I didn't understand Ma Fei's hint, but I didn't dare to delay, so I immediately followed them out.
People outside were still sitting around the table, but the card game had been suspended. An empty seat was vacated across from Liang Chenghua. Ma Fei asked me to sit down, and he stood behind Liang Chenghua again. Seven or eight people were smoking or counting in silence.
Qian didn't squint, and seemed not to feel my presence at all. Only Liang Chenghua looked at me and asked a few words calmly.
His voice is very hoarse, and his intonation is very strange. It's like a hodgepodge of Henan dialect, Shandong dialect, Hebei dialect, and Hubei dialect mixed together. It also seems to have a faint Sichuan accent. Just from the way he speaks, you can't tell where he is from.
Some people can’t even tell whether they are from the north or from the south.
Liang Chenghua's questions were almost all related to Jiang Bei and the old man. They were very directional. If you were not a very familiar person, there would probably be loopholes in your answers. Fortunately, I had made very careful preparations in advance, so I should be able to answer my questions without any leaks.
Liang Chenghua didn't know if he was satisfied with my answer, so he suddenly picked up two dominoes and asked, "Can you play?"
I looked at it and nodded. They were playing Pai Gow with 32 cards. Jiangbei also played the same way. Winning and losing were quick and very exciting. Many of the old man’s guys were fond of gambling. I’ve been hanging out with these people since I was a kid.
I can’t say I’m proficient in various gambling methods, but at least I know them all.
"Play two." Liang Chenghua threw down the dominoes and said, "Ma Fei, shuffle the cards."
I thought to myself why this group of people behaved so strangely. They only took six fingers off people, had to bare their buttocks for body searches, and had to play cards when they met. Ma Fei over there started shuffling the cards quickly, his movements were smooth and smooth, and his skills were incomparable.
Skillful, you can tell at a glance that he paid tuition fees in his early years. The thirty-two long and narrow dominoes are like thirty-two shrunken black coffins, neatly arranged in two layers, with a total of sixteen tricks.
"I'll be the dealer." Liang Chenghua rolled two dice and said, "The way we play here is very special. We look at the cards first and then place our bets."
In Pai Gow, bets are usually placed first and then the cards are dealt. Winning or losing is determined by fate. Except for cheating, luck is very important. What Liang Chenghua said about looking at the cards first and then placing bets is indeed a very different way of playing, especially detrimental to the dealer. The brain
People who are not fashionable usually don't play like this.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding…
The two dice rotated back and forth in the bowl, and finally slowly stopped at the bottom of the bowl. Liang Chenghua dealt cards to the people on the table according to the number of points thrown.
I picked up the two dominoes in front of me. The first one was Zawu, which was a very ordinary card. I rubbed the second one, which was a Zaliu. Together they made a total of one. The smaller ones couldn’t be any smaller. This type of dominoes
There is a very vivid saying about cards, which is called five or six cowards. It can only be better than ten. Although theoretically it cannot be said that you will lose 100% if you get such a card on the card table, the chance of winning is extremely small. If you are lucky enough to win,
, I should go back to burn incense on my ancestors’ graves and pay homage.
Liang Chenghua also looked at his cards, looked at me calmly, and said, "Place your bet."
Everyone else put 30,000 to 50,000 yuan in front of them and placed bets one after another. I was dumbfounded. I only had a thousand yuan in my pocket, which was not enough to make me miserable. Liang Chenghua’s indifferent eyes showed a hint of joking and said to me: "
Everything on your body can be used as a bet, for example, a bet on your hand."
I didn't know how to answer Liang Chenghua's words, so I glanced around nervously. When I saw the expressionless Ma Fei, I suddenly thought of what he just said to me like a mosquito: Don't be afraid of big bets.
Just bet!
If it were on a regular gambling table, it would be impossible for any gambler to use the cards in my hand to gamble, because the chance of winning is too small. But this was probably a routine arranged by Liang Chenghua in advance, and I immediately thought
After being convinced, he said calmly: "I'm betting."
"Okay." Liang Chenghua pushed forward about 70,000 to 80,000 yuan of banknotes in front of him: "If you lose, you lose one hand. You can do whatever you want with your left or right hand. If I lose, the money belongs to you."
You're not fucking stupid, I thought to myself, and Liang Chenghua added solemnly: "What I say here is ironclad. I am willing to admit defeat. If I lose, I will do it."
He said it harshly, but I knew it was an act, but if I was too calm, it would look fake, so I pretended to be nervous and thought hard for at least two minutes, stealing glances at Liang Chenghua from time to time, and finally gritted my teeth.
, showing a standard gambler's expression of life and death. In the underground casinos in Jiangbei, I have seen too many gamblers who put all their money on the line. All their fortunes were bet on a handful of cards. Winning, life,
If you lose, you will die. I don't have any experience with them, but I can learn their expressions and demeanor.
"Open the cards!" I raised my voice intentionally, and my hands trembled slightly at the same time.
As soon as my five or six bastards were revealed on the table, Liang Chenghua looked at my cards with great interest and asked, "Aren't you afraid of losing?"
"You deserve to die but you cannot live, you deserve to live but you cannot die."
Liang Chenghua didn't say anything else. He stretched out his hand to push all the money over, stood up and went upstairs. At the same time, he also said: "Ma Fei, take this man with you first and tell him the rules."
As soon as Liang Chenghua left, everyone in the circle breathed a sigh of relief. Someone turned over the cards that Liang Chenghua had not revealed. The tiger head matched the mixed nine, and the smallest one was the dead ten. Ma Fei straightened the money and brought it to me. This girl
His hands are really fast. I clearly saw a total of seven bundles of banknotes. After he delivered them, there was suddenly a bundle missing, and there were people next to me who were smiling evilly.
The land in the countryside is not valuable, and the houses are very big, but three people need to sleep in one room. I know that everyone here is spying on each other, and I don’t know what the other empty rooms are used for. The rest of the people are here
Continuing to play cards, Ma Fei took me to make the bed. He waited until there was no one else around us and then said softly: "You were pretending to be the truth just now. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to calm down and just showed your cards."
"I know it's just an act."
"Acting? Liang Chenghua keeps his word. If you lose, you will definitely lose one hand!"
I was immediately speechless. At the same time, I felt a cold shuoshing up the soles of my feet, all the way to the Tianling Cap. Ma Fei showed a teasing smile: "But don't be afraid, I shuffled the cards, you can't lose."
Because he was afraid that others would be suspicious if he stayed for a long time, Ma Fei explained a few words and said that the time was still long. He would elaborate on the situation here when he had the opportunity. After thinking about it, he continued: "There may be something unusual when I go to bed at night."
Don't worry about the situation, it doesn't matter."
"What?"
"I'll get you some food later. There's medicine in these things. Liang Chenghua added them himself. You must eat them, otherwise the secret will be exposed."
"Add medicine? What medicine should be added?"
"I don't know what kind of medicine it is, but you will feel sleepy after eating something..."
When he said this, the people playing cards below may have dispersed. Ma Fei turned up the volume with a straight face and told me such and such rules. These rules are strict. They don't need to be modified. They can be used as regulations in the army.
use.
Then, Ma Fei brought me some food, and someone came back to the room, so there was no more words between us.
Looking at the food in front of me, I was puzzled, but Ma Fei said everything, so I had to eat it.
I ate slowly. The two people in the room with me were both nearly thirty years old. They ignored me and rarely talked to each other. After entering the room, they took out several colorful illustrated magazines and read them.
About an hour later, someone turned off the lights in the room.
At this time, I felt a little dizzy in my head, my eyelids felt very sleepy, and I wanted to sleep. In less than three minutes, the sleepiness became so intense that I couldn't resist it.
When I woke up, it was almost noon the next day. I slept very deeply and didn't even dream. As for whether something happened overnight, I can't tell at all. In short, I had a feeling in my heart.
Furry feeling.
When I woke up, the two people in the same room were leaning on the bed. They glanced at me and then each did their own thing. I didn't dare to strike up a conversation with them, so I just sat and waited. After a long time, Ma Fei came and said that Liang Chenghua wanted to
see me.
I thought I was going to have a second trial, and I recited my family background silently in my mind to avoid being nervous and making mistakes. But Liang Chenghua didn't say anything after seeing me, and just asked me to put my left hand on the table.
After he said this, the weird feeling in my heart resurfaced, and it was indeed related to my left hand. I obediently put my hand on the table, and Ma Fei took photos from several angles.
After the photo was taken, Liang Chenghua asked me to go back.
While delivering lunch, I had a brief chat with Ma Fei. He didn’t know why he wanted to take photos of his six fingers, and his own six fingers were also taken when he first came here. But after several observations
, Ma Fei speculated that the photos taken may have been sent to other places for other people to see.
If Ma Fei's speculation is correct, it means that Liang Chenghua is just a link in this incident, and there must be someone behind him.
Ma Fei doesn't have many opportunities to communicate with me for the time being, so I have to rely on my own observation to explore some things. However, the time I have been here is too short, and I can see very few things. I only know that the living conditions of the people here are better than I imagined.
There are so many people, almost everyone wears expensive watches, drinks Maotai Wuliangye, smokes Chinese Jade River soft drinks, and has cars bringing seafood from the hotel in Huangpi. Moreover, I discovered a very important problem, the people in the whole house
Except for Ma Fei and me, everyone else's hands seemed to be normal.
What's going on? Before I came here, I knew that Liang Chenghua only accepted people with six fingers, but there was a huge discrepancy between what I knew and the actual situation. I couldn't help it, so I went to Ma Fei to ask, and Ma Fei said that those without six fingers were
This person is Liang Chenghua's old teammate from the past. Since he sneaked in, everyone who comes again is indeed a six-fingered person, but almost everyone doesn't stay long and disappears after staying for a few days.
