Nine Chapters of Mystery(1/2)
"Are you done counting?" Qu Shan was obviously impatient to wait.
"Okay, okay! Thirty thousand taels is enough!" Chun Niang smiled and handed the thirty thousand taels of silver notes to Huang Jinglin.
But Huang Jinglin did not dare to accept the banknote. He only whispered in Chun Niang's ear: "You have to think carefully. This person's gambling skills are extremely high. He has no opponent in several states in the north. Chun Niang, as long as you lose
If you hit him, your golden brand will be smashed!"
Chun Niang slapped the silver note on Huang Jinglin's chest angrily: "Did your Lotte Village ever lose a penny in my hand?"
"Uh...this..." Huang Jinglin shook his head in embarrassment.
Chun Niang snorted lightly, stretched out her hand to push Huang Jinglin away, and smiled at Qu Shan again: "What do you want to bet on, is it Pai Gow?"
Qu Shan looked at her face full of flour, couldn't help but chuckle, and said with disdain: "Pai Gow only has thirty-two cards, it's too simple."
"Oh?" Chun Niang played with the pair of Supreme Treasures she just took out, and raised the corner of her mouth, "I wonder what I want to bet on?"
"How about leaf cards? One hundred and fourteen cards, this is a little bit interesting."
"Snapped!"
Chun Niang slapped the pair of Supreme Treasures into the pile of dominoes. When she moved her hand away, she was shocked to see that the dominoes of the pair of Supreme Treasures had been replaced by Shuangtian's ideas in full view of the public!
There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd.
Chun Niang smiled and said: "Just follow the uncle's instructions, just leaf cards."
Qu Shan glanced at the pair of dominoes in the sky, sneered, stretched out his right palm and slowly pressed it on the pair of dominoes.
"Then, thank you Chun Niang for helping me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Shan removed his hand from the pair of dominoes.
The crowd exclaimed again.
That pair of dominoes actually turned into the idea of the Supreme Treasure again!!
"Oh, I have two hands." Chun Niang looked at the other party with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"Where, where. It's a small trick, not worth mentioning." Qu Shan replied hypocritically, his eyes returning with a cold light.
The eyes of the onlookers were dancing back and forth on their faces.
This group of gamblers all looked excited.
Being able to witness the showdown between the two gambling masters from the north and the south is tantamount to a pilgrimage for them.
One can imagine how excited these gamblers are.
"Hey, let's leave it to fate." Huang Jinglin sighed heavily and waved to the two boys beside him, "Bring me the leaf cards!"
The two boys trembled, suddenly came to their senses, and responded in succession. Then one of them quickly put away the dominoes on the table, and the other ran over with a wooden box.
"Crash..."
One hundred and fourteen leaf cards were messily dumped on the gaming table.
Before Chun Niang could speak, the boy quickly placed the leaf cards face up and neatly arranged them, and said to the two of them, "Please check the cards."
But these two people did not answer.
Their brows were slightly furrowed, their eyes were moving back and forth rapidly, and their eyes were quickly scanning back and forth on the cards.
The place was silent, no one dared to disturb them, even breathing was done as gently as possible.
"Remember clearly?" Chun Niang spoke first.
"I've been waiting for you." Qu Shan replied coldly.
Chun Niang sneered and asked: "What kind of gambling method?"
Qu Shan pointed at the table and said expressionlessly: "It's better to win two out of three games."
"Okay." Chun Niang nodded.
Qu Shan then said: "You and I will shuffle the cards at the same time, and touch the cards at the same time."
Chun Niang raised her eyebrows: "Compare the sum of the points?"
Qu Shan shook his head: "No, that's too easy. Let's draw the tie cards. In the first game, we each draw fourteen cards. The one who draws seven pairs wins."
The corner of Chun Niang's lips raised: "How about making it more difficult? Only the one who can figure out all seven pairs will be considered the winner?"
"Hahaha." Qu Shan laughed a few times on his back and shook his head, "Then I will add another icing on the cake and make it more difficult. In this first game, you have to touch the seven fairies card in the tube to be considered a winner. How about
?”
"good!!"
Chun Niang waved, and two servants ran forward and quickly turned over the one hundred and fourteen cards on the table, showing their backs.
"please!"
As soon as Chun Niang finished shouting, four hands began to shuffle the cards almost at the same time, rubbing them back and forth, and there was a loud crash on the table.
The eyes of the two of them seemed to be cramped, and their eyes quickly jumped around the card table.
Su Wangting, who was watching from the sidelines, was speechless when he saw this.
It is extremely difficult to memorize the positions of one hundred and fourteen cards in such a short period of time.
Not to mention, you have to turn the card over and face the bare, identical back.
Not to mention, you have to track the whereabouts of each card with your eyes during the shuffling process...
Not to mention, you have to accurately pick out the cards of the Seven Fairies in the process...
This is simply impossible!!
Su Wangting sighed secretly, even if he gave himself twenty years of hard work, he might not be able to develop this skill.
It seems that this gambling skill also requires talent.
"Crash..."
The sound of shuffling cards on the gambling table became more and more intensive, and the two people's movements of rubbing the cards became faster and faster. Beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads almost at the same time.
The eyes of the spectators were about to burst out, and the sounds of swallowing could be heard one after another.
Suddenly, the sound of shuffling stopped.
They both stopped at the same time.
In front of them, fourteen cards have been picked out and arranged neatly in a row.
Chun Niang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You are the guest, you open the cards first."
"Then, it's embarrassing."
Qu Shan showed a confident smile and slowly turned over the cards in front of him.
"boom!"
The crowd was excited.
Looking at the cards, we can see seven pairs of cards from one to nine arranged in a row.
And they are all tubes!
All seven fairies!!
"Good means." Even Huang Jinglin couldn't help but clapped his hands.
But he quickly remembered his identity, put down his hands in a panic, and looked at Chun Niang with worry on his face.
And the same worried faces were those of the people watching.
After all, most of the people who often come to Lotte Village are people from within a hundred miles, and even further away, they are just from neighboring states.
So when facing Qu Shan, who came all the way from the north, everyone naturally felt for Chun Niang.
It seems that at this time, Chun Niang has transformed into a representative who defends the honor of the gamblers in her hometown. At this time, they may have completely forgotten about the total loss in front of Chun Niang.
"It's over." Huang Si murmured in a low voice, "It seems that Chun Niang has really met a strong opponent today. Hey, if we lose, Lotte Village's brand will be smashed by this guy!"
Su Wangting said with a bad smile on his face: "What are you afraid of? No matter how talented he is, he is still an outsider, and it is difficult to defeat the local snake, right? If he wins, he will be killed and buried casually. Who will know about this?"
Huang Si glanced at him and said, "If Chun Niang really loses, I'm afraid the boss can really do this."
"Oh?" Su Wangting's face tightened upon hearing this, "Your boss really dares to do this? May I ask who your boss is?"
Huang Si looked panicked when he heard this. He knew he had made a mistake. He hurriedly smiled and waved his hands and said: "No... I didn't mention it. I just said it casually. Let's see what card Chun Niang played that is the most important..."
As he spoke, Huang Si stood on tiptoes, stretched his neck, and looked across the crowd at the gaming table.
Judging from his flustered expression, which kept peeking at Su Wangting from the corner of his eyes, one could tell that he was deliberately pretending to be attracted by the gambling game in order to get rid of Su Wangting's questioning.
"You guy..." Su Wangting shrugged, not paying attention, and continued to watch the situation on the gambling table.
At this time, Qu Shan made a "please" gesture to Chun Niang and said in a deep voice: "It's your turn."
Chun Niang said oh, raised her hand, and turned over the cards one by one.
Everyone stretched their necks.
