Chapter 9 Gambling
The three brothers Lu Zhong were on duty last month in the second half of the night, and this month was on duty during the day. Zhao Siyan also brought wine to the evening, and they drank it for more than an hour before they finished. Lu Cheng finished eating early, but Lu Zhong was at home, so he was not easy to practice and could only look at him.
"Cheng'er, your adoptive father has drunk too much, please send him back to the village." Lu Zhong pushed open the door. As soon as Lu Cheng was lying on the bed, looking at the roof bored, his heart suddenly felt inexplicably painful. If he was a martial arts practitioner, he might be regulating his breath and meditating at this time, and he is stepping up his practice, right?
"Yes." Lu Cheng agreed, but he just helped Xie Naxin out of the door, but Xie Naxin stopped. At this time, his eyes were bright and he looked drunk.
"Entertainment Father, aren't you drunk?" Lu Cheng looked surprised. He never thought that adults would deceive adults.
"Cheng'er, you go back first." Xie Naxin looked at the Sifang Gambling House with the sign hanging in front of him and said with a smile. He was embarrassed by Lu Zhong and Zhao Siyan just now. He often came to Lu Cheng for free and had no choice but to pretend to be drunk, but as soon as he came out and saw Sifang Gambling House, he immediately forgot everything.
"Entertainment Father, my father asked me to take you back. I won't go back until you are home." Lu Cheng said stubbornly.
"Okay, my adoptive father will take you to see the most wonderful things in this world." Xie Naxin said with a smile. He and Zhao Siyan never married in his life. Zhao Siyan likes to go to Huamanlou, and most of his monthly money is spent there. His interest is in Sifang Gambling. Although he loses more than he wins less, compared with Zhao Siyan, at least he has a chance to get back money.
The Sifang Gambling House was very lively. When I lifted up the curtain and walked in, it was crowded and bustling. There were several large tables inside, and each table was surrounded by people. Xie Naxin took Lu Cheng to the gambling table. When he arrived at the gambling table, Xie Naxin seemed to have become a different person and was full of energy. Lu Cheng looked around, and he was already excited and at a loss.
After only looking at it for a while, Lu Cheng understood the rules. In fact, it is very simple, it is to bet on the size. If the points of the three dice are added up to four to ten, it is small, and eleven to seventeen, it is large. If the points of the three dice are the same, it is a leopard, and the dealer can kill it.
Although it is simple, the people who play are crazy. Xie Naxin originally told Lu Cheng not to run around, but when he arrived at the gambling table, he completely forgot about this. He took out all the copper coins he had on his body and started betting. It is late now, and Xie Naxin's money has almost lost. This copper coins are the last money he has on him.
When he took it out, a copper coin fell out and rolled in front of Lu Cheng. He grabbed it and wanted to hand it to Xie Naxin.
"Buy food for you." Xie Naxin smiled. Since the money has reached Lu Cheng, it should be his. As a gambler, he believes in these rules very much.
"Thank you, your adopted father." Lu Cheng said happily. Although he often goes to drink, he has never had private money.
Lu Cheng didn't place a bet and kept watching. He hoped that Xie Naxin would win more money, but unfortunately, Xie Naxin's luck was very bad. He lost all his copper coins soon.
"Cheng'er..." After Xie Naxin lost everything, he flipped his left and then, but he couldn't find a copper plate. He suddenly saw that Lu Cheng had a copper plate in his hand. For a gambler, even if it was a copper plate, it meant infinite hope.
"Entertainment Father, this is mine." Lu Cheng shrank his hand and said in pain. The money he had just obtained was taken away immediately, so he was naturally unwilling to accept it.
"I'm the foster father borrowed you. I'll pay you a monthly fee in a few days and I'll pay you back soon." Xie Naxin was already in a state of red.
"Xie Guard, can a copper plate be used to make a profit? I think you'd better go back to sleep." The dealer was a middle-aged man. Seeing that Xie Naxin was going to borrow money from Lu Cheng, he said with a sneer.
"Entertainment Father, I'll place a bet for you." Lu Cheng suddenly said when Xie Naxin saw that Xie Naxin's face looked ugly. Xie Naxin basically threw his monthly money in the gambling house and rarely won money. But this was not difficult for Lu Cheng. He accidentally released a wisp of sensation just now. He could "see" clearly what the dice in the dice Gu was.
"Okay, you come and make a move." As long as Xie Naxin has a bet, it doesn't matter who will place the bet. What he likes is the moment when he lifts the dice after placing the bet.
"I bet on the little one." After Lu Cheng stopped the dice Gu, he bet on the copper coin with a big word "small".
"Chenger, I think I should buy big ones, and I have driven three small ones." Xie Naxin reminded that although there is no probability of this, he felt that he had driven three small ones in a row, and the chance of driving small ones is not high now.
But Lu Cheng was unmoved. Xie Naxin relied on feelings, and he relied on induction. Xie Naxin often made mistakes in his feelings, but his induction never deceived him. After the Gu was opened, it was indeed as expected, two, three, and eight o'clock.
"Cheng'er, you are indeed my money-giving boy." Xie Naxin said happily. Although he only won one copper coin, he felt different. He lost several consecutive games and lost all the money. However, as soon as Lu Cheng put the bet, he won immediately. He felt that his luck was about to bet.
Next, Lu Cheng bet five times in a row, from two copper plates to four, four to eight, eight to sixteen, sixteen to thirty-two, thirty-two to sixty-four. He won six times in a row, even though Xie Naxin had been betting for decades, it was very rare. Not to mention Xie Naxin, even Lu Cheng noticed that the entire gambling table looked at him. Some people from other gambling tables also gathered on this table.
"Cheng'er, hurry up and suppress it." Xie Naxin did not notice this, but just kept urging Lu Cheng to bet.
"Bet big." Lu Cheng grabbed a handful of copper coins and bet on the big character. When the people next to him saw Lu Cheng put the bet, they bet the big ones, but there was no copper coins on the small ones.
The dealer was a little nervous at this time. He had been in the casino for decades, and it was the first time he had encountered one-sided situation. He looked at Lu Cheng with some resentment. If this kid's luck was still so good, the casino would have to pay a lot of money today.
"Open it!"
"Drive quickly!"
Under the urging of everyone, the dealer unwilling to open the Gu. As soon as he picked up the Gu cover, he immediately heard everyone take a breath of air. He turned his eyes to the Gu, and it turned out to be one, two, four, and seven points. He was stunned for a while before he realized that this seven points were like a leopard, killing them!
Everyone originally regarded Lu Cheng as the God of Wealth, but this time he failed, he immediately regarded him as an ordinary gambler. Lu Cheng knew that he had aroused public anger this time. But this cannot be blamed. As a servant, he didn't want to show off. Xie Naxin would pretend to be drunk when he was at home. It was too easy for him to pretend to be missed. Next, Lu Cheng deliberately lost and won and finally won more than 100 copper coins for Xie Naxin.
"Cheng'er, thank you, this is a reward for you." Xie Naxin grabbed a handful of copper coins and stuffed them into Lu Cheng's arms. He should have lost all of them, but now he can win dozens of copper coins, which is really a surprise.
"Thank you, adopted father." Lu Cheng felt that a handful of copper coins was already a huge sum of money. Since it was given by his adoptive father, he naturally accepted it with a smile. He had long wanted to eat some meat. Although the meat of hares and pheasants can also be eaten, pork, lamb and beef tasted better. During festivals, mail can also eat meat, which tastes much better than the hare meat he stewed.
But the next day, Lu Cheng went to the meat stall to ask, and he couldn't even cut a pound of meat for his money. A pound of pork costs twenty cents, while he only had fifteen cents. With his and Lu Zhong's appetite, it would be possible to eat two or three meats at a meal. If Xie Naxin and Zhao Siyan were added, it would be normal to eat three or five pounds of meat at a meal.
