mentioned the three devils of cigarettes, gambling and bandits. Before liberation, they swallowed up many land, women and houses, and eventually led to the separation of their wives and children and the destruction of their families.
Take the small Jianmen casino, and the author witnessed three gamblings.
1.
In the autumn of 1942, a fellow villager from another province who was named Zhang Sange pretended that he was driving a ten-wheeled truck that he had been driving was escorted. He threw an anchor in Jiange Jianshanzi and went to Guangyuan to get accessories. He passed by Jianmen and encountered rain. He played some " Paijiu " for fun.
He and the local Hongqi manager who was in charge of gambling secretly negotiated, "Everyone got rich like this."
So he sent a waiter to the street to call:
"Today there was a guest named Zhang San, who had two pockets (it said that he had two bags of silver dollars and banknotes). Gamblers who were willing to play were welcome, and the shop had already opened."
Anyone who loves gambling on the street has visited.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered the teahouse, two square tables were built into a long seat, Baoguan Zhang Sange ranked "Dangsheng", the Red Flag Manager stood on the right to report the door, 32 black painted wooden cards were adjusted and washed, and four shops were spread out in turn. Some of the gamblers around were watching the fire; some were eager to try, but few bets.
At this time, Baoguan Zhang San Ge stood up and bowed his hands, saying:
"Brother's surname is Zhang, and his name is Yi Huan, a Shandong native, posted "money and grain" on the word "ren" (the third uncle of the Pao brother). He stepped on the precious land and did not visit them one by one. "The bowl in the sequel" is not square. "
Baoli Hongqi Manager continued to exaggerate.
" Brother Zhang is a family, the captain and company commander of the 10th Vehicle Regiment. His brother's convoy often runs on Sichuan and Shaanxi Road. If you have any difficulties in the future, don't tell me what you have. Today, everyone is together and gamble without distinguishing each other. "
The deadlock was opened, so I opened the shop bet. The top eight shops were not even showing the cards. Even the three parties (shun, Tian, and back doors) below were only a little small. The treasure officer said "win in a row".
People were puzzled? The treasure officer compared the money to the winner as a count.
. The following discussion was quietly:
"The turtle is an yellow stick ", "The driver has money," "Maybe drunk..."
Everyone wants to eat cannons, and there are more people betting, and even women and children come to suppress it.
Baoguan loses more and earns less, and there are not much left in the 40 million yuan trunk.
Zhang San Ge said indifferently, "I mean it, I took out a stack of money from my pocket and handed it to Baoli." The people below the three parties were proud, and the more they pressed, the more they won, the less they won, and tonight, all the men, women, young and old who came to suppress "Paijiu" were more or less happy, and they nodded.
This news quickly spread throughout the first and last days of the venue. Some people who did not gamble on "Paijiu" also came to see the fun and wanted to make trouble.
Zhang San Ge took out the ticket and put it in front of Baoli. It seemed that this bait was also called sweetness for later generations, so that they all caught their greed. After all the money on the table was lost, Zhang San Ge stood up and said:
"Say offense. Today, my brother is in poor health and cannot sit for a long time and accompany him again." "
Baoli Hongqi Manager packed up his gambling equipment and walked off the stage without saying a word.
Before it was dark the next day, someone brought all the cash and silver dollars from his family with him and prepared to make a big fuck.
At about 7 pm, Zhang Sange's "Paijiu" occasion opened again.
Of course, there are many people who have been affordable yesterday, and today they have heard more. The inner and outer three layers surrounded the two gambling tables.
After the opening of the shop, the Baoguan and the gambling friends had a win or loss, which was relatively peaceful.
After a burst of "Zhuchuantang Chitianmen", "Zheshunmen Walking in the lower corner", and "Tongying" Baoguan's loud sound, "Paijiu" has been on the verge of gambling.
Zhang San Ge used his skills to shuffle the cards, spread out four and nine cards, and then blew the dice to the mouth, and replaced two "lead dice" (can be positioned as fixed numbers). His hands and feet were quick and he was not easy to see the flaws, and he said to himself:
"Today's gambling luck is not good, and I have to hang my dice!"
Then he threw the dice with force. Bao Li showed his throat and shouted "Shift". Bao Li gently moved the four dominoes in front of him to his chest and said, Bao Li (that is, after the three-way card below was teased, Bao Li's card finally opened and pulled it open in public). There are indeed many four-shop cards in the
level. The gate is "Tian Jiuwu plus one pair of six leopards", the gate is "Tian Jiuwu plus the earth carrying", and the back door is "one pair of media, one pair of long two leopards and leopards". The three parties below all stick their tongues and feel complacent. They have never taken such a big card, and they regret not putting all the money on them.
Baoye asked, have you all been told? Everyone said happily, "You all are done."
At this time, the people around, those standing on the bench and stairs, stared at the sight of the treasure official.
The air is very nervous and silent.
Zhang San Ge slowly flipped the cards one by one. The first one was "Two and Four", and the second one was "Yangtze Third". There were only two points to make fun of it. It was said that Baoguan was sure to lose.
flipped through the third one and fell to the bottom of the table with too much force. After not touching it for a long time, I had to take off the light on the table and look for it on the ground. The people who were gamblers thought that such a good card was hard to beat in ten years, and they took the opportunity to stuff all the money on the gambling table.
Gold smashing and silver dollars also became bets. When Baoli put Liang back on the table, the banknotes and silver dollars had already been marked into a high wall surrounded by three sides. Maybe Zhang Sange couldn't afford to sell his car by selling it all.
picked up the fallen card and flipped it on the table. It was a "guillezi". The kidnapper was called "guillezi". It can control the cards of the three parties, but everyone's heart was half cold.
Baoguan’s fourth card is a "Dingding", my God!
Baoguan’s 4 cards can be teased into "Emperor plus Gunguen King" and eat up all three parties.
This shop has captured three sacks, which is about 1 billion yuan in counterfeit currency. The gamblers are like bored chickens, sweating and listless, and everyone is in danger.
The next pavilion was spread out, and no penny was paid.
Zhang San Ge bowed his hands again, sued him for offending, and then the scene ended.
Zhang San ransacked the Jianmen Field without any effort. No one was eating tea in the teahouse, and the business was suddenly depressed. The family was in trouble and fight. Some became thieves and bandits, bringing unstable factors to society.
2.
There is a young farmer named Liu Zhiyuan. His parents and wife have 5 people who have grown crops and live a good life.
That year, thanks to the good weather and good harvests.
March City God’s birthday, Jianmen Pass was celebrating a show, which was very lively.
The old man asked his son to sell 2,400 kilograms of soybeans on his back and do a cloth business.
Just met a soybean garden in Zhongba to collect soybeans, and sold more than 30 silver dollars at once. It was so pleasant! Unexpectedly, a few young gambling sticks on the street heard the news and repeatedly invited Liu Zhiyuan to play cards.
Liu touched the heavy ocean in his purse, and became bolder and forced to "go downhill with bicycles--not step on them", so he got into the circle.
There are evil ghosts in the casinos, and they all want to get other people’s money into their own pockets, and none of them are kind.
Several gambling sticks secretly agreed to the "Tai family" (recruiting gambling people) that "each hunting in the same mountain has its own share."
In one night, Liu Zhiyuan lost all his 30 silver dollars.
He returned to Jiangdong without a face, and left his wife and children behind his parents and ran away.
From then on, the woman remarried and her parents died of worries and anger. Liu Zhiyuan has no whereabouts yet.

Once again, an Xichong old man bought a half-time pig storm (150 kilograms) in Bikou, Gansu. When he arrived at Jianmen Pass, it was the thirty-year-old eve of the twelfth lunar month, and he had to stop here for the New Year.
I thought about a few days to celebrate the New Year, and then I rushed to Nanchong to sell it at the opening price, and the cost will be even more substantial.
On the first day of the first lunar month, there were gambling everywhere on the streets, including cards, mahjong, paijiu and dice rolls. The silver dollar bills were moved around, which made people feel itchy and dazzled.
slowly moved to the teahouse, and saw the tickets and the money to move, so I also wanted to give it a try. Winning a few packs of cigarettes is a lucky New Year.
"Paijiu" is crowded with people. After all, he was kidnapped by "Baoist" (Baoist's assistant) three times. He was ridiculed by "stealing a chicken but losing a piece of rice".
will definitely win back the loss, so he took out the two silver dollars he had close to, pressing one in the east and one in the west, and then throwing his armor again in two or three rounds.
Not to mention Nanchong’s money, there is not even a single money to protect yourself.
As the saying goes, "If the casino loses its head, only the casino will catch it." Ask the store owner to move a bet, I have bristle to suppress it.
gamblers heard that there was a pig bristle, which was a hot item at the time. When Baoguan turned against the norm, he said to the old man Xichong: "Why do you have to use the bets? Just just press the number."
wins smoothly, and his hands are like spring breeze sweeping the fallen flowers; he loses the courage and grabs the glutinous rice cake . In less than half a day, the 150 kilogram of pig bristles from Xichong Laoji lost all. Xichong Laoji cries like a loss of his parents and collapses on the chair.
Some gloating people started talking in a few words:
"People who go out only want to seek wealth, why bother to seek trouble? They ask for trouble."
"It's not like to stretch out their hands, but to stretch out their hands, it's like cutting off their noses and pigs!"
"How can pilaf on the gambling table be left to you? The blacksmith's business is a product that is beaten."
" The bristle dealer lost all his money and was ridiculed.
@ Senior year Qingyun Teacher Gambling this thing It can indeed make people addicted and go to depravity.
Psychologists have found that gambling addiction generally goes through these four processes:
"stimulation-pleasure-pleasure reinforcement-addiction" pattern.
gambling itself is extremely stimulating. The randomness and uncertainty in the casino are indeed very powerful stimulating for ordinary people with certainty in their lives. The heartbeats faster when gambling, and even after gambling, it will take a long time to return to normal.
Once ordinary people experience the success of gambling, they will have huge psychological pleasure. This pleasure will make people psychologically impulsive and want to experience the pleasure again. Many people who have gambling once will step into the casino again by wonder.
But as the number of gambling increases, the pleasure will decrease. In order to strengthen this stimulating pleasure, they will increase the frequency of gambling, and they will become addicted after continuous strengthening.
In order to cultivate the gambling nature of ordinary people, dealers and casinos will use the "fishing" method to let you win at the beginning and cultivate your Betting, backend operations allow you to win less and lose more, and you won cleanly in one go. In some places, the "betting on jadeite rough stone pig-killing plate" is actually this routine. It is the only thing that my ancestors play, but they are not satisfied with it. This is actually a human nature.
The best way to quit gambling is to not play it once.
