But the old Mr. Wu in front of me completely impressed me.
Seeing that I was still staring at the cards, Mr. Wu ignored me.
He flicked the bangs in front of his forehead coolly and said proudly:
"Come on, I won't play with you little swindler anymore. I have to go..."
With that said, Mr. Wu took the purple clay pot and turned around to leave.
"Wait a moment!"
I said hurriedly.
"what?"
"You just said you have to promise me something if you lose!"
Mr. Old Wu's eyes were spinning.
"Say, what's going on?"
I pointed to the playing cards on the tree and said:
"I want you to teach me how to fly cards and play dice!"
"You think so beautifully!"
Boss Wu didn't even think about it and refused immediately.
His expression was very determined.
Looking at it, there seems to be no room for relaxation.
I know.
At this time, I must change my strategy.
Looking at Mr. Wu, I sneered.
"Ordinarily, you are already over sixty years old. According to your age, you are a respected senior. You also claim to be a superb gambler, but you are willing to accept defeat. Don't you understand?"
Boss Wu raised the corners of his mouth and said disdainfully:
"I don't understand! Little bastard, don't play aggressive tricks with me, it's useless! Master Wu won't strangle you unless he eats dog meat!"
"Okay! Then starting tomorrow, I will hire a hundred people to hang a banner behind you. It says that Mr. Wu is willing to gamble and refuse to admit defeat, and will not admit defeat if he loses. I will let them follow you wherever you go."
Let me see who else will bet with you in the future!"
Old Wu's eyes stood up and he threatened me loudly.
"Little bastard, how dare you?"
"I dare!"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Old Mr. Wu suddenly became wilted.
After hesitating for a while, he reluctantly said:
"Flying cards and playing dice are two different things. I can only promise you one thing!"
"Then fly the cards!"
"Okay, but I have two conditions!"
"you say……"
"Tell me, who is your master?"
"Sixth Master!"
"Fart, your name is Chu Liu, and his name is Liu Ye? Is he your grandfather?"
"no!"
"Then what's his name?"
"Sixth Master!"
Old Mr. Wu was speechless.
"Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you little brat. The second thing is, after you finish your studies, help me make a bet with someone!"
"no problem!"
I happily agreed.
I felt even more excited.
It's been a long time since I felt this excited.
Once you learn this hand of flying cards.
If nothing else, at least there is something going on in the gambling game.
Self-protection should be no problem.
Of course, I'm greedy.
In addition to flying cards, I must also find a way to play dice and let the old guy teach me.
These days, I hang out with Old Boss Wu every day.
Follow him and learn flying cards.
Because the technique of flying cards is similar to that of Qian Shu.
Therefore, I can master the technique very quickly.
The only things that need to be studied are speed, strength and accuracy.
Mr. Lao Wu doesn't have any secrets.
Tell me all the clever ways.
Of course, after he finished speaking, he ignored me and went to find a place to play by himself. He left me at home and practiced slowly in front of the paper shell.
Mr. Lao Wu is a very interesting person.
He loses almost every day.
But he clearly knows that I am a scammer.
But he didn't even mention asking me to help him translate the book.
This afternoon, I finished practicing flying cards.
Then get ready to take a bath.
Tomorrow is Su Mei's birthday.
I want to pay back the two hundred thousand I owe her.
I called Su Mei, she just woke up.
She said she would have to go to work later and I asked her to contact her later.
I went out alone.
Just as I was about to take a taxi, my cell phone in my pocket suddenly rang.
Take it out and take a look.
The call was from old smoker Zhu Ge.
As soon as I picked up the phone, I didn’t even have time to say anything.
I heard Brother Zhu coughing from the other end.
Then he said:
"On the sixth day of the lunar month, do you have time? Let's meet up?"
"good!"
After I told him the address, I stood on the street waiting for him.
After the incident between Qian Laoba and Zheng Laochu last time, we never contacted each other again.
I guess he came to me because of the game.
Not long after, I saw a military green 213 parked next to me.
The car is very dirty.
There are mud spots and gray stains on it.
As soon as I stopped, I heard the voice of old smoker Zhu Ge coming from inside the car.
"Brother Chu, get in the car..."
Open the door and get in the car.
Even with the windows open.
But the smell of smoke is still very strong in the car.
Brother Zhu still had a cigarette in his hand.
I doubt it sometimes.
Does Brother Zhu keep twitching as long as he doesn't sleep?
If you smoke like this, you will die sooner or later.
"Brother, I heard that a new place has opened up front. A friend of mine went there. It is said that it is quite formal and fair. Many people have won money there these days..."
regular?
fair?
I wanted to laugh a little when I heard that.
All casinos around the world, whether they have gambling licenses issued by local governments or underground black casinos.
I've never seen a fair one.
Take the so-called formal casino in Haojiang for example.
Even if the casino doesn’t sell a thousand dollars.
But even a pump of water can drain you to death.
Not to mention some other off-board tricks.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Brother Zhu added another sentence.
"I didn't go either, I just heard what my friends told me. Maybe the casino just opened and I let it slip on purpose. If you're fine, let's go and have a look?"
"good!"
I nodded in agreement.
It's okay now, just go hang out.
On the way, Brother Zhu and I chatted casually.
Brother Zhu suddenly asked me:
"I heard that that day at the Huilin Hotel, Qian Laoba's brother had his fingers cut off..."
I nodded slightly.
I understand what he means.
Although he was not sure whether it was me who did it.
But he could also guess that it would have something to do with me.
After all, I asked him to pretend that day.
I didn't pick up his topic.
For Brother Zhu, we just cooperate.
As for trust, we can't talk about it at all right now.
I deliberately changed the subject and asked him:
"How far is it?"
"Right away, it's on the eighth road not far ahead..."
Eighth road?
I couldn't help but be stunned.
Bama Road and Tianxiang Bathing are only one street apart.
Start at this place.
Isn't it obvious that he is competing with Zou Xiaoxian?
Dare to compete with the eldest daughter of the Zou family.
This boss's background is definitely quite big.
Not long after.
We arrived at Eighth Avenue.
"That's it!"
What Brother Zhu was pointing at was an eight-story building.
"here?"
I asked back with some doubts.
The exterior wall of this building is still being renovated.
There are three shining golden plaques on the roof.
Covered in red satin.
This will be revealed when it opens for business.
But through the satin.
You can still clearly see the name of this building.
"Ride the Elephant Tower!"
Celestial signs, riding elephants.
This is obviously for Zou Xiaoxian's celestial phenomenon.
Seeing that I didn't move, Brother Zhu explained to me:
"The venue is on the eighth floor. I heard that downstairs are a nightclub, guest rooms, and a Chinese restaurant. They will be renovated soon. The boss is very ambitious. This is a one-stop shop for eating, drinking, and having fun, so he can handle it all..."
