   Chapter 171 Bottomless Pit (both ordered 3400 plus more)

The visitor is twenty-three or four-year-old, lean and lean, riding a used red Mustang 100 motorcycle, wearing a thick black leather jacket, with three or seven split ends, and his eyebrows are somewhat similar to Hu Chunlan. It was Hu Bin, the cousin of Uncle Lu Dong's house.

   Lu Dong asked with a smile, "Brother, where are you going?"

   "Wander around." Hu Bin's eyes fell on the phone that Lu Dong had just hung up: "Dongzi, a new phone, just bought it?"

   Lu Dong said: "This is not a big price cut by Telecom. I bought one and it is convenient to contact."

  Hu Bin asked with a smile, "What's your mobile phone number?"

   Lu Dong said the number, Hu Bin recited it twice, and then said: "Dongzi, I went out on the second day of junior high. I wasn't home, and I didn't see you and my aunt. My father and my mother, hey..."

   He patted the motorcycle handle: "I won't leave you and my aunt to eat at noon, I'll come back and talk about them."

   Lu Dong was very calm, and he said it nicely: "It's okay, we are relatives, broken bones and tendons."

  Hu Bin is also a talkative: "No matter what the older generation is like, don't affect the friendship between our brothers, we are also cousins."

   Lu Dong smiled: "We can't control the affairs of the older generation, and we can't control it, we're talking about ours."

  Hu Bin also laughed and asked, "Is this going to be a problem? It's okay, brother, take you to play? It's a new year, you have to find some entertainment, right?"

   Lu Dong understood what he was talking about, and waved his hand quickly: "Another day, I still have a lot of things at hand, so I have to go back."

  Hu Bin was a little disappointed: "What can happen."

   Lu Dong rode on Xiao Jialing and said, "Brother, there's something wrong." He persuaded: "It's cold, don't play around, go back early."

  Hu Bin shook his head: "Okay, let's do your job, I know your brother."

   After he finished speaking, he rode the Mustang 100 and left first.

   Lu Dong took a look, then rode the Jialing motorcycle and headed west, back to Lujia Village.

  There are some things that my father and mother can't handle, let alone my cousin.

  Hu Bin went to Zhanqian Street, turned into an alley, and after seven turns, he arrived at the gate of a large courtyard of a bungalow.

   Before entering the door, there were two dogs barking, one black-backed and one wolf-green barking in the iron cages on both sides of the gate, revealing sharp canine teeth in their mouths, which looked very scary.

   "Who?" The small window on the big iron door of the bungalow opened.

  Hu Bin came over every now and then and said, "Me!"

   The people inside saw it clearly, opened the door, and said with a smile, "Wenwu."

   This is Hu Bin's nickname.

   "Stone." Hu Bin pushed the cart into the door and asked, "Everyone is here?"

   stood at the door and looked left and right, the surroundings were quiet, and there was no abnormal situation. Stone closed the iron door and whistled at the two dogs, and Hei Bei and Lang Qing became quiet.

  He led the way to the main room in front of his head, and as he walked, he replied, "Everyone is here, it's just you."

   He opened the thick cloth curtain, and then pushed open the wooden door to enter the main room. The headlights were also on during the day. There were four people inside, three of whom were acquaintances of Hu Bin, and a middle-aged man who was quite unfamiliar and had never met before.

   The middle-aged man is not tall and looks unremarkable.

  Stone introduced: "Wenwu, this is Brother Ma, a prominent figure in the county town. Brother Ma, this is Hu Wenwu... Look at me, it's called Shunzui, this is Hu Bin, from Majia Village."

   The middle-aged man nodded slightly to Hu Bin, obviously not taking him to heart.

  Stone said again: "Brother Ma, Wenwu's cousin is Lu Kuisheng, and the university town is very famous."

   Hearing the surname Lu and the university town again, Brother Ma frowned: "This name is a bit strange."

  Hu Bin said with a smile: "This is a nickname. My old cousin is Lu Dong. I don't know who gave it the nickname when I was in school."

   Brother Ma nodded lightly: "Lu Dong, I know him and have seen him a few times."

  Hu Bin wondered: "Lu Dong is so powerful?"

Shitou nodded seriously: "I have a brother who does business in the university town, and he said that this is what Lu Dong is in the university town!" He gave a thumbs up and said, "It is said that the people over there gave him an outsider. No, it's called the leader of the Five Poison Sect! You should know it by hearing this name."

  Hu Bin knew that Lu Dong was not a good person when he was in school.

   The leader of the Five Poison Sect, if he hears this name, he will not do good deeds.

  Brother Ma was a little impatient: "Let's hurry up."

  Stone quickly pulled the words back: "Let's mahjong? Pai Gow? Or poker?"

   Everyone else gave Ma Brother face, and all looked at him.

   Brother Ma did his part: "There are many people, and the tractor is fast."

  Stone went to get poker: "Also."

   Among the other three people, a tall man asked, "Wenwu, have you brought enough money? We don't want to run away after playing for an hour, so why don't we break the stage!"

  Hu Bin took out a stack of money from his inner pocket, there were zeros and wholes, maybe several hundred.

He moved a chair and sat at the square table, and smashed the money directly on the table: "Did you see? I brought all the salary and bonuses from years ago! I won't leave if I don't clean your pants today! Today, I am Hu Bin. I want you to go home naked!"

  Stone brought a brand-new set of poker, and he did it very carefully. After disassembling it, let everyone check it next to him, and then began to shuffle the cards.

   Lighted the cigarette and threw the bottom money. Amidst the smoke, a group of people soon seemed happy like a fairy, and some widened their eyes with blue veins.

  Hu Bin was out of luck. He lost a few fights with Brother Ma. The money on hand quickly dropped by one third, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

   But he didn't have any intention of leaving, he was thinking about turning the book.

   The more people who lose, the less they want to leave.

The    card game lasted until after eight o'clock in the evening. Hu Bin walked out of the house empty-handed, put on his motorcycle and prepared to leave.

  Stone sent out: "Wenwu, why don't I lend you some."

  Hu Bin was moved, but still had some reason left, and said, "No, when I have money, I will turn over the book."

   He knew the true meaning of Shishi's so-called borrowing money. If you borrow money at a high interest rate, you can make profits.

   If you borrow money, you cannot borrow stones.

  It wasn't just him, there was another person who lost the light. He also went out of the house, put on a bicycle and left.

  The two went out the door, and the person pushing the bicycle said, "I'll go back to raise money, and continue tomorrow!"

  Stone said: "Okay! No problem."

  Hu Bin got on his bicycle and walked back. In the winter, there is basically no nightlife in the small county, and there is no one on the street at this point.

  I lost all my money today, what should I do if I have no money? How do you turn it over?

  Walking, Hu Bin passed by the telecommunications sales department, and suddenly thought of what happened during the day.

  Lu Dong even bought a mobile phone!

  …

   In the main room of the courtyard, there is only one person left, and Ma is collecting money, a huge pile of money.

  Stone came in from the door and complimented: "Brother Ma, your playing skills are amazing!"

   "Small meaning, it's not worth mentioning." Brother Ma put away the money and said, "It's all a little trouble, it's nothing. When you're free someday, I'll let you see what a big scene is."

  Stone asked, "Yang..."

  Brother Ma turned his head and looked over, Shitou gave himself a slap in the face: "Look at my broken mouth!"

   "Just understand." Brother Ma warned: "Stone, keep your mouth shut, don't let people sew with needles one day."

  Stone smiled: "Don't worry, Brother Ma, I won't leak any water."

  Brother Ma nodded, went out of the courtyard door, entered another spacious alley, got into a black Santana, turned on the gas and left.

  …

   On the road out of the county seat, Hu Bin found a store with a public phone and dialed the number he had written down before.

"Lu Dong, it's me, your brother!" Hu Bin said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'll ask you if you've gone back? Go back? Okay, do you have anything to do tomorrow? Why don't I go play with you? What? What are you doing tomorrow? No time..."

   Lujiacun brigade, faintly heard Lu Dong say Hu Bin's name, Hu Chunlan was worried and followed from the office.

   This nephew from her family is not a big troublemaker.

   Lu Dong saw Hu Chunlan and asked, "Brother, if you have something to say, just tell me, I'm here for a meeting."

   The other side seemed embarrassed to speak. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Lu Dong, is it inconvenient? First lend me 1,000 yuan to help the emergency, and I will pay you back in a week at most."

   "Are you going to play cards again?" Lu Dong immediately guessed: "It's a bottomless pit, how much money is not enough to fill it, you..."

   In fact, there are many people who play cards and tractors. For example, Uncle Seven is very proficient, but he is only purely playing poker and has nothing to do with gambling.

  According to Uncle Seven, the real winning of money is when playing cards with those traffickers.

  Hu Bin interrupted him: "Just this time, I'm not going to play."

  If it was really young Lu Dong, maybe he would still believe it. Lu Dong once opened a shop, and he had seen people on the street destroy their own house.

  This thing, it is difficult to quit, and according to my mother, Hu Bin has been playing for more than a year.

   lend him money, that is to fuel the flames.

Lu Dong is thick-skinned enough that the borrower is embarrassed to speak, but he is embarrassed to refuse: "Brother, see you too, I just bought a mobile phone, and I don't have any money at the moment. …”

   "I won't go there, I'll find you when I have time, okay, don't talk about it."

The voice of    fell, the phone beeped, and the other side hung up.

   Lu Dong turned to look at Hu Chunlan: "Cousin's phone."

Hu Chunlan had long given up hope: "Have you borrowed money?" She said something that Lu Dong didn't know: "Two years ago, he came to our house and said that the car was broken and needed to be overhauled, and the factory has not issued any money for the time being. For living expenses, I gave him a few hundred dollars to buy fertilizer, and later I found out that he was using it to play cards.

  Lu Dong put away the phone: "It doesn't matter if you have a few hundred dollars. If you need it for other purposes, we can help Nature, but this kind of thing..."

   Hu Chunlan was very helpless: "Your uncle's family property will have to be cleaned up sooner or later."

   Lu Dong: "How about I look for the police station, our town office, I know a few."

   "Don't!" Hu Chunlan reminded: "People must not resent us for the rest of their lives! Especially your aunt, her mouth is so powerful that you can't come to fight every day."

   She sighed: "Everyone has their own ambitions. We have persuaded them and said it, so what can we do? Your uncle and his wife can't handle it, so let's stop worrying about it."

   For the New Year's Eve, I take the gift back to my parents' house. My brother and sister-in-law don't take lunch with me. After each year, my heart will inevitably fade.

  Lu Dong nodded: "I see."

The   Tian Dabang incident made Lu Dong realize that sometimes his manpower is exhausted, and he is not the savior of the world.

Back in the brigade's office, Lu Dong and Li Jiazhu deliberately walked together and said, "Second Uncle Li, I bought a house in Wenyuan, a school, and wanted to simply decorate it, I don't know anyone else. , I had to come to you."

  Li Jiazhu asked: "When are you free, let's go and see."

   "Can you do it tomorrow?" Lu Dong suggested.

  Li Jiazhu nodded: "Okay. I'll go to the new store in the village tomorrow morning to have a look, and then I'll go to yours in the afternoon to measure it on the spot."
