Chapter 32: Redemption
Yang Jiu didn't think about whether Lige was stumped by something.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that this idea is a bit self-defeating.
First, there is no motive for leaving the song. The excuse for leaving at that time is not verifiable, but ninety percent of it is false. Second, Lige is famous, and his strength is definitely not bad, even if he can't use his internal strength, but that kid is flexible in his skills and brain, and it is difficult for Yang Jiu to imagine anything that can trap him. Lige is not stupid, and will go to the trouble of the master. His kind of person, even if he encounters an enemy who kills his father, he will never rush forward with a kitchen knife.
Forget it, it's already happened, and it's useless to think about it more.
Yang Jiu planned to continue to look at the righteous path conference here, so he thought, let go of the song for the time being.
Although the incident of leaving the song happened, it did not affect Yang Jiu's plan, and today's task is to go to the casino to win money.
Yang Jiu counted yesterday's income, and there were nearly two hundred taels left.
"Fortunately, the money for leaving the song is also here with labor and management, otherwise it will be a loss! Damn, labor and management are too prescient! Gotta give yourself 32 likes! β
When the poor were finished, Yang Jiu went to the casino with the silver. But today, I didn't go to the Bright Sky Casino, but the second largest casino in Los Angeles, the Crazy Casino.
In fact, the personality of the owner can be seen from the style of a place. For example, the Yaotian Casino is the industry of Diyao, a legendary daffodil, and it takes the luxury route. This crazy casino, just listen to the name and know that it is Shenma style, right? Anyway, as soon as Yang Jiu entered, he was shocked by the full dark tone!
However, these are not what Yang Jiu is interested in.
He is only responsible for turning one hundred and eighty-six taels of silver here, and then to eighteen thousand six hundred taels.
Walk with a high odds of 1 to ten, and you can retire with two successes. Yang Jiu has perspective cheating, it can't be too easy! When others see his gambling spirit, they almost have to kneel!
The only thing worth saying is that the second Yang Jiu was no problem at the beginning, but the dealer was a master, and when he heard that the number of dice was wrong, he wanted to use internal force to shake out a thousand people. Fortunately, Yang Jiu popped out a current the moment he opened the lid, otherwise it would have been wonderful today!
But now I can't think of it without being noticed by the casino! Of course, they didn't see how Yang Jiu made a move, but this didn't affect their attention to Yang Jiu, the obvious biggest beneficiary!
Then Yang Jiu was invited upstairs.
At the moment before being asked to leave, Yang Jiu thought about the recent mood index and patience range, and with a wipe of his face, he changed his image.
Of course, there is no such cheating as the elder brother, who directly plays transformation, that is, the eyebrows are raised, the neck is raised, and the eyes are obliquely down 45 degrees to look at people, and the nostrils are almost facing the sky. The steps are vain, the face is pale (to control the blood flow), and the whole second ancestor who takes eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling as his life's work.
"Childe is affectionate." The little servant led Yang Jiu to a room on the third floor.
Yang Jiu snorted, entered the door with long legs, and didn't even say hello. The servant closed the door and left. Only Yang Jiu and the boss who "invited" him over were left in the room.
A man in his early thirties, his appearance is not unusual, but there is a cunning characteristic of a businessman in his eyes. When Yang Jiu came in, he scanned the information that Yang Jiu had expressed. But smart people don't make arbitrary decisions because of appearances, so they need to be further contacted.
"I'm the owner of this crazy casino, Li Junyi. You can call me Boss Li. I don't know what the little boy is called? β
"Humph! It's not allowed to add a small print in front of this son! The name of the master can be known by the owner of a small casino! Hurry up and say something! I'll be there later...... Ahem, something's wrong! β
Li Junyi has seen a lot of this kind of deference, and Yang Jiu's arrogant attitude can't arouse him to change his mood at all.
"Oh yes, then I'm not going to talk nonsense. There is a lot of money at the table you are at today, I don't know what you think about this? β
Yang Jiu's face was shocked, but he immediately pretended to be calm. "You haven't even found out that the casino is out of the house! It's because you don't have the ability to do it yourself, what's my business! Suddenly, as if he thought of something, his face was abrupt, and then he said vigilantly, "Tell you, it's someone else who is out of the way, and it's you who didn't find out, and I won this money back by myself!" It's my own! If you dare to rob my money, I'll go out and tell everyone that you have a black hand in the casino, and you won't admit it! β
Li Junyi smiled kindly disapprehantly. "This money is yours, we will not take it. Just to clear your suspicions, please cooperate. β
Yang Jiu frowned unhappily, and then asked, "What for?" β
"Just let me take the pulse."
"I'm not sick, why do I need to take my pulse!" Yang Jiu blurted out.
ββ¦β¦ You misunderstood, I am here to probe your inner strength. β
ββ¦β¦ That...... Okay. But I warn you not to attack me! Otherwise, I'll go back and tell my dad and let him block your casino! Then he reluctantly stretched out his right wrist to Li Junyi.
There is no surprise, there is no internal force at all, and the qi and blood are quite lost.
Combined with Yang Jiu's age, which didn't look very old, the last bit of doubt in Li Junyi's heart was dispelled.
"Heh, it's not Childe. How offended! β
"Humph!" Yang Jiu was arrogant, and then under the leadership of the little guy recruited by Li Junyi, he was respectfully sent out of the crazy casino.
After Yang Jiu left, Li Junyi asked his subordinates to investigate and analyze the other people in that gambling game. But out of the last bit of vigilance, he also sent a person who was good at hiding and tracking to follow Yang Jiu for a while, and saw that Yang Jiu really entered the Qingxue Pavilion that he almost blurted out just now, and after waiting for a while, he still didn't come out, and then he returned to his life.
Although it was a little strange that Yang Jiu went to the pavilion during the day, but combined with Yang Jiu's image, he felt that his attention could be completely diverted.
At this point, it looks like the matter can be over.
And when Yang Jiu arrived at the Qingxue Pavilion, of course, he let people notify Hongye as soon as possible.
"I didn't expect to meet again so soon, Childe is really anxious."
"In order to get a beautiful woman back as soon as possible~~"
"Light dust is a blessing."
"Maybe I'm trying to sell it for a high price?"
"Uh...... Childe is really good at laughing. Momiji smiled meaningfully, "Childe is not that kind of person. β
Yang Jiu snorted and stopped continuing this boring topic. "Alright, let's get down to business. Boss Red, can you trade? β
"Nature." Hongye said, turning over a piece of paper on the table and pushing it in front of Yang Jiu. Yang Jiu glanced at it casually and knew that it was Qingchen's deed of sale.
Then Yang Jiu also took out the silver tickets that he had exchanged for ten denominations of one thousand taels from his arms and put them in front of Hongye.
"Happy trading." Yang Jiu hooked his lips and smiled. "Then no more bother, farewell." Turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute."
Yang Jiu waited for the following.
"Treat him well, Qingchen is a good boy."
Yang Jiu didn't want to pay attention to these unconstructive words, but when he saw the loneliness in Hongye's eyes, he somehow said again: "There are still people above Boss Hong, right?" Aren't you afraid of being discovered? Since you can't do it to purify all sentient beings, then live your own life...... By the way, you're not a good fit for red. After saying that, he turned around and left.
Momiji looked at the direction of the door steadily, was silent for a long time, and finally only smiled bitterly.
And Yang Jiu naturally found the light dust room, and directly swaggered open the door.
Seeing Yang Jiu, an uninvited guest, Qingchen was surprised! The books in my hand fell to the ground.
Yang Jiu strode over, picked up the book and glanced at the name on the book cover, Anling Customs and History. The name is so serious, it really disappoints him...... Ya's little man actually didn't see it as a holy object like gold/bottle/plum! What a bad moral!
Xiaobai: ......
[By the way, Xiaobai, there is no gold/bottle/plum in this world, there should also be a silver bottle, right?] At all times, human needs should be the same...... Tsk, why don't I devote myself to the cause of humanities and arts! Maybe you can even become a gold medal writer and establish a national fan group! ]
[β¦β¦ It's good if you're happy. ]
Although Yang Jiu's brain hole was wide, it didn't affect him to look normal. At this moment, he was also paying attention to Qingchen, and after the kid reacted, he stood up and bowed to him. Seeing Yang Jiu's eyebrows jumping.
"Boy, look up at me."
Although Qingchen was timid, he was well trained, and he did not resist Yang Jiu's order at all. But the so-called nature is difficult to change, that is to say, he is like this, even if he looks at Yang Jiu directly, his expression is as if he has seen a flood beast.
Yang Jiu felt his teeth itch.
"Boy, are you a man?"
"Naturally, naturally yes!"
Yang Jiu finally nodded with some satisfaction, but it was hopeless. Sure enough, even a man can't stand others doubting his manhood! Of course, shemales and people with gender dysphoria are not considered.
"Well, since you are a man, you have to look like a man! You do what I say! Chest! Rise! Look ahead! β
Yang Jiu said loudly, and Qingchen didn't have any temperament, so he did it very cooperatively. But what made Yang Jiu's heart stuffed was that the standard military standing posture could actually be made by this kid Qingchen to make a weak willow and help the wind!
Yang Jiu felt that! This is a long-term illness!
"Light Dust!"
"Eh~"
"You have to answer 'yes'! - Light Dust! β
"Yes~"
"Be louder!"
"Yes!" However, even with the use of accents, the volume is still too low.
Yang Jiu pinched his eyebrows, feeling that he had a long way to go. However, in the future, it is not necessary to be the orthodontist himself.
And Qingchen is also bitter and self-aware. Glancing at Yang Jiu, he glanced out of the door while Yang Jiu wasn't paying attention. Yang Jiu didn't close the door when he came in, so he could see the situation outside.
Fortunately, it was still early, and everyone was catching up on sleep, otherwise Qingchen felt that he would definitely be watched. But at this time, there is as quiet as ever outside during the day, so what is this boy doing?
Could it be that what he said last night was true?
No way......
However, no matter how Qingchen said to himself that it was impossible, there was a corner of his heart that longed for it to be true. No one wants their best time to be wasted here, and although he was sold into the Snow Pavilion at a very young age, he also longs for the outside world! Aspire to live the life of an ordinary person!
Of course, ordinary people's lives are light and dusty, and he doesn't have to think about it...... In his opinion, even if Yang Jiu really ransomed him, he couldn't change his fate of serving men.
Yang Jiu was a little crying and laughing when he saw Qingchen's expectant little eyes. This kid is quite bold when he is simple.
But there's no need to sell off.
Yang Jiu took out the deed of sale that had just arrived from his sleeve, threw it on the table, and motioned to Qingchen with his eyes to take it for confirmation.
Although Qingchen was still a little afraid to move in front of Yang Jiu, he really couldn't bear the desire in his heart, took the thin piece of paper in his hand, and looked at it carefully, word by word. The eyes grew brighter and darker, and then the tears rolled out like broken threads.
Yang Jiu opened his mouth, originally wanting to say how he would play and abuse him if he bought it, so that he could play tricks on him, but when he saw Qingchen's silent crying, he suddenly felt bored.
Where does a man's mind come from so many things that can be used to be sad? Yang Jiu played with his fingers, thinking boredly.
Because the light dust standing next to him has been crying for almost five minutes!
"Knock-" Finally, the little man was almost crying, and he remembered his reborn parents. However, the expression was a little too intense, and he knelt on the ground directly in front of Yang Jiu.
With a hoarse voice, he swore loyalty and gratitude to Yang Jiu. "Thank you Childe for redeeming Qingchen, Qingchen will be Childe's person from now on! Qingchen will serve his son for life, and he has no two hearts! β
Yang Jiu collected his slender fingers, turned around to face Qingchen, raised Erlang's legs, and looked at the people on the ground condescendingly. "You're a bit bold in what you say, I thought you spoke like a mosquito."
Qingchen, who lowered his head, seemed to have calmed down a little from his excitement when he heard this, and his ears couldn't help but turn red, and his head was lower.
Yang Jiu snorted. "Give me something."
Qingchen respectfully handed over the deed of sale. As long as the son who redeemed himself holds this piece of paper for one day, he belongs to him for one day......
"Shhh
Yang Jiu tore the paper that carried the fate of Qingchen's life to shreds with a nonchalant face.
Light dust shocked! It wasn't until the snowflake-like fragments were scattered all over the ground that he found his voice: "Gong, Gongzi! This...... This is Qingchen's deed of sale! It's ...... if it's torn," but suddenly came back to his senses, and said instead, "It's Qingchen who has lost his square inch, and Childe is going to rewrite it, right?" I'm going to fetch the cinnabar......"
"No need. You're free now, the sea and the sky are as you go, isn't the kid happy? Yang Jiu tilted his body, one hand on the table and his cheeks, his expression was as cold as if the one who spent 10,000 taels to ransom people and then released them for free was not him.
Qingchen's face was incredulous.
But Yang Jiu didn't give him more time to digest and began to arrange future plans for him. "Do you have any friends or relatives in Los Angeles or outside the city, even if they are good friends?"
"No, no. Qingchen fled to Los Angeles with his parents when he was a child, and his hometown is far away. Qingchen was still a little stunned.
Yang Jiu sighed, paused before continuing: "Then I'll find you an ordinary family without a son in the future." There may be people in L.A. who know you and won't be nice to you in the future. I still have some things to do in Los Angeles during this time, so you stay with me first. β
Listening to Yang Jiu's arrangement, even if Qingchen wanted to hypnotize himself, the other party was making fun of himself, but he felt that it was unrealistic.
It's true?! I've met a great benevolent person?! Has Light Dust finally been favored by the gods?!
At this moment, Qingchen felt unprecedented excitement and joy!
Listening to Yang Jiu's words in his ears, his mind has already begun to imagine his free and colorful life in the future! He can travel to many places and experience the customs of different places; You can meet all kinds of people and make friends with like-minded people with a straight back; You can find a woman who is in love, get married, have children, and form a family......
Yang Jiu shut up, propped his head and looked at the wonderful facial expression of the kid in front of him who was always timid and lowered his eyebrows at the moment, the longing and happiness were almost tired of him, an old man with no dreams!
Tsk, it's good to be young.
Silly and naΓ―ve, Too young, too simple Tucson broken.
When Qingchen came back to his senses, he was facing Yang Jiu's eyes with no emotion. Those eyes that were darker than ink, deeper than night.
Qingchen thought that he was distracted when the other party was talking, and lowered his head in embarrassment. Rubbing his sleeves, he looked up and peeked at Yang Jiu from time to time.
"I said, if you want to say anything, just say it, don't look like a little woman is pregnant, labor and management look disgusting."
Qingchen was very obviously stunned, and the force of pinching his sleeve was a little greater.
"You don't have to make a living in this mansion now, slowly learn to treat people like an ordinary man. Otherwise, even if you go to a place where no one knows you in the future, you will still be exposed. Also, the man has gold under his knees, is it comfortable for you to kneel? β
In this case, there is already a bit of a sincere teaching in it. Moved and grateful quickly replaced the embarrassment and discomfort just now, Qingchen took a breath, and mustered up the courage to stand up without Yang Jiu's clear answer. Then I tried to raise my voice a little bit and asked the question that had been bothering me since yesterday.
"Gong, Gongzi, why did you redeem ...... What about helping light dust? β
Yang Jiu fell on the table more and more bonelessly. "Who knows, you're going to be on my whim."
Qingchen pursed his lips, although his intuition was impossible, but he didn't see what Yang Jiu's purpose was, so he very consciously positioned Yang Jiu as a helpful and benevolent person.
If Yang Jiu knew that Qingchen would give him such a good evaluation, I'm afraid he would have changed his mouth and said a bunch of ugly things just now!
"Nothing to say, right? If not, just pack up and get ready to get out of here. After Yang Jiu said this, he completely stood on the table, and turned his head and no longer looked at the dust.
Although it is awkward to do things in front of unfamiliar people, Qingchen also knows that this is not the time to be hypocritical. I happily began to rummage through the cabinets.
Well, you don't need to bring all the things that have the characteristics of the Qingxue Pavilion, such as some jade products, and some clothes that can't be worn out...... I have to follow Childe during this time, and I can't bring too many things to cause trouble for Childe, so I can't bring some large things sent by my brothers...... Of course, the most important thing is the gold and silver jewelry that has been saved over the years, although there are not many because there are no official customers, but it is better than nothing......
Qingchen's side was busy, and Yang Jiu's side was bored and about to grow mushrooms.
[Hey, sure enough, summer just makes people unmotivated......] Yang Jiu complained weakly to Xiaobai.
Xiaobai rolled his eyes silently: When you left the song yesterday, you were still so energetic and a demon for a day!
Xiaobai ignored him, and Yang Jiu was still laughing at himself. [The original plan was to go to his lair with Lige first to detoxify the poison, and then if the stealing teacher succeeded, he would go to Wuti Town to find Lu Xiuran.] Now it's suddenly fine, when the righteous path conference here is over, the limelight over there should also be completely stopped, so let's deal with Lu Xiuran's affairs first......]
[Then, Lord Silver, what should I do about this deviant song?] ]
[What to do?] Think about it...... Well, let's talk about it, if he can't touch it in his life, he deserves a long life. ]
[Scared?!] Lord Yin, you don't plan to hunt him down to the ends of the earth?! Big news! The Lord of Silver, which my family will repay, has the intention of sparing the man who has offended him to death?!! It's going to rain!!
Wine bean sacks! Could it be that the main silver has finally awakened, and it is inevitable that he will have deep feelings above friendship with Lige?!
[Why should I waste my time running around the world for someone I hate?] Yang Jiu disagreed with Xiaobai's words, although the direction of opposition was a little wrong, [and believe that he was stupid himself, and he didn't turn my wife and children to kill my whole family, am I like the kind of coward who pushes his responsibility on others!] Yang Jiu said that he was very distressed.
yes, yes!
Although Xiaobai wanted to say this, he obediently shut up for the sake of his peaceful life. He said, how spicy and cute is its main silver! There is a long way to go...... Originally, he was expecting Lige, a guy who seemed to be more open, to push the main silver~~ Hey...... This fool who has not achieved enough and has more than enough to lose!
Xiaobai: Heartache +1
Although he was chatting with Xiaobai, Yang Jiu, the old sparrow, still paid attention to the movements of Qingchen. When he heard the noise quiet, he turned his head and saw Qingchen walking towards him with a package in his arms. However, this little guy obviously didn't expect Yang Jiu to suddenly turn around, and he was stunned again.
Yang Jiu stood up without paying attention and glanced at the floor that had been cleaned up. Then beckoned Qingchen to follow, and walked towards the door.
But when he went out, he almost collided with a person. Fortunately, Yang Jiu noticed it early and dodged away.
The man apologized again and again, and when he looked up to see Yang Jiu's appearance clearly, his eyes flashed with amazement. Just as he was about to say something more, Yang Jiu walked to the other side without looking at him.
Qingchen walked out of the room one step later, and shouted in surprise when he saw the person coming: "Brother Chu!" Didn't you take a break? Then he glanced behind the boy, "Ah! How did everyone come! β
The young man who was called Brother Chu by Qingchen was followed by five or six teenagers, and there were even two young men. Yang Jiu glanced at it just now, and he actually saw a somewhat familiar face inside, it was Rong Jun, who had betrayed Bai Mufeng's whereabouts before.
"Naturally, I heard the news that someone ransomed you. Brother Qingchen is really a blessing, and he can find a good man when he is still a virgin. Hey, it's like us......"
Speaking of this, Qingchen couldn't help but want to laugh, but he also knew that he couldn't stimulate these brothers who were still in the sea of suffering, so he lowered his head to hide the corners of his upturned mouth. "No, Childe, he ......" He wanted to explain that he was not bought by Yang Jiu as a prostitute, and the image of Yang Dashan as an upright and tall person who did not ask for anything in return needed to be established!
However, his attitude was shy in the eyes of the young man surnamed Chu and others, and he was happy and shy. directly interrupted: "Hey, you're leaving, and you'll never see you again...... Brothers can only wish you well...... Well, that boy just now is that person, right? It's really a good look, a good net worth, and a true sense of affection for you. Eh, what's that boy's name? I haven't seen him before, he must be a foreigner, do you know how long he will stay in Los Angeles? β
Qingchen looked up at the few people in front of him a little strangely, why did he keep looking at the stairs, and why did he ask Childe?
"Qingchen doesn't know, Qingchen only met Childe yesterday, and Childe also said that he was just a whim, how could he tell me so much." Besides, we'll have to go our separate ways in a few days. Qingchen added in his heart.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Qingchen felt that as soon as he said this, the eyes of several people seemed to light up a little, and there was a faint green light in broad daylight......
"Qingchen, if you miss us these days, come and see everyone, or when you leave Los Angeles, we may never ...... again."
"This ...... I'll try to find an opportunity to talk to Childe. "Well, after all, it's not a master-servant relationship, just tell me, it shouldn't stop me from coming, right?
But in the sound of the young man surnamed Chu, he would bring Yang Jiu over, after all, how could the master allow his pet to come here alone......
Finally, after getting their satisfactory answers, these people yawned goodbye to Qingchen.
The fist under Qingchen's long sleeves tightened and loosened, the look in his eyes darkened a little, and finally he just sighed slightly and walked downstairs.
It's not that he didn't notice his Chu brothers, the overly delicate makeup. At this time, if you know that you are leaving and hurry to see you off, why do you need to dress up......
Exiting the door of the Qingxue Pavilion, Qingchen quickly found the person who could be seen at a glance even in the crowd. The man was still watching the flow of people and cars coming and going, but when the light dust came out, he suddenly turned around. Well, with an impatient expression.
But with such an attitude, Qingchen magically felt at that moment that the sadness that had just overwhelmed him was like a dark cloud after the sunshine, disappearing without a trace.
Anyway, I've met my lover too, haven't I?
Qingchen stood at the door of the Qingxue Pavilion like this, smiling at Yang Jiuwan.
Originally, it was just a delicate appearance, but at that moment, there was a kind of surprise of clear water coming out of hibiscus.
"The little broken child is still beautiful when he is in the shade!" Yang Jiu muttered hatefully.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Yang Jiu found a chaos stall on the side of the road and invited Qingchen. Yang Jiu tasted it, it tasted good, no worse than those in those restaurants.
And Qingchen was very surprised to see that Yang Jiu, who looked like a noble boy from his appearance to his dress, would actually eat at a roadside stall.
After eating, Yang Jiu rushed back to the carrier inn where he lived with Qingchen. At this time, the sun is poisonous, and he can stand it, so the thin skin and tender flesh of Qingchen are estimated to hit the street.
Besides, he didn't have anything else to do, so he might as well go back to "read" the book as soon as possible. He feels that he has been a bit negative about life recently, and he urgently needs to read some tragic stories of others in novels to balance himself!
When I arrived at the carrier inn, I saw a low-key and luxurious carriage parked at the door. The boy who was driving the carriage jumped out of the carriage and took a stool from the front seat and placed it in the place where he got off. After a while, another child came out of the carriage.
Yang Jiu's chicken froze in an instant!
Because the child who came out of this carriage was none other than Honeysuckle!
So, so this is the moon string coming?!
Qingchen looked at Yang Jiu's suddenly radiant face, and was inexplicably surprised.
Yang Jiu simply couldn't wait to walk over, and Honeysuckle heard the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he was stunned. After waiting for a while, my eyes widened and I almost exclaimed!
Yang Jiu made a silent gesture and approached the carriage. The little boy who was driving the car before wanted to open his mouth to drink Yang Jiu, but when he received Honeysuckle's eyes, he could only remain silent. Stared at Yang Jiu suspiciously and warily.
With Honeysuckle's cooperation, Yang Jiu happily took Honeysuckle's original place.
At this time, a cold voice came from inside the carriage. "Honeysuckle, what's going on?"
"No, it's just that Xiao Er came to pick up the carriage." Honeysuckle glanced at Xiao Er, who had just walked to the threshold, and opened his eyes to tell nonsense.
Yang Jiu gave a thumbs up appreciatively. The kid deserves to have messed with his brother!
However, at this moment, a figure leisurely emerged from the carriage, and a white hand reached out in front of Yang Jiu. At this time, Yang Jiu was attached to the side of the bus station, which was a visual blind spot.
Yang Jiu immediately raised his hand and leaned under the white jade-like palm.
Sure enough, even in summer, these hands are still so cold. However, I feel comfortable to the touch. Yang Jiu sighed in his heart.
The touch in his hand aroused Yuexian's vigilance, and he was about to withdraw his hand immediately, but he was unexpectedly caught. Yuexian raised her eyes and looked at the smiling eyes.
