Hong Xi saw that he didn't win much, and his heart was not very hot, so he took the money and wanted to leave, and urged: "Ma Xiucai, let's go." ”

Grandpa looked at the sky outside, raised his hand to calculate, and nodded, "It's almost ∵." ”

Fortunately, there was very little money pressed in the first few rounds, so there was very little to win▲ When Zhuang's saw that they were leaving, not only did not stop, but drove away: "Hurry up, go quickly!" I've never seen such a stingy person, and the luck is so good and it's a little bit! "Grandpa knew that the bankers drove them away, firstly, because the bets they made were really small and not tempting; The second is to know that if you meet a master, if other bets follow him, I don't know how much to lose.

The two of them left the gambling hall and walked in the direction of the deserted graveyard.

"You came out at this time last night, right?" Daddy asked.

"It's almost dark." Hong Xide said.

Hong Xi walked there in a daze last night, and woke up this morning and saw the geographical location clearly, so tonight is very familiar.

When he could hear the faint sound of gongs and drums beating in the flower drum play, my father slowed down and said, "Let's go slower." You were a ghost hitting the wall last night, and you may have taken a lot of wrong paths. We walked straight over, and it was definitely shorter than last night. We couldn't have arrived earlier, so it was better to arrive around the same time as last night. ”

The two of them dragged on for a while, and finally saw a stage. Grandpa looked at the stage the same as Hong Xide said, but there were a few more scenes on it, dancing knives and guns, and the side of the blade sometimes reflected the light of the lantern, which was more dazzling. There were several tables of dice players at the front of the stage. Hawkers weave through it.

A hawker came over, and said to Grandpa and Hong Xide with a thief's eyebrows: "Both, do you want to have some shallots and tofu?" ”

Hong Xi hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't!" No! Take it away! "The facial features on his face are almost distorted.

Grandpa whispered, "Where did you gamble last night?" ”

Hong Xi gestured to the table in front of him.

Grandpa pulled him to the table.

The "person" at the gambling table recognized Hong Xide, saw him coming, and laughed: "Sure enough, he is a man of his word!" If you say come, you will come! ”

Hong Xi nodded awkwardly and forced a smile.

Daddy touched him and said, "Place a bet." ”

Hong Xi took out a little money and put it on the table.

Daddy said, "Bet on it!" ”

Hong Xide said: "You just told me to bet a little and win, why is it so big at this time?" I've been playing for so many years and I've never bet all at once. ”

Grandpa said undoubtedly: "Don't be sluggish, tell you to go all-in." ”

Hong Xide may still want to use the money he won last time to go to the kiln for a while, and he couldn't bear to pay the money. Grandpa simply snatched all the money in his hand and slapped it all on the table.

At this time, the gamblers at the whole table focused their attention on Grandpa.

"Are you sure you're betting that big?" The gambler sitting in the village glanced at his father, his eyes were cold, as if he was a little surprised, but he didn't seem to care.

Hong Xi hesitantly reached for the table, trying to pull back some of it. He said weakly: "Ma Xiucai, or ...... Let's play a few more rounds...... Don't lose it all......"

Daddy looked at the dice in the hands of the gambler sitting in the banker and said, "Either win big or lose big." Why waste time playing game by game? ”

At that time, the moon had climbed up to the treetops, and the moonlight was shining all over the earth, and the earth was as white as frost. The heavens and the earth are as bright as day, and there is no meaning of night at all. The sky was like a silk cloud flowing like the first melting snow, and the moon was like a thin piece of paper floating on the snow, but this paper was as if it had been spelled, and it did not follow the snow, but remained motionless. But after a little longer, it still moved a little.

On the contrary, the lanterns on the stage have become superfluous decorations, everything on the stage can be seen clearly, and the dubbing artists who beat gongs and drums and play the erhu on the corners of the stage are fully revealed. Not to mention whether you can see the dice on the gambling table under the stage, even the texture of the tree rings on the table can be seen clearly.

At this time, the scene is literally the day of the underworld.

Grandpa had a whim, could it be that the day in the world is the night of the underworld, and he can't rest in peace, and the night in the world is the day of the underworld, and he is troubled?

The banker hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, only the bankers who are afraid of making less money are afraid of making money, how can there be bankers who are afraid of making more money?" I will suffer as much as you put down! After speaking, the sitting Zhuang threw the dice in his hand on the table, and the dice turned like a spinning top that was beaten again and again▲ Zhuang's put the teacup in his hand on the dice that were still spinning, and shook it left and right, and then shouted loudly: "Buy big and buy small, buy and leave!" ”

Hong Xide whispered: "Ma Xiucai, shall we buy big or small?" ”

Grandpa stared at the porcelain white teacup for a long time, as if he wanted to see it through.

The confidence of sitting in the village was full, and he was calm, and urged: "If you want to go down, go down quickly, don't delay other people's time." ”

Everyone else has already placed their bets.

"Buy small." Daddy said, put the money in the small area, and left.

The person sitting in the village opened the tea cup, and his face changed abruptly.

Hong Xi couldn't wait to stretch his neck to look, and was surprised when he saw it.

Just this one, my father not only took all the money on the table, but also made the dealer lose a lot.

The dealer was not convinced, and in the next game, he asked his father to bet all the money he had just won, and gambled again± other gamblers on the side shouted and instigated.

Hong Xi was so surprised to see that he had won so much, and his jaw couldn't close.

When Grandpa was in the gambling hall, he found that his eyes had become particularly sharp, although the dice spun fast and the tea cup was covered in time, he could see the trajectory of the dice clearly. According to the movement trajectory seen before the teacup was covered, Daddy could guess which side was up and which side was down when it stopped. In addition, Grandpa found that his ears had also become extremely sensitive, and he could guess the form of the collision from the sound of the dice colliding on the inner wall of the tea cup. From what he saw with his eyes and what he heard with his ears, Daddy could estimate the size of the dice almost with unerring accuracy.

This seemingly sudden ability, Grandpa knew, actually came from absorbing the green light under the jade bracelet. After having that wonderful experience under the sea in the morning, Grandpa felt like the world had been washed over, and he felt much clearer than before when he saw everything else. It's just that I didn't have a detailed understanding at that time, and I was interrupted by Hong Xide, who appeared in embarrassment. Therefore, this ability should have been acquired at that time, but it was not discovered and exploited by itself.

After arriving at the gambling house, Grandpa sat next to Hong Xide and watched them gamble, secretly following them to guess whether the dice were big or small, and the result was correct again and again. Therefore, Grandpa tried it with the little money that Hong Xi had gotten. I didn't expect to guess it many times later, but there was no error.

Before leaving Thrush Village, Grandpa wanted to improvise. After experiencing it in the gambling house, Daddy suddenly had another idea. He's going to find an opportunity at the table, so he's going to bet all his money on it.

But Hong Xi didn't know that his father had his own plans, so he kept begging his father to bet less.

Grandpa naturally didn't care whether Hong Xi was reluctant or not, he bet all the money for the second time, and said to the dealer: "If you listen to the dealer, you will definitely win." My own Ben and what I just won, all lifted. ”

In this dialect, "lifting" means not taking a penny, and re-taking the principal with interest.

The corner of the dealer's mouth pulled a smile and said: "As long as you are not afraid of sweeping the floor, I will bear it!" "Sweeping" is the meaning of the dealer's family, sweeping all the money on the table like sweeping the floor.

When the other gamblers saw that their father and the dealer were on the bar, they stopped and watched the fight between the two of them.

The dealer grabs the dice, plays with them nimbly with his five fingers, and then throws them so hard that the dice spin again, rattling like fried beans. This also shows the strength of the dealer to play dice. Those who don't spin much after the dice are thrown, or who stop spinning quickly, must be someone who is not very good at playing dice. This bookmaker is clearly a connoisseur.

Daddy stared at the spinning dice, and he wanted to see them more accurately than last time. Grandpa knew that if he won again, the dealer would not be able to withstand it. Just now the double of the cost has made the dealer bleed, now the desktop is twice the capital, and then double is four times the capital, the dealer loses again is not a hemorrhage, but a meat.

The dealer covers the teacup before the dice stop spinning.

Grandpa stared at the teacup again.

This time, the dealer was not so calm and calm, he couldn't help but cover his hands on the bottom of the teacup, afraid that his grandfather's eyes would pass through the teacup, so he had to cover it with his hands.

"Buy big and buy small?" The dealer said.

"It's still small." Grandpa gave the answer almost without thinking, faster and more affirmative than the previous time.

The dealer's face changed drastically, and he was terrified.

Grandpa knew that he had guessed it again, and in order to prevent the dealer from making trouble, he hurriedly grabbed the other party's hand and the teacup together. Sure enough, it's small!

Grandpa laughed, stretched out his hand and said, "I am willing to lose the bet, take the money!" ”

The dealer was embarrassed and said, "I don't have enough money." ”

Grandpa said happily: "I don't have any money, let me sing a song on stage!" Just when I bought your venue. How? ”

The dealer was immediately relieved and said, "Of course you can!" As soon as these words came out, it was revealed that he was the leader of this wasted cemetery. This "play" should have been planned by him to bring the gambling and lustful Hong Xide into the trap step by step.

However, this also exposes the fact that the troupe has no money. In those days, the status of the troupe was not high, and if a big family invited the troupe, the troupe would have to trek through mountains and rivers, and it was common for Danjiao to be molested. It is said that in some places, only men can play the role, so as to avoid men and women on the same stage, thinking it is indecent. But these small local troupes basically don't shy away from these, but like to use beautiful women to play the roles. Because the more beautiful the female actor, the more people are invited, and the more people in the audience applaud. Sometimes, although the play is not very good, but if the play is beautiful, the audience is still very satisfied.
