Chapter 636 The Heart Attacker
When the six people returned to the round table with their own chips, Dihou discovered Qi Xia's clues.
"Why, your physical condition is so poor now?" Dihou asked, holding a cigarette in his mouth. His eyelids were drooped and he looked less energetic than Qi Xia.
"'Now'...?" Qi Xia tried her best to open her eyes and look at him, "Am I better before than now?"
"Ha..." Dihou shook his head, "I have to say... you have changed so much that I almost didn't recognize you."
"Change?" Qi Xia felt that this statement was somewhat interesting.
I have met many people in the "Land of Ending", but no one has ever talked about my "changes".
"What exactly has changed?" Qi Xia asked.
"It's hard to say." Dihou stretched out his hand and scratched his face, "Is it 'mood'? Is it 'attitude'? Is it 'thought'?"
"Each one is more mysterious than the other." Qi Xia snorted, "Let's get started."
Dihou nodded and reached out to pick up the card pile. Just when he was about to deal the cards, Qiao Jiajin stopped him.
"Wait."
Qiao Jiajin reached out and pinched Dihou's wrist, and said softly: "Fat horse, what are you so anxious about?"
Dihou slowly frowned: "What, don't you want to start?"
"Shuffle the cards." Qiao Jiajin said, "How could someone just pick up the pile of cards and deal them out?"
"I've washed it before." Dihou shook off Qiao Jiajin's hand, "But I don't mind washing it again."
He divided the cards into two piles, mixed them neatly, and then used the cutting method to pour the cards several times, and finally placed the cards neatly in front of everyone.
"Is this okay?"
Qiao Jiajin slowly smiled as he stared at the cards. He had seen the card-cutting technique countless times. The man in front of him could not be considered a master in the way he cut cards, but could only be regarded as okay.
"We need to wash too."
"oh?"
"The rules of the casino are that everyone shuffles the cards once." Qiao Jiajin said, "Fat Ma Liu, you run a casino, so you should know these rules better than me."
Only then did Dihou feel that the man in front of him had some knowledge. He seemed to know the casino better than he did.
After hearing this, Qi Xia knew what Qiao Jiajin meant. He decisively picked up the card pile from the table, fiddled with it quickly in his hands a few times, then divided the card pile face up into two piles, and took the opportunity to look at them while they were mixed together. Looking at the cards, this deck is indeed similar to what I thought. It has both the twenty-four solar terms and traditional festivals.
But what exactly does “synomoon” mean?
Several people took turns shuffling the cards. When the deck of cards was handed back to Earth Monkey, he just curled his lips slightly and then placed the cards on the table.
"We can start now." Qiao Jiajin said.
"
Everyone put their own "Tao" on the table.
After everyone put down their chips, Earth Monkey reached out and picked up a card and showed its face on the table.
"Zhongyuan".
"Zhongyuan...?" Chen Junnan was stunned, "What the hell is Zhongyuan?"
"The Ghost Festival." Qi Xia said in a deep voice, "People often call it the Ghost Festival."
"Oh...I understood when you said "Ghost Festival"." Chen Junnan thought for a moment, "It's July 15th!"
"Um."
Earth Monkey ignored everyone, just pointed at this "Zhong Yuan" and said: "This is the "community card" of this game."
Then the monkey picked up a card and put it in front of him, then showed the card.
"Summer Solstice".
"Next, I will deal the cards in turn clockwise. This is the "clear card" of this round." Earth Monkey said again.
