Chapter Sixty-Nine: Holding the King Eight
Jiang Jiang is actually a copy of the current solitaire, but because they can't know Arabic numerals, and it is impossible to draw so cumbersomely, it is better to improvise and draw patterns that everyone is familiar with, anyway, the rules are the same and it will not be wrong. The rules of the game are very simple, but it's a lot of fun to play.
Besides, there is no entertainment in the coolie street now, and playing cards is a pastime.
Of course, when they get used to it, they can also switch to other games, such as fighting landlords.
"Oh, no, no, no, I don't play!" Lian'er waved her hand vigorously when she heard this: "It will be bad if I have that card left." β
"Don't worry, you are a girl's family, and if you lose, you will naturally not be punished like that," Jiang Jiang immediately reassured her: "The three of us will only count if we lose." β
Lian'er was relieved when she heard her say this.
The four of them sat down on the kang, and Jiang Jiang hid a card with Wang Ba on the side, and then started to touch the cards from Lian'er.
After touching the cards, everyone began to look at the cards in their hands, finding pairs and putting them aside.
When they are all found, they start to draw Lian'er's cards from Jiang Jiang, then Lao Su draws Jiang Jiang's cards, the dog draws Lao Su's cards, and Lian'er draws the dog's cards.
Sun Xiaobei looked disdainful at first, thinking that they were playing very naΓ―ve.
But as there were fewer and fewer cards in their hands, the expressions on the faces of several people became more and more serious.
Sun Xiaobei was also nervous when he followed alongside, but it was not easy to show it very well.
With fewer cards in hand, everyone has a more serious look on their faces, and they often turn their cards behind them to switch positions.
In the end, the single card was buckled in Lao Su's hand.
"Ahh Lao Su is the eighth king! The dog shouted, and several people laughed.
Lao Su had to stand up and go to the ground to learn how to climb the turtle, his clothes were already tattered, and after the transformation, the sleeves and hem all became tassels, lying on the ground was weird, which could make people laugh.
"Little brother, it's so fun! Come play, I'll go out and help my aunt clean up their things. Lian'er came over and put the cards she had grasped into Sun Xiaobei's hand, and then ran out.
"Come and play, hurry up!" The dog urged him, too.
"Come on, come here!" Lao Su also greeted him.
Sun Xiaobei couldn't hold on anymore, so he walked over slowly and joined the game.
After only one round, Sun Xiaobei couldn't hold back, and his mouth was grinning to the root of his ears.
There is a good saying, brand is character. When Sun Xiaobei arrives at the card table, he can especially blow up.
Jiang Jiang can blow up better than him, and he listened to the two of them shouting at the card table, and those who didn't know thought it was fighting.
A few people played until the middle of the night, and they were so sleepy that they fell asleep.
Because he was playing cards at the same table, Sun Xiaobei gradually lost his hostility towards Lao Su.
During this period, Lao Su occasionally made a few gadgets for Jiang Jiang, such as a small wooden watch that could show weather and rain, and a small puppet with a winding bar.
Jiang Jiang made Lao Su a pair of men's torn beggar pants and a pair of pointed-toe desert shoes.
Don't want what Lao Su likes.
In the blink of an eye, it's September, and the weather is even cooler.
On this day, Lao Su suddenly said goodbye to Jiang Jiang.
"Isn't this good? Why are you leaving? Jiang Jiang said with some reluctance.
I have to say that Lao Su is almost an all-rounder, as long as you want to do something, describe it to him roughly, he will be able to deeply understand the meaning of your words, and then he will be able to do it quickly, and even many times it is more perfect than you expected, so Jiang Jiang is very reluctant to him.
"There is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, and besides, I have been here for almost half a month, so I have to leave." Lao Su said: "But don't worry, I will come here again soon, and I will not be seen again." β
Jiang Jiang knew that everyone had their own things, although Lao Zhu was a beggar, he must have his own things to do, so he no longer forced him, but advised: "Don't see me outside, come whenever you want." β
"Don't worry, I'm definitely not going to see you!" Lao Su smiled and said, "When it's cold, I still want you to help me change two old clothes!" β
"Well, I still have a lot of inspiration to come up with!" Jiang Jiang said with a smile.
So the two of them said goodbye, and Jiang Jiang watched Lao Su swaying away.
"Why did Lao Su leave?" Sun Xiaobei was also a little reluctant at this time: "The handguards he made for me are easy to use." β
"You don't bother him now?" Jiang Jiang asked Sun Xiaobei funny: "I thought you would be very happy when he left." β
"What do you know," Sun Xiaobei said with some contempt in his tone: "I'm guarding against him, and it's not all for you." β
"What's wrong with me for me?" Jiang Jiang asked puzzled.
"Are you a woman?" Sun Xiaobei lowered his voice and said, "I'm your younger brother, of course I have to guard against other men for you!" β
"That's really hard for you," Jiang Jiang looked at Sun Xiaobei and pretended to be very moved: "If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been bullied a long time ago." β
"That's not it," Sun Xiaobei waved his hand, indicating that he still knew Jiang Jiang very well: "I'm afraid that you will hurt innocent people." β
"Hey, Sun Xiaobei, what do you mean by that?!" Jiang Jiang questioned Sun Xiaobei: "Are your bones itching again?" β
"You haven't told me who the man you offended is?" Sun Xiaobei looked at her and asked, "I can tell you, the time when we hid here and those people in Qixiang Pavilion were wiped out is the front and back, I don't believe you have nothing to do with this." β
"When did you become so smart?" Jiang Jiang was curious.
"I've been thinking about it for two months, even if I'm stupid, can't I figure it out?" Sun Xiaobei shrugged his shoulders and said, "If that's the case, then there is bad news for you, because I heard Brother Wan Yi say that the surname Xiao seems to have been released." β
"Huh? What you say is true?! Jiang Jiang was a little frightened, all she could think of in her mind now was the picture of how the pervert despised herself and how she beat him hard.
That's the person who dares to kill dozens of people, and his little life has to be carefully protected.
"It seems that I have to go and burn paper for those dead ghosts in Qixiang Pavilion today," Jiang Jiang muttered, "I hope they can go to the trouble of that surnamed Xiao, it's better to scare him to death, otherwise it's okay to be scared crazy." β
"Why are you talking about it?" Sun Xiaobei leaned over and asked Jiang Jiang: "Did I really guess correctly?" β
"Go, go, go! You stay and go! Jiang Jiang hugged Sun Xiaobei and left: "Take care of your mouth, don't talk nonsense." β
"What do you think of me?" Sun Xiaobei listened to Jiang Jiang's words and expressed displeasure: "I don't know the stakes of this?" β
But in just a quarter of an hour, Jiang Jiang saw him standing in front of the cauldron selling stewed boiled and shouted at the top of his voice with a few tired cows: "That surnamed Xiao is definitely not a good thing, and he can release it because of his uncle?!" I'm telling you, I've been looking bad for a long time! β
Jiang Jiang couldn't help but hold his forehead with both hands, which is called knowing the severity.
