Finally, Uncle Zhang believed me and played three games in a row. He beat the other three old men beyond recognition and left them with no money left.
The old man across from him stood up and said curiously, "That's not right, Old Zhang. Your way of playing cards is very different from before. Is this young man next to you giving you some advice?"
After he said this, the other two old men also looked at me suspiciously.
Uncle Zhang stood up and said calmly, "Am I that kind of person? Stop complaining about losing. If you have the guts, win it back!"
After saying that, he turned around and pulled me away, leaving the three old men still disheveled in the wind...
I followed Uncle Zhang out of the alley. He then laughed heartily and said to me, "This is the most satisfying win I've ever had playing mahjong with these guys... I never knew you were so good at mahjong, Xiaofei. If I take you with me every time I play mahjong, wouldn't I be rich?"
"This..." I was stunned. What the hell, I'm so poor myself, and you still treat me as a fortune-bringer?
Uncle Zhang counted the money in his hand, squinted his eyes and smiled, "I won nearly a thousand yuan... Come on, I'm in a good mood today. Xiaofei, I'll take you to eat delicious food!"
This is what I want to hear the most! I burst into tears!
So, Uncle Zhang took me to a nearby restaurant and ordered some beef, chicken legs, duck necks, and some beer. Uncle Zhang and I had a good meal and drank some beer. I heard that the meal cost us nearly 300 yuan...
During this time, Uncle Zhang asked me, "By the way, Xiaofei, I heard that the building you live in now was once the home of a wealthy family. But I don't know what happened, and no one has lived there for a long time. It's empty and eerie. Aren't you afraid of living there alone?"
I was drinking and choked, then shook my head with a wry smile. What a joke! This is Su Xiaoniu's hometown. She was a wealthy woman, and she'd told me all this before. But she hadn't told me why she died, and that this building was uninhabited.
At this time, Su Xiaoniu said quietly: "Do you want to know about me?"
I paused and thought, damn, your life experience is like a shocking secret. Of course I want to know, but are you willing to tell me?
Su Xiaoniu said in a playful tone: "Kowtow to me three times, and I will tell you."
"Yes, Miss Ghost!" I stuck a pair of chopsticks into the rice, clasped my hands together, and then knocked my forehead against the edge of the table three times. Not only Uncle Zhang, but many of the other guests nearby looked at me with amusement.
Su Xiaoniu burst into laughter, and her charming laughter, like a silver bell, immediately spread out, making my heart flutter. I said calmly, "Can you tell me now?"
However, Su Xiaoniu said blankly: "Tell you what? Did I promise you anything?"
"You silly girl, you're teasing me again!" I said angrily.
Su Xiaoniu said proudly: "I'm just teasing you, huh!"
I:"……"
It seems that knowing Su Xiaoniu's life experience is as difficult as an eternal mystery!
At this time, Grandpa Zhang received a phone call. I saw that his expression suddenly became trembling. I asked him in surprise what was wrong. Grandpa Zhang said excitedly: "My son just called me and said that they lost my precious granddaughter. It's really... really mad at me to death!"
I blurted out, "We should call the police right away for things like this, otherwise it will be too late."
Grandpa Zhang shook his head and said, "My granddaughter disappeared while on an expedition with her father. Even if we called the police, no one would dare to go to that place."
Adventure? Even if you call the police, no one dares to go?
What the hell, what kind of place is this that is so scary?
Curious, I was about to ask more questions when Mr. Zhang stood up, paid for the meal, and said, "I need to go home now and work out a solution with my son. If anything happens to my granddaughter, I'll die!"
"Uncle Zhang, please don't get excited!" I helped Uncle Zhang leave the restaurant and walked towards his home.
During this time, Su Xiaoniu asked me: "Are you going to get involved in this mess again?"
I scratched my head and said noncommittally, "Let's see first."
Uncle Zhang's family treated me well. I often visited their home, and they welcomed me. Uncle Zhang's granddaughter, who was still in high school, would cling to me whenever she saw me, calling me "brother" affectionately. I also developed feelings for her, though of course, they were just simple sibling feelings. Now that I heard she was missing, I was worried!
