Chen Zhifei looked at Ding Bai who didn't know which rice ball to eat, and finally couldn't help but said: "Actually, the taste of the food in front of you is similar, and it doesn't matter which one you choose."

Ding Bai thought for a long time before choosing a tuna-flavored rice ball: "Although rice balls are all food for satisfying hunger, I still want to choose one that I like to eat."

"But these things actually have the same taste." Chen Zhifei still said disappointedly.

Ding Bai took a bite of the rice ball in his hand, and sighed: "So, why do you pay attention to the taste and taste of food? Such colorless things really taste like chewing wax."

"In the final analysis, how have you been able to endure eating this kind of food every day?" Ding Bai asked Chen Zhifei again.

"It's not every day, at least you can still eat other things when you enter the gambling game." Halfway through Chen Zhifei's speech, he felt that Ding Bai was staring at him intently, he touched his face and said, "What's wrong? "

"I feel like you've talked a lot recently." Ding Bai said.

"Really?" Chen Zhifei looked at Ding Bai, and finally his eyes fell on the rice ball in his hand.

Maybe it's because I miss you so much.

Ding Bai was thinking about it, he always felt that the reason why Chen Zhifei, who is usually silent and reticent, changed so much was that he had been trapped here for too long.

"Be patient for another two days, the door will almost appear..."

In the middle of the night, Chen Zhifei who was lying on the bed woke up suddenly. He sat up and walked out of the bedroom door, and saw the door that appeared in the room.

Ding Bai was lying on the sofa without moving, one hand fell on the carpet, and the other rested on top of his head.Chen Zhifei walked over gently, squatted on the ground and looked at each other for a long time, and waited until the person on the sofa turned over before waking Ding Bai up.

"Ding Bai, get up."

In a daze, Ding Bai thought he was dreaming when he saw Chen Zhifei's face, and he didn't realize until Chen Zhifei poked him on the shoulder: "What's wrong?"

"The door appeared." Chen Zhifei pointed to the door standing in the room and said.

Ding Bai rubbed his face quickly, and bounced off the sofa: "Let's go!"

Since the current state of Chen Zhifei's golden flower card was incomprehensible, they used Ding Bai's golden flower card to open the door.Different from the previous situation, after the two stepped into this door, they did not see the familiar gambling table. Instead, they entered a tunnel where they could not see their fingers.

- Prosperous wealth!

There was a sound of locking the door behind him, and then even the only light source disappeared.

"Chen Zhifei?" Ding Bai called Chen Zhifei's name in the dark.

"En." Chen Zhifei agreed, and soon felt a hand touching his sleeve, Ding Bai said next to him.

"Where's the little green light behind your ear? Why isn't it on?" Ding Bai asked. There was a sound of clothes rubbing beside him. Little green light.

"Let's go." Chen Zhifei stretched out his hand to grab Ding Bai's arm, and led him forward.

In the black tunnel where you can't see your fingers, the two of them are moving forward completely by intuition, and in this case, Chen Zhifei's steps are very fast.

I don't know how the tunnel is so long, and I can't see the exit after walking for a long time.Ding Bai thought to himself, could it be that this gamble is for them to find an exit in this pitch-black tunnel?

Just as he was thinking of this, he heard a series of footsteps running towards him, and Chen Zhifei who was beside him seemed to have also heard the sound, and the two of them stopped.

"There seems to be someone." Ding Bai said, suddenly felt something hit him, he dodged to the side, and Chen Zhifei supported his shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Chen Zhifei asked.

"No, something seemed to hit my leg just now." Ding Bai said, kicking the side with his foot, but nothing was kicked.

The two continued to walk forward, and after a while they saw a glimmer of light coming from a distance.After walking for a while, Ding Bai heard a sentence.

[The number of participants in this gamble is 12 people. The banker in the gamble must abide by the rules of the gamble. If you find the golden flower card within the specified time, you will be deemed to win.I wish all dealers a wealth of wealth! 】

As soon as the words fell, Ding Bai felt a strong light not far away, and then a voice sounded.

"Dean! Found them!"

Ding Bai stretched out his hand to cover his eyes, the beam of light flickered and became closer and closer, a middle-aged man ran over panting and shouted at them: "I told you not to run around, don't run around! Do you know You know how long we've been looking for you!"

Ding and Bai didn't expect the plot to be loaded so quickly, and the middle-aged man in front of them couldn't answer for a while.

Fortunately, the other party did not need them to argue and continued: "Follow me quickly, this air-raid shelter is so remote that you two can still find it, if the dean reminded us, we would never have thought that you would come to this location .”

"It's so cold, what if you freeze to death here?"

While accusing Ding and Bai, the middle-aged man led them out of the black tunnel. There were several figures standing at the entrance of the tunnel, and Ding Bai couldn't open his eyes under the light of a flashlight.

A few people didn't know what they said, and the woman in the lead was about to leave. Before leaving, Ding Bai heard the middle-aged man ask her: "Dean, there are still a few children that haven't been found yet, what should I do? "

The dean said: "If you haven't found it before the lights are turned off, forget it." After finishing speaking, he left.

"You guys will look around again, and if you find it, bring it back. The dean said that if you haven't found it before turning off the lights, forget it." The middle-aged man said to the other people holding the flashlight, and randomly said Ding and Bai said, "You come with me."

Ding and Bai followed the middle-aged man in front of them, and a few flashlights flickered not far behind them, as if they were looking for something.

"I said you children, why are you running around at night? I don't know that there are dangers everywhere on the back mountain?" The middle-aged man led the way with a flashlight, and counted the two behind him.

Ding Bai and Chen Zhifei secretly looked at each other, child?Both of us?

Have you ever seen a child grow so big?

But this question quickly disappeared, because the middle-aged man led them into a yard, and when he entered the door, Ding Bai saw the words written on the door - Lushan Orphanage.

"So the dean just now is actually the dean of the orphanage?" Ding Bai whispered in Chen Zhifei's ear, "Why do I suddenly have a sense of déjà vu that a horror movie is about to be staged?"

He said for a long time that Chen Zhifei who was next to him didn't agree, Ding Bai didn't wait until he returned, turned his head to look at Chen Zhifei who had been staring at him and asked, "Why do you keep staring at me?"

A smile appeared on Chen Zhifei's face, he cleared his throat and said, "It's nothing, let's go."

Ding Bai felt very strange, why is Chen Zhifei laughing inexplicably?

Before the question was answered, the middle-aged man who was walking in front stopped. He led the two of them into a room that looked like a small restaurant, and there were already some people sitting in the room.

"Go in and sit down quickly, and someone will arrange a room for you when everyone else finds it." The middle-aged man said, and lightly pushed Ding Bai's shoulder standing at the door, "Don't just stand there in a daze." Hurry up and sit down."

After that, the middle-aged man trotted out with a white breath in his mouth.

Ding Bai stood at the door, and everyone in the room cast strange glances at him, and the expression on Ding Bai's face at this time was also a little strange.

Why are there a bunch of kids sitting in this room?

And why do the eyes of these kids look so...mature?

There was a sound of kicking in the small dining room, it was the sound of a kettle burning on the small stove in the middle.One of the children who looked a little older stood up and picked up the kettle, and filled the water glasses in front of several people next to him.

Ding Bai rubbed his frozen fingers, and the older child said to him, "Have a cup of hot water to keep warm."

Ding Bai walked over and reached out to catch the water handed over by the child, and handed Chen Zhifei a glass by the way.

"Are you two...brothers?" asked the child who was pouring water for Ding Bai.

Ding Bai felt strange. Although he didn't know Chen Zhifei's age, the age difference between him and Chen Zhifei shouldn't be so obvious, right?

Before he could figure out how to answer, Chen Zhifei beside him helped him and said, "Yes, he is my younger brother."

Ding Bai: "..." Your uncle!

"Oh, that's no wonder." The person who asked the question next to him responded, "Let's sit down for a while. From the looks of it, I guess we won't know the next task until that middle-aged man has found all the dealers."

Holding the cup of hot water in his hand, Ding Bai felt strange, the person in front of him looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was dragged into a gambling game at such a young age?

Before he finished his doubts, the boy said again: "But the dealers are almost here now, and it's only a few minutes before the lights are turned off. You should know what's going on next soon."

etc!Ding Bai glanced around, there were teenagers sitting around a stove, did the person who said the banker just now meant these children?

When did the average age of gambling drop below minors?And there are a few of them who look like they are only eleven or twelve years old.

He was still thinking about how outrageous this matter was, when the door of the small restaurant was opened, a gust of cold wind blew in, and a middle-aged man walked in with a child who looked like seven or eight years old, and then he said One sentence completely confused Ding Bai.

"Okay, your people have almost arrived, and now I will arrange accommodation for you." The middle-aged man pushed the child like he just pushed Ding Bai, "Come with me."

There was a burst of impatience on that child's face, which was a bit abrupt on the face of a seven or eight-year-old child. Ding Bai seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Chen Zhifei.

She still has a smile on her face.

"What am I like now?" Ding Bai asked.

"What kind of thing?" Chen Zhifei pretended to be stupid, "It should be what it should be."

Ding Bai felt that something was wrong, and when the middle-aged man led them to the downstairs of the dormitory, he glanced at the grooming mirror attached to the stairs and almost blinded himself.

Who the hell is this?

In the mirror, beside Chen Zhifei stood a little boy about fourteen or fifteen years old. The boy's height was just as high as Chen Zhifei's chest. Under the collar of the coat, a pair of eyes with the roundness of the end of puberty.

Isn't this face just a miniature version of the birth certificate that Ding Bai's family got when he was just an adult?

For a long time during the co-authorship, he just stared at this face and questioned why they are a group of children?

Ding Bai's eyes caught Chen Zhifei's flashing smile, and asked why this guy still looks like this?

The middle-aged man led them upstairs and began to arrange accommodation: "The accommodation in our courtyard is very tight, so you need four of you to squeeze into one room."

"Originally there were twelve of you, but we haven't found two more people, and it is estimated that they will not come back, so there will be two beds vacant in one room among you."

After speaking, the middle-aged man began to allocate rooms. The distribution of rooms was probably in order, so Ding Bai and Chen Zhifei, the child who had arrived last, were allocated to the same room.

"Huh." The middle-aged man looked at their room, "Shouldn't there be two vacant beds? Why is only one vacant?"

He said it was strange, but he didn't go into it. When he left, he only told them: "All activities should be carried out according to the schedule in the room. After turning off the lights, don't run around. Otherwise, if you run away again, no one will come." I'm looking for you."

After the middle-aged man left, a copper bell rang outside the door, and the lights in the room went out with a snap.

After a while, there was another ray of light in the room.

Ding Bai looked at the candle in front of him in surprise, the lighter in the hand of the seven or eight-year-old child had just gone out.

"Yes, you are very thoughtful." Ding Bai couldn't help but want to give the child a thumbs up, and then he thought that he is also a little kid now, so he asked, "My name is Ding Bai, what do you think?" what is it call?"

"Du Qi." After finishing speaking, Du Qi ran to a bed and sat down properly. "Then I will choose this bed first. I don't like to be by the window."

"Okay, as you like." Ding Bai said, walking to the window, Chen Zhifei was looking out at something.

It was pitch black outside, and a candle light was reflected on the glass. Outside the window was the back mountain when they came, and the wind was howling, and they couldn't see what was outside at all.

"Did that person just say that there is a schedule in the room?" Chen Zhifei asked, and Ding Bai nodded.He found the schedule behind the door.

Chen Zhifei just glanced at the schedule, then quickly turned around and blew out the candles on the table. Du Qi and Ding Bai were about to ask him what he was doing, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Someone stood outside the door and shouted: "Who secretly lit the candle!"
