Chapter 81: The Secret of Poker
The "IOU" signed by three people was casually placed aside.
Sun Yaozu was overjoyed. He was extremely lucky today!
Glancing at Guo Tao who looked dissatisfied, he thought to himself: How can I let this guy run away now?
When he has earned enough money, he will throw it hard in the face of the person who said he wanted to cut off his fingers.
I also need to buy Xiao Cong some new clothes so that his sister with eyes in the sky can take a good look at them!
When he thought about the messy cloth coupons required to make clothes, he had already lost to others.
...Forget it, let’s just buy some snacks that Xiaocong likes.
In the first game that started over, Guo Tao and Sun Yaozu won, and Liu Feng lost.
Sun Yaozu lost the next four games in a row.
He started to get a little impatient and asked for more than three cards each time.
The result was exactly twenty-one once, and all five times were hits.
Sun Yaozu began to feel like backing off. He thought about how his village still owed a few dollars and he didn't want to owe any more money.
But in the next few games, Liu Feng and Guo Tao both exploded, and he doubled his profits in several consecutive games.
Sun Yaozu's eyes turned red.
There is no time to worry about winning or losing.
Therefore, he did not realize that he won less and lost more, and that he either had to double his money every time or give money to two people.
We fought from dawn till dusk.
Ever since Guo Tao said he had no money, they just wrote down the amount on a piece of paper instead of giving him any cash.
By the time he realized what was happening, he already owed the two of them a total of thirty dollars.
Thirty dollars.
He couldn't save that much even after several months.
Sun Yaozu was dumbfounded. He didn't understand how he had turned from a winner into the biggest loser. He clearly felt that the frequency of his wins and losses was half and half with the other two.
"I must have made a mistake. I was clearly winning before, how could I lose so much?"
Liu Feng slapped his thigh fiercely, his eyes widened, and he looked ferocious: "Brother, what do you mean by this? Would we lie to you? It's written clearly in black and white, how could we lie to you?!"
Sun Yaozu looked at it several times in disbelief, his arms shaking uncontrollably.
Guo Tao narrowed his eyes: "Brother, you don't want to admit it, do you?"
Sun Yaozu looked at the man who suddenly became difficult to deal with, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said humbly: "How could that be, little brother, I didn't bring any money today, tomorrow, at this time tomorrow I will give it to you, okay, I will live in that area."
He made up a fake address, and when Guo Tao and Liu Feng were out of his sight, he immediately ran back to the village.
It seems that I can’t come to the county town for a while!
Bah, these two brats are just luckier.
Fortunately, he was smart and gave a fake address. Want to find him and ask for money? Maybe next life!
It’s a pity that in order to prevent the other two guys from denying their debt, he wrote his real name on the IOU.
But it didn't matter, they couldn't find him.
Sun Yaozu stayed at home for two days trembling with fear. No matter who called him, he would not go out, for fear of being found by Guo Tao and Liu Feng.
On the other side, Shen Xiaoyue received a letter at the post office.
It was a reply to my previous submission to the Zhiqing Newspaper.
Her ode to farmers was selected.
In the reply letter, the editor praised her as an educated youth who was good at observing life, saying that her writing was simple and delicate, showing the unique style of contemporary farmers, and hoped that she would submit more articles in the future.
Shen Xiaoyue was extremely happy holding the ten yuan in her hand.
He shook it in front of Lu Ping'an as if showing off.
"Well, I said I can support you."
After more than two weeks of study and enlightenment, he is now much more educated than before. At least those blocks that made him dizzy have turned into meaningful words.
Lu Ping'an read it carefully. Although he still didn't understand it very well, he thought it was amazing!
Then he hugged her and spun around excitedly: "Wife, you are so great!"
Guo Tao and Liu Feng stood by, looking at each other.
Shouldn't they be here?
What should I do?
Do they still talk?
"cough."
Liu Feng coughed awkwardly.
Shen Xiaoyue patted Lu Ping'an's shoulder, her face flushed slightly, and signaled him to put her down.
That was her first successful submission, and she was so excited that she didn’t pay attention to the occasion.
Lu Ping'an reluctantly put her down, but his arm was still firmly around her waist.
He did not forget that his wife looked at Guo Tao a few more times when they first met. If this matter did not require two people, he would have just wanted to ask Liu Feng for help.
After all, Liu Feng is dark and thin, and it is obvious at first glance that he is not Xiaoyue's type.
Guo Tao took a step forward without much tact and held up the IOU signed by the three people.
But now only Sun Yaozu owes money
"Sister-in-law, you are really smart."
Guo Tao was amazed. He could understand how Shen Xiaoyue could predict that Sun Yaozu would definitely take the bait. After all, he was really addicted to gambling.
But he couldn't understand why Sun Yaozu kept gambling and lost thirty dollars. Who would play cards like that?
If he was the one who did this, he would definitely have thought that the cards had been tampered with. Why didn't Sun Yaozu think of this?
This deck of cards was specially made by Shen Xiaoyue. There are marks on the back that only they know, which can accurately grasp the points of the cards in their hands.
Shen Xiaoyue shrugged, met three pairs of eyes eager for knowledge, and patiently explained to them.
"You let him win by a narrow margin at the beginning, and it was a narrow win by exactly 21 points, which gave him great confidence. Combined with what Liu Feng said about your good luck today, he will have a subtle sense of superiority that he is better than others."
"Winning and losing and making Guo Tao look sullen is to lower his guard. If you keep winning or losing, he might become wary. This is to make him believe that you two are not in the same group and that everything is just luck and coincidence."
Although it is very likely that Sun Yaozu does not have such a thing of vigilance.
“When a person places too much trust in luck, he will subconsciously ignore other factors.”
Guo Tao's timely expression of displeasure made Sun Yaozu, who had won over the boss, sign without hesitation.
Sun Yaozu's explosion, which left Guo Tao and Liu Feng with only 17 points in that game, further strengthened the psychological suggestion that "he was actually very lucky today."
And in the next few games, after losing a game, I won several games in a row.
Let him believe that no matter how he loses, he will be able to turn the tables in the next game.
"As for how he didn't notice, that's even simpler. The money was in his hands, and there were only a few words written on the paper. He didn't feel like he had lost any money. It's impossible for him to calculate how much money he had lost while playing cards. If he was really that rational, he wouldn't go gambling every day."
The minds of gamblers are very easy to guess, but they only think they are very profound because they have never seen these things before.
When she was working in Guangcheng, she had seen too many people who used all kinds of means to make money.
