The years when I was an old man

In the next two days, I began to make various preparations for going to Qilu.

At noon this day, I purposely went to find He Xiaoshi.

Because Xiaoduo's mood is not high recently, He Xiaoshi stays with Xiaoduo every day, trying every means to make her happy.

We have also moved from the hotel to Zheng Ruhuan's previous manor.

When I found He Xiaoshi, she had just come out of Xiaoduo's room.

The moment he saw me, He Xiaoshi suddenly made a silent gesture.

"This girl didn't sleep last night, she just fell asleep for less than 10 minutes..."

"Hey!"

I sighed slightly.

Although I knew earlier, this matter would have a great impact on Xiaoduo.

But I didn't expect that the impact would be so big.

"Xiaoshi, do you think this is okay? You and Xiaoduo don't want to go to Quancheng the day after tomorrow. You can go out with her and relax..."

Just as He Xiaoshi was about to speak, suddenly a security guard at the door walked over quickly.

When he came to me, he respectfully said:

"Boss Chu, there is a gentleman named Liu Baiyu at the door, and he wants to see you. Do you see him?"

I thought Liu Baiyu had left Bashu, but I didn't expect him to still be here.

After thinking about it, I said:

"Let him in..."

The security guard left, not long after.

I saw two security guards walking over with Liu Baiyu.

As before, under Liu Baiyu's elegant appearance, he still couldn't hide his suave temperament.

"Mr. Chu, I'm here to disturb you again!"

Liu Baiyu is polite, even facing me, a junior in the world.

I said a few words casually, and Liu Baiyu said again:

"Mr. Chu, where's Xiaoduo? Is she okay?"

I glanced in the direction of Xiaoduo's room, and said softly:

"A little depressed, but I think she should be able to come out!"

"Then can I see her?"

He Xiaoshi and I looked at each other and explained:

"She didn't sleep last night, and she just fell asleep now. Or, when she wakes up, I'll ask her?"

Liu Baiyu sighed and shook his head slightly.

"Then forget it. I came today because I wanted to see her for the last time. But since she's asleep, then forget it..."

what?

He Xiaoshi and I looked at each other.

last side?

What does it mean?

"Are you going back to Yundian?"

I tentatively asked.

Liu Baiyu shook his head.

"No, the bet between me and the elder brother will start tonight!"

This bet was made at the ceremony where Zheng Ruhuan washed his hands in the golden basin.

I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect it to start so soon.

But I'm still a little surprised that Liu Baiyu is ranked third on the list of thousands of stars.

Moreover, I have seen his method of rolling dice.

You know, I asked myself that Qianshu is not bad.But I didn't see what method he used to open the dice cup.

But what he said just now seemed to feel that he would definitely lose.

"The game of life and death has been opened, and fate has already been decided. Mr. Chu, I, Liu Baiyu, have countless loves and debts in my life. But the child who makes me feel most uneasy is Xiaoduo. Mr. Chu, I wonder if you can do it in the future?" Help me take care of her, and then enlighten her. You can tell her that everything is wrong with me. Let her stop being angry with her mother again. If possible, I am willing to die to make atonement..."

My focus is not at all on the second half of what Liu Baiyu said.

I am still wondering, why does he feel that he must lose?

I opened my mouth and asked:

"Although I'm not familiar with Mr. Liu, I've heard that Mr. Liu is superb. Why do you think that you will definitely lose?"

Liu Baiyu smiled freely and said slowly:

"Back then, I came to Bashu to teach the art of making ice, and Mr. Huo treated him with courtesy. But I was seductive and seduced his wife. It also caused today's disaster. In this life and death situation, I have the right to pay him back It's..."

I didn't expect Liu Baiyu to think this way.

And his attitude towards life and death is extremely free and easy.

I couldn't help but think of Master Hong's comment on Liu Baiyu, that he is greedy for money, lustful and righteous.

Liu Baiyu continued:

"Of course, this is just my rhetoric. In terms of Qianshu alone, I am not the match for the man that Uncle Huo is looking for..."

My heart trembled, what kind of character could make Liu Baiyu say such words.

"Who did Uncle Huo invite?"

I asked immediately.

"Although he didn't say it, I can guess it. The other party should be Huo Yutong, the thousand-handed jade fox..."

Huo Yutong?

My heart skipped a beat.

This Huo Yutong must be the plum blossom girl I saw in Bashu last time.

At that time, Huo Yuhan and I were betting against each other. When the plum blossom girl rolled the dice, the dice fell down.

And her method, I don't think it is very clever.

But why does Liu Baiyu feel that he is not her opponent?

"Is she famous in Qianmen?"

I asked again out of curiosity.

Liu Baiyu shook his head.

"No reputation!"

"Then how could she beat you in Qianju?"

Liu Baiyu smiled slightly, shook his head and said:

"With a thousand skills, talent is important, but a famous teacher is even more indispensable..."

"Who is her master?"

Facing my curiosity, Liu Baiyu shook his head slowly:

"Forget it, I won't mention the past of the old man. I guess he doesn't want to be remembered in this way..."

As he said that, Liu Baiyu looked at me solemnly, looked at me and said:

"On the sixth day, Xiaoduo's matter, please!"

As he spoke, he cupped his fists and bowed to me.

I hastily returned the gift, but Liu Baiyu turned around and left.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a female voice from the direction of the room:

"Wait a moment!"
