Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 1220 How could things be so unlucky?

He Liang looked at the pair of Queens in his hand and noticed that one of them was the Queen of Clubs. He then looked at Wang An, Wang Shuai, and Wu Dong, shook his head, and discarded his cards.

At this moment, only 5 people remain at the card table.

Wu Dong had a dragon in his hand, so how could he possibly fold? Thus, Wu Dong also threw a dime into the pile of coins.

Wang Shuai had a pure suit in his hand, so it was even less likely that he would fold. Naturally, Wang Shuai also threw in 1 cents.

The price had reached its peak, and Ma Guoqiang's role was no longer relevant, so when it was Ma Guoqiang's turn to speak, he discarded his cards without hesitation.

At this point, there were four people left at the card table: Wang An, Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and Sun Nian.

When it was Sun Nian's turn again, he stopped playing blindly and picked up his cards to look at them. But Sun Nian really didn't know how to play. He dared to play with a pair of 5s in his hand and threw in 1 cents.

When it was Wang An's turn to speak again, he pretended to pick up the Jack and King, looked at them, hesitated for a long time, but ultimately didn't reveal the third card. He then confidently pointed to the third card and said:

"This one has to be a plum blossom." Then he tossed in a dime.

Immediately afterward, the four players who hadn't folded each threw in 3 cents. Then, Wang An gently kicked Sun Nian under the table, causing Sun Nian to fold his pair of small, broken 5s. He pouted and muttered to himself:
"I should have folded earlier; I wasted 44 cents."

At this moment, Sun Nian had the demeanor of a young girl, looking incredibly beautiful and adorable.

Zhang Shuya picked up the cards Sun Nian had thrown onto the deck, glanced at them, paused for a moment, then burst out laughing and said:

"Xiao Nian, you dare to use so many weapons on a pair of beat-up 5s? Have you lost your mind? Hehehehe."

Hearing Zhang Shuya's words, everyone burst into laughter.

Sun Nian pouted and continued:

"I was thinking of tricking them all into running away, but who knew they were all determined to oppose me and none of them would run away."

Upon hearing this, the laughter from the crowd grew even louder.

He Liang said while laughing:

"I ran away with my pair of Qs a long time ago, but you've managed to hold on with your pair of 5s for so long. You're really stubborn, more stubborn than a donkey, hahaha."

Sun Nian glared at He Liang, then lowered her head and remained silent.

At this point, only Wang An, Wu Dong, and Wang Shuai remained at the gambling table.

Logically speaking, either Wu Dong or Wang Shuai should have folded.

However, whether they didn't understand the code or were certain that the card Wang An hadn't revealed wasn't a club, neither of them folded after Wang An threw in his sixth 10 cents; instead, they chose to continue calling.

And so, the three of them started taking turns throwing money into the account, each contributing one cent.

Only when a five-yuan bill appeared in the pile of money because the three of them had run out of change did Wang An grin as he picked up the last card and examined it from an angle only he could see.

After reading it, Wang An's brow twitched slightly, then he quickly placed the 8 of clubs face down on the coffee table. After a moment's hesitation, he tossed a dollar into the pile of money and then retrieved 9 cents. Wang An's act was truly masterful, a feat worthy of being called the pinnacle of the entertainment industry. Even Wu Dong and Wang Shuai, two seasoned young talents with extensive experience in dealing with people, couldn't tell whether Wang An's hand was clubs or some other suit.

The main point is Wang An's performance. He seemed to be holding a pure suit, clearly invincible, but trying to play dumb to outmaneuver others. He also seemed to be holding mixed suits and making a last-ditch effort, embodying the "deception" aspect of Texas Hold'em to the fullest.

However, after exchanging a glance, the two chose to call their bets again.

As a result, the money on the coffee table quickly exceeded 10 yuan, and was almost 15 yuan.

Although none of these three people are short of money, it's important to understand that the joy of winning money has nothing to do with the amount of money.

Just like the red envelope grabbing phenomenon in later generations, a large group of people will grab a red envelope containing only one cent, but if you see a ten-cent coin on the street, most people won't even glance at it a second time.

Finally, when the three of them had accumulated more than 20 yuan on the coffee table, Wang An smiled and took the initiative to suggest:
"How about the three of us split up? This kind of thing is never going to end."

As he spoke, Wang An turned the last card over and placed it on the coffee table.

When Wu Dong and Wang Shuai saw the 8 of plum blossoms that Wang An had turned over, they were immediately dumbfounded.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Dong slammed the cards in his hand onto the coffee table with a "bang," just like people would when they had a winning hand in poker, and then said with a look of distress and frustration:

"Holy crap, what bad luck! This is a subterranean dragon!"

After Wu Dong finished speaking, Wang Shuai, in a tone that looked down on Wu Dong, said with even more frustration:
"What's so special about your earth dragon? Mine is also Qing'er, I'm K, 9, 7 Qing, Xiao An is K, J, 8 Qing, oh my god, mine is much smaller than yours."

The two men were feeling frustrated, but Wang An stretched out his arms in a hugging motion, grabbing all the money on the coffee table and pulling it to himself. He then laughed loudly, feigning excitement.

"Hahahaha. I haven't won money for three years, but when I do win, I live off it for three years! Hahahaha, you guys don't even need to bet this round, I've covered for you. No, you don't need to bet the next round and the round after that either, I've covered for you three rounds in a row! Hahahaha!"

Wang An's excited expression completely frustrated Wu Dong and Wang Shuai.

The two men weren't upset because they each lost 7 yuan, but because the feeling of losing money was just too damn frustrating. The key point was that although Wang An had the highest hand, it wasn't much better than theirs.

Especially Wang Shuai, who clearly had a King hand, but unfortunately his second card wasn't strong enough. So the feeling of losing a hand that was only slightly weaker than the opponent's was absolutely infuriating.

This time, Wang An not only won back the money he had lost before, but also won more than 10 yuan more. Although Wang An used some tricks, the feeling of winning money was still incredibly satisfying.

The most satisfying thing is to ruin the prankster duo of Wu Dong and Wang Shuai.

Sure enough, after this incident, Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and Ma Guoqiang stopped cooperating with each other and started doing their own thing.

Wang An stopped using tricks and continued playing the game normally with everyone.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was the next day.

After breakfast, the six second-generation kids started arguing. Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian wanted to take air guns to shoot squirrels and sparrows, while Wu Dong and Ma Guoqiang wanted to break the ice and catch fish.

Only He Liang and Wang Shuai are the easiest to please; they'll do anything you ask.
