Cao'er's words had obviously taken root in Li Shangcai's heart. He tortured Cao'er until midnight the night before. The next day, he changed his depressed look of the previous few days, walked out of the yard refreshed and went straight to the casino.
Before leaving, he locked the door tightly, even the windows, leaving them unable to be opened even a crack.
Although Li Shang has a bond with him, he is not afraid that he will run away, but it is better to be safe than sorry. It is always better to be cautious.
He put the key on his waist. He hadn't left the hospital for several days, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he suddenly went out.
There were all kinds of people on the street. Li Shangcai felt that passers-by were pointing and talking behind his back, secretly discussing his miserable appearance. He walked quickly through the crowded places with his head down, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must make a comeback in the gambling house and let those villains with great power see it.
The gambling house's signboard is not very conspicuous. If you don't look carefully, it will be drowned out by the signboards of several tall and large courtyards next to it.
A closer look reveals that such worries are unnecessary. The number of people coming and going in front of the gambling house is not as many as in the shops nearby.
Li Shangcai was dreaming of turning his life around when he stepped into the gambling house, but he was also taking one and a half steps into the gates of hell.
There was a lot of shouting inside, and the cheers of winning and losing coming from different gambling tables from time to time kept stimulating his mind. The glittering silver on the table almost made his eyes glued to it and unable to move away.
The people Zhao Luochuan brought with him had already scattered around the gambling house, waiting for Li Shangcai to take the bait. From the moment he entered the door, they surrounded him intentionally or unintentionally.
This was not Li Shangcai's first time here, so he knew all the rules. He had played card fighting and dice rolling many times before. As long as it was valuable, he could bet it regardless of whether it was silver or not.
Many people who lost everything in a panic not only lost their fortunes, but also their wives and children.
Li Shang didn't place any bets at the beginning, but walked around all the tables first.
After looking around, the one that most makes him want to give it a try is the simplest bet on big or small. The rules are not difficult and the bet is big. Three dice are thrown at the same time. The number greater than or equal to nine is big, and less than nine is small. If three identical numbers are thrown out, it is a leopard, and the dealer wins.
He watched for a while, and saw that someone at the table had won nearly a hundred taels in just the time it took to hold an incense stick. Li Shang couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and when the person got down from the table, he immediately went up to him.
"Brother, what's your name?"
The man glanced at him, unfazed by his feigned familiarity, and replied indifferently, "My last name is Zhou."
"Oh, Brother Zhou, I'm so sorry." Li Shangcai put on his previous scholarly demeanor and bowed to him.
Zhou Yun packed up the silver and money he won, and the heavy bag in his hand really attracted everyone's attention. Li Shangcai's eyes were always involuntarily attracted by the bulging bag, and he didn't notice that Zhou Yun's expression looked unfriendly.
"Brother Zhou, you're in good luck today. I think we're destined to be together. Could you give me some pointers?"
Zhou Yun looked at him for a long time before he laughed out loud: "Okay, what do you want to play?"
"How about we try our luck with the one you just played?"
Zhou Yun agreed immediately, and someone took his place as soon as he left the gambling table. The atmosphere at the table was now very tense and it was difficult to squeeze in. He looked around and asked the waiter to find a small square table for the two of them to have tea.
"Since we're just trying our hand, the two of us will be enough. We won't bet big, just a few dozen coins. After two rounds, you can make your plans. How about that?"
Li Shangcai nodded. He was looking for Zhou Yun for no other reason. There was no such thing as constant luck at the gambling table. Zhou Yun had already won a lot. If he hadn't lost two games later, he might not have been willing to leave the table. He saw it clearly. Since Zhou Yun's luck in gambling had come to an end, it was time for him to take his own turn.
As soon as the two of them sat down, four or five people gathered around them. The dice cup rattled a few times in Zhou Yun's hand, and then it was slammed on the table.
"Come on, is it big or small?"
Li Shangcai half guessed, "Big."
Zhou Yun nodded and carefully opened the dice cup. The dice inside showed two sixes and one four.
"Big! It's really big." Li Shangcai happily pulled someone next to him and shook it hard.
The man smiled and complimented, "What good luck!"
Zhou Yun had a smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Congratulations, brother. You're lucky. Do you want to try again?"
"Come!"
The dice cup swung again, and Li Shangcai chose first again. He stuck to his previous number: "Big."
The dice cup on the table was opened, and two fives and a three appeared. Li Shangcai excitedly jumped up from his stool and shouted, "I won! I won again!"
Winning two games in a row gave Li Shangcai confidence, and when Zhou Yun asked him if he wanted to continue, he agreed immediately.
Zhou Yun sneered in his heart and continued to shake the dice cup.
After he won several games in a row, Li Shang became more and more complacent. He won dozens of taels of silver from Zhou Yun, and his behavior became more and more arrogant.
There are people around who are eager to try.
"I'll do it."
The man replaced Zhou Yun and slammed twenty taels on the table to gamble with Li Shangcai, but in just a short while, he had lost everything.
Li Shangcai firmly believed that he was a lucky man favored by God today. The smile on his face never faded, and the wrinkles on his face became more and more obvious.
The feeling of winning in a row was so good that Li Shangcai was flattered by the people around him and became arrogant. After winning three games in a row, Zhou Yun pretended to be anxious about losing and insisted on having another game with Li Shangcai.
Li Shangcai didn't take him seriously at all now, and responded to Zhou Yun with contempt.
But he never expected that after winning all night, he actually lost the first hand to Zhou Yun. When he saw that the size of the dots in the dice cup was different from his own, he widened his eyes in disbelief and his face became a little distorted.
"how so?"
"What's the big deal? Winning and losing are normal at the gambling table. You've beaten us so many times, so you should give us some money back, right?"
The person who was speaking stood aside with his arms folded, his tone sounding as if he was just watching the fun.
Li Shangcai had just won the money, but before he could even warm it up, he was about to give it away again. How could he bear this? He slammed the money heavily on the table and roared, "Another time!"
Zhou Yun seemed to have expected him to say this, and his hands never stopped moving.
The amount of money bet was getting bigger and bigger, just like Li Shangcai won in a row just now, Zhou Yuncai won back all the money he lost to him after winning three times against him.
Li Shangcai couldn't stand this ups and downs, and glared at Zhou Yun: "Come again!"
Zhou Yun withdrew his hand and said calmly: "I've been here all night. I'm tired and don't want to play anymore."
"You're cheating. You want to leave after winning the money? It's not that easy. Come again!"
Zhou Yun raised his eyelids and looked at him lazily: "Are you sure?"
"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense!"
