In summer, the day is long and the night is short. The sky is early, and the dim street lights on the street are quickly taken away by the dark sky light. The originally not much light is lost. On the street, aimless Tan Xuan saw that the sun was already exposed in the horizon and turned the front of the car directly. Go home as early as possible, otherwise the whole city will wake up completely and it will be difficult to go home. Time can be spent on the road, but it should not be wasted in traffic jams. This is also one of the reasons why Tan Xuan doesn't like taking orders during the day.

Those who go to bed late may not be the hard-working people, but most of those who get up early are hard-working people. When Tan Xuan returned to the neighborhood, the breakfast pavers on the street had already set up tables and chairs early.

"Xiao Tan is back, or is it the same?"

The owner of the breakfast stall greeted Tan Xuan enthusiastically.

"Absolutely, Uncle Wang, it's still the same." Tan Xuan responded politely.

As soon as Tan Xuan sat down, he brought the food there, a bowl of original sugar-free soy milk, two fried dough sticks, two tea eggs, and a plate of pickled vegetables with a few drops of chili oil. Tan Xuan has been here for two years and has long become an old customer here. Moreover, the boss has long been familiar with the things he can't beat every day.

"If you don't have enough soy milk, you will put it yourself."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang."

It can be seen from the things brought up that Tan Xuan is attracted by people. Whether it is fried dough sticks or eggs, they are all grown by others. Even the bowl of soy milk is full of things, and a lot of them can be sprinkled out if you are not careful.

"Old Wang, give me two oil cakes, a bowl of tofu brain, add more braised rice and less coriander."

A middle-aged man in his thirties walked over from the street, holding a leather bag under his armpit, and greeted him at the stall and sat beside Tan Xuan carelessly.

"Tanzi, have you collected the car?" The middle-aged man was not at all. He said hello and picked up the tea egg in front of Tan Xuan and peeled it and bit off more than half of it.

"Well, I just came back." Tan Xuan and the man nodded, without any intention of stopping him. The person next to him was Qian Bo, who must be all night on weekends, and had roughly the same working hours as Tan Xuan, who was also hiding out at night on day, so he had met many times, and occasionally took care of Tan Xuan's business several times, so he naturally became familiar with him.

Qian Bo is a famous gambling nearby. He has poor skills but good gambling products. He loses nine out of ten gambling but never complains, and does not owe any debts. He is recognized as the most popular boy in the surrounding Q card room. The nearby gamblers are even more close to him than to see his parents. They want to play with him every weekend. If it weren't for his job that was rich, he would have lost all his money.

Seeing that he looked greasy, as if he hadn't been asleep all night, there was a strong smell of smoke on his body. The smell of mixed with a variety of tobacco really made Tan Xuan not compliment him. He frowned and asked, "Why, are you going out to play cards again?"

Qian Bo stuffed the remaining eggs into his mouth, choked hard, and said vaguely: "Well, after playing for a few rounds, I forgot the time when I was playing. If I hadn't lost alone, I could still play."

"It seems you won?" Tan Xiao said politely with a smile.

"It's a must." The man said with joy. Of course, even if he didn't answer, as long as he didn't blind, he could tell that he should have gained a lot last night because he had written on his face. He was not in his current state.

The man was in a good mood and shouted to the boss of the stall, "Old Wang, get half a pound of buns and beef for Tanzi, and I will all settle the money together."

"No, Brother Qian." Tan Xuan hurriedly refused, "I'm full, it's time to go back and rest. You can eat slowly by yourself."

The man stopped Tan Xuan, frowned, and said, "Wait a minute, why are you in a hurry? I can't eat and take it back to eat. I have something to say to you."

"What are you doing?" Tan Xuan pushed Qian Bo's hand away and asked. He was still familiar, but he was not as mature as he was so tugging.

"Don't run the order tonight, send me out." Qian Bo whispered, mysterious, as if he was afraid of being heard by others. But there were not many people who came out to buy breakfast at this time, and his actions were purely unnecessary.

Tan Xuan didn't say anything, just looked at Qian Bo and waited for him to make it clear before he decided whether he would agree or not. He was a good citizen and never participated in inappropriate things.

Qian Bo understood Tan Xuan's meaning and explained with a smile: "Didn't you meet a friend last night? I saw that I didn't have fun last night and wanted to take me to play somewhere else. You also know that brother, I am a shameless person and can't lose face. Then you will say that you are my driver. Don't worry, brother, can't let you work in vain. One gets you a day, which is just a few hours. You don't have to work hard. I'll give you three hundred."

Tan Xuan nodded, "Okay, just call me before you go out. But the ugly words are ahead, Brother Qian, don't mess up some messy people, otherwise you won't let me do it."

Qian Bo was also tactful and knew what Tan Xuan meant, and replied: "There is no one else, I am just myself. Isn't this just afraid of being looked down upon in front of others? If it weren't for your sister-in-law not letting me play cards, I would have asked your sister-in-law to send me there."

"Haha..." Tan Xuan smiled perfunctorily, as if he agreed. He did not support or object to such situations. He had to enforce the law to take care of illegal matters. He just made some money and didn't cause trouble. Besides, if he didn't pull him, he would find someone else. Who would be willing to send the fat that was sent to his mouth?

After confirming the time again, Tan Xuan drove home. He didn't use money to treat him, nor did he take his half pound of beef buns, one code is one code, and he can take care of his business occasionally, and he can take care of his business more than anything else.

The community where Tan Xuan lives has been around for some years, at least not much younger than Tan Xuan, but it does not seem old or dilapidated at all. The quiet and leisurely environment is incomparable to the new community. After all, this was the family building of a certain government agency. Now there are some leaders who have used to living here. The supporting facilities of the community are quite mature, and the market, schools, and hospitals are not far away.

Tan Xuan lives in a three-bedroom and one living room house in a building near the community. The house was not rented, but bought by him. He lived here not because he had a deep background or a prominent family background worthy of others' attention. It was just because the last mistress of the house committed suicide in the house, so this "haunted house" in the eyes of others was cheaper. Not only was the transaction price of the house very down-to-earth, but the furniture in the house was left for free for Tan Xuan, and it was also given a garage on the first floor for free. In order to prevent Tan Xuan from remorse, he quickly transferred the property. So Tan Xuan moved in with his bag. The decoration of the house was not outdated at all, and the furniture was also high-end. In addition to simply replacing some things and adding some personal supplies, the place also maintained the appearance of the purchase.

Tan Xuan returned home and washed up, sat quietly in the study room for a while, and then went into the bedroom to rest. One south and one north, two bedrooms opposite the door, Tan Xuan lived in the north, not because the mistress here had drank sleeping pills in the master bedroom on the south side, but he didn't like the sunlight was too dazzling when he was resting, so he had to rest well. As for the "haunted house" that others kept saying, Tan Xuan didn't care at all. The house was bought by himself, and in his name, those who lived here before had to move away, no matter whether they were humans or ghosts, there was no difference. Only when the neighbors first moved in, they always looked at him with some sense of watching the show, but the good show never happened. Over time, he got used to it and the neighbors got used to it.

It was already afternoon when he woke up. Tan Xuan went to the market to buy some vegetables and made a meal by himself, one meat and one vegetable, which was not bad. With rice, it can not only be eaten well and also eat full. Although Tan Xuan is only in his early twenties, he is still young for twenty years. Because the master who was called Mr. Guan who was raised by him was okay to deceive people, but he has never been able to deceive his stomach. He can roast sweet potatoes like charcoal, and he can cook dumplings and can't recognize his relatives, so he really has no idea how to get down. So Tan Xuan, who just knew something, was entrusted by his master with an important task.

Have you ever seen someone who cooks on the stove? Tan Xuan has never seen him because he is the one who has been standing on the stove since he was a child. Over the years, he has developed a good cooking skills.

As soon as the sky was getting dark, Qian Bo couldn't bear to call Tan Xuan and urge him to set off. After all, he was his own customer, so Tan Xuan was also very obedient. When Tan Xuan drove downstairs to Qian Bo's house, Qian Bo was already waiting there, and was dressed neatly, holding a leather bag as if he was going to work.

According to Qian Bo's location, I was going to an apartment called "Shuya" which was not close to their community. It was located in a dilapidated shantytown area that could be relocated in unknown years. There were no buildings more than six floors nearby, and there were many illegal bungalows. All the buildings were very old. They drove here and walked around like a maze. Even with navigation, it was difficult to find.

Finally arrived at the place, Qian Bo's friend had not arrived yet because they agreed to be nine o'clock in the evening, and it was just past eight o'clock. There were many nearby people on the roadside who came out for a walk after dinner.

Qian Bo asked Tan Xuan to park his car into a pile of cars on the side of the road opposite the "Shuya" apartment. After all, what he did is not a good thing and he should not be too blatant. After the engine was turned off, the two people sat quietly in the car, with the front of the car facing the wall, and a small crack fell on the window. In addition, the light nearby was poor, and no one noticed them even if someone or car passed by on the road from time to time.

Waiting was painful. Qian Bo sat in the back row and watched the car through the window from time to time, like a young wife who was looking forward to going home for a while. At first, she sat straight and dignified. Slowly, the sitting posture was no longer important, and she became half-reliant. The expression on her face also changed from expectation to be anxious. Many people entered the apartment one after another, but they were not seeing the one he was waiting for. It was not until nearly nine o'clock that someone came from the corner of the street that a joyful expression appeared on Qian Bo's face, and then he quickly sat up straight.

Under the not-so-bright street light, the man walked a bit strange. His body seemed to be a little hunched, leaned forward, his shoulders were high and low, and his walking speed was not fast, and his steps were staggering.

Qian Bo couldn't help but say excitedly: "Tanzi, my friend is here, I'll get out of the car first. You rest in the car, and if you are sleepy, you'll sleep for a while. I'll call you again after coming out."

When he heard Qian Bo say that his friend was coming, Tan Xuan stretched his waist and waited for a while, and he almost fell asleep. Tan Xuan turned his head and looked at the person who was getting closer and closer through the rearview mirror. His eyes suddenly sterned, then he turned around and looked at the person carefully, reached out to hold Qian Bo who was about to push the door and get out of the car, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Qian, how did you know this friend?"

"Didn't you tell me in the morning? I met each other last night." Qian Bo didn't know why Tan Xuan asked this extra and answered truthfully.

Tan Xuan glanced at the man getting closer and closer again, and could already see the man's general appearance, but Tan Xuan's eyes fell more on the man's shoulders.

Tan Xuan frowned slightly, looked at Qian Bo and said, "Brother Qian, you have only known each other for a day. You are here with him who is ignorant of the truth. There are many bad people in society now, so don't let someone get cheated."

Qian Bo heard that Tan Xuan was worried about this, and smiled and patted Tan Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Hehe, no, Lao Sun is not that kind of person. This person can be seen from gambling products. After a few rounds of mahjong yesterday, I knew that his character would not be bad."

"I tell you, my friend is extraordinary. I was the one who killed everyone after listening to his guidance last night. He is not only my friend, but also my lucky star."

Seeing Qian Bo's expression full of smugness when he spoke, Tan Xuan still advised him kindly: "No good or bad people are written on his face. Brother Qian, nine out of ten gambling are cheating. I advise you to go back. Small gambling is good, big gambling is harmful to your body. If you really get the bad guy's words, it will be too late."

Qian Bo looked at Tan Xuan with a serious face and shook his head with a smile, "Hehe, thank you, brother. But your worries won't appear. Brother Qian, I'm not a child anymore. I dare not say anything else in my work years. I still have some insights on people. I can tell whether it's good or bad."

Looking at Tan Xuan's worried look, probably because he was afraid that Tan Xuan's kindness would be cool. Qian Bo then asked for help and said, "Brother, don't worry, if there is really something wrong, I will get out in advance. Besides, I'm not alone, and you are still here to help? If you are not at ease, you will be able to transfer the car in a while, so it's convenient for us to leave."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man had already walked to the car. Qian Bo did not give Tan Xuan any chance to persuade him and pushed the door and got out of the car. He walked to his friend who had "stop seeing the same thing" in three steps. After a brief greeting, the two walked into the apartment hand in hand. Qian Bo did not mean to introduce the man to Tan Xuan at all. I don't know if it was because he was rushing to the battlefield or he thought it was not necessary.

"You can see people, but do you see people who are not human?" Looking at Qian Bo and the man walking into the door of the apartment, Tan Xuan sighed helplessly. It was hard to persuade the damn ghosts. A few of the deceived people were fools, most of whom were fools, most of whom were thought to be very smart. Otherwise, there were not so many fools for scammers to play with in today's world. Qian Bo was determined to go, and it was not something that Tan Xuan could persuade them in a few words, let alone another person who was obsessed with ghosts.

That's right, the reason why Tan Xuan suddenly persuaded Qian Bo to go back abnormally was because he found that Qian Bo's card friend was not from alone. The man rode a veritable gambling man on his shoulder. The man walked in a weird way and was suppressed by the gambling man. Others couldn't see it, but Tan Xuan could see it clearly. His greedy face was extremely real in Tan Xuan's eyes.

Qian Bo wanted to go, but Tan Xuan couldn't stop him. Tan Xuan knew that if he told him bluntly, Qian Bo would not only not believe him, but also regarded himself as a mental illness. Now Tan Xuan is not sure what the other party called Qian Bo here for. If it was just to make him lose money, it would not be so troublesome. The gambling ghosts can make people lose money, and it is too many and easy to do. A gambling ghost is not a gambling ghost. If it is not just for money but also for life, or the purpose is even more poisonous, it will cause Qian Bo's family to be destroyed, then Tan Xuan can't continue to pretend to ignore it. Even if he has already come out of the good man's bureau, he cannot ignore the safety of his neighbors and customers. But now the other party has not harmed anyone, so he can only wait. After all, people cannot catch them if they don't break the law, and they cannot kill them if they don't hurt people. He cannot say it if they say it. If they don't hurt people, they cannot say it if they say it. Each line has its own trajectory, and they must be famous.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the night became deeper and deeper. The dirty streets outside the car gradually became quiet. The pedestrians on the road returned to their own destinations. Tan Xuan turned the front of the car outside, which was not only conducive to running away, but also conducive to him observing the nearby situation. He could see it as soon as someone came out of the apartment. Unfortunately, he had been watching for a long time and there was no one to go in and out of the apartment. Although the lights were still on at the door of the apartment, it was the quietest place on this broken street.

Tan Xuan sat in the car and kept shaping the sandalwood beads hanging around his neck. From time to time, he glanced at the door of the apartment not far away. He guessed in his heart whether Qian Bo would lose and ran out with his butt or someone would be forced to sign an IOU. He also imagined how he should appear, how to act bravely, and even thought that if the other party had more people, he would ask for help, or if he really couldn't do it, he would just call the police and make a desperate attempt. Tan Xuan was not afraid of ghosts, but was afraid that there were too many people on the other party.

Tan Xuan was very prepared, but unfortunately, everything was in vain. The plot did not develop as he thought. At nearly eleven o'clock in the evening, the originally deserted apartment suddenly became lively. Along with a burst of noisy jokes, a group of people walked out of the door of the apartment one after another, some cursing and some smiling happily.

Tan Bo and his friend were also mixed in the crowd. Seeing Qian Bo's expression, he was the one who smiled the brightest among the crowd. He was holding his "fatty" leather bag in his hand, just like he had just attended a celebration party. As for Qian Bo's friend, there was not too much smile on his face, or he had no expression, and he was not as rich as the one on his shoulders. He just occasionally echoed Qian Bo.

After everyone came out, they left everywhere. There was nothing to be left for nostalgia here. Qian Bo and his friend also waved their hands to part. At this time, Tan Xuan understood why Qian Bo asked him to drive him, because as soon as those people left, more than half of the cars parked on the road nearby were less, and not only in front of them, but also cars left one after another in the nearby alleys.

Qian Bo's smile on his face did not disappear, and he looked at Tan Xuan even more proudly than he had just smiled, showing off: "Old Sun is worthy of being my lucky star, and today I made me show off all the attention. Tan Zi, you didn't see the scene just now, and you didn't see how powerful your brother Qian was at that time. Tsk tsk, that's really your loss..."

Looking at Qian Bo who was smiling and talking incoherently, Tan Xuan was a little confused and asked, "Did you win?"

Qian Bo glared at Tan Xuan with dissatisfaction, "You're asking this, extra!"

Qian Bo patted the bag in his hand and continued to say with a gaze: "I have never lost tonight, and my luck is so smooth. No matter what I play, I will kill all the people. I saw it. If it weren't for the time limit here, my brother would have won back all my losses for so many years. Good guy, I can't even put it on. It seems that I will change a big bag tomorrow."

Looking at the "full" leather bag, Tan Xuan was even more confused. This was too far from what he imagined. It shouldn't be. With that kind of thing, how could Qian Bo win? I haven't heard that gambling people have times when prodigal sons turn back. The more he thinks about it, the more he can't figure it out.

Qian Bo didn't see Tan Xuan's strangeness, and patted Tan Xuan and said generously: "Let's go, don't stick here. Today I'm so glorious. Be careful that someone secretly jealous. Find a place. I will take you out for a casual and elegant manner."

"Forget it, it's only the hour. I'll send you back and continue to pick you up." Tan Xuan started the car and drove out of the street smoothly.

"What else can you run away? It's not enough to pull me one? Don't work too hard at a young age, your body is the most important thing."

Tan Xuan smiled, "I don't fight at such a young age. When I get old, I can't fight anymore. Now I have to work hard to save some wife's fortune."

"If you don't want to say you, you're just a tired life." Qian Bo opened the leather bag on his knees, pulled out a few hundred-dollar bills and handed them to Tan Xuan, "Hold it."

Tan Xuan reached out to take the fare, but then he felt that the thickness was wrong. After taking a look, he said to Qian Bo: "Brother Qian, the amount of this money is wrong. Didn't it be agreed that three hundred? You have seven or eight hundred."

Qian Bo patted his leather bag and said proudly: "There are more rewards from me. I won the money today. Brother, I am happy. Just keep it. If you are polite and I am polite, I will be anxious with you. Don't be busy today. Let's find a bigger bath to relax. Today I was sweating and smoked. You must bubble well. You will drive me to come tomorrow night."

Tan Xuan was not polite, so he took it as soon as he should, and stuffed the money directly under the sun visor, "Okay, I'll agree in advance that what I gave today is today, and I'll give it to tomorrow."
Chapter completed!
