Card Game

The wind pillar roared, and with a low growl, he quickly headed towards Roswell.

Chen Jianqiu rode his horse and continued his journey of chasing the wind with Black Radish.

They soon became parallel to Fengzhu, and Chen Jianqiu maintained a relatively safe distance, watching the monster hitting the town fiercely.

The first thing to bear is the abandoned adobe houses on the outermost side of the town.

They sank into the wind pillar. Chen Jianqiu could not pass through the thick dust walls outside the wind pillar to see clearly what was happening inside, but after the wind pillar passed, nothing was left there.

Most of the people left in the town did not expect the tornado to come in the direction of the town. At this time, they were running wildly towards the outside of the town, screaming loudly while running, mixed with Spanish.

and English, but was soon overwhelmed by the roar of a tornado.

There was only one person who did not leave, he was a local priest.

Yes, there is actually a priest in this ruined town.

A few years ago, he and Vaughn's army brought the Lord's "gratitude and teaching" to this land.

The gun and the cross are about to be destroyed.

At this time, he stood in front of his adobe chapel, looked at the raging wind pillar, closed his eyes and prayed.

The storm soon devoured him and his church, tore everything apart, and threw the fragments high into the air, flying around the center of the wind pillar, continuing to move forward as the wind pillar and the clouds.

In addition, Chen Jianqiu also saw that those who "spiral ascend to heaven" because they did not have time to hide include, but are not limited to: cows, horses, wooden fences, buckets, etc.

The tornado is like a juicer, sucking everything you touch into the air and stirring it together, leaving behind a piece of ruins.

It seems that this town is about to be destroyed.

Chen Jianqiu was a little regretful. If his plan was successful, the monster would actually be his place now!

But he thought about it again.

If you smash these broken copper and iron, you can smash them. If you don’t break them, you won’t stand them. Maybe it’s a good thing.

Chen Jianqiu drove the black radish to deflect, gradually moving away from the tornado, heading towards the stone fortress.

What he cares more about now is actually the situation on that side.

Two days ago, in the stone fortress, on the stone wall.

A big-eared soldier in a uniform watched Vaughan leave with the large army looking for oil, and smiled.

According to Vaughn's previous ranking, he was not his. He was just a veteran with a slightly higher status than other soldiers.

However, last night, Vaughn called him to his barracks before leaving, and gave him the command of dozens of people who were left behind.

"Remember, after we leave, we should do it as soon as possible, preferably at night!" Vaughan finally reminded him, and he threw his pocket watch to Big Ears, "Do it well, if you do a good job this time, you will be

The next garrison officer.”

Thinking of this, Big Ears was immediately filled with confidence and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

Is it a murder? When isn’t it a kill? There are only a dozen people in that group, including two women.

So he turned around and prepared to make arrangements.

However, he only saw a soldier who was the best relationship with him standing behind him. In addition, there was no one running on the city wall.

"Where are those Indians?" Big Ear had no choice but to ask the soldier, "Where are the people on the city wall just now? Where have they all gone?"

The soldier pointed behind him and inside the stone wall: "Here, here is it."

Big Ears quickly ran to the other side of the stone wall and looked in the direction the soldiers pointed.

In the camp inside the stone wall, in front of the house where the Indians lived, there was an extra large table made of three small tables.

A group of people surrounded the table three layers inside and three layers outside, including those Indian soldiers and their colleagues,

They all stretched their necks and stared at the table inside, and there was nothing else to divide each other.

In the west, there are only two activities that can attract so many people to one place to watch at the same time.

One is duel, the other is a gambling game.

And what is being carried out now is obviously the second one.

There were several people sitting around the table, including Holmes's followers and their own soldiers.

At this time, it was a black man's turn to be a banker. He was holding a stack of poker in his hand and was dealing cards to everyone.

"Everyone, everyone, listen to me. If you lose all, please leave yourself." The black man said to the participants of the betting game sitting at the table while washing the cards in his hand.

Big Ears were a little annoyed. Vaughan had just left, and these people were like letting gossip, not taking himself as a temporary commander seriously at all.

He hurriedly climbed down from the city wall and ran towards the crowd.

Big ears came to the crowd watching. At this time, there were already three layers inside and three layers outside, and they couldn't squeeze in.

He grabbed the soldier from the outside who was looking inside with his feet:

"Why don't you go on duty? Where are you guns?"

The soldier looked back at Big Ears and said angrily: "I've thrown it into the house. The boss has gone out. Why are you doing this?"

After saying that, he continued to turn his head and stop paying attention to his ears.

The big ears were so angry that the eggs were so painful that he used brute force and began to squeeze into the crowd.

He had to stop this undisciplined behavior as soon as possible.

After sacking his power, he finally squeezed into the inner circle.

Big Ears tidied up his uniform and was about to speak when the crowd around him suddenly became boiling like a pot of boiling again.

It seems that the last round of hand has already come to an end.

Big ears looked up and saw the black man holding his head, looking at the two A's in front of him, and a soldier opposite him was holding a large sum of money in his arms, with a smile on his face.

His trump card is not big, but combined with the card, he is three J gourds, which wins the black man to the sky.

Sean stood up reluctantly, suddenly saw the big ears behind him, and handed the poker in his hand to his hand.

"You come and be a dealer, I'll lose." He said to Big Ears.

Big Ears wanted to refuse, but the deck of cards had been stuffed into his hands.

The black man walked out with a sad face and separated the crowd.

The soldiers around were a little angry. Many of them had been waiting for a while, but the temporary camp commander came on the field as soon as he arrived.

It's really unreasonable.

Big ears were a little unhappy when they saw their eyes.

If you don't let me play, I will play, even if it's just a game.

So he sat down, took out the money from his top pocket, put it on the table, looked around, and began to deal cards.

However, the more the cards went, the more he felt something was wrong.

There were actually three flushes in the billboard. Although they were separated, they seemed to be.

He quickly flipped out his trump card.

It's indeed a flush!

This hand made him win a lot of money, and everyone around him suddenly became even more excited. Such exciting scenes are not often seen.

The big man and beautiful girl in red at the table were about to leave.

"You are so lucky that you can't play," said the big man.

Big Earls hugged the money on the table and widened his eyes: "Stop it all! Come on, keep playing, whoever runs is the dog!"

The two had to sit back again.

The gambling continues, and more and more people are watching around.

Big Ear's luck is not as good as ever, but due to his extraordinary luck in the previous few games, the capital is quite high.

In addition, he wanted to win if he won, and wanted to win if he lost, so he stayed at the gambling table.

His opponents changed one after another, and gradually, the men under Holmes were all out, and the soldiers from the barracks were all added.

This soon became a bet for the left-behind soldiers of the Stone Fortress.

It was soon dark, but the gamblers and the onlookers had no intention of ending. He had a big ear to bring a kerosene lamp, lit a torch, and fought at night with his headlights, which was very intention to fight until dawn.

As for supper? What is that? Is it important to have this thing?

The night gradually became deeper, and the torches were ignited one after another, and the card table changed from one table to two tables. The cowboy under Holmes gave them a few decks of playing cards intimately, which made them finally here.

Where birds do not shit, I feel the warmth of the civilized world again.

Just as his big ears blushed and he was shouting at an opponent whether to increase his position.
