Chapter 98: The gambling predator
Lin Xiaojin became gentler and said with a smile: "Then you can't rely on robbery." You robbed that old woman of her money, what should she do? ”
The little boy said with certainty: "I have already thought about this." As long as I win, I'll keep the eight dimes for white sneakers, and I'll pay back the rest, I promise...... Lie to you being a puppy! As he spoke, the little boy looked at Lin Xiaojin innocently, but his dirty face couldn't hide his transparent and clear eyes.
Lin Xiaojin nodded, and in the eyes of the little boy, he clearly read "sincerity". He believed. At this time, even if he knew that the little boy was lying to him, he would be willing to be deceived. Don't look at him as a poor man, but once he believes in something, he will stick to it without hesitation.
Lin Xiaojin glanced at the bowl that the little boy was holding, originally five or six cents, but now he has lost only two points. He looked at the little boy gently, and then asked softly, "Do you want to win the money back?" ”
The little boy nodded firmly.
"Do you want to buy white sneakers?" Lin Xiaojin continued to ask.
The little boy didn't answer, he seemed a little unconfident. After betting for so many rounds, the little boy also felt that it was almost impossible to win the eight dimes.
Lin Xiaojin gently patted the little boy's face and smiled: "Don't worry, as long as you listen to me, I promise to help you win a pair of white sneakers." ”
The little boy looked at Lin Xiaojin in disbelief.
Lin Xiaojin stretched out his right index finger, middle finger and ring finger, and then said, "Now you help me place a bet, and I will be in charge of commanding." Which cup to get down to, you have to look at my gesture completely. I stretch out my index finger and you bet on the cup on the left, I stretch out my middle finger and you bet on the middle one, and I stretch out my ring finger and you bet on the right one, understand? ”
The little boy was quite clever and apparently understood. But he hesitated, refusing to move.
Lin Xiaojin had no choice but to scare him: "If you don't listen to me, I'll tell your mother about your money robbery and gambling now!" ”
"Don't, don't!" The little boy was obviously poked in the "soft underbelly" by Lin Xiaojin, and while waving his hands, he obediently returned to the gambling pile.
Lin Xiaojin deliberately found a position far away from the little boy, for fear of being seen by the "cap". The reason why he didn't go out to bet on his own was because he was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the "cap". After all, he is a sixteen-year-old high school student, and if he wins money in a row, it will inevitably not attract the attention of the "cap".
Lin Xiaojin happened to stand behind the "cap", so that the "cap" would not see him at all, but the little boy could easily see his gestures.
At this time, the number of adults watching gambling is getting bigger and bigger, and the money bet is getting more and more. In each game, the total amount of money on the white cloth has reached three or four yuan.
Lin Xiaojin couldn't help but smile. Because the more money on the white cloth, the easier it is to cover up his "predator". So, he finally made a move. He glanced quietly at the little boy, then extended his right index finger.
The boy didn't know how much to bet, so he bet the last two cents in the bowl on the first teacup.
Sure enough, the cap repeats its old trick, and the dice appear under the teacup that is most beneficial to him. And this teacup is the one the little boy bets on. The little boy was a little excited. The two cents in his bowl immediately turned into four cents. The little boy couldn't help but look up and smile at Lin Xiaojin, revealing teeth missing two front teeth, and at first glance he looked like a child who was changing his teeth.
Lin Xiaojin also smiled slightly, and then stretched out his middle finger towards him.
The little boy understood, and immediately bet all the four cents in front of the teacup in the middle.
Not surprisingly, four cents became eights.
The little boy smiled at Lin Xiaojin again.
Lin Xiaojin didn't laugh this time. He was afraid that others would see something. Moreover, in order to hide people's eyes, the posture of his fingers began to change, scratching his head with his middle finger for a while, and clasping his ears with his ring finger for a while......
The only constant is that the money in the little boy's bowl is constantly doubling. In just six rounds, the money in the little boy's bowl was already two cents and eight cents.
The little boy glanced at Lin Xiaojin excitedly, as if to say, "Enough is enough, I can buy white sneakers." ”
Lin Xiaojin understood what the little boy meant, and thought: "Big brother", you have earned enough money to buy white sneakers, but after removing the money you paid for shoes, the rest is less than one piece, how can I go back to pay the errand if you let the "little brother". So he winked at the boy and motioned for him to continue.
Lin Xiaojin has a very strong sense of time, although he doesn't know what time it is now, he can clearly perceive it: in less than five minutes, he will be teleported home. He secretly congratulated himself on his luck, it seems that his character is good, and the time is just enough! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but make a grimace at the little boy.
However, something happened that was joyful and sad. Just when Lin Xiaojin was grimacing, he subconsciously glanced at the white cloth, calculated a little in his heart, and habitually stretched out his right middle finger towards the little boy. However, the moment he stretched out his middle finger, he already realized that he was wrong, and secretly shouted in his heart, "Not good!" ”
But it was too late, and the little boy was also proficient. As soon as Lin Xiaojin's middle finger was halfway extended, he already understood, and without thinking, he bet all the money in the bowl - one yuan, two dimes and eight cents in front of the cup in the middle.
And this time, it was indeed Lin Xiaojin who got carried away. With his intelligence, he should have realized that it was indeed the cup in the middle that was in the best interest of the "cap" before the little boy did not bet. If the little boy didn't have much money to bet, the "cap" iron would have repeated the same trick of stuffing the dice under the cup in the middle.
But now, the little boy already has one yuan and two dimes and eight cents in his hand, which is already a huge amount of money for this street gambling stall. When the dollar and two corners are bet in front of the middle cup, the middle cup becomes unfavorable to the "cap". If the dice are really under the cup in the middle, the "cap" will lose a lot of money.
The right thing to do is to take out half of the money and bet it, so that the balance is not upset. But by this time it was too late, and the little boy's money had already been put in a white cloth, and it was impossible to get it back.
At this time, Lin Xiaojin was embarrassed. Don't think he can pause time, or he can force the dice inside the sleeve of the "cap" under the teacup in the middle of the little boy's bet. However, Lin Xiaojin understands that as long as he takes the dice out of the sleeve of the "cap", the "cap" will definitely notice it.
