Jing Book

"How about it?"

"I've found out, that kid only came to the fore last month. At the beginning, he won and lost. Later, he basically won money every day. Yesterday, his family won three companies, and he won this amount when he left at night."

The man who spoke made a number with his hands and said, "I've been observing this kid for several days, and he really hasn't cheated."

"From what you mean, have we met the God of Gamblers?"

"That's not the case, but I doubt he can count the cards, and his luck is also good, but here, it's not good if he doesn't bleed a little, that kid has a red eye now, and uses us as a cash machine."

"Young man, you owe me a lesson."

Lu Tao was a little restless. For some reason, his luck was not going well today. He couldn't get the cards he needed. Finally, there was a sign of a draw.

"I'm going to smoke a cigarette slowly, who will take my seat?"

Usually, as soon as these words were uttered, there would have been onlookers waiting for a long time to fill up the seats, but today those familiar faces looked at me and looked at you, and there was no response.

"If you want to smoke, smoke here. I just want to smoke one too."

The man sitting next to him looked at the people watching the game and said with a smile, "Besides, they are all smokers. Who cares about that?"

"Yes."

"Don't mind, don't mind."

Lu Tao said that wanting to smoke was just a tactic to delay the attack. He beat around the bush and transferred the seat to someone else. When the person got excited about playing cards, he would not pay it back even if he wanted it. He used this trick to get away before and tried it repeatedly, but today...

"That's fine," Lu Tao gritted his teeth secretly, and smiled, "I'll just smoke here, let's continue."

This underground casino is full of fish and dragons, and Lu Tao has only recently figured out some of the routines. For example, the three men who played cards with him today, he has never seen before, but they should be regular customers. Since they are regular customers, there is no need to be afraid. Although this casino is small and shabby, I heard that the boss behind it is not young and has some influence in the local area. He has neither cheated nor accomplices. I don't believe that I will always carry it like this.

Seeing that Lu Tao had no intention of retreating, the other three touched their eyes indiscriminately, and then changed their rhythm when playing cards.

After that, Lu Tao's luck seemed to return, and he gradually won back the money he lost earlier. After taking off his guard, Lu Tao devoted himself more to the game. He originally planned to leave around 11 o'clock as usual and not stay up all night, but that At that time, he had just won four games in a row, and he was so lucky that he was reluctant to leave. This procrastination dragged on until the middle of the night, and it was dawn when he regained consciousness from the game again, and he lost all the money he originally won. , and owed more than 30 yuan to the casino.

After the game was over, the person in charge on the side led Lu Tao into the innermost room and said, "Xiao Lu, you should settle the accounts first, the number is a bit too big now, brother can't make the decision."

Lu Tao was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "Brother, to tell you the truth, I don't have that much money now."

"Can't you? You have won a lot during this time, so this money shouldn't be a big deal to you?"

Lu Tao just calculated in his mind that the money he won before and after is indeed enough to pay off the debt, but the premise is that he didn't use the money. Now he has given more than half of the money to his family, and he can't take it at all right now. 30.

"Xiao Lu, you are trustworthy... How about this, you write an IOU first, how about a week? You come back to settle the account after a week. As for your ID card, you have to put it here, and you can't pay it back for now. You are here, okay?"

"Okay, can I still enter?"

"Yes, yes, but we won't lend you any more money here. This is also the rule."

"Yes, I know."

Lu Tao actually still has tens of thousands of dollars in his card, which is not enough to repay the debt, but it is definitely enough for playing cards. Now he does not feel that there is anything wrong with losing money. He has won for so long, but he can afford to lose once in a while, and he is not panicked. , he knows that he can't fight recklessly when he is unlucky, so he plans to recharge his energy first, and when he regains his energy, it will not be too late to kill him again.

It's just that the goddess of luck seems to no longer favor Lu Tao. In the next few days, he lost more than he won, and he never regained the feeling of killing three families. There is not much money left in the card, and the one-week deadline will come. Due to the consequences, Lu Tao finally panicked, he only dared to ask Zhang Jingshu for help after deliberation.

"Don't look at those people who are being polite to me now. It's because the time has not yet come. If I can't pay the debt the day after tomorrow, they will definitely turn their faces and deny me... Lao Zhang, what should I do? Once the school finds out about this , will you directly expel my student status?"

"Don't panic."

After listening to Lu Tao's narration, Zhang Jingshu recalled the old adage that out of ten bets, nine losers, and asked, "Who are you playing cards with these days?"

It stands to reason that with Lu Tao's shorthand and card counting abilities, even if he meets a veteran, he shouldn't lose so badly.

"They are all familiar faces who often go there. Occasionally there are a few strangers. It is also because I have been there for a short time and I don't know them."

Zhang Jingshu thought about it, and felt that it was too late to find out the reason. The most urgent thing was to pay off the debt owed to that black casino. Fortunately, it was not a usury, otherwise Lu Tao would not have a headache now.

"I still have classes, so I can't turn them down. You should sleep to refresh yourself first." Zhang Jingshu made the final decision: "I will go with you after I finish the class."

At about ten o'clock that night, Zhang Jingshu took his own card and withdrew [-] yuan from the ATM, and then followed Lu Tao to this small casino hidden in the basement of the village in the city. Zhang Jingshu exchanged the cash he brought for chips and gave Lu Tao half of it. , and then the two wandered around the field. First, Lu Tao took someone's place at the poker table, while Zhang Jingshu watched him play a few rounds.

It may be that there is a companion by his side who does not panic. Lu Tao played steadily and won over 11 in just one hour. At around [-] o'clock, the man sitting opposite Lu Tao answered the phone and left in a hurry. His seat was empty. Zhang Jingshu picked it up.

From the moment Zhang Jingshu sat down, he had only one goal—to win.

On the way here, he has already discussed with Lu Tao the strategy for tonight, which is to make a quick decision, no matter big or small, as long as you can win money, don't let it go, once you win enough, you will directly ask the person in charge of the casino to settle the account , Lu Tao also repeatedly said that as long as the debt can be paid off, he will never step into the casino again.

According to the previous study, Zhang Jingshu and Lu Tao analyzed the chances of winning the cards after drawing the cards. If the chances were low and they couldn’t find the cards they needed, they would change their playing style and try to feed each other cards. Give priority to ensuring that one person can win the card.

At two o'clock in the morning, Zhang Jingshu and Lu Tao's chips could barely get in or out, but the other two had lost completely, because Zhang Jingshu and Lu Tao played cards in a well-regulated manner, and there was no communication during the whole process, and they didn't even meet their eyes. The two men who lost money didn't suspect that they were cheating, but felt that their luck was against the sky, and they were not opponents. Besides, this is Wei Ge's place, how dare they cheat?Don't die!

The onlookers saw the luck of Zhang Jingshu and Lu Tao, and no one dared to come up to fill their seats after the two left the table.

"Brother, you played well."

A dark and thin middle-aged man came up to talk and offered Lu Tao a cigarette, but he looked at Zhang Jingshu and invited with a smile: "Both brothers, didn't you have a good time in the hall? Are you interested in playing in it?" a handful?"

The "inside" the man said refers to the innermost single rooms with good sound insulation, which can be regarded as the VIP room of this casino. Lu Tao only heard a few words from regular customers here before playing cards, saying that he would play in the lobby. The winning and losing figures of 10,000+ in one night are already sky-high, but in a private room, hundreds of thousands or millions in one night can be achieved without blinking an eye.

"Forget it, brother," Lu Tao took the cigarette from the man, and said in a low voice, "It's too much fun inside, I don't have the confidence to go in."

He and Zhang Jingshu have now won more than [-] combined. As long as they maintain this level for the rest of the night, they will be able to pay back the debt at dawn. With hope, Lu Tao, who is already afraid, is naturally unwilling to take risks.

"That's fine, don't force it." The man sat for a while, and left when he saw someone coming up to fill his seat.

The two newcomers, Lu Tao, have some impressions. They played cards with him a few days ago. They are both veterans. They are very good players. He has missed many times because he is not sure about their cards. Give the other side a shot.

As soon as the two came up, Lu Tao's worries were confirmed. The situation was no longer one-sided, but the four were evenly divided.

After one lap, Zhang Jingshu seemed to have a feeling. When it was his turn to sit on the bank again, he first looked at the cards carefully, but the next move was to push all the cards inwards and put them on the table.

The other two men who were still playing cards in their hands paused at the same time, but the onlookers already exclaimed.

"He wants to blind type?"

"Can't you? So awesome?"

"Shh! Watch first, then talk..."

In fact, not only outsiders, Lu Tao was also shocked by Zhang Jingshu's actions, but he didn't show it.He has always known that Zhang Jingshu's cards are fast, but he is not sure how fast it is. Just now, Zhang Jingshu just looked at the cards he caught and buckled them, not even matching cards.

Afterwards, Zhang Jingshu didn't turn over the original cards to see whether he touched or touched the cards, but every time he won, he would show his own cards to several people to check whether there was a fraudulent draw.

Since Zhang Jingshu played blindly, more and more people came to watch at their table. Many people even put down their poker games and came to watch the excitement. People finally couldn't sit still.

"No, no, no, I'm so unlucky, I'm going to wash my hands and get active."

"I'll wash it off too. My hands are too smelly. I can't touch the useful ones, but I can touch the useless ones."

The two men left temporarily, Zhang Jingshu didn't wait for the stunned crowd to speak, and motioned for Lu Tao to get up with the chips.

Seeing Lu Tao and Zhang Jingshu walking straight towards him, the manager of the casino knew what was going on, and led them directly to a separate hut.

"Brother, these are 25 yuan, so I won't exchange them for cash." Zhang Jingshu pointed to Lu Tao, and said, "Let him take back the 34 IOU and write you another [-] IOU. It should be no problem." Bar?"

"No problem, no problem."

The steward nodded again and again, turned around to find a pen and ink pad, and looked at Lu Tao's rewritten IOU, feeling bitter in his heart.

He remembered how many times this tall young man came to play last month, but who would have thought that this kid had been hiding his clumsiness before?Seeing the posture he just played blindly, even the well-informed him was shocked, let alone the group of ground turtles in the hall outside.
