218 Gambling ruins life
Sitting in the car back to the city, Liu Bi rubbed his temples with a headache and sighed helplessly.
Maybe this is the test, if you want to break through to the god transformation realm all of a sudden, it's really not that simple. That's it, anyway, now that the threshold has been touched, it shouldn't be difficult to break through in the future.
And now that he has broken through to the peak of psychic, he also has a big killer weapon like the Pupil of Karmic Fire and a hole card like Soul Slashing, which is enough to support himself fearlessly.
Shaking his head to sweep away the gloom, Liu Bi commanded.
"Ah Sin, after you go back, you are still by Chu Feng's side. Recently, Lingnan has been very unpeaceful, and someone may attack Chu Feng, you have to keep him from dying. ”
"Yes, master, I see."
There was nothing to say all the way, and the car drove for a while, and the phone in Liu Bi's pocket suddenly rang.
"Teacher Ling? Is there anything looking for me? Liu Bi was a little surprised that Ling Ruohua suddenly called over at this time.
"I haven't been able to contact you for a few days, where have you been?" Ling Ruohua asked with concern.
"Oh, I had some personal business to do, so I didn't go to school. Sorry, I didn't ask you for leave. ”
"That's fine, anyway, with your current grades, you don't need to go to class, hehe, as long as it's safe. The teacher is looking for you, I want to invite you to the teacher's house for dinner, last time you saved my father, our family is in mind, it happens that today is the weekend, I don't have classes at night, so I want to invite you to have a meal together. ”
"Oh, that's right, that's fine, I happen to have nothing to do today, you send me the address, I'll be there in a while."
After getting the address, Liu Bi got out of the car directly, and stopped another car and went straight to Ling Ruohua's house.
For this class teacher, Liu Bi has always been grateful, when he was at the end of a 10,000-year-old crane in school, only Ling Ruohua would care about him.
At that time, it was precisely because of a good teacher like Ling Ruohua that he was able to have a little sense of existence, so that he would not think that he was completely transparent.
"It's strange, how could Teacher Ling's family live in such a place? I remember that the classmates in the class said that the conditions in Mr. Ling's family are not bad? ”
Coming to the vicinity of the address given by Ling Ruohua, Liu Bi frowned suspiciously, this place is a place with a dense concentration of low-rent housing in the Eastern District. Most of the people who live here are farmers who come to Lingnan to work, as well as parents who have come to Lingnan from their hometowns to take care of their children.
got out of the car at the door of one of the low-rent houses, Liu Bi knocked on the door, and soon the door opened, and it was Ling Ruohua who opened the door.
Seeing Liu Bi coming, Ling Ruohua smiled lightly and said, "Come in, I'm already cooking, you sit down and rest first and drink some water." ”
Ling Ruohua poured a glass of water for Liu Bi very dignified and virtuous, and whispered to a room: "Dad, Liu Bi is here, come out." ”
As he spoke, he smiled apologetically at Liu Bi: "The place where the teacher lives here is a little shabby, don't mind." ”
"How so?" Liu Bi smiled and shook his head, but he couldn't help but look at the room.
The house is not big, two bedrooms and one living room, as for the decoration, the decoration of low-rent housing is completely conceivable. All kinds of furniture in the home, except for the coffee table that is polished brightly, can not see the old and new, and the other TV, refrigerator, sofa, can be seen to be very old.
Teacher Ling has always lived in this environment, but she has never complained, and her work is even more conscientious, and she has never affected her education career because of family matters, which is really rare.
With emotion, an old man with a half pull came out of the room inside, and this person was Ling Ruohua's father, Ling Zhengfeng.
"Uncle Ling, are you feeling better?" Liu Bi took the initiative to speak up and greeted politely.
Ling Zhengfeng smiled: "It's much better, it's much better, it's still thanks to you, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid that my old life won't be able to get it back, hehe." ”
"Uncle Ling is polite."
The two chatted with each other, although Ling Zhengfeng's attitude seemed very polite, but Liu Bi always felt that something was wrong, and it wasn't until he looked into Ling Zhengfeng's eyes that he understood why he felt this way.
It turned out that when Ling Zhengfeng was talking to him, his eyes were always a little wandering, as if he was still worried about something else in his heart.
It's kind of weird.
Liu Bi said secretly in his heart.
But he was still silent on the face, and the chat was only superficial, never asking more.
Soon, Ling Ruohua and Ling's mother cooked the meal, and the mother and daughter came out of the kitchen with the dishes, and the small dining table was full of all kinds of colorful and fragrant dishes.
I have to say that Ling Ruohua can be so virtuous, to a large extent, because of the influence of Ling's mother.
After all the dishes were served, Ling Mu patted her apron and said with a smile.
"Liu Bi, there are no good dishes, just take a bite, hehe."
"Auntie, don't say that, you can't finish eating this big table of dishes, you and Teacher Ling should also sit down and eat together."
"Well, okay, do you drink? Beer or liquor? ”
"Well, I'm not going to drink."
"Drink, drink, let's drink." At this time, Father Ling had already walked over with a bottle of Hengshui Lao Baigan.
The four of them sat down around the table, and if they didn't think much about it, the atmosphere was also happy. During the banquet, Ling's mother and Ling Ruohua kept giving Liu Bi vegetables.
But how meticulous is Liu Bi's heart? He soon felt that this harmonious table was not as harmonious as it seemed, and he had seen more than once that the smile on Ling Mu's face was actually very reluctant.
It's weird, why is this meal so awkward? What's going on?
Liu Bi had the heart to ask Ling Ruohua about the specific situation, but now was not a good time, so he had to give up.
After eating, Father Ling put the bowl down and said to Liu Bi.
"Liu Bi, you sit here, I have something to do, go out first."
Liu Bi frowned when he heard this, only to feel that Father Ling's behavior was somewhat inappropriate, but he didn't say anything.
"Okay, uncle, you can go."
Father Ling went back to the room, and hurriedly went out of the door, and Mother Ling also greeted and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
"I'll just collect it, Ruohua, you sit with Liu Bi and talk."
When Ling's mother went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, Liu Bi had to speak up.
"Teacher Ling, is there something going on in your house? You name it, and maybe I can help you. ”
"Huh? No, what can happen to the teacher's house, hehe, it's okay. Are you going to drink tea or boiled water? ”
Ling Ruohua was making tea with his back to Liu Bi, and said insincerely.
Liu Bi shook his head helplessly: "Teacher Ling, I know that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but if you say it, maybe I can help you solve the problem." You don't have to hide it from me, I knew something must have happened when I came. ”
At this moment, there was a sudden sobbing in the kitchen, followed by the sobbing that intensified, turning into a small cry.
Ling Ruohua sat opposite Liu Bi, smiled bitterly, brushed his hair wet with fragrant sweat and said.
"I'm sorry, Liu Bi, I invited you to dinner today to thank you, but I didn't expect it to ruin your interest."
"Teacher Ling, it's too obvious for you to say this, if you have anything, just say it directly." Liu Bi looked at Ling Ruohua and said.
Ling Ruohua smiled bitterly and said quietly: "A year ago, my family was still very harmonious. At that time, my parents had a considerable pension, and every day, my father liked to paint in the study. My mom likes to walk around the neighborhood and talk about homely things. But suddenly one day, everything changed. ”
"My dad went out to play chess in the park that day, and somehow he was taken to the casino. Since then, my dad has been obsessed and addicted......"
Speaking of this, Ling Ruohua's eyes became a little hollow, with obvious helplessness and disappointment.
"Nine out of ten bets were lost, and at the beginning my dad hid from me and my mom and lost his pension. By the time we found out, my dad had already secretly sold the house. But the sale of the house is not over, and now, my father has to gamble on my salary every month. ”
"My mother and I also tried many methods, and also sent my father to the Lingnan folk gambling cessation association, but my mother was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see my father suffering there, so she took him back again. Although he said that he would quit gambling every time, he ......"
Liu Bi listened quietly, did not interrupt Ling Ruohua, nor did he ask any questions, and waited until Ling Ruohua finished speaking, he asked.
"Where does he usually go to gamble?"
"It's in an underground casino in the east of the city, the Seven Star Billiards Hall. Liu Bi, although the teacher is teaching students how to behave in the world every day, but this kind of thing really comes to him, and the teacher really doesn't know what to do......
As he spoke, tears flashed in Ling Ruohua's eyes, Liu Bi handed over two tissues in a timely manner, Ling Ruohua wiped her tears, restrained her emotions, and smiled reluctantly.
"I'm sorry, the teacher lost his temper."
Liu Bi shook his head and said with a light smile: "Teacher Ling, leave this matter to me, I promise that after tonight, Uncle Ling will never gamble again." ”
While speaking, Liu Bi got up and walked outside.
