"Aren't you Master Zhou from Lin'an Village?" Lin Sanhu asked in surprise when he saw the old man.
"Yes, do you know me?" Mr. Zhou gently stroked the beard on his mouth and glanced slowly towards Lin Sanhu, "You look familiar to me."
"My name is Lin Sanhu, and I also live in Lin'an Village. It's just that my family has recently moved here and we live in the mountains. You may not know me." Lin Sanhu replied quickly.
"Oh, you are the new family that moved here last year, your surname is Lin, right?" After hearing this, Mr. Zhou seemed to think for a moment before saying, "I remember you, your mother and brother are both capable people."
"I didn't expect Master Zhou to still remember us." Lin Sanhu said quickly, looking a little flattered.
"It's rare to see you here. It's fate. All of us here are brothers. No need to be polite. Sit down and have a drink."
Although Mr. Zhou is a bit old, he is a very good person and does not show off at all. He also enthusiastically introduced him to the other guests at the table, saying that he was a fellow countryman and his nephew.
Lin Sanhu was deeply moved by his protective look. He felt that people thought highly of him, so he raised his glass and toasted him several glasses of wine. Mr. Zhou was also very satisfied with him and talked to him with a smile.
Ask him about things in the village.
As soon as he talked about his family's affairs in the village, Lin Sanhu felt a little aggrieved, especially when Master Zhou treated him as his nephew. Lin Sanhu couldn't care about anything else and only thought about the grievances he had suffered in Lai'an Village.
, all poured out in front of him, and there was even some exaggeration in the words.
He said that the villagers excluded his family, and that the village chief looked down on him, deliberately embarrassing his family, preventing them from buying land, and so on. He even got a little red-eyed when he talked about the anger.
Master Zhou Zhou was filled with indignation when he heard this, "This Zhang Huaiyuan, it's true. Since he helped you settle down, he should be responsible to the end. How can you do this? It's just random to manipulate people when you have two powers!"
"
Then he said to Lin Sanhu: "Don't worry, I will go to him and tell him about this matter, and he will not let him embarrass you again. Although I don't know your family, I know from the way you are, and your family must be the same."
A good, honest man.”
"Yes, yes." Lin Sanhu was extremely moved when he heard what Mr. Zhou said. Everyone thought he was just a young boy, but when he was here, he received great recognition from Mr. Zhou. So what?
How could he not be happy? He couldn't help but toast him with wine.
After drinking and eating, Master Zhou said again: "I heard that little brother, you like to play leaf cards? Why don't you play with me?"
"Ah? With my skills, how dare I play with you, Third Master?"
"Hey, don't be humble. Don't worry. If you win, it's yours. If you lose, it's mine." Mr. Zhou said with a smile. Lin Sanhu agreed upon hearing this.
Immediately afterwards, someone brought leaf cards. Mr. Zhou asked someone to close the table and called two more people to play with him.
I don’t know why, but Lin Sanhu had great luck today. He won every time. After playing a few games, Mr. Zhou pushed his cards and said, “I won’t play any more.”
"Third Master, don't be angry, I don't want this money from you." Lin Sanhu said quickly and asked for the money in front of him to be returned.
"You boy, Third Master, do I care about this little money? But I think you are very lucky. Playing with me will waste your good luck. Come on, Third Master will take you to the venue to play a few games."
Master Zhou said, he got up and walked out, and everyone quickly followed him. Lin Sanhu was not stupid, so he naturally knew what scene Master Zhou was referring to.
Ye Chuqiu had repeatedly warned them not to let them go to the casino. He also knew that the casino was not a good place. That scoundrel Huang Junsheng lost all his money and even sold his land because he was fond of gambling. In a place like this, he
How can I go?
"Sanhu, why are you still standing there? Follow me quickly." At this time, Ye Yaozu turned around and urged.
"Cousin, come here." Lin Sanhu waved to him, and Ye Yaozu came over impatiently, "What's wrong? I'm still waiting to ask for the reward."
"I don't want to go to the casino, my mother won't let me go to that kind of place." Lin Sanhu said.
"Oh, we don't want to gamble. This is not gambling." Ye Yaozu waved his hand and said, "We are just going to see the world. Only by understanding these things will we not be fooled when we meet in the future, right?"
When Lin Sanhu heard this, he thought it made sense, but he was still a little worried and asked: "Then what should we do if the Third Master asks us to gamble?"
"Don't worry, even your small amount of money will not be looked upon by casinos. Even if Third Master lets you gamble, he will definitely let you gamble on his behalf. If you win, you will get a reward, and if you lose, it will be his. What are you afraid of?
."
When Ye Yaozu said this, Lin Sanhu felt relieved. While still hesitating, Zhou Zhou and others had already gone downstairs. Ye Yaozu glared at him and chased after him hurriedly. When Lin Sanhu saw this, he was afraid of offending Zhou Zhou.
Ye and others also hurriedly chased after him.
The casino was open on the street, but it was inconspicuous. There were a few thugs with sticks patrolling outside. When they saw Master Zhou coming, they quickly opened the curtain and said, "Master San, you are here, please come quickly."
."
As soon as he entered behind the curtain, the noise was overwhelming, and Lin Sanhu felt that he had entered a different world.
"Big! Big! Big!"
"Little! Little! Little!"
At the entrance, there is a place for betting on dice. The gamblers gathered in front of a table as if they were crazy and kept shouting, waiting for the dealer to open their cups.
As soon as the dealer opened the lid, there was a burst of boos.
"Oh, it's big again!"
There were also a few people who won the bet, but most of them didn't say anything. They just put their money in front of them with a smile and continued to bet.
In addition to dice, there are all kinds of gambling games, even leaf cards, but Lin Sanhu has never seen more gambling games.
"Third Master, what do you want to play today?" A boy from the casino came over.
"Take my group of brothers to have a long experience and take a look around." Mr. Zhou waved his hand and walked forward with a casual and leisurely pace.
"Okay, if you need anything, just call me." The waiter said and went to greet other guests.
However, most of the gamblers here are acquaintances, and the boy just says hello to them. Only those who look unfamiliar will he greet them warmly and even teach them how to play.
"Sanhu, have you ever played dice?" Mr. Zhou walked to a dice gambling table and sat down, turning to look at Lin Sanhu.
"Just guessing the size, right?" Lin Sanhu nodded and asked.
"Well, that's right. If you guess the size, you'll pay two if you win. If you guess the leopard, you'll lose six if you guess the leopard. This game is very simple." Mr. Zhou took out the dry tobacco stick, took a puff, and then said slowly.
I don’t know why, but when seeing Mr. Zhou Zhou, Lin Sanhu wanted to express himself in front of him. He nodded quickly and said: "Then I can do this."
"In that case, then play a few games for me." Mr. Zhou said.
"Third Master, I...my mother won't let me play." Lin Sanhu looked at Mr. Zhou with a troubled face.
"Look at how scared you kid is. You just played two games for me. Win or lose counts." Master Zhou blew out a smoke ring, took off his purse and threw it in front of him, "Just have fun, it doesn't matter if you lose."
"I think Sanhu is lucky today. He will definitely not lose." Ye Yaozu on the side flattered him and said to Lin Sanhu: "Sanhu, why don't you have the courage? Hurry up and place your bet. Don't worry.
Well, Third Master is a kind man, and I won’t ask you to pay for it if you lose.”
"Then... let me give it a try." Lin Sanhu saw that the gamblers next to him had begun to place bets, so he also opened the purse that Mr. Zhou had thrown to him, took out a piece of silver, and placed bets casually.
A small one.
Unexpectedly, this bet actually won, which made Lin Sanhu very happy. He turned to look at Master Zhou and said, "Master San."
"Go on." Mr. Zhou said: "Generally, novices have good luck. Mr. San, I'm just here to lend you some luck today. Just bet on it."
Lin Sanhu thought for a while, took another piece of silver, bet big, and won again this time.
"Look at you, you are so cowardly. If I had bet more for Third Master just now, I would have won more than this amount of money." When Lin Sanhu was about to bet again for the third time, Ye Yaozu took out two taels of silver from his pocket.
Lin Sanhu followed Lin Sanhu and said, "You don't dare to bet, but my brother dares to bet. Today I will see how long your luck can last, and I will bet with you."
Lin Sanhu always couldn't stand being excited, and then he thought that it was Master Zhou's money anyway, so he was still so cowardly? He gritted his teeth and bet a little more. Unexpectedly, he won again this time. Master Zhou was overjoyed and rewarded him directly.
He gave him two taels of silver and said, "Sanhu, thank you for your hard work. Please keep me safe."
Lin Sanhu missed the next bet. He blamed himself a little, but he didn't expect Master Zhou to be angry at all. Instead, he said: "When you play this game, it's normal to lose and win. You won every hand, unless you win."
You are a god."
After that, let him continue.
Lin Sanhu felt relieved when he heard what he said. Next, he won a few more games. There were more and more silver coins and copper coins in front of him. Even Ye Yaozu on the side also won a lot with him.
After winning so much money, Lin Sanhu was very happy. He just felt that his luck was extremely good today. When he was about to continue winning, he didn't expect Mr. Zhou to stop him, "Sanhu, you can play dice."
Now, Third Master, I will go over there and have a look."
After that, he collected the money on the table and left with his money bag, without even giving him any reward.
Seeing the pile of money in front of him disappear all of a sudden, Lin Sanhu felt a little disappointed. He hadn't had enough fun yet.
"Three Tigers, are you ready to play?" At this time, Ye Yaozu asked from the side.
"Master San doesn't want to play anymore, so why should we play?" Lin Sanhu replied disappointedly.
