The years when I was an old man

"Let's go too!"

He Xiaoshi was beside me and said something softly.

I sighed slightly, and walked towards the antique building on the mountainside.

After the reconstruction, the wooden building is even more majestic.

In front of the door is a bamboo grove, surrounded by blue bricks and gray walls.

Walking into the yard, there are many familiar faces standing there, chatting casually in groups of three or four.

Like the Weihe ghosts, and Qiu Wanying.

What surprised me the most was that Li Jianlu was there.

Last time in Coconut Island, Li Jianlu lost my finger, but I didn't take it.

After he left, I thought he would withdraw from the arena.

Unexpectedly, he would appear here again.

It's just that it's been a long time since I saw him. This former Qilu Gambling King seems to be not doing very well.

Although he was wearing brand-name clothes, it seemed that he hadn't washed them for a long time.

The expensive watch he once wore has disappeared at this moment.

The moment he saw me, Li Jianlu walked over quickly.

"The sixth day, are you here?"

There was an awkward smile on his fat face.

I nodded and asked him back:

"Participate in the star list?"

Li Jianlu shook his head.

"Hey, I lost to you last time, so I don't have any interest in this list..."

"Then you are?"

I asked something puzzled.

Li Jianlu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he lowered his voice and said:

"The last time you took my cargo away, didn't you get robbed by Master Liu again? I am too tight now, my son needs money, and the old lady needs money for hospitalization. I just want to talk to Master Liu, and put that Give me some of the batch payment first. He won't answer the phone calls, so I have no choice but to come to the star list..."

Li Jianlu's cramped appearance is completely different from his image of a gambling king when he scolded Fang Qiu.

"Don't you still run a casino?"

I'm a little puzzled, Li Jianlu just can't do it.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so he wouldn't fall into this situation.

Li Jianlu smiled wryly, shook his head, and said:

"Hey, it's hard to say. When I returned to Qilu from Coconut Island, the casino was taken over by Mr. Liu. I have been in business for so many years, how can I swallow this breath. I called Mr. Liu, but he I won’t accept it. In a fit of anger, I found some brothers who were good with me back then, and wanted to take the place back. Guess what happened?”

I shook my head.

"Before I got to the venue, I was arrested by people from Baidao. Do you admit to or not for the crime of running a casino? There is no way, of course I admit it. The family relied on connections and found many people. I was taken out after selling everything. Now I really can't survive..."

Li Jianlu looked bitter, and continued:

"At first, I thought, after all, I am also a thousand hands, and a thousand skills are justified. I wanted to find two rounds, but before I got on the court, people recognized my identity and beat me several times. I was completely broken." Don't think about it. Hey, a phoenix with shedding hair is not as good as a chicken!"

I looked at Li Jianlu, but didn't feel any sympathy.

Gather a game and start a gamble, and pay a thousand to release water.

It would be nice to have a good end after doing all kinds of evil like ours.

Just as I was talking, I heard someone shouting inside:

"Everyone from outside, come in, the masters will be here in 10 minutes!"

This time it was obviously more relaxed than before, and the attendants brought along were able to follow in.

The people outside immediately filed in. Just as I was about to move forward, I heard Xiaoduo behind me say:

"Don't come in with me, just wait outside!"

As soon as Xiaoduo opened her mouth, everyone looked back.

In terms of scenery, the current Xiaoduo is the most beautiful.

Behind them were 22 big men, not to mention their physical strength, even their clothes were the same.

All of them had firm eyes, looking like dead soldiers.

As soon as Xiaoduo said this, these people immediately stood aside.

The leader cupped his hands at Xiaoduo and said:

"Miss Xiaoduo, if there is anything abnormal inside, tell us immediately. Whoever dares to touch you, we people will definitely tear him to pieces!"

Xiaoduo waved her hands helplessly.

You know, this girl is used to freedom.

With so many people around her, she was not used to it for a while.

Entering the welcoming hall, it is several times larger than before.

Mahogany seats are placed around, and there is a special small tea table between the two chairs.These are all prepared for the participants.

In the middle position, a row of purple Eight Immortals chairs is placed.

Refreshments and fruits are also prepared on the tea table among the chairs.These are for promoters.

I found a seat at random and sat down. Lao Hei and the others were not contestants, so they could only stand behind Master Hong and me.

Looking around, there are some familiar Qianshou around.

What caught my attention the most was Jin Wushuang in the corner.

He closed his eyes and lightly shook the folding fan in his hand.

That way, it seems that it has already been planned.

After watching for a long time, I didn't see the silver-clothed girl from the Gu sect.

It was Gu Ziliu who sat not far from me.

He looked at the back door, and I guessed that referee Zhang Fan would come out from here after a while.

Not long after, a person in charge came in from the back door.

As soon as he entered the door, he made a gesture of raising his hand to everyone, and said at the same time:

"Everyone, please stand up. Master Liu and all the masters are here. Everyone welcomes with applause..."

Everyone got up one after another, but Gu Ziliu didn't move, just sat in his place coldly.

I took a special look at Jin Wushuang, he was still shaking his bamboo fan, not moving.

Not long after, Sanmei of Dianzhong and Luobei walked in first.

Following behind them were Zhang Xingzhai and Zhang Fan.

Liu Yunxiu came in last, which surprised me.

Liu Yunxiu also supported a person, and stood beside him cautiously.

The moment they saw that person, Gu Ziliu and Jin Wushuang who were sitting just now stood up immediately.
