Chapter 8 Chapter 7 Super Big Winner

But he was obviously still unconvinced in his heart, he muttered: "This is not an ordinary benefit, every bet is guaranteed to win, every bet is guaranteed to win!" This "win every bet" can indeed be regarded as the biggest benefit in the world, and it is hard to imagine any other benefit that is more attractive than it. The chairman was not in a good mood: "The so-called winning in every bet is just a fabricated legend!" Sheng Nianzu shook his head: "That treasure is called the Victory Stone because it has the ability to make people win every gamble—the legend is based on the treasure's ability!"

The chairman snorted and said nothing more. I felt in my heart that although Sheng Nianzu was a bastard, his words made a lot of sense. Since the name of that treasure is "Stone of Victory", it can be seen that it must have a lot to do with striving for victory. Back then, treasure hunters created very attractive legends based on the performance of the treasure, which can also be used to describe the performance of the treasure. pass down. It's just that there is still an unresolvable contradiction, that is, although Gengyao was famous and rich all his life, he seemed to win every battle in the casino and on the battlefield. It can be said that he relied on the function of the victory stone.But in the end, he ended up with a lot of chopping, which can be said to be tragic.At that time, he also had the winning stone in his hand, but how could he lose so badly under the hands of Emperor Yongzheng? If it weren't for his subordinates who were both wise and brave, he would have died.From this point of view, the treasure of the Victory Stone is not really "certain victory", it is not omnipotent, and it is extremely unlucky.

I was thinking, the chairman obviously thought of this too, and Sheng Nianzu still looked very suspicious at this time that he took the treasure by tampering.So the chairman couldn't bear it anymore, and said with a sneer, "The so-called victory stone is a treasure handed down from your family. Say, it’s nothing at all! Even if you give it to me, I don’t want it!” Sheng Nianzu screamed: "Give it to you, you don't want it? It's a treasure that can make people win every gamble. With it, even being an emperor is nothing! You don't want it. It's a lie, and the ghost will I won't believe it!"

I have long felt that although the chairman is angry, there is still room for his words, but Sheng Nianzu is not sensible and insists on making people tell the truth. This is a typical stupid behavior. Sure enough, the chairman was no longer polite, and sneered: "You must win every bet? Being an emperor is nothing? That's a liar! Our family doesn't want to end up with a whole house! You just keep that treasure and use it yourself Bar!" These few words hit Sheng Nianzu's vitals, he opened his mouth wide, his face was livid, and he couldn't speak anymore. The chairman simply couldn't control it: "It's not like seeing you lose your mind and take finding the things inherited from your ancestors as the only goal in life. Who would take such inexplicable things to heart! We are all trying to cure you Crazy, you don't spare manpower and material resources, and do it as a serious thing, you think we are really interested in this kind of decapitation thing? You even suspect that I have done something wrong, you are really a pig brain, not a thing!"

The chairman may have been angry with Sheng Nianzu for a long time, so the more he talked, the more angry he became. Sheng Nianzu is really Shanghainese calling: Candle temper.After scolding the chairman, he lowered his head and said nothing. The chairman couldn't finish it, and added another sentence: "To say you are a pig with a human head is really insulting a pig!" I felt very happy at the side, and couldn't help laughing. The old man smoothed things over: "Okay, what kind of division between our two families is it? It's our own business!" Although the chairman didn't say anything, his expression was quite disapproving, and his mood was understandable.Because in the generation of the old man and the adjutant, it is naturally a friendship of life and death, but in the generation of the chairman and Sheng Nianzu, of course there will be no such feelings. It's all about it, and Sheng Nianzu still has to do a lot of tricks, so he will naturally be impatient.

I laughed for a while, and said: "Since it was many years ago, the thing has already been taken away, I see no possibility of getting it back." Obviously, even if the three of them disagreed with my words, they couldn't refute them.The chairman and his son were silent, but Sheng Nianzu let out a terrible cry, clenched his fists with both hands, and beat his chest hard. I shrugged: "As for this man's neurosis, I think it's much more practical to seek a doctor." The chairman nodded again and again, and the old man sighed: "When Adjutant Sheng was dying, I promised him that I would do my best to help his descendants find that treasure. I can't see him without my face under the nine springs!"

The chairman stomped heavily: "We have tried our best!" The old man shook his head: "I didn't have any clues at first, but now I finally have some clues. I can't just give up like this." Sheng Nianzu hurriedly shouted: "Yes, you can't give up, you can't give up!" I bowed my hands to the old man: "I'm sorry, I can't help, so I'll take my leave." The old man came to me: "There is another discovery, this matter is really not as good as God!" I was already walking towards the door, and when I heard him say that, I turned my head.The old man said: "In order to find out why the treasures will fall, I made many assumptions, one of which is an earthquake - the earthquake can make the treasures placed on the big rocks fall, not only fall, but also Treasures can be moved close to the entrance of the cave due to the violent shock of the soup.”

I admired the old man's hypothesis very much, so I asked casually, "Have you checked the earthquake records?" The old man nodded: "Yes, I've checked—sixty-five years ago, there was a moderate earthquake, equivalent to about magnitude five, which didn't cause too many casualties, but it also collapsed a lot of houses. The vibration is strong enough to cause treasures to fall from the boulder and move to the entrance of the cave." Only then did I know that I inadvertently sighed that people are not as good as heaven, which happened to coincide with the assumption of the old people, so their reaction at that time was so strange.

The old man was very excited about this discovery, he added: "Sixty-five years ago, the time was in line with the results of the assay." Here I must suspend the narrative for a few clarifications. Due to the unexpected development of the matter later, the people and things involved were extremely wide, the main part of which, in any case, it was impossible to explain in detail, and it could only be vague and secretive, "hiding the real thing", so that It's up to everyone to guess.So there are many places that are different from the real facts, which are intentionally distorted.

For example, the "sixty-five years" that appears here is not really sixty-five years, but just an approximate number, so there is no need to go into it. If you take my narrative as a story, there is no need to get to the bottom of it. This situation has appeared many times in the stories I narrated, and there is no need to make a special statement.But in this story, the two biggest gambles that happened later can be called the biggest gamble in human history. The luck of the winner is unimaginable and appalling. It should be the victory stone that is at work, but it is unimaginable. So it's better to be vague.Ambiguous words can also pretend to be mysterious. If it is made clear, ninety-nine out of one hundred people who read the story will think that the narrator is crazy.

Instructions as above. After I heard that, I spread my hands and said, "Even if this assumption is true, it doesn't help the matter at all—after the earthquake, it is impossible to know who reached into the cave and got the treasure." The old man still looked at me with very earnest eyes, hoping that I would make a difference. I smiled wryly: "If you insist on narrowing down the scope, you can narrow down the scope to the person who got the treasure, a gambler. A gambler is more likely to reach in and touch the stone ball than an ordinary person." The old man hasn't responded yet, and Sheng Nianzu has already expressed his dissatisfaction with my words: "What kind of talk is this? Saying it is tantamount to not saying it!" This time I agreed with his criticism, I said: "It can be said that—and my so-called gambler is a general meaning, you should know what it means." Sheng Nianzu was so clear-headed: "In a general sense, everyone is a gambler!" I spread my hands: "Yes, basically everyone in the capital at that time may be the one who took the treasure." After saying this, I have already walked to the door. The old man followed me, he didn't look like he was seeing off the guests, but he seemed to want to approach me and whisper.Out of politeness, I stopped and waited for him. He came all the way to me, thought for a while, and then said: "Assuming that after the earthquake, someone took the treasure, it's not that there are no clues to find." I smiled: "I am willing to learn." The old man took a deep breath: "Leaving aside why the general encountered such a bad situation, we should assume that the treasure known as the 'Victory Stone' does have the ability to make people win every bet." He said all the way, and I shook my head all the way, saying that I couldn't agree with him. Because Nian Gengyao's miserable end was the only known fact in the whole matter, everything else was just legends and speculations.Now he wants to discuss the problem without the only fact. Of course, I cannot accept such a premise. The old man smiled bitterly: "Just listen to me." I said: "Since the premise cannot be established, no matter what you say, it cannot be established." The old man seemed not to have heard my words, and said to himself: "Treasures can make people win every gamble—the 'gambling' here is also a general meaning, which means that no matter what the person who gets the treasures does, It’s always going to be beneficial, and it’s sure to achieve the goal.” Seeing that the old man wanted to continue the discussion, I couldn't bear to turn around and reluctantly responded: "Theoretically, it should be so, otherwise why would the treasure be called the 'Victory Stone'?" Sheng Nianzu also approached at this time, he seemed very excited: "Theoretically speaking, with treasures in hand, anyone who wants to be emperor can succeed!" After he said this, he didn't feel satisfied, and said: "My ancestors said that even the emperor is nothing, maybe you can be a god if you want to." The old man frowned: "Don't interrupt! Hygiene first, what I mean is: since that earthquake, see who has a smooth sailing in the encounter, and this person may be the winner of the treasure." .” After I heard it, I couldn't help laughing out loud—the old man's statement is really unconstrained, like Wen Baoyu's style! I laughed for a long time before I felt that this was disrespectful to the old man, so I stopped laughing and said: "This is not a clue--in the past sixty or seventy years, people who have achieved various successes don't know how many……" Having said that, I forcibly held back my words. What I refrained from saying is: An old man like you is a miracle in the market, and it is really smooth sailing without any disadvantages. The reason why I refrained from speaking was because Sheng Nianzu already had doubts about their father and son. If I said that again, Sheng Nianzu, a bastard, might be serious, and I would turn into sowing discord. The old man seemed to know what I wanted to say, and he pointed to the tip of his nose: "I mean, the big winners in gambling, that's the real big winners—like me, making small ones in shopping malls." Compared with the real big winners, those who pick heads are even worse than ants!" At that time, I didn't understand what the old man said, so my reaction was very natural: "You don't have to be too humble, old man. Like you, you can squeeze into a winner in the world's richest list, and you can say that you are an ant. What kind of gamble is required to produce the big winner you mentioned!" At this time, the old man was very close to me, and the distance between the tips of our noses would not exceed fifty centimeters, so I could clearly see the expression on his face. He showed an expression that seemed to be incomparable to himself, and he hesitated to speak, but he didn't make a sound in the end.Although I can see this situation, I don't know what it is for. At that moment, the old man sighed lightly and said nothing more.I don't want to get entangled with them any longer, so I took the opportunity to say goodbye. When I went out the door, I seemed to hear the chairman and Sheng Nianzu arguing loudly, but I didn't pay attention and went home. As soon as I got home, I immediately told Bai Su what had happened. After I finished speaking, I smiled and said, "Under such circumstances, they still want to find that so-called treasure. They are really dreaming of a spring and autumn dream!" Bai Su didn't answer right away, and I said again: "I really don't understand why they are so superstitious about that treasure. Nian Gengyao has always owned it, but it ended in such a bad way. In this fact, they deceive themselves and others, and treat it as if it doesn't exist! " Bai Su still didn't respond to my words, and after a while, she said: "I think the chairman and his son will definitely come to you again." I spread my hands and smiled: "It's useless to find the gods. The things have been taken away by people for sixty or seventy years. Who can get them back?" Bai Su said: "You didn't understand the meaning of the old man's words carefully." I smiled and asked, "What is the meaning behind his words?" Bai Su took a breath: "What he means is that if the treasure really has the function of winning, the person who got the treasure back then will definitely become a super big winner." I shrugged: "What is the standard for the so-called super big winner?" Bai Su's eyebrows were knotted, and she remained silent for a while. While I was asking Bai Su, I was also thinking about this question: What should be the standard for a super big winner? This question can be concretely changed into, who will be the super winner in this century?Who only wins but never loses in gambling? Of course, in the process of gambling, there must be ups and downs, sometimes losing and sometimes winning, not necessarily winning from the beginning to the end, and getting good cards every time, but as long as he always wins in the end, this is a big winner. Of course, the gambling made by the super big winner must be a generalized gambling, because only then is the real big gambling. Like the gambling between Commander Li and Commander Wang described in the first half of the story, although it can be regarded as a gamble in the gambling behavior, it is insignificant compared with the bet after the gambling behavior is generalized. Generalized gambling behavior, gambling bets will go beyond the scope of money, and enter the highest state of human desire. Everyone's highest level of desire is different. If this person is rich, he will want a lot of money.If this person is lustful, he will want to have many beautiful women.If this person is powerful, he will want to command the world. Therefore, the "victory stone" in the hands of different people will cause different results, and the super winners will also be different. It will not be the same pattern, but will be determined according to the personality of the person who owns the treasure. Without knowing whose hands the treasure fell into, it is impossible to estimate what the super big winner has won, and naturally it is impossible to set a standard for the super big winner. Thinking of this, I naturally shook my head: "There is no standard—because we don't know what the highest desire in the heart of the treasurer is." Bai Su's thought process was obviously the same as mine, so she immediately agreed with my idea. After a while, she added: "The situation is hard to imagine. What I mean is that the person who got the treasure should have obtained the treasure unintentionally. The treasure may not come with an instruction manual, which means that the person who got the treasure has no idea what the treasure is. usefulness, and will not gamble because of it.” I waved my hand: "This problem is not difficult to imagine-even if the person who gets the treasure doesn't know what he is getting, but as long as the person who gets the treasure likes to gamble, this treasure called the Victory Stone will naturally help him become a super hero." A big winner. He may never know why he became a big winner, maybe he thought it was his good luck, and he might even think that he has vision and great talent!" Bai Su let out a "huh", indicating that my idea can be established. However, even if the idea is established, it will not help further exploration of the whole matter. Seeing Bai Su's seriousness, I smiled and said, "We don't have to worry about it any more. Any idea is a castle in the air, because there is no way to explain why Nian Gengyao has the victory stone, but he became a big loser! Hence It can be seen that all the legends about the so-called victory stone are not true." Bai Su also laughed, but her thinking was different from mine, she said: "I can only think this way now, let's see what information the chairman and his son have to provide." I was very surprised: "Why are you sure they still have information to provide?" Bai Su said: "According to your description, but also according to human nature." I bowed to her: "Beg for details." Bai Su smiled: "From your description, we can know that Sheng Nianzu has doubts about the chairman and his son. This suspicion may have been around for a long time. The old man is always at a disadvantage in the mall, so Sheng Nianzu has reason to suspect that the old man has obtained the treasure. Just like you As I said, the friendship between them is not the same as the friendship between the old man and the adjutant Sheng back then, but the old man is still very nostalgic and knows that the treasure is not in his hands, so it is even more necessary to make Sheng Nianzu dispel the idea of ​​doubt Therefore, it is inconvenient for him to say some things when Sheng Nianzu is present, and he will find another opportunity." Bai Su's analysis is very reasonable, I said: "I still have a question in my mind, I might as well ask my lady for advice." Bai Su hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, the officials have offended the little girl." While joking, I raised my question: "Accordingly, there are treasures handed down, and the secrets of Shengnianzu's family were told by the adjutant Shengnianzu before his death. It was just a matter between father and son. How come the chairman and his son also know?" Bai Su thought for a while: "If it's not what Sheng Nianzu said, or Sheng's adjutant said, just ask the chairman and his son, and you can get the answer." I stretched my waist: "I won't take the initiative to find them." Bai Su also lazily said: "If they don't come, the whole matter has nothing to do with us, so we can count on it." Later, I praised Bai Su for his ingenuity, because at noon the next day, the chairman and his son came. The little orderly back then, now the big man in the shopping mall, the old man walked in the door with the support of his son.Bai Su turned her head and glanced at me, and I immediately gave her a look of admiration. When the chairman and his son sat down, Bai Su spoke first. She said, "After he came back yesterday, he already told me everything. It's much easier to talk without that bastard around today." As soon as Bai Su opened his mouth, the words touched the hearts of the chairman and his son. The two heaved a sigh of relief, and the chairman immediately said: "Yes, yes, this person, I really can't do anything with him—" Looking at the situation of the chairman, it seemed that he still wanted to say something bad about Sheng Nianzu, but the old man stopped immediately: "No matter what, you two should be like brothers, and you have to take care of him if he is wrong. " The chairman obviously didn't take his father's lesson seriously, but he still said habitually: "Yes. But father, we have really tried our best, and there is really no need to do anything more for this illusory treasure." The old man looked bitter, stretched out his hand, touched his face a few times, and then sighed: "I don't know that finding treasures is more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack..." Before finishing a sentence, the chairman has already picked it up: "And even if you find it, there is a big problem with whether that thing can make people win every bet. Their ancestors will not end well." The old man waved his hand: "I know all of this! But the adjutant was very kind to me, and he made an exception and told me the secret of only the eldest son in their family. I will always try my best to help him fulfill this wish." .” I think the same conversation has been going on many times between their father and son. Of course, the chairman can't hold back his father, so he has nothing to say at this time. I suddenly remembered the question I asked Bai Su yesterday: How did the chairman and his son know the secret of the Nian family? What the old man said just now has the answer—it was told by the adjutant.But why did Adjutant Sheng tell others this big family secret?It is said that Adjutant Sheng's doing this is against the precepts of the ancestors, and it is a treasonous act! I brought this up and waited for the old man's answer. The old man smiled wryly: "Firstly, it is because Sheng Nianzu was not very smart since he was a child, and the adjutant Sheng knew that he would not be able to achieve his wish at all. Second, after so many years, the ancestral precepts were not so strict, and the adjutant Sheng was telling me this secret. At the time, it was said that both of us, father and son, can enjoy this secret──” When the old man said this, the chairman muttered: "Who cares about his secret!" The old man pretended not to hear, and added: "According to Adjutant Sheng, his father once told someone about his family's secret." When I heard the old man say this, Bai Su and I were very surprised—this can be said to be an accident, because of this fact, all previous assumptions can be overturned, and the whole thing has to be restarted! Impatient, I immediately said: "What's going on, it's said to be a secret, but there are quite a few people who know about it!" The old man laughed dryly: "Yes, even you all know it now, if you go on, it will not be difficult for everyone in the world to know it!" The chairman didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "It's not bad even if the world knows it—let everyone know that there is such a treasure, and those who get it can also know its usefulness, make the best use of it, and do it." A big winner!" The old man glared at him: "How many times have I told you that the person who gets the treasure has already become a big winner!" What he said is the same as the result of my discussion with Bai Su yesterday.But now that new information is available, the situation is naturally different. I waved my hand: "Don't change the subject—who did Adjutant Health's father tell the secret to? This is extremely important, please explain in detail." The chairman was puzzled: "Mr. Wei suspects that the person found the treasure after knowing the secret?" I said, "Why not, it's very possible! Who is this person?" The chairman looked at the old man, and the old man frowned, as if all the wrinkles on his face were concentrated between his brows. The old man shook his head: "I don't know who this person is." I stomped my feet heavily—because it was a very important clue, and if grasped well, it could lead to great development. I said, "Didn't Adjutant Sheng tell you?" The old man shook his head again: "It should be said that the adjutant's father didn't tell him." I couldn't help but smile bitterly—even today, it's impossible to find out what the adjutant is not aware of. Bai Su asked: "How was the situation when Adjutant Sheng told you about this?" The old man looked hesitant, as if he was unwilling to answer.Bai Su strengthened his tone: "This is very important, please recall the situation at that time in detail." The old man thought for a while, and then said: "At that time, Sheng Nianzu was twelve years old, and the adjutant Sheng was already very weak. He knew that his son was not very successful, and he had a close relationship with me, so he sent his son The secret was told to me, when I..." When the old man said this, his eyes looked into the distance, it seemed very empty, of course he was recalling the situation at that time. At that time, Adjutant Sheng grabbed the old man's hand with both hands (Of course the old man was not very old at that time, and he was still called the old man just for the convenience of writing), there was absolutely no doubt about the friendship between Adjutant Health and the old man.When the old man was still a teenager, he escaped from the famine and came to the place where the adjutant was stationed. His father planted a grass on his sleeve—it was a sign that the refugees who fled from the famine could no longer take care of their children and wanted to sell them. Selling a child is of course a tragedy in the world, but if a child with a grass bid cannot be sold, that is the worst tragedy among tragedies. The thin boy at that time was the one who couldn't be sold.The boy's father starved to death three days later, and the boy was dying of hunger on the side of the road. He was about to die, but the adjutant passed by him, and the boy hugged the adjutant just in time with his last strength. calf.
