Chapter 13: The Mystery of Fate (3)
After Wuwei was born, he lived with his mother in the acrobatic troupe, when he was the only child in the troupe, so he became the baby of everyone, and he didn't need his mother to coax him at all.
Jiang Wuwei watched his uncles and aunts grow up day by day, from the beginning of being able to climb on the carpet, he was teased and rolled by the uncles and aunts in the group, and he was pulled by his legs and learned to turn his heels as soon as he could walk, so Wuwei has practiced a good body since he was a child.
Jiang Wuwei followed his father to the south alone when he was five years old, and when he came back three years later, he had a younger sister, and when he grew up, he guessed that the reason why his father took him to the military camp at such a young age was because his mother was pregnant and couldn't take care of him.
Leaving his mother at the age of five, Wuwei developed the habit of independent living very early, and the life in the acrobatic troupe and the barracks shaped Wuwei's character, exercised his personality, and also allowed him to learn things that other children could not learn.
Shangguan Wenlan couldn't perform on stage when she was pregnant with Wuwei, but she didn't lose the work in her hands, and she practiced with poker in her hand all the time, Wuwei's love for poker can be said to have been cultivated before she was born, and it should be said that it has a lot to do with prenatal education.
After Wu Wei was born, his mother held him in his arms, and he kept playing all kinds of tricks with poker in his hand, Wu Wei watched his mother practice cards and began to understand the world, and his mother always liked to use playing cards to tease him. The first toy that Wuwei grabbed in his hand was the playing cards used by his mother to practice, and since then the playing cards have never left Wuwei.
After Wuwei will leave, he will watch his uncles and aunts practice in the practice room and on the side of the stage, and these uncles and aunts also like the chubby Wuwei, and they always like to teach him a little trick to tease him in the gap between the exercises.
After the age of five, Wuwei followed his father to the south, at this time his father was already the commander of the division's reconnaissance battalion, Wuwei stayed in the military camp for ten years, although he returned to his mother in the north for another year, and his primary and secondary schools were spent in the south. For as long as he can remember, Wuwei has been watching the soldiers crawl and roll around next to the training ground, and when he is older, he will run behind the soldiers, and when the soldiers are resting, he will be alone on the training ground.
Wu Wei always follows the warriors' butts, and the fighters like to play with Wu Wei when they are fine, training Wu Wei as the best entertainment, Wu Wei brings joy to the fighters and also exercises themselves, each of these scouts has their own tricks. Wuwei always pestered the fighters who were eight or nine years older than him and asked them to teach themselves. The warriors not only taught Wu Wei to grapple and fight, but also taught him to play with various firearms. The smart Wuwei can learn everything as soon as he learns, and by the time he goes to middle school, he will be like a veteran.
When it comes to holidays or when he doesn't go to school, Wuwei often practices sanda combat with the scouts without telling his father, and he is often beaten to the point that his nose is blue and his face is swollen.
In my father's reconnaissance camp, there is a sanda champion of the whole military region named Ma Tao, and Wuwei worships Uncle Ma Tao as a teacher to learn sanda. Ma Tao used his own original training method to train the teenage Wuwei, who used his arms apart, tied ropes to two trees, and quickly hit his face with his fists wearing boxing gloves, and he could only swing his head to the sides to dodge, using this method to train his eyes and dodge ability. At the beginning, at the end of each training, Wuwei was beaten to the point that his nose and face were swollen, and blood flowed. But in the end, he developed Wuwei's extremely agile reflexes, and he didn't blink his eyes when his fist reached his eyes. This particular training method laid a solid foundation for him to recognize cards at the table later on, giving him a sharp eye like an eagle.
Dad is busy with his own work, and rarely finds out that Wuwei is beaten, and sometimes he is beaten very badly, in order to prevent being seen by Dad, Wuwei touches Dad's time and avoids the opportunity to meet him. Wuwei followed his father in the army, and usually went to the canteen alone to eat, and sometimes the father and son couldn't speak a word for a few days. I couldn't hide from being seen by my father, so I lied and said that I had fallen on my heels.
In the ten years spent in the barracks, because his mother was not around, his father was busy with work and rarely took care of him, and the special environment and experience not only exercised Wuwei's ability to live independently, but also developed his wild and strong character. In the barracks, Wu Wei secretly practiced a strong skill, grappling and fighting, especially free fighting, many fighters are not his opponents, all kinds of firearms are also proficient, blindfolded and all kinds of light weapons can be quickly disassembled and assembled, and the veterans in the reconnaissance company are no different. By the time he graduated from high school, the Scout's inaction had been basically mastered.
In addition, Wu Wei has been practicing playing cards in his hand since he was a child, and he throws poker to play when he is free, and over time he has practiced a flying card stunt, the thin playing cards can shoot out like a flying knife in his hand, and can hit any object not more than one centimeter within ten meters, and a hundred shots.
Wuwei's fascination with gambling began at a roadside gambling stall. Dad's troops were on the outskirts of the provincial capital, and when he was in middle school, he was passing by a morning market. In the bazaar, there are always a few people who gamble with three playing cards, two red and one black, and throw the three cards around on the ground, and finally guess the black cards, guessing one dollar at a time.
Wu Wei, who has been proficient in poker since childhood, sees through their deceptive tricks at a glance, and he finds that there are always one or two people who are luring others to play. At first, Wuwei felt strange how someone deliberately bet money on the black card, because he could see that the card was repositioned, and later understood that this person was a nursery. Whether others bet on him or not, they will lose.
Jiang Wuren is not big, but he is a clever ghost, he has no knowledge of gambling, he only bets one dollar at a time, and he bets in the opposite position to others, and no one cares about this child with a schoolbag. He only wins two or three yuan at a time, and when he wins, he leaves, and these two or three yuan are enough for his pocket money for a day. Over time, Wuwei became addicted to gambling, and after school, he had to go to those places to see people gambling before going home.
Wuwei has always been a "big money" among his classmates, and his classmates are envious of Wuwei's endless pocket money, no one knows where his money comes from, and Wuwei's money is used to buy books on military, martial arts, exploration, etc., but he rarely reads books related to learning.
By the time his parents lived together, Wuwei was already a senior in high school and was ready to take the university entrance examination. On the issue of choosing his studies, Wuwei had an argument with his father for the first time. Father wanted Wuwei to go to military school and become a soldier, his father knew that Wuwei liked the military camp and was full of feelings for soldiers, but he didn't expect that his son had changed a lot at this time, and Wuwei half-jokingly said to his father: "I don't want to be a soldier, like you, my life is at the end of the deputy division level." ”
My father was not happy when he heard this deputy division level, some of the comrades-in-arms who were mentioned at the same time as him were already at the military level, but his deputy division level had been working for almost ten years and had not moved.
"What's wrong with the deputy division level? You kid can mix with me as a deputy division, it's your ability!" said the father angrily.
"I'm not uncommon for you to treat the deputy division level as a baby, and I want to be like Bill Gates, to be in the top 10 of the Forbes rich list. ”
After listening to Wuwei's words, my mother remembered the fate that the old gentleman told him when she was a child, and asked him with a smile: "No wonder the old gentleman said that you are not an official, so what major do you want to study?"
"Computers, if you want to be the second Gates, you have to learn computers. At that time, Wuwei didn't expect that he would be persuaded to quit the school before graduating three years later.
Because his mind was not on studying, Wuwei's college entrance examination results were average, and he was admitted to an ordinary university in another province, but he chose to major in computer science as he wished.
Wuwei doesn't care about school in his heart, he doesn't care about whether he goes to college or not, to a large extent, it's for his parents. Another reason is that he wants to be free from his father's control, he does not want to live under the protection of his parents. Bill Gates didn't graduate from college and became the richest man in the world? In his view, the wealth a person can have has nothing to do with his academic qualifications.
On the first night of college registration, everyone had nothing to do in the dormitory, the classmates had just met each other, and the few people in the same room did not have much to say.
Wu Wei didn't care about anything, and he beckoned his classmates to start playing. Of the six students in the same dormitory, three were wealthy students from Shanghai and Zhejiang, and two were from poor areas. Wu Wei played "tractor" with three classmates from wealthy families, that is, three cards were compared to the size, and won two or three hundred yuan from each of them in less than two hours. The students couldn't imagine that Wu Wei's card skills were so powerful, no matter how he changed his tricks, he couldn't win him, and he didn't even need to manually play cards to know what points were at the bottom of the card. Within a few days, their dormitory became a stronghold for the class to play cards, and classmates from other dormitories also joined in, and no one could escape from Wuwei.
After entering the university, the relaxed learning environment suddenly stimulated his gambling nature, and after the first semester passed, Wuwei had a nickname - "Hunter", and few classmates could win him when playing cards. The students of the whole department were defeated by Wu Wei one by one, and the classmates from wealthy families were like his money bags, and he could take out one hundred and eighty yuan at will, and Wu Wei regarded these students as the object of practice, but he paid great attention to the importance of winning not too much at one time, and he would stop every time he won them for one hundred and ten yuan. After his freshman year, Wu Wei can't remember how many times he has been dealt with by the school, and there are dozens of pokers confiscated by the teacher.
Later, a few senior classmates were really helpless to win by Wuwei, but they were not reconciled, and several people discussed and invited two poker masters from the society to fight against Wuwei, and their purpose was to defeat Wuwei.
The students invited the master not only good card skills, but also out of the thousands of experts, Wu Wei to play cards most hate out of the thousand and cheating, Wu Wei is upright, he never out of a thousand, out of the old people hate, as long as Wu Wei is found, will teach them a lesson.
In the end, the two people became angry, and the playing of cards turned into a war, and the two guys who didn't know the height of the sky were beaten by Wuwei to the point of bleeding, and finally sued the school, and Wuwei was also persuaded by the school to quit.
From the bottom of his heart, Wuwei is also bored at school, and he has long wanted to come out and break through. He has already set himself a goal to become the world gambling king in five years' time. But if you want to become a gambling king, you must leave China, because gambling is strictly forbidden in the mainland. He plans to go to the United States first, because Las Vegas is a gambling paradise, and if you want to become a gambling king, you must start from the largest casino, and only a high starting point can train yourself.
Wuwei knew that he was persuaded to quit by the school for the time being, and his parents couldn't let him know about it, otherwise not only would he not be able to go to the United States, but he might also be taken into custody.
Wuwei decided to go back to his grandfather in the north first, and with the protection of his grandparents and grandmother, no one would dare to do anything to him. In addition, there is another important reason why he went to his grandfather's house, one of his grandfather's apprentices has been in the United States for many years, and Wuwei wants to go to the United States through him.
Wuwei still has a deep impression of his grandfather's apprentice, he often played with him when he was young, his grandfather's apprentice was an orphan, his grandfather always regarded him as a son, he and his mother are also sisters and brothers, Wuwei has always called him uncle, and he also regarded his grandfather's family as a relative. Once an acrobatic troupe went abroad to visit and perform, my grandfather's apprentice was favored by an acrobatic troupe in the United States and wanted to hire him with a high salary.
Grandpa was very surprised by the sudden arrival of Wuwei, how could he run back before the holiday? Wuwei didn't want to hide it, so he directly told his grandfather that he had dropped out of school.
"What's the matter, why did you drop out?" asked my grandfather anxiously.
"I wanted to study abroad, so I dropped out, and more than a dozen of my classmates from our school had already gone out, so there was no fuss. Wuwei said nonchalantly.
"Did your mom and dad know that you dropped out of school?" asked my grandmother with concern.
"Do you want them to know that I still have to come here? I was afraid that they wouldn't agree, so I came to Grandpa. ”
"Why do you always worry so much, child?" said Grandma anxiously.
"Forget it, when the child is older, let him decide for himself. "Grandpa knows Wuwei's personality, and he can't pull back the nine cows that he recognizes. It is said that the next generation is close, and my grandfather loves this grandson very much, and he tries to do nothing about everything. Because he doted on this child too much, his grandfather and grandfather's family were always at odds.
"Wuwei, which country are you going to study? ”
"Grandpa, don't you have an apprentice in the United States? Can you ask this uncle to help me go to the United States, I want to go to the United States, and I will not go to other places, as for the money, you just need to buy me a plane ticket, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
"Okay, I'll call to help you get in touch, it's also a good thing to go out and exercise, grandpa supports you. ”
"One more thing, I can't let my dad and mom know until I come to the United States, otherwise I will ignore you and grandma. Wuwei coquettishly told his grandfather that he knew that his grandfather was obedient to him and would definitely be able to do it for him. With my grandfather's prestige in the literary and artistic circles, and I know a lot of people, it is a piece of cake to do this.
A month later, Wuwei came to the United States as he wished, and he first arrived in Los Angeles. My uncle was waiting for him at the airport a long time ago, and my uncle always felt that the master was kind to him, so he wanted to do his best to help Wuwei as a reward for his master.
After coming to Los Angeles, Wuwei only stayed at his uncle's house for one day and left, and his uncle repeatedly asked him to stay for a few more days, but Wuwei's heart had already flown to the casino. He is now like a bird that has just escaped from its cage, eager to spread its wings and fly.
However, Wuwei thought everything too simply, and as soon as he arrived in the United States, he had a grudge with the local gangsters, and then many unexpected things happened one after another......
