Chapter 303

After reaching a consensus, everyone began to draw tiles again.

After Ma Lan finished drawing all her tiles, she suddenly flipped over the face-down tiles, tidied up her hand, and was instantly so excited she almost cried out!

Her hand was actually a "heavenly listen"!

A so-called "heavenly listen" means that as soon as the tiles are drawn, one is already waiting for the winning tile!

How good must one's luck be to have such a good hand!

Moreover, the tiles she needed to win were easy to get; she had a pair of seven and eight ten-thousands, so she could win on a six or a nine.

Generally speaking, as long as others don't hold them as a pair or in a sequence, they will definitely discard a one or a nine. That is to say, from now on, as soon as someone discards a nine, she wins!

And such a "heavenly listen" hand, called directly upon drawing, can fetch the highest multiplier!

Thinking of this, she excitedly flipped all her tiles face down and said excitedly: "I'm waiting for a tile!"

He Lian said in surprise: "That's amazing, sister Ma Lan, you got a 'heavenly listen' right from the start?"

"Yes!" Ma Lan said, unable to suppress her smile: "I don't know what's going on, but my luck is especially good today!"

He Lian nodded and said: "It seems today is destined for you to win money."

After speaking, He Lian, who was the dealer, finished tidying her tiles, flipped over four tiles directly, and said: "Concealed Kong!"

Ma Lan said in surprise: "Oh my, sister Lian, you got a concealed Kong right after drawing your tiles, that's impressive!"

He Lian laughed: "You haven't seen my other tiles; they are terrible!"

Ma Lan reminded her: "By the way, sister Lian, if you are waiting for a tile, the concealed Kong must be revealed!"

"That goes without saying!" He Lian nodded and said with a smile: "If I'm waiting for a tile, I'll definitely reveal it for you to see, don't worry!"

Because Ma Lan had already called "waiting for a tile," she could not change her winning condition; she had to discard whatever she drew until she won by self-draw or someone discarded the winning tile.

But she didn't know that at this moment, the tiles He Lian had in her concealed Kong were nines!

And as for the four sixes, Qian Hongyan and Niu Guimin each had two.

Just as Ma Lan was anxiously drawing and discarding tiles, He Lian suddenly said with a smile: "Oh my, I'm waiting for a tile too!"

After saying this, she casually flipped over the four tiles from her concealed Kong.

When Ma Lan saw these four tiles, she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness.

What bad luck!

He Lian had actually concealed a Kong of nines! No wonder she hadn't been able to draw a nine for so long, and no one had discarded one either!

While feeling depressed, Ma Lan couldn't help but think that although the nines were gone, not a single six had been discarded yet, which meant she still had a chance!

She really wanted to send a signal to Qian Hongyan to let her discard a six for her.

However, after thinking carefully, the mahjong they were playing meant winning from three parties on a self-draw or winning from one party on a discard. If she asked Qian Hongyan to discard a six for her to win, Qian Hongyan wouldn't give her money anyway, so wouldn't it be a waste of such a good hand?

So she decided to rely on herself this round, or on someone else discarding the tile, not on Qian Hongyan.

If Qian Hongyan discarded a six herself, then sorry, Qian Hongyan would have to pay her!

When it was Ma Lan's turn to draw again, she felt it was a ten-thousand tile as soon as she touched it. She was instantly excited, but when she lifted it to look, she was extremely disappointed.

It was actually an eight ten-thousand.

Bad luck!

If it had been just a little smaller, letting her draw a six, she would have won by self-draw!

In that case, sixty-four thousand from each person—that would be nearly two million!

However, Ma Lan comforted herself in her heart: the eight is here, can the six be far behind?

So, she casually discarded the eight and said: "Eight ten-thousand!"

"I win!" He Lian pushed her tiles over all at once and said excitedly: "I'm waiting for a five or eight, pure suit, no sets, plus a concealed Kong, that's forty-eight fans in total, forty-eight fans means four hundred and eighty thousand. Sister Ma Lan, sorry about that!"

Ma Lan felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar!

A single discard cost her four hundred and eighty thousand?!

She had spent ages winning over three hundred thousand, and not only was it all returned in this one hand, but she had also lost another hundred thousand or so...

That was over a hundred thousand!

Ma Lan felt extremely miserable, and her entire mental state was a bit broken.

Qian Hongyan on the side hurriedly comforted her: "Oh Ma Lan, how can you win all the time when playing mahjong? You've already won so many rounds, losing one doesn't matter. Win another one and you'll get it back!"

He Lian also said with a smile: "That's right, it's just one hand. We still have several rounds to play today!"

Only then did Ma Lan feel slightly better, but she was still holding back her energy, determined to win back the money she had lost!

Immediately, she used mobile banking to pay He Lian the four hundred and eighty thousand, and the game continued.

However, in the next hand, Ma Lan was even more devastated.

When she flipped them over, what kind of terrible hand was this!

It was missing ones or nines, and it was also missing a suit. She had a hand full of dots and bamboo tiles, and didn't even have a single pair!

To wait for a tile with a hand like this, she would need to draw at least seven or eight tiles...

She was about to have a breakdown!

How is this supposed to be played?!

It was likely that the others would have already won before she had even gathered two sets of tiles!

And the other three at the table all had excited faces, as if their hands were all quite good.

The first to wait for a tile was Qian Hongyan.

Then came He Lian and Niu Guimin.

Watching the three of them waiting for tiles, Ma Lan was anxious and frustrated, fearing a discard on one hand and fearing one of them would win by self-draw on the other.

Seeing that her hand had less and less hope, Ma Lan became even more anxious.

At this moment, she reached out and drew a one-bamboo, feeling that this tile was likely safe, so she threw it out and said: "One-bamboo! You all shouldn't need this tile, right?"

Niu Guimin on the side said excitedly: "Haha, I win! Seven small pairs!"

Qian Hongyan said somewhat embarrassedly: "Oh, I win too! Small Three Dragons..."

He Lian said with a smile at this time: "Oh my, I win too, Thirteen Orphans!"

When Ma Lan looked at the hands of these three, they were all winning on the one-bamboo!

This was a "one discard, three wins" for her!

This was a disaster...

Just from this one hand, Ma Lan lost one hundred and eighty fans, which was one million eight hundred thousand!

Ma Lan felt the world spinning around her.

What was going on? Suddenly losing two hands in a row, losing over two million in two hands—this was too ruthless!

Moreover, Ma Lan didn't have much money now. All her savings added up to just over two million. Calculating it this way, she had at most two or three hundred thousand left...

Ma Lan was beyond tears, but Niu Guimin was already urging: "Sister Ma Lan, let's settle the account first so we can continue to the next hand."

Hearing that she had to settle the account, Ma Lan's expression was very ugly. One hand cost one million eight hundred thousand; how could she bear to pay it!

The other three exchanged glances, and Qian Hongyan came out to persuade her: "Ma Lan, losing two hands doesn't really matter. If you're lucky, you'll win it back in two more hands. If you stop playing now, what you've lost really won't come back!"

As she spoke, she added: "Last time we played together, Guimin also lost two or three million, but in the last hand, she won by self-draw with Four Great Blessings and won two million, and immediately after, she won by self-draw with Great Three Dragons, another two million. She made a huge profit all at once!"
