Chapter 20: Handsome Zhai Da
Lu Benqing smacked the cigarette in his hand, inhaled the cigarette butt along with the sponge, and looked at the newcomer with a squint.
Three Japanese.
There were several tour guides or translators hanging around, chattering non-stop in bird language.
He didn't understand, but his mind automatically translated it into "Taijun! It's inside~"
Lu Benqing is very familiar with the dealer here, or rather, he has lost a lot of money here. Today, he was also greeted and told that a few foreigners were coming.
The meaning of informing them in advance is very clear, this is a game to make a killing, if the foreigners are interested in other card tables, don't refuse, everyone will make a killing together.
Lu Benqing thought it was a foreign devil, but he didn't expect it to be a small day...
Seeing that nodding and groveling look is really annoying...
But he was just a gambler who had squandered all his savings, borrowed money from relatives, and even had to squeeze blood from his daughter. So he had no national hatred or family feuds, and he only thought about whether he could win a little from the Japanese.
As for whether the Japanese can be ripped off here and whether they have been ripped off before, to be honest, a gambler would not think about this question.
They did not lose to the dealer, but lost to their own addiction and the fantasy of making a profit.
"Old Lu, this is such a shabby place, and there are still foreigners coming to play?"
Lu Benqing stepped on the cigarette butt and said, "I'm not familiar with the place, so I was brought here because I felt like eating something. When people are hungry, they will even eat shit."
The man who was asking the question shrank his neck, thinking to himself, "That's you. We are not that cruel..."
Several Japanese were brought into the house, obviously they were playing alone. A long-term gambler like Lu Benqing, who came with a few hundred dollars, was simply there to create atmosphere.
The same principle as the nightclub girl.
"Don't worry about anything else, just deal the cards! I'm really lucky today!"
This smoky and foul place returned to its normal state.
A group of people were inside, lost and unable to get out.
Until the light of righteousness, holding the rod of righteousness, broke in.
"Don't move! Get down on your knees with your hands behind your head!"
"Get down, get down!"
The police quickly controlled the situation, and a few people who tried to run were knocked down with one kick.
The three Japanese were so panicked that they were about to burst into tears, mumbling in Japanese, and were eventually pinned to the ground.
In fact, Zhai Da still underestimated the governance efforts of the bulk province in 2008.
Admittedly, it is not 24 years now, and he always feels that the atmosphere is not that good yet.
But if there was no cause in 2008, how could there be the result in 2024?
At least in bulk, some things are being seriously managed.

Zhai Da waited for another ten minutes before seeing a series of people being escorted out.
I took out my fake phone and took a blurry photo from a distance as a record. All my tasks for today were completed.
The reason why he kissed
He wanted to see the result firsthand, just to guard against the kind of "tipping off" and "collusion between black and white" seen in TV dramas. If everything was calm here tonight, or if a lot of police came but didn't catch anyone, he would never let Wu Yue go to the police station to collect the reward.
Wu Yue’s life is also a life.
Lu Wei also recognized her father Lu Benqing from them, and it was unknown what he was thinking in his big, emotionless eyes.
When everything was calm and the streets were silent again, Zhai Da and Lu Wei walked out of the darkness.
Zhai Da clapped his hands and said, "It's done. Now we just have to wait for the reward. I'll take care of it myself. I'll find a way to give you your share later."
Lu Wei still insisted on her decision and shook her head and said, "I don't want any money, I'll give it all to you."
"No, you have to."
He felt uneasy because Lu Wei didn't share the money.
After all, it was sent to his father.
If you eat Tang Monk's flesh, it would be best to eat it at the same table with Monkey King.
The tall and thin girl stopped talking, but she didn't seem to be willing to accept it.
Zhai Da looked around and saw that there had been no car in this place for ten minutes. If they wanted to take a taxi, they would have to walk a distance first. So he took Lu Wei and walked towards Sanmao's side door.
The two people were one in front and one behind, one fast and one slow.
Zhai Da was silently thinking about what to do next, while Lu Wei was observing the shadows under her feet.
Rows of street lights cast a narrow light, and the shadow under my body is constantly chased by footsteps, and then left behind by footsteps.
Street lights are like this. They cannot dispel the darkness, but only support the interweaving of light and shadow, so that people have the illusion that it is not at night.
But there are endless night roads in this world, but there is no one who can walk the same road forever. At a certain intersection, Zhai Da stopped.
Waiting for a taxi to appear and take Lu Wei away.
It was almost eleven o'clock, and it was obviously unreasonable to ask the other party to walk back.
It's impossible to deliver it, Ms. Yu is waiting at home.
Lu Wei looked at Zhai Da looking around, as if anxiously searching for a taxi, and suddenly said, "How about we go two more blocks?"
Zhai Da shook his head: "That's it, there are too many cars."
Lu Wei stopped talking.
She suddenly realized that after tonight, some powerful connection between her and Zhai Da seemed to have ended.
Just like two years ago...
And then what? Sharing the money? Saying hello when you meet on the street?
Lu Wei's slender hands were behind her back, caressing the Snickers bar, which had been soaked with warmth from the night before...
Slightly melted.
"Stop~"
A taxi stopped in front of them.
However, Zhai Da did not let Lu Wei get in the car directly, but tried to bargain through the passenger window.
In small places, taking a taxi at midnight is all about price quotes instead of meter. In addition, Lu Wei went back alone, so she had to look at the
Driver's face.
You have to look for middle-aged men with heavy faces and serious expressions.
He is definitely a henpecked husband with children and a cat lover. If he is bald, it would be a bonus and would be safer.
The final price was 20. After all, Zhai Da was not as skilled as Ms. Yu and was not familiar with the road conditions. He paid the fare in advance, took a photo of the license plate, and asked Lu Wei to get in the car quickly because he was anxious to go home.
Lu Wei was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "Thank you. I'll pay you the fare next time."
Zhai Da waved his hand: "No need."
Lu Wei sat in the back seat, closed the car door, and began to daydream.
The attempt to establish a small connection seems to have failed...
twice.
Until there was a knock on her car window.
Rolling down the car window, Zhai Da handed over an old mobile phone with a charging cable wrapped around it.
"I almost forgot about this. I've already saved my number in there. The phone card has no monthly fee, so the phone bill will be more expensive. You can go to the business office to change it when you have time."
Lu Wei took the Nokia 3310 blankly.
Zhai Da made a phone gesture and said, "You've arrived home safely. Remember to send me a message to report. If you need anything in the future, just call me."
Finally, he added: "Remember to eat well, my hands are hurting from holding you today!"
Without waiting for Lu Wei's reply, Zhai Da patted the car door and asked the driver to set off.
The taxi had already lost its patience and started moving quickly, while the young man also ran in the opposite direction.
If it’s any later, Ms. Yu will get angry!
Lu Wei sat in the car, holding a Snickers in one hand and a Nokia in the other.
Try to open the phone and open the address book...
It's not that she never used a cell phone, she just didn't use it anymore for some reason.
There is only one contact in the address book.
The saved name is:
Handsome Zhai.
"Zhai Da... handsome Zhai..."
The delicate corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up into a light arc.
This was probably the first time I was amused by someone’s humor. For a moment, the taxi was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
The driver glanced through the rearview mirror and thought, what a beautiful girl...
Unfortunately, someone can't see this face.
————
Zhai Da returned home excitedly. Ms. Yu was already applying cucumber to her face. It was inconvenient for her to talk, so she didn't blame him for coming home late.
After taking a shower and lying back on the bed, Zhai Da's cell phone rang.
A text message from: "Malnutrition".
"I'm home now."
"Got it, go to bed early."
"Good night, handsome boy."
"Good night, discerning girl."
