Ten Days End

At dawn, Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin walked out of the door.

Dihu was not there, he should not have gone to work yet.

Kuo Yi was not there either, he should have gone off work.

The earthy yellow sun climbed up the sky with the stench of the morning, indicating that the first day of this cycle had officially begun.

Qiao Jiajin stretched and turned his head and asked, "Liar, are we going to wait here all the time?"

"Yeah, wait."

The two didn't know what time it was, but they only knew that they had been waiting for about an hour. Qiao Jiajin was so bored that he squatted on the ground and dug sand, and Dihu lazily appeared from the portal beside him.

He saw the two at a glance.

"Oh, it's early." Dihu walked over casually, found a step and sat down slowly.

"Not early, we waited for an hour." Qi Xia said.

"Yeah." Dihu nodded, then raised his eyelids and asked, "Did the things arrive?"

Qi Xia took out the bag of snacks from his pocket and threw it to Dihu.

"We can't deliver the things."

Qiao Jiajin swallowed his saliva after hearing this. He didn't expect Qi Xia to tell the truth.

He was a little afraid that the tiger-headed man in front of him would suddenly get angry, and the two of them would be doomed.

"Why can't we deliver it?" Dihu asked.

"The child is dead."

"Oh...?" Dihu's expression was a little strange, "You said she was dead?"

"Yeah." Qi Xia nodded.

"Hehe..." Dihu stood up slowly after hearing this, and said meaningfully, "Boy, you are smart. If you dare to tell me that the things have been delivered, I will make you pay for it."

Qi Xia slowly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this: "You knew she was dead a long time ago?"

A trace of sadness flashed across Dihu's face.

"It's been almost a month... Every day after get off work, she doesn't come to get together..."

The two didn't know what the relationship between Dihu and the human rat was, so naturally they couldn't say anything, and could only watch him sad quietly.

"I really miss her a little bit..." Dihu slowly raised his head and asked, "She's been dead for a long time, right?"

"Well, twenty days?" Qiao Jiajin nodded, but Qi Xia felt something was wrong.

Dihu's face suddenly darkened.

"So... a body that has been decaying for more than twenty days, why do you conclude that she is a "child"? " Dihu asked Qi Xia with cold eyes.

Qi Xia knew that this matter must be hidden.

"I killed her." Qi Xia said, "I bet her to death."

"Bet her to death...?" Dihu was slightly stunned.

"Yes... I bet my life with her..."

"Your mother..."

Dihu slowly stood up, looking very angry, which made Qiao Jiajin nervous.

But just a few seconds later, Dihu's expression gradually fell like a deflated ball.

"You said "bet her to death"... Then when she died... she didn't suffer, right? "There seemed to be tears in Dihu's eyes.

Qi Xia thought for a moment, nodded and said, "No, she committed suicide, killed by a single pistol shot."

"That... that's good..." Dihu nodded, constantly kneading the wrinkled bag of snacks in his hand, "Little mouse, you are free."

Hearing the words "you are free", Qi Xia's head flashed with a flash of electricity, and inexplicably felt a little painful.

He quickly interrupted his thoughts and asked Dihu: "So what is our "deal"? "

"I will help you keep your "Tao". If one day you can let me see that person... all the "Tao" will be returned in full, not one less. "Dihu paused after speaking, and then said, "If you dare to lie to me..."

"No." Qi Xia shook his head, "Those "Tao" are all mine, I don't need to use them to lie to you."

After listening, Dihu nodded gently.

"Then I will... just help you find the "Heavenly Sheep", right? "

"What the hell are you thinking about?" Dihu laughed angrily, "I asked you to deliver snacks for me, but you didn't. Logically, shouldn't I change the conditions?"

Qi Xia was not surprised after hearing this, but nodded: "That's right. You talk, I'm listening."

Dihu slowly stretched out his hand, pointed in a direction, and said: "Walk half an hour from here, you will see a bar. There is a casino under the bar. It is the game venue of "Diyang". I want his life."

"What...?" Qi Xia was stunned, "Take his life?"

"Go and kill him for me, and I will agree to all your requests from now on."

Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin looked at each other. This condition was too harsh.

"Dihu, you should know... As a "participant", I want to kill "Zodiac", only through gambling."

"Yes, I know."

"How can I risk my life with "Diyang" without knowing anything?" Qi Xia frowned."If I die, everything will be over. How can you see the "Heavenly Sheep"?"

After hearing this, Dihu slowly pursed his lips, as if he felt that his request was a bit too much.

"Then I want to teach him a lesson... What do you think we should do?"

After hearing this, Qi Xia also thought about it and asked, "Dihu, although the "Tao" is of no use to you, if I win all the "Tao" of Diyang, will it be considered a lesson for him?"

"You want to win all the "Tao" of "Diyang"...?" Dihu thought the man in front of him was a little ridiculous, "Do you know what "Sheep" represents?"

"Of course I know." Qi Xia nodded, "In terms of this specialty, I guess I'm not worse than him."

Dihu began to re-examine Qi Xia. This person gave him a different feeling.

"In that case... I'll change my request." Dihu said, "I want you to go to Diyang's game alone and win all the "Tao" in his hand, so that I can go and laugh at him tonight. "

Qi Xia thought for a while and said, "Must I go alone...?"

"That's right." Di Hu smiled, "I want to confirm whether you are a qualified partner."

"Okay, deal." Qi Xia looked up at the sky, "Before you "get off work" today, I will report the results to you."

Di Hu nodded, and pretended to be polite and asked, "It's rare to have repeat customers. Do you want to experience my game again?"

The two shook their heads and waved their hands.

It seems that Di Hu is quite happy. He who originally refused to kill people actually began to actively solicit customers at this time.

Qi Xia and Qiao Jiajin said goodbye to Di Hu and returned to the sunrise.

"Fist..." Qi Xia said, "You go back and tell them about this first, I'll go to the "Di Yang" venue."

"But do you have money to pay for the tickets? "Qiao Jiajin was stunned for a moment.

"This..." Qi Xia also ignored this question. He had just handed all the "Tao" to Dihu.

"Look!" Qiao Jiajin suddenly took out five "Tao" from his trouser pocket, "I stole it last night!"

Qi Xia showed a helpless expression after hearing this.

"I said... the so-called "stealing" should not let me know..." Qi Xia didn't even know how to persuade Qiao Jiajin, "You should have kept these five "Tao" by yourself. You took it out to help me now, which is not called "stealing"..."

"Liar, I just stole these five because I was afraid that Dihu would turn his face and deny it, and we would lose everything!" Qiao Jiajin said righteously.

"Okay..." Qi Xia nodded and took the five "Tao".
