Marrow.

The target of this mission is addicted to this kind of stimulation.

His name is Gu Tianhu.

Tianhu Tianhu, this name was given to him by his mother two months after she finished her confinement. She suddenly remembered that her son didn't have a name at the card table. In order to be auspicious, she gave him this name casually.

Although it was casual, Gu Tianhu felt that his name was very good and auspicious when he grew up.

He, Gu Tianhu, was born to make a living by gambling.

Gu Tianhu's parents are gamblers. His father likes to play poker. He is good at playing poker, blackjack, landlords, and poker, but he always loses money. His mother is a mahjong fan. It is said that she has been playing mahjong since she was six years old. She is very proficient, but she always complains about her bad luck when she loses money. She thinks that she is not lucky in gambling.

The couple met because of gambling and got married because of gambling. Every month, their wages are consumed in gambling. This situation has not changed since Gu Tianhu was born. If there was no grandmother at home, who was very strict with the couple, although she could not stop them from going out to gamble, she could finally leave a little living expenses every month to support the whole family. She also strictly stated that the couple was not allowed to go to the casino or play in the chess and card room with large amounts of money, otherwise the couple would have been addicted to something long ago.

Gu Tianhu grew up in such a family atmosphere. In fact, many of the neighbors nearby like to gamble, dreaming of getting rich overnight and enjoying the feeling of getting something for nothing.

So Gu Tianhu felt that gambling was the only way out in life. He liked wealth without spending effort and liked to lie down and enjoy life without effort.

And gambling gave him the opportunity, and becoming a gambling king became a dream he had never spoken out.

When You Hongyin flipped through his memories to this point, he was almost completely speechless.

Gu Tianhu's academic performance was poor since he was a child. Except for mathematics, which was slightly better, his other homework was a mess. And no one in the family cared about his grades, except that his grandmother would occasionally touch his head and sigh faintly.

Later, he learned that his father's grades were not good when he was young, so he barely finished high school and then went out to work. He had been working as an operator in a factory. Not only was it hard work, but the salary was also low.

Parents just thought that Louis Koo inherited his father's stupidity, so they didn't ask too much of him. They also thought that as long as he was willing to go out to work, he could always support himself, so why worry about the future.

On the contrary, Louis Koo himself was very purposeful in doing things. He really thought that gambling was a means to change his life. When he was about twelve or thirteen years old, he had mastered his parents' poker and mahjong skills, but he was not satisfied and began to train himself purposefully.

Of course, there were no gambling masters around him, but there were movies.

At that time, there were many movies about gambling on TV, and in each movie, after the protagonist became powerful, he gained fame and fortune, and won the heart of a beautiful woman and became a winner in life.

This initial memory was rooted in the memory of the mind, and together with the praise of his parents and the admiration of his friends, it formed Louis Koo's initial dream and completely changed his outlook on life.

Training the flexibility of fingers and training one's instant memory, maybe the methods in the movie are exaggerated for artistic effect, but art is born from life, there is always a little truth in it, and Gu Tianhu, who trained himself randomly, actually got some results, which was also the most important capital for him to really embark on the road of gambling.

Gu Tianhu dropped out of school at the age of sixteen and studied in high school for one year.

He secretly opened a gambling game in school to win money from classmates. This matter was exposed by students who lost their pocket money, and Gu Tianhu was punished with a serious demerit. He was not interested in those courses in the first place, and he felt that the school was unfair. Only he was punished, and those students who participated in gambling were lightly let off because of their identity as "victims".

He simply stopped studying.

What can you do at the age of sixteen?

Gu Tianhu mingled in various chess and card rooms, not to gamble, but to work as an hourly worker. The chess and card room would provide tea, drinks, snacks and other services, and also needed to clean the floor and clean the table, so some hourly workers would be hired at a low price. With low wages and high mobility, it was not difficult for Gu Tianhu to get a job. Even after leaving for half a month, he would go back to help when there was a shortage of people somewhere.

The salary was not much, but Gu Tianhu was very excited. At least he was no longer dependent on his parents, and his own salary would be his gambling capital in the future.

Gu Tianhu was a native of the local area. He was not good at studying, but he had a very good memory. The previous training was effective. So he knew the customers of the chess and card room, and he was very sweet. Occasionally, when he met a customer who won money, he would flatter him and get a tip.

After doing odd jobs like this for more than a year, he had to find a job in a factory at the urging of his grandmother. Like his father, he worked on the assembly line every day, sweating profusely, and then went home to drink a few bottles of beer, and took advantage of his drunkenness to play a few games in the chess and card room, and lost all the money in his pocket. Occasionally, when he won, he would happily hang out with his friends until late at night, go home to take a nap until dawn, and then go to work listlessly.

Gu Tianhu was not willing to live this kind of life.

But before Gu Tianhu could make a change, something happened at home.

Mother Gu was tricked into playing mahjong and lost 500,000 yuan at once. In an era when the total salary of a family was only 4,000 yuan, everyone had to pay it back for ten years without eating or drinking, and without spending a penny. What's more, this was a gambling debt, which was no different from usury. With the interest compounded, it would take twenty years, not to mention ten years, to pay it back.

Mother Gu didn't jump off the building, but Grandma Gu did.

Maybe gamblers understand gamblers, or maybe they felt that it was not Mother Gu's fault, but a trap set by others. Anyway, Father Gu didn't divorce Mother Gu, nor did they quarrel with her. Instead, he waited until Grandma Gu's funeral was just over, sold the old house, paid back most of the money, and then the family of three rented a cheap small house to live in, and began to tighten their belts and work hard to pay off the debt.

Even so, Father Gu and Mother Gu did not stay away from gambling.

The two no longer went to the chess and card room to play cards. The chess and card room had tea fees, and basically the tea fees were shared equally by one table of people. They chose the "wild game" on the roadside or in the alley.

This kind of wild game is usually set up by hobbyists, and the amount of money played is very small. Obviously, Gu Dad and Gu Mom can't give up their old habits, so they can only have fun in wild games.

However, things are unpredictable. One night, when Gu Dad was playing a wild game with others, he quarreled with others and was beaten up.

As a result, he had intracranial hemorrhage and died before surgery.

At that time, there were no cameras at all, and it was a wild game on the roadside. The turnover of personnel was very high. It was impossible to know who did it. In the end, this matter could only be left unresolved.

Chapter 163 Palm Storm (II)

The family was heavily in debt, and two funerals were connected, which had pushed the family to the end.

Generally speaking, in this case, either they were devastated or they survived and worked hard, but obviously, Gu Tianhu and his mother were not the above two types of people.

The insurance compensation obtained from the death of their father paid off their remaining debts, but Gu's mother went completely crazy.

Gu Tianhu's mother simply quit her hard and low-income job and became a professional gambler. In her words, ordinary jobs could not change their situation at all. She had played cards for so many years and nothing had happened, but she was deceived to the big table. She just wanted to meet a few masters at that time. And now, those mahjong masters are her hope for a comeback.

The grandmother who loved him jumped off the building and died, and his closest father died innocently and tragically, finally made Gu Tianhu begin to doubt the essence of the word "gambling" and have the idea of ​​stopping. But his persuasion was worthless in Gu's mother's ears. ▽Thinking▽Tu▽Net▽

If Gu's mother had completely stepped into the road of no return, there might not be anything in the future, but Gu's mother's so-called mahjong masters, because of the destruction of the Gu family, felt a little guilty and really started to take Gu's mother with them.

It is said that nine out of ten gambling scams are rare, and those who really rely on luck to make a living are rare. The so-called masters are just three people setting up a game and eating one person's money.

These so-called masters are all mixed in various chess and card rooms and underground casinos. They work as a team and swallow up other people's money together. The tacit understanding and extremely fast hand speed between them for many years have made them never make mistakes.

Gu Mu turned over a year later, bought back her own home, and began to live a life of infinite glory. Various cosmetics, brand-name clothes and bags, gold and silver jewelry, etc., have completely changed this woman who worked as a cashier in a supermarket for the first half of her life.

And the more Gu Mu learned, the more she taught Gu Tianhu, but those were not gambling skills, but tricks.

The world is lonely. The so-called world has long become the lower nine classes, but the nine classes also have their own rules. Gu Mu learned tricks, but she did not have the smart mind to abide by the rules of the world, and did not understand that there are actually many invisible boundaries in the gambling world. People like them who can only cheat and not even regular tricks can only attack ordinary people, and small fights are the limit. But when Gu Mu chose her target, she was greedy and only focused on money. If she touched the gangsters, how could they lose the money they earned by licking blood on the knife edge at the card table? What if they couldn't catch the evidence of Gu Mu and others cheating? They directly arrested Gu Mu and her "masters" and crippled their hands. In the future, let alone touching cards, I'm afraid they won't even be able to pick up chopsticks.

All this completely beat Gu Mu back to the original form.

However, a woman who has experienced the life and death game in the card field is not so easy to be defeated. For her, lingering on is better than death, not to mention that she still has a son.

After experiencing so many things, Gu Tianhu did not give up gambling. He even felt that all this was just a test for him to learn gambling skills and stand out. As long as he learned the skills, tricks, and cheating skills, plus his own "Tianhu" gambling luck, then a beautiful life will beckon to him.

There are many kinds of gambling in the world, from the earliest casino card room to later football and horse racing, from the lowest-end street slot machines to the most powerful world-renowned casinos with tens of millions of dollars in poker. Almost three-quarters of Gu Tianhu's life experience is related to gambling.

Since Gu Mu's hands were disabled, Gu Tianhu officially started his gambling career.

Compared to his mother's favorite tricks and unskilled tricks, Gu Tianhu preferred gambling at first. Unfortunately, in the first year, he always lost more than he won in various casinos. In the most difficult time, the mother and son lived on instant noodles. Soon, Gu Tianhu gave up his naive ideas and regarded "nine out of ten gambling cheats" as the truth. At the gambling table, he no longer just relied on others to cheat to help him win, but also began to do everything he could.

Quick eyes, quick hands, and quick hearts.

This is a line in a movie. Gu Tianhu has forgotten which movie it is, and he doesn't even know if this sentence is about gambling. But for so many years, he has been training himself in this way. And the unremitting training for many years has also paid off.

Shuffling, reading cards, counting cards, these things have become instincts for Gu Tianhu. Compared with the slot machines, football betting, horse betting, etc., which are all about luck, he still likes poker games the most, because poker is the most exciting and challenging.

He enjoys this excitement.

At the age of 25, Louis Koo became a famous gambler and poker expert in the neighborhood.

However, as time went by, the gambling environment became worse and worse, and official control and inspection became stricter and stricter. Soon, except for some small-scale chess and card rooms, all gambling-related business places were ordered to close down.

At this time, Louis Koo already had a net worth of millions, and he didn't need to go to the chess and card room to play small games. He had good luck in the past two years and lived a very chic life by gambling, going to bars, KTV, etc.
