Chapter Seventy-Three: Gambling on Life
Yanzi was invited to Wanhe Casino by the shopkeeper. When Ling You saw the carriage of the Hou Mansion, he hurriedly ran forward and asked, "Is it Senior Aunt?" and gave Cui Zhiyi another salute and called Second Senior Uncle Cui.
"Yes, I'm here. Cui Zhiwei lifted the curtain and waited for the coachman to set up the stool, and stepped out of the carriage with Su Ye's support. There are people here, so she won't just jump out of the carriage. However, this time the place was more special, and she wore a hat before getting out of the car.
"It's good that my aunt is here, and my master can finally be saved. Ling You was a little excited.
"What the hell is going on? Second Senior Brother is not good at business, why are you doing here?" Cui Zhiwei asked.
"Master said he was here to hunt ghosts. Ling You explained for Li Ruosu, "But this eldest lady has to bet with the master, saying that the master won the bet before letting him help catch ghosts." ”
"Could it be that I heard it wrong?" Cui Zhiwei asked suspiciously, "Isn't it supposed that people should be begging the senior brother to catch ghosts? Why is it that the senior brother is rushing to beg for someone this time?" Wait, the other party is a young lady, what's going on?
Ling You hesitated for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't know this either. ”
"Okay," Ling You didn't want to say, so Cui Zhiwei didn't continue to embarrass him, waved his hand and asked, "Where is your master now?"
"My master is inside. ”
"That takes us there. ”
When Cui Zhiwei and Cui Zhiyi walked into a room with Ling You, seeing that Li Ruosu was eating and drinking well and being entertained very well, and did not have the consciousness of waiting to be ransomed, Cui Zhiwei and Cui Zhiyi looked at each other, and turned around and walked out.
"Alas, little junior sister, don't go, the second junior brother of the Cui family!" Seeing that their brother and sister were leaving, Li Ruosu hurriedly put down the melons and fruits in his hand and chased after them.
"Since the second senior brother is doing well here, I don't think there is any need to redeem himself, right?" Cui Zhiwei said.
"No matter how good your life is, it's useless!" Li Ruosu glanced around, "I can't go out if I want to." ”
Cui Zhiyi said in an extremely envious tone: "On the day of Senior Brother Li, how good it is that you don't have to go out to work and have someone to serve you." ”
"If you like it, try it. ”
"I thought so, but no one gave me this chance!"
"Okay," Cui Zhiwei interrupted the conversation between the two without nutrition, "Senior brother, I just want to know, what are you calling me here for?"
"Didn't I ask you to ransom me?" Li Ruosu said aggrievedly.
"How much can you worth? If it's too expensive, I can't afford it. It would be better to leave you here. ”
"You brothers and sisters!" complained a word, Li Ruosu put away her hippie smile and said with a serious face, "I don't need money to redeem me this time, I need my sister to gamble with the other party." ”
"Bet?" Cui Zhiwei raised his eyebrows, "This is really inseparable from this word when you get to the gambling house." ”
"There's no way around it, that girl is a gambler. ”
"Which girl?" Cui Zhiwei immediately burst with curiosity.
"You...... We'll find out in a moment. Li Ruosu's eyes were a little evasive.
Cui Zhiwei knew that there was a problem at a glance, but he also knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he asked: "Then what are my second brother and I going to do now?"
"Just wait here with me. ”
"It's good to have food and drink, but what about the young lady in this house?"
"Watching people gamble. Li Ruosu replied.
"Could it be a gamble between Yan Jingnian and the eldest young master of the Yao family?"
"I really don't know. ”
"But then again, what are you gambling with others to get yourself in?" Hearing Cui Zhiwei's question, Cui Zhiyi also pricked up his ears and listened.
Li Ruosu slowly spit out a word, "Life." ”
"Gambling on your life? It seems that ghost hunting or something is just a pretense?"
"Yes. Li Ruosu did not deny it.
"That's a bit of a problem. ”
"It will be very troublesome for me, but not necessarily for you, junior sister. Li Ruosu then said very solemnly, "If you help with this today, senior brother, you will be sent by you in the future." ”
"Is she really that important to you?" Cui Zhiwei's expression was extremely serious.
Li Ruosu nodded heavily, "Yes." ”
"So you want me to change my life and save her?"
"Senior brother, there is no way to do it. Li Ruosu also knew that it was a little difficult for Cui Zhiwei to do this, but he must save Xu Ruizhu's life.
He was originally from a wealthy family, but because his father was addicted to gambling, he not only lost all his family fortune, but also lost his newly pregnant mother to the gambling house. And he was unfortunately sold by his father to the small official hall, if he hadn't taken the opportunity to escape, even if he didn't die, he would have lived a dark life.
Xu Ruizhu is his own sister who has never met, but she herself does not know about it, because their mother kept this secret until she died a few years ago and did not tell anyone. The shopkeeper of this gambling house didn't know that Xu Ruizhu was not his own, and for Xu Ruizhu's good, his brother naturally wouldn't say it.
He secretly approached Xu Ruizhu to see if she was doing well, but who wanted to spy on her surroundings through the eye of the sky, but she couldn't let go of the dead air around her.
If you are not mistaken, this dead air is related to his natural life personality of having no relatives and no reason, and has been lonely all his life. His appearance instead accelerated the pace of Xu Ruizhu's death.
He couldn't watch Xu Ruizhu die, and even if he intervened, he could only change it for a while, but he couldn't change it for a lifetime. Moreover, he can only launch Xu Ruizhu's approaching death, but not her real cause of death.
And only Cui Zhiwei can do all this, so he deliberately made a bet with Xu Ruizhu and took himself, waiting for Cui Zhiwei.
At present, Cui Zhiwei doesn't know the real purpose of Li Ruosu's doing, and thinks that Li Ruosu has met true love. In fact, Li Ruosu has been teaching her for so many years, and it is rare for him to beg for himself, so he went out and said: "Find someone to send me to the room where Jingnian and the eldest young master of the Yao family gambled." ”
"What? What did you deduce?" Li Ruosu was in a very complicated mood, both excited and worried. Compared with Xu Ruizhu, although Cui Zhiwei is not his own sister, after so many years, he has long regarded her as a relative.
is also because he can't take care of his sister, so he will put more of his feelings for Xu Ruizhu into Cui Zhiwei. His unrestrained temperament is also for Cui Zhiwei to stay in Xu Yang for so long, in order to carefully teach and teach her what he has learned.
Cui Zhiwei heard him ask like this, and gave him a blank look, "Nonsense, if I don't deduce anything, why are I talking nonsense with you for a long time?"
"What kind of dumb riddle are you two playing?" Cui Zhiyi, who had been in the fog, was so anxious next to him that he couldn't do anything, "If you have anything to say, you two can just say it." It's okay not to say it, but you must not let Zhiwei be harmed. "The maintenance of Cui Zhiwei is beyond words.
