Chapter 1: Legend of Fighting Cards

Rainy night, lightning and thunder!

The light in the room is dim, and the insects are buzzing around the chandeliers.

An Yi lit a cigarette and stuffed it into his mouth, took a deep breath, and a burning feeling suddenly rushed into the lungs, and then choked out of his mouth and nostrils with a cloudy and rapid purging trachea.

"-Cough!" It's indescribable.

The room is full of swirly smoke, and the curtains are closed, without a trace of air. Anyi's thick smoke is just adding a little more dye to the extremely harsh air.

Of course, this is just an underground gambling house, a basement tightly wrapped in thick cloth curtains, only relying on the lighting and the outside, 1% of the table fee, he can't expect how to make the environment outstanding.

The real time of the wall clock on the wall was twelve o'clock at midnight, and An Yi came in at twelve o'clock at noon, that is to say, except for a few trips to the toilet in the middle, he sat in this chair for twelve hours.

The buttocks and arms are a little numb, the head is a little congested, and the smoke in the mahjong hall is permeated all the time, making the whole space and people shrouded in a layer of darkness. He could guess that he must be pale, his hair messy, and his eyes full of blood.

He consciously touched the cards, "get rich" and threw it out.

The smoke was inhaled deeply in the mouth, and the hot smoke rushed into the lungs and then slowly exhaled out. It still felt very bad. Smoking is a very elegant thing in Anyi's eyes, that kind of relaxation, that kind of fairy-like feeling. Usually, it is just a mentality of playing and accompanying. The smoke usually just rotates in the mouth, and it is the first time to enter the throat and lungs like this. Therefore, even if you have smoked for four or five years, you can't even feel the quality of the smoke. All you know is that it is mellow and not, thick and light.

Fantasies began to appear in his head, just like a dream. It didn't help to use it to get out of worries. He knew that this was an illusion after smoking, and the pain would remain the same when he woke up. An Yi is a data analyst. This profession determines that it must be pragmatic. Unreal things rarely appear in his life. Although the reality of this dog day is both painful and helpless, it can give him real feelings, pain and happiness, but now he is addicted to fantasy, smoking one after another.

It is playing mahjong. When the essence handed down by the ancestors is combined with the money of the red fruit, it has become a panacea for thousands of people to relieve their excitement and fatigue.

This gambling house was selected after investigation. Although the pattern is not large, the rules are very strict. In the process of playing cards, only words such as "eating cards", "touching cards", "bars", "and cards" and "supplementing flowers" can only be used. All eating, touching,gangs, and all must be standardized to sign cards. When playing cards, they are not listed, and there is supervised by professional card officials. I heard that the backstage is also very strong, and there has never been a rumor that the banker is unruly, which is rare in underground casinos. It is precisely because of such rules that the people who play cards are all big and small capitalists, so the cards are also very large.

One shot and three sounds, blooming on the bar, fishing for the moon under the sea, eating beard with bars...

Maybe the character has really come to an end and brought in 1.5 million, but now there are less than 100,000 left. Although there are only 100,000 left, as long as he seizes an opportunity, he can turn over and reverse the universe.

Don't tell him about the dangers of gambling. As long as Chinese citizens who have attended primary school clearly know the four words "don't gamble". From "gathering corners", "greedy", "turning over money", "repentance" to "crazy", the depraved psychology of a gambler is so simple, so there are still thousands of gamblers rotting on the gambling table every day.

What Anyi wants is to make a change, a change that can turn everything upside down, just like regeneration.

The company went bankrupt, and his girlfriend ran away with someone. She walked into the casino with the money to repay the creditor and the employee's salary, but failed one after another. Such things came one after another.

He still has nine hours to turn around, and he must win three million before nine o'clock this morning. If he can't do it, the court will put a seal on his door, forcibly sell his Mercedes-Benz sports car, and formally arrest him, but these people will not give him nine hours to turn over the book.

The sound of the house thrown on the table interrupted his thoughts.

He took the card, six barrels, he squeezed it in his hand, rubbed it, thought about it again and again, and still played it casually.

"What a fool!"

The big golden tooth facing the door smiled and showed the card. He kept bragging about how lucky he was. He almost changed the card of Tinghu, but in the end he didn't change it. He grabbed An Yi's card and gave him a fierce blow. Fortunately, it was just Pinghu.

An Yi had less money, and his forehead was sweating. He grabbed half a pack of cigarettes on the table and stuffed one into his mouth with some trembling. There were three waves of people at this card table. When they left, most of them lost money, but a few lucky people won the money and left contentedly. This wave is obviously coming to stay up all night. As long as one of them doesn't lose, it won't be replaced.

An Yi's IQ is 219, but he is absolutely too overestimated. The principle of "specialty in art" is also applicable on the card table.

Although he made a lot of money in the stock market when he started from nothing, it may not be suitable to make a decision on the gambling table. He has been losing in these dozen laps, and they seem to have figured out An Yi's psychology of playing cards. He pinched his thighs fiercely, forced himself to calm down, and re-entered the shuffling action.

The card Anyi just now was not playing randomly. He pinched two or five barrels in three or four barrels. There was only one on the table and one was below, and the rest was in the next hand, so he threw out six barrels to lure him, making his opponent think that he didn't need the barrel. But if you care too much about one and lose the other, you can't take care of everything after all.

A total of 136 cards, with a barrel strip white in the southeast and northwest wind, and there is no Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum in spring, summer, autumn and winter. It doesn't take long to rotate around, and it's easy to calculate how many cards each person can pass.

After playing cards for most of the night, the three cards have been mastered by Anyi. As long as he can calm down and pay them with 80% of his usual energy, he can get it. But the more you get to the critical moment, the more stunned you are, and you always make mistakes at the critical moment.

Da Jinya's card skills are not high, and he is also very bold. Any shark will like this fish very much, and Anyi is no exception - but he has to admit that this fish's luck tonight is really unspeakable.

He felt that he should have stopped. He didn't look at the almanac when he went out. Maybe you should go home now and call all your relatives and friends to borrow money to tide over the difficulties. But he still stayed, and his humble dignity made him unable to let it go. And he is already winning, blood. Mahjong can be up to 36 times, and there is no faster money than this. As long as you look carefully and calculate clearly, every time you play a card, every time you close a card, winning one is another ending, and he is the one who laughs to the end.

Anyi should pray that the big fish will not answer the phone at a critical moment, and then tell their wife to call to leave urgently.

Ma Li's good card, Ami Tofu, the face of the card is really good. It's the first time to listen to Hu tonight. The same card has formed 1112345678999, and you can touch any of the cards. It's not clear, it's the "Jiulian Lantern."

At this time, the face of the dead fish in the upper family suddenly glowed. Unexpectedly, he laughed and shouted loudly to the little sister to add a cup of tea. This kind of performance is that everyone can see that he has a good face. After playing for so long, everyone is basically familiar with it. Why don't you increase it? He suggested.

"I don't care?" The golden-toothed fat man grinned.

"This is not in line with the rules..." The next one hesitated, because now the card is big enough. After several bets, he has accumulated 10,000, but he is lucky, so he did not veto it. The current situation is two-to-one, and the key is An Yi's attitude.

"How much do you add?" An Yi asked quietly.

"I can see that you are all big bosses. Eighty thousand, it's not too much to ask for good luck. His eyes swept around the seat, but the numbers made An Yi's heart beat. If he had just entered the casino at the beginning, he would not hesitate to agree, but now as long as he doubled, he didn't win, he would completely lose it!

The golden tooth fat man laughed and said, "I should have played like this, otherwise I could have paid more pocket money just now."

There are no other objections. With a kind of acquiescence, the multiple has quadrupled. The two card officials looked at each other and nodded to write it down.

The game continued, and the room was quiet for a moment.

O. Henry, a famous American master of short satirical novels in the 20th century, said, "People's eyes are searchlights!" No matter how skilled a person is to hide his personality and heart, as long as he looks into his eyes, he can always peep into the other person's inner secrets. After all, a person's words, movements, emotions, etc. can be disguised, but his eyes cannot be disguised. Therefore, when people want to understand each other's true intentions, they should focus on their eyes. Only the eyes are the windows of the soul.

The dead fish face of the Shang family has a pair of "elephant eyes", that is, the eyes are a little similar to the elephant's eyes. Although the eyes are small, they are very long and often narrowed into a line. People with this kind of eyes are good at thinking. They are rational people, and they rarely do anything stupid.

This is exactly what An Yi is worried about. Has he been pretending to be a pig and eating tigers?

The next home seems to be harmless, but occasionally reveals a touch of "white eyes". As the name implies, the pupil's eyes are white on all sides. This kind of person is scary to see. If it is a woman, it is even more frightening. People with this kind of white eyes may be in poor health or vicious people.

Looking at the golden-toothed fat man opposite, I thought he was a big fish, but why did he feel more and more uneasy now?

Everyone on the table began to knock on the table to remind An Yi that he had been thinking for too long. What's the hurry? I just had a dumb fart!" An Yi made a very lame excuse and regretted it as soon as he said it.

The fat man opposite him first reacted, looked like he didn't dare to be flattering, and waved his arms and fanned the wind fiercely. The other two were calm. It was just a fart. What's more, they didn't smell the smell. There was a sneer on the corners of their mouths, responding to the rare funny atmosphere in the room.

After another five laps, there was no bumper. An Yi felt more and more uneasy, because the next family and the golden tooth fat man changed cards frequently from the beginning to now. Obviously, they listened to the cards. In the current situation, either touch yourself or wait for food delivery fools. In this case, you have to be cautious every time you play a card.

At this time, the fat man with golden teeth suddenly looked directly at An Yi, knocked on the table disorderly with a big ring in one hand, and asked coldly, "You don't have much money with you?"

An Yi was stunned. This fat man is really not simple. He is the real tiger behind him. Although his heart turned upside down, his face still remained unchanged. An Yi, a much better business negotiator than him, has experienced this kind of lame method of frightening snakes, just to disturb his heart.

"I'm afraid I can't afford it!" An Yi mocked that he didn't look at him, nor did he look at the eyes of the two families. He grabbed his own cards and lost his cards, "Can I swipe the card here?"

This sentence is asked by the card official referee on the side. The flow of funds on this table is less than tens of millions. This is a big commission. The two young men are very attentive, "Yes, sir, I support all kinds of credit cards and UnionPay cards."

The fat man smiled and stopped talking.

But his words have achieved his goal. After all, An Yi entered the casino for the first time, and it is useless to have a high IQ. There are not many cards on the table. Everyone has to hold the cards in their hands. Now it's time to touch himself. He has already felt his hands trembling. He grabbed the cards and almost lost them. "This is the success or failure!"

I caught the card. At this moment, the door behind me suddenly made an unpleasant creak. The cold wind poured in, and the smoke above his head became more and more open, like an old monster.

The action in the room suddenly stopped, "Who's coming!"

An Yi turned around in astonishment and happened to see a thin figure against the background of lightning. She is a girl whose face can't be seen when her hair is scattered. The short skirt exposes the long white thighs outside, and the wet chest under the T-shirt is attached to the corset. When he was drunk, he was obviously stunned to see the things in the room.

"Little bitch, what are you doing? Do you want to take shelter from the rain and go somewhere else? This is not where you should come." The two referees rushed over, grabbed the clothes and pushed them out.

"Wait a minute!"

An Yi shouted, and everyone's eyes quickly gathered on him. He stood up and said, "I called this girl. It was agreed that he didn't call her before twelve o'clock, so he would follow me."

In fact, he doesn't know her at all. He just needs a little time, hoping to calm himself down as soon as possible.

The card game is temporarily detained and supervised by the referee.

An Yi asked the waiter for a dry towel and handed it to the girl. She may have been woken up by the rain, or scared by the strange atmosphere here, she was smart and sat on the sofa behind him without saying a word, bowing her head and wiping her wet hair.

It's really raining outside. An Yi is a little restless and her mind is not on her at all.

Turning his head and looking at the disappointing expressions of the other three people, smoking, drinking tea, and taking the opportunity to go to the toilet and leave their seats. Obviously, their enthusiasm for victory and defeat is weakening, and maybe the fortune will change. During this period, it may be the time to reverse the world. Success or failure in this game must not be given up.

The card game started again, and An Yi received a five-piece. That was not what he wanted, but it was very tricky. If you play five pieces out, it's very safe to listen to Hu 250,000 to 80,000 yuan. The problem is the opposite card. It would be better to change another 10,000 cards, right? At this time, he can't force it. He only has 80,000 yuan left. If he doesn't want others to talk nonsense, he will be fine after breaking up the listening card and playing 20,000 yuan. He clings to 20,000 yuan tightly...

The next card game was over, and the sound of shuffling suddenly became noisy. The sound insulation effect here is really bad. The mahjong pieces collided with each other, and almost no other sounds could be heard, which made Anyi more confused! Just as I was about to type out, a whisper came from my ear, "Uncle, this doesn't work..."

Suddenly, at this critical moment, An Yiru was thundered and turned his head and stared at the girl angrily. He should have scolded this guy fiercely, but he is very vulnerable at this moment when he usually makes decisive decisions. Even if he wants to stop a little bit of advice to himself, he will naively think that it is luck, so that her name is Uncle An Yi and she is not angry.

"Do you know mahjong?" There is still the noise of the mahjong collision next door.

"I don't understand... I don't understand at all!"

An Yi suddenly found that the girl had a pure and beautiful face, and a pair of big black eyes was the same as the heroine who had only seen one or two anime - Hei Liang! It's hard to imagine such a pure girl wandering around in the middle of the night dressed as a little sister. Maybe she is a prostitute and has nothing to do tonight. If it's usual, he doesn't mind taking care of her business. But this sentence dragged him into the hysteria and made him angry.

"The signs are obvious now. It is that you don't have the belief in winning in your heart. This can only help others. The belief that people who have lost in the casino have made a final try. You are just afraid now!"

The next door was quiet, but An Yi's heart was boiling like an oil pot. He looked at the 20,000 yuan in his hand and looked at his card face. Obviously, it was the game of 1112345678999 Jiulianbao Lantern Hu, which was more strange than 13th.

"It's true that as she said, why do you want to dismantle the listening card at this time? It's time to throw away the five cards in your hand. In order to avoid danger, if you throw away the chess pieces, you will never have a chance to win again. What's more, it's time to let go.

"Bum--"

Five pieces were printed smoothly on the table. The golden tooth fat man raised his head in surprise. The ferocious golden teeth reflected the light and was particularly dazzling, and the subordinate frowned imperceptiblely. In fact, at this time, the next family had already listened to Hu. In his hand, there was a pair of 20,000, Nanfeng and three to make a fortune. Listening to Hu was 20,000 Nanfeng to make a fortune, he guessed that the card he wanted was in An Yi's hand. Then he caught 10,000 cards, and he could throw 20,000 with 10,000, but in this way, he could only listen to Hu 30,000. He was very contradictory and hesitated for a long time, but he threw away the ten thousand in his hand.

"Hum--"

An Yi pushed down the card face, the Jiulian treasure lamp, doubled twelve times, the bottom bet of 80,000, and rushed back nearly one million at once. But this is not the most important thing. He has regained his mentality. With his previous observation of the three people, he has more and more control over the situation. Even if I was unlucky and won first, I didn't deliver food, and there were more and more chips on the table.

Finally, an hour later, the golden-toothed fat man couldn't sit still. He left the table with a green face, and the other two looked much better. Anyi rushed back 1.5 million yuan and made a net profit of three million yuan.

Some people began to talk about Anyi's good luck. After all, the previous table was already very big, and it was rare to win millions... They exclaimed loudly, which attracted more bystanders. An Yi paid the bill calmly and took the girl to the parking lot.

It's nine o'clock in the morning, and there are still eight hours left!

"Well, give me back all of mine, eat my drink and spit out all of mine... Is this the mentality I should have?"

No, he's tired of it!

He was tired of constant intrigue, flattery, conspiracy, and pretending. Maybe he had just experienced a life-and-death choice, which made him realize that maybe it was time to dissolve the company and find something easy to do.

For example, "Sleeping, eating and so on, and I'm not tired. It's the best for me!" An Yi remembered the classic line of Cherry Balls.

"Would you like to drink?" Sitting on the Mercedes-Benz, he said to the girl who didn't know her name yet.

"Uh-huh!"

The girl nodded sweetly, but her eyes flashed with self-abandonment madness, "Have a good drink!"

Mercedes-Benz ran wildly on a rainy night.
