Chapter 237 A bet! The game between man and man, the game between man and nature?
Su Yi was noncommittal and glanced at an old pair of playing cards on the cabinet.
"How about we make a bet."
"Young man, you are really interesting. I told you that you were going to die, but you were not surprised at all and even trusted me."
"Don't ordinary people regard me as a strange person for a long time?" Jian Shou'an's expression was filled with confusion and interest.
"But you still want to follow my words."
"I'm just gambling." Su Yi smiled slightly.
"Ok?"
Su Yi smiled slightly: "According to what you said, the gambling started the moment I entered this town, didn't it?"
"And the bet is my life."
"Okay, okay." Jian Shouan also showed a smile, "It turns out that trusting me is also a big gamble. I haven't seen such an interesting young man for a long time."
"So what are you betting on?"
Su Yi's smile never faded: "If I win, just give me some advice so that I, a foreigner, can have a chance to survive in your so-called despair."
"Then what if we lose?" Jian Shouan said calmly.
"If I lose, I will leave and promise never to come to your place again." Su Yi continued.
"Boy, I don't approve of your bet." Jian Shou'an shook his head.
"You have a beautiful idea, but this bet is not equivalent at all."
"Then tell me." Su Yi spread his hands.
"If you lose, you will stay in Wuliuzhuang for the next few days and never go out again."
"Okay." Su Yi said calmly, naturally he didn't care.
I have unparalleled control, but I still have a bet that I can't win? If Jian Shou'an is the only foreigner who survived.
Then the information about how he survived is extremely critical to Su Yi. Even if he uses Yu Wushuang once, it is worth it.
Don't miss out!
But before that, of course, you have to try your trickery first to see if it works.
After possessing the Qianmen Ring, Su Yi actually practiced with poker when he had nothing to do. Although the practice did not last long, he had a strong learning ability and good memory. Coupled with the blessing of the Thousand Gate Rings, he had already achieved a certain level of success. Effectiveness.
Jian Shouan smiled and walked over and took the poker.
"playing what?"
"As you wish, Painter Jian."
"Then it's simple. Each person draws five cards and compares them one by one. Whoever wins more rounds will win." Jian Shouan didn't care.
"I won't bully you. I've been playing with this card for a long time, and I remember the folded, horizontal, and missing edges quite clearly. You can shuffle the cards."
"Okay." It's been delivered to you, right? Su Yi smiled.
Su Yi took the old card and found that it had many corners and missing edges.
Su Yi turned the cards face up and spread them out on the table, "Are there any missing cards?"
"Maybe there are a few missing cards, it doesn't matter. Except for the double kings, A is the largest and 2 is the smallest. That's okay."
"Of course." Su Yi had already memorized the order of the cards during the deliberate questioning process.
Su Yi pretended to be a little clumsy and started shuffling the cards.
"Cut it?"
Jian Shouan gently took down a pile.
Su Yi covered the cards.
"One, two, three, four, five."
He dealt himself five cards quickly in order and held them gently with one hand.
Immediately, he displayed the cards and signaled Jian Shouan to draw.
Jian Shouan didn't touch it with his hands, his eyes told Su Yi that he was carefully choosing.
One, two, three...
Jian Shouan's cards have also been selected.
Next is the size comparison stage.
Is Tian Ji racing a horse, or should he do it directly?
Jian Shouan looked at the cards in his hand and smiled.
Su Yi clearly knew why he was laughing, because the cards he picked were 3 kings and two queens, which meant that he thought he was sure to win.
Jian Shouan looked up at Su Yi, who had a normal expression and shook his head.
He spread out the five cards randomly, "You can place them wherever you want."
This game was inherently unfair, so he didn't deliberately pick the cards with his hands to look for Aces. Instead, he randomly picked up a few bright cards.
"You are very confident." Su Yi smiled.
"This game is inherently unfair, so it doesn't matter how lucky you are. Do you understand?" Jian Shouan sighed softly.
"So how did you win this unfair game with luck?" Su Yi knew that Jian Shouan was not just talking about the current game, but also referring to the incident in Wuliu Village.
"I'm just a special case. I can't even say I can win. I'm just hanging on." Jian Shou'an laughed at himself, "But if you want to win, it's absolutely impossible."
Jian Shouan said, without waiting for Su Yi to place the cards, he spread out his cards one by one.
K, K, K, Q, Q!
"Young man, God will not help you."
Jian Shou'an had a mocking look on his face. He didn't know whether he was mocking Su Yi or himself.
"Whether God helps me or not, I don't care." Su Yi shook his head gently.
"But if you can't even help yourself, then there's no victory."
Snapped!
Su Yi raised the covered card, slapped it on the table, and then pushed it gently with his hand.
The cards were instantly displayed in front of Jian Shouan.
A, A, A, A, K!
Four aces! Add a K!
Jian Shouan was stunned when he saw the five cards in front of him.
A must-win game...
It turned out to be 4 aces and kings.
Jian Shouan was speechless when faced with the current situation.
"Just like this gambling game, it is all man-made. It is a game between people, not a confrontation between man and nature!" Su Yi said lightly. Jian Shouan knew that the position of the cards in this game was man-made, and Su Yi Cheating in chess is also man-made.
Then this game from beginning to end is a game between people, without complaining against God!
"Isn't it human and heaven? Ha...that's because you don't know..."
Jian Shouan said softly with his eyes blank.
He's out of luck!
Jian Shou'an knew that Su Yi's so-called help for him was to use some tricks that he couldn't understand. He obviously didn't expect Su Yi to understand this.
He was silent for a long time and finally spoke, willing to admit defeat.
"Perhaps you are right. I no longer believe that everything depends on human effort, nor do I believe that man can defeat nature. Then try to prove it to me."
"The advice I give you... remember, there are only two points. First, do not go out at night for these five days and abide by the town rules. Second, have a good relationship with the witch."
"Please come back, that's all."
"Last question, are there any citizens in this town? Why don't they come out?"
"Yes, it's just because it's the rules during the Wuliu Great Ceremony. You foreigners have the town rules of the outsiders, and the townspeople have the town rules of the townspeople."
"Thank you."
Su Yi thanked him and didn't dwell too much on it, but carefully considered the two points he said.
Needless to say, abiding by town rules, but what about building a good relationship with a miko?
As for the miko..., is it the young woman Ayuki? Or is it that sister Aiyue has inherited it?
You mean Aiyue?
Thinking of the golden willow leaves on Aiyue's head, Su Yi thought it was possible.
"Excuse me, painter."
Su Yi didn't wait for Jian Shouan to rush him, and walked straight to the door.
"Oh, by the way, painter, if this painting can be finished, remember to give me a look." After saying this, Su Yi waved his hand and walked forward without any nostalgia.
"That depends on whether you can survive until then." Jian Shouan looked at Su Yi's back and gave his final advice.
"Don't be too curious."
After Su Yi left, Jian Shouan quickly supported the table wall and spit out a mouthful of blood. His face seemed to be several years older. He gently untied his hair, and suddenly his white hair fell like a waterfall, draped over him. above the shoulders.
He held the painting in his hand and walked into a room tremblingly...
