The years when I was an old man

The outskirts of the ancient town.Several of our cars moved slowly in the night.

This is my second time here, and the last time I came here with Zhang Fan seems to be still vivid in my memory.

But now, I am thinking more about what Sui Jiangwan once told me.

She said that Huo Yutong, the plum blossom girl, was the root cause of my father's death.

Let's not say whether what she said is true or false, but one thing is certain.

Huo Yutong and my father must be inextricably linked.

Anyway, I decided to test this thousand-handed jade fox today.

After bumping for a while on the narrow path, the car slowly stopped in front of a quaint courtyard.

After opening the door and getting off the car, the security guard at the door immediately stepped forward and greeted Uncle Huo.

Uncle Huo didn't answer, he walked to the door, took out the key, and opened the door.

It's almost the same as the last time I came, the courtyard is not big, and it's clean.

The green bamboos on both sides are still green, but the plum blossoms planted in the past have long since withered.

On both sides of the door, there are still two pairs of bright red lanterns.

Above the lantern is the word "Mei" written in Xiaozhuan.

Walking to the door, I saw a whole thick wooden board on the left side leaning against the gazebo.

On the wooden board, it was filled with poker cards.This look is the formation of flying cards.

Unexpectedly, Plum Blossom Girl seems to be weak, but her skill in flying cards is not inferior to that of Old Wu.

Standing at the door, Uncle Huo knocked lightly on the door a few times.

But unfortunately, there was no response from the door.

Uncle Huo cautiously looked inside again and asked:

"Yutong, have you rested?"

Then came a gentle and lazy voice in the room:

"No, just say so if you have something to do. I don't want to open the door..."

I can feel that Uncle Huo is a little embarrassed at this time.

He cleared his throat and said again:

"I told you a few days ago that I made an appointment with someone else to gamble. Today, I need you to help me gamble..."

"I don't gamble, and you don't like me to gamble. You can find someone to help you..."

Huo Yutong's answer surprised us all.

Even Liu Baiyu frowned slightly, he never thought that Huo Yutong would reject Uncle Huo.

Uncle Huo raised his head slightly and sighed softly:

"This game is a game of life and death!"

As soon as the voice fell, Huo Yutong in the room questioned:

"Life and death game? You are not a member of a thousand families, and you don't gamble on weekdays. Why do you want to make a life and death game with others!"

In a word, Uncle Huo's expression was a little painful, he said leisurely:

"I saw Wanru, and I also saw Liu Baiyu. This game is against Liu Baiyu!"

The room suddenly fell silent, and there was no more sound.

After a while, I saw a piece of light pouring from the window.

Soon, the door was gently pushed open.Huo Yutong appeared at the door.

Under the glowing red lantern light, Huo Yutong's fair face was slightly rosy.

Coupled with her classical and graceful temperament, this moment gives people a feeling of a person in the painting.

No wonder her nickname is Qianshouyuhu. I think the beauty of fox charm in film and television dramas is nothing more than that.

Even Xiaoduo beside me stared blankly at Huo Yutong.

After a while, she said to me softly:

"Sixth day, she is so beautiful..."

I didn't make a sound, but He Xiaoshi clearly agreed with Xiaoduo's statement, so she also nodded.

Huo Yutong's eyes fixed on Liu Baiyu's body.

The two looked at each other, Liu Baiyu bowed and said politely:

"It's been more than twenty years since we left Bashu. Miss Huo, how are you?"

I could feel that Liu Baiyu was a little excited at this moment.

Huo Yutong was generous, leaned slightly, and sighed:

"That's right, after 20 years of flicking your fingers, Brother Bai Yu still looks as handsome..."

Liu Baiyu shook his head and smiled wryly, and said again:

"Where is my demeanor? It's a beauty that has never been defeated by time. Ms. Huo really has an eternal face..."

What Liu Baiyu said was not an exaggeration, but it was not the truth either.

You know, Huo Yutong's hair can already clearly see a lot of white hair.

The two exchanged some polite words, and Huo Yutong casually glanced in our direction.

The moment she saw me, I could clearly feel the surprise and surprise in her eyes.

"Sixth day? Why are you here?"

Huo Yutong asked unexpectedly.

I am a blunt person, and the reasons for my coming are complicated.

For a while, I didn't know how to answer.

"Do you know?"

Liu Baiyu asked curiously.

Huo Yutong looked at me with deep eyes, and replied casually:

"Uncle Tuohuo's blessing, I had the honor to gamble with my sixth grader..."

"The results of it?"

"He won!"

"He won?"

Liu Baiyu looked back at me in disbelief.

"It's windy outside, let's talk inside..."

Huo Yutong turned around and led us into the room.

Similar to the last time I came, the layout of the room is simple and elegant.

There are many books on the sandalwood bookshelf.

In contrast to this simplicity, all kinds of gambling equipment can be seen everywhere in the room.

Wooden Pai Gow, hard plastic dice, and cardboard poker are piled up on the table.

Looking at these gambling tools, Liu Baiyu asked:

"After all these years, Ms. Huo is still inseparable from her..."

Huo Yutong didn't speak, but poured water to make tea.
