Strange Tale

Boss Ding frowned, "Why guess double?"

Long Jiu looked at him calmly, "I don't think you will really throw a chess piece, only one chess piece."

"What if I guess you think so?"

"Then I thought you'd guess I would think so."

"If only I had guessed."

"Then I still think about it."

Boss Ding smiled, "Young Master Long is really an interesting person."

Long Jiu also laughed, "Many people live in such pain because they think too much, so it's better to keep it simple. In fact, I just like 'double', there is no special reason."

"If I lose this round, do you want another round?"

Long Jiu shook his head.

"You don't want to win something?"

"The boss doesn't have what Long Jiu wants."

Boss Ding thought for a while, and the bowl in his hand was thrown into the basin after being scratched across the table. No one could see exactly how many chess pieces were inside.

"You win, take your things and people away. Never come back here again." He stood up and put Huan'er on the table, put his hands back, turned and walked towards the secret door next to him.

Si Ren took a step towards him, "Boss Ding! My sister..."

"She will be fine soon after leaving here." Boss Ding didn't look back.

His figure disappeared behind the door, and Ye Chang and Xu Hai were finally let go.Si Ren hurried over to pick up Huan'er, and often ran to Long Jiu's side with Xu Hai.

"General, we..." Xu Hai wanted to speak.

Long Jiu raised his foot towards the door expressionlessly, "Let's go out first."

The six of them went back to the inn in silence.

"Xiao Hai, follow me." Long Jiu finally spoke in front of the door of the room on the second floor.

Xu Hai and Ye Chang and Si Ren looked at each other, and obediently followed Long Jiu into the room.

After entering the room, Long Jiu sat on the chair, and Xu Haiguan stood in front of him with his head down.

Long Jiu looked at him coldly for a while, "It's up to you to choose: whether to let Grandma Dudu take your living soul when you go back, or kill yourself now."

Xu Hai plopped down on his knees, "General...I know I was wrong."

"You asked Huan'er to do that?"

There was a cry in Xu Hai's voice, "Yes."

"why?"

"I... I didn't think about it. I just went to play casually, but Huan'er followed me, and she could guess the cards every time. I asked her what was going on, and she said she could see it. I started I didn't want her to read it for me, but I was losing money even after playing a few games, and my eyes turned red for a while, so...General, please forgive me this time, I will never dare again. "

Long Jiu frowned, "Are you short of money?"

Xu Hai shook his head, tears streaming down his face.

"Then what do you want to win?"

Xu Hai wiped away his tears and continued to shake his head.

"Okay, let me ask you, what are you gambling in the casino?"

"money."

This time Long Jiu shook his head, "It's luck."

Xu Hai stared blankly at Long Jiu, "Luck?"

"Yes, how many times a person has good luck in his life, and how many times he will be unlucky. There is a definite number when the pie will fall from the sky and when the cold water will stop the teeth. The person who has money loses money, and his own luck will be ruined. The person you win only loses money, but you will definitely experience a catastrophe in the near future. You deserve it even if you die, but what about Huaner? A child doesn’t understand anything. If she can see, she can say she can see. Why should she be unlucky with you? You said that you have been with me for a day or two. How could you do such a stupid thing? It was so dangerous just now, almost I've lost everything! Huan'er doesn't know what happened!" Long Jiu's hair turned red as she spoke.

Xu Hai knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move, but after holding back for a while, he still raised his head, "I... have something I don't understand."

"what?"

"Why do you want to bet on odds and evens with Boss Ding? They have a lot of people, and I often can't beat them without knowing spells, but you are different from Mr. Si. Why are you afraid of him?"

Clap──Long Jiuyi slapped the table, "It's not a question of who is afraid of whom at all! Don't you understand? As long as no one forces you to gamble on the gambling table, ghosts, gods and Buddhas have nothing to do with it. Boss Nading He's not an ordinary person. Si Ren and I can't see his background, and you are all in his hands. How dare we cast spells casually? If you were alone, I could burn down the casino directly regardless of your life or death, but Huan'er is the child Wuchang entrusted to Si Ren to take care of him, and I will not let her have any accidents no matter what."

"Okay." Long Jiu stood up, "You can kneel in this room tonight, and think about the choice I asked you just now. If you want to die now, you can die in this room directly, and I will let you die tomorrow morning." I often come here to collect your corpse, if you don’t want to die immediately, wait until tomorrow, and I will hand you over to Grandma Dudu when you go back.”

While speaking, Long Jiu walked to the door, stretched out his hand and pulled the door open, and Chang and Si Ren almost fell into the door.

"Go back when you've heard enough." Long Jiu walked past them, and went straight to the room that was originally agreed to be given to Ye Chang and Xu Hai, "Ye Chang, you and Si Ren can change rooms."

"Huh?" He often didn't respond for a while.

Si Ren glanced at the back of Xu Hai kneeling on the ground and quickly closed the door carefully, "Xiaolin and Huan'er are in my room. There are probably no vacancies at this time, so you should squeeze with them tonight."

I also often look at the closed door, "It doesn't matter if it's crowded or not, it's okay if you don't sleep, but Xiaohai..."

Seeing that Long Jiu had entered the room, Si Ren often winked his eyes, "It's okay, I'll try to persuade him."

Ye Chang sighed and patted Si Ren on the shoulder, "It's useless, he's very angry."

Si Ren thought he had misunderstood, "What's useless?"

"You haven't known us for a short time, and you don't know Long Jiu enough. What he has decided will not change. And usually as long as you say it, it is already decided."

Si Ren couldn't believe it, "No way?! Just because of Xiao Hai, let Huan'er read the cards for him?"

Also often smiled helplessly, "Your Xiaojiu is not just what you see."

"You mean Xiao Hai really can't survive?"

"Let's go back to Yancheng at the latest."

"I won't let him do that."

"Well, all I can say is I hope you can."

"Then you go and tell Xiao Hai, don't let anything happen tonight, I will slowly figure out a solution on the way."

Long Jiu sat down and poured a glass of water, Si Ren opened the door and came in.

"Discuss with Ye Chang how to save Xiao Hai?" Long Jiu drank the water.

Knowing that he was angry, Si Ren decided not to mention it for the time being, "No. We are guessing how you won against Boss Ding in the end. Tell me about it."

Long Jiu didn't answer directly, "Is Huaner okay?"

"Before I asked Xiaolin to take her back to the room, I was able to recognize people. She said she was sleepy, and she would probably be fine in the morning after sleeping."

"Ah That's good."

"Tell me how you won that old and cunning Boss Ding just now."

"You didn't see how you won."

"Then why did you deliberately lose to him in the first two rounds?"

Long Jiu squinted at Si Ren, "When did I lose to him on purpose, and why do I lose on purpose?"

Si Ren was a little surprised, "Ah?! You mean...you really lost those two rounds?!"

"If you lose, you lose. What's the truth? As for being so surprised?"

"Oh my God!" Si Yan touched his forehead and felt a layer of cold sweat from fear, "I thought you used some strategy, but I didn't expect... You are too courageous?! Look at what you use to do it bet?!"

Long Jiu didn't take it seriously, "Didn't we still win in the end? Didn't we all come out? Aren't you going to accuse me vigorously? What else?"

"You...I'm not blaming you, I just think it's too risky for you to do this. Aren't you afraid that Boss Ding will play tricks?"

"He didn't."

"What if?"

"He can see what I am, I don't think he has the guts."

"What about the third game, how do you know it's a double?"

"I didn't know it was double."

"Then why did you guess double?"

"I haven't already said the reason, I just like 'double'."

"..."

after awhile.

"I see." Si Ren suddenly realized, "What you bet with Boss Ding is not a bet, nor is it luck."

"what is that?"

"You want to see if Boss Ding really wants to embarrass us. In this way... then the last thing in his bowl may be a pawn!"

There was finally a smile on Long Jiu's face, "It's okay, you're not that stupid. You don't even think about it: a casino owner, what good will be the end of betting with him? You and I can even play dice People don't even bother to make a difference. So I just want to try his intentions. If he just wants to scare dishonest people with small punishments and big warnings, then I will play with him pretending to be nervous. Son. If he really has any malicious intentions, I guarantee that the casino will be reduced to ashes by now."

"You don't worry about Yechang, Xiaohai and Huan'er when you think so?"

"It's also easy to deal with Xiao Hai. I was really just worried about Huan'er at the time, but I thought that if there was really no other way but to rob him in the end, then I would try to get Boss Ding to tell me how to get Huan'er back."

"But you didn't say it yourself: ghosts, gods and Buddhas have nothing to do with the gambling table, and you don't know the details of Boss Ding. Are you sure you can handle it?"

"Hmph, ghosts, gods, and Buddhas don't care about the gambling table, and they don't care about me either. There is nothing in this world that I'm afraid of. I'm willing to sit down and play with him just because I don't want to cause too much trouble and delay your return. home itinerary."

"Okay, you are domineering." Si Ren had nothing to say, walked up to Long Jiu and held his face, "Then... since there is nothing else to do, how about I let Xiao Hai get up and go to bed first? Or should I kneel down? I won’t be able to drive the car tomorrow morning after the last night.”

Long Jiu frowned again, "I know you're thinking about this. No, he's mine, so how you deal with it has nothing to do with you."

"Look at you, it's hot again. It was fine just now. Since everything is fine, why do you need to be angry with Xiao Hai again?"

"It's not whether I'm angry with him or not. Some mistakes can't be easily forgiven without serious consequences."

Si Ren continued to hold his face and looked at it for a while, then rubbed it with his hands for a while, "Well, since you said so, let's not mention it. It's getting late, let's rest early."

Long Jiu couldn't help laughing, "Look at your lecherous face. Are you happy that I let you go to your room often?"

"Shouldn't I be happy?"

Long Jiu stood up and gave Si Ren a blank look, "I'm exhausted, go to bed and sleep."
