Two soft-shelled turtles are placed in two wooden troughs, two wooden troughs are codenamed with "one" and "two" respectively, with a small wooden board to make a small door, the two big as the sea bowl of the old turtle locked in the wooden trough can not move, during the game, open the small door in the two wooden troughs at the same time, the hungry old turtle will desperately climb forward, the people participating in the game, smear their fingers with fish and shrimp paste, and put their fingers into the small holes on the wooden trough.

After Sikong Jieyue figured out how to judge the winner or loser of the game, he couldn't cry or laugh.

It turns out that the turtles participating in the competition should be starved for a few days in advance, and when they open the small door, they will smell the smell of fish and shrimp on their fingers, and then they will desperately crawl forward, and the turtle that eats the food first wins, if anyone is afraid of being bitten, retract their fingers halfway, even if they give up, abandon the game and lose.

As for the bet, both sides can agree in advance, onlookers can participate in the game, can directly compare with the dealer, or invite themselves to bet, but the dealer has to charge a certain commission according to the ratio.

Who the hell invented this gambling method, which seems not only fun, but also fair.

Sikong Picking Moon was ready to move, but he was a little worried, after all, this game would bite people, and it would not be fun if it used its fingers as food and refused to let go.

It is well known that turtles and turtles are both soft-shelled turtles, but they are more aggressive in comparison.

The man seemed to see his concern, and said with a smile: "Childe don't worry, of course we can't just stick our fingers in for this beast to bite, we have to wear this finger sleeve during the game." He had seen that Sikong Jieyue wanted to participate in the competition, so he was no longer angry, but explained the rules of gambling to Sikong Jieyue with a smile.

Sikong Jieyue saw that he was holding several iron cylinders in his hands, the thickness of which was about the same as a human finger, and the iron cylinders were thick and thin, and the contestants could choose a suitable iron cylinder according to the thickness of their fingers.

No one knows whether the old turtle will bite off the iron cylinder, and no one knows whether it is the faster one in the "No. 1" slot or the faster one in the "No. 2" slot, that is, there is uncertainty, which can arouse people's gambling psychology. The person who can come up with this kind of gambling must be an interesting person, Sikong Jieyue thought to himself.

At the beginning, everyone was just watching, and then the dealer personally demonstrated once, everyone saw his finger was bitten hard by the turtle in the "two" slot, in the screams of the crowd of onlookers, the dealer laughed and took off the iron cylinder on the finger, and did not see his finger was bitten off, and then slowly one or two dared to participate in the game.

After the participants finished the game, they were surrounded by the audience next to them and asked, is that thing painful to bite?

How can I explain the pain clearly, I only understand the extent of the pain after I feel it myself, so even though I know that the thing won't bite my finger off, there are still people screaming at the last moment to give up. The people who watch and the people who gamble feel happy and exciting, but no one cares about winning or losing.

The stakes are not very large, some bet a few taels of silver, some bet a few dollars, and some bet only one meal between friends. Although everyone gambled not much, but the game was particularly enjoyable, and after a few rounds, the dealer was also slightly suspicious.

Sikong Picking the Moon is later, he doesn't know whether everyone's bets are big or small, he hasn't thought about this problem at all, he never cares about the size of the bets, how much he bets, how little he bets, he only cares about whether the process is fun or not.

"Who dares to bet with me, I don't have to wear this iron cylinder, if he wins me, this silver ticket will belong to him, if he loses, it doesn't matter, I don't want his silver, just he stands on the street and shouts three times, what's the matter, does anyone dare to try it?" Sikong Jieyue took out a large stack of silver tickets from his arms, and took out one at random, which was a denomination of two hundred taels, and he also saw the words "Shanxi Datong Money Village" written on the silver ticket.

And such a good thing? If you lose, you don't give money, but if you win, you think it's two hundred taels?

If this person is not crazy, he must have a grudge against silver, this is everyone's conclusion about Sikong Picking the Moon.

But the silver ticket is so real, so eye-catching.

Sikong Jieyue put the silver ticket in the hand of the banker, and said with a smile: "You are the boss, you are the referee." ”

The man seemed to be a little confused, because the gambling method that Sikong Jieyue said was like giving money to others, which made him want to gamble.

"If we lose, how do you want us to shout in the street?" Some people couldn't help it, and asked Sikong Jieyue with a smile, although these two hundred taels seem to be very profitable, but it is better to ask clearly, in case they are asked to scold some people who can't be scolded on the street, they will lose, such as those who are officials in the court, or local powerful people, can not be put in the scope of consideration.

Sikong Jieyue had already seen their doubts, and said with a smile: "If you accidentally lose, you only need to shout three times on the street, 'Xuanyuan is not just a bastard', you can rest assured, this person is just a bad gambler, not a murderer who does not blink an eye, if anyone dares to trouble you, I will pay double the silver." ”

Double the silver is four hundred taels, which is not a small amount, and it looks like a business that is not worth losing money no matter how you look at it.

"I'll try it with you." A big man who looked like a butcher came to Sikong Picking Moon.

This butcher seemed to be taller than Xuanyuan Bucong, he looked at the weak Sikong Jieyue, and thought, if I win, I am not afraid that you will dare to cheat, and if I lose, it doesn't matter. He was already rough and thick-skinned, so he was not afraid of being bitten by the old turtle, and he was wearing an iron tube to protect his fingers.

"Come on, come on," Sikong Pick-Moon laughed.

The butcher picked a finger sleeve in the hand of the banker's man and put it on, there was a bowl on the table, and there was a sauce made of fish and shrimp in the bowl, and he and Sikong Jieyue each took a brush on the table, brushed their fingers with fish sauce, and put it into the small hole in the wooden trough.

Sikong picks the moon for the "one" slot, and the butcher is the "two" trough.

At the beginning of the game, the dealer man shouted loudly and opened the small doors in the two wooden troughs at the same time.

The crowd of onlookers suddenly fell silent, for fear of scaring the two old turtles.

The two old turtles had been hungry for a few days, and at this moment, they suddenly smelled the smell of fresh fish and shrimp, and immediately became excited. The width of the wooden trough is designed, and the old turtle cannot turn around.

At the beginning, the two old turtles were slowly swallowing, but when they were almost halfway up, the old turtle in the "No. 1" slot suddenly sped up, and it seemed to have seen Sikong Jieyue's slightly shaking fingers, in its eyes, it was food that exuded umami. When the butcher saw it, he was anxious, and he also learned to pick the moon and shook his fingers vigorously.

The old turtle in the "two" slot saw that it was about to catch up with the "one" in front, and the distance between the two turtles was only a fist.

This game is fairer than most gambling equipment, because the participants in the game can't control the speed of the two turtles at all, the only thing to do is to brush a little more fish sauce on the fingers to make the smell on the fingers stronger, so as to stimulate the hungry turtles.

It's all about luck.

The phrase "ten gambles and nine frauds" has never been wrong.

Although this kind of gambling method cannot be used to deceive, at least you can think of some ways to add a little something.

The things that are added to the moon are called guts, and guts sometimes need a little wisdom.

The iron cylinder set on the finger, although it can bring a sense of psychological security to the participants, but there are drawbacks, the surface of the iron thing is smooth, so the fish paste that can be brushed on the iron cylinder is only a thin small layer, and the fingers are rough and warm, naturally can be brushed with several layers of fish sauce, and the finger sensitivity is high, in the eyes of the old turtle, just like a living thing, the hungry old man sees it, and naturally climbs fast.

The old turtle in the "No. 1" groove opened its mouth and bit Sikong Jieyue's finger fiercely, Sikong Jieyue's finger shrank suddenly, and it happened that the beak of the old turtle's palate touched his finger, and he scraped the fish sauce on his finger on the turtle's beak and shrank it like lightning.

Sikong picked the moon and wiped the fish sauce on his fingers, and the old turtle in the "two" slot was late, and the butcher saw that he had lost, so he hurriedly retracted his fingers, he didn't want to be bitten by the old turtle.

"You've lost." Sikong Jieyue said with a smile, don't look at his simplicity, in fact, he was extremely particular about what he did just now, and he had extremely high requirements for his eyesight and speed in his hands.

"I'll come, I'll come"

"I'm going to have a handful too"

In the crowd of onlookers, eager people rushed to gamble with Sikong Jieyue, and they all seemed to think that the silver ticket should be in their pockets.
