Findings at sea

Tinghuan Langyuan was the old mansion of the Du family. It was a classical pavilion-style building. Cuilangxuan and Bixi Pavilion really looked like a red building. On weekdays, only Du Ziming and his personal doctor lived there.Du Ziming's health is poor, and he is not particularly cold-tolerant in winter. The whole house is equipped with underfloor heating, and it is still slightly cool in spring. Once you enter the gate of the house, you will be in a warm place. It seems like summer weather. All the flowers and trees in the middle of the Langyuan are in bloom. Chunjing is also exciting, but because of a sick master, she loses a little vitality.

Mu Ke said that Ruoyu's white is the white of cabbage gangzi, fair and juicy, not the sickly white of Qiao Ming, like a white jade that has been processed badly, it doesn't look warm at all.Fortunately, Langyuan was warm and humid, so Du Ziming's face looked warmer, and he always smiled slightly, so being with him didn't make people feel uncomfortable.

Ruoyu lifted up the light green slippery silk pajama pants, lying flat on the dry and warm quilt, panting lightly.Leaving Champs, he was so happy that he kicked his legs and giggled unconsciously.

Mu Ke broke into the door, Ruoyu sat up cross-legged, and saw that Mu Ke was dressed exactly the same as him, rushing to his bed with boldness.Ruoyu kicked him, "What are you doing here if you're not sleeping?"

Mu Ke held his feet, squeezed them, put his buttocks on the bed like a grinding wheel and turned around, then lay down on his heels comfortably and said, "I want to sleep, but I want to be here... …Hold!"

Seeing a pair of feet rubbing against his head and face, Mu Ke reached out and grabbed Ruoyu's trousers and pulled off his pajamas, "It was still soft like a persimmon in the afternoon, but now it's exciting, isn't it? I kick in my mouth."

Ruoyu's lower body suddenly felt cold, and quickly curled up her legs to get into the bed, but her ankle was caught, one leg found shelter, and the other leg was exposed naked, and then kicked twice, lifted the quilt and shrank in. , Close your eyes and doze off.

Mu Ke's back was pressed against the bed, wriggling and arching upwards like a bug, lying on his side, two fingers went up Ruoyu's arm one after the other, poking his face, Seeing that Ruoyu didn't respond, she walked down the neck and scratched his armpit again, Ruoyu took his hand away, "Hey, don't make trouble with me."

Tell him to be good, but he is not good.Mu Ke made a fuss, reaching into the bed and ripping at his little underpants.Ruoyu grasped it tightly, stood up, picked up the pajama pants and jumped off the bed.

The wild bird is born white, but always wears red flowers and willow green. The red one is a small pepper, and the green one is a water cabbage. , "You come up!"

Ruoyu just put on his trousers and ignored Mu Ke, Mu Ke was left out and rushed over, hugged him horizontally.Ruoyu's body was stretched like a steel bar, and Mu Ke pushed him up like a stretched dough, and it was still a steel bar when he fell back into his hands. This time he really had nothing to do, and put him back on the bed.Ruoyu knows very well that the more you quarrel with him, the more he will quarrel with you, so he just ignores it.

Mu Ke slapped him on the face, but there was no response, he reached into his pajamas and twisted his nipples, and there was no response when he rubbed his ass, as if he was molesting a beautiful corpse.

Mu Ke lay down on the side and began to mutter, "It's over, it's over, Ye Que'er has grown up, I'm used to him so much that he dares to pretend to be dead for me, it's over, it's over..."

When Ji Xingtang came back at night, Langyuan was very quiet, the lights in Ruoyu's room were still on, he looked in through the small window, and Mu Ke's legs hooked Ruoyu's sleeping fragrance, so he had no choice but to turn off the lights to hide Door.When Ji Xingtang came out of the shower, he could see a few fireflies in the rose bushes under the cool moonlight. He took a deep breath, and everything would start again.

It was already midnight, Ji Xingtang was about to go back to rest, when he heard a rustling sound and two coughs, it was Du Ziming.

Ji Xingtang turned around and saw Du Ziming sitting in a wheelchair wearing a thick woolen sweater and a mink coat. He walked over quickly, grabbed the handle of the wheelchair and pushed him into the room, "Brother Tianbao, you are so late It’s not good, why did you run out by yourself?”

Du Ziming was so angry, his face was pale under the moonlight, like Bai Wuchang, his double eyelids were deep and his crescent moon curved into a smile, and now he said with a shallow smile, "A Tang, I have been waiting for you for a long time before you come back. Come out and take a look."

Hearing this, Ji Xingtang felt ashamed. When Brother Tianbao was worried for him, he was having sex with others, "I, I'm fine. I'll send you back to rest."

Du Ziming waved his hand, "No, I drank some wine, took laudanum, and took some medicine when I came out. I'm still in good spirits. Go and rest. The room is too stuffy. I want to relax in the courtyard for a while."

Ji Xingtang knew that Du Ziming had been relying on drugs to lift his spirits. He was not addicted to opium like Ruoyu, but had to rely on this thing to continue his life, no wonder.Ji Xingtang has been persuading him not to drink alcohol, but Brother Tianbao only has this hobby, who knows how long he can live, if he can taste all the good wines in the world, his life will not be in vain.From childhood to adulthood, no one in the Du family mansion argued with him, not disdain but dare, who would dare to argue with him, a short-lived ghost who would die if he took a breath, would be unlucky if he got involved, and only Ji Xingtang was with him get closer.

Ji Xingtang didn't say much, just said, "I'll accompany you, I'll rest after you rest."

Du Ziming laughed again, patted the back of Ji Xingtang's hand, looked at Little Liuying and said, "Atang, you used to like to sit on the stone steps with your arms around me and watch these little things in the summer."

At that time, innocent and innocent, the sky and night were as cool as water.Brother Hong caught a lot of small glowing things and put them in a glass cover. He blew out the kerosene lamps at night to watch them glow. He fell asleep watching them. The next day the fireflies turned into dead little things. Beetle, he still had to cry hypocritically, and Brother Hong asked him if he liked it?If you like it, you won’t catch it anymore, just watch the fluorescent film of the blockbuster, it’s so beautiful.Brother Tianbao can still go out and do some activities, so he wants to take his pale and cool hand to watch together.

After thinking about it for a long time, Ji Xingtang blurted out and asked, "Do you like it?"

It takes fifty days for Xiaozhu to break through the pupa and become an insect, but the average lifespan is only five days, just like love.Bai Xiaohong is Liu Ying in his heart, bad and beautiful, but locked in his heart, he will soon suffocate to death like Liu Ying in a glass cover.

Qiao Ming said shallowly, "I like it."

Ji Xingtang said, "If you like it, I'll take you to see a big movie."

Du Ziming sneered, and said, "Tao Ran's pavilion is in ruins, where can I see it?"

Ji Xingtang took care of Xuan Baoer and her sick brother in Langyuan. When Xuan Baoer was not addicted, flies circled around her, and when she was addicted, she would not let herself touch her.The sick brother is too weak and still likes to drink, he is either asleep or drunk, he is at ease.When I went out, I went to find my handsome uncle and my friend. The beautiful uncle introduced him to the business giants in the flour, securities, textile, and gold industries. When I was free, I went to talk to my friend.He has never been so full and empty, nor has he been so reborn.

The gate of the Bai Mansion was closed, and Bai Xiaohong was the only one. Ever since Ji Xingtang left, he hadn't seen anyone. Apart from going to bed with people, drinking and painting, he listened to his eyeliner report on Ji Xingtang's whereabouts.The people on the bed are well-behaved and can say warm words, and none of them look like Ji Xingtang, not even a small mole on their face.He wants to drink up all the wine brought from Ji Xingtang, and swallow all the famous wines and treasures as Erguotou.He painted heaven and earth and painted people warming the bed, but he didn't paint Ji Xingtang. He drew his outline unconsciously when he was drunk, and coughed up blood in a rage.The eyeliner told him that the second master had been very close to Xu Baoshan and Su Shaojiu recently, and he hummed nonchalantly.

Since Ji Xingtang wants to live a good life with Su Shaojiu, he must get rid of his gambling addiction. Gambling addiction is the same as smoking addiction, and it is a bottomless pit.In the evening, he arranged for Brother Tianbao to go out after sleeping. In the evening, he asked Su Shaojiu to take him to gamble.There were acquaintances in the British and French concessions, but the two of them did not go with each other, so they went to a casino called Qichongtian in the public concession one after the other.

Su Shaojiu is willing to socialize and dresses very modernly.With open arms, a blue thin line sweater with a plaid shirt and white suit trousers, young and beautiful.Ji Xingtang always wears a black suit with a lot of buttons, and a thin woolen top hat.The two met at the gate of Qichongtian, and as usual they only walked side by side without any physical contact.

When you enter the casino, you will be greeted by the smell of alcohol and tobacco. The lobby on the first floor is full of people, and gamblers gather around the gaming table in groups, shouting and betting chips on the table.Then, one by one stretched their necks, staring at the poker, dice, and Pai Gow on the table with blood-red eyes.Every time the dealer showed his cards, there were sighs of disappointment and howls of excitement, wave after wave.

Su Shaojiu hated this kind of exciting scene the most, and grabbed Ji Xingtang's shoulders and plunged into the crowd. Su Shaojiu lifted his suitcase, "30."

Ji Xingtang took out a 5 yuan note from his pocket, which he took from the Central Bank in the afternoon, and it was brand new with Sun Yat-sen's face printed on it.

How many people gambled a lot of money like him, and in the end the pants they lost would not be guaranteed. Ji Xingtang said, "Ten bets and nine cheats. Gambling is a thousand tricks. If you don't know a thousand tricks, you will lose. If you gamble or not, I will give you a little bit." Sweetness, you can’t play with the tricksters in the casino.” Ji Xingtang raised her eyebrows and looked at him provocatively, but said calmly, “I’m here, every bet is sure to win, and 5 yuan can open your eyes and let you see and see.” What is gambling?"

Su Shaojiu hugged his neck and secretly kissed his ear, "It's a gamble, if you win more, I'll let you do what you say, if I win more, tonight... huh?"

Ji Xingtang turned her head and blew on his cochlea, "It's okay if you don't gamble."

In the crowded hall, more than a dozen burly men in uniforms wandered around the casino, occasionally pushing a few gamblers who had lost all their money and no one was willing to lend them money out of the casino.There are also seven or eight young and beautiful waiters serving tea and water to the guests.Perhaps the casino owner is dressed in a very ordinary way and hides in the crowd, always keeping a close eye on his position.

Amidst the sound of mahjong clattering, a tall and straight man who looked like a withered pine walked in the door. He wore a big mink belt and sunglasses, drank a cigar, and a big gold chain was hung around his neck, followed by two bodyguards. Greedy people, when the box is opened, 500 million foreign tickets.Su Shaojiu felt contemptuous when she saw this kind of person, and Ji Xingtang also laughed. A real expert dresses up more ordinary than ordinary people. He doesn't lose face when he loses, and he doesn't worry about pickpockets when he wins. This kind of ostentatious one looks like a waste of money. of.

The two of them went to the gambling table, and the banker was the banker of the casino. Apart from the other gamblers, there was also the man who was full of oil just now.The bundles of banknotes piled on the table contained slips of paper stating whose money it was and how much it was.Ji Xingtang's 5 yuan was covered with a piece of paper that said "Su Tang". Su Shaojiu piled up a bunch of banknotes and stamped "Ji Jiu".

The first thing to play is dice. People who go to casinos are not satisfied with betting on one dice. There are three dice in the dice cup.The gamblers started to place bets, betting money on the big and small betting areas. Su Shaojiu bet big without hesitation, and said, "Brother, you bet small."

Ji Xingtang smiled and didn't place a bet.The dealer started to shake the dice cup, and there was a bang, bang, bang, jerk. Ji Xingtang listened attentively, all the energy in his body was concentrated in his ears.

"Boom" the dealer pressed the dice cup on the gaming table, twitched his moustache and said with a smile, "If you buy it, you lose ten. If you don't change your bet, the cup will be opened."

Some people at the gaming table also had some tricks when listening to the dice. After changing the bet, some people were eager to move and obviously lacked confidence.Ji Xingtang whispered in Su Shaojiu's ear, "Four o'clock, bet on Xiao."

Su Shaojiu couldn't figure out why, he always believed that gambling depends on luck, which is exciting enough, he never had the habit of changing bets, and Ji Xingtang didn't say much about betting the banker's ticket.The dice cup became the target of public criticism. Everyone stared at the small dice cup. Some people flushed with blood, and clenched their hands tightly. When the shaker tank was opened, the dealer shouted, "Small!"

All eyes looked into the dice cup, "One point, one point, two points."

Once the outcome has been decided, someone will pick up the money on the table to the winner with a wooden pickle, while the loser can only stare at the blood red eyes and continue to take out money from the box.

Supernatural, Su Shaojiu looked at Ji Xingtang in amazement, and Ji Xingtang calmly put the chip in front of him, and he doubled it ten times, and he had 50 in his hand in an instant.Su Shaojiu said, "Brother...how do you know it's four o'clock...are you cheating?"

Ji Xingtang flicked his forehead, and put the 20 in his hand into his own chips, "No, I will listen to the dice, and I will listen to the next one. 70 all-in, if you win, you will leave."

Playing dice, no one has placed such a big bet at once, Su Shaojiu nodded in shock, and the eyes of the gamblers around him also brightened, increasing their chips.

For the second hand, Ji Xingtang said, "Fifteen o'clock, bet big."

Turn on the rocker, four o'clock, five o'clock, six o'clock.

Su Shaojiu watched Hongmu Pao push the 700 million chips in front of him, his eyes were round, his throat kept rolling up and down, hesitant to speak, watching Ji Xingtang kiss him suddenly, "Brother...Brother...Brother !"

Ji Xingtang was bumped to one side, hurriedly stood firm, pursed her lips in embarrassment, looked at the tiger-like gazes of the people around her, squeezed Su Shaojiu's arm tightly, and whispered, "Don't get excited, let's go."

Just as the two left the table, the man pouted the cigarette butt out of his mouth. He also won two hands, but he didn't dare to place such a big bet. Now he still has 700 million in his hand. He felt that the two of them were blatantly provoking him. "Stop," came a rough and menacing voice.

"A man of high art is bold. Seeing that the two little brothers have made extraordinary moves, it is better to ask for advice." It was obvious that the two of them were mistaken, and this old man also had the confidence to flaunt his way through the market.

Each person has 700 million chips and rolls the dice to see who has the most points.Muxiu is bound to be destroyed by Lin Feng, and Ji Xingtang knows that he is going to get into trouble. As soon as he makes a move, he can be seen by experts as a veteran. In addition, the dice in the casino are filled with lead, so how many times do you want to roll? Su Shaojiu pulled aside and said, "Shaojiu, let me tell you, the deeper the sound, the smaller the dice, and the deeper and clearer the sound of one point, you roll it. We can't cause trouble, anyway, we are not greedy for money and just play. It's exciting, don't be nervous, if he is Qianshou, you are sure to lose."

Su Shaojiu didn't believe in listening to dice skills, his eyes had been opened just now, and now he was eager to try, he didn't care whether he won or lost, he just said a word for Ji Xingtang, don't embarrass him in front of him, and showed him three points.

The two sat opposite each other, the shaking jar in their hands was not only rattling, but also glowing with resplendent and golden light.There was a deafening bang and bang, and Big Brother's wrist was so strong that he seemed to shake every dice to pieces.Ji Xingtang was standing opposite, and it was the first time for Su Shaojiu to shake while listening. Yubai's cheeks were covered with sweat and redness, his wrists were numb from shaking, and his ears were still struggling to distinguish the sound under the eyes of everyone.

Big Brother slapped the shaker on the gaming table.Hearing that his count was not right, Ji Xingtang couldn't help but frowned. He said he wanted to bet big, but the count in his shaker was extremely small. First, three dice were stacked together, and the moment he stopped the shaker was broken. After picking one, Ji Xingtang couldn't help being startled, "... a little..."

Su Shaojiu looked at Ji Xingtang, Ji Xingtang felt that there was a mystery in the big brother's jar, so he was a little distracted, but he also clearly heard that what was in Su Shaojiu's shaker jar was "one, two, two."

The crowd watched the two confront each other. Su Shaojiu finally shook the jar and slapped it on the gambling table. Ji Xingtang smiled at him, "One o'clock, one o'clock, two o'clock."

"Open!" The dealer shouted loudly.

Su Shaojiu opened the vat, and "one point, one point, two points" was exposed in front of everyone, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Hey - I dare to gamble with this ability" "What's so exciting for so long?" "Didn't shake three Haha." Everyone laughed, Su Shaojiu didn't care, and seeing Ji Xingtang's smile, she hooked her nose and giggled.

People were waiting for the big brother to open the cylinder, and the moment the shaking cylinder was unveiled, the crowd became restless again, "Look at this momentum, three six points are sure to win", "One six points will prevent the yellow-haired boy from coming to the stage", but The moment the vat was opened, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Ji Xingtang couldn't help being shocked. He saw that one dice was shaken and shattered, and the other two were stacked on top of each other. The number on the top dice was one.

The big brother laughed loudly twice, "This little brother has four points, someone Feng has one point, the little brother wins", he pushed the 700 million to the other side of the gaming table with a loud bang, gathered the mink fur coat, Before leaving coolly, he patted Ji Xingtang on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I heard what my little brother and brother said, and it is tacit understanding who will win."

After a pause, Ji Xingtang said awkwardly, "Dare to ask my brother's name."

The man took off his sunglasses, a deep scar at the corner of his eye extended to the hairline, his sharp eyes caught everyone, "I, Feng Youqiao, nice to meet you."

Ji Xingtang's back was hot and sweaty, and he smiled and bowed his hands in salute, "My lord, Ji Xingtang, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have offended you just now, and the money belongs to the original owner. Brother Feng, please take care of me."

Feng Youqiao snorted and passed by.

Ji Xingtang didn't know anything else, only that Feng Youqiao was the leader of the Axe Gang, who hated evil like a vengeance and killed people like hemp. No one in the Qinghong Gang dared to fight against him, and no one dared to provoke him. When he joined the gang, the old man had warned him not to provoke the Axe Gang. people.This time she played tricks on him, bumped his gun, and didn't want any money, so she hurriedly dragged Su Shaojiu to her territory.

If you can run away, you can't get away with fame. Now the entire International Settlement knows that the two brothers Su Tang and Ji Jiu won a gold slam three times, and the gamblers fought for the Seventh Heaven Casino. It was so chaotic that people were almost killed.People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. They wanted to keep a low profile and lose money and leave.

Afterwards, Ji Xingtang raised 400 million yuan and sent it to Feng Youqiao's house in person, but Feng Youqiao took the money and did not see him.Ji Xingtang told Su Shao 9000 million to restrain himself, just pretend not to know.The two of them didn't step out of the French Concession for three days. Fortunately, the Concession is a country within a state that does not interfere with each other, and there is no rumor that the French Concession is too tight.

Ji Xingtang was a little futile, now he was really poor and heavily in debt, he was determined not to gamble again, and he could only follow Su Shaojiu's advice.
