Chapter 44: A Deadly Gamble
Boss Hu sat in the middle, Ye Keting sat opposite him, and there were four people sitting next to them who entered the game at the same time. The rules of the www.biquge.info competition are that no one has a dice cup, and there are three dice in it. Each person shakes the dice cup, opens them one by one, and finally compares the size with the dealer. Before the entrance, the maid had already explained the rules, and there were eight martial arts masters standing in the eight directions next to the table, if they found that someone had changed the number of dice with internal force, then this person would be pulled to the back garden to make flower fertilizer.
At the beginning of the game, six maids stood behind the bettors with their dice cups. Under the arrangement of the player, the six people at the table placed bets separately, and of course, Ye Keting just put his hand on the table. At this time, the five people who bet began to shake the dice cup, and the room was full of noise for a while, and there was an uncle with only one hand, chanting the Buddha number while shaking. If the Buddha knew that you had come to gamble so much, he would give you three ones directly.
After the five of them had shaken, the dice cup was placed on the table. At this time, Hu Yi threw and began to shake the dice. I saw him with his eyes closed and a serious expression, one hand turned up and down and back and forth, and put the dice on the table with a "click". As his hand fell to the table, my heart tightened. Start from the left-hand side of Boss Hu and open the dice cups one by one.
The cheers of the big points are excited, and the faces of the low points are solemn. When it was Ye Keting's turn, I couldn't help but take a few steps forward and look at the points, the three dice were one, four and five. Fortunately, not the lowest. The two who opened the cup in turn were eleven o'clock and thirteen o'clock. Ye Keting is now in penultimate position.
When it was time for Boss Hu to open the cup, there was no sound in the audience. Everyone looked with bated breath, and some even stood up and looked at the dice in Boss Hu's hand. Ye Keting looked calm and indifferent, but I was not as away from the matter as he was, and my body had begun to tremble slightly when I stood in the shadows.
At this time, the person in charge shouted out Boss Hu's points: "Three, four, five, skewers." Twelve! “
I sat down in my chair as he shouted, losing strength in both legs. I'm trying to figure out how to do it now, but my mind goes blank. I took a few deep breaths and made up my mind, I can't let Ye Keting confess here, if not, just mortgage me to Hu Laoer, at least I can eat and drink here. But I don't know much about the aesthetics of the mountain, so I deeply doubt that it will be a waste of food to stay in my posture, and whether people are willing to exchange Ye Keting's hand.
Ye Keting looked back at me with a bloodless face, smiled softly at me, and told me with his mouth, "Don't be afraid."
I'm sorry Young Master Ye, I'm going to be scared to death.
A few people next to me saw that this game had no intention of entering the game, so I turned around and asked a one-eyed big brother: "Do you have to gamble when you enter the forest?" Can't we go now? “
The eldest brother sneered at me: "If you enter the Heavenly Forest, either you will win the sky yourself, or the three brothers of the Hu family will send you to heaven." There is no third option. Do you think the Jiangyang thieves who Lin Zi took in all ate white food? “
I told myself over and over again not to be afraid, to have hope until the last moment, that the wound that had been painful was no longer important, and that I had to keep pinching my arm to keep from fainting. The eldest brother next to me said that I was too wise, and it didn't hurt to chop my hands after pinching numbness for a while. If I had the strength, I would have slapped him.
The silver taels were allocated, and the second game began.
As soon as there was a noisy sound of shaking the dice, everyone placed their dice cups on the table. Ye Keting still has an expression of staying out of the matter, or I am more involved in the play, and I am about to foam at the mouth. The one-eyed brother next to him is still kind, and he helped me pinch the middle of the person to keep me awake. At this time, it was just in time for Ye Keting to open the dice cup, and there were fourteen o'clock on three, five, and six. His expression was calm, he couldn't see joy and anger, and he didn't have as many expressions and body movements as others, one of the big brothers who shook out sixteen points jumped out of his head and shook his tail, and the other big brother who shook out at five points would have split his legs if he didn't hold on to the table. Such a calm and calm Ye Keting really opened my eyes, and the man has a convincing charm when he is focused.
At this time, Boss Hu opened the dice cup, I stretched my sweaty palm, and only heard the person in charge shouting: "Three one, deflated three." ”
A burst of cheers erupted on the table, and the eldest brother who shook out five o'clock did not show bad legs, but was agile enough to pull his own color head. A hand came back, and I took a long breath and asked Ye Keting to come back. We've gambled, it's time to let us go. The one-eyed brother next to him said funny: "On the gambling table, the incense has not burned yet, who can come down." It's better to take advantage of Boss Hu's idea to be aggrieved at this time, let's go up too. After saying that, the rest of the people all walked up to the table with their gambling money.
I turned my head sideways and asked the maid waiting next to me, "Can you use your body as collateral?" The maid nodded, and I continued to ask her, "Then do you think my front teeth can gamble?" It looks neat, and when your master is older, he can also make dentures. The maid looked at me incredulously and shook her head. I beckoned her to step down, but don't block me.
This Ye Keting seemed to be thinking about something, and when he shook the dice for the third time, he looked extremely serious, his eyes were closed as if he was listening to the sound, and when everyone else put down the dice cup, Ye Keting was the last to put it down. This time, when everyone unveiled the cup one by one, Ye Keting's points ranked second, with a total of twelve points. Boss Hu opened the cup, a total of eleven o'clock. Narrowly win a game. A maid brought me a bottle of medicine and put it beside me. I said to her, girl, don't need this yet, you can bring me a bottle of fast-acting heart pills, my heart is going to jump to the table. Ye Keting won me a one-day trip to Zhongdu this time.
In the fourth game, Ye Keting still bet on his left hand. He closed his eyes and listened carefully when everyone shook their heads, and when everyone stopped, he shook the dice cup one by one, and I listened hard, and what I heard was "Bang, Bang". Well, my ears are blind.
Boss Hu looked at Ye Keting's careful appearance, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and his expression seemed to be appreciative. After Ye Keting put down the dice, Boss Hu smiled meaningfully, shook the dice quickly with his hand, slammed it on the table hard, and opened the dice cup, three sixes, days. The dealer closes the whole deal.
At this time, Ye Keting also smiled slightly, and he was not nervous. This kid has a big heart.
By the fifth game, the amount of money everyone invested was not much, and Ye Keting smiled and told the person in charge that he gambled on his left hand with his right hand. The person in charge took notes. I stood in the darkness behind Ye Keting and watched the candlelight shine on him, and there was a faint light on his body. I could see from me that his face was not good, a little pale, but his expression was not in a hurry, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth. Although I couldn't hold his palm, I knew that his palm must be warm and dry at this time.
At this moment, I felt a sense of pride in my heart, he fought confidently on his battlefield, he was so brave and powerful. Probably sensing my gaze, he cast a determined gaze in my direction. I smiled in return with my brightest appearance, and silently told him in my heart, even if you don't have your hands today, it doesn't matter, from now on you have me. I also saved the need to cut my nails, how good.
But laughing and laughing, my tears came out, but fortunately in the dark, he shouldn't be able to see it, and it wouldn't distract him.
At the beginning of the sixth game, Ye Keting was still discerning the voice, but this time he was much more skilled, and put down the dice cup a little earlier. Two, six, six, fourteen. The number of points is the highest in the hand. At this time, Boss Hu opened the dice cup, and at ten o'clock, five people won.
By the end of the seventh game, Ye Keting had already made a profit of thirty taels of silver. But in the next few games, although Ye Keting won, he only bet ten taels of silver each time, and when the other people's tables were already full of gold and silver, Ye Keting only won a hundred taels of silver.
In the next few rounds, the number of points that Hu Boss shook out in a row was high and low, and the points that were shaken out later were higher, and the last few games even shook out the number of days and places and the number of people, and a few people's gold and silver were about to be lost, and at this time Ye Keting's silver became one hundred and fifty taels.
At this time, the incense was about to burn out, and there were still two rounds left to end the game. I asked the maid for a fan, and fanned the wind back and forth, although it was far from the incense burner, but it was very useful.
Now the person on the game may not be very sober, in fact, he has just made a part of the profit, but there is no intention of stopping, and some people have begun to mortgage their hands and feet. As soon as Boss Hu opened the dice cup, he wailed, Ye Keting only lost ten taels of silver, while the others had already lost all their money, and one of them was about to lose a hand.
By the end of the game, everyone had gambled everything, and Ye Keting continued to bet ten taels of silver. As soon as the dice cup was opened, the one-eyed eldest brother even wanted to turn around and run, but Hu Laosan grabbed his shirt and fell with a knife in his hand, and both of his hands had been cut off. I quickly turned my head away from looking, but the howls of pain continued. I trembled slightly, and my heart was terrified. People who don't know the take-profit and stop-loss will never win.
Ye Keting packed up his profit of eighty taels of silver, got up and flicked his clothes and walked up to me, and said to me with a smile: "Now that I have eighty taels of silver, do you want to eat shredded chicken with lotus leaves or crab roe porridge?" I can buy it for you. ”
I looked at his handsome face and cried out with a "wow", crying miserably. He gently held me in his arms, gently touched my hair and said, "Frightened, isn't it okay?" Don't be afraid, it's all over. ”
I put my arms around his neck and whispered, "We're not going to go to the casino again, okay." ”
He nodded at me and said, "Okay, okay." Don't worry so much about you anymore. Don't cry, lest others see the joke. He wiped my eyes and rubbed my face.
I sniffed, smiled and whispered, "Then I want to eat wine-stuffed plums." He laughed and told me that he would buy me anything to eat when the wound was healed.
At this time, Ye Keting leaned over my ear and said softly: "I have never truly felt my responsibility and responsibility as a man like today. I can protect you and earn money to fulfill your little wishes. It's a feeling that makes me very proud. ”
I don't understand, dare to love for so many years, do you maintain a woman's tenderness and shyness?
