In the inn, the four of them sat down. As soon as the shopkeeper came up, he communicated with the old lady first, and in front of Lao Bai.
"Don't worry, old lady, I will feed you cards later."
There are four people at the card table. Big Mouth must be on his mother's side, and now that the shopkeeper is included, it's a happy three-on-one situation.
But Lao Bai didn't care. In his opinion, if he was really serious, the one-on-one would be casual.
The old lady didn't care too much, she replied politely. "Thank you in advance."
Then, she rolled up her sleeves, flexed her fingers, and muttered something.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a little curious when they saw her like this.
"What are you doing?"
"I am gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon." The old lady said in a spirited voice.
"Ha, ha! Come on, come on, let's get started." Everyone responded with awkward yet polite smiles.
The mahjong game officially started, and the four people had decided to shuffle the cards and draw the cards. Lao Bai got a good hand of cards, and his face was so happy that he almost bloomed with rose flowers.
"Zhizhizhi, it can't be so prosperous. I don't know how to lose." Lao Bai sighed with a happy face.
The two people at the table glanced sideways to indicate that he was going to show off later. The scholar also curiously came behind Lao Bai to look at Lao Bai's cards.
Lao Bai showed off to the scholar.
Neither Xiucai nor Xiao Liu can play mahjong, and they can't even understand it. Fortunately, this game does not require them to understand mahjong, because.
"Four tubes."
"Hu!"
Everyone was stunned. Lao Bai just played a card, and the old lady called Hu directly. Everyone hurriedly went up to check.
"Pearls and emeralds are worth three yuan, give or take." The old lady said to everyone with a smile.
Everyone saw that it was true, but they didn't doubt him, they just thought it was the old lady's good luck.
But, next.
"Thirty thousand."
"Hu!"
. . .
"Yaoji."
"Hu!"
. . .
"Hongzhong."
"Hu!"
Everyone was dumbfounded. No matter what other people said, the old lady would always say, Hu!
The game is often over after the first person plays the first card.
One handful may be considered good luck, but after more than ten or twenty, a fool will feel that something is wrong.
But they couldn't find any problem. The old lady was sitting next to them, her sleeves were half rolled up, and there was no suspicion of cheating at all.
The scholar had already stood behind the old lady at the beginning of the third round. He nodded to everyone and indicated that the cards the old lady drew at the beginning were like this.
Seeing the scholar nodding, Xiaoliu knew that if the old lady was out of luck, she must have done something while shuffling and touching the cards.
But these two things were carried out by four people together. How did she do it in such public view?
Xiao Liu couldn't help but frown in thought. He stared closely at the old lady's hands, but they were too far away and he couldn't see anything at all.
But no matter how close he was, he probably wouldn't be able to tell. The old lady's hand just stayed on the table, and except for normal movements, she never moved.
In the end, everyone eliminated all possibilities, and only the last possibility remained.
That means the old lady is really lucky, but maybe everyone doesn't believe it.
But I have to believe it.
The poker game continues, and Lao Bai loses because he has begun to doubt life.
who is he? Where is he? What is he doing? He wants to play mahjong. Can he have a good round? He really wants to play cards once!
God seemed to hear Lao Bai's thoughts, and his chance to play tricks came.
The shopkeeper couldn't bear to see Lao Bai like this, but she had no choice but to play a card and call to Lao Bai.
"Two cakes, two cakes in the exhibition hall."
It was this card that awakened Lao Bai.
"Two cakes?" Lao Bai, who was doubting his life, heard these two words like the sound of nature, and he quickly woke up in disbelief.
"Erbian, hahahaha, I'm crazy!"
Lao Bai was about to show his cards happily, but then the old lady said with a smile.
"Sorry, Zhihu!"
According to the order of succession, the old lady is the subordinate of the shopkeeper, so the old lady does it before Lao Bai. This is a futile joy for Lao Bai.
Lao Bai, who originally thought he saw hope, thought he was about to take off, but he didn't expect that the old lady's stick drove him directly into a deeper hell.
"Come again, come again!" Lao Bai said, resisting the urge to vomit blood.
But he wanted to come again, but they really refused to come.
"Wait a minute, my son owes you the figs and eggs?" the old lady stopped and asked.
"It's settled, it's settled! From now on, your son and I don't owe anyone anything. Come on, come again!" After explaining, Lao Bai greeted again.
However, the old lady has no time to continue playing with these juniors.
"Everything is cleared, what else is there to do?"
With that said, the old lady got up and left.
But seeing the old lady who was about to get up and leave, Lao Bai, who was furious, quickly got up and held down:
"Take your time, this is a small gamble to make you happy, but a big gamble is harmful to your health. We just want to have fun. We are having fun now. How can we just leave? Come on, keep walking."
Seeing Lao Bai stopping the old lady from leaving, the shopkeeper and Da Zui quickly spoke out, but the old lady spoke first.
"You can continue to gamble, but if you lose, what will you get in return?" the old lady smiled, knowing that this would be the result.
Lao Bai persuaded the old lady at first glance and took out his remaining chips.
"Xiao Guo still has to wash my clothes for six months. If you win, I will give her her freedom."
The old lady remembered Xiao Guo as the little girl who comforted her at night. She was a very nice person.
"Then shuffle the cards!"
After dozens of rounds, the night was over and the east was white, and Xiao Liu knew the result without even looking.
He was leaning over and watching, feeling a little tired and bored. Xiao Liu came to sit on a chair in a tea shop nearby.
He began to meditate and practice internal energy. At this time, he returned to the county government office, but the county government office had long been closed.
Moreover, it is better to practice here than to go back to practice. In addition, it is the turn of spring and summer, the nights are not cold, and the streets are quiet and no one is there.
. . . . . .
"Whoa whoa--!"
The golden rooster croaks, the sun rises in the east, and Xiaoliu wakes up from his cultivation state.
He breathed in and out, stood up and stretched his muscles, and then started to watch the duel in the house through the small hole in the window.
These four people insisted on playing mahjong all night.
At this time, even Xiao Guo had already gotten up and came out.
"No way, you won't play mahjong here all night, right?" Xiao Guo looked at where everyone was sitting around and actually got up earlier than her.
Xiucai whispered to Xiao Guo: "Lao Bai lost miserably. He didn't win even one game all night."
"Ah, no way!" Xiao Guo came over curiously. She knew how good Lao Bai's gambling skills were. Although she was just a gambler, she still had two skills.
