第三十九章 沃尔特的赌局(2 / 2)

周围的的赌徒们立刻唏嘘起来,口哨声和起哄声从赌场里传出,蔓延出好几条街。戴普的脸上挂不住了,若要跟沃尔特赌,那非得拿出他所有的家当不可。过往的小镇居民们纷纷被起哄声吸引,聚集在赌场门口,向里面张望。</p>

“我知道戴普大人赌不起。您家境贫寒,所以,只是跟您开个玩笑而已,您别当真”,沃尔特起身走到戴普的身旁,拍了拍戴普的肩膀。然后作势要离开。</p>

周围的赌徒们纷纷哈哈大笑起来,戴普的表情十分难看。他身为地方法官,保格利没人不认识他。而他又是个十分好面子的人,面对赌场里众人的嘲笑,和赌场外围观的人群,戴普的汗水从头上不住的滑落。</p>

“站住!”,戴普开口了。</p>

“哦?难道您真要和我赌?”,沃尔特嘲讽的说:“算了吧,我是和您说笑的,我知道您赌不起。”</p>

“戴普大人,您别上他的当,他这里面,肯定有猫腻!您可不能和他赌!”,琼斯附在戴普的耳畔说道。</p>

“哼!我今天已经赢了这么多钱,手气好的很!就算是赌,也不一定输!”,戴普装作一副胸有成竹的样子。</p>

“我这次的钱带的不够,不过,我可以给你写个字据,如果我输了,你可以拿着字据,到我家拿钱”,戴普维护着自己的面子,故作轻松的说。</p>

“但是,我习惯用自己的纸笔,来书写文件”,戴普眼珠子转了转:“琼斯,你去趟法院,将写字据的纸笔拿来”。</p>

琼斯知道戴普是让自己去取那种特质的颜料,于是起身便走。</p>

沃尔特抢先一步,拦住了琼斯的去路。“法官大人不必劳烦,我这赌场里,早就备好纸笔了”。</p>

说完,赌场的伙计便将一张空白的纸铺在了桌子上。沃尔特亲自拿起羽毛笔,吸饱了墨,然后将笔递给了戴普:“请吧戴普大人”。</p>

周围的赌徒,和进来看热闹的人们,纷纷起哄着呼喊起来。</p>

戴普没法拒绝了,他颤抖着手接过了笔,迟迟不敢下笔。</p>

“戴普大人,你的手,好像在抖啊!”,沃尔特直截了当的说了出来。</p>

众人哄笑。戴普立刻将笔按于纸上,开始书写字据。汗水从他的脸上啪嗒啪嗒的滴在纸上。末了,沃尔特请戴普按上了手印。</p>

沃尔特命伙计将戴普手写的字据张开,绕着赌桌转了一圈,好让所有人都看到,也为了防止戴普到时候抵赖。</p>

赌局开始了,并且按照约定,只有一场。</p>

戴普望着面前的骰子,心里不住的向上帝祈祷。沃尔特半个屁股坐在椅子上,一只脚抬起来,踩在了另外一张椅子上。</p>

紧接着,沃尔特身前的赌桌下面,突然开了一个葡萄大小的洞,洞口里,露出了藏在赌桌下的一只滴溜溜的眼睛。沃尔特穿着软底的皮靴,将脚,在满是烟头的地面上,轻点了三下。洞口里的那只眼睛看到后,立刻悄悄的将洞口关闭,然后利用桌底的机关,在二人面前的骰盅下,设定好了骰子的点数。</p>

在众人的叫喊声中,骰盅被打开了。戴普身体颤抖着,战战兢兢的望向了自己面前骰子的点数,和沃尔特的点数。他的瞳孔瞬间扩大,然后哐当一声,从椅子上栽倒了下去,晕厥到不省人事。</p>

他输掉了全部。</p>

围观的人们沸腾了,对这次巨额的赌局,展开了纷纷的议论,哄笑声不断。</p>

“一定是你在出老千!”,琼斯叫道:“一定是有人,在桌子下面捣鬼,你休想骗我!”。</p>

说完,琼斯一脚踢翻了赌桌,赌具和筹码纷纷飞到了空中,接连掉落到地上。赌桌下,是空荡荡的水泥地面,什么也没有。琼斯冲过去,在地面上踩了又踩,地上没有任何机关。</p>

一直闹腾到半夜,琼斯只好将晕死过去的戴普拖上马车,送回了法院。</p>

深夜。</p>

沃尔特命人将赌场的大门关闭,然后哈哈大笑着,走到了自己的两大箱金锭前。他飞起一脚,码在一起的金锭,纷纷滚落下来。但奇怪的是,金锭落地时,竟然没有听到任何金属的撞击声。</p>

赌场的伙计们低头一看,哪有什么金锭,地上的全是一块一块金锭形状的木头,而最外围那两层金锭,也只不过是涂上了一层金色的颜料而已。</p>

这时,被琼斯踢烂的赌桌下,出现了一阵小小的晃动。粗大的实木桌腿上,突然打开了一个小小门洞,一个骨瘦如柴的小男孩蜷缩着身体,从粗大的桌腿里钻了出来。他已经挤压着身子,在里面藏匿了一个晚上。</p>

沃尔特从戴普赢到了钱的箱子里,抓起了一大把银币,塞到了男孩的手里:“去吧!拿去吃顿饱饭!记着你答应过的事情,不要把今天的事说出去!”</p>

男孩捧着银币,连忙低头道谢,飞也似的跑出了赌场。</p>

沃尔特将手中,戴普亲笔写的字据张开,反复看了好几遍,哈哈大笑,然后吩咐伙计们:“明天随我到法院拿钱!”</p>

幽静的森林中,阳光透过高高的树冠,将嫩黄的光线,照射在柔绿而潮湿的青苔上。</p>

伊卡娅小心的走在一根裸露出地面的巨大树根上,穿梭在绿幽幽的森林中。她的身体藏在黑色的长袍里,封魔咒的典籍被紧紧的握在她的手中。</p>
