......

It was such a strange night.

The girl named Fang Xiayu stood quietly in the poorly lit room, watching a group of villains she usually avoided playing stud around the square table, and in her little hand was a hole card, which belonged to the dwarf who was holding a Chinese cigarette with crumbs of herbs.

"Three with one, ugly brother, are you still with you? It's very risky. Directly opposite the short man sitting lazily on the rib bench was a man with broad shoulders and a strong waist, and at this moment, he had three eights of spades.

"Heel, add 10 pieces of ocean. The dwarf lazily took out a crumpled renminbi from his pocket and threw it on the table, then glanced at the remaining three people, and said, "How many of you?"

"Not anymore. Ugly brother, our luck is not good, we are all pairs. Not as bold as you. The three men shook their heads at the same time and said.

"It's really unproductive. Let's have a showdown. The dwarf glanced at the three of them, then smiled and glared at the nervous girl and said, "Xia Yu, let them open their eyes." ”

"Ahh The girl swallowed, and then turned over the hole card in her hand, which was a 6 of hearts, and the remaining people also opened the hole cards one after another, but they were all fragmented cards, and they could not make four of a kind or a gourd.

"Damn, it's actually four, ugly brother, you won again. We served. When they saw the four sixes in the dwarf's hand, the four men present all let out a cry of sorrow to the sky.

"Beauty, good luck, we won again. Giving your cards to you is like handing them over to Tika, the goddess of luck. The dwarf gave a thumbs up to the girl behind him. The girl's pretty face suddenly flushed slightly, but the corners of her mouth were uncontrollably soft smiles.

"Ugly brother, your luck is also a little better, you have been playing in the afternoon and evening, why haven't you lost much?" The man with a relatively slender figure among the four said unwillingly.

The dwarf smiled proudly, shook off a pinch of cigarette ash from the cigarette butt in his mouth, and lit his not too big brain and said:

"If you're stupid, don't blame others for being smart. Stud is an art of the brain. As long as you are good at calculating, can calculate the odds of each person's hand, and choose the best time to follow, at least you can ensure that you are not defeated. ”

"How can we have such a skill as you, ugly brother. If you continue like this, sooner or later, you will lose all the change in your pocket. The four of them said helplessly. "Take a break. Don't play anymore. And also hungry. Ugly brother, we haven't eaten dinner yet, you have collected all the money in our pockets, and you have a treat. ”

"Okay. The dwarf neatly arranged the playing cards on the table, and then turned his head to the side while holding the boogers, and the stunned girl took out two hundred yuan and said, "Xia Yu, the money is for you, go to the nearby food stall to buy some spicy tang and come back." ”

"Ugly brother, you ...... Let me buy it?" the girl seemed to be unable to believe that the short man would ask her to help go out and buy dinner.

"Yes~ Add more pepper and chili sauce, the taste of our group is heavier. The dwarf shook his hand.

"Ugly brother, do you really want me to go?" The girl took the money from the dwarf in her hand, her eyes were bright, and she still stood in place and did not dare to move a step.

"yes, that's you. You don't know how to play poker, and you don't have any money. So it's just you, what's the problem? Oh. It's raining outside, don't forget to grab an umbrella. Go early and come back early. The dwarf clapped his hands, then returned to the table, and without looking at the girl, he said to the other four, "Okay, stud is tired of playing, let's play German UNO." ”

The four of them were unmoved, dumbfounded, and looked at the dwarf in a daze, and then looked at the girl behind the dwarf, who was breathing a little disordered, as if they couldn't believe that the dwarf would be so relieved to let the girl leave here and buy outside.

"Why don't you go soon?" the dwarf glanced at Fang Xiayu and urged.

"Oh, oh......" The girl's face changed again and again, and finally, at the urging of the dwarf, she finally moved her stiff steps, clenched the small hand holding the banknote, turned her body, and walked out of the room unhurriedly.

Syllable.

The black iron door was gently closed, and the girl's figure disappeared outside the door.

The brightly lit room has reverted to dead silence.

In the room, only the sound of the dwarf shuffling cards still resounded.

It took a while for someone to speak:

"Ugly brother, how did you ask Fang Xiayu to buy Malatang, what if she ran away?"

"Don't worry, she'll be back. The dwarf said without raising his head.

"However, in case ......" the other three couldn't sit still. "What if she does run away?"

"Then let her run. Anyway, we're on the run, so it's not convenient to take her with us, isn't it?" the dwarf smiled bitterly.

"But what if she calls the police?" the crowd was still worried.

"......" This time, the dwarf was silent, he silently stared at the cards in his hand, took a deep breath of cigarette, and then suddenly looked up at the people in front of him, and said, "Hehe, you probably don't know." Sometimes, when you stare into a person's eyes, you can see the essence of a person. I said that Fang Xiayu would come back, and she would definitely come back. ”

"The determination and courage required to run away and the determination required to call the police are completely two levels. If the probability of running away is 50%, then the chance of her calling the police will not be 20% at best. ”

The dwarf smiled, then rubbed his face, shook his hand, and said:

"Let's get on with our game. ”

Even though the dwarf said this, the gloom on everyone's faces remained undiminished.

"By the way, ugly brother, Gao Xueqin called you before, saying that he was chased and killed by the man named Wang Shengsheng, and he was also pursued by the police, and he wanted to take refuge in you, and you agreed to him. Are you really going to take him in?" said Ash, who couldn't let go.

"What do you say, little Grey?" the dwarf asked, raising his eyes.

"I'm afraid that this matter is fraudulent, maybe it's a trap or not. Last time, if it wasn't for you venting evil anger on that kid, we wouldn't have been stabbed by the Wuxi police. Don't be angry with me for speaking straight, ugly brother, in fact, I really don't like Gao Xueqin's kid. Although ugly brother, you cover him in every way. Little Ash said sadly.

"Haha. Everything has a cause and an effect, we have come to this point, in fact, I am also to blame, compared to hating Gao Xueqin, you still hate me, little gray gray. As for Gao Xueqin's side, there may indeed be fraud. The chance is almost fifty percent, if that kid has now fallen into the hands of someone else and is forced to trick me out, Lao Tzu will be in big trouble. The dwarf said helplessly, "But after all, I can't let him go." Otherwise, I'm sorry for the teacher Gao Qinghua who slept underground. ”

The dwarf wiped his lips and sighed leisurely: "People can forget their roots. But after all, you can't be ungrateful. Although the human affection is cold, but I have been traveling south and north for more than ten years, if I don't believe in the word grace in the back, I would have pierced my heart and died countless times.

"This time is the biggest gamble in Lao Tzu's life. Bring more people and try not to go wrong. Taking in Gao Xueqin this time is Lao Tzu's last debt, and after paying off this debt, Lao Tzu will not owe anyone a son in the future. ”
