In a building two streets away from Yunlong Mall.
The door to the basement was pushed open. This was a video game arcade. The equipment inside was very old and incompatible with the cards in the uptown area.
There were not many people in the arcade. The busiest thing was a mahjong table in the corner of the arcade. In addition to the mahjong players, there were five or six people standing around it.
The two young men at the bar were playing with their mobile phones carelessly. They didn't seem to care about the business of the arcade.
A little boy of 14 or 15 years old came in. The young man with yellow hair at the bar waved to the little boy, "Hook, are you here to change money again?"
The little boy's nickname was Hook. He took out a 90% new mobile phone, "the latest fruit machine."
Huang Mao glanced at the phone and sighed helplessly, "I won't accept this thing, you should go find the third master!"
Hook took back his phone and came directly behind a man at the mahjong table.
The man is touching the cigarette. His hand that touches the cigarette is very distinctive. Two fingers are missing, namely the ring finger and the little finger. If you look closely at his other hand holding the cigarette, you will find that the other hand is also missing fingers. However, Only one little finger.
No one knew the man's name. Those who traveled with him only knew his surname: Xing.
In the early years, he was a famous pickpocket in Meihai City. He was caught by people on the street several times and had two fingers chopped off. After that, he couldn't help being evil, and he encountered a lot of trouble and had his fingers chopped off again. a little finger.
At this point, the man decided to stay away from stealing and only do some business of selling stolen goods.
Three fingers were missing, so people on the road jokingly called him San'er. As time went by, the Jianghu people who debuted with San'er were either caught or died.
Over time, people who were new to the world of martial arts began to treat him with an honorific title, and they all liked to call him Third Master.
Mr. Xing touched the mahjong tiles with his thumb, and with a bright smile on his face, he smashed the tiles on the table, "Touch yourself! Triple it!"
The other three families expressed their gratitude to Mr. Xing for his good luck and handed the three playing cards to Mr. Xing.
This is the rule set by the third master. Playing cards are used as money, and you can pay via WeChat after you go out. With the reputation of punishing the third master, no one will cheat on you.
This card game is very big, a card costs 5,000 yuan, and those who can sit here and play cards are naturally the old Jianghu in Meihai City.
Hook took advantage of Mr. Xing's good mood and leaned over with a smile, "Master, I..."
"No matter how big or small!" Mr. Xing snorted coldly, "Who is your master?"
Hook smiled awkwardly and quickly changed his words, "Third Master, I picked up a 90% new fruit machine here. Can you help me deliver the goods?"
After saying that, Hook placed the phone on the mahjong table.
Mr. Xing glanced at his phone and opened the drawer of the mahjong table in front of him. In addition to a stack of playing cards, there was also a pack of alcohol wipes.
Mr. Xing took out two alcohol wipes and wiped the phone once, then put the phone in the drawer through the wipes.
"Four thousand, just go to Huang Mao to get the money later." After speaking, Mr. Xing pointed to a door not far away. "It's a pity that we didn't finish our lunch just now. You go Eat and then clean up after me.”
"Thank you, Third Master!" Hook said happily, and then walked directly towards the door.
When Hook entered the hut, the fat man sitting opposite Mr. Xing asked, "Master Xing, are you too kind to this kid? Not only did you teach him all your skills, but you also sold him stolen goods without taking commission. Food, food and accommodation?”
Mr. Xing Sanye sneered, "This boy's hands look like he's for stealing doors. I've been washing my hands in a golden basin for so many years, and it's hard to find someone who can be made. I can't let my ancestors' craftsmanship be ruined in my hands, right?" "
"Bah!" Fatty scolded with a smile, "You old guy, you still pretend to be cool in front of us brothers? Everyone said that Hook is your old mistress."
"Fuck you!" Mr. Xing scolded, then he looked at the closed door of the hut, his smile faded, and he sighed: "This kid is very pitiful, his father is dead, his mother is paralyzed in bed, and he has two sisters. I have to take care of him. I don’t have a son yet, but when I saw this kid, I thought he looked like me, so I wanted to help him.”
"Then just give him the money!" The fat man said in confusion. Everyone on the road knew that Mr. Xing had many connections. He had grown bigger and bigger over the years, and his net worth was definitely not lower than that of the big bosses in the market.
"You know nothing!" Mr. Xing said impatiently, "This kid has the same temper as me. He is very stubborn. I definitely don't want to give him money directly. And I'm not a bullshit philanthropist, why should I give him money? It’s enough to teach him his skills and let him earn money based on his skills.”
"Hey?" Fatty smiled and looked at the brothers around him, "Everyone, tell me, what could this be if he wasn't his biological son?"
A group of people laughed loudly, but Mr. Xing didn't pay attention and motioned for everyone to continue playing cards.
I don’t know if it was because of my luck today, but Third Master Xing played the banker several times in a row. The fat man laughed and scolded him for helping his son to accumulate virtue. Third Master Xing did not refute this time. You have to be scolded when you win money, right?
While the cards were being shuffled, a woman's voice came from behind.
"Xing San'er, I asked you why there is a master suddenly in Meihai City. It turns out he is one of yours!"
Hearing this voice, Xing San'er felt a chill on his back, and laughed loudly before he could turn around.
"Hey hey hey!" Xing San'er turned around, and it turned out to be Lu Wan, "Lijun Lu? What kind of wind is blowing today to invite you here?"
This is Jianghu. On the road, everyone calls Xing Saner Sanye, but in Lu Wan's eyes, he is just a thief with a criminal record.
Upon hearing the word "land army", the fat man opposite him instantly turned pale, and sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
"Fat Wang is here too!" Lu Wan had already arrived at the mahjong table and looked at the other two people playing cards. They were both pickpockets that Lu Wan had caught back then.
"What?" Lu Wan's eyes swept across the four people's faces, "Sit together to discuss and prepare for a big deal?"
"No, no!" Xing San'er quickly stood up and pointed to the chair, "Lijun, please sit down, we are just sitting together playing cards."
As he spoke, Xing San'er glanced at the two men and one woman who came with Lu Wan. His eyes were very vicious, and he could tell that at least Teng Jie and Yang Lu were not policemen among the three.
Since no police were brought, it was definitely not a business matter, and Xing Saner breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Lu Wan didn't want to ask Xing San'er if he gambled. She asked, "Didn't you wash your hands in the golden basin? When did you accept an apprentice? Are you afraid that your unique hook knife skills will be lost?"
Everyone present was either a thief or had been a thief. After contacting the mobile phone that Hook had just brought, they instantly understood Lu Wan's purpose.
"How can that be impossible?"
Lu Wan smiled coldly, "Don't pretend to be confused here. I know you are very smart. Use your brain and think about it. If I can chase you here, I must be following that little boy."
For a moment, everyone except Xing San'er took a deep breath. It seemed that Hook was going to be finished this time.
