The years when I was an old man

I looked around, but I didn't see Huang Shigong.

When he saw me coming in, the old accountant who was sitting next to Zhai Xingzhang slowly stood up.

He looked at Zhaixing Zhang and said with a smile:

"Lao Zhang, the contestants are all here, why not start?"

Only then did Zhaixing Zhang look at me. He nodded slightly at me as a greeting.

Zhang Fan beside him kept looking at me and Gu Ziliu worriedly.

Zhaixingzhang stood up and said to Fang Chukai and others:

"Everyone, please take a seat!"

Everyone sat down one by one, and Zhaixing Zhang walked to the middle of the hall.

He glanced at everyone and spoke slowly:

"Today, I am entrusted by Mr. Gu Ziliu and Mr. Chuliu to adjudicate the bet between the two of them. To reflect the fairness of this game, you two cannot hide anything on your body. Now, please take out the items on your body..."

Gu Ziliu also stood up slowly. He walked to the gaming table expressionlessly and took out his belongings one by one.

I did the same thing and took out all the things I usually carry.

Then, two staff members searched us separately.

During the search, Gu Ziliu kept staring at me indifferently.

"Zhang Judgment, nothing was found!"

Zhaixingzhang nodded with satisfaction, pointed in the direction of the card table, and said:

"You two, please take a seat. I will announce the rules of the competition later!"

Gu Ziliu and I sat in our own seats respectively, but our eyes always stayed on each other.

Although this bet was far less massive than the Star Reaching List, the atmosphere at the scene was even more depressing.

After all, the star rankings are just rankings.

And in this scene, between Gu Ziliu and I, one person is destined to leave this world.

Zhaixingzhang looked at the two of us and then said:

"You two, this is a life and death situation. Are you two ready?"

There was a kind of determination in Gu Ziliu's cold eyes.

We both looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Please declare life and death!"

Zhaixingzhang said loudly.

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a staff member holding a tray and walking towards us.

There is also a scroll placed on the tray.

Arriving next to Zhaixingzhang, he picked up the scroll and read aloud:

"Both parties A and B voluntarily play a game of thousands, with their lives at stake, regardless of life or death, let alone others. The loser will die willingly. Relatives, friends and old friends after death are not allowed to seek revenge. Everyone present is a witness. The life and death pleading is Physical evidence!”

As he said that, the staff placed a pen and ink pad next to me and Gu Ziliu.

Zhaixingzhang put the scroll in front of me and asked softly:

"On the sixth day of the sixth lunar month, have you thought about it? It's still too late to regret it..."

"Need not!"

I said indifferently.

"Hey, let's sign and pledge it!"

Zhaixingzhang sighed, he seemed to be full of regrets about my choice.

I picked up the pen, signed my name, and put my fingerprint on my name.

When the staff put the life and death certificate in front of Gu Ziliu, Gu Ziliu didn't hesitate at all.

He picked up the pen and quickly signed his name.

Then, I pressed the ink pad and prepared to sign my name.

Just as he was about to press his fingerprints, he suddenly heard a woman's anxious voice coming from the door:

"Wait a moment!"

Everyone couldn't help but look back and saw Huo Yutong and Qu Fengmei walking in quickly.

I have seen Huo Yutong countless times, no matter what the environment.

She was always well-dressed and elegant.

But at this moment, her hair was messy and her whole body was in a state of panic.

The moment he saw Huo Yutong, Gu Ziliu couldn't help but froze.

I saw her walking quickly to the card table, looking at the two of us anxiously, and said loudly:

"Do you know what you are doing?"

I didn't speak, and Gu Ziliu also remained silent.

"The two of you have never had any deep grudges, and even cherished each other. But now, you are inexplicably willing to risk your life and death. What you are doing is just hurting your loved ones and making your enemies happy!"

Gu Ziliu looked at Huo Yutong and suddenly said:

"If I don't have any relatives, there will be no one to feel pain for me!"

Huo Yutong was stunned by Gu Ziliu's words.

But I feel the same way about Gu Ziliu’s resentful words.

You, Huo Yutong, are Melo's wife, but you have never told her truest thoughts, whether to me or to Gu Ziliu.

At the beginning, I looked for reasons to excuse her, thinking that she must have her own secrets.

But now, the life and death certificate has been signed.She still refused to tell the truth.

What is the relationship between me, or Gu Ziliu, and her?

Looking at the two of us, Huo Yutong slowly shook his head.

"Haven't you two heard the story of Bian Zhuangzi stabbing a tiger? Two tigers fought, one died and the other was injured. Others benefited from it. You two listen to me, leave here now, just treat it like this Never happened!”

I didn't move, and Gu Ziliu didn't even move.

Seeing that Huo Yutong could not persuade us two, she immediately turned to look at the old accountant and said sternly:

"Where is Huang Shigong? Let her come out to see me!"

"Sorry, Mrs. Mei. Mr. Huang is busy!"

Huo Yutong immediately turned to look at Zhaixing Zhang and asked for help:

"Brother Zhang!"

Zhaixingzhang looked helpless. He sighed and said leisurely:

"I have been a guest of Yunnan for 15 years. I rely half on the sky and half on you. Yutong, I am just a judge. I have done everything I can do..."

Huo Yutong became even more anxious, but Gu Ziliu then said:

"Mr. Zhang, please announce the rules of the competition!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed his handprint firmly on his name.

At this moment, Huo Yutong's body swayed involuntarily.

His expression was full of despair.
