When I came downstairs, I saw a little boy of twelve or thirteen years old sitting on the bed. He was not sleeping yet and was watching "ghost movies".

Seeing me walking over, he greeted me: "Brother, have you been 'beaten'?"

I shook my head. When he saw me shaking my head, he asked curiously: "If you haven't been 'beaten', then what are you doing here?"

I said, "Why do you have to come down after being 'beaten'?" He looked at me and then said, "Come and watch the video."

I was also tired, and I didn’t care that the bed was dirty. I took off my shoes and sat on the bed, put a pillow behind my back, and lay against the wall to watch the video.

I asked him: "What's your name?"

He said: "Brother, you don't understand the 'rules'."

I saw that he was a little interested when he said this, so I asked: "What other rules are there? Can't I ask my name?"

He said tactfully: "Yes. You are not allowed to ask other people's names in the casino, nor where they are from. Everyone gambles, so you know how to tell this, but it is still a bit illegal."

I said "Oh" and asked again: "Is this your home?"

He said: "No."

I feel a little strange, he is so young and this is not his home, so what is he doing here?

I said: "Little brother, this is not your home, so what are you doing here?"

He said: "Play here."

I asked again: "It's so late, and if you don't go back, your parents won't look for you?"

He said: "They are not at home. I am alone at home."

I said: "Alone? Where are my grandparents?"

He said: "They are no longer alive. My parents divorced a long time ago. My mother left with someone else and my father went to work in Jiangxi."

Another unfortunate child. I said, "Are you studying?"

He said: "Do you think I am very small?"

I nodded.

He said: "I am almost fourteen years old and have graduated from junior high school." After that, he asked me again: "I haven't seen you before? You must be the new one today, right?"

I said: "Well, you mean you are here often."

He said: "Let me tell you the truth. The 'bobo'er' guy is also from our village. His family used to be very poor, and he was a 'second-rate kid' on the street. I don't know how he got around later.

I heard that I went to the county town to hang out with a man named "Five Masters", and became a "Knocking Bobo'er". I used to hang out outside, but now I come back to do this. I can't play alone, so I

I followed them here to play."

I said, "He did it all by himself?"

He said: "No. There are many people. Some are responsible for looking out, some are responsible for making appointments, some are responsible for beating people, some are responsible for treating guests, some are responsible for 'breaking up troubles', and some are responsible for 'letting go'..."

Listening to what he said, I found that this "opening" was quite complicated, and there were really many people involved. Just now, I thought it was just a simple relationship between gamblers and "bobo children", but I didn't expect this behind the scenes.

There are so many characters.

Seeing that I was silent, the little boy said again: "You'd better not gamble?"

I asked him: "Why?"

He said: "Everyone who gambles has a bad end. I have seen it a lot during this time. No matter you are male or female, old or young, you are all the same. When you win money, you will jump for joy and spend money lavishly."

When losing money, you are worse than a dog, especially those who borrowed 'water money'. If they cannot pay back, the consequences will be serious."

I said, "You already know it's illegal, so why are you still here?"

He said: "You don't know. The food and drink here are good, and they are happy. Even if someone wins a lot of money, they will give a reward. Sometimes I will get a hundred or two hundred."

I said: "You just eat and drink here and wait until someone rewards you."

He smiled and said, "That's right."

I said: "They let you eat and drink for free?"

He said: "No, sometimes I have to boil some water for them, help make instant noodles, or help with killing pigs. Even if I do these things and don't participate in gambling, this shouldn't be illegal, right?"

I said: "It probably doesn't count."

I asked him jokingly: "Have you seen the 'crooked video'?"

He said, "I've seen it. There are so many. Do you want to see them?"

After saying that, he jumped out of bed and took a handful of CDs from the drawer of the TV cabinet. He said, "What kind of movies do you like to watch? Hong Kong, Japanese, Korean and European and American, there is everything."

I said, "Forget it. Just take your time and watch." I thought to myself, this guy has been hanging around here since he was young, and I don't know what he will become in the future.

Seeing that I wasn't interested, he put it back.

I asked him: "When does it usually end?"

He said: "It depends on the situation. Generally speaking, 'losers don't speak, and winners dare not leave.' That is, as long as they don't lose all their money, they won't leave. Anyway, if you are hungry, someone will prepare something delicious. There are also cigarettes and cigarettes sold at the venue.

Instant noodles and fried potatoes.”

I said: "What if you can't lose even 'three days and three nights'?"

He said: "That's impossible. Generally, after working until two or three o'clock in the evening, the loss is almost over. Sometimes if someone who has 'lost' has gone to 'get some water', the police will come and arrest him and it will end early. Everyone will run away. But.

Those who are 'knocked out' will definitely be killed if they know it's the one who gets the water."

I asked: "It's so scary. Can you run away?"

He said: "I won't run away, I just need to pull up the quilt, cover my head and fall asleep."

Seeing that he knew more, I wanted to continue asking him. But suddenly I heard the sound of people descending from the stairs.

He said: "It should be 'dismissed'. It's a little early today."

Sure enough, Jiang Zheng had already walked over and said, "Let's go."

After leaving the door, I asked, "Did you win?"

He said: "Did you lose?"

I said: "It's a pity, it costs so much."

He said: "It's okay, I will receive it tomorrow."

Seeing him losing so much money and still looking indifferent, I suddenly felt that Jiang Zheng was a bit strange. I didn't know that I would have such an idea.
