Chapter 325: The Gambler's Boundary (First Update.) )
Early in the morning, I was woken up by the sound of the steamer's whistle, and the long whistle echoed on the surface of the Yangtze River, as if it could reach the distant and empty sky and wake up all things silent.
The white and gloomy sky makes people feel depressed, except for the river, the surrounding is barren, I don't know where the gambling boat is now, and I can't see a little city around.
Standing in front of the round window of the cabin and lighting a cigarette, it had been a long time since I had heard the whistle, and that dark time had to be baptized once a day, reminding me of the beginning of a hopeless day.
I always think about Kitsune, her life is not as good as it was before me, I can imagine how uncomfortable she is, if there is a chance, I have to take her out!
I'm not a hero, but I have principles and a conscience, and maybe I'd do the same if I were someone else, and I'm not used to seeing the dirty things in the world, and I'm not used to the despicable deeds of gambling boats.
I simply packed up my disguise and went out, and I didn't dare to take off my human skin mask at night, and no one knew when there would be an emergency, in case someone came to see me like this......
Early in the morning, the gambling hall is very quiet, there are many gamblers with red eyes to gamble here, most of the tables have been suspended, the dealer also needs to rest, only two tables are still going on.
After dawn is the craziest time for gamblers, winning or losing is about to have a conclusion, although the gambling boat continues to pay back every day, but people are not willing to wait for a second longer, this is the nature of gamblers.
In fact, when the gambler finally gives go, it is precisely the time when the dealer kills the chips the most, and there will be no water release during this time period, let alone a trace of mercy.
Looking around at Su Yurong's shadow, there was no room next to the gambling table, but there was a staggered place on the sofa in the rest area.
Walking over and seeing Su Yurong closing his eyes on the sofa, I don't know if he is asleep, I can't bear to wake him up for a while, few people who can spend the night in the rest area have won money......
There seems to be an invisible boundary in the gambling ship hall, with the heavenly world of drunken gold on one side and the desolate world behind the wandering wreckage on the other......
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 couch overnight, gambling distorts people's psychology and changes people's normal values.
Gambling is entertainment, it is a kind of stimulating consumption, and the most addictive thing is that it can give people a reward, and make people have the illusion that they can rely on this to make a fortune.
In the past, the second uncle said that most people want to make their lives better, and everyone is like being trapped in a besieged city, unable to find the direction to get out of their current life.
Some people can't find the direction to work hard, some people are too ambitious, and some are full of inertia and are unwilling to try any effort, but people will fantasize about a better life, and the emergence of gambling gives them a glimmer of hope.
You can have a lot of income every day without working or working hard, giving all people with poor self-control a breakthrough to get out of the siege, in fact, the hearts of the vast majority of gamblers are not bad, and they are also one of the many living beings.
As the old saying goes, the poor behave treacherously, and the rich grow their conscience.
When people are poor and forced to make a living, they will think about the means to make money, and they will choose to take risks, and only after they have money will they have a conscience, cherish their own lives, and cherish their own tomorrow.
I once tasted the taste of losing money, and I also tasted the taste of losing everything, as if the whole world had lost hope, blindly unable to find a direction for the future, and even did not know what to do next, and suffered from the desolation of my heart again and again.
Just like a small boat lost in the vast sea, it can't find its direction and can't find its belonging, maybe only when it loses all will it think of going ashore, and only when it loses to the point that it will be enlightened.
When people are completely cornered, they don't know if they can be forgiven by their families when they turn back......
"Early. Suddenly, he said something coldly behind him, and when he looked back, Su Yurong opened his eyes.
"Why did you sleep here?" I asked, without looking back, standing still and smoking a cigarette, the gambling hall full of cameras, everything exposed to the watchful eye of others.
"It's normal for gamblers to sleep here, and it's even more normal after losing. Su Yurong laughed at himself, it seemed that he had also been killed with all his chips.
"Slowly you will get used to it, if the gambling boat docks today, then we will get off the boat and call at that time. "With that, I walked to the table and tried 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 gambling boat hall was lively, the waiter began to clean up, and there was a special place to eat next to it, all meals were free, but if you want to eat a good point, you can order a la carte.
There are also some gamblers who bring their beauties in red dresses to eat together, and they look like big winners in life, which is very good to distinguish the difference between people and people.
No matter where the winner and the loser will be distinguished, different lives and different treatment only depend on whether there is money in the pocket, a pile of paper bills can change the mentality of the vast majority of people.
sat down and asked for a bowl of white porridge and a side dish, quietly looking at everything in front of him, waiting for the fox to appear.
I don't know how she is now, maybe she went to eat at the place where the gambling ship staff ate, maybe she would accompany the Hubei Yankees to eat here......
After a while, Su Yurong also came here, the same white porridge and a side dish, he was lucky among everyone, because he was not a real gambler, his life was still full of hope, and he still had tomorrow to look forward to.
After eating and was about to leave, suddenly I saw a few Hubei Yankees walking in, followed by a few beautiful women in red dresses, and when I looked closely, the fox was not among them, and she was the only one missing from everyone.
I don't know where she's gone now, but I really hope that the Hubei guy will have a beautiful woman by her side, so that I can have a chance to visit her so that I can meet her.
Stood up and hurriedly walked to the gambling ship hall, if I can see the fox Meizi, I must pay for her, at this moment I am afraid that she will be taken away by others, because the beauty in the red dress on the gambling ship has no right to choose gamblers.
In fact, there is no difference between the beauty in the red dress and the young lady on the gambling boat, many times there is no choice, and I even hope that the eldest aunt of the fox can come to see her, at least so that she can suffer a few days less.
Gambling people are very particular about luck, and it is even more taboo for women to come and see when their relatives come to see it, and it is easy to bring about bloody disasters in bloody battles, many people pay attention to this in the north, let alone in the south.
When I came to the gambling ship hall, I didn't see the fox, countless waiters in black shirts were cleaning up, and there was no one in the gambling boat hall only when eating, but there were still gamblers who were unwilling to leave.
All the gambling tables were suspended, and the few remaining gamblers sat in front of the empty gambling tables and secretly felt sad, and they were not even in the mood to eat......
During this short break and meal time, the entire gambling boat hall was cleaned up, the ventilator was turned on to maximum horsepower, and the cold air with the smell of river water was poured into the hall.
Looking at everything familiar in front of me, I used to do this, and I know that now the beauties in red dresses probably go to the lounge, and they have a special lounge.
It's too unusual to go to the beauties in red dresses now, they also have to rest, and the best time is after two o'clock in the afternoon, so I can only wait patiently.
Sitting at the table in the gambling ship hall near the lounge, I couldn't help but mutter to myself that I didn't see Kitsune until I saw her, as if she had disappeared out of thin air.
I don't know how long she's been like this, but I know that every day is a torment, just like I once did, and I must take her out if I can......
Time flies, at two o'clock in the afternoon, the gambling ship hall is lively, the gamblers who are resting in the private room have gotten up, all the beauties in red dresses have almost appeared, and many of them look haggard and know that they have been tossed at night.
But no matter how they are tossed, they still have to make money, just like people in all walks of life, when they never stop trying to make money, they are tireless and do not rest.
But the only thing that doesn't make enough money in this world is money, and the only thing that fills the dissatisfaction is the greedy heart......
The same place, different time and mentality, when I was trapped here, I never thought that one day I would be able to come back, I never thought that one day I would be able to stand here and watch everything here with cold eyes.
But the fox has never appeared, I don't know where she went, and I don't know if she was locked up alone somewhere, and my heart is getting more and more bottomless......
