful of silver on the table and broke out of the window? Even if you chase the person back, the window is already broken and people run away every day. Can't you change the window every day?
In addition, the indoor temperature in the casino is also particular. It should not be too hot, which would make people unable to stay, nor too cold, which would make people wake up easily when the wind blows. It is best to be on the hot side, which is the kind that makes people easily get sick. hot……
Finally, the third point is that there is no emptiness. This "empty" can be understood as space, or it can also be said to be emptiness.
A place like a casino must always feel crowded and lively, so that people will have a sense of integration as soon as they step in. Many modern disco bars do the same thing, that is, the music must be loud and the place is crowded, so that they can Convenience makes you part of the ChéngRén group... If you can easily find a relatively spacious space to think alone for a few minutes in a place like this, then the design of this place has failed.
The distance between various items in the casino should be minimized as much as possible. It is best that when you turn around, your attention will move from one item to another, and people will blend from one group of people to another.
The above... methods of blurring people's sense of time and space have been around since ancient times, and they can be regarded as the crystallization of the wisdom of those who do this business.
Just imagine, if you walk into a casino, it is as spacious as a gymnasium. There is a big skylight on the roof, and there are many high windows around, with good ventilation and lighting. There is a cold wind all day long. Every gambler inside The projects are all seven or eight meters apart, and there are only three or five people playing next to each project... Then you must not be interested.
Of course, "VIP" or "big room" is another matter; what we are talking about here refers to the casino environment accessible to ordinary gamblers.
Although Sun Ling and Huang Jun are both in their early twenties, they are both old gamblers. They have long been accustomed to the greenhouse-like environment of the casino. They can stay in it for a whole day without even drinking water. , so you can spend less time going to the toilet.
Today, they had been gambling for three or four hours without knowing it...To sum up, they lost more and won less, but they didn't lose everything.
Many people feel that as soon as they enter the casino, they will immediately lose their money and it is impossible to get out even a penny left. This is actually wrong... Most people who are squeezed dry in the "treasure game" have one The process does not happen overnight - it usually takes a certain amount of time for a sane person to turn into an irrational gambler, and extreme cases are only a minority after all.
Those who open the treasure game don't have to do anything deliberately. If every time a person comes in, they want to immediately spend money to win all his money, then this business will not be possible.
This business also pays attention to steady flow... To put it bluntly, as long as you have enough capital and don't encounter particularly powerful masters or conmen, if you continue to operate normally, you will definitely make a profit without losing money. And if you lose, it means there is something wrong with the mathematical rules of this world, or you have misunderstood the rules of a certain gambling project you run.
"Bah, what a damn bad luck!" Sun Ling spat on the ground as soon as he came out of the treasure bureau. It was obvious that losing money made him feel unhappy.
Huang Jun was more open-minded than him. He came up and patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Hey~ Brother Sun, forget it, this money is easy to come by anyway, isn't it?"
What he said is true. Isn't it easy to steal something and cheat it?
"Come on, Brother Sun, let's change the brothel tonight to see if there's a better girl than yesterday, to calm you down." Huang Jun pulled Sun Ling and walked in one direction, "I'll go there at noon After asking around, there is a good one in the south of the city, let’s go.”
"Well..." Upon hearing this, Sun Ling immediately turned from anger to joy, "Since Brother Huang said so, let's go."
After that, the two people walked side by side towards the south of the city, laughing.
It was getting late at this time, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street. The two of them were walking and happened to come to a deserted alley.
After the two entered the alley, they had not walked a few steps when they saw a figure coming from the opposite side of the alley... Judging from the outline, it was still a woman.
If this was an old lady or a fat aunt, then the two of them would not take a second glance, but unfortunately, the woman still looked like a big girl; although she was still far away and it was dark, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but she looked at her face. The figure and gait make people think that this is probably a beauty.
Ordinarily...Sun Ling and Huang Jun were going to visit the brothels, so there was no need to do anything else on the way, but this guy...when he was proud, he would easily get carried away.
In the past, when they were in their hometown, they often did petty theft, but they did not dare to molest good women in the street, because they had done it once or twice, and they were scolded by the people around them. Beat them violently, and then they learn to behave.
But now, after pretending to be "Sun Yixie" and "Huang Donglai" for so long, they have the illusion that they are really some great people.
If you have a "fame" and money, you are no longer a gangster, but an uncle... If the uncles commit a crime, as long as it is not too serious, they can get out of it with money even if they enter the Yamen. They know this even if they are gangsters.
At this moment, when Sun Ling and Huang Jun saw the girl, they both felt malicious intent; they immediately exchanged glances, and then a lewd smile appeared on their faces.
Then, they quickened their pace and walked towards each other.
As for the girl, she had already walked into the alley and walked about a third of the distance. When she saw the two people coming across from her, she seemed to have noticed something was wrong. She quickly stopped, turned around and wanted to run back.
But how could she, who had her feet bound, outrun two men?
In the blink of an eye, Sun Ling and Huang Jun caught up with him and stopped her one after another.
"Eh? Girl, why are you running away?" Sun Ling stopped in front of the other party with a smile, and looked hard at the other party's face under the moonlight.
Not to mention, the girl is indeed pretty, with a light application of makeup on her face and a lightly swept brow; she is only in her late teens, her hair is styled in a unmarried bun, and she wears a white turban , wearing a light blue armor on the outside, and a ribbon tied with a butterfly twist on the chest.
Seeing Sun Ling standing in front of her and staring at her, the girl quickly turned away and lowered her head, trying to turn away from him, but she bumped into Huang Jun's arms again.
"Ha! Girl, look at this little road." Huang Jun also burst into laughter, and moved toward the person, and he was about to use his hands and feet.
"You...you...what do you want to do?" The girl's eyes flashed, she looked extremely frightened, and her voice was very low.
These thieves, the more timid they meet, the more courageous they become.
"Hehe... Girl, don't get me wrong." Sun Ling also approached the other party and responded with a smile, "We thought it was getting dark today. Girl, you are walking around in such a secluded place alone. We are afraid that you are in danger. So I want to protect you."
"Yes, yes." Huang Jun also answered, "Girl, don't be afraid... My name is Huang Donglai, and this is my brother Sun Yixie. You can go and find out. We are both famous young knights in the world. Not a bad person."
Although these two guys have been pretending to be Shuangxie for a short time, less than a week, they have become very accustomed to calling themselves Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai. Even in private, they no longer call each other by their real names. , Therefore, when doing this kind of self-introduction, their faces have already remained calm and their hearts are not beating. Even if they blurt out their names, they are still giving false names.
"Eh? Really?" Unexpectedly, after the girl heard Huang Jun's words, her next sentence was, "Are you Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai?"
When she said this, the fear and shyness on her face disappeared, and turned into an expression of surprise, and her tone and voice were a little higher.
Sun Ling and Huang Jun were stunned when they saw this scene.
"Uh... uh, yes, it's true." Sun Ling hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully.
"That's great!" After hearing this, the girl continued with a smile on her face, "My little girl has already heard about the names of these two young heroes, and she admires them very much. Now that I can see them today, they are really talented."
"Ah? Ah... um, really?" Seeing the other party's sudden enthusiasm, Huang Jun didn't know how to answer the conversation, "Girl, thank you, thank you..."
At this time, the girl showed a shy, even seductive look, and continued: "You two young heroes, although this is the first time we meet, the little girl has an unkind request. I don't know whether to talk about it or not. ?”
"Say! Just say it." Sun Ling looked at her with such eyes that his bones almost went numb, and he answered quickly.
Not wanting to lag behind, Huang Jun quickly grabbed half a step, walked around in front of the girl, and squeezed Sun Ling to the side, as if he was afraid that the girl wouldn't be able to see his face: "Yes, yes, tell me, what's the matter?" You can make any request, and I, Huang Donglai, will do my best to help!"
After the girl received this answer, she was not in a hurry.
She stood there and frowned slightly, as if she hesitated in her heart, and then said: "Well... that's it... Today, the little girl sent her father to the hospital for treatment, so she came back late, and the place where my family lives is... It's remote and I'm the only one at home, so I can only walk alone at night..."
She paused, blushed, and glanced at the two impostors again: "I thought I had met a bad guy just now, but I didn't expect that I was lucky enough to meet two young heroes... In this case, I don't know what I can do Do you please ask the two young heroes to send me home? If you two are willing to agree..." She paused for another half a second and whispered in a more delicate tone, "When I get home, I will thank you two sincerely. "
