Chapter 669: Fatal Gamble
Tiantian was shuffling the cards. She followed the example of the monkey just now and divided the cards into two piles.
Then he inserted the two piles of cards into each other. Just as he was about to play with it again, but whether because of nervousness or unfamiliarity, his hands shook and all the cards were instantly scattered on the table.
Everyone looked at the sound at the same time, only to see the cards facing up one after another, making everyone see them at a glance.
Seeing that something was not going well, Tiantian hurriedly gathered all the cards again, then put them on the table, and then dealt the cards.
"Wait a minute." Qiao Jiajin frowned and stretched out his hand.
"How...?" Dihou asked, "Your people are shuffling the cards, and you still can't believe it?"
"Whether I believe her or not." Qiao Jiajin replied, "But if you look at the cards, I want to shuffle them again."
"How can there be such a rule...?" Dihou said, "We found a separate "dealer" this time, isn't it just to prevent us from shuffling the cards?"
"We have six lives, Fatty Horse." Qiao Jiajin didn't give in even a step, "Six lives are hanging here, don't we even have the qualifications to shuffle the cards?"
"Okay, then I will also wash you after you finish washing." Dihou said.
"Is this how you play? Okay, Brother Monkey, after you finish washing, I will wash you too." Chen Junnan continued, "Let's see if I can't fucking kill you."
Earth Monkey shrugged and made no objection.
Qiao Jiajin took the cards and shuffled them in his hands. He felt that the monkey was staring at the cards in his hand.
"Fat Ma Liu... our movies often have this kind of plot. People who are proficient in gambling can know which card they want by just looking at the opponent's hand shuffling the cards."
"Oh?" Dihou nodded, "But do you think such gambling skills exist in reality?"
"Just in case." After Qiao Jiajin finished speaking, he put the cards under the table, shuffled them loudly, then picked up the cards and handed them to the monkey.
Earth Monkey took the deck of cards in his hand, looked over at the side, made sure that the other party had not made any creases, then symbolically washed them, and then handed them to Chen Junnan.
Chen Junnan also followed Qiao Jiajin's example, stacking the cards under the table and shuffling them randomly. When he was about to hand the cards to Tiantian, Dihou stopped him again.
He picked up the card pile again and looked at it for a long time to make sure that the other party was really not manipulating it, and then shuffled it a few more times before letting Tiantian start dealing the cards.
No matter what the other two wanted to do, the only people participating in the gambling in this game were themselves and Qi Xia. No matter how much the rest of them did, it was just a cover-up.
But I don't know if Chen Junnan put too much pressure on Dihou in the early stage. Now Dihou is getting angry looking at Chen Junnan's cynical expression, so much so that he can't calm down at all.
Tiantian took a deep breath, turned over a card from the top of the deck, and gently placed it in front of her eyes.
"Xiao Xue".
"October 23rd".
"One zero two three..." Chen Junnan muttered silently in his heart, and then withdrew his gaze.
The people around him naturally knew that this was not a good sign, and the card turned out was a bit too big.
The sum of the numbers on just one card reached "six" points, and the sum of the next two cards of Qi Xia and Dihou could not exceed "ten" points.
Tiantian lightly covered her lips. She had just clearly heard that Qi Xia and Dihou had made a new rule, that is, a "draw" would count as Qi Xia's loss.
But if the first card is so big... wouldn't Qi Xia's probability of losing increase significantly?
Qi Xia sat there and swayed, not paying attention to the cards on the table, as if he was about to faint.
Tiantian picked up a card and hesitated for a while, not knowing who to give it to.
Chen Junnan stretched out his hand to support Qi Xia and winked at Tiantian: "Although Lao Qi is not feeling well, please give it to Brother Hou'er first. We respect the old and love the young."
Tiantian nodded after hearing this and dealt the card to Earth Monkey.
Earth Monkey slowly turned over the card, revealing the words on it.
"rainwater".
"January 21st".
"One, two, one, total pastries..." Chen Junnan shook Qi Xia, "Old Qi, wake up quickly, the cards are being dealt."
Qi Xia reluctantly opened her eyes and took a card from Tiantian's hand.
He took a deep breath and turned over the cards, his expression instantly becoming heavy.
"Lunar New Year's eve"!
"Fuck..." Chen Junnan was about to stand up in fright, but then he thought of something.
Although this card looks big, if you think about it carefully, the numbers that make up it are only "one, two, three, zero", and the total is only "six".
"O-Old Qi, cheer up, we haven't lost yet." Chen Junnan shook Qi Xia again, "If you want to faint, wait until we are dead before you faint."
Qi Xia nodded symbolically.
Since the bets of both parties have been placed before this round begins, there is no need to place bets midway. Tiantian is about to issue "hidden cards" to the two of them.
Just like in the previous round, she handed the first card to Earth Monkey, then gently picked up another card and handed it to Qi Xia.
Qi Xia looked at the card and frowned slightly. As soon as he put the card on the table, he fell down as if he had lost consciousness, and fell right on the "hidden card".
"I lost it!"
"Lao Qi!"
The two people beside him quickly helped Qi Xia up and found that his eyes were almost completely dull.
The open wound on his forehead started bleeding again after this impact, and a ferocious red flower was printed on the back of this "hidden card".
Chen Junnan felt bad when he saw this, so he quickly took the "hidden card" in his hand, put it under the table and wiped the blood on the back. Unfortunately, the deck of cards was made of matte material and was not waterproof. Small blood spots were still easy to deal with, but such a large area of blood had seeped into the cards and could not be wiped clean.
He quickly stuffed the cards from under the table into Qi Xia's hands, and then reached out and patted Qi Xia again: "Old Qiao! Wake up! Look at this card!"
Qi Xia looked down at the card, his expression was as dead as ashes.
But he seemed to be thinking about something all the time, and he was unwilling to put the card on the table.
"Qi Xia, what's wrong?" After looking at his hidden card, Di Hou slowly put it on the table, and then said, "Will your card let you win?"
Looking at the card in his hand, Qi Xia's head was always depressed. The calligraphy on the card seemed like a weird smile, which made him unable to speak.
"You said you knew my two cards, but why didn't you do anything?" Dihou laughed, "Is this your ability?"
Qi Xia heard Dihou's words and shook his head slowly.
Dihou saw Qi Xia's expression and became even more arrogant: "You have a "Chongyang" in your hand, how can you beat me?!"
Chen Junnan and Qiao Jiajin heard Dihou's words and looked down at the "hidden card" that Qi Xia hid under the table.
It was "Chongyang".
