I turned around and saw two long queues of taxis on both sides of the road.
There were also a few random miscellaneous cars and vans mixed in among them.
"Xiao Liuye, I searched all over Dali City yesterday. All the cars that can be rented are here. In the end, I had no choice but to use taxis to top up..."
“As long as you have a car!”
I stood up and said again:
"Everyone, let's start work now. Go meet this Tang Lao Gua!"
This time when we start work, what I want is a huge fanfare.
The road in the old city is not good. After a bumpy ride, our car stopped first in front of a row of buildings.
Before getting off the car, the middle-parted man pointed to a small building in the middle and said:
"This is it, but we are all neighbors, so I won't go in with you..."
I knew that the middle-parted man was afraid of being retaliated against later, so I didn’t say anything.
After getting out of the car, I walked into the alley with Huangzi, Xiaoduo and Hong Ye.
The sun in Dali is very strong, so you need to wear long shirts and long trousers in the morning and evening, but the temperature is very high at noon, so a short-sleeved shirt is enough.
As soon as you enter the yard, you will see a rocking chair placed at the door.
A fat man was lying on a rocking chair with his eyes closed and a pair of lion heads in his hands.
There is a small coffee table next to it, with a radio and a teapot on it.
Seeing us come in, he opened his eyes slightly, took a look, and asked lazily:
"For what?"
"Play with both hands!"
"It looks strange, where did it come from?"
“I heard someone introduce me to it!”
The fat man closed his eyes again, looking indifferent.
"Bring enough tickets, we don't have anyone to count them here!"
Huangzi chuckled, walked up to the fat man, patted the fat man's belly like a pot lid, and said familiarly:
"I'm really not bragging to you. Now, all we have left is money if we are poor!"
The fat man didn't even raise his eyelids, the corners of his mouth twitched and he snorted coldly.
He regarded Huangzi's words as bragging.
When you open the door and go in, you'll be greeted by the smell of smoke and alcohol mixed with moisture.
Throughout the venue, there were seven or eight dilapidated gambling tables scattered across the place.
In the corner next to it, there is a broken table with mottled paint.
Two gamblers were leaning against the table, their hair disheveled and their eyes red and swollen, eating instant noodles.
There were quite a lot of people in the place, and the most popular ones were at the dice table.
And their dice cup seems to have nothing to do with casinos. It is placed in a large coarse porcelain bowl and covered with a plate.
A big man with bare arms and a towel hanging around his neck was standing in front of the table and shouting vigorously:
"Hold on tight, I won't be held responsible if you let it go!"
Everyone placed their bets one after another, and I squeezed in, casually placing five hundred yuan.
After everyone had finished eating, the big man held the bowls and plates with both hands and shook them vigorously.
I stood there and listened.
The moment the big bowl was placed on the table, I heard that it should be 3, 5, 6, and 14 o'clock. And I happened to have the big one too.
"If you open the bowl to the east, you will definitely kill everyone!"
As he spoke, the big man lifted the plate toward the east.
The people watching immediately sighed "Alas".
The three dice in the bowl turned out to be Leopard One.
It was just like what this big man said, he killed the leopard without killing it.
I stared at the dice and smiled to myself.
I was listening to the dice carefully just now. Emotions are a coded dice.
The big man collected all the money on the table with a rake and laughed loudly and said:
"Look at how cowardly you all look. There were only two leopards this morning, and each one of you has a sad face. If you are like this, why are you gambling? Go home and feed your children!"
Everyone also laughed and cursed at him, but it did not affect their continued betting at all.
Seeing that everyone was about to finish serving, the big man was also preparing to cover the bowl. I suddenly asked:
"Brother, this is my first time here. Is there a limit on betting here?"
The big man looked at me with a smile. He took a towel and wiped his face.
Then he raised his eyebrows, with a hint of provocation, and said with a smile:
"Rich man? How much do you want to bet?"
I didn't say anything, so I turned back and got a cloth bag from Mr. Hong's hand.
He took out ten wads of money and gestured at the big man.
"Brother, that's it, one hundred thousand. Do you want to take it?"
Although one hundred thousand yuan is a lot of money, it is not a big sum of money on the gambling table.
Although everyone was a little surprised, they didn't make a fuss.
The big man curled his lips and said:
"How much will I bet? Take it and put it down!"
I smiled and said:
"Brother is very generous. I just want to say more. Can I make a request..."
"you say!"
"You shake it and I'll open the bowl. Is that okay?"
The big man's eyes were rolling, and when he thought about it, the gamblers next to him became a little anxious.
Everyone talked loudly and said:
"If you let it bloom, will it still produce flowers?"
"Stop being so long and get started!"
The big man was hesitating when a lazy voice suddenly came from behind him:
"Let him drive!"
When he looked back, he saw Tang Lao Gua, holding a lion's head in his hand, standing on the outskirts of the crowd with his eyes narrowed.
I turned around and gave Tang Laogua a thumbs up and said flatteringly:
“The boss is awesome!”
With that said, I put all the 100,000 yuan on Leopard.
ah?
For a moment, there was a sound of surprise all around me.
Everyone looked at me as if they were a fool.
I don't blame them, anyone who can place such a bet is either a fool or crazy about money.
Some people were joking with Tang Laogua.
"Lao Gua, if I win, can you afford to pay for it?"
Tang Laogua was just like before, just snorting and not speaking.
The big man picked up the bowl again and shook it vigorously.
Only this time, his expression was not as relaxed as before.
Instead, he stared at me with a fierce look in his eyes.
Everyone was still shouting "big" and "little", no one believed that I would win this move.
With a "bang" sound, the dishes fell onto the table.
The big man took his hands away and gestured at me.
"Come on, don't you want to drive?"
Although no one believed that I would win, when the mystery was about to be revealed.
The gamblers around seemed a little nervous.
Everyone was staring at my hands, and the moment my two hands touched the plate.
I was about to move when the big man suddenly said:
"Wait a moment!"
Um?
I looked up at the big man in confusion.
"Open with one hand!"
The big man stared at me and said coldly.
"Are you still using both hands?"
There are gamblers who fight for me.
But the big man didn't answer and still stared at me.
I let go of one hand and gently placed my fingers on the edge of the plate.
Suddenly, I hooked my finger and the plate flew up.
Everyone around him immediately let out a cry of surprise.
There was a "pop" sound and the plate fell to the ground.
The three dice in the bowl were also revealed to everyone.
At this moment, there was complete silence around me.
Everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at me with incredible eyes.
I was still smiling, and the three dice in the bowl turned out to be three ones.
