My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 514 Gambler Luo Jian
The sky was dimming, and Luo Jian came out of the casino dizzy. The moment he looked up, he felt like the world was spinning.

Fortunately, there was a wall next to him, so he leaned against the wall and finally did not fall.

Only then did Luo Jian feel that he was very hungry and his eyes were sore and uncomfortable. Calculating the time, he actually stayed in the casino for a day and a night, not to mention sleeping and eating, and he didn't even drink any water.

Looking back on his experiences during this period, Luo Jian also felt like he was in a dream. Just a month ago, he was a wealthy middle-aged man with a little family fortune, a wife and children. However, in just one month, he After losing all the family property, the wife returned to her parents' home with her children.

The reason for all this was because Luo Jian was bored and encouraged by a few friends, so he went to the casino to play a few games. As a result, he seemed to be possessed by a demon when he played. When he came to his senses, At that time, all the wealth that I had accumulated after working hard for half a life had been lost to the casino.

Thinking of this, Luo Jian couldn't help but sigh. The night before yesterday, he sold the last few pieces of furniture at home and planned to give it a last try. He just wanted to win back the property he had lost before, and then go and buy his wife and children. Take him home too.

But it's a pity that after gambling for a day and night, I lost and won, but in the end I lost all my money and had to leave the gambling table.

"We can't play anymore. If we keep playing, I might even lose my life to others!"

Luo Jian warned himself in a low voice that the real reason was that he had lost everything he could lose and really had no money left for gambling.

Feeling very hungry, Luo Jian felt all over his body and finally found a few copper coins.

There was a bun seller on the road, so Luo Jian bought a few buns and ate them while walking on the road, while thinking about what to do next.
The money is gone, and everything that can be sold at home has been sold. The only good thing is that Luo Jian still retained the last trace of reason and did not borrow money from the casino, otherwise there would be no possibility of turning over.

When he got home, Luo Jian opened the door and looked at the empty yard, feeling a sudden sadness in his heart.

A month ago, every time he came home, his well-behaved daughter and lovely son would come to greet him, and his wife would prepare hot meals. But now the house is empty and no one is there.

"Snapped!"

Luo Jian suddenly slapped himself hard. He said he didn't want to gamble just now, but he still wanted to gamble in his heart, but now he really regretted it. If he had known this, he shouldn't have set foot in the casino in the first place.

But now it's too late to regret it. His wife and children have left, and his home has been sold out. Even the empty house has been mortgaged by him. It is expected that someone will come to collect the house soon.

Thinking that he would be homeless in the future, Luo Jian suddenly burst into tears. He was born in poverty. He worked as a book boy in his early years and read several books with his master's young master. As an adult, he worked as a storyteller. He also settled accounts for others, and later secretly went out to sea for smuggling with others.

Later, when the sea opened, Luo Jian officially went to sea with several fleets, sailed to Nanyang and visited the Japanese country. It was not easy to accumulate a sum of money. Before the housing prices in the capital rose, he bought a house in the capital and brought his wife to the sea. The children were also settled in the capital.

Luo Jian was injured on the ship last year. In addition, he spent less time with his wife and children and spent more time away from his wife and children during these years at sea. So after he recovered from his injuries, he decided to stop working. Anyway, he had a small amount of assets, which was enough for their family. .

It's just that Luo Jian himself didn't expect that such a beautiful life would only last for a year before being destroyed by him.

He walked into the house with heavy steps and saw that the room was also empty. The only bed was still there, but the bedding on the bed had been plundered by Luo Jian.

At this time, Luo Jian felt that his body had reached its limit. He was even more tired than when he was on the boat, fighting the storm all day and night, so he threw himself on the bed frame, put the uneaten buns on the bedside, and then put the whole The man fell into a deep sleep.I don’t know how long I slept for?When Luo Jian opened his eyes, he saw that it was slightly dark outside. He didn't know whether it was evening or early morning.

Luo Jian was lying on the bed unwilling to move. He was thinking about what he should do next.
It is impossible to gamble again. He has admitted defeat. The property he lost before should be used as a lesson for himself. Next, he will get back on his feet and strive to make money as soon as possible to bring back his wife and children.

That's what I thought, but when Luo Jian reached middle age and lost all his family property, it was not easy to stand up again.

Luo Jian worked in many businesses when he was young. He was a bookkeeper and a bookkeeper. It was not difficult for a person like him who could write and do calculations to find a serious job. However, the money from these businesses came too slowly. Jian has lost everything. If he only relies on these things, he may never be able to earn back his original wealth in this life.

"If it doesn't work, I will have no choice but to go sailing again!"

Luo Jian suddenly said fiercely.

He used to follow others into the sea for smuggling, and then he started to run the ship openly. Life on the ship was not only hard, but also very dangerous. Nearly half of the people Luo Jian met on the ship died at sea, including Luo Jian himself. He narrowly escaped death several times.

It was precisely because the sea was too dangerous and he had saved a lot of money that Luo Jian decided to give up that dangerous life and go home to live with his family in peace, but he did not expect that it would be ruined by his own hands.

However, compared to other businesses, boating is indeed a lucrative business, and Luo Jian can write and do calculations, plus he has made many old friends. If he is willing to go to sea, it will probably take less than a few years to repurchase his lost fortune. Earn it back.

Thinking of this, Luo Jian suddenly sat up from the bed, went to the yard to get water and washed his face, but felt hungry again.

The uneaten buns were still on the bedside, so Luo Jian took the hard buns and started to nibble on them.

"what?"

At this moment, Luo Jian suddenly discovered that the bun wrapped in a bun turned out to be half a newspaper. This thing had recently appeared in the capital. He had bought several newspapers before when he was rich.

So Luo Jian was eating steamed buns while reading the contents of the newspaper. As he looked at it, he suddenly discovered that there was a box in the corner of the newspaper with the newspaper's manuscript request information printed on it.

"You get paid to write articles for newspapers!"

Luo Jian's eyes suddenly lit up. This was a news newspaper. He had read the contents of the newspaper before, and what interested him most were the strange novels written in the newspaper.

However, in Luo Jian's opinion, these strange stories in the newspapers were really not very good and far less exciting than his experience at sea.

"Yes, why can't I write down my experience at sea and submit it to a newspaper?"

Luo Jian suddenly slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
