I am the strongest sheriff on the surface

"Xiao Cheng, this is your own thing, in fact, you really don't need to do this!"

Cheng Xin was touched and said, "I still have some money..."

"Hey, yours and mine are all the same!"

Xiao Cheng smiled freely, and continued to say in order to reassure Cheng Xin:

"Anyway, these things are also sponsored by the Zhang family's friendship. I don't feel at ease with Bailai's windfall. I just use it to save Master. I can kill two birds with one stone!"

Seeing what Cheng Xin was going to say, he hurriedly blocked Cheng Xin's words: "Besides, now is not the time to be entangled in these things.
Let's sum it up, how can we dig out the Luo family's lightning strike wood? These gamblers are quite superstitious. They really think that a piece of wood can keep them safe! "

"Yeah, what do you two share with each other? It's not the same who spends the money. Anyway, it's both of you in the end!"

Sun Fei also helped Xiao Cheng beat the side drum.

Xiao Cheng and Cheng Xin hadn't pierced the window paper, he was more anxious than anyone else, and when he found an opportunity, he matched the two together.

But both of them are single mothers and fetuses, and they are usually okay when they are happy and happy, but if they really want to come to the real thing, they are more cowardly than anyone else.

As soon as Fei finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room was instantly awkward.

Cheng Xin blushed, picked up the sponges scattered on the bed and fiddled with them.

"Fatty Sun, you're the one who talks too much..."

Xiao Cheng was also a little uncomfortable, he stared straight at Fei, he paid attention to how everything should happen, and it was counterproductive for outsiders to always be on the sidelines endlessly.

"Ha ha……"

These two people are thin-skinned enough, if you pull them down, it's considered buddies who talk too much...

Fei laughed, and immediately brought the topic back,

"But what is this Thunderbolt Wood? It is worthy of such a treasure as the King of Gamblers. They didn't even think about such a generous offer from the Zhang family. It's really awesome!"

yes……

Xiao Cheng had only roughly heard that things like lightning strike wood could ward off evil spirits, but he was a little confused when he heard Fei's question, thought about it and turned to look at Cheng Xin.

"Cheng Xin, explain to Fei, what exactly does the lightning strike mean?"

They are all from the martial arts circle, and Cheng Xin has a family background, and has a deep understanding of traditional culture, so she should be able to know some inside stories.

Cheng Xin's face was still a little hot, and when Xiao Cheng asked her, she replied angrily: "Lightning strikes a tree, literally, it means a big tree was struck by lightning, why don't you understand that!"

Then she changed the subject and glared at Fei, "If you want to say why this big tree was struck by lightning, it's because some trees are too fat, and they always meddle in their own business, that's why they were struck by lightning !"

A pun, directly hurt Fei who had talked too much just now.

"Puchi..."

Xiao Cheng couldn't help laughing, Cheng Xin has a temper like a girl, she never suffers overnight loss, she will go back on the spot if she feels upset, she really has character.

"And you, Xiao Cheng, why are you laughing!"

Cheng Xin pinched her waist and fired one by one, "Obviously I don't know anything, but I always use Fei as a shield for you. If anyone has a brother like you, it's really unlucky for eight lifetimes!"

Uh……

Xiao Cheng's smile instantly froze on his face!

There's nothing wrong with me here!
Just now Fei made his own claim, I didn't teach him to say that!

Unjustly dead...

"Puchi..."

This time it was Fei's turn to snicker, Xiao Cheng gave him a gouged look, pulled off his sock and threw it at him.

call……

A gust of wind hit his face, Fei turned his head sideways, and the black socks were directly stuck to the white wall behind him.

"Xiao Cheng, you..."

With lingering fear in his heart, Fei turned his head and pinched his nose, "If Boss Feng of Qinxinzhai had a hidden weapon like you, that boy Liu Xuan would have already been tied up..."

Oops……

This is not which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted!

The old man is still lying on the bed...

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Fei wished to give himself a big mouth, and carefully looked at Cheng Xin. Fortunately, Cheng Xin didn't seem to take Fei's words to heart, and her expression didn't change.

But Cheng Xin's heart was not as calm as it appeared on the surface.

She was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, the matter is already extremely bad, can it get worse?"

After a pause, Cheng Xin lowered his head and smiled faintly, waved his small fists and asked himself: "No, whether it's a good day or not, Comrade Cheng Ran will get better, for sure!"

The matter has come to this point, crying and crying will not change anything, it is better to face it calmly.

Sometimes it's really strange, the more you are afraid of something, the more things will come. On the contrary, if you don't take the difficulties to heart, things will go smoothly.

There is God's will in everything, and who can tell it clearly! ?

Xiao Cheng looked at Cheng Xin who cheered up, and showed an old father's smile, and Fei also nodded secretly, she is really a strong girl.

"Let's say Lightning Strikes Wood!"

Cheng Xin returned to her usual demeanor, came to sit next to Xiao Cheng, glanced at the other sock on his foot, and moved it away a little.

"Actually, what I just said is correct. Simply speaking, this lightning strike wood is a piece of wood that has been struck by lightning, but according to the legend, this thing is very powerful!"

Seeing that Cheng Xin had returned to the topic, Xiao Cheng and Sun Fei immediately sat upright.

There are too many unknowns in Shangao Island this time, and there is no harm in knowing a little more information, which may come in handy at some critical moment.

"Have you heard of Phoenix?"

Cheng Xin continued: "In legend, the lightning strike wood is also called Fengqi wood. In mythology, the phoenix is ​​in charge of the sky fire, and naturally likes to perch on the plane tree. Any tree trunk where the phoenix has stayed will be scorched black by the sky fire moxibustion. This is also about lightning strikes. Another way of saying wood, our country’s national treasure, the antique Jiaoweiqin, is made from a whole piece of Fengqi lightning strike wood.”

As expected of an antique shop owner, Cheng Xin couldn't do without his business, while Xiao Cheng and Sun Fei were confused and confused for a long time.

Whatever it is!

Anyway, this lightning strike wood is very good!

"Oh……"

The two showed expressions of sudden realization in a very tacit understanding at the same time.

"Oh boy, I haven't finished yet!"

Cheng Xin was helpless, these two living treasures were truly amazing, "Whether it is the sky thunder or the divine fire, there are legends that have the name of warding off evil spirits in the world, and the Luo family's lightning strike wood is said to be a thousand years old, so the effect is not to mention.

Auntie, the patriarch, also mentioned before that the Luo family in Odao Island started their business by fishing for a side door, and they paid the most attention to these things.
If someone scrapes the sawdust off the lightning strike wood, it will be tantamount to destroying the appearance of the treasure and ruining the luck of the Luo family.
Presumably this is why they refused to agree to exchange sawdust. "

It's been like this for a long time!

Now Xiao Cheng and Sun Fei understood.

The Luo family is really good at treating a piece of broken wood that was struck by lightning as a treasure.

It's not because I feel guilty because I have done too many bad things, and I just find a spiritual sustenance

I really thought that thing could ward off evil spirits!
In a word, feudal superstition kills people!
Xiao Cheng disapproved in his heart, but on second thought he was a little worried.

Things are in his hands, no matter what they say, if he wants to save Master this time, it will be really troublesome.

A piece of lightning strike wood represents the luck of the whole family, and someone who wants to destroy it is equivalent to digging someone's ancestral grave.

Let alone the Lei family, no one can agree to this matter!

But now is not the time to talk about frustration... Xiao Cheng didn't express his worries. He wrapped the three antiques with the sponge from before, put them back into the box carefully, and then turned his attention to the pile. Jewelry body.

This pile of things was put aside by Cheng Xin before, but those three things were so scary that both Cheng Xin and Fei forgot that there was such a thing.

Seeing Xiao Cheng's eyes now, the two of them remembered.

Yes, there are still a bunch of treasures here!

Although it is definitely not as valuable as those antiques, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Every penny more is more hopeful! ?

Xiao Cheng has already spread out the pile of jewels.

An emerald green bracelet, as green as spring water.

A leaf-shaped gold hollow brooch, even the leaf veins are clearly visible, it can be said that it is vivid and implies autumn.

There are still a few pieces of jade handles of different shapes, with rounded batter and restrained light, which also looks very old.

"I know this thing, emerald, it's worth a lot!"

Fei could be considered to have seized the opportunity, pointing to the bracelet, "This is emerald..."

"Alright, Fei!"

Xiao Cheng waved his hand and interrupted Fei who wanted to show off, "These few things will not be priced!"

The first time he saw the jewelry, Xiao Cheng made up his mind. The previous three antiques were enough as capital. Although the value of these jewelry is high, he really didn't care too much!

"Cheng Xin, this is for you!"

Xiao Cheng picked up the jade bracelet with a smile, and put it on Cheng Xin's left hand before Cheng Xin could react.

"Huh? For me?"

Cheng Xin's left hand sank and she was obviously taken aback, "Xiao Cheng, do you know how much this thing is worth?
Fei was right just now, this bracelet is full of emeralds, in terms of value it is no worse than those antiques! "

She raised her left hand, and the Bicui bracelet was more spring-like under the light, making it easier for people to breathe.

"What money is not money!"

Xiao Cheng chuckled: "I look like such a greedy person!"

"You look like it!"

Both Cheng Xin and Sun Fei spoke in unison, obviously the two had reached a consensus on this matter.

"..."

Xiao Cheng looked up to the sky and was speechless, then coughed and changed the subject:

"Don't raise money with your buddies, the key is that Cheng Xin looks good on you, so hurry up and accept it, or be careful and I'll change my mind and come back!"

After speaking, he reached out to snatch the bracelet back.

"Think beautifully!"

Cheng Xinqiao got up and took a step back, it doesn't matter how much it's worth...

This is the first gift Xiao Cheng gave me!

Raise your arms and look left and right, the more you look, the more you like it!

"Sun Fei, this is for you!"

Xiao Cheng picked up the golden leaf-shaped brooch and handed it to Fei.

You can't lose one person in a circle, and everyone has a share of good things.

Fei was taken aback, give it to me?

This brooch is beautifully shaped, and it looks like it was made by a famous artist. Its value cannot be measured by its own gold weight.

In a word, this thing is also worth a lot of money. Xiao Cheng actually gave it away as soon as he said it, which is too generous!

But he can't just reach out his hand casually, Fei's small eyes blinked and said:

"Why do I want this woman's jewelry? I don't want it. You can give it to Cheng Xin!"

"Take it, you can give it to whoever you want if you don't bring it, and dispose of it as you like!"

Xiao Cheng waved his hands again and again, with a look of indifference.

If you don't bring it, you can give it to your girlfriend Liu Min... Xiao Cheng didn't say this clearly, and this is also his cleverness.

If a man takes a gift of great value, he rolls his name and says he wants to give it to your girlfriend...

No matter how good a brother is, he has to turn his face!
"Is that so..."

Fei also understood what Xiao Cheng meant, and took it over.

Being a brother is so sincere, it would be a bit hypocritical to refuse.

"Then I'll stay, this is a good thing, this time I finally took advantage of your kid!"

"Why doesn't that sound like a compliment to me?"

"you think too much……"

"is that so……"

"..."

Fei also has a gift... Cheng Xin glanced at the brooch in Fei's hand, then happily looked down at the bracelet in her hand.

Still my bracelet!
It seems that I am much more important to Xiao Cheng!

Cheng Xin has a sweet face...

"I said, it's getting late, why don't we go to bed early!"

Fei put away the brooch carefully, "I will find someone to book a plane ticket tomorrow morning, and I have to say hello to the security station at the airport.

Biyi this time we are carrying a box of antiques, we will not be able to pass through the security check if we do not inform in advance. "

Xiao Cheng thinks so too, reselling cultural relics is a serious crime, so don’t cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, “That’s the thing, do you have any acquaintances at the airport security station? Is there your sister there too?!”

"Stop burying me, Cheng Xin, don't listen to Xiao Cheng's nonsense, buddy is a serious person!"

Fei's fat face turned horizontally, and he denied it flatly. His face was so upright that people couldn't help but believe it.

"Hehe, man!"

Cheng Xin didn't like Fei's behavior at all, and laughed mockingly, "Xiao Cheng, I warn you, don't learn from Fei, or you will be better off!"

She raised her small fist in protest, lit the emerald bracelet on Xiao Chengliang's wrist, and then smiled softly: "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much!"

After she finished speaking, she ran out of the door like a frightened deer, leaving behind only the ringing of bells.

Seeing Cheng Xin's cute look, Xiao Cheng was infatuated, what is a bracelet, anything for this smile is worth it!
"Thank you for the gift, I like it very much!"

Suddenly, a strange voice sounded, it was Sun Fei talking to Cheng Xin with his throat between his throats.

"vomit……"

Xiao Cheng had a chill, and almost vomited out the last night's meal, "Sun Fei, I have Liu Min's phone number, do you want me to chat with your little sister Lan or something?"

Fei was serious for a moment, "Xiao Cheng, what are you talking about, I'm not that kind of person, I have business to do tomorrow, go to bed early!"

"..."

Take a shower, turn off the light and go to bed.

After a day of exhaustion, Fei started snoring within a few seconds.

But Xiao Cheng tossed and turned on the bed...

Master only has ten days. If he starts tomorrow, he will have to go back in eight days at the latest.

In this way, the round trip does not count, and he only has seven days to win back the lightning strike sawdust.

Time is running out!
I hope that the Luo family is as open and upright as Aunt Yuyan understands, otherwise this matter will be mysterious.

And that Luo Sheng, is he from the Luo family?
There are multiple friends and multiple paths, just leave a phone call at that time...

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, and besides Fei's snoring sounded like an electric drill, Xiao Cheng lost all sleepiness, so he just sat up and stared at the moon in the sky in a daze.

Forget it, don't sleep anymore, stay up until dawn and go out directly!

Time passed by every minute and every second, and it was five o'clock in the morning.

Xiao Cheng was not the only one who stayed up until dawn tonight.

Odao Aojing Hotel, in a resplendent private room...

Luo Sheng sat at one end of the long gaming table with a blank expression on his face.

At the other end of the long table was a wretched middle-aged fat man, wearing a striped suit, with a bracelet in his left hand, and a typical Mediterranean hairstyle.

"Haha, Young Master Luo, this is the last hand, how many chips do you have left?"

Luo Sheng straightened the collar of his black suit, and glanced at the playing cards in front of him...

Spades 10, J, Q, K, this is the face card, and there is a hole card upside down.

It is a straight flush board.

Rubbing up the hole cards and looking at them, Luo Sheng smiled slightly. Luo Sheng wrote a paragraph on the laptop at hand, and the content was directly displayed on the big screen in the private room.

[Su Ying, I still have 200 million, this is me talking, it's all gone! 】

Luo Sheng swept all the chips in front of him into the center of the table.

The chips there have been piled up like a mountain, and the face value is definitely no less than 1000 million.

"Oh?"

Su Ying licked the fallen lock of hair to the top of his head, looked at his own card, three aces, one 6,

He didn't look at his cards, but narrowed his eyes and looked at Luo Sheng, "Young Master Luo, are you so confident?
If I'm not mistaken, this is your last 200 million today. If you lose this game again, you will lose all of the 2000 million specified in a game. At that time, 25% of your Luojia Casino will belong to us All, stop thinking about it? "

[Hehe, I have a straight flush card, if this is not stud, then there is really no need to play! 】

A playful smile appeared on Luo Sheng's face, he curled his mouth and spread his hands, and continued to write, 【Su Ying, you are known as the King of Gambling in Tiannan, so you are afraid and dare not follow? 】

Su Ying didn't speak, he looked into Luo Sheng's eyes, kept twisting the bracelet with his left hand, and flipped a round chip back and forth between the backs of his five fingers with his right hand, like an obedient child.

The private room fell silent for an instant.

In addition to the two, there was a young man sitting behind Luo Sheng. He was dressed in a suit and had a slim fit. His body and appearance were about [-]% similar to Luo Sheng's.
And behind Su Ying, the mediterranean dumpy man, there was also a person sitting.

Gold-rimmed glasses, combed hair meticulously, and a gentle smile on his face.

It was Wen Ze who had disappeared for a long time!
At this moment, both of them held their breath, watching the situation on the gaming table nervously.

The chips on Su Ying's right hand turned faster and faster, and his breathing became heavier...

After a long while, he suddenly fell down, with a ferocious face like a wild beast, and with a wave of his arm, he threw out the stack of chips in front of him, "Okay, I'll play with you, I'm four aces, show your cards and come see me!"

The hole cards were turned over, and there were four old aces, like four shining bayonets.

Luo Sheng felt dizzy for a while.

He stared at Su Ying, and silently buckled the four cards in front of him.

This action represents admitting defeat.

The hole card is the 7 of Hearts, and what I hold is just a deck of miscellaneous cards, but the opponent is four aces...

Can't steal chicken...

But why is Su Ying so sure, as if he already knew his cards?
Luo Sheng turned his head and glanced around. This was his own casino, and behind him was his younger brother, so there couldn't be any problems.

Could it be that Su Ying's gambling skills are really too strong for me?
Luo Sheng let out a breath slowly, and wrote [Tiannan Gambling King, well-deserved reputation! 】

"Ha ha!"

Su Ying flashed the four aces in his hand: "Young man, you are too impatient, if it doesn't turn out that you are stealing chickens, I really don't have to mess around!
Or call your old man who is lying in the hospital over!

You... are not my opponent! "

After saying a word, the young man behind Luo Sheng became angry. He stood up and pointed at Su Ying's nose and cursed, "What are you talking about, you bald man? Believe it or not, I won't let you get out of this door!"

"Ha ha!"

Su Ying smiled dismissively and leaned back on the chair.

Luo Sheng also stood up, bent over to write, 【This is only the first round, there are three more rounds to come, it is still unknown who will win the game! 】

After finishing writing, he turned around and left the door of the private room regardless of the reactions of the two people opposite him. The young man behind him gave Wen Ze and Su Ying a look, and followed Luo Sheng's footsteps with an angry snort.

The door of the private room was closed, and there were two smug laughs from inside...

……
