A Card Shark’s World - C4

When I got back to the dormitory, Fatty Du was already lying on the bed. When he saw me come back, he jumped out of the bed like a fat pig and looked at me, “Are you alright?”

I rolled my eyes at him. “What can I do for you? “Kid, you ran pretty fast?”

Embarrassed, he clutched his stomach and sat on the bed. “I don’t know what I ate in the day, but my stomach hurt like hell …”

“So it’s like that. I even said I was going to play with her. Since your stomach hurts, I won’t force you.” “Then I’ll enjoy it myself.” I pretended to go out.

Just as I walked out of the dorm, Du Little Fatty followed me out and kept asking me what was going on. I couldn’t be bothered to hide it from him anymore, so I said, “Don’t you think about who I am and make them look like they’re playing around. “Looking at your cowardly face, you actually ran away when you had something going on, I was also blind to have an ungrateful brother like you.”

His face turned red from being scolded by me, and he was at a loss for words. I saw that it was almost time to hug him, “You bastard, if you continue to do this sort of thing next time, don’t blame me for not acknowledging you as my brother!”

He asked me how much money I won, and when I told him that I won more than 500 dollars, his eyes opened wide and his mouth grew wider than anything else. Afterwards, he praised me in all sorts of ways, saying how amazing I was.

I was also praised by him to the point that I didn’t know who I was. He and I started to run all day to the Internet Cafe. If I ran out of money, I would go and play cards with Chen San’er and the rest of them, and they would all become my ATM. This went on for more than two months, and then no one played cards with me anymore.

I don’t know which grandson said that I cheated. Chen San’er came to find me twice, but I told her with one bite that I didn’t pay a thousand. I won’t admit it. They won’t be able to catch me, and they won’t be able to do anything about it.

However, my road to wealth was ruined, so Little Fatty Du and I went back to living in poverty. Everyday, he ate and drank until the holidays finally came.

After the holiday, I was like a wild horse with its reins untied, and I went out to play every day. My old man couldn’t control me by then, and I, in my rebellious phase, wouldn’t listen to him at all. Not to mention my mother. I often stay away from home for two or three days.

He did have a free holiday, but he had to spend money to go out and play. Little Fatty Du’s family is in good condition, we only use his money outside. However, they were all over a dozen yuan and were not enough for anything other than cigarettes.

That day, Little Fatty Du and I watched someone else play Legend in the internet cafe. The more we watched, the more itchy we became. However, we were really short on money. At this point, Little Fatty Du called me out of the Internet Cafe, and we squatted down to the side of the road to smoke.

“Liu Zi, what did you think of the matter that I told you about last time? “I think there’s no problem …” Little Fatty Du squinted at me and asked.

I thought about it and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to go, it’s that you know that place is notoriously chaotic. They were all people from the society gathered there. If they were caught red-handed, then it wouldn’t be as simple as just beating them up. “It’s not like you don’t know that you’re cutting off an old man’s hand just because he was caught in the streets!”

Little Fatty Du pursed his lips, “Then what do you think we should do? My old man hasn’t been giving me any money lately. “If we still don’t think of a way to get some money, we’ll really have to drink the northwest wind in a few days.”

Feeling troubled, I took a deep breath of the cigarette in my hand and threw the cigarette butt onto the ground. I stepped on it and said, “Alright, let’s go take a look first …”

“You agreed?” Little Fatty Du looked at me excitedly.

“Let’s go take a look first.”

This is a game room, I came here to play a few times in junior high school and rarely came here after high school. In high school, they spent most of their time in the Internet Cafe, so there was no time for them to play games.

Arriving at the game room, we crossed the hall to the backyard. The backyard was not much like a courtyard. It had several rooms. Every room was busy and noisy. There were two people standing in the yard smoking and farting. When they saw me and Little Fatty Du, they glanced at us and didn’t bother to pay any attention to us.

We went into one of the rooms, where a group of people were playing cards around a table.

“Open, open…” Dual Heavenly Sovereign! “Give me money, give me money!”

“Why is it the Twin Heavens again …”

After looking around for a while, we went around to the other room. After a round of all the rooms, I finally understood the general situation. There were five rooms in total, and two large rooms were filled with mahjong players. The other three were smaller. One of them was a card nine, while the other two were for exploding gold flowers or filling in large holes.

Little Fatty Du and I had been wandering around this place for a few days without making a move. He had fifty dollars in his hand, and he said that if I dared not go, he would not force me, and that fifty dollars would be used up in half for one person.

This 50 yuan is Little Fatty Du’s private money, if I didn’t promise to bet money he wouldn’t even take it out. If you don’t understand what’s going on, then go. What’s the difference between this and courting death? If you have the ability, then go.

He asked me, “What do you think we should do? Are we going or not? ”

I touched my chin and thought for a moment. I could go there. And I think as long as I’m careful, no one will notice if I make a little money.

After thinking about it for a while, I discussed with Little Fatty Du and bought the same poker card that was used in the gambling house. Then I got two candles and put a layer of wax on the sleeves of my clothes. This was the “Cloudwater Sleeve” that Elder Wang taught me.

This move was amazing. It looked like it was something to learn, but it was going to be difficult to truly use it. In other words, he hid the card in his sleeve and took it out when he needed it. Elder Wang said he could hide four cards in his sleeves. I didn’t see it, so I didn’t know if it was real or fake.

After everything was ready, Little Fatty Du and I went to the gambling house. We came to a table of fried gold flowers.

It was also known as “Gold Explosion Flower”, which won three games. At that time, this game was quite popular in all parts of the country. The reason was simple, simple and easy to handle. The game uses a deck of poker cards, 54 cards, excluding King and King, leaving 52 cards.

13 points, 4 of each kind.

I found a seat and sat down without attracting attention. There are a lot of young people playing cards here. They don’t care about me, they just care about how much money they can win.

Our table isn’t too big, it has a bottom of five pieces and a top of fifty. That’s why I chose this table.

After finishing, a middle-aged man around the age of thirty began to deal the cards. He washed his cards very quickly. One could tell from the way he did things that he was a veteran gambler.

After dealing my cards, my cards are not good, I directly discard the cards. After a few rounds of fighting, Little Fatty Du started to get anxious as he chased after me. I looked at him and told him to be patient. Soon I had only twenty dollars left. As soon as this card was handed out, I immediately got bored and threw the rest of my money in. I said that I was out of money and played the last card back home.

The rest of the people ignored me and looked at their respective cards. On the other hand, Little Fatty Du’s face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with regret.

Very soon, several players abandoned their cards. It seemed like none of them were good enough. Finally, there was a young man in a waistcoat who was a few years older than me. He looked at me and said, “Since no one wants it, it would be nice to steal the bottom. Let me see your cards.”

He took out forty dollars and tossed it over. He turned over the cards and found a pair of K8. Without hesitation, I picked up my card and flipped it open as well.

According to the rules of the Golden Flowers, a pair of Aces was bigger than a pair of Kings. I quickly grabbed the money from the table.

After I won, no one said anything. After all, I didn’t win much.

Then, after playing for half an hour, we came out of the game room. After counting the money, he almost won 700 yuan. Seeing the money, Little Fatty was so happy that he almost rushed up to hug me and gave me a kiss.

We first found a restaurant, each of us ordered a plate of dumplings stuffed with scallion. After eating our fill, each of us bought a pack of red plum smoke, then went to the internet cafe.

After opening up a room in the Internet Cafe, I sat down and couldn’t help but ask how I won the money.

“You want to know?” I watched him raise his eyebrows.

He kept nodding his head. I crooked my finger and he immediately moved his ear over.

“I won’t tell you!”
