The snow froze the ground white, and anyone walking on top of them in thick fur boots felt a chill rise from the soles of their feet. A figure popped and fell fearlessly on the snow, a few of the snow melted by the heat of her cheeks, and more piled up on her face, freezing it red.

"I'm sorry, I didn't bring you gold today." She said with a faint white mist. As her voice revealed, she was so exhausted that she didn't bother to bother with the grinding tingle in her body anymore.

Ou Li had always thought that he would laugh heartily when he saw this scene, but at this time, he was unable to do it. Maybe it's because he's too cold, and he has nowhere to go when he leaves the casino, but even huddled at the door of the casino can't relieve the cold on his body in the slightest.

"Hey...... What happened to you? Thief. The gambler trembled and walked to the little girl in thin clothes in the snow, and he did not expect that he would care about the thief who had stolen everything from him. As soon as he left, he felt a stiffness all over his body, and he realized that it was impossible for him to reach out as if he wanted to. Because it won't be long before he freezes to death.

"Me? Haven't you ever seen people die? As the little girl grew weaker and weaker, she still spoke fluently.

What she said made Ou Li on the side stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe that it was a little girl who looked like she was only ten years old in the face of death so calmly. She is an NPC and not a player, and death means real death, however, she behaves so indifferently at this time.

So he couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"Death is something that only happy people would taboo, and living with nothing like me can sometimes be a relief." The girl replied weakly.

"Yes......" Ou Li said lightly, knowing that he would die, he didn't believe that anyone could wait for death so calmly. For some reason, he stood quietly beside the girl.

As time passed, the girl's snort became weaker and weaker, and Ou Li on the side was better than her because of a tattered coat on her body. At this time, the girl finally seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and said, "This time last year, I should have just been exchanged for 5 gold coins by my gambling father. That night, however, Billie gave me to the first guest for double the price. ”

Ori knew she was telling her story, but he wasn't interested. But even if he didn't talk, it was hard for him not to hear each other's voices in the quiet streets at this time.

"A lot of things are like that, the first time it hurts, you struggle, you cry. But gradually, I became numb, and it was useless to do anything anyway. However, because of this, my prices also started to fall. In order to live, I had to learn some other skills. Although, I don't know, what is the purpose of living. ”

At this time, Ou Li, who had lost everything, was already in despair. He thought that the dark story of the other party would make him even more irritable, but he didn't expect that after listening to the girl's story, his annoyance was a little less, perhaps because he found someone more unlucky than him. It seems to be distorted, but sometimes that's human nature.

"Luckily, I learned quickly, and as a result, I was able to earn more and more money...... So much so that once again I had illusions about the future. Billie says for 50 gold coins, I'll be free. ”

"I've worked hard, but no matter where I hide my savings, there will always be three smarter hands that will make my efforts go to waste. But just when I thought I'd never be able to save those 50 gold coins, you showed up ......"

At the mention of the stolen gold coin, Ollie finally looked up in response. However, seeing the little girl's eyes closed and panting, he didn't bother to care about anything anymore. He was so tired that in order to turn over, he didn't even buy a copper for the gold coins he got a few days ago, and now he couldn't open his eyes under hunger and cold.

"But I was wrong, there are some things that 50 gold coins can't buy back...... When I finally bought the so-called freedom, I found that I had nothing else to rely on to live without this dirty business. Damn, damn it, damn it......"

At last angry words, the girl at this time said words that sounded like a weak dream.

"And I saw you again...... I know that I am responsible for the way you look like a dog. Maybe it was just an excuse I made for myself, and I finally found a generous explorer in the inn. I've had a full meal, and I'll bring you the gold coins I've earned. ”

"The second time, I found him again, and it was the same price, but this time, his enthusiasm hurt me a little. 3rd, 4th ...... That guy went from being personable at the beginning to being an old trapped beast...... But for the money, for the sake of paying off your debts, I went anyway to ......"

"Perhaps, that guy is right, a filthy person like me deserves to die...... What is the point of living in such a miserable life? Die...... Die, die......"

As the little girl's voice became more and more inaudible, Ou Li realized that the words just now might not just be for him. That's what the girl said to herself, she was persuading herself! used that unbearable experience to persuade himself to die peacefully......

Thinking of this, Ou Li didn't know where the strength came from, and he opened his eyes suddenly. In front of him, however, was a lifeless corpse, and the girl's expression was not as calm and calm as before, with her eyes closed. The eyes that he had seen many times, which should have been beautiful and moving, were suddenly widened in horror at this time.

Yes, this is the expression of a person who is dying out of fear, and his eyes are full of helplessness when he has not yet closed. Looking at those glasses, Ollie only felt that he heard a cry for help...... But what could he do? He could not drive away the cold and hunger for her, nor could he heal her wounds all over her body.

By this time, the blood that flowed from those wounds had completely stained the snow on the ground red, and had even penetrated to his feet. However, for the first time in the face of such a real dead person, Ou Li did not feel any panic. Because the dead man in front of him was a person he knew, and there was more of an indescribable feeling in his heart than any fear.

But at least, in an instant, he decided on one thing - to bury the girl. He stepped forward slowly, reaching out and trying to pick up the corpse. The funny thing is that not only could he not do this at this time, but he also fell on the girl's body because of this action.

And in an instant, he felt that on top of the corpse under him, there was something his body. He got up and examined the body. Only then did I find that the wounds of the corpse were all stuffed with a gold coin. It was these gold coins that took the girl's life, and what a cruel method it was.

Eventually, he said sorry and took out all the gold coins. Holding the bright red gold coin, he looked at the casino behind him again. That hallucinatory sense of hope reappeared, and it gave him the strength to stand up and move forward.

It stands to reason that the most hated people he hated at this time were those who took away his gold and constantly laughed and teased him. However, when he remembered what he would do after turning over with the money, the face of the girl who died in the snow would keep appearing in front of him.

"Poof!"

Just as he was moving forward with his imagination, his feet shook and he plunged headlong into the snow. The gold coins in his hand were scattered a little, and a lot of blood bloomed on the snow.

The stinging pain on his face brought by the ice and snow made him suddenly walk out of his imagination. At the same time, he was also very sure that he definitely didn't fall because he was careless, he kicked something, or tripped over something.

"Who are you?" Ou Li raised his head and looked warily at the young man with a playful smile in front of him. And when he looked at it again, the other party was actually pinching his gold coins in his hand, which made his eyes sharper.

"Why, do you have to gamble with the money of the dead? You're really poisoned. The young man did not answer his question, but glanced at the corpse not far away, and asked with a smile.

"It's my thing! I don't need you to interfere! Give me back the coins! The weak gambler stretched out his hand, but unexpectedly snatched the gold back from the other party's hand.

Obviously, it was just that the young man was unwilling to fight with him. "It's really scumbag, and sure enough, every gambler is like that. In order to gamble, even her daughter is willing to sell it! ”

Hearing this, Ollie stopped picking up gold coins in the snow. He turned his head and stared at the young man fiercely: "Do you know about her?" You...... Did you kill her? ”

"I'm smart, I just got the news from the old bustard. It's up to you to think of it. The man snorted coldly.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to be lying, Ollie shut his mouth and ignored the man. He lowered his head and picked up the gold coin.

But the man never left, just watching him pick up one gold coin after another. It wasn't until the last one that a foot in a new thick leather boot stepped on it.

"Hey, gambler." The man lowered his head and said, "If you walk into the casino with these gold coins, I don't know if you will be so lucky next time." However, I can tell you, give me these gold coins, and I can do it for you...... No, avenge that little girl. What do you think? ”

"Who told you that I was going to avenge her? I don't know her well. Ollie didn't look up, but he didn't pull the gold coin hard.

"Then when I said it wrong, looking at the look in your eyes before, I thought you two were old acquaintances with a good relationship." The young man chuckled and retracted his foot on the gold coin.

Just as the young man was about to turn away, Ollie raised his head and asked in the loudest voice he could, "Can you let me watch from the side?" ”

The young man seemed to have expected it, and turned back for a while: "Of course! If you want, I can even subdue him and leave him at your disposal. ”

"Deal."

Picking up the last bloody gold coin, Ou Li handed all the gold coins in his hand together.

And the other party was also unceremonious, putting them in an empty cloth bag. "That's right, you've made a very wise choice. You're welcome to be a human again. So saying, the young man took out another money bag and threw it at the gambler.

"What are you doing here?" Through the slightly open mouth of the money bag, Ou Li could already clearly see the golden light exposed inside. There were more gold coins in this bag than he had just picked up!

"Prepare yourself, it's almost time for us to go. Let's hope that guy hasn't gone far. ”

"You're not in it for the money, so why are you doing it?" Ollie asked stupidly, holding the bag of gold coins.

"Actually, even if I didn't promise you, I still had to kill that pervert. After all, it was a deserter from our legion, and we are also responsible for the sins he committed. I am also obligated to finish him off. The young man said, turning his head again: "But you are giving this bag of gold coins to make up for the dead little girl." It would be so sad to let her die twice before and after being a gambler. The opportunity is given to you, how to choose in the future, you decide for yourself. ”

Ou Li held the bag of gold coins and pondered for a long time. Indeed, while holding the gold coin, there was a voice in his heart that kept persuading him to turn around and walk into the casino. However, a blood-soaked face appeared in his mind...... It's the little girl......

He shook his head and asked himself, what is the purpose of betting? Is the goal of 100 gold coins set at the beginning? In the bag in his hand, there were definitely no less than 100 gold coins, but he still had the desire to gamble in his heart......

It was only then that he saw himself clearly. I don't know when he started to gamble for the sake of winning or losing, just for fun. If you win, you won't be too happy, and if you lose, you won't be sad, and gambling is just for the sake of gambling......

How morbid, how twisted...... Even if I am aware of this, when I think of never gambling again, I still have a sharp pain and a faint itching feeling in my heart that has been cut by a knife. Entangled in such emotions, he fell to his knees in the snow and groaned in pain.

"Smack!"

A heavy slap in the face.

Ou Li only felt that his mind was blank, and all his thoughts were scattered in this slap. When he opened his eyes again, he saw only a hand waiting in front of him.

"It's over, and it's fine. Let's go. ”

For a moment, he seemed to see the light of dawn breaking...... This time, he didn't hesitate and grabbed that hand.

After the man smiled at him, he turned back to the blonde girl behind him and said, "Okay, Bai Siling, after burying that girl." Let's get out of that bastard. ”
