The 'big horn' on the roof of the 'Iron Blood Regiment' organ had just sounded the lights-out horn, and it was at nine o'clock in the evening, Guo Xiaosong followed the deputy squad leader, and another comrade-in-arms of the same year, and the three of them walked straight to the doorman.

The deputy squad leader is the sentry commander on duty, he can enter the mailroom to warm up, Guo Xiaosong and his comrades-in-arms finished handing over guns and fur coats to the people in the previous shift, and they stood at the gate of the regiment one by one.

Compared with the soldiers who usually 'stand sentry', they will face and chat at night, Guo Xiaosong is different, as soon as he stands on his own sentry post, he will not say a word, no matter how cold the cold winter wind is, he will stand there motionless.

"I've been standing on the whistle with you for almost a year, you're really boring, I usually see that you can speak in the vernacular, why do you deflated eggplant at night!" 'Facing his fellow soldiers-in-arms, he kept shivering in place, and although he was wearing a fur coat, it seemed that he still felt cold, and 'Eight Steps' was swaying back and forth on his chest.

This is not the first time this person has ridiculed himself, Guo Xiaosong does not pay attention, only at night, he feels that he is a 'sentinel', because he is a person who loves the night, the opposite side of the regiment gate is the street, the opposite side of the street is the residential area, the scene of thousands of lights, and his hometown A city is very similar, Guo Xiaosong's hand is stuck on the 'eight steps', although there are only three empty shells in his gun, and there are no live ammunition, but he still thinks that his responsibility is heavy.

The veteran who won the money not long ago also rushed to the doorman at some point, he first walked into the mailroom and chatted with the 'sentry chief', and then walked to the sentry opposite Guo Xiaosong, "Give me the gun, you go in and warm up for a while, it's about to be demobilized, and I want to stand at the end of the sentry." ’

Because they were all veterans of the same company, and they were kind enough to change themselves, the sentries gladly untied their guns and fur coats. Hung on the veteran's body, 'My sentry is long, I have more than two, if you can't stand it anymore, knock on the mailroom glass and call me!' ’

After looking at Guo Xiaosong for more than ten minutes, the veteran finally spoke, "I said that there is something wrong with you, there are two points in one shift, you can't move,"

Guo Xiaosong still ignored him. Two hours may be a long time for others, but for Guo Xiaosong, this time flies quickly, because Guo Xiaosong likes the dark night, and he really can't sleep when he goes back early.

The veteran walked to Guo Xiaosong's side, "Brother, it's okay, I heard that you want to go home during the Spring Festival." Have you saved enough money? ’

Seeing that others came to him, Guo Xiaosong had no choice but to speak, otherwise he thought that he was too proud as a recruit and disrespected the three-year veteran. "If you don't have enough money, you can lend me some." ’

Say, "How much do you want, brother, I have money." Five hundred and one thousand, I can still afford it,' the veteran saw Guo Xiaosong speak. He looked at the two men in the mailroom, then stood back in his place.

'You have money that is yours, I don't want to borrow, I have to pay you back if I borrow,'

Of course I borrowed it to pay it back, but I'm not in a hurry, I'm like this, I see you kid playing cards and two brushes, can you tell me, why just now 'Zakin Flower', everyone else loses, you win? ’

"You're embarrassed to ask me, you can't be seen by others, it doesn't mean that everyone is a fool," Guo Xiaosong said disdainfully.

'You can see what I'm doing?' I don't see it, you still have this hand, let's be honest with you, I don't even see it myself. ’

'Come on, you, you wash and wash half a stack, the other half stack is in your hand at all, although it is cross-washed, but you wash four in a row, and wash back, you have the ability to wash three for me to try! 'For the observation of things, Guo Xiaosong is born keen, this is not acquired, just like fighting with the opponent, you can see the direction and position of the opponent's punch, it proves that you have won half of the victory, although the veteran's card skills are superb, if you want to win money, you must get a thousand talents, Guo Xiaosong also sees this, every time the veteran is issued a big card for himself, Guo Xiaosong will not follow, only others have given up, they have full certainty, and dare to confront the veteran.

'You love to play in the place, don't you?' After a while, the veteran spoke again.

"I didn't win money by playing, but I can tell," Guo Xiaosong still wanted to talk to the veteran about the exchange of poker skills.

"I haven't played any money, I will win as soon as I play, you kid is really a genius, so let's have a chance to join forces and go to other companies, now most of the people we even have no money, just win and know, I'm embarrassed," the veteran's intention is obvious, he plans to reach a consensus with Guo Xiaosong, and the two of them will fight together. ’

I don't want to go, it's not really good to win money, if we don't make trouble, we can still chatter." ’

"Don't make a thousand people win money, jokes, I said Guo Xiaosong, are you kid sick, you don't want the money sent to the door, okay, I don't like to talk to you anymore, let's talk about it later," the veteran saw that Guo Xiaosong pretended to be serious, and he stepped forward to knock on the doorman's glass to hand over the shift, and he could stand outside for a while in this winter, but it was quite cold before.

The next morning, the company was still free time, and not even a platoon commander could be found in the company, because they all wanted to take advantage of this hard-won opportunity to do their own private affairs.

The neighbors of the seventh company are the eighth and ninth companies, Guo Xiaosong is in these two companies, and there are also fellow soldiers of the same year.

Came to the Eighth Company first, as soon as he entered the dormitory of the fellow, Guo Xiaosong saw at a glance the veteran who won the money yesterday, and he was also here at this time, it seems that he is engaged in his 'side business', the dime in front of him, the gross ticket of two cents and five cents, has been piled up into a hill, as soon as he saw Guo Xiaosong come in, he shouted, 'Didn't you say you couldn't come, what's the matter, is your hands itchy and addicted.' ’

The fellow pulled Guo Xiaosong to his bunk and sat down, "He is your company." ’

'yes, what's wrong?' ’

"Win the old money, this kid is amazing, I lost him more than a dozen yuan just now," the fellow is the same as Guo Xiaosong, he is a recruit, and his monthly allowance is only thirty-five yuan.

"You wait, I'll help you win it back," Guo Xiaosong came to the card game, found a stool and sat down.

I knew it. You kid can't let go of this thing, isn't it very good now, just in the past few days, the veteran has been demobilized, if you want to play again, the company commander and instructor won't let it, today it's two cents, Guo Xiaosong, do you have enough money, 'while washing the poker. While beckoning the players to place bets.

Guo Xiaosong won several hands in a row, because of the good cards, he was very careful, basically the big bets were won, until he won 20 yuan.

"Look at it, my comrades-in-arms can treat you, old squad leader, you have to take it easy, it's really not good to change someone to be a banker." The fellow watched the battle behind Guo Xiaosong, and as soon as Guo Xiaosong held a good card, his mouth couldn't be closed.

This dormitory is also two demobilized veterans, before Guo Xiaosong came. They lost a lot, and when they saw that Guo Xiaosong was also winning, they didn't bet anymore, and they watched.

Why don't you all go down?" Then Guo Xiaosong, it's just the two of us, are you still here? The veteran thought it was boring to fight alone with Guo Xiaosong.

'Komatsu. Do it with him, what do you do with him, don't you win him,' the fellow instigated Guo Xiaosong to bet on the side.

Guo Xiaosong threw two cents, 'One-to-one, one-to-one, deal cards.' ’

The veteran didn't rush to deal the cards, "Let's play two cents, isn't this too small, you won a lot of money yesterday, why don't we play bigger?" ’

'It's okay to play big, but I'll have to be the banker,' Guo Xiaosong thinks it's really bottomless to let your opponent deal cards.

"You're really sharp, okay, the poker is for you," the veteran handed the poker in his hand to Guo Xiaosong's hand.

Washing the playing cards in his hand, Guo Xiaosong looked very proud, he looked at the audience around him, and said to the veteran, "Then you say, let's play how big." ’

"How about five yuan, a hundred yuan cap, I know you're amazing, it's not our two style to play small!" The veteran stuffed the gross ticket in front of him as he stuffed it into his pocket.

Putting down the poker and looking at his pocket, Guo Xiaosong said, "I have more than 200 yuan in my pocket, is five yuan too much?" ’

"It's not fun to be small, if you don't want to play, I'll go, there are still a lot of people waiting for me," the veteran had taken off his shoes and was ready to wear them now.

'Okay, five dollars is five dollars, you can play the cards,' Guo Xiaosong took out the five-yuan bill from his pocket and threw it on the shop.

The veteran also threw five dollars into it, and when he saw that the cards dealt to him seemed to be very small, he said that he didn't say anything, and directly buckled them, which showed that he had admitted defeat.

Guo Xiaosong received the bottom money to himself, and the two five-yuan pieces were stacked together, 'Are you still coming?' ’

'Of course it's coming, let's play, five dollars,' the veteran threw another five dollars in.

The second Guo Xiaosong won again, in short, back and forth, both of them were very cautious, at most they lost a bottom, so many cards, Guo Xiaosong won more and lost less, and soon won sixty or seventy yuan.

'It seems that you are really my nemesis, I don't believe it, you win, this time I don't look at the cards, I don't do it,' the veteran sweat broke down on his face, and the audience around him was also very nervous.

The other party does not look at the cards, does not touch the cards, is a double bet, Guo Xiaosong for this kind of fair betting, has always been the comer does not refuse, only to see him said, 'You are bored and I am bored, you are ten yuan, then I will also play ten yuan. ’

'Twenty more don't look at the cards, Guo Xiaosong, do you follow or not! ’

'Of course you follow, who are you scaring about,' the bet between the two soon reached its peak, a hundred dollars.

"Look at it, I don't have zero in my pocket, this is a hundred yuan whole ticket, I'll get back one hundred," the veteran asked Guo Xiaosong to look at his pocket, and with Guo Xiaosong's nod and agreement, he replaced the gross ticket.

'Let's turn it over,' said the veteran, and turned over his cards, 'a pair of jacks.' ’

Guo Xiaosong also showed his hole cards, 'a pair of 4.'

The veteran reached out to get the money from the shop, "Guo Xiaosong, the idea is not always good, don't look at you have won a lot of my handfuls in a row, what's the matter, this one will come back, do you dare to play?" ’

Win first and then lose, how can you bear it, Guo Xiaosong washed his poker again.

You come and go, the two of them are another temptation, basically the level is about the same, and no one takes advantage of the sweetness.

"I see that the time is almost up, and it's almost lunch, do we have to leave soon, don't we go back before lunch, what should the company commander do when he comes back for roll call," the veteran didn't want to play anymore.

Guo Xiaosong, who has lost money in general, how can he let go of the veterans, 'The last one, let's decide the winner.' ’

The veteran thought for a long time, 'Okay, the last one, no matter who wins or loses, let's decide the winner.' ’

It is a cap of 100 yuan, Guo Xiaosong lost again, and he lost very violently, he had been suspecting that the other party was out of the old thousands when he exchanged the whole money for change, he didn't find it, but this one is good, the veteran has been sitting on the pavement, far from the six playing cards, from beginning to end, people have not touched the cards, when the flop, he also asked Guo Xiaosong to help him turn over, the result is still Guo Xiaosong lost, counting the bets of today and yesterday, Guo Xiaosong has poured back all the previous wins.
