Chapter 178: Knowing and Stopping
I narrowed my eyes and said, "Am I not choosing?" “
"I'll at least have to think about which one to play." I put the fan away.
Picking a table, I squeezed out of the crowd and watched the people at the table push pai gow.
Cui'er bumped my arm and said, "Girl wants to play this?" ”
I shook my head, pointed to a roe deer-headed man sitting at the table, and said to Cui'er in a low voice, "This person may be from the casino." ”
"How can you tell?" Cui'er asked me with wide eyes.
"This is a secret, let's not talk about it yet." I sold it and whispered to Cui'er, "But don't worry, I definitely won't play this, the silver in your purse is still very safe for the time being." ”
"I can see that the cat is tired of it, and I still go to play, is my girl so stupid?" Cui'er smiled back at me.
"You've seen all the front halls of the casino, which one are you going to play?" Cui'er scratched her head.
"Cui'er, in fact, I don't like the gameplay here, but I've seen people fighting cocks in the Flame Country, and I think it's quite interesting."
"That's not good," Cui'er shook her head, "The sea country where the Lord came up, there is a fresh way to play there, which is unique to the local area. ”
"Oh?" I became interested, turned my head and suddenly asked, "What kind of gameplay are you talking about, let me hear it." ”
Cui'er's lips moved, and suddenly a sly smile appeared on her face and said: "You tell the slave how you can see that the person who pushes pai gow is the casino's own, and the slave will tell you about that fresh way of playing." ”
"Then forget it, I'll ask my senior brother for myself another day." I looked at Cui'er happily.
"Childe. Childe, "Suddenly someone next to me pulled my sleeve, and when I looked at it, wasn't it the little guy who greeted me at the door just now or which one?"
"Is there something wrong?" I looked at him with a frown. I don't know how to collect the benefit fee, and I'm still bothering me at this time.
The little guy smiled all over his face and said to me sincerely: "Childe, are you a newcomer and are not familiar with the gameplay here, do you want to recommend it for you." ”
I'm happy in my heart, and I dare to treat me like an old hat.
But that's fine, so I looked at him and asked, "Tell me which one is easier for me to play." ”
"This one is the easiest, look over there." The little guy raised his hand and clicked on a large table placed on the east side of the front hall, and there were several circles of people around him. He was shouting loudly.
"Over there. Easiest. It's about betting on the size and shaking the dice. ”
"That's the fastest way to win."
The little guy winked at me after he finished speaking. Obediently stepped aside.
Cui'er interjected and said, "It's quite discerning." ”
"Where, I'm afraid that the two of us won't understand anything, so we will go out in a circle, and then the casino won't be able to earn our money." I knocked my hand with a fan and said, "Since everyone has said it, why don't we go play that one." ”
"It's the easiest, bet on the big and small."
"Win fast, lose fast."
Cui'er grabbed me and said, "Let's talk about it first, the slave doesn't have much money in her purse, so you can bet when you see it." ”
I looked at Cui'er strangely and asked, "When you go out." Didn't the steward prepare enough money for you? “
"Why are you crying with me again now?"
Cui'er looked at me helplessly and said, "How can anyone go out and bring so much silver on them." “
"Besides, to come to this casino, it was also a whim for you to walk on the road."
"I got here with the people who were making a fuss."
"If you don't prepare in advance, how can you carry a lot of silver with you?"
"So do you say that all the money that the steward has prepared for you is in the inn?" I looked at Cui'er suspiciously and asked.
"yes, it's all in the inn." Cui'er replied to me clearly.
I was stunned and said, "Is that safe?" “
"Why is it not safe, there is a taxi driver in the inn to guard the door for us, besides, the silver is not in the baggage." Cui'er said confidently.
"You girl, where did you come from so many weirdness, where else can you put it if you don't put it in your baggage."
"It's a secret, too." Cui'er grinned.
"Then show me how much silver you have in your purse." I looked at Cui'er with some hesitation.
She took out her purse and counted: "Plus the silver ticket, and some broken silver, about a hundred taels." “
"That's enough." I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We can't compare to those gentlemen, it's a few hundred taels when we make a shot, and besides, I'm also a little play." “
Following the crowd to the gambling-sized table, Cui'er walked up, pushed a few people away, and made a small place for me to come out.
On the other side of the table, a chubby middle-aged man in his forties with a goatee was shaking the sieve.
"Bet on, bet!" With the young man's shouting, I took out fifty taels of silver from Cui'er's purse and put it on the table.
Goatee smiled and said, "You don't bet any more." “
I shook my head, lightly pressed my hand on the table, and said, "It's fifty taels." “
The goatee grabbed the cup and shook it lightly, and I could hear the dice hitting the cup.
After a few shakes, he quickly pressed the cup to the table.
"Childe, are you betting big and small?"
I thought for a moment and said without hesitation, "Great." “
He grabbed the fifty taels of silver in his hand and gave it to the dealer.
The dealer's face changed, and he slowly opened the cup, and it was really big!
"Good luck!" I laughed and took the money back to myself.
The second round began, and the goatee shook the copper cup again, and before long, pressed it on the table.
"This time, Childe, are you betting big and small?" He looked at me with a little apprehension in his eyes.
I pondered for a moment and said, "It's still big." “
With that, I pushed the hundred taels of silver out.
The dealer's face was stunned, and his expression was a little confused.
Slowly open the cup, and sure enough. It's still big!
This time, before I could take action, Cui'er had already gone up to get the silver with a smile.
Seeing that the dealer was about to shake it for the third time, I got up and left.
The crowd of onlookers was a little commotion, and the dealer who was shaking the dice behind him put down the copper cup in his hand and shouted, "Childe." You go on. “
As soon as he finished speaking, the same guy who had led me and Cui'er into the gambling hall earlier, and the same person who led me to the gambling table, stepped forward in three steps and two steps to stop me and Cui'er.
He smiled and said, "Childe, you have such good luck today, why don't you play a few more games, maybe you can make a lot of money." “
I raised my hand and smiled: "I haven't thought about it, but there is a good saying, it's only three things, and I've already won twice." Tonight's trip to the casino. It's worth it. “
"Cui'er." I called out to her and said, "Give him some more money." “
…… All the way out of the gambling house, Cui'er followed me silently.
I watched her a few times. Finally, he asked out loud, "Do you have something to say?" “
"No," Cui'er sighed, "I just didn't expect that." “
"I didn't expect that the posture I went in was to gamble all night, but I only played twice and came out?" I asked her with a smile.
"That's right, besides, your luck is so good, why don't you renew it a few times?" Cui'er whispered to me.
"Plan and then act, know and stop."
"This principle applies not only to the war situation, but also to the casino."
"Cui'er, do you know? Many of those who visit the casino will win at the beginning, so they will not be satisfied and will win again and again. ”
"The more you sink, the higher the possibility of losing your family and bankrupt in the future."
"So I want to say that it is a smart person to accept it when it is good."
Cui'er looked up at me, but her footsteps stopped.
I walked a short distance, glared back at her, and said, "What are you still doing, hurry back to the inn." ”
Cui'er silently followed, I remembered the conversation with her just now, and said with a complaining tone: "You put all the money in the inn, let the driver watch it for us, and I don't know if it's safe or not." “
"You are really relieved, don't ordinary people take valuable things with them when they go out?"
"What if it's stolen in an inn?"
"What should I do if I take it with me and get robbed?" Cui'er replied to me angrily.
"Tell me to choose, I'm sure I'll still put it on my body."
"That's because you don't know where I hid the silver, you know, don't say that, it's safe."
"You say, say it, where are you hiding?"
"I told you, what should I do if the other people on the street heard it and came to follow us and rob us?"
The two of them rubbed their tongues against each other and walked all the way back to the inn where they lived.
…… Turning into the street where the inn was located, I looked up at the bright light from the window and saw clearly that there was a light in the room where we were staying.
"Looks like he's not back yet." I sighed in disappointment, and my footsteps slowed for a moment.
Although I didn't say it explicitly, I always had that expectation in my heart, hoping that when I returned at night, he would have returned.
Maybe, maybe, we can see each other again.
Looking in at the entrance of the inn, there were two young men sleeping on the table in the lobby.
Hearing footsteps, one of the young men rubbed his sleepy eyes and quickly got up to meet him.
I still had that hope in my heart, and asked aloud: "Has the boy who lives next door to me upstairs come back?" “
The young man shook his head and said, "No, I've been guarding here, I just accidentally fell asleep, and I haven't seen anyone else come back." “
I lowered my head in disappointment and stood there for a few moments, until Cui'er pushed my arm and I didn't react.
"Let's go up first." I replied sullenly.
Lifting my feet up the wooden stairs, I changed my mind and said to Cui'er, "It's better for you to go up and sleep first, I want to stay in the shop for a while." “
The little guy closed the window and dropped the lock.
I watched Cui'er go upstairs, my eyes turning to the door leading to the backyard, the curtain hanging above it shaking slightly.
My heart moved, and I walked through the door and walked briskly to the backyard.
