When I was twenty-one years old, Master used his four fingers and the last shot of his "career" career to teach me a heavy lesson called "price and consequences".

From that day on, my destiny changed!

My name is Li Yanqiu, from Northeast China.

Since I was a child, I was ignorant and prone to fighting. After graduating from the third grade of junior high school, I entered the society.

When I was sixteen years old, I met my master while working in a chess and card room in the county. His name was Yu Changqin. He was a gambler who made a living by gambling, and he was also a con man.

During these five years of following Master, I have learned a lot and seen the truest side of human nature!

The smoke, illuminated by the dim orange light, looked like the abyss of hell.

Even though I am a smoker all year round, when I first entered this room, I was choked by second-hand smoke all over the room and my throat and nose hurt.

"Changqin, come here."

"Hey, Xiaoqiu is here too." The middle-aged man with short hair greeted my master with surprised eyes.

His name is Jia Jun, and he and my master are old acquaintances. We often play cards together. As for why he is so surprised, the main reason is that my master rarely comes to this place to play.

Although the environment here is poor, the stakes are high. Only during the holidays, when I want to buy some New Year goods for my family and have a good New Year, my master will come here to gamble a few times, win some New Year money, and then leave.

"Hmm." Master hummed in a nasal tone to express his greeting, and then waved to me.

I understood, took out the money from the pocket of my coat, and handed it into Master's hand.

The card game has already begun, and the gamblers are getting excited about playing. There is a thick layer of yellow and blue banknotes scattered on the table. They are the fourth edition of ten yuan, fifty yuan and one hundred yuan.

denomination.

Master walked to sit next to Jia Jun, and I stood behind Master.

Amid the ups and downs of exclamations from the gamblers, that round was started by a man in his thirties who had the most popular middle score at the time and won with a leopard ten.

They play tractor, which is similar to the golden flower, but the tractor has a straight greater than the flush, while the golden flower has a flush greater than the straight.

The minimum amount of ten yuan is not small even today, let alone the 1990s.

My master placed a minimum amount of money, and the dealer began to deal the cards, three to each person.

There is an unwritten rule here that all bets must be made 'three times'.

The so-called "boring" is to continue betting without looking at the cards.

After three rounds, a total of eight people were playing cards, and now there was nearly a thousand dollars on the table.

The price also changed from ten yuan at the beginning to thirty yuan.

The first person to look at the cards was a bearded man. When he looked at the cards, his expression suddenly became positive, as if he was very excited.

However, the expression on his face soon changed suddenly, pretending to be hesitant.

The excited expression on his face only paused for a second and then subsided, but it was still clearly visible to everyone present.

"I'm following Yishou, so let's just mess it up." The bearded man threw sixty in.

After the bearded man looked at the cards, the young man sitting next to him also looked at the cards, but he quickly threw the cards in his hand into the pile with an annoyed look on his face.

"I'm really unlucky today."

When the young man was throwing away his cards, I saw his card, which was a pair of three. I didn't see the single card clearly.

But I'm sure that even if it's a pair of three, it's better than the bearded man's hand.

Tractor is all about mentality, and the poor acting skills of the bearded man can only fool fools like young people. Even I can see it, let alone my master.

My master didn't look at the cards, didn't even take another look at the bearded man, took out thirty yuan and threw it in directly.

At present, my master is still in the state of "boring", so the amount of bets only needs to be half of the player who is looking at the cards. Similarly, the amount of bets by the players who are looking at the cards must also be double that of the players who are "bored".

If my master increases the amount to fifty, then a card-watching player like Beard will need to bet one hundred.

After another round of betting and discarding, the only ones with cards in their hands are Luo Xihu, my master, the man in the middle, and Jia Jun.

"Work hard and leave early." Beard looked like he didn't care. He took out a hundred-dollar bill and threw it in.

My master ignored it and continued to throw in a fifty.

In an era when fifty yuan could buy an average family a day's worth of money, this huge gamble really disturbed people's mentality.

Especially the 'boring' card players feel even more uncomfortable.

After all, Jia Jun couldn't hold back the throbbing in his heart and read the cards.

The moment he looked at the cards, a look of regret appeared on Jia Jun's face, and he put the cards in front of me.

"Xiaoqiu, this is such a bad card, it's really going to kill people!"

I saw that his cards were a pair of nines, and I could only give him a wry smile.

After I looked at the cards, he threw the cards in his hand into the pile.

In fact, Jia Jun's cards were not small. With a pair of nines, he had a relatively high chance of winning, but he didn't dare to bet.

Because both my master and the middle-scoring man are in the state of "boring" cards, his betting multiplier will be doubled if he continues to bet for a few more rounds.

When the cards are compared, one of the two families is stronger than him, and Jia's army will suffer heavy losses.

After another round, the bearded man still looked confident. At this time, my master revealed the card, an ace of hearts. This card was much smaller than the pair between Jia Jun and the young man.

After reading the cards, the master's face remained expressionless and he directly threw in two hundred.

"I'll play your cards."

The master looked at the bearded man.

The bearded man put his cards in front of the master, an ace of grass, the suit was not as big as the master's.

Seeing this, the bearded man sighed and threw the cards directly into the pile.

Now there were only two people left in the scene, the master and the man with the middle score, so the man with the middle score also revealed his cards. However, after looking at the cards, he smiled helplessly and directly showed his cards.

After seeing his cards, I couldn't help but scream in my heart.

235, the smallest card in the entire game, has no chance of winning money at all.

In the first game, Master won a lot of money. I picked up all the money on the table and took a quick look. It was at least 2,000 yuan.

The poker game continues. In terms of tractors and mentality, my master is indeed a master.

He can hold very small cards and act like a leopard card, and he can also use very large cards to act like he is torn back and forth between discarding and not discarding.

Soon, due to my master’s crazy attitude and some bad luck, the pockets in my cotton-padded jacket were filled to the brim.

Compared to my master's high spirits, the others were not happy at all, and their morale was once in a sluggish state.

If this situation continues, even if Master does not cheat today, victory will definitely belong to our side.

"Oh no, I've been too tired today. Go to the toilet and pee all your dirty ideas." The man with the middle part said, stood up and walked out.
