Chapter Seventy-Seven: Change of Hands
Li Nunu also felt strange, and couldn't help asking: "Shopkeeper Hu, what is a six-pronged approach!" ”
At this moment, the shopkeeper Hu was in a good mood, did not sell Guan Zi again, and said slowly: "Zhang Gongzi's speculation yesterday, the two county lords also heard it, Zhang Gongzi took the deck of pai gow used in yesterday's betting, and specially looked for someone to see it, as expected, the back of the card was coated with phosphorus powder. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoSo, Zhang Gongzi prescribes the right medicine and specially designed this six-pronged approach for them! ”
"Tell me more details!" Li Chiying became interested.
Shopkeeper Hu was about to speak, but he heard the gamblers downstairs cheering. Li Zhiying and Li Nunu looked down, it turned out that the first game was over, and Zhang Baoer, as the banker, killed three players.
"Don't say it, he really has a hand, and he won so easily!" Li Zhiying said with a radiant look.
Li Nunu didn't think so, she retorted: "Yingying, don't be too happy, those people can't cheat in the first game, and he can easily win them with his gambling skills." But then it was different, after they secretly coated the back of the card with phosphor, it was not so easy to win! ”
"That's right, the real battle starts in the second game!" Shopkeeper Hu agreed.
Li Zhiying looked at the gambling table, and sure enough, the three of them looked calm, and they didn't seem to care about winning or losing the first game at all.
Zhang Baoer is also quiet, yard cards, roll dice, and then deal cards.
Li Zhiying turned around again and asked, "Shopkeeper Hu, what did you say just now have a deep meaning, what is the deep meaning?" ”
Zhang Gongzi asked the little one to say those words, the purpose was very simple, it was to disturb their minds. You know, gambling pai gow is all on a 'stable' word, the mentality should be peaceful, if the mind is confused, the probability of error is great, and the master duel can not tolerate the slightest negligence! ”
It turned out that what the shopkeeper Hu said just now was to disturb the other party's mind and make their psychology change.
Li Zhiying and Li Nunu nodded in unison, the blue-shirted boy was indeed a little flustered just now, it seems that this trick has worked.
Li Nunu seemed to think of something, and asked again: "Shopkeeper Hu, you said that this is the second move of the six-pronged approach, so what is the first move?" ”
"The first move has actually been laid out a long time ago, but no one pays attention to it!" Shopkeeper Hu paused, and suddenly asked, "Two county lords, look at this hall, how is it different from yesterday?" ”
Li Zhiying looked at it carefully for a while, but she didn't see any difference from yesterday, so she could only shake her head blankly: "It's no different!" ”
Although Li Nunu saw the clue, he was not sure, and asked tentatively: "Shopkeeper Hu, this hall seems to be much brighter than yesterday!" ”
"Lord Jincheng has good eyesight!" Shopkeeper Hu stretched out his thumb: "Zhang Gongzi's first trick is to make this hall as bright as possible!" In the past, there were about 20 lamps in the hall, and today there are 70 large lanterns, which is naturally much brighter than usual! ”
"Why is that?" Li Zhiying asked curiously.
"Have the two county lords heard of the ghost fire?" Shopkeeper Hu asked suddenly.
On summer nights, blue-green flames often appear in the wilderness or near ancient cemeteries, looming and ethereal. There is a legend in the countryside that when a person dies, he becomes a ghost, and the ghost is afraid of the light, so he does not dare to come out during the day, and only appears at night. In graveyards or wilderness, sometimes at night there will be clusters of green or light blue flames, jumping and jumping.
Li Zhiying and Li Nunu nodded at the same time, they had indeed heard of the ghost fire.
"Actually, ghost fires are caused by phosphorus. The bones of animals in the countryside and the human bones in the graves contain phosphorus, and after the death of humans and beasts are buried in the ground, the corpses decay, and the phosphorus is gradually infiltrated into the soil after being scorched by the scorching sun and washed by rain and dew, and the temperature is high in summer, which will produce a faint blue-green light, but the sunlight is very strong during the day, and the ghost fire cannot be seen. ”
The two suddenly realized that the shopkeeper Hu had lit so many lanterns in the hall, in order to make the light stronger, and it would naturally be much more difficult for the cheating people to look at the phosphorus powder on the back of Pai Gow.
I didn't expect this Zhang Bao'er to have a lot of ideas.
At this time, two more hands were played on the table, and all of them were lost by the banker.
Seeing that Zhang Baoer was nothing more than that, the blue-shirted boy returned to his previous chic.
The gamblers couldn't help but shake their heads, it seems that the shopkeeper Hu is going to flash his tongue when he says a big thing, this Bao'er is just an embroidered pillow, which is useless.
Zhang Bao'er also patted her head in annoyance, and said to herself: "Why is this luck so stinky today?" ”
He looked around and shouted at the little guy: "Send two hand towels, I have to wipe these stinky hands and change my luck!" ”
A small servant came over and delivered two steaming towels. Zhang Baoer took the towel, didn't care about the heat, and wiped her hands vigorously, as if she really wanted to change her luck.
After wiping his hands, Zhang Baoer skillfully stacked Pai Gow, played the dice and began to split.
The middle-aged scribe who had been staring at the back of Pai Gow suddenly widened his eyes, only to see those faintly indistinguishable luminescent marks, after Zhang Baoer finished stacking the cards, one could not be seen clearly, and the phosphorus powder was erased!
At this moment, the middle-aged scribe was confused.
After Zhang Baoer finished dealing the cards, he casually matched his cards and looked at the three players with a smile.
The blue-shirted boy and the white-haired old man both looked at the middle-aged scribe, and with a small gesture from the middle-aged scribe, they could match cards. However, the middle-aged scribe did not make any action as if he had fallen into an evil spirit.
The blue-shirted boy knew that the situation was different, but he couldn't wait like this, so he had to stubbornly match the cards casually.
After the three players showed their cards, Zhang Baoer turned over his two sets of cards.
The gamblers exclaimed again: "The two big dealers, kill them all!" ”
"Hahaha!" Zhang Bao'er laughed proudly: "I'll just say, wiping your hands can change your luck!" Hurry up, prepare a few more hot hand towels for me, I'm going to kill all sides! ”
Li Zhiying didn't blink her eyes from beginning to end, but she didn't understand how Zhang Baoer easily won this game.
Li Nunu said thoughtfully: "Shopkeeper Hu, isn't that towel famous?" ”
"That's right, Zhang Gongzi's third trick is on this towel!" Shopkeeper Hu explained: "It is difficult to wipe off the phosphorus powder applied to the back of the card, but it is easy to wipe off when it is hot!" ”
The two understood, Zhang Baoer asked for a towel just now, saying that she wanted to wipe her hands and change her luck, but that was just a rhetoric, in fact, it was to wipe her hands with a hot towel and remove the phosphorus powder.
Remove the phosphorus powder, the other party has no means of cheating, with Zhang Baoer's gambling skills, it is too easy to win them.
"Wait!" Li Zhiying still didn't understand one thing, she asked the shopkeeper Hu: "Didn't you say that the phosphorus powder is not visible to ordinary people at all?" How does he know which card has phosphorus powder on it, and he can accurately remove the phosphorus powder, but he can't always pick all the cards, right? ”
"This is the fourth move!" Shopkeeper Hu smiled slightly: "Although Zhang Gongzi can't see the phosphorus powder, the friend he brought can see it, and it is his friend's certificate card with phosphorus powder on the back!" ”
"Where are his friends?" Li Zhiying searched among the onlookers.
"That's the bald head!" Shopkeeper Hu pointed.
