Chapter 13 Gambling Prosperity

"Wu." In the cabin of Zhou Zining and others, Yan Guang pushed down the card in front of him, and then reached out to Chen Yuguo. "Give money."

I don’t know if my luck has improved after traveling through time. He played mahjong so hard that he won the most money when playing Zhou Zining and the others. Although he only spent a small amount of money because he was just killing time, Yan Guang still beat Zhou Zining and the others for more than 30 yuan.

"Strange, I was obviously very lucky when I was playing..." Chen Yuguo took out a cent of silver coins with a look of frustration and threw them to Yan Guang. He originally planned to win a little from the rich man Yan Guang, but he didn't expect that in just a few days, he lost all the military pay of three people for more than a month to Yan Guang.

"Thank you." Unlike Chen Yuguo's frowning face, Yan Guang took the silver coins with a smile. Although there was not a lot of silver horns, it was still very fulfilling for Yan Guang, who had always only lost money.

"See if you dare to play in the future." Looking at the expression on Chen Yuguo's face, Zhao Wending smiled.

I don’t know why, but those who lost money these days were Zhou Zining and Chen Yuguo, two mahjong enthusiasts. Zhao Wending, a person who doesn’t like mahjong, not only did not lose money, but instead won a little.

Not much, one silver dollar plus seven silver horns, but it was several quarters higher than the two unlucky guys Zhou Zining and Chen Yuguo.

"Forget it, I won't play anymore..." Chen Yuguo pushed open the table. "Let's talk about the remaining money when I arrived in Wuhan. The road ahead is still long." As he said that, he pushed open the door and sucked the air outside deeply.

Just three hours ago, the passenger ship had left Huanggang City, and it was no longer far from Wuhan.

"Ah, since that's the case, I'll go back and clean up first. We'll continue when we get to the ship in Hankou." He also stood up.

After Yan Guang left the cabin, Zhou Zining, who had never spoken, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Huh, that guy finally left. Hello, diploma, how much money is left on us?" But he lost to him these days, fearing that he would lose all the money he had to buy a boat ticket in Hankou.

"Don't worry." Zhao Wenning of course knew what Zhou Zining asked. "Although you two lost more than 30 yuan, the remaining money is enough for you to lose for a while on the road in addition to buying a boat ticket."

"Oh..." Zhou Zining sighed with his forehead covering his head. "I originally planned to make some money from that kid, but I didn't expect that we would pay the old capital in, and then from Hankou to Chongqing, hoping to win a little back."

"The possibility is not very high, but it doesn't matter. Isn't it enough to ask for some with my uncle when you go back?"

"My dad? Forget it, if he knew that I was gambling with people on the boat, he would definitely kill me..." Zhou Zining shivered when he thought of his father.

"So too. If the old guy in our family knew that I was gambling with people and lost so much, he would have beaten me to death with his own hands..." Chen Yuguo also interrupted.

"We can't blame others for this. Who told you that you are so bad luck?" Zhao Wending didn't care much. After all, Zhou Zining and Chen Yuguo were not him who lost the money this time. Moreover, these two people are the same as him. Although they cannot be considered rich families, at least their family background is still relatively wealthy. Otherwise, they would not be able to send them to a Japanese military academy to study.

"Hey, do you think if I told the old guy in my family that the money was lost, would he believe it?" Chen Yuguo, who was frustrated, suddenly seemed to have been given stimulant.

"What do you think?" Zhou Zining glanced at him.

"Yes, I definitely won't believe it..." Chen Yuguo fell down again.

"It seems like I'm going to live a hard life next..."

More than half an hour later, the ship arrived in Hankou. Although Hankou was not as prosperous as Shanghai at this time, it was second to none in China. And compared with the mixed style of foreign style in Shanghai, Hankou was more Chinese.

"Is this Hankou?" Yan Guang looked at the other side of the shore. "Then this is Wuchang, right?"

Looking at this noisy and peaceful city, Yan Guang could not connect him with the Xinhai Revolution that swept across China three years later.

"Wuchang Uprising..." Yan Guang held the railing and looked at Wuchang on the other side of the ship. "Three years later, on October 10, 1911, the Wuchang Uprising here will be the beginning of the Xinhai Revolution."

"It's a pity that I might have planned an uprising in Sichuan at that time, otherwise I would really want to witness this moment with my own eyes..."

"but…"

"What happened on October 10, 1908 made all Chinese people remember the Wuchang Uprising, and I, in thirty years, will let the whole world know my name..."

At this time, the passenger ship had just stopped at the dock in Hankou.

――――――――――

After getting off the boat, Yan Guang met Zhou Zining and the other two. The four of them went to the ticket office to ask if there was a ship to Chongqing. The result was pretty good. Now a ship to Chongqing was docked in Hankou, but the ship would not set off until tomorrow. If you want to board the boat, you can only wait until you come the next day.

Although you can't set out on the same day, it's a good result to be able to board the ship the next day.

Since the four of them planned to continue playing mahjong together on the road, they booked a boat ticket for the four-person room. After booking the boat ticket, the four left the ticket office and booked a room in a hotel next to the port. They were ready to stay here for one night and left when the boat sets off the next day.

Of course, that night, the four of them gathered together and rubbed them for more than ten times. I don’t know if Zhou Zining and Chen Yuguo’s luck improved. Not only did Zhao Wenbin’s silver ball be won away, even Yan Guang lost five or six silver dollars in one night.

This battle brought Zhou and Chen back to life, which had been eroded a lot of confidence. They planned to win back all the money they lost on the boat to Chongqing, but also win a lot of money on Yan Guang.

The next morning, the four of them came to the port together. This time the boat was only more than 60 meters long, a river ship with only one layer of cabin, and it looked much old.

"Let's go up."

After handing the ticket to the ticket inspector for inspection, the four people found their cabin on the ship.

Although the four-person room is much smaller than the previous passenger ship, as long as it is convenient for the four people to play mahjong together, there is nothing wrong with this problem.
