() The woman glared at A Niu, then turned around and said to Wang Xiaobo with a smile: "Secretary, our A Niu has really changed his mind and stopped gambling a long time ago. Don't forget the villain's fault, let him go."
This time."
Wang Xiaobo wanted to laugh, but the woman said that her man had stopped gambling a long time ago, but subconsciously she still thought that her man was still gambling, so she even said let him go this time. He didn't say anything, so he just
Staring at A Niu, he said, "You used to like gambling, right? Then tell me, what do you like to play?"
A Niu blurted out: "Study."
"Oh, it's a five-card game. Okay, how about you bring me a deck of cards and let's compete?" Wang Xiaobo said seriously.
The villagers who were watching were all dumbfounded. It was incredible that a dignified secretary of the township party committee actually played cards with a gambler. The circle gradually narrowed, and they wanted to see how the secretary played cards.
Chen Dagou was a little anxious. Is the secretary confused? Why doesn't he play his cards according to common sense? He quickly reminded: "Secretary Wang, A Niu is a well-known gambler from all over the country."
Wang Xiaobo waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll just play with him and see the magic of A Niu."
A Niu thought, this guy really doesn’t know how to be brave. Okay, let me show you my magical card skills. Without saying anything, he took out a pair of unopened playing cards from the house and threw them into the courtyard.
On a small square table: "Can you check if there is anything wrong?"
Wang Xiaobo took the playing cards as if nothing had happened, and when he exerted force on his hands, the plastic paper packaging collapsed. He stacked his watches and placed them on the small square table, and skillfully played with the cards.
To be honest, Wang Xiaobo played red five-star in school and competed a lot for the upper hand. This was the stud game among the five brothers. When they had nothing to do that day, the second brother taught him once, and he only knew a rough idea. He said while playing cards: "Tell me.
How about the rules?”
"It turns out to be a Yanggu." Aniu thought to himself, and lost his earlier competitive spirit, and said calmly: "One dark card, four open cards, let's compare the big and small."
"Okay, let's get started." With that said, Wang Xiaobo asked A Niu to sign the cards, and then started playing.
The first card was a hidden card, and Wang Xiaobo handed it to A Niu and himself. The second card was an open card. A Niu got a King of Hearts, but he got a Five of Red Stars.
A Niu smiled, put the two cards together, squinted his eyes, opened the cards slightly to take a look, then quickly put them back together and asked, "What bet?"
Wang Xiaobo smiled: "In this way, each of our virtual funds is 10,000 yuan. If I lose, the 10,000 yuan will be cash. If you lose, you have to agree to a condition. How about that?"
When a gambler is in trouble, he can even take his wife, children, and parents as a gambler, let alone the secretary of the township party committee? And with such favorable conditions, he is obviously given 10,000 yuan. But what he says still sounds good.
: "Okay, what's the point of being respectful?"
One of the onlookers reminded: "It is better to obey orders than to be respectful."
"Yes! Yes! That's it." Aniu had to be a little more formal in front of the secretary.
Wang Xiaobo couldn't help but laughed and laughed: "Okay, you are the best, bid."
A Niu tentatively called out the first hand: "500 yuan."
Wang Xiaobo didn’t even look at his hole cards: “I’m going to double down.”
A Niu was startled. Why did the secretary bid double without even looking at his trump card? Could it be that he was mistaken and he was a master? It's impossible for such a young man. So he nodded: "Okay, follow up."
The third card, A Niu, was a q of hearts. Wang Xiaobo dealt himself an 8 of hearts. A Niu called again: "Add one thousand, the up card is higher than yours, do you still want to follow?"
Wang Xiaobo said with confidence: "Then follow."
As soon as the fourth card was dealt, Aniu looked at the opponent's 7 of diamonds and got a little excited: "I am the jack of hearts. Add another two thousand, and now it is four thousand. Do you still want to follow?"
Wang Xiaobo shook his head: "Why are they so bad? Let's try again."
The crowd of onlookers, as long as they knew a little bit, all shook their heads. The young secretary had four cards, three of which were smaller than ten, and he kept following him all the way. He was obviously "Yanggu", waiting for A Niu to suffer. Zai. Some people are even jealous. If they bet with me, then these ten thousand yuan will be mine.
Everyone clearly saw Wang Xiaobo's trembling hands as he dealt out the fifth card, A Niu with ten hearts and Wang Xiaobo with nine diamonds.
The atmosphere in the scene suddenly became tense. Both cards seemed to be straight. A Niu's card could be a, k, q, j, 10 or 9, 10, j, q, k, while Wang Xiaobo's card could be a, k, q, j, 10. There is only one possibility, hoping that the hole card is 6, that is, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 is a straight. If both cards are a straight, or neither is a straight, Aniu will definitely win, and only Only when Wang Xiaobo is a straight and A Niu is not a straight will he lose. Either the hole card and the up card make up a pair, which means A Niu has a greater chance of winning. Any pair will be better than Wang Xiaobo. .
A Niu had seen his hole cards and knew what his cards were, but he was a well-known gambler after all. He shouted without hesitation: "Stud." This meant that he bet all the remaining 6,000 yuan. Two eyes. They looked at each other strangely.
Wang Xiaobo said nothing, looked at A Niu intently for a while, and suddenly laughed loudly: "You are really a gambler, you are very good at cheating."
Although Ah Niu was surprised when he heard this, his face did not change and he just looked at him with a smile and said nothing.
Wang Xiaobo thought, this guy is really a veteran on the battlefield, he is not simple. He said: "Before the cards are played, I want to ask you a question, what is the purpose of your gambling?"
A Niu laughed loudly: "No need to ask, of course it's money."
Wang Xiaobo asked again: "If you knew someone was cheating, would you still gamble?"
"Then there is such a fool, "Yang Gu" will not go down." A Niu replied without hesitation.
Wang Xiaobo gave a thumbs up: "You are very smart, and you will never be a bad gambler. But I told you that if you bet ten thousand, you will bet nine thousand, do you believe it?"
A Niu became angry: "Whoever dares to play pawn in front of me will have to smash his hand."
Wang Xiaobo praised: "You are really full of blood, but can you see that the other party is cheating? For example, I just cheated, can you see it?"
A Niu was stunned there, blinking his eyes, looking completely unbelieving.
Wang Xiaobo smiled and said: "Well, let me tell you, your hole card is the 2 of spades, and it's useless for you to cheat, because I know what your hole card is."
A Niu looked at him in surprise. He was clearly staring at his hands but didn't see any movement from him. How could he know my trump card? He asked doubtfully: "Then you know your trump card without looking at it?"
"Of course, just because I know that is also a 5, which is a pair. Although it is not a big one, as long as you don't make a pair, I will follow you all the way. What do you think, are you convinced?" Wang Xiaobo said. His trump card, the 5 of diamonds, was turned over.
Ah Niu was really convinced now and murmured to himself: "Master, really a master."
What he said was tantamount to admitting that his trump card was the 2 of spades.
There was a "wow" and applause broke out. The onlookers looked at Wang Xiaobo with admiration, and some were already muttering in their hearts, looking for a reason to worship him as their teacher.
Wang Xiaobo waved his hand and stood up: "Actually, I don't know much about Stud, but there is a truth that I understand. As long as you know the opponent's cards in card gambling, you will be much more sure of winning. Isn't this the truth? ah?"
"Yes! That's for sure." "If you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle." People talked about it and expressed their agreement.
Wang Xiaobo thought, it seems that there are not a few people in this village who like gambling. This education by showing up is really a mistake.
In rural areas, especially in mountainous areas, because there are relatively few fields, people like to do small things when they have nothing to do, such as one-cent or two-cent gambling, and spend their good time at the gambling table, thereby losing the opportunity to make a fortune. Opportunity. He already had preliminary ideas for developing production in Da'ao Village. Therefore, the bad gambling habit must be stopped.
So, he took the opportunity and said: "Perhaps everyone thinks that I am a gambling secretary and a master. Some of them want to become my teacher, right?"
The crowd around burst into laughter, and the bolder ones said: "Secretary, if you want to accept a disciple, I will be the first to sign up."
Wang Xiaobo smiled slightly: "Actually, I don't know anything about gambling, I just have a quick eye. Have you seen the watch on the table? It is a prop that can be used locally. When I dealt the first card , through this table, reflecting the cards, of course we know what A Niu’s hidden card is. Of course, we also know the following cards in advance, so we follow it all the way.”
A Niu didn't believe it and ran over to look at the watch. Wang Xiaobo had no choice but to slowly move the cards over the surface. Sure enough, the cards were clearly reflected on the surface. However, once the cards were dealt normally, he couldn't see it at all. Without coming out, I couldn't help but secretly admire the young secretary's vision.
"Now, do you understand? You can play cards for fun. But once you reach the realm of gambling, everyone will be jealous and will do everything possible to plot against you. Just like me, in order to win you, I don't know how to gamble. People will also take advantage of my good judgment, not to mention other people. They all have various specialties more or less. If they want to plot against you, it will take every second. You think your level is good, but why do you always Lose? That’s the problem." Wang Xiaobo hit the nail on the head.
A Niu always thought that his card skills were very good, but the more he lost, the more dissatisfied he became. Only now did he understand that relying on card skills alone was useless in gambling, as one also needed "thousands". Thinking about how pitiful he was before, he really lost all this money. Not for nothing, he lowered his head in shame.
Wang Xiaobo knew that he had regrets, so he patted his shoulder and said, "I'm willing to admit defeat. You have to agree to one condition."
