The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China - Chapter 1018

  September, school starts.

   Mei Zuyan helped Zhou Weilie to move daily necessities to the school. He stood in the open space in front of the dormitory and said, “Little brother, choose one.”

   “Just this one.” Zhou Weilie pointed at him.

   The two of them went in with a large bag and a small bag. There were already many classmates living in it, and there were even scoundrels who came to listen to the school.

  Chat~www.mtlnovel.com~ Playing cards, sleeping…all on the bed, because there are no desks and chairs in the dormitory, and there is not much space for standing.

   On the Chase bunk of 40 people, a group is playing “sand crab”, which is what we call “stud”. There were only six people playing, but there were more onlookers, shouting and booing from time to time.

   “Haha, with a pair of old kings in front of me, I bet eight million (eight sit-ups), and I asked who would dare to call!”

   A poker student threw out eight chips, looked back at Zhou Weilie and Mei Zuyan, and said with a smile, “Yo, it looks like there are two more freshmen, which department are you from?”

   Mei Zuyan didn’t like gambling, so he frowned and kept silent.

   Zhou Weilie replied, “Department of Mathematics.”

“My name is Peng Xu. I’m a sophomore in the Chinese Department. Let’s play a few games together,” the student laughed. “Don’t bet money, bet on sit-ups. After you lose 20 chips, it will be settled. If you lose too much, you can choose Don’t do it, just help the winner do the laundry.”

   Zhou Weilie didn’t directly refuse, but said, “I’ll make the bed first.”

   Mei Zuyan was very unhappy and scolded: “The country is in danger, you don’t want to contribute to the country, but you play cards here, do you still have any conscience?”

   The students who played cards were not angry. One of them smiled and said, “This classmate, we are exercising in advance. Maybe one day we will join the army and serve the country.”

   “I’m too lazy to talk nonsense with you.” Mei Zuyan said with an ugly face.

   Zhou Weilie chose an empty bed at random, and quickly made the bed with the help of Mei Zuyan.

   Mei Zuyan warned: “Little brother, I’ll leave first if I have something to do. Don’t gamble with these people.”

   “Well, I’ll send it to you.” Zhou Weilie said.

   Zhou Weilie sent Mei Zuyan out of the dormitory, and when he came back, he took out his books to prepare for self-study. As a result, the noise of those playing cards was too loud, which made him feel very irritable.

   If it was replaced by Mei Zuyan, he would definitely come forward and scolded him severely, and he might even threaten to sue the teacher.

  But Zhou Weilie didn’t do this. He silently went over to watch and became familiar with the way of playing poker. The more he looked at it, the more bored he became, because this playing card was already very worn, and there were slight damage marks in many places. After a few rounds, he had memorized the back features of more than ten cards.

   “What, want to play?” asked the classmate named Peng Xu.

   Zhou Weilie was eager to try: “Okay.”

  Playing sand crabs was very popular during the Republic of China. Song Ziwen, Zhang Xueliang, Hu Shi, Fu Sinian and others were all masters, especially the game of Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Zongchang was the most thrilling.

   At that time, Zhang Xueliang had a pair of queens and a 9, and Zhang Zongchang’s clear card was a pair of 9s. Zhang Xueliang had a great chance of winning, but he didn’t expect that Zhang Zongchang had a chance to win, his arrogance was arrogant, and the young marshal was unknown, and at the same time he had a plan.

Zhang Xueliang suddenly stood up and patted the table stud, and said, “I’ll play this last game today. If I want to bet, I’ll bet on my heart. If I win this game, all your troops will be under the command of my old Zhang family. !”

Zhang Zongchang actually took three nines, but he was not sure whether Zhang Xueliang had three Qs. At this time, he was already gambling, and he gritted his teeth: “The old Zhang family wants my troops, yes, as long as you can win! But if I won this one, and your old Zhang family has to make up half a year’s salary for me according to the roster.”

The    hole card was shown, and the handsome young man vomited blood, so he had to pay Zhang Zongchang an army salary according to the gambling contract.

   Zhang Zuolin expressed his regret for this: “Little Six is ​​still tender, but he has good intentions. If this card releases Zhang Xiaokun (Zhang Zongchang)’s military power, it will save me a lot of trouble.”

   The situation in northern China at that time was probably a matter of cards.

   Zhou Weilie sat down and gave up several hands in a row. He didn’t start to call until the sixth game, and pushed out all the chips made of wrapping paper, saying, “I owe 5 more, I’ll bet 20, who would dare to call?”

   The highest single bet is 20, and several other people folded, only one said to the student of A: “I don’t believe in evil yet, let’s open the card!”

   “Three 6s, sorry.” Zhou Weilie said with a smile.

  The student said speechlessly, “Aren’t you afraid that I’m three A’s?”

   “Unfortunately you are not.” Zhou Weilie said.

   is willing to accept the bet, the loser has no chips, and immediately lie on the bed and do sit-ups, while the others gather 20 chips and return them to him.

   When it was almost noon, everyone except Zhou Weilie was exhausted. Due to poor school meals, all of them were too weak. After doing hundreds of sit-ups, they couldn’t even straighten their waists.

   has no choice but to redeem.

  The loser promises to wash the winner’s clothes, 20 chips at a time, and no more than five pieces of clothes at a time. Well, Wei Lie doesn’t have to wash his clothes this month, and all kind classmates will do it for you.

   “I don’t play anymore, I don’t play anymore, it’s so boring!” Peng Xu threw the cards away angrily.

   “I don’t play anymore.” Another classmate named Zhu Zhigao said.

Seeing that the poker game was about to break up, Zhou Weilie smiled and said, “Peng Xu owes me six times to do laundry, Zhu Zhigao owes me three times, Zhang Guangliang owes me two times, Zhang Yu owes me once, and Luo Mianzhang owes me four times. , Classmate Deng Guocheng owes me…”

  Peng Xu’s eyes widened: “Do you remember it in your heart?”

   Zhou Weilie said: “Of course remember, don’t you still want to cheat?”

   “How come? I’m just amazed that you have a good memory,” Peng Xu smiled awkwardly, “By the way, what’s your name?”

   “Zhou Weilie.” Zhou Weilie said.

   Everyone looked at each other, and finally someone said, “Is that Zhou Weilie who was admitted to the United Nations University at the age of 12 and asked five professors to bow and apologize on the spot?”

“it’s me.”

   “Your Honor is Mr. Zhou Hexuan?”

“Yes.”

   “The card skills were also taught by Mr. Zhou?”

   “No, it was my first time playing sand crab today.”

   “Then why do you always win?”

   “Because I wrote down all the cards. This poker is very old, and there are many marks on the back. You can recognize it at a glance. I know your hole cards.”

   “Why can’t I recognize it?”

   “Maybe you didn’t observe it carefully. Although those traces are very subtle, you just need to remember them carefully.”

   “Nonsense, if you can remember that I already remembered it, they all look the same!”

  “…”

   Zhou Weilie’s title of “Gambling King” spread like wildfire, and no one played poker in this dormitory anymore, because he would join the game whenever there was a poker game. Of course, there are also those who don’t believe in evil. The classmates from other dormitories come here especially, and finally promise to help Zhou Weilie do the laundry.
