Chapter 9 Drawing Champions (Asking for Collection Recommendations)
The steel fork shook the ground, and the momentum of that side was reduced by more than half.
Xu Wu was about to open his mouth for help, but Brother Niu spoke first: "Don't play in this way." I think you have to gamble and your chips have to be fair. ”
This person obviously came to save himself, Xu Wu nodded again and again. Xiao Liao was forced by Brother Niu's majesty and nodded secretly.
Brother Niu continued: "Otherwise, I will also join, everyone will bet all the belongings they have with them now, and the one who wins will take away all the things of the other three." ”
Xu Wu scolded in his heart, didn't this person come to save himself?
Fang Shao knew that Brother Niu was a good gambler, although he had never fought head-on, but he was not afraid, so he agreed: "No problem." "After all, he has never lost, and he has the confidence.
Xu Wu knew that he couldn't escape, so he had to nod: "Okay, I promise." ”
The four of them each put down their weapons and sat in a circle, listening to Xu Wu explain the rules.
"These are called 'playing cards' and they are the props for our game. ”
As he spoke, Xu Wu pulled out all the pokers from the box and spread them out to show them the front of the box, revealing different numbers and suits. It is flipped over again, followed by the same interwoven diamond lattice pattern, with a small black dot in the middle of each diamond grid.
"Is this prop also your belongings?" Fang Shao asked, pointing to the playing cards.
Xu Wu replied: "Forget it." ”
Fang Shao and Xiao Liao showed evil smiles to each other, and even Brother Niu's eyes couldn't leave the playing cards. The three of them secretly riveted their strength to win.
Such exquisite paper products, for people in this era, but the supreme treasure, if you can win Xu Wu, sell the playing cards to a good collection of dignitaries, the rest of your life does not have to worry.
Xu Wu put away the two cards of the big and small kings and put them into the box, and began to say: "The rules are like this, now there are 52 cards, I will draw a card from which I don't know the content, and then hand out the remaining 51 cards to everyone, including 13 cards for three people and 12 cards for one person." ”
Xu Wu took out a 2 of spades and a 2 of hearts from the playing cards, pointed to the number "2", and explained: "After getting the cards, there are the same cards in the hand, no matter what color, even if it is a pair, it is called a 'pair of cards', and it must be played." Xu Wu put two 8s on the ground to signal. The others nodded, and Fang Shao listened very seriously.
Xu Wu went on to explain: "We will start with the person who has 12 cards, draw a card to the person on the right hand and keep it for yourself, and if you can form a pair, you will also have to play it. All the cards in the hand are composed of a pair of cards that are lost after playing, and the person who has a card in his hand at the end is the final winner. This card is called 'Champion', so the name of the game is 'Draw Champion'. ”
"Oh!" the three men looked happy, and when they heard the word "champion", they immediately felt that this game was much higher. Xu Wu deliberately changed the name of "Smoking Turtle" because he had to be a "turtle", but this name did not match the identity of the winner.
"Do you understand?" Xu Wu confirmed, after all, this is a foreign product from the future.
"It's too easy, come on!" Fang Shao said confidently. Brother Niu and Xiao Liao paused for a while, digested Xu Wu's words, and then nodded in understanding.
"Okay, let's get started. After Xu Wu finished speaking, he put 52 cards on his left hand and gently clamped them, and his right hand pulled out a small pile from the middle of the cards and put them on top, repeating this simple shuffling action three times. Then draw a card from the middle, keep it face down, stuff it directly into the box, and finally deal the cards in a quick circle.
This ordinary action that modern people have mastered is not unusual in the eyes of ancient people, Xu Wu's calm expression and trick-like tricks are very chic, which provoked Xiao Liao to refrain from saying: "Okay...... So handsome. ”
Xu Wu grabbed the cards in his hand and began to count, but found that the three of them had invariably wiped their palms on their clothes or pants before carefully taking the cards. They are afraid that the poker will get dirty and will not sell it for a good price.
When Xu Wu dealt the cards, he deliberately dealt himself 12 cards as a start. After finishing all the pairs and throwing them to the ground, he felt a little sorry, because the "champion" was not in his hands, so the difficulty of the opening would increase.
Xu Wu began to observe other people's hands, and quickly locked the position of the "champion", which was in the hands of Brother Niu. Although all the cards look the same on the back, Xu Wu used to make a very inconspicuous mark on the back of all the "8s". He blacked out the black dots in the middle of the diamond grid in the four corners of each card. As long as this poker card is played "draw champion", it is impossible for him to lose.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, three naked men sat on the ground. Although Brother Niu complied with the rules and repeatedly refused, Xu Wu insisted on leaving the shorts to them, after all, it was too spicy for eyes.
Xu Wu looked at the belongings of the three people on the ground, except for taking back his silver taels, he couldn't look down on those clothes. In the end, he only took away Brother Niu's steel fork and bow and arrows, and rode away on an electric car. He didn't know what the dangers were along the way, and weapons were what he needed most.
Seeing Xu Wu leaving, Xiao Liao, who was shivering from the cold, stretched out his hand and wanted to step forward to take away his clothes, but he was picked up by Brother Niu and cut them into thin strips.
"These are no longer our things. If he doesn't take it away, I'll help destroy it. "Brother Niu sticks to the rules, and feels that he has to lose with backbone.
The three of them said no more, crossed their arms and shoulders, and went home.
Xu Wu continued to pick up the good road, and the cooking smoke was close at hand. Suddenly, a mountain villa appeared in front of him, with towering ancient trees in front of the door, and barren vines on the road. The manor was surrounded by a fence, Xu Wu stopped the electric car and took a closer look.
I saw a strange-looking young man hurriedly carrying a basin of water, through the courtyard, into one of the brightest rooms.
I heard a boy in the room say anxiously: "Brother Liu, why did you do this?"
"I don't know. A rough voice with a weak strength responded, Xu Wu recognized, isn't this the big brother Niu just now?
"When hunting like this, I lost my clothes and my forks. I also got a cold back. Then came the voice of a guilty woman.
"Son, take a break recently, don't go into the mountains. Hearing the last old woman's voice, the family was afraid of the aggravation of the wind and cold, so they closed the door, and Xu Wu could no longer hear the sound.
Brother Niu, Brother Liu, and Xu Wu repeatedly recalled these two names, and then looked at the appearance of this villa, and took out "Journey to the West" from the trunk of the car.
He opened the book and looked at it, confirming his guess, it was all Xiao Liao with a big tongue, where is Brother Niu? It is clearly Liu Boqin and Brother Liu. This mountain villa is his home.
This Liu Boqin was going to lead Tang Sanzang to the Five Elements Mountain to see Sun Wukong, but now it's okay, he got a cold from playing cards with himself, and he must not be able to go out for a while. Xu Wu was overjoyed, and it was still too late to find Tang Sanzang, so he didn't stay anymore and rode back to the mountains on an electric car.
