Chapter 1 Every gamble is bound to lose

Next Chapter

The sky is blue and vast, and the clouds are beautiful. I saw that in the depths of a well alley, a seven-foot-long and tattered Hang'er Lang was carrying a few strings of copper coins to swagger through the market.

At this time, the market was bustling, and there were many people coming and going, and there were not a hundred but eighty passers-by on half of the street. And among these 80 people, there are 79 people who know this hangerlang.

I could only hear the old man selling candy on the street whispering to the silk vendor next to him: "I'm afraid I'm going to gamble again, alas, the Duan family is unfortunate, the Duan family is unlucky......"

The silk vendor smiled and replied with a smile while happily watching the hanging erlang walk while humming a little song: "Hey, what are you worried about for the Duan family? Wasn't this kid beaten out by the Duan family a long time ago? Now, he is not even as good as the yellow dog on the side of the East Street!"

The old man who sold the candy man sighed, shook his head slightly, and continued to be his sugar man.

"Hey, why do you think this kid keeps losing money? He loses all his money every time he comes out of the gambling house, why is it so hard to see him win once?" asked a guy at a wine shop on the street, chewing peanuts.

"Hahahaha!" Another guy laughed and said: "I heard the people in the gambling house say that you don't even have to pay a thousand to win this kid! Last time Hong Sanye and him competed with the dice, the third master came up and threw a two, guess what?"

The guy chewing the peanut took another peanut from his hand and looked at the guy with a smile on his face.

"This kid only made a single shot! Tell me, there can be such a thing in this gambling house!" the man laughed and continued.

The hanger walked past the two men, ignoring the words of the two men.

Seeing this, the two guys also lost interest, and immediately clapped their hands and went back to the wine shop.

The people on the street are all pointing fingers at this hanger, after all, a gambler like this who almost lost his family business, anyone who sees it will inevitably mumble a few words.

The hanger turned two street corners, passed through an alley, and finally stood in front of a gambling house, and swept the strings of copper plates with his hands.

"Yo! Isn't this Master Duan!" At the door of the gambling house, a gambler strode out, carrying silver in his pocket, and greeted this hanger loudly with a smile. The gambler's face was full of joy, and his arms were bulging, obviously he had won a lot.

Na Jiao'er Lang grinned and greeted: "Brother Zhao is full of red light today, and the hall is translucent, I guess he must have won a lot just now!"

The gambler who was called Brother Zhao patted the shoulder of this hanger with his hand and said, "It's just the capital, how can the money in this casino be so easy to win?"

Hang Erlang asked with a smile on his face: "If Brother Zhao is not happy, why don't you play two more games with your younger brother?"

Brother Zhao frowned and thought about it, then touched his beard again, and said, "Hmm...... I'm going to go to Xicheng to buy goods, why don't I play again next time?"

Hang Erlang grinned and said, "That's it! The little brother will go in first, and we'll compete another day!"

With that, the hanger was about to walk towards the gambling house.

"Hey!wait!wait!" Brother Zhao suddenly shouted.

Jiao Erlang turned around and asked with a smile, "How did Brother Zhao change his mind?"

Brother Zhao pulled the hanging Erlang in front of him and said, "Brother still advises you to say a few words, just don't gamble on your life." Tell me that you were born in a big family, and you have a clear rich and noble life, and what else can you do honestly?

Hang Erlang patted Brother Zhao's back and said with a smile: "Little brother was born to gamble on his life. Brother Zhao, don't worry, we asked for a sign today, and this time we will definitely win him a lot!"

When Brother Zhao heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and thought: "You kid doesn't listen to good words, and if you change others, you can't be happy to gamble every day!"

Brother Zhao didn't want to say more, and patted the back of this hanger with his hand, and then strode away.

Hanging Erlang checked the strings of copper plates in his hand again, and hid the copper coins in his sleeve as he walked towards the gambling house.

As soon as this hanger entered the door of the gambling house, all the gamblers immediately looked over. I could only hear someone shouting, "Yo he!

This hanger Lang Chao arched his hand and said with a smile: "Hey, it's down there!"

The owner of the gambling house rushed over when he heard the sound, and while squinting at Duan Wuyan, he said scoldly: "You are all people who were driven out by the Duan family, where did you get the money to gamble?"

Duan Wuyan didn't laugh angrily, and said respectfully: "Since we dare to enter this door, we must still have some capital." ”

"You're farting!" someone in the crowd suddenly scolded.

The gamblers in the gambling house burst into laughter.

"Duan has no delay, Duan has no delay. There's absolutely no money for that!" shouted another man.

The crowd in the gambling house burst into laughter again.

But who knew that this Wuyan was still not angry, but just took out a few strings of copper plates in his sleeve and said with a smile: "Duan Wuyan really has a little money today, I don't know which uncle is willing to appreciate his face and play with the little one?"

When the owner of the gambling house saw that this Wuyan had brought the capital, he no longer bothered him, but just flicked his sleeves and walked back to the counter.

Most of the people in the gambling house are frequent customers, and they also know Duan Wuyan, who also frequents the gambling house, and knows that he is very good at gambling but he will lose every time he gambles.

As soon as Duan Wuyan's words came out, more than a dozen people immediately said that they wanted to gamble a few games with Duan Wuyan. Who doesn't want silver for nothing?

Duan Wuyan bowed with his hands to the sky and said loudly: "Since everyone is so interested, then let's guess the size, and a dozen people at a table can also play!"

The rest of the gamblers clapped their hands in agreement. It doesn't matter what you play, it's who you play with. As long as he gambles at the same table with Duan Wuyan, even if he doesn't win, he won't lose much.

Duan Wuyan was surrounded by the crowd and walked to a long table. There was an iron dice cup in the center of the wooden table, and there were places to place bets all around.

"Duan Wuyan, how much do you play?" asked a gambler in the same game.

Duan Wuyan waved his hand and responded with a smile: "This is the first one, I'll give him a hundred Wen first!"

The rest of the gamblers called one after another, and the few who were not afraid of losing money placed another fifty more.

When everyone finished placing their bets, the iron dice cup began to shake. The person who shakes the dice is extremely unique, only to see him shake the cup with one hand, full of tricks, sometimes lifting the cup over the elbow, sometimes throwing the dice empty...... After hearing only a series of crisp clanging sounds, the iron dice cup was violently buckled on the wooden table, and the copper plate on the table trembled a few times.

Duan Wuyan didn't wait for others, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Big!"

The rest of the gamblers glanced at Duan Wuyan one after another, and then shouted in unison, "Small!"

Duan Wuyan couldn't help laughing and said, "Could it be that I, Duan Wuyan, only have the life to lose? How can you all play like this? Aren't you afraid that I will win all the money?"

One gambler laughed and said, "If you can win, then let you win." But who doesn't know that you Duan Wuyan will lose every gamble? We don't want to lose these big boys with you for nothing. ”

The corners of Duan Wuyan's mouth raised slightly, and he thought, "Heh, I, Duan Wuyan, have asked for a sign today." The old blind man said that I have a bad day and the time is coming. Losing to you as a time is my life. But today, I can definitely win back all the losses I lost to you!"

After everyone made up their minds, the iron dice cup was slowly opened.

Duan Wuyan's two eyes stared at the dice cup, and his heart was almost jumping to his throat.

The same is true for the rest of the gamblers, and at this juncture, no one dares to breathe.

The iron dice cup was picked up, and the three dice were finally revealed. I saw that the three dice were four, four, and five, which was obviously big.

Duan Wuyan shouted, clapped his hands several times, and laughed: "Hahahaha! It's big!"

The rest of the gamblers stared at the three dice and looked at each other again, no one dared to believe that Duan Wuyan, who had always lost every gamble, had won so much today!

The loser was naturally not convinced, so he urged to continue betting.

After Duan Wuyan finished placing the bet, he rubbed his hands again, and said in his heart: "This old blind man's calculation is really accurate! I know that I am not a bad person! When I win a lot of money, I will buy the Duan family! See if that old man dares to drive me out again!"

Duan Wuyan thought here, and the dice over there had been shaken again.

Duan Wuyan closed his eyes and smiled, "Small!"

The rest of the gamblers did not believe in evil, and said in unison: "Great!"

Duan Wuyan laughed and said, "If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can do!

I saw that the iron dice cup was opened again, revealing three dice with three and one two points.

Duan Wuyan clapped his hands and laughed again, and said, "Hahaha, it's time to run, time to run!"

The rest of the gamblers were a little red-eyed, but they really couldn't say anything, so they could only hold their breath and continue betting.

In this way, he gambled more than a dozen games in a row, and Duan Wuyan was bound to win. Originally, those who bought it against Duan Wuyan, some of them also began to follow Duan Wuyan to buy the size.

"Small, small, small...... Small!hahahaha!I said small!That's small!" Duan Wuyan laughed and swept a large copper plate on the table in front of him.

"You kid is out of the woods!" Suddenly, a deep voice came from behind Duan Wuyan.

Everyone looked over one after another, only to see that the man had a big waist and a round waist, a scab between his eyebrows, a beard under his chin, a splendid robe, and two gold galls in his hand, showing that he was a rich and noble man.

Duan Wuyan smiled and said, "Third Master Hong, how dare we give a thousand? This group has been watching, if I did anything, wouldn't this finger have already been chopped off?"

Hong Sanye smiled and said, "So, is your kid really lucky today?"

Duan Wuyan grinned and didn't answer.

Hong Sanye strode to the table opposite Duan Wuyan and said loudly, "I'll play with you, let's say, how much do you play?"

Duan Wuyan couldn't help but turn pale, and said with a smile: "Third Master, don't laugh, how can I have the ability to bet with you?"

Hong Sanye said with a displeased face: "How can I win a few stinky copper plates, and I won't even give my Hong Cai's face?"

Duan Wuyan had just won a lot, and now he was proud of the casino, and thought: "I must win every gamble today, why not take advantage of the fact that I will kill this Hong Sanye now, the third master is generous, and losing a hundred and ten taels of silver is just a wave of his hand." ”

Duan Wuyan was embarrassed, and responded: "The little one has to play two games with Hong Sanye." ”

Hong Sanye snorted coldly, then waved his hand and said, "If you win, I will give you the business on the corner of West Street; if you lose, you will owe me a thousand taels of silver!

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Everyone knows that Hong Sanye is not bad for money, but no one has ever seen such a gambling method today.

However, people who are familiar with Hong Sanye's temper will understand at a glance: Hong Sanye has always been a distinguished guest in the gambling house, and everyone will give him a few points in the face of Sanye, and he only dares to win 800 if he can win a thousand games. This time, Duan Wuyan won dozens of handfuls in a row, obviously stealing the limelight from Hong Sanye, and didn't take into account Sanye's face.

Duan Wuyan's face couldn't help but be a little ugly, and bean-sized droplets of sweat flowed down his face.

Duan Wuyan summed up in his heart: "The business on the west corner of Hong Sanye is worth 1,500 taels of silver, if I win, I will really turn over." But if you lose, if you lose......"

Duan Wuyan didn't answer, and for a while, Duan Wuyan was soaked with sweat all over his body.

"Don't you dare to bet! Duan Wuyan!" Several onlookers have begun to coax at this time, who doesn't want to watch this kind of excitement?

"What a chance!Duan Wuyan!""Give it a go!The rice turns into a fragrant bun!""The third master's words have been put down, do you dare not take it!Duan Wuyan?" Everyone followed suit, and everyone wanted to see Duan Wuyan's jokes.

"What if I lose......" Duan Wuyan was still hesitating.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of erhu outside the gambling house. When Duan Wuyan heard this, he couldn't help but think of the old blind man who told his fortune. Duan Wuyan suddenly trembled, and said in his heart: "What am I afraid of! Hong Sanye is here to help me transfer today! I can't lose!"

Duan Wuyan slapped the table and said loudly: "Okay! One thousand taels is one thousand taels!"

As soon as these words came out, the entire gambling house was in an uproar. The gamblers applauded.

Hong Sanye snorted coldly and said loudly: "I'll bet big!"

Duan Wuyan arched his hand and said with a smile: "Then I'll bet small!"

The bet has been placed, buy and leave, at this time just wait for the dice cup to shake, the future is certain.

I saw that the person who shook the dice picked up the dice, and shook the dice cup like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, flowing clouds and water, and a series of connected sounds were like rain dropping pipa, and the broken spring hit the white stone.

Seeing this, everyone clapped their hands and applauded again and again.

Immediately after, I heard a crisp sound of "pop". The dice cup was snapped on the wooden table.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the cup, wishing that their eyes could see the dice inside through the cup.

Hong Sanye said coldly: "Open." ”

The person who shook the dice opened the cup, and saw three round and smooth dice on the wooden table, and a total of three points added up to not even six.

Hong Sanye's face immediately changed.

And Duan Wuyan was even speechless for a while, this plate win is not a small amount, this win is the plate of the famous Hong Sanye on West Street!

The rest of the gamblers were also suddenly silent when they saw this at this moment, half of them lost Duan Wuyan's money today, and they didn't want to applaud Duan Wuyan, while the other half were afraid of Hong Sanye's grandeur and didn't dare to clap their hands.

Hong Sanye's brows were furrowed like a mountain at this time, and his iron face was even more bruised.

Duan Wuyan didn't even dare to take a sip of the atmosphere for a while, but he was afraid of winning the money.

But at this moment, a series of muffled sounds suddenly came from the ground. For a while, the entire gambling house began to shake. The people in the gambling house only felt that they were suddenly dizzy, and they couldn't even stand steadily, let alone divide into east, west, north and south. The shaky scene of this day is enough to pass the time when there is a small half-pillar of incense. By the time the gambling house was quiet, everyone had already fallen to the ground.

Duan Wuyan held his head and slowly got up from the ground. Other gamblers also stood up one after another. Hong Sanye was also helped up.

And when everyone looked at the three dice on the wooden table again, they found that those three dice had become five, five, six—big!

Duan Wuyan was dumbfounded for a moment, and his whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.

"Three, third master, how is this calculated?" Duan Wuyan asked cautiously.

Hong Sanye smiled and waved his hand, and responded: "I am willing to lose the bet." ”

Duan Wuyan finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and his hanging heart was also relaxed.

But who knew that Hong Sanye continued: "Duan Wuyan, this is the will of heaven! I am willing to lose the bet, you now owe me a thousand taels of silver." ”

When Duan Wuyan heard this, he was suddenly struck by lightning, and retorted loudly: "But it was obviously small just now!"

Seeing this, the surrounding gamblers scolded Hong Sanye one after another, and retorted to Duan Wuyan: "If you lose, you will lose! How can there be so many words!" "That's it! Don't come to the gambling house if you can't afford to play!" "You dare to let Hong Sanye's game go! You don't want to live!"

Seeing this, Duan Wuyan couldn't help but kneel down in front of the gaming table all of a sudden. The copper plate that was originally won on the gambling table was not his own in a moment, and this time he owed Hong Sanye a thousand taels of silver.

Duan Wuyan's face was so ugly at this time. And Hong Sanye and the other gamblers laughed one after another, Duan Wuyan's jokes, they never got tired of watching them.
