Chapter 5 Chapter Four

The bank informed that a sum of 7 million yuan was to be remitted.This is Mr. Duan's first repayment, and he didn't delay for a day.On the eighth day, all payments were remitted.Banks are more efficient than banks.Xiaoou was right in Kevin's next bet, she won an honest friend. And she didn't wait for Chen Xiaoxiao for eight days.In factories, companies, and homes, a thin woman can't wait to fight with three heads and six arms. Macau's "good wood" is not on her list of affairs.She assured Xiaoou repeatedly that she would come by plane the next day. Xiaoou visited Shi Qilan three times in eight days.The first time he cursed, the second, and the third time, he knelt down to Xiaoou and banged his head on the teak floor.The floor and forehead are in good condition, what a pity.Xiaoou was afraid of that old Shi who was pretending to be crazy, so he decided not to visit him. He looked for two recipes from the Internet every day, asked the servants to make them according to the recipes, and then asked Ah Zhuan to send them to Lao Shi.On this day, Ah Zhuan brought back the vegetables as they were.Lao Shi started to go on a hunger strike.

Xiaoou couldn't figure out why the old Shi, who was as quiet as a virgin many years ago, was now festering, chronic and exhausting.When she received the text message from Ah Zhuan's mobile phone, she was standing at the Macau customs gate to pick up a 15-member gambling group.There is usually a small customs clearance peak at the customs on Friday evening.Refugees who came from the mainland to the Macau border were also in turmoil and panic.They seem to be chasing flames of war or mountain torrents behind them, approaching and spreading rapidly towards them. If they don't rush out, they will die if they don't rush to a safe zone. Let the poverty behind you stay far away.Nothing can stop them, and their white-hot eyes tell you that they can become a mob at any time and trample any obstacle under their feet.Huge body odor enveloped the hall, hot body odor.The desire for wealth comes from a certain biological hormone, a hormone that makes beasts attack. With this hormone, ligers become ligers, and the strong become strong.

This crowd of tens of thousands of people was activated by the hormone of striving to become a strong man, and rolled into the old mother's pavilion, which became seductive in the night.How many of them will be reduced to Shi Qilan, living like a chronic fester? Xiaoou brought fifteen gamblers to the casino and asked them to entertain themselves.They are all middle-level cadres who don't make much money. They believe in "small gambling and fun", and they will not become gamblers.Maybe there will be a hero among the fifteen people, who will become Mei Xiaoou's frequent visitor in the future, playing with all his possessions.Those who do not have everyone will guard their belongings carefully.Therefore, this is a group of cautious gamblers, not to mention one-third of them are women.

She had to go and see the old history of hunger strikes.When she came to the door of the apartment, she saw a woman wandering on the stairs between the fifteenth and sixteenth floors. Her apartment was on the fifteenth floor.Lao Shi often comes to Macau, and he knows a few of the lower class and upper third class.This young woman is a mobile piece of decoration in the hotel lobby. She often stands or walks in the hall with her female counterparts, unable to hook up with men. When they are tired, they find a free chair or sofa and sit down, pretending to be on the phone. Send and receive text messages.Their mobile phones are all well-dressed like their own people, with exquisite pendants, like ring pendants, fake diamonds adorning the mobile phone case, and the mobile phone becomes jeweled for them.Xiaoou judged her as a girl in this profession not by her face, but by her posture, and her posture was full of loneliness.Girls like them are the loneliest people in the world, even if she is in a bustling hotel and casino lobby, even if you are standing next to her, it doesn't matter to her loneliness.She made Xiaoou think that the existence of all things in the yin world and the yang world may be limited by different chemical properties or physical densities, and they can only perceive each other but cannot communicate with each other.Xiaoou can imagine that even if such girls are picked up by a man and taken home or in a hotel room, their loneliness cannot be overcome.They gather here from all corners of the country, they have no home, and their solitude is their private space, and it is impossible for them to let you enter their solitude, where their last dignity is stored.

Xiaoou didn't know if the girl's appearance had anything to do with Shi Qilan.Lao Shi spends one-third of his time in Macau every year, and perhaps he has secretly grown dark roots in Macau.Maybe he called the girl for help?There is no phone in the room, and Xiaoou confiscated Lao Shi's cell phone.The residents of the apartment above see such girls as a public nuisance, and their presence will bring down housing prices.Therefore, it is impossible for her to wander around the building for a long time and accidentally discover that Lao Shi is imprisoned in Room 1508.Xiaoou took out the key to the door of the apartment and opened the lock.Xiaoou asked Xiaoou for a good price for this lock, so even the lock-picking company couldn't open it.After closing the door, she heard the girl's high-heeled shoes stepping through the door and going downstairs.

When he entered the living room, he saw Lao Shi with his legs crossed in lotus flowers, his eyelids slightly closed, and an eternal smile on his face.Do you want to pass away?Xiaoou went to each room to open the windows, she didn't want to release the solid Lao Shi, and after she went out, there was still a gas Lao Shi in her room.The smell of smoke, alcohol, meals and his hunger strike formed an old history that suffocated the nose and brain.Old Shi really became a fester that didn't heal, and Xiaoou felt the slightest pain.She came to the old history. "Old Shi, I told you to listen. The purpose of imprisoning you is not to punish you, but to return to Chen Xiaoxiao properly. If Chen Xiaoxiao came eight days ago, I would let you go out eight days ago."

Lao Shi's double lotus discs are round and full, which is hard for his forty-nine-year-old muscles and bones.He is so advanced now that he can't take Xiaoou's words.Xiaoou waited for a while with her forearm in her arms.He moved slightly, and several joints exploded with small whips. "Chen Xiaoxiao will arrive tomorrow morning on a Qantas flight." Lao Shi was very quiet just now, and these words made him even quieter. "Before your wife comes, it's up to you; whether to eat it or not; whether you want to wash it or change it, it's up to you." She didn't say anything about Chen Xiaoxiao being killed by your old Shi.She does not have the qualifications and obligations of a mother-in-law.She only had one sentence, and Lao Shi could hear it without saying it: Go back to Beijing to restore the factory, and pay back my money as soon as possible.

Xiaoou went into the bathroom.The edge of the toilet is full of dark yellow drips. You only find out its thickness after the human urine dries up, and some of them are directly turned into chemical fertilizers.Lao Shi is a respectable person, and this kind of behavior is nothing more than humiliating Xiaoou: if he is locked up as an animal, he will treat this place as a livestock pen.He also has a sense of men's awareness of women in doing this: it has an obscene meaning, and it is also a kind of possession and ravage.How does a male enclose his territory?Just circle like this. What a difference a man makes before and after he becomes a gambler.Xiaoou vigorously scrubbed the dark yellow spots with a toilet brush.They not only sting but sting, and her eyes squint in the invisible tear gas smoke.Pressing the flush cock, she listened to her humiliation rush forth.Perhaps Lao Shi also heard the rushing agitation in the hall outside the bathroom, and coughed.

Xiaoou came back to him.He was no longer the same as before: his limbs and body suddenly lost flexibility, his neck was especially stiff, and the two hands placed on the knees of the double-disc rosette seemed to be resisting an impulse... what impulse?The urge to scratch an itch.His beautiful hands, which can be used as ornamental objects, should be palms facing upwards. The thumb and middle finger are squeezed together in a virtual way, forming two orchids with the other fingers, but Xiaoou is afraid of these two hands at the moment. Look, at first glance, I wondered what they just did when they came back, and they were posing very hard and tired.

She said a few more words as needed.Please keep the windows closed.Never smoke inside the house, smoke on the balcony.Pay attention to hygiene when going to the toilet.Between the lines of every sentence, she heard a sound like a pot of gruel boiling, and she was about to gurgle.Lao Shi's stomach is not promising but he is very honest. When he is hungry, he is called hungry.He was so hungry that his stomach juice boiled, but Lao Shi was still hypocritical, putting on such a stately hunger strike posture.Xiaoou's disgust and anger towards him are gone, and she wants to laugh.Stories and characters turn from tragic to absurd.

Ah Zhuan sent a text message, saying that one of the fifteen gamblers had won 50,000 for 3,000!He is now entertaining these guests on her behalf.She walked into the former mother's bedroom and dialed Ah Zhuan.As soon as he dialed three numbers, the old cat called and thanked Xiaoou for giving him the food.It means that he saw that the bank account in the mobile phone received the money remitted from the black bank - Duan Zong's repayment.Duan is always a model gambler and a pioneer in repayment. Lao Mao and A Le warmly welcome Mr. Duan to come to Macau, the more the better.While answering the phone, Xiaoou wiped the cigarette ash out from the floor, and gradually wiped it to the door, and saw Shi Qilan's bare right thumb moving slightly, eavesdropping on the phone, using the thumb as an antenna. Ah Zhuan then reported the promising gambler in a text message on his mobile phone, saying that Xiaoou had to go and have a look.What if it is someone who can be developed and promoted!Xiaoou knows that all oriental men have a gambling nature, but if the gambling nature in the blood vessels is fermented and spreads to the whole body, one must have a discerning eye to recognize it.Mei Xiaoou understands that she has the foresight to recognize a gambler hidden deep in a respectable person.It was her ancestor, Mei Darong, who gave her these eyes. People who knew that their own blood had chronic illnesses had a kind of vigilance for fear of recurring chronic diseases. This is an intuition to prevent their own race from being infected and extinct. Xiaoou has a good eye for identifying promising gamblers. Xiaoou remembered this person, so he went up and gave him a surprise smile, congratulating him on his lucky smile.This person is surnamed Pang, forty-two years old, and the head of the propaganda department of the Municipal Party Committee of a provincial city.He has round eyes and a round nose. His body and head look like two people. His body is thin and his head and face are round. He shouldn't be able to do anything too cruel, but his bet is decisive. During the break, Xiaoou helped him cash out the chips he won.A total of eighty-three thousand.Minister Pang was as happy as a child, saying that he would buy a pair of good leather shoes for his wife tomorrow.The five female members of the gambling group all said that they would help him as a consultant.Xiaoou provoked him to buy a pair of shoes for his wife only once in Macau?What about jewelry?Women say that if they change themselves, they still need jewelry instead of shoes, how much is a pair of shoes?You won 83,000 to buy a pair of shoes? Then listen to everyone, when buying jewelry, Minister Pang has a good temper and a good smile. Apart from implementing the policies of the superiors and publicizing and reporting the achievements of the city, what is the big deal?But 83,000 Hong Kong dollars can't buy much wonderful jewelry, Xiaoou said.Let it be!The minister said, look at the Chinese people who are so rich that they not only have commercial housing to live in but also wear jewelry!In fact, his wife repeatedly asked him to buy a pair of good leather shoes, and the brand was written to him.Play two more games, get both jewelry and shoes!His companion coaxed him.Stop playing, stop playing... Walking past Xiaoou, Xiaoou handed him a business card.In that passing and receiving, the secret content breeds: come later.It is inconvenient to play in front of so many subordinates of the same organization.Be sure to come back again when you have time, the first time is raw and the second time is cooked.Business cards are the long lines to put out.There are gamblers of the nature that follow the long line back in the future.Minister Pang carefully looked at Xiaoou's business cards not far away. In fact, she gave everyone their business cards just after they left the customs, and it was only at this moment that he really saw the names on the business cards and registered them in his memory.He was aroused by the win just now to gamble, and now the words Mei Xiaoou are all alive. It was a relaxing evening, and after saying good night to fifteen people who had had a good time, she drove home by herself.Ah Zhuan was also very tired, she told him to take a taxi home.Ah Zhuan said that his coat was left in Xiaoou's apartment and he should take it back for his girlfriend to wash.Xiaoou told him not to save money for her, but to take a taxi. When I got home, my son didn't sleep.It is very rare for mother and child to reunite at this time, so she stopped talking about "playing too many game consoles" to spoil her son and herself.She felt hungry, so she took a pack of instant noodles and soaked them in a bowl in the kitchen.The son smelled the hypocrisy and immediately asked his mother to share half a bowl with him.The eleven-year-old child is a victim of this type of fast food. The taste of the industrialized recipe has cultivated his sense of taste in a simple and rough way. Everything that does not reach the artificial freshness and concentration is tasteless. She and her son warmly shared a pack of noodles worth 6 yuan and 80 cents.The son is flattered at being fouled by his mother—going to bed late and eating instant noodles is not allowed.This is worth it. If eating industrialized instant noodles can deepen the relationship between mother and child, then eat well.The eleven-year-old son's face turned from white to red. Lu Jintong's nose grew under Mei Xiaoou's eyes, and below that was Lu Jintong's sister's mouth. The slightly thin lips looked sensitive and bitter, and the curved lips were pulled in. The bitterness of Qu's instant noodles is obvious. Xiaoou said goodbye to his son at his bedside. There are only a handful of nights in a year to say good night to his son.A text message from Lao Mao appeared on the phone, asking her if she was free, and he invited her to have a midnight snack.The old cat misses her like a fresh fish and has always been greedy for her.A woman can't do without a few old cats in a place like Mage.She knows that it is impossible for her to be a fish without being fishy, ​​but the fishiness is a bit abstract, making the old cat greedy for her, like a human being greedy for some kind of beautiful and empty emotion, while greedy for her, warning other cats to her Stretch out your claws, that's smart.So she became witty and tenacious, and the way to deal with the old cat was to turn the old cat to deal with her.The old cat invited her to have a midnight snack, and she said that the toilet was smelly, so you can fix it for me first!If he said, fuck him, why are you so troublesome, woman?She will say, I have something to do with you after you fix the toilet for me.Her mischievousness, indecentness, or immaturity are beyond the psychological preparation of a man like Lao Mao, and every time she succeeds in missing the "strength" that happens to match between men and women.The old cat still didn't understand whether he and Xiaoou knew each other too well, or they were basically at a standoff. Lao Mao belongs to the kind of man who can kill for Xiaoou but can't be her friend. A call came in on the other line of the cell phone.When the excuse came up, Xiaoou bid farewell to the old cat without any explanation: Bye, go to bed early, don't go out to kill and rob!Xiaoou's sister-like jokes will make the unwilling Lao Mao comfortable, and her domineering tone makes Lao Mao feel that she and him are very close. The call was from Ah Zhuan, anxious and scared, Xiaoou could barely hear what he was calling.He was in the crowd outside, that's right, with electric horns yelling in the background. "...President Shi jumped off the stairs..." When Xiaoou heard it clearly, her heart suddenly swelled, filling her entire cavity. "President Shi jumped out from the balcony..." The sound of the electric horn overwhelmed Ah Zhuan.Xiaoou grabbed the clothes and put them on the nightgown.The mobile phone was forgotten, and a rapidly expanding crowd was making noise inside. Xiaoou ran out of the house with her mobile phone and into the garage.Shi Qilan instantly fulfilled himself and became Mei Darong.She didn't see that ambition when she saw him at night.The old history of meditation was clearly in her mind, and at the time she thought it was a funny show performed by him.She didn't feel her hands on the steering wheel halfway through. It would be foolish to rush to Lao Shi at this moment.The police opened a net to salvage those who forced Lao Shi to jump off the building.And it would be foolish to turn around and run away: what are you running from without guilt?There was a long line in front of his house to press for debts. He was so hard-pressed. He didn't delay in eating, sleeping or coming to Macau. He almost won a million dollars with the small money he earned from giving advice to the staff. Why did he suddenly stop? It's over, why don't you come to her Mei Xiaoou's territory to die? As soon as the car turned the intersection, I saw adults and children running towards the gate of the community.Xiaoou parked the car outside the gate of the community, the target can be smaller.Call Ah Zhuan, but Ah Zhuan won't answer.The sound of electric horns in the community began to have meaning to her.It was a human story in which the Macau police experienced too many extremes of joy and sorrow, and their shouting was very similar to commanding a crane on a construction site to move materials. "... half a meter to the right... a little higher..." It can only be the command to carry the corpse.Xiaoou stood at the gate of his apartment complex.The wind in the morning is very soft. "Okay, okay, grab..." the electric horn said. Suddenly a sharp melody came out, and it took three phrases to make Xiaoou recognize the ringtone of his cell phone.Ah Zhuan got up in a hurry and his voice was very high-pitched. He apologized that he didn't hear the ringtone of the mobile phone with a high-pitched voice. The scene was too noisy!She didn't say a word, listening to Ah Zhuan's attempt to overwhelm all the noise and tell her the whole story: Lao Shi fell from upstairs not because he wanted to die but because he was greedy for life. Fortunately, it was blocked by the flower shelf on the eighth floor. "Old Shi is still alive?" "It's still hanging on the shelf on the eighth floor!"
