Chapter 246 Applying a Beard
At this moment, Xiao Jie spoke up:
"Okay, Zhao Di, Er Ya, Er Dan, and Gou Dan, you four go first. Xiang Hong, let's go to the convenience store and buy some snacks so we can eat while we watch them play."
"Alright, no problem, let's get started!"
Er Ya readily agreed, and a lively card game was about to begin.
Laughter and cheerful voices echoed from the well, their lively sounds creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere that could be clearly felt even from a distance.
Just then, Xiao Jie and Xiang Hong returned, each carrying a large bag or two, chatting and laughing.
Xiao Jie and Xiang Hong put all the snacks on the stone table, then turned to look at the four people playing cards. They saw that Gou Dan's face was covered in white slips of paper, and Xiao Jie couldn't help but tease him:
"Dog Egg, we just went out to buy some snacks, how did you become such a mess? You're usually so majestic when you're playing around with us! Why are you so pathetic today?"
After saying that, he burst into laughter.
Hearing this, Gou Dan's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but he still stubbornly replied:
"Hmph, that's because I had bad luck today, so I didn't perform at my normal level."
The crowd around burst into laughter, and someone chimed in:
"That's right! You see, when Zhao Di was the dealer, Gou Dan was so focused on letting her win that he kept making mistakes. As a result, whenever Zhao Di was the dealer, she could win without a problem. Come on, let me count... Oh my, Gou Dan, congratulations! You already have eight 'beards'! According to the rules, if you get two more, you'll have to carry someone on your back. But today, you can't carry your wife on your back; you'll have to carry Xiao Bin instead, hahaha!"
It was Er Ya who was speaking. As she spoke, she glanced at the overweight Xiao Bin with a mocking look in her eyes.
These words immediately sparked an even louder burst of laughter from the crowd, who were doubled over with laughter and couldn't stop. Even the usually composed Erdan joined in the joke:
"Hehehe, everyone, let's give it our all and help Gou Dan fulfill this wish!"
And so, everyone present burst into laughter once again, filling the scene with joy and warmth.
Just then, a new round of the game began.
This time, Lady Luck seemed to be particularly kind to Erdan, as he was dealt an amazing hand of cards.
The hand contained a imposing large ghost card, a slightly mischievous small ghost card, four fixed trump cards (sevens), and three fixed trump cards (number two). This impressive lineup instantly brought a radiant smile to Erdan's face. Without a doubt, he chose to call "banker" in this round.
After putting away his trump card, Erdan was overjoyed; his smiling face was practically beaming.
"Hahahaha, Xiao Bin, I think you should go to the toilet first, that way you can lighten your 'burden' a bit! And while you're at it, feed our cute Gou Dan a delicious sausage so it can get some energy. Otherwise, when we start playing later, Gou Dan might be so tired that it can only crawl!"
After saying that, Erdan happily arranged the cards in his hand, laughing so hard that his eyes could hardly be seen. Anyone could tell at a glance that he was holding an absolutely amazing hand.
Before long, Erdan quickly revealed his trump card, and then stretched his waist in a rather flamboyant manner, as if to show everyone his confidence and pride at this moment.
Without hesitation, he played three Kings along with two loose small cards. His aggressive play was like a tiger descending a mountain, and for a moment, no one could suppress his sharp edge.
Immediately afterwards, Erdan made another move, unleashing a long string of cards from number three to the highest-ranking "old flower". This series of plays was as smooth as flowing water, yet no one could withstand his offensive.
At this point, all the remaining cards on the table were high-ranking cards, leaving the other players completely helpless.
In the end, Erdan swept through the competition and ruthlessly added two long beards to each of Erya, Gou Dan, and Zhao Zhaodi.
"Dog Egg, come on, don't rush into battle! Quickly drink some water and eat something to replenish your energy. Look at Xiao Bin, I only asked him to go to the toilet, but this kid not only drank a whole glass of water, but also devoured two fragrant sausages and three juicy peaches! Hehehe... So, you decide for yourself, don't mistreat yourself, hahahahaha..."
Xiao Jie laughed heartily while clutching his stomach, teasingly remarking.
Upon hearing this, the people around burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed and pleasant.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and began to wolf down the various foods they had picked up from the stone table.
Without saying a word, Gou Dan reached out and ripped off the ridiculous fake mustache stuck to his face, then quickly grabbed the food on the stone table and stuffed it into his mouth.
He first took a big bite of a sweet and delicious cake, then gulped down several mouthfuls of water, and finally patted his belly contentedly, gave himself a cheering gesture, and shouted loudly:
"Alright! A bet's a bet, who's afraid of who? Bring it on!"
After saying that, he squatted down, ready to carry the person on his back.
At this moment, the others hurriedly gathered around and worked together to carefully lift Xiao Bin onto Gou Dan's broad and sturdy back.
However, just as Gou Dan stood up, he felt his legs suddenly sink, as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on him, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Hey! Xiao Bin, have you secretly gained weight behind our backs? Your mom's always chasing you around telling you to lose weight, but it seems like you're getting fatter instead! Ugh, it's about to break my back!"
Dog Egg looked miserable and kept complaining.
Looking at the reluctant Gou Dan, Xiao Bin showed no anger. Instead, he raised his hand and gently patted Gou Dan's head, saying with a smile:
"Hey! Stop arguing and let's go!"
Although Gou Dan was a little annoyed after being slapped on the head, he gritted his teeth and moved his feet with difficulty, slowly circling around the well.
