Chapter II

Jianghu is not about fighting and killing like Guo Jing. It is not about chopping axes, as my college classmate Hong Yan often said. Jianghu is the mouth of the river and the lake. What you can see and what you can say is the Jianghu. People in the Jianghu should observe what they say, lie and cheat, and make them believe it. Jianghu people earn money. Even if they cheat, they cheat.

Eight sects in the Jianghu: "gold, leather, color, hanging, evaluation, regiment, tune and willow"

"Jin" is to see the face of geomantic fortune telling. At that time, I was a little surprised that Jin ranked first. After working, I heard that the gate of a district government was transformed according to the geomantic omen division. Only then did I know that Jin Dang ranked first and that people made a lot of money.

"Pi" refers to those who sell fake medicine, wild medicine, herbal medicine and dog skin plaster, also known as "Han".

""Cai" is a magic trick.

"Hang" is to practice martial arts to show off.

"Review" is storytelling and rap, adding to the story countless times in the streets.

"Tuan", a crosstalk talker.

"Tune": those who cheat, steal and sell fake goods also refer to those who sell anti smoking drugs.

"Liu": a person who sings a ditty, especially one who sings a certain kind of music.

Lizi card (a chess game to cheat gambling) belongs to the "Cai" sect. Its ancestor is zhaokuangyin, the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Xia once took me to visit a Nanjing oratorical actor, went to his home to communicate, and asked him if he had anything in his mouth during the performance. Xia put something in his mouth. Later, Xia said he shouldn't ask. I later doubted Xia's identity. How did he know the address of the eloquent actor's house.

Once, a young man in a rural area lost more than ten yuan. Xia took the money and walked away. He cried to me about his poverty and said that I wanted to refund the money for seeing a doctor. But after thinking about it, he would cry. Later, I often regretted.

There are often people who don't have enough money to press their watches. They can't get out of the scam. They are trapped by our scripts and the atmosphere we create. They think they can win money immediately.

Once, the other four were losing. He stopped playing chess. He always thought that he didn't want to. He immediately lost. Xia asked him to play chess. He said, what's your hurry? He also realized that he couldn't go on. Seeing that there were only two of us, he grabbed Xia and kept saying, what's your hurry? I didn't see how much money I could earn. I persuaded him to return the money from both sides. When he received the money, he said to Xia, "give your money to the chess boss", and to me, "give you a face", and they left.

Once a local young man lost 10 yuan. I was still there. Xia didn't come back from the alley. The young man brought several people to us. He took off my glasses and asked for a refund. Seeing that he was very fierce, I said to refund you and compensate you for another 10 yuan. But the money was in Xia, so I took him to the alley to find Xia, and gave him an extra 10 yuan. He said that he would settle things with him in the future. He meant to cover it, ha ha.

I don't know if it's because of the above reasons. We have changed from "horse" (one person, two of us), to "wind" (Gang fraud). We have been with another Jianghu people. They are Gao Niu B, Xiao Xue, Lao Ren, Lao Yang, and sometimes others. The people are not fixed when we get together.

We often play chess in Xinjiekou. When chatting, we said that the Qing Dynasty played chess in villages and towns, the Kuomintang played chess in counties, and the Communist Party played chess in Xinjiekou, Nanjing:)
