《扣牌局中的「OH」王牌與意猶未盡的清醒》

2023年4月24日：

跟兩個男人一起打牌。牌是扣著放的，自己能看到，到時候大家一起翻牌。

這一圈兒我手裡拿到了一幅好牌，有五六張A，還有Q、J、小怪、10等。其中有一張特殊的牌，上面赫然寫著「OH」。我便問兩個牌友，這是什麼牌？他們回答說，這是介於大怪和小怪之間的大牌。

我聽後把那張牌拍在桌上，說：「出牌吧。」

他倆看了一眼，都不出了，搖搖頭說：「你這已經是明牌了。」說完，我就醒了過來。

【作者注】

現實中我根本不會玩牌，在夢裡也全然不知道玩的是什麼牌。但是手裡抓到那麼多好牌，確實挺令人高興的。醒來後心裡似乎有點兒後悔，沒能在那個美夢裡多呆一會兒。

小時候我跟哥哥們和鄰居小夥伴兒們打過「爭上游」、「24點」、「拱豬」還有「打升級」。那時「35分」是三個人打，「40分」或「80分」是四個人打的，有一副牌和多副牌一起打的打法。當時我特佩服我五哥，什麼牌已經出過了，誰手裡還有啥牌，他都能全部記住或算出來。

The "OH" Trump Card in a Hidden Game and an Unfinished Awakening

I was playing cards with two men. The cards were dealt face down, visible only to oneself, to be revealed simultaneously at the end.

In this particular round, I drew an exceptionally strong hand containing five or six Aces, a Queen, a Jack, a Low Joker, a 10, and others. Among them was a peculiar card marked with the letters "OH." I questioned my two opponents, asking what kind of card it was. They replied that it was a powerful card, ranking between the High Joker and the Low Joker.

I laid the card flat upon the table and said, "Your turn to play."

Both of them refused to play, stating, "Your hand is already an open game." With that, I woke up.

[Author's Note]

In reality, I do not know how to play cards, nor did I comprehend what game was being played in the dream. However, holding such a formidable hand was genuinely exhilarating. Upon awakening, I felt a lingering regret that I had not remained within that dream a while longer.

During my childhood, I used to play card games like "Zheng Shang You," "24 Points," "Gong Zhu," and "Sheng Ji" with my older brothers and neighborhood playmates. "35 Points" was played by three people, while "40 Points" or "80 Points" required four players, sometimes using a single deck and other times combining multiple decks. Back then, I deeply admired my fifth older brother; he could memorize or calculate exactly which cards had already been played and what remained in everyone's hands.
