After He Xiaojun and the others got on the boat, it was actually not time to sail the boat.

Because, at that time, the passengers on the boat were basically some vendors, and they would come to the boat with a lot of goods, so the passenger station let the passengers board the ship half an hour in advance, so that the passengers had time to sort out and place their luggage and goods.

He Xiaojun and the others had no other luggage except for a few changes of clothes, so after they got on the boat and put down their luggage, they had nothing to do.

Most of the passengers who have been on the ship are basically people who are used to sitting on the boat, and they didn't spend much effort to dispose of their belongings, and like He Xiaojun and them, they were idle waiting for the boat to start.

At this time, several unusual people came to the cabin.

said that these people were different, because they were wearing a placket Tang suit that was only worn by hooligans in those years, and they also had a five-fifty hair on their heads that was only combed by hooligans at that time, so that people could know that this group of people were gangsters at a glance.

The men walked to the open space in the middle of the cabin and stopped, placed a piece of horse dung paper with the numbers 1, 2, and 3 written on the deck, and then out of it came an elf-looking bastard, took out three bamboo tubes and a dice from his pocket, and set up a game on the deck.

After the gangster who presided over the gambling game with a bamboo tube explained the rules of gambling and made several demonstrations, the gambling game was opened.

After the gambling game opened, two people who were also on the boat first approached and watched.

Seeing someone approaching, the gangsters who set up gambling encouraged the two to bet and try their luck.

The gamble of these gangsters is the kind of gamble that covers one dice with three cones. This kind of gambling is a gambling method, which is to let the dice move between several cylinders, and when the dice are finished, let the gambler guess which one the dice are in, and win if they guess, and lose money if they guess.

This kind of gambling, in addition to using blindfolding methods or flexible techniques to make people unable to see the position of the dice, is to rely on "thousands" to eat, through their own people who "act as matchmakers", to lure people who do not know the truth and are greedy for money into the game, and then rely on deception, coercion and other means to plunder the money of these gamblers.

He Xiaojun, a person who came from the era of information explosion, of course knows the mystery of this "thousand games", and of course he knows that the two gamblers who are betting are the accomplices of the gangsters who set up the game, and they are doing the "matchmaker" that lures people, so of course he will not be fooled, just with the mentality of watching the excitement, watching those people perform a one-man show.

Seeing the scene in front of him, He Xiaojun couldn't help but think of the time when he took a boat to Guilin at this wharf to travel to Guilin with the members of the workshop, and he also encountered such a scene.

At that time, the way of gambling and gambling is similar to the current one, the difference is that the people who set up the gambling game are more willing to pay the cost, they got on the boat halfway, and then put a stop on the gambling game to get off the boat, than today's people who set up the gambling game, under the cost of a ferry ticket.

That time, among He Xiaojun and his group, there was a person who had no social experience, and when they watched, fortunately, He Xiaojun and their people traveled that time, and after everyone stood up when they saw this, the group had to give up, so that He Xiaojun and their many accomplices avoided the disaster of breaking their wealth.

He Xiaojun never imagined that he would go back to more than half a century ago, and so coincidentally encounter the same scene in the same scene and in the same place.

It can also be seen that the gambling style of the Chinese people really does not distinguish between the times.

Just when He Xiaojun was immersed in the memories and emotions of the past, it was even a coincidence that he met, even this time, someone couldn't help but call out the number, and the person who spoke out was also the person who walked with him.

The person who called out the number was Situ Meiqian.

It turned out that after the two "matchmakers" pretended to win a few games, they saw that no one was fooled, so they deliberately slowed down the pace, increased the stakes, and continued to win to lure people into being fooled.

The passengers of this boat are all old birds, so the gambling game has been set up for a while, and several people who set up the game shouted hoarsely, and cooperated with the gamblers who "matched" to perform hard, fiddling for a while, but still no one entered the game.

When the gangsters saw this situation, they used the method of agitation, saying that the people on the boat were all stupid and cowardly, and they either couldn't see through this simple game, or they didn't have the courage to play it.

When this group of people was excited, they also deliberately slowed down the speed of the dice movement, so that everyone could clearly see which dice were in which tube.

Situ Meiqian, who had never encountered such a situation and was bored, couldn't help but speak out in order to prove that she was not a stupid person under the agitation.

Situ Meiqian's voice hit the hands of that group of people, and that group immediately forced her to bet.

Of course, Situ Meiqian believed in her eyes, and she was not convinced that the group of people said that they were cowards, and after she asked this group of people to bet at least a piece of ocean, she bet a piece of ocean on the number she fancied.

The result of Situ Meiqian's bet made her stunned, and she obviously saw the dice covered by the bamboo tube of that number, which disappeared as if it had given birth to a foot, and the uncovered bamboo tube was empty.

The group of people who won a piece of the ocean, saw a "water fish", of course, they wanted to bring more benefits, they hurriedly said to Situ Meiqian: "Miss, this time you look away, see if you go down again, you will win." It's coming, it's right. ”

After a few people finished speaking, they slowly covered the dice at a speed that could be seen clearly by the naked eye.

This time, Situ Meiqian stared at the dice without blinking, and when the person who was fiddling with the bamboo tube stopped, Situ Meiqian bet on the number she was looking at again. This time, she placed a bet of two oceans.

The psychology of gamblers is like this, if they lose, they always want to win back as soon as possible, and Situ Meiqian, a "gambler", is no exception.

The result of this game still made Situ Meiqian stunned, because she still lost.

After the start of the third game, Situ Huaibi on the side stopped being unconvinced and wanted to continue to bet Although Situ Huaibi, who had not been in China for a long time, did not see through the tricks of this gambling game, but he was rich in social experience, but he knew that there must be something strange in it, otherwise, he was also clear about the number he liked, how could he be blind?

In the third game, Situ Meiqian listened to her father's words and did not bet again. But unconvinced, she muttered to herself in a low voice: Obviously she saw it clearly, how could it change? Just like this plate, it should be No. 2, will it change?

Although Situ Meiqian's muttering was not loud, it was heard by the group of people who set up the bureau, and they said to Situ Meiqian: "You said No. 2, how much do you bet?" ”

"I'm just guessing privately, I'm not betting anymore."

"Hey, what's the matter, you have to bet when you call it out."

"I didn't say bet, what bet?"

As soon as Situ Meiqian finished speaking, three or four of the group walked out and forced them in front of her, and one of the leading thugs threatened her viciously: "Little girl, our rule is to bet if you call the number, if you break the rules, don't blame us for being unkind to you." ”

When Situ Meiqian wanted to refute, Situ Huaibi next to her stopped her again, and said to her calmly: "Ah Qian, then make another bet." ”

Situ Meiqian, who was unconvinced, had to listen to her father, and said reluctantly: "Then I'll buy a piece of Dayang No. 2." ”

"Hey, you just doubled up, how can you bet so little in this game? This bets you have to go down at least four oceans. The leading thug spoke again.

Situ Meiqian, who was already unconvinced, couldn't help but shout: "How can there be such a rule? How much is my freedom. ”

"That's our rule."

"Hey, this gentleman, how can there be such a rule? It's a big casino, which one is not all free betting? Besides, you didn't explain it just now. This time, it was Situ Huaibi who couldn't help it.

"What's the matter with you, old man? If you speak up, you won't be polite. The leading gangster finished yelling at Situ Huaibi, and then threatened Situ Meiqian: "You can't bet? If we don't, we're going to punish you, the one who broke the rules. ”

The other party's carriage and horses that have been made clear are coming to force it, even Situ Meiqian, who is used to being rude in the family, and she doesn't dare to speak out anymore, she is afraid that her father will be guilty because of herself.

Just when Situ Meiqian was about to hand over the number of silver dollars that this group of people said, a voice sounded next to her: "Hey, everyone is out to mix, don't do things so desperately, you have already won a few silver dollars, let others go." ”

Seeing that a lot of wealth was in hand, at this time, an ignorant person ran out to stop their good deeds, so how could this gang of gangsters not be annoyed? They all turned to the man who had spoken up and turned their vicious gaze at him.

The leading gangster put on a fierce and vicious appearance, and warned those who dared to speak out against their good deeds: "Hey, you dare to care about our affairs, and the person who spoke out was not frightened, he continued to say: "There are also rules for coming out to mix, and cheating money can also be said to be greedy for the deceived person, and should be punished, but your current behavior is already a robbery, isn't this a violation of the rules in the road?" ”
