"coming!"
Yao Shichen, brother and sister Yao Chunxue immediately became nervous!
Yao Chunxue rushed to the table and grabbed a ballpoint pen in the pen holder above it!
"You... don't really want to make a mark?" Yao Shichen faintly felt that something was wrong: "People outside should find out, right?"
"On such a dark day, unless he checks the back of every playing card with a flashlight, he won't be able to find it!"
"What if he checked the backs of the cards that were drawn each time?"
"Well... then it can only be regarded as bad luck."
Then, the two brothers and sisters came to the door.
The knocking on the door continued regularly.
Yao Chunxue held the ballpoint pen in his hand and pushed the tip out.
"Deal the cards, please."
Following Yao Shichen's words, the knocking on the door stopped.
Yao Chunxue suddenly felt a little strange. Every year at the Bone Night Festival, when the dealer knocks on the door outside, there is always an answer before the knocking will stop. However, it stands to reason that if you hear someone walking towards the door, you can stop knocking on the door.
This... is very unnatural.
However, even so, it is only a little unnatural. Haruyuki didn't think deeply about this issue either. All she was thinking about now was how to mark the cards.
"I'll come first!"
She knelt down, waited for the card to be inserted, and without looking at it, she just drew a card out!
"you… "
"It's the same anyway..." She then turned the card over, which showed a 7 of hearts. Then, on the back of the card, in the center, she drew a moon and a five-pointed star with a ballpoint pen!
She once had a word with Lingxi in the morning.
Yao Shichen couldn't help covering his face immediately, this IQ... Is she really his sister? Even if you make a mark, you don't have to make it so obvious, do you
With this helpless thought, Yao Shichen had no choice but to draw another card, and this card was also snatched by Haruyuki and marked! Of course, the same is the stars and the moon!
At this time, Yao Shichen was filled with strong unease.
Cheating like this... is it really okay
The ghost card game has been a long-standing tradition on Deadwater Island. There have been some rules that are said to avoid drawing ghost cards, but I have never heard of it. Cheating is used to avoid drawing ghost cards. Most people always subconsciously think that this is a foul. Doing this... If it's a foul...
He immediately grabbed Haruyuki's hand, and said in a low voice, "It's better...forget it?"
"It's all done..."
"But... I always feel inappropriate in this way, why don't I look for the playing cards at home, I remember there are playing cards with the same back at home..."
"No... I absolutely can't let Lingxi draw a wild card!"
Then, she put the cards back. Then, the playing cards were slowly pulled back through the crack of the door.
And then... everything was quiet again.
"Hoo..."
Yao Chunxue lay on the wall, took a deep breath, and said, "It seems that there is no problem."
"Shaxue actually asked you to do such a dangerous thing? Are you too crazy?" Yao Shichen was still full of uneasiness about his sister's behavior: "Cheating in the ghost card game, will it be a blasphemy against the Moon Shadow God?"
"Forget it... For me, Lingxi is more important than Moon Shadow God!"
"You... you dare to say that?"
"It's so annoying!" Haruyuki shook his head desperately: "I don't care! When the Moon Shadow Festival comes, I will definitely see Lingxi graduate successfully and become an excellent Qi trainer!"
Haruyuki's expression was very solemn, without the slightest hesitation at all.
"You can't stay in a female university..." In the end, Yao Shichen could only say this sentence...
About five minutes later, another family was visited by the "dealer".
This is a family of six people.
The more people there are, the greater the probability of drawing a joker card. Sometimes, there are indeed some people like Yao Shaxue who don't live at home at night and go to other people's homes to spread the risk.
These six people are a couple and their four children. On Backwater Island, there were not many only children, and Xu Yun and Lingxi were relatively rare.
"Father and mother are finished smoking, then... I will smoke next."
The eldest brother among the four siblings squatted down and began to draw cards.
"Brother, come on, don't draw a ghost card!"
"Brother, come on!"
The eldest brother Zhuo Nanfeng stretched out his hand, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he drew out a card.
"Huh... it's not a joke card."
"Great, let me smoke instead!"
"Should I come?"
"What is there to grab for such a thing?"
Then... following the drawing of cards one after another, in the end, there was only the last person left, the youngest girl in the family, Zhuo Nanyue.
"Little sister, it's your turn."
Zhuo Nanyue walked to the front of the ghost cards, but didn't know how to draw them.
"I… "
But her body trembled violently, and for some reason, she just couldn't reach out.
"Don't be so nervous, right?" Eldest brother Zhuo Nanfeng comforted him, "It's just a drawing of cards, even if you really draw a fake card..."
"I heard..." Zhuo Nanyue tremblingly pointed at the door in front of her: "The 'dealer' is not from the island office, but a 'ghost'..."
"Ah? How is it possible? It's just nonsense."
"No, I know a friend who was an intern at the island office. She secretly revealed to me that the island office has not sent anyone to participate in the ghost card game!"
"what?"
"What did you say?"
At this moment, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely strange.
"Impossible?" Zhuo's father shook his head and said, "Hey, the dealer outside, why don't you say something?"
Indeed... "Dealer" is not a human being, it is a saying that has been circulated for a long time. Because the dealer never speaks, and his whereabouts are very strange. You know, the game of poker never forbids the dealer to speak, yet the dealer never says anything under any circumstances.
Outside the door, there was no sound.
For more than ten years, the game of ghost cards has continued until now, and no "dealer" has answered any words. Therefore, the saying that the ghost game is a supernatural game has actually spread like wildfire.
"I... What if I get a joke card..."
However, having said that, it is impossible not to smoke. The joke card game is a must, and all the rules are said by those elite qi trainers through communication with Moon Shadow God. Once the rules established by the Moon Shadow God are violated, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Dad, Mom... You should also feel that there is something wrong? After so many years, the game of ghost cards has always... always been..."
"No." Father Zhuo shook his head, but his heart was still uneasy.
Although in his decades of life experience, he spent every year of the joke card game safely, it was also because the Zhuo family had never drawn a joke card. However, with the increase in the number of people in the family, year after year, maybe one day, someone in their family will draw a wild card!
"But... But, no one has ever had an accident playing a game of ghost cards?"
"Really... nothing happened?" Zhuo Nanyue suddenly said a word: "Actually... I went to see the priest a few days ago!"
Priest
This surprised everyone in the Zhuo family!
What is a priest
On the backwater island, those who can cultivate to the point where they can communicate with the Moon Shadow God are called "Qi Trainers". And a qi trainer who reaches the peak of cultivation can become a priest, which is equivalent to being the spokesperson of Moon Shadow God in the world! The status is equivalent to that of the pope! Priests are the highest and most dominant people on Deadwater Island!
Because of this, in the history of Deadwater Island, there can only be one priest in the same period! And the priests have been stationed in the Moon Shadow Temple next to the Forbidden Mountain for many years!
"Have you gone to Forbidden Mountain?"
"Nanyue, you..." Zhuo's mother quickly grabbed her daughter's hand: "You are not even a Qi trainer, how can you go around the Forbidden Mountain?"
"I, I'm very worried... So, I want to ask about the bone night festival..."
"Priest... But, what did the priest tell you?"
Everyone in the Zhuo family became nervous.
And outside the door...the "dealer" is still waiting...waiting, the moment when they draw the cards!
