not sad planet

Chapter 26

Isn't it just playing mahjong, what about you?

Liang Shu knew that Yu Ling's subtext was this.Because he heard the sound of ping-pong-pong in the warehouse.

"Anyway, take it easy." Bai Le'an said.

Yu Ling let out a casual "hmm" and took off the sunglasses on Bai Le'an's nose.

Holding the glasses legs in his hands, he leaned against the steel frame wall and looked at Liang Shu, "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"I, I..." Liang Shu and Yu Ling became nervous as soon as they looked at each other, he hesitated for a while, but did not speak.

Liang Shu didn't know anything about the situation here, and it came so suddenly that he didn't have time to make any preparations.

"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do? Anyway, your work area is idle all day long." Bai Le'an said, as if he was trying to save Liang Shu, "He ran into those things when he first came to Lanka. Maybe he is not acclimatized. , I had a fever and a headache a few days ago, and now it’s such a mess outside, I can’t go to the hospital, so I took some medicine. Today, I just feel better, so I thought about taking him out for a walk, and I can’t go to the hospital. Far away, come here."

Oh, it turned out that he didn't bring me to find Yu Ling on purpose.Liang Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Quietly listening to Bai Le'an, Yu Ling asked, "Is it better?"

After being silent for two seconds, realizing that he was asking himself, Liang Shu nodded hastily, "Yes."

Yu Ling said to Bai Le'an again: "If the water and soil are not acclimatized, don't let them toss back and forth, go back to the camp and lie down."

"If you lie down again, you'll be useless. It's better to come out for a walk more often," Bai Le'an pointed out, "You too."

"Oh." Yu Ling replied lazily, lowering his head and fiddling with the sunglasses in his hand.

"How long has it been playing inside?" Bai Le'an asked again.

"Just started."

Seeing Bai Le'an frowning with doubts on his face, Yu Ling calmly explained: "Really, I have been sleeping all afternoon and just woke up."

"It's almost dinner time, do you have dinner?"

"Eat when you're hungry."

Bai Le'an sighed, and looked at Yu Ling with a hopeless expression.

Yu Ling shrugged: "There is no way, you know, the site can't start work, the workers have nothing to do, and they won't let them go anywhere. If they don't let them play cards for fun, sooner or later they will all have problems."

He looked calm and relaxed, and he didn't look like someone who would cause problems.

Bai Le'an: "How big are you playing?"

"Not much."

"Let me see." Bai Le'an raised his foot, making a gesture to go in.

Yu Ling blocked Bai Le'an with a hand: "Come on, I can't even play mahjong, so why join in the fun."

He suddenly turned his head and asked Liang Shu, "Can you fight?"

Liang Shu was taken aback for a moment, and then replied, "A little bit."

He is very good at playing mahjong, and he has been fascinated by it since he was a child. He has never lost a game of poker in his work unit. People in the world are known as the God of Gamblers.

"That's right, three missing one."

"Hey," Bai Le'an held him back, "How much money does he have as an intern, don't play too much."

Yu Ling said "Yes", "I know."

"It's mine if I lose." After he finished speaking, he looked slightly sideways at Liang Shu, "Do you want to play?"

Bai Le'an also looked at Liang Shu, "I'll go to the tunnel for a walk, there's a waterfall nearby, are you with me, or are you playing here?"

Is this still an option?Of course, I want to go in and play mahjong with Yu Ling.

Liang Shu was trying to pretend to be in a dilemma and hesitated for a while, when he heard Bai Le'an say again: "Forget it, forget it, the road over there is not easy to walk, and you have to climb uphill, so you can play here first. Ask Yu Ling to watch over it, and don't let them cheat you."

There are some sundries piled up in the corner of the warehouse, and there are two automatic mahjong machines in the middle.

Both tables were full, and there were many people watching cards standing beside them.

There are not only Chinese people, but also many foreign faces, with Southeast Asian appearance, brownish-black complexion, short nose and low bridge, and deep facial contours.

Seeing Director Yu leading a strange face over, the Sri Lankan who was watching the cards greeted him warmly:

"Mahjong!"

"Mahjong!"

Liang Shu: "Huh?"

"You mean to say hello to you." Yu Ling said with a smile.

Liang Shu looked suspicious: "Really?"

"Well, really, what are you doing lying to you?"

"Mahjong Mahjong!" So Liang Shu also smiled at them.

There were also some people who didn't notice that Liang Shu came in at all, with cigarettes in their hands, they were concentrating on the game, and they were fully engaged in the game.

"Hahaha!" A middle-aged man with a beard shouted, his brows couldn't hide his joy.

For a moment, sighs and boos sounded together.

"Old Hu played this card, his hands really stink!"

"Unlucky, stop beating, let's go eat!" The tall and strong man called "Old Hu" stood up cursingly.

"Director Yu is here. Oh, there's another one. It's not just the two of you. I won't fight anymore. Come after dinner."

There were only two people left at the poker table, Yu Ling and Liang Shu pulled aside the plastic stools and sat down.

The person next to him handed Yu Ling a cigarette, Yu Ling took it, and handed it to Liang Shu.

"I don't smoke."

Yu Ling wasn't surprised either, he pulled his hand back, bit his cigarette and lit the lighter himself.

Almost everyone else had a cigarette.

The room was filled with smoke, Liang Shu waved away the curling smoke in front of his eyes so as not to affect his reading of cards.

The next table was very loud, and no matter whether the cards went smoothly or not, everyone was blushing and yelling.Yu Ling didn't have those stinking problems, he just smoked quietly, his fingers casually caressed the cards slowly, and the veins on the back of his hands were slightly raised.

Liang Shu couldn't stand the smell of cigarettes, and Yu Ling didn't have much of a cigarette addiction in his impression, and he rarely smoked in front of him.It's not like now, smoking one after another, like an old smoker who has been smoking for decades.

Liang Shu smoked a lot of second-hand smoke beside him, almost coughing up his lungs.

The person sitting on the right side of Liang Shu wore a pair of boxy black-rimmed glasses. He was very gentle, and he looked outstanding among a group of local migrant workers.

Everyone else called him "Boss Ding".

"Xiao Liang, are you still used to it when you first come here?"

Just as Liang Shu was about to speak, "cough, cough, cough..." He couldn't stop coughing due to the heavy smoke, and his face turned red.

Yu Ling glanced at him and put out his cigarette in silence.

Liang Shu didn't pay attention, he regained his breath and said honestly, "I'm not used to it."

"It's still early, and you'll get used to it." Mr. Ding said in the tone of someone who has experienced it.

Liang Shu asked, "When did you come here?"

"I was here before the Civil War ended."

"Civil war?" Liang Shu asked in surprise.

Mr. Ding recalled: "Probably...in 08."

Liang Shu was even more surprised, "Wow, it's been so long!"

"Don't listen to him talking nonsense," another person interrupted them, "this man is always fooling around, he just came here the year before last."

"Hey, don't tell me you don't understand? It's so interesting to tease newcomers, and you have deprived me of this little fun, don't you think, Xiao Yu?"

Yu Ling nodded, with a smile on his lips, "It's interesting."

The economy here is backward, there are no entertainment facilities around, the traffic is blocked, and the mobile phone signal is also up and down. When not working, everyone gathers together, and the pastimes are nothing more than smoking, drinking, playing cards and bragging.

Liang Shu got a lot of information from the poker table.

For example, many local migrant workers from Sri Lanka were employed in the project.

For example, the two automatic mahjong machines were bought second-hand from local Chinese and brought back with goods from the project department.

For another example, the work area has not started work for more than a month.

As for why it didn't start work, no one mentioned it.

"Xiao Liang," Ding Boss seemed to be drunk, babbling on to the newcomer, "You don't know yet, do you? On the day of the 421 terrorist attack, Xiao Yu was at the Colombo airport at that time, and he almost didn't come back!"

Liang Shu's hand trembled, and he couldn't hold on to the red that had just started, and fell to the ground with a "slap".
