The years when I was an old man

I walked carefully to a dice table.

I didn't look at it carefully just now, but when I look at it again now, I am even more dumbfounded.

It was a good dice table, and on it was a gray rough porcelain bowl.

There is also a lid on the porcelain bowl.

Such crude props usually only exist in casinos in the countryside, and are rarely seen in the city.

It can also be seen from this that Wulong doesn't care about this matter.

On the table, there is also a small iron basin with half a basin of dice in it.

I played with the dice casually, and just put the dice back into the basin.

I heard someone next to me ask me:

"Playing dice?"

Turning around, I saw a man with a cigarette in his mouth and a row of fireworks on his arm walking over, holding a bottle of beer in his hand.

Walking to the croupier's position, he gulped down half a bottle in one gulp.

He put down the wine bottle and hiccupped.

Then, wiping the drool around his mouth with his arm, he said:

"Guess the size, or bigger than it?"

Guessing the size means he shakes me, and comparing the size means we both shake.

I didn't say what to play, but asked him:

"How much is the minimum?"

The fireworks man looked up at Erlong, and Erlong said directly:

"The minimum is five thousand, and there is no limit!"

"So big?"

I pretended to be surprised and asked.

"Is this still big? If you weren't Huahua's friend, you would be playing bigger than this!"

Erlong glanced at me with a half-smile.

It seems that this matter really cannot go on.

If you catch a guest, you will go to hell.

I took out 2 yuan from my pocket, and before placing a bet, Erlong asked dissatisfiedly:

"That's all the cash you brought?"

"Ok!"

I silly nodded.

Erlong frowned, looked at Sister Hua and said:

"Okay, you can play first. If it's not enough, I'll lend it to you!"

"Row!"

This time, I answered very simply.

"How to play?"

The firework man took a sip of his beer and asked me another question.

"Then compare the size?"

"Okay, let's bet! Three times for leopards, two times for straights, and one for big and small! I'll come first!"

As he said that, the man in fireworks pretended to grab the dice in the basin.

But I clearly saw that his left hand was slightly tilted.

The three dice slipped directly from the sleeve into his hand.

It looked like three dice were taken out of the basin.

I bet 5000 yuan, and the fireworks man is not polite.

Picking up the dice, he breathed into his mouth and muttered something:

"Sky Lingling, Earth Lingling, can you give me a leopard!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the three dice into the bowl and shouted:

"Go away!"

Three dice made a crisp crashing sound in the porcelain bowl.

After rolling back and forth several times, the three dice turned out to be four, five, six straight.

"Good luck, open the door and come straight!"

The fireworks man looked smug, picked up the beer and took another swig.

I took the dice and weighed it lightly in my hand.

From the outside, it looks like ordinary dice.

But the weight is slightly lighter than ordinary dice, obviously, this is mercury dice.

This kind of dice often appears in bad places on the street.

However, it takes a certain amount of effort to practice this kind of dice.

I picked up the dice and threw it into the bowl.

Just when the three dice bounced a few times inside, I was like a mallet.

Staring at the porcelain bowl, he shouted:

"Leopard, leopard, leopard!"

But the three dice swung a few times, and finally there were two ones and one two.Minimum of three points.

According to what we said before, the straight is double.

This time, I lost ten thousand.

"Again! Bet!"

The fireworks man urged me with a proud face.

The second dragon next to him is also full of confidence.

He watched the excitement, and his hands were not idle.

From time to time, he tugged on the collar around Sister Hua's neck.

I put on a dissatisfied look, and put 1 yuan directly on it.

"This knocks me down! But I'll shake it first!"

"can!"

The fireworks man said confidently.

I took the dice and shook it a few times in my hand.

Following the appearance of the firework man, he still blew in his hand.

Then, the three dice were thrown into the bowl and shouted:

"leopard!"

The three dice spun a few times.

This time, the points were not bad, two five points and one six points.

It was Firework Man's turn, he took the dice and threw it casually.

The dice slowly stopped after spinning a few times in the bowl.

When everyone saw the points in the bowl, they couldn't help shouting excitedly.

Because the dice in the bowl are three 2s, leopards.

According to the rules, I lose three times, which is [-].

Pointing to the 1 yuan in front of me, the fireworks man said directly:

"You are not enough, make up another [-]!"

I pretended to be helpless and looked at Sister Hua. Sister Hua spread her hands and said:

"Look, I'm useless, I don't have any money!"

I could only turn my head to look at Erlong, and said submissively:

"Second brother, look, I'll bring the money today. How about I stop playing and send you the money tomorrow!"

Erlong's fingers were still on Sister Hua's neck, rubbing back and forth.

"It's okay if you don't bring any money, the second brother has it. Oh, yes. Does your family run restaurants? How many restaurants have you opened?"

"Three in Harbei, two in Shuanghe City, five in total!"

"Oh!"

Erlong nodded pretendingly.

"Is business good?"

“Always good!”

Erlong is testing my family background.

"Tell me, how much do you want to borrow?"

"fifty thousand?"

I said something tentatively.

"Brother, the situation is small. You have lost 20 now. When will you win [-] back? The second brother is open-minded, and I won't give you more, just take [-]. Play as you like!"

As he spoke, he shook his head.

After a while, a younger brother came out with a bag.

Inside the bag were bundles of hundred-dollar bills.
