Chapter 23: Luck
"Since you know that this is the territory of the Green Gang, why do you still want to come over?" Lin Yi's face was angry, he had heard from him that Luo Caiwei was bullied by the Green Gang, and now he went to their gambling house to lose money, how could he not be annoyed.
Zhang Yingzhuo said: "In Yongzhou City, the Green Gang is the head snake, which black gambling house does not have their shadow, and the official shop is too strict, like us can't enter at all." ”
While speaking, a group of people hugged Zhao Qiman, sat down behind the large table in the hall, and two attendants picked up a package and poured it on the countertop, and jewelry and jade poured out.
Lin Yi frowned and said, "What is this?"
Zhang Yingzhuo explained: "It's called the gift table, this fang has a unique way to play, the dealer will collect the treasures from around as gambling funds, and the guests can choose one at will if they win, but there are advantages and disadvantages, all by vision." ”
"Got it, let's go. ”
Zhang Yingzhuo looked at those treasures, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "The gift table is only opened once in a few months, and I was lucky to meet it today, what a pity to leave like this!"
Lin Yi said angrily: "If you don't leave me-" Stuck in the middle of the sentence, because he saw that among the pile of jewels, there was an emerald jade plaque lying on it, with the word Lin Fu engraved on it.
This jade plate was given by the mother that day, and then it was searched by the white-eyed wolf, but I didn't expect it to fall here!
Zhang Yingzhuo was overjoyed when he saw Lin Yi stop, hurriedly put his arms around his shoulders, and squeezed to the gift table, on which there were dice and dice cups, which turned out to be a game of gambling size.
Zhao Qiman was a villager, with a pretty face, and reached out to take off the clothes on the right side, revealing a wrapping chest and crisp shoulders, and a white arm was soft and delicate, which was to let the guests see clearly that she did not hide the dice.
The gamblers took turns at the table with chips in their hands, looking down to guess the size, and no one dared to raise their eyes at her body.
"Bang la, bang, bang......" Zhao Qiman raised his hand in the air, shook the dice cup high, looked straight ahead, and after a while, slapped it on the table.
"Great. ”
"Open!" Zhao Qiman shouted.
......
After dozens of rounds, the gamblers lost more and won less, and the treasure was only half less, but the chips were piled high. Lin Yi was anxious, but fortunately, although the jade plate was valuable, it was engraved with words, and no one had chosen it yet.
"Brother Zhang, how much money does it cost to gamble?"
Zhang Yingzhuo doubted: "I want a tael of silver, what, do you want to play?"
"Don't hide it from Senior Brother, there is something in this, which is very important to me, I want to get it back, if I miss today, there may be no next time." ”
"I don't have enough money on me, but there is a rule at this gift table that you can barter. Zhang Yingzhuo saw that he looked solemn and seemed to have something to do, so he said truthfully.
"But I don't have anything to mortgage. Lin Yi's heart was full of bitterness.
When Zhang Yingzhuo heard him say this, he thought about it for a few breaths, gritted his teeth fiercely, rolled up his sleeves, took off the silver bracelet on his wrist, handed it over, and said, "Senior brother, use this." ”
Lin Yi wanted to take it but couldn't stretch out his hand, "Senior brother, this is too precious...... I'm afraid of losing. ”
"It's fine. Zhang Yingzhuo grinned, stuffed the silver chain into his hand, and said, "When you enter the Lingguan Mansion, you are a family, and you will win it later." ”
said this, but his eyes were quite reluctant.
Lin Yi was grateful, although Zhang Yingzhuo usually looked stingy, but at a critical time, he was willing to be generous. Lin Yi thanked him, turned his head to look at the gambling table, and after half a ring, he said to himself, "That's really the case." ”
"What?" Zhang Yingzhuo was inexplicable.
Lin Yi whispered: "She is out of a thousand." ”
Zhang Yingzhuo raised his eyebrows, "Don't talk nonsense, let them hear it." ”
"Well, then I'll fight it. ”
Zhang Yingzhuo hurriedly said: "You all say that she is cheating, and she is still stunned?"
"That's why I have a chance. Lin Yi said confidently and sat down at the gaming table.
Seeing a kid coming up, Zhao Qiman looked at it a few times, and the corners of his mouth showed contempt. Lin Yi didn't pay attention to her eyes, put the bracelet on the table, and said, "I'll play a game too." ”
"Good. Zhao Qiman sneered again and again, slapped the table with his left hand, shook the dice, held the dice cup with his right hand and waved, loaded the dice in the air, shook it a few times, slapped it on the table, and continued to shake.
Lin Yi held his breath and concentrated, the surrounding scenery gradually became hazy, as if he had returned to the Huaijiang River, listened carefully to the sound of the dice crashing, from scattered to solid, and quickly merged together, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.
Zhao Qiman stopped, and his voice like a yellow bird sounded: "Big or small?"
"Small!" Lin Yi didn't think twice.
Zhao Qiman's face flashed with astonishment, and he hesitated for a moment before opening the dice cup, and there were six dice in it, one by one, forming a long column, and the top was a four-point.
Four o'clock, small.
"I actually won...... Senior brother, you have good luck!" Zhang Yingzhuo's hanging heart suddenly put down, and he said luckily.
"A pillar of optimus!" shouted a gambler, his face full of surprise, obviously suppressed.
Lin Yi didn't think so, a pillar of optimus was actually a trick, and he had practiced it himself. When you are a beginner, you should stick the dice cup on the table, tilt it slightly towards the side of the palm, shake it lightly on the left and heavy on the right, and add a little ingenuity to make the dice close to the wall of the cup and build a stack.
And Zhao Qiman, who is already a veteran, has skilled skills, and can do the same without tilting the dice cup, but the voice can't be hidden, which makes Lin Yi guess.
"I win, then I'll pick one thing. Lin Yi stood up, pulled out the jade plate, and stuffed it into his arms. After many days, I finally returned to myself, and my fingers trembled slightly under the excitement.
Since he won back the jade card, Lin Yi accepted it when he saw it, and got up to leave.
Zhao Qiman wanted to show off his efforts, but unexpectedly it was self-defeating, and thought that he was hitting it crookedly, and said with a displeased face: "What, don't play two more games?"
As soon as she said this, a thug immediately stood behind Lin Yi and watched him tightly. Lin Yi had no choice but to sit down again, sighing, "Okay, then play again." ”
After speaking, his eyes were fixed on her face.
Zhao Qiman shook the dice, his eyes inadvertently, and glanced at the word "big" on the desktop, only between the electric light and flint, but was keenly captured by Lin Yi. He remained silent, waited for Zhao Qiman to finish shaking, and said, "Big." ”
Zhao Qiman frowned, opened the dice cup, twenty-six points, big.
"This kid is really lucky. The gamblers said.
Lin Yi has been in the flower street since he was a child, flattering and flattering guests every day, and he has the best ability to observe words and feelings. Zhao Qiman, as the eldest lady of the Green Gang, is pampered and has never concealed her temper, how can she hide it from him.
Lin Yi casually took one from the treasure and asked, "Can I leave now?"
"Come again. Zhao Qiman stiffened his face and said unconvinced.
This time her eyes were on the word "small", but her lips were tightly pursed, an expression that only appears when lying.
"I want to cover the ......" Lin Yi smiled secretly, and when Zhao Qiman dropped the dice, he said with a smile: "It's still big." ”
Zhao Qiman stared at him hatefully, gritted his teeth and opened the dice cup, thirty-one, big.
Lin Yi took another piece of jewelry, and as soon as he stood up, Zhao Qiman suddenly shouted, "Stop him", and the two thugs hurriedly pressed his shoulders and pressed him back onto the stool.
Lin Yi frowned, "What, do you still want to play?"
The gamblers finally reacted, this teenager won three times in a row, it was definitely not as simple as luck. Hearing Zhao Qiman's shouting, the guests upstairs were also startled, and they all stuck to the railing, looking down to see what was happening below.
Zhang Yingzhuo panicked, but he was squeezed out of the crowd and was so anxious that he was at a loss.
"If you win, you want to run, how can there be such a good thing?" Zhao Qiman said angrily, in fact, she didn't care about this money, she just felt aggrieved, obviously she had made a thousand, why couldn't she win him, it seemed that her mind was all counted by him, and she was very ashamed.
This hairy boy clearly smells milky and hasn't dried up, why is it so powerful?
Zhao Qiman shook the dice, covered it heavily on the table, and shouted: "You guess again!"
Lin Yi had no choice but to stare at her face and said slowly: "Big-" Seeing that Zhao Qiman was silent, he changed his words again: "Or small?"
Hearing this, Zhao Qiman's lips pursed down, and the corners of his lips grinned slightly, Lin Yi knew it in his heart. This expression was very faint, flashing, difficult for ordinary people to see, but firmly in his eyes.
Normally, when a beast is threatened, it bares its teeth and intimidates its enemies, but the same is true for humans, who will also show this expression when they are threatened, but more naturally and very inconspicuously.
"Say it quickly!" Zhao Qiman was furious.
Lin Yi smiled: "Small." ”
Zhao Qiman's whole person suddenly collapsed, his face was pale, and he opened the dice cup tremblingly, and there were six dice in it, totaling fourteen points, small.
The house was full of uproar!
......
Zhao Qiman was in a trance, his hands were as heavy as lead, and he lived like a year, shouting over and over again, and the jewelry around him became less and less, and gradually all piled up in front of the kid, and suddenly heard someone report: "The dealer has sixty-two pieces of gambling money left, and this kid has sixty-four pieces, and the situation is deadlocked." ”
Although he said this, Zhao Qiman knew in his heart that from the beginning to the present, that kid had always had the upper hand in nine out of ten guesses, and if he continued to gamble, he would definitely lose.
"Sixty-two against sixty-two, one game is over, do you want to continue?" Lin Yi said with a smile.
Zhao Qiman cheered up and pretended not to care: "Go on, I can afford to lose this little thing." Raising his hand, he slowly shook the dice and landed weakly on the table.
Lin Yi was in a predicament this time, he seemed to be unsure, frowned and thought hard, and only hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "I guess...... Small. ”
Zhao Qiman was stunned, a little unable to believe his ears, and asked distractedly, "What did you say?"
"I guess small. Lin Yi smiled.
Zhao Qiman hurriedly opened the dice cup, and it was twenty-nine o'clock inside, big!
Lin Yi was dumbfounded and panicked: "How, how is it possible, it should be Xiaolai, did I miscalculate?"
"Heh~ But that's it. A sneer hung on the corner of Zhao Qiman's mouth, swept away the gloom on his face, and sneered: "I thought that a master had come to smash the field, but now it seems that you are just lucky." ”
Lin Yi shook his head again and again, staggering, and it took a while before he came to his senses. Zhang Yingzhuo squeezed to the front again, and at this time, when he saw the pile of jewels on the table being fished back by the dealer, his heart was also painful, and he called it a pity.
The two walked out of the restaurant with support, it was already evening outside, Lin Yi suddenly changed his frustration, took a deep breath, whistled, and looked relaxed. Seeing this, Zhang Yingzhuo's brain turned around and exclaimed, "Did you deliberately lose in the end?"
Lin Yi nodded and generously admitted: "It's enough to get the things, if I don't lose back, can we still come out?"
As he spoke, he returned the bracelet to him, gave him a gold bracelet, and kept a hairpin in addition to the jade plate. Zhang Yingzhuo got the bracelet, was overjoyed, and shouted: "It's okay, senior brother, I'm blind, you still have this ability!"
"It's just luck. ”
The two went home, passing through Pearl Lake, and a maid hurried through the front, with a sad face and gloomy clouds. Lin Yi was alert, didn't take a few steps, suddenly stopped, and secretly screamed that it was not good!
He turned his head sharply, but saw the maid go straight to the pearl lake, leaped all his life, jumped in, and only fluttered a few times, and then sank to the bottom.
Hearing the movement, Zhang Yingzhuo also turned around and exclaimed, "This girl is crazy!"
