Countercurrent 1978 starts with the production team

In a small courtyard, there were seven or eight people sitting in the living room of the north room.

The room was filled with smoke and cigarette butts were scattered all over the floor.

There were people sitting around a square table in the middle, with Pai Gow and a lot of banknotes scattered on it.

Xiang Tian held a cigarette sideways in his mouth and was fighting with several of his men, with a high-spirited look on his face.

There was a lot of banknotes piled up in front of him, like a hill. It seemed that he was in good luck today.

This time it was Xiang Tian's turn to be the dealer. Seeing that other people had placed a lot of bets, Xiang Tian looked solemn. He took off the cigarette from his mouth, flicked the ashes, threw the sieve, and then divided the money in order according to the points in the sieve. Card.

He didn't need to look at the cards, just touched them lightly with his hand, and he knew the points clearly, and a proud smile spread on his face.

With a snap, he slapped the Pai Gow in his hand on the table. Two land cards were revealed on the table, and then Xiang Tian laughed loudly.

"Hahaha, two places! Kill together!"

The people sitting around the square table were a little downcast when they saw his cards.

Many people are saying it in their hearts, it’s totally unacceptable!

However, they were worried about Xiang Tian's face, so the people around him only dared to criticize a few words in their hearts, but did not dare to say it out loud.

"Brother Tian, ​​you are so lucky today."

"Brother Tian, ​​we basically lost all our money to you."

……

Everyone kept complimenting him, and Xiang Tian's face was full of smiles: "Hahaha, I can't help it, I'm lucky today, I'm killing everyone."

Xiang Tian waved his hand and began to greet everyone: "Come, come, come, place your bet, place your bet."

"How come, how come."

Everyone spoke one after another, because Xiang Tian usually had a deep prestige in their hearts, so they didn't dare to raise their opinions in person.

But Xiang Tian called on everyone to place bets, and they all touched their pockets. Only a few people placed a few small bets, and the others were embarrassed and refused to place bets.

It's not that they don't dare to bet, it's just that they have no choice but to lose all the money they brought to Xiang Tian. They are so strapped in their pockets that they can no longer take out the money, and they can't even bet if they want to.

If they could place a bet, they would still want to get their money back.

Xiang Tian won a lot of money today and was in high spirits. Seeing so many people and only placing such a small bet, his face started to look ugly.

"What? You guys, just bet such a small amount of money? It's just a joke."

"It's not that we don't want to do it, Brother Tian, ​​it's just that you were so lucky today, you killed us to pieces."

One of them saw that Xiang Tian was going to get angry. Everyone knew his temper. When he got angry, he might say something unpleasant, so they hurriedly explained.

Seeing the suspicion on Xiang Tian's face, he even dug out his clean pockets to show his innocence.

Xiang Tian looked carefully for a while and saw that everyone really had no money, so he gave up.

"Haha, since you all have no money, let's stay here today. When you get the money tomorrow, we will come back."

When everyone heard that Xiang Tian would play with them tomorrow, they all complained in their hearts. They earned much less than Xiang Tian.

Although they all like to play two games, you have to say that this is crazy, but Xiang Tian wins more and loses less when playing cards with them. Many people will lose to Xiang Tian, ​​who earns from them. he.

There is no way, in order to make money, many people work harder for Xiang Tian, ​​and then play with Xiang Tian with the money they earn, hoping to get back their money.

But unfortunately, luck is not good, and Xiang Tian is really lucky. Since he got on the card table, he has been very lucky, and the money in the hands of many people has been in his hands.

Many people suspected that Xiang Tian was playing tricks on this card and used some unknown means, but after observing for a while, they found no clues, and they did not dare to fall out with Xiang Tian. Those who did not want to play could not stand up to Xiang Tian who was always there. I persuaded and slowly fell into it.

After Xiang Tian knew that they had no money, his interest gradually waned, and he became a bit of an eyesore to other people.

"Okay, since we have no money, let's go back to each house and find each mother. Let's continue tomorrow."

As soon as Xiang Tian drove people away, people slowly began to leave their seats and go home. After a while, many people dispersed.

When Xiang Tian saw how many people were left in the room, they were all the losers. He took out cigarettes and spread them around. He also took a cigarette and lit it, and asked: "I said, brothers, why don't you go home and wait?"

One of the young men, wearing blue overalls, took the cigarette from Xiang Tian and laughed with him: "Brother Tian, ​​we all lost everything. We can't even afford bean sprouts when we go home." , we are about to get hungry. Can you please pay us the wages in advance? Don’t worry, we know that this money is paid. Just deduct this part when you pay us the wages. You can’t let us go hungry. Just work on your stomach.”

"Yes, Brother Tian, ​​we don't have a penny left."

"Brother Tian, ​​if we really couldn't survive, we wouldn't open our mouths to you."

"Brother Tian, ​​you are so generous, you can't just watch us starve."

……

As soon as the young man in blue overalls finished speaking, it was like a valve was opened, and several other people also spoke, complimenting Xiang Tian while telling their own difficulties.

Only then did Xiang Tian know what they were planning. After they finished speaking, he took a long drag on his cigarette. A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, but he hid it well and was not noticed by anyone.

"Since my brothers are in trouble and they all opened up to me, it would be too unkind if I didn't help." After Xiang Tian finished speaking, he looked at the reactions of the people in front of him and saw them. With a smile on his face, he changed the subject and said, "It's just..."

When the young man in blue overalls saw Xiang Tian's promise, he didn't doubt him and asked quickly: "Brother Tian, ​​what's the matter?"

Xiang Tian raised his eyes and glanced at them, and then said: "However, there are no fathers and sons in this gambling field. Since we are on the gambling table, we only talk about winning or losing, not feelings. Don't blame me for winning your money." I know you are all willing to accept defeat."

The young man in blue work clothes hurriedly said: "That's right, Brother Tian, ​​you are very lucky. We have no other thoughts except envy."

Several other people also nodded and agreed with the young man in blue overalls.

"Brother Tian is very lucky, we are really envious of him."

"If we have Brother Tian's luck, we can't stop God from killing God, but Buddha can kill Buddha if we stop him."

……

Xiang Tian enjoyed the flattery again, and then he pretended to say to the person next to him: "Dajun, this is what we are talking about. Let's get some money for my brothers."

Seeing that Xiang Tian finally relented, the young man in blue overalls and others showered him with free compliments.

"What Brother Tian didn't say is that he is loyal."

"Brother Tian, ​​who is he? He still cares about such a small amount of money."

……

When the young man in blue overalls took the money and was about to leave, he was stopped by Dajun with a cold face: "After you take the money, you have to sign a document. It's not that you can't trust me. This is the rule."

The young man in blue overalls looked at Xiang Tian, ​​but Xiang Tian was smoking alone and said nothing.

Although several people were unhappy, they still signed a written document.

When the young man in blue overalls was writing the document, his heart moved and he said to Xiang Tian: "Brother Tian, ​​you are so lucky, why don't you go outside to play? I know that there is a new gambling game recently, in a private house in the north of the city. There, it’s quite a big place to play, but most people can’t find it.”

Xiang Tian became interested and asked, "Oh? Who started the bet? How did you know about it?"
