Chapter 13 Gambling Luck
"Huh." In Zhou Zining's four-person cabin, Yan Guang pushed down the card in front of him, and then stretched out his hand to Chen Yuguo. "Give money to money."
I don't know if my luck has changed after I crossed over, he originally played mahjong and rarely won money, he played with Zhou Zining and the three of them this time, and they actually won most of them, although because they just killed time, they all used small money, but Yan Guang actually won Zhou Zining and their more than 30 yuan.
"It's strange, when I used to play, I was obviously very lucky..."Chen Yuguo took out a dime of silver and threw it to Yan Guang with a frustrated face, originally he planned to win a little from Yan Guang, a rich man, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he lost all the military salaries of the three people for more than a month to Yan Guang.
"Thanks." Different from Chen Yuguo's sad face, Yan Guang took the silver coin with a smile, although there are not many silver horns, but for Yan Guang, who has never only lost money, he still has a sense of achievement.
"Let's see if you dare to play in the future." Looking at the expression on Chen Yuguo's face, Zhao Yu smiled.
I don't know why, the people who have lost money these days are Zhou Zining and Chen Yuguo, two mahjong enthusiasts, and Zhao Xuan, a person who doesn't like mahjong very much, not only did not lose money, but won a little.
It's not much, one silver dollar plus seven silver horns, but it is a few knots higher than the two unlucky guys Zhou Zining and Chen Yuguo.
"Forget it, don't play, don't play..."Chen Yuguo pushed the table away. Let's save the rest of the money when we get to Wuhan, there is still a long way to go. As he spoke, he pushed open the door and took a deep breath of the air outside.
Just three hours ago, the passenger ship had left Huanggang City, and it was not very far from Wuhan at the moment.
"Ah, in that case, I'll go back and pack up first, and we'll continue when we get to the ship in Hankow." As he spoke, he stood up.
After Yan Guang left the cabin, Zhou Zining, who had never spoken, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Phew, that guy is finally gone, hey, diploma, how much money do we have left?" In the past few days, he has lost him in fear, for fear that he will lose all the money he used to buy a ferry ticket in Hankou.
"Don't worry." Of course, Zhao knew what Zhou Zining was asking. "Although the two of you lost more than 30 yuan, the remaining money is enough for you to lose for a period of time on the road, in addition to buying ferry tickets."
"Alas..."Zhou Zining covered his forehead and sighed. I originally planned to make a little money from that kid, but I didn't expect that we put the old book in, and then from Hankou to Yucheng, hoping to win back a little. ”
"Maybe the surname is not very big, but it doesn't matter, can't you ask your uncle for some when you go back?"
"My dad? Forget it, if he knew that I was gambling with people on the boat, he would definitely kill me..."Thinking of his father, Zhou Zining shuddered.
"Me too, if that old guy in our family knew that I was gambling with people and had lost so much, he would have beaten me to death with his own hands..."Chen Yuguo also interjected.
"You can't blame anyone else, who told you to have such bad luck." Zhao didn't care much about it, after all, it was Zhou Zining and Chen Yuguo who lost the money this time, not himself. And these two people are the same as themselves, although they can't be regarded as a wealthy family, but at least the family is quite well-off, otherwise it is impossible to send the three of them to study in the military academy in Yuben.
"Hey, you say if I tell that old guy in my house that I lost the money, will he believe it?" Chen Yuguo, who was looking depressed, suddenly seemed to have been stimulated.
"What do you say?" Zhou Zining glanced at him.
"Yes, I definitely won't believe it..."Chen Yuguo collapsed again.
"It looks like we're going to have a hard time going to be..."
More than half an hour later, the ship arrived at Hankow. At this time, although Hankou was not as prosperous as Shanghai, it was second to none in China, and compared with Shanghai's mixed style, Hankou was more Chinese.
"This is Hankow?" As he spoke, Yan Guang glanced at the other side of the shore. "Then this is Wuchang, right?"
Looking at this noisy and peaceful city, Yan Guang could not connect him to the Xinhai Revolution that swept through China three years later.
"Wuchang Uprising..."Yan Guang leaned on the railing and looked at Wuchang on the other side of the boat. Three years later, on October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Uprising here would be the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution. ”
"It's a pity, I may have planned an uprising in Sichuan at that time, otherwise I would have really wanted to witness this moment with my own eyes..."
"But..."
"What happened on October 10, 1911 made all Chinese remember the Wuchang Uprising, and I, thirty years later, will let the whole world know my name..."
At this time, the passenger ship had just docked at the pier in Hankou.
――――――――――
After getting off the boat, Yan Guang met Zhou Zining and the three of them, and the four of them went to the ticket office together to ask if there was a ship to Yucheng. It turned out to be good, and now there is a ship bound for Yucheng docked in Hankow, but the ship will not leave until tomorrow, and if you want to board the ship, you will have to wait until the next day.
You can't leave on the same day, but it's a good idea to be able to board the next day.
Because the four of them planned to continue to play mahjong together on the road, they booked a ticket for a four-person room, and after booking the ticket, the four of them left the ticket office, booked a room in a hotel next to the port, and were ready to stay here for one night, and then left when the boat departed the next day.
Of course, on the night of the same day, the four of them still got together and rubbed more than a dozen times, and I don't know if Zhou Zining and Chen Yuguo were lucky, Zhao Wenbin's piece of silver yuan was won, not to mention, even Yan Guang lost five or six silver dollars in one night.
This battle reinvigorated the confidence of Zhou Chen and the others, who had been eroded a lot, and the two planned to win back all the money they had lost on the boat to Yucheng, but also to win that sum on Yan Guang's body.
By the morning of the next day, the four of them came to the port together. This time, the boat was more than 60 meters long, and it was a river ship with only one cabin, and it looked much more dilapidated.
"Let's go, let's go up."
After handing the ticket to the ticket inspector for inspection, the four men found their cabin on the boat.
The four-person room, although much smaller than the previous passenger ship, as long as it is convenient for four people to play mahjong together, this problem is nothing.
