Chapter 283: Nine Lives (Ren)

After half a glass of white wine, Lu Xiaojuan's face became ruddy, and her voice was not as trembling as before. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Maybe Lu Xiaojuan is not in the mood to tell a story, her speed of speech is very fast, in less than half an hour, she told everything that happened to her and Ma Wu, and the efficiency is much higher than that of Ma Wu, but she didn't take into account the audience's receptivity, which made me listen to it like eating popsicles for three or nine days, and I was cold. I gradually understood why Ma Wu took so long to go around in such a big circle with me.

At the beginning of Xiaojuan's story, she and Ma Wu found out that Teacher Zhang had won three first prizes with prizes of up to 300,000 yuan in a year. All kinds of irregularities in this have been analyzed by Ma Wu for me before.

After that, Ma Wu always wanted to unlock the secret of Lao Zhang's body, and he was close to Lao Zhang, and invited Lao Zhang to eat and drink, just to find out whether Lao Zhang was an unknown prophet, and he could predict the winning number in the future. But women's thinking is completely different from men's, small things are often meticulous, but when it comes to big things, they are always reckless impulsive and direct.

Xiaojuan has been a bitter child since she was a child, and she has a younger brother and a younger sister at home. My father works in a factory, although in Beijing, the salary is not high, and my mother was injured when she was young, and her legs and feet were not good, so she could not go to work, so she had to take care of her children at home. In the early seventies, as soon as Xiaojuan was sensible, her younger brother and sister were born on the front and back feet.

For such a family, in that era when material life was not abundant, it was very difficult to pull three children. Xiaojuan is sensible early, basically she has to take care of her younger siblings since she was a child, and she began to worry about the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar at home with her parents, and her biggest wish for many years was to add a new dress during the New Year, so even if Xiaojuan married Ma Wu later, her life became richer day by day, but she had an innate fear of poverty in her heart.

Lu Xiaojuan was just curious about Lao Zhang's winning the lottery at first, but she kept the promise of Ma Wu and Lao Zhang and did not tell anyone else. Lao Zhang is still the same as before, came to the lottery spot at ninety o'clock, bought one or two notes, and greeted Lu Xiaojuan, just smiled politely, and didn't say much. After Xiaojuan finished playing the lottery, Lao Zhang left in a hurry.

For two months, Lao Zhang did not win the lottery, but Xiaojuan looked at the string of numbers left by Lao Zhang on the computer screen and fell into deep thought.

Although this period, Lao Zhang sometimes buys two notes, sometimes three notes, but one of the numbers has never changed, if their own and Ma Wu's inference is correct, this set of numbers is Lao Zhang's next winning number, but no one knows when it will win.

Lu Xiaojuan also noticed that the recent issues of the lottery have not produced a grand prize, no grand prize, there will be a part of the funds accumulated into the next prize pool, so that after accumulating a few periods, the numbers in the prize pool are enough to make lottery players excited. Lu Xiaojuan vaguely felt that Lao Zhang's numbers were getting closer and closer to winning the lottery.

In fact, Lu Xiaojuan already had a plan in her heart, and she didn't tell Ma Wu, she was worried that Ma Wu's stunned young man would not only not support it, but would also make an obstacle from it. But she still hesitated for a long time, did not dare to do, many times, when the lottery players dispersed, she had typed a few numbers on the computer, but suddenly there would be a palpitation, thinking that if she really did this, something bad would happen, and quickly turned off the computer again.

Until more than a month ago, the accumulated amount of the prize pool, Xiaojuan's rough calculation, was enough for dozens of five million grand prizes across the country, and she could no longer suppress the impulse in her heart. For an ordinary person like her, there may only be such a chance once in her life, and she has been working hard for more than 30 years, isn't this such an opportunity? Besides, she just borrowed Lao Zhang's numbers, at most it is the sin of making cheat sheets in the exam, right?

Xiaojuan no longer hesitated, bought a lottery ticket in her own name, typed the numbers that Lao Zhang had been buying all these periods as they were, confirmed, issued tickets, and then stuffed the small lottery ticket into her pillowcase.

For two weeks, that set of numbers did not win, but there was only one grand prize in the prize pool, which made the country's lottery players crazy, and the sales of various lottery ticket sales surged, correspondingly, the prize pool accumulated to an unprecedented astronomical amount. When the lottery was broadcast live on TV, Xiaojuan's lottery spot was like a festival, surrounded by lottery players on the inner and outer three floors, all waiting for a few minutes of holding their breath and staring at sighs.

Although she didn't win the lottery, Xiaojuan's confidence seems to be getting more and more, isn't this just in line with the law of Lao Zhang's lottery tickets? It must be getting closer and closer to winning the lottery.

When Xiaojuan was playing her numbers in front of the lottery machine again, a question suddenly came to mind. Ma Wu once analyzed that judging from the probability of Lao Zhang winning the first prize, it should not be difficult for him to win the grand prize, but he seems to be deliberately avoiding the grand prize, and he always chooses the wrong last number. Then you can try to find the last winning number.

Xiaojuan's heart was ecstatic, and she hurriedly called up all the lottery tickets that Lao Zhang had bought recently. Her idea is very simple, assuming that Lao Zhang doesn't know that he will win the lottery that period, and wants to avoid the grand prize, then the last number must be wrong. In Xiaojuan's memory, every time Lao Zhang bought a lottery ticket recently, the first six numbers were the same, and the last number often changed.

She looked carefully, and sure enough, as she judged, the final number appeared six different. Then after deducting these six numbers, the last number of the grand prize must be among the remaining thirty numbers. Xiao Juan turned her heart sideways, played thirty different mantissa numbers, and the front was exactly the same as Lao Zhang's number, and stuffed it into the pillow.

That week, Xiaojuan didn't know how she got over, she didn't think about tea and dinner, and she couldn't sleep. For a while, I was thinking about this windfall, how should I spend it, and I was worried about how she bought such a lottery ticket, if she won, one is twenty-nine first prizes with a special prize, isn't it too eye-catching?

That week, Lu Xiaojuan didn't win, but she still decided that when she bought it again in the next draw, she went to other lottery spots to buy it separately, so that it would not be so eye-catching. She ran all afternoon, went to seven or eight nearby lottery ticket sales outlets, bought all the tickets, and then began another round of anxious waiting.

Just a week ago, Lu Xiaojuan won the first grand prize in her life, as well as 29 first prizes, the grand prize was as high as 5 million, and the first prize money added up to more than 1 million.

But Xiaojuan's excitement about winning the lottery didn't last long, and before she even had time to think about how to tell Ma Wu, it disappeared. On the night of the day of the win, Ma Wu was on the door board of the small store, and Xiao Juan saw that there were no outsiders in the store, so she took out the small stack of lottery tickets from her bag, ready to enjoy the joy of winning the lottery with Ma Wu, but saw Lao Zhang hurriedly enter the store.

Lao Zhang's face was pale and gray, his eyes were distracted, and he was covered with bloodshots. As soon as he entered the door, he dragged Ma Wu aside and anxiously asked him if he had bought the same lottery ticket according to his lottery number, and the last number had been changed and he had won a special prize? Xiaojuan really can't understand how she copied Lao Zhang's lottery ticket by herself, and she didn't even tell Ma Wu, how could Lao Zhang know that she had won the prize? This is too unbelievable.

Of course, Ma Wu didn't know that Xiaojuan had done so many things behind his back, and he helplessly explained to Lao Zhang, but Lao Zhang didn't seem to believe it, but it seemed that there were some things that he couldn't say too clearly. After holding back for a long time, he said without a head and no brain, "Everyone in the world thinks that winning the grand prize is a great thing, but there are many people who understand the deep meaning? Ma Wu, if you really don't win, it is a great luck." If you do, you'll kill me. It's ridiculous to count all the mechanisms, and in the end I was counted to death by the organs. ā€

Lao Zhang left in a hurry after speaking, but seeing his distorted and somewhat distorted face, something big should have happened. Xiaojuan had been bluffed by Lao Zhang at this time, and hurriedly took out the small lottery ticket and told Ma Wu the original story of the previous incident. The two of them no longer had the heart to enjoy the joy of winning the jackpot, and fell into a dazed worry.

Ma Wu is still bigger-hearted in the end, although he complained that Lu Xiaojuan didn't discuss with himself, so he used Lao Zhang's number to buy lottery tickets, but he understood that the matter had come to this, and it was useless to reprimand Xiaojuan, and with his understanding of his daughter-in-law, this opportunity was in front of him, and it was strange that she didn't do it, so he simply enlightened her: "Teacher Zhang talks like this, either he can't kick a fart out of a few feet, or he says it for a long time, it's good to understand half of it, let's not think about it, it is estimated that Lao Zhang is angry or we use his number, which should be called infringement of intellectual property rights, right?" I'll go to him tomorrow, it's a big deal that we will share half of his winnings, and pay him the intellectual property fee. ā€

Early the next morning, Ma Wu went to the rented house of Lao Zhang in Yuying Hutong. But for some reason, as soon as the bicycle rode out of his alley, the chain broke in two, and he couldn't repair it for a while. Originally, it was more than ten minutes to ride a bicycle, and it took half an hour to wait for Ma Wu to walk over.

Lao Zhang's rented house is at the end of the alley, and there is a big locust tree at the gate of the courtyard that can only be hugged by three people, but it is easy to find. Ma Wu entered the courtyard and saw an aunt choosing vegetables in the courtyard, so she quickly asked her where Ma Wu lived. The aunt pointed to the east house and told Ma Wulao Zhang that he had just gone out ten minutes ago, and it was hard to say when he would come back.

But what Ma Wu saw from his aunt's eyes was vigilance and suspicion, and it seemed that the relationship between Lao Zhang and his neighbors was not harmonious.
