Chapter Seventy-Five: A Warm Corpse
There was a joke in Maple Grove a long time ago.
Said to be on the pai gow table, there is a guy touched a pair of "double heaven supreme", the heart beat faster, the surface is calm, a look at the table is not much, sorry for the deck of cards, a wit, pretending to accidentally drop a card under the table, and then bend down to pick up.
Because of the poor lighting under the table, he felt for a long time to find the card.
His move seems clumsy, but in fact, he deliberately gave the three players a chance to make a thousand. This is like a martial arts master who deliberately sells a big flaw when he fights.
The mentality of gamblers is the same. No one will miss an opportunity to make it easy. Sure enough, the three guys on the table saw that they could take advantage of the opportunity, and immediately changed the cards in the fastest way and maximized the increase.
The dealer who picked up the cards returned to the table, and when he saw that there were several times more stakes, he smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was silent. Place only the four cards that make up the "Double Heaven Supreme" in the center of the table, and then calmly fill your pockets with money.
The three players secretly complained bitterly, and then they realized that they had lifted a stone and shot themselves in the foot.
The composition of "Double Heaven Supreme", as the name suggests, is a pair of heavenly cards in front and a pair of supreme treasures in the back.
It is worth mentioning the Supreme Treasure.
There are 32 cards in total, and almost every one of them comes in pairs. For example, there are two day tiles, and there are two land tiles, and so on.
Here we say "almost", that is, there are exceptions, but there are not many exceptions, to be precise, only two cards are not doubles: one is Ding San, and the other is Wang Liu.
Because these two cards are not paired and the suit is the smallest of all the cards, it is worthless to get one of them alone.
However, if Ding San and Wang Liu happen to be put together, they will become the most powerful combination, and there is no one. Jianghu people call it "Supreme Treasure".
If you have watched "Journey to the West" starring Stephen Chow, you must remember that Stephen Chow's role is called "Supreme Treasure".
However, if you don't understand Pai Gow, you won't understand that the meaning of "Supreme Treasure" is the biggest and strongest; You won't understand why Guanyin always asks him to find three moles every time he asks him to give him a dream.
Why are three moles so important? Because the Supreme Treasure is composed of Ding San (three points, arranged in a T-shape) and Wang Liu (six points, distributed at the six ends of the character "Wang"). Before becoming the Monkey King, Stephen Chow's character only had half of the identity of the "Supreme Treasure" - Wang Liu.
Therefore, he could only be an unsuccessful helper in Wuyue Mountain at that time, not only was he beaten all over the ground by Chun Thirteen Niang, but even the second master could bully him at will.
Only with the help of *, back to five hundred years ago, when he met the Zixia Fairy, he put three T-shaped moles on the soles of his feet, Ding San and Wang Liu completed the combination, and the leader of the Axe Gang truly transformed into the Supreme Treasure, and then incarnated into the strongest Monkey King in heaven and earth.
However, there is a price to be paid to be a true Supreme Treasure.
You must still remember the plot in "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong has completed the transformation of the identity of the Supreme Treasure, first of all, he must lose the love of his life, and he is destined to be lonely for a lifetime, sad and headache, and he will always accompany him on the long road to the west.
Therefore, here, the words left by the black girl when she walked to Tangshan were not threats, let alone curses, but quite well-founded truths, and even a little persuasion and reminder.
In the legend of Maple Grove, the "Double Sky Supreme" is actually a very ominous deck of cards. The person who gets this deck of cards, although he can win a sum of money on the spot, will have bad luck in the rest of his life.
The so-called boom and bus, since you have reached the top, the next step is of course downhill. And according to popular saying, the higher you jump, the harder you fall. If you fall from the roof, you will definitely fall to your death.
The above paragraph, the ending is that the guy who took the Double Heaven Supreme and deliberately sold a flaw to make people out, on the third day after the end of the gambling game, was hit by a big truck on the street and was bloody.
However, Tang Shan never believed in those nonsense.
It's just a deck of cards, what does it have to do with people's fate? Even if this deck of cards rarely appears, it's just a matter of mathematical probability, so how can it be related to auspiciousness and ominousness?
There are a total of 32 cards of pai gow, according to the mathematical permutations and combinations, 32 out of 4, the probability is indeed very small, but it is still much greater than the probability of 36 out of 7 welfare lottery.
Tang Shan is a materialist, and a small probability event happened to happen to him, who said that this is not a kind of luck?
Tang Shan whistled, and while filling his pocket with money, he watched the black girl and the "earth baotian" white girl leave.
He was once again fascinated by the figure of "the earth and the sky", and he was in a different mood at this time, and his appreciation was not the same. I saw her dressed tight, shaved shoulders, thin waist, hips, long legs, at a glance, walking catwalk and slowly leaving, it was simply amorous.
Tang Shan was stunned and drooled, thinking that if she didn't turn back, this back would be enough to lead people to sin.
Before entering the shadow of the lamp, she turned her head back, with her thin eyes and collapsed nose, plus the mouth with a short upper lip and a long lower lip, combined into a big unappetizing smiling face, and threw it to Tang Shan far away.
Tang Shan immediately snorted, withdrew the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and scolded hatefully in his heart:
"Damn, your smile is more desperate than getting a super bad deck."
A guy next to him, who was not a few years older than Tang Shan, stabbed Tang Shan with his elbow and said with a wicked smile:
"Boy, it's too much to win other people's money and ravage other people's backs, right? However, this kind of goods can be drooling, and you can be considered to have extraordinary taste. ”
Tang Shan thought to himself, you know a chicken feather, of course the black girl is not worth mentioning, but the figure next to her is extremely graceful, it can be said that there is no one in the entire Maple Forest Town, which man does not drool when he sees it, and some functions are definitely not normal.
It's a pity that God played a prank on her, opened one window for her, ruthlessly closed the other, and arranged her with an unbearable face.
Thinking of this, Tang Shan asked insincerely:
"Why do you call that black girl 'Shitai'?"
Another villain pretended to be well-informed: "Her name is Zhen Ying." Jianghu people call 'real * lewd teacher', you don't know her? ”
Tang Shan laughed in his heart, the black girl's father's surname Zhen is nothing, why did he just give her the word "Ying"? A woman's family is still so ugly, and she loves to mess around in the casino every day, so it's no wonder that she is not made fun of by the gang of gamblers and hooligans.
Tang Shan won the money, he was in a good mood, and his inspiration was also springing, and he laughed and said:
"Regardless of whether she is really 'Ying' or fake 'Ying', she looks like that, she is only suitable for playing mahjong."
Everyone pretends not to understand:
"Why?"
Tang Shan pretended to be serious:
"Because she often *."
A bunch of villains laughed:
"You won so much money, you should find an opportunity to fire a cannon for her."
Tang Shan no longer spoke, and thought regretfully in his heart, but unfortunately he didn't know who the name of the girl with the moving figure next to the black girl was.
Then I feel that I don't know anything, otherwise, I can only cover half of it every day, just look at the other half, and even what can only be used in the doggy style, no other tricks, for a long time, I don't know if it will become a pervert.
As soon as the black girl left, a bunch of villains only cared about gossip, but lost the interest to gamble again. They all forgot that Tangshan only gambled two games as a banker, and according to the unwritten rule that three games must be gambled on the table, there was actually one game missing.
Tang Shan held the dice in the palm of his hand, stood at the table and waited for someone to sit at the gate of heaven instead of the black girl, and waited for the player to shuffle the cards. After waiting for a long time, seeing that everyone's interest was not high, I also planned to accept it when I saw it. So he put down the dice and turned around to squeeze out of the crowd.
The game just went over. Some people began to walk out one after another.
Tang Shan looked around, but still didn't see his friend Chen Yusheng, and secretly wondered in his heart: Where did this guy go?
He planned to go upstairs and pay back the money first. won nearly 30,000 yuan, which can probably solve Chen Yusheng's debt problem.
Tang Shan was just about to step on the stairs, and the tooth picker who had been a village before him suddenly squeezed to his side and said mysteriously:
"Boy, you really shouldn't win her money."
Tang Shan was stunned for a moment, and then he was unconvinced:
"Damn, only allow her to win me, not for me to win her? Then I'm still gambling on a? ”
Picking his teeth and snorting coldly:
"Do you know who she is? You don't ask before you play? ”
Tang Shan was stunned again, very impatient:
"Who does she care about me? If she looks good, I may still be in the mood to ask, but she has grown into that kind of virtue, I ask around, will people treat me as a pervert? ”
Teasing smiled meaningfully:
"I'm also kind enough to remind you, if you don't want to hear it, forget it."
Tang Shan looked at this guy's grim smile, his heart moved, and he asked casually:
"Who the hell is she?"
He turned around and wanted to leave, turned around and whispered:
"She is the daughter of Simon Biao. You should be careful when you go out on the street in the future. ”
Tang Shan was taken aback, and opened his mouth wide to speak. He walked away, and he hadn't closed his mouth yet. He had long felt that the black girl was not simple, but he didn't expect that she was the daughter of Ximen Zhen Biao. But why did she go to Brother Dongcheng's lair to gamble?
Tang Shan was stunned for a while, slowly calmed down, and thought to himself that I didn't come out of the old man, and I won money by luck, what can she do to me? Besides, I've never heard of anyone who loses money and will look for a winner on the street to take revenge.
Thinking of this, he was indifferent, and turned to go upstairs. Walk up the stairs and your steps will be brisk again.
People are like this, when they have no money, they feel extremely heavy every step they take; Once you have money, even if you climb the stairs, it's like floating in the clouds. All troubles and unhappiness are floating clouds.
Tang Shan once again came to the door of Zhou Papi. The door is open, the TV inside is still playing soap operas, some people are crying, some people are laughing, I don't know what kind of bullshit plot it is, I want to toss the actors so much that they can't cry or laugh.
Tang Shan knocked on the door, but no one answered. He thought to himself, Zhou Papi, this hooligan, was either asleep or drunk.
He knocked harder, but no one answered. Could it be that Zhou Papi went to the bathroom?
Tang Shan gently pushed the edge of his palm, and the door opened silently. There was no one on the couch, and the actors on the TV were speaking lines into the air.
The furnishings on the coffee table are not the first time Tang Shan has come in and seen them. No snacks and no beer.
To Tang Shan's shock, there was a wooden chessboard on the coffee table, on which was a set of endgames. Although seven or eight steps away, Tang Shan could still judge the name of the endgame from the approximate position of each chess piece.
"Jade Silk Golden Tripod".
No second person is more familiar with this game than him. In order to make sure that he was not mistaken, he ignored the politeness and impoliteness, and immediately rushed towards the coffee table.
As soon as Tang Shan took two steps, he tripped under something, and his body fell to the ground between the coffee table and the TV under the action of inertia. The corner of his forehead slammed against the edge of the TV stand, and he grinned in pain.
Tang Shan struggled to get up his upper body, only to realize that it was a pair of human legs that tripped over him. Looking up along these legs, he saw Zhou Weiliang's extremely arrogant dead face.
Zhou Weiliang was lying on the ground between the coffee table and the door, his eyes staring at a certain point in the ceiling; There was a pig-killing knife stuck in his chest, which went straight into the handle.
The blood squeezed out from the edge of the hilt, overflowed Zhou Weiliang's right chest, burrowed into his armpit, and poked out from his right shoulder, stretching out in a zigzag, like a long purple snake, swimming under the sofa.
Tang Shan was nauseous and wanted to vomit, but before he could spit it out, he had already fainted.
