385 Showdown
After another month at the infirmary, I was finally able to be discharged.
It takes 100 days to break the muscles and bones, not to mention a serious injury like mine, with multiple comminuted fractures, and the average person may have to recuperate for at least half a year. But I have Yin Gong to protect my body, and my recovery speed is very fast, and I have recovered to seventy-seven eighty-eight after two and a half months.
Although my right shoulder is not yet able to exert force and I can't make much movements, I have no problem taking care of myself normally. Since I still had a lot of things to do, I pestered the doctor at the infirmary every day to get him to agree to let me go.
Before leaving, the old doctor replaced my right shoulder with a simple brace, which also served as a fixation. He said to me, "Young man, your collarbones and shoulder blades, although new bones have grown, are not very strong. Also, don't be too desperate next time! ”
I've thanked him, but I'm not going to be able to play with it anymore, hey, I can't even say for sure.
The first thing I did after I was discharged from the hospital was definitely to go to Brother Tie. When he saw me, he was amazed, as if he couldn't imagine that I would ever come back to life. But then he relapsed, and dragged me around to advertise for him and help him sell all kinds of equipment in the store.
"Wow! It's really a backstabber! ”
"It's a good backbiter, I also went to watch the game between you and Scarface, and I won two hundred Yin Yuan on you! Ha ha! ”
"Is your shoulder okay? When Scarface bit you, I thought you must have hung up! ”
"Give me an autograph! Sign me! ”
Today, there are more customers in Brother Tie's shop than last time, and they have crowded over to get close to me and ask for autographs. I was so tired of coping with it that I simply excused myself that I couldn't sign it because of an arm injury, so I sent them all away.
Brother Tie smiled and pulled me to sit behind the counter again, and said to me excitedly: "I'll just say that you can trust it, little brother!" Your inside information is really accurate, and your acting is really similar! I don't think it's okay to give you an Oscar! ”
I smiled wryly, but didn't want to explain too much, so I urged him to return the money, IOUs, and collateral to me.
Brother Tie really spoke about his credibility, and he happily took a silver ticket of 25,000 Yin Yuan from the counter and gave it to me. These silver tickets were all issued by the Teng family money bank and can be exchanged at any time. I also took back the IOU I had given him and tore it up casually. The other land deeds and several Ruyi suits mortgaged to Iron Brother were also recovered.
"Dude, how much did you win this time?" When I was counting my belongings, I asked by the way.
"Five thousand!"
I nodded and smiled, "Not bad!" ”
"Hey!" Brother Tie disagreed, and said regretfully: "Little brother, it's a pity that I'm not bold enough, I should really follow your example and bet all my own net worth." In that case, I'm really stunned right now! ”
"Brother, you're too greedy, aren't you?" I sneered, "With your net worth, brother, I'm afraid that even the dealer will be scared to run away if you bet it all on!" ”
"Impossible!" Brother Tie waved his hand, "The dealer has been opening this gladiatorial arena in Zuoqiu City for almost a hundred years, what kind of wind and waves have you never seen, and you still care about my little money?" ”
"By the way, who the hell is the dealer?"
"No one knows!" Brother Tie spread his hands, "There are all kinds of theories, but I guess he will have at least one of the deputy city lords behind him, or even directly obey the orders of the Zuoqiu city lord!" ”
"So powerful?"
"Nonsense, otherwise you can build such a big gladiatorial arena in Zuoqiu City and open such a big handicap? It is said that every match day, all the bets in the gladiatorial arena plus one piece can exceed at least 100,000 Yin Yuan! ”
"One hundred thousand?" I was stunned, a little surprised.
"So, let's win so much twenty or thirty thousand, it's more, but it's not enough to bankrupt the dealer!"
Speaking of which, I still asked again: "Brother, when you went to redeem the bonus, did anyone ask you anything?" ”
"Nope! Brother, I have lost a lot of money, this time I won him back, does he still want to play tricks? Brother Tie's eyes narrowed, and he replied confidently.
"That's good, that's good!"
At this time, I am very glad that I came to ask Brother Tie for help, if I find someone else to bet such a big bet, I guess the dealer must be suspicious.
"Not only myself, but many old friends are also betting on you to win this game." Brother Tie said to me with a smile on his face, "In addition to what you won, your own winning bonus should be quite a lot, right?" Next time there is such a good thing, be sure to call me! ”
I really couldn't play anymore, so I had to say to him with a wry smile: "Brother, do you really believe what I said before?" Hehe, look at the way I look now, I'm really risking my life to fight for a victory! ”
Brother Tie was stunned, but he still had an expression of disbelief, and actually reached over and pulled the bracket on my shoulder, and asked, "Aren't you pretending to be emotional?" ”
"Oh, don't get it, brother, I'm definitely really hurt. Hurt! ”
"Is it a fake match?"
"No match-fixing!"
"Is your hand really broken?"
"Both sides are broken, and the right shoulder is comminuted! I've been in the hospital for two and a half months alone, otherwise I could have waited so long to come to you? ”
I angrily pushed Iron Brother's hand away to prevent him from touching my shoulder indiscriminately. He was completely stunned, and he couldn't close his mouth in surprise.
After a long time, he gave me a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you can really do it!" Brother, I have been in Zuoqiu City for thirty years, and I have seen all kinds of lifeless people, but I have never seen you who ask for money and do not want to die! ”
I smiled wryly and patted him on the shoulder and corrected, "I'm not calling it a death for money, but a life for money!" However, this time I did really play with my life, and there will be no next time! ”
After saying goodbye to Brother Tie, I went to the Black Tiger Regiment. Master Xiao had also come to see me at the infirmary before, and he didn't seem to be very happy, not at all happy that I had won this deathmatch. And because I haven't gotten the money yet, I have been holding back until now that I finally have the courage to go to him to discuss the termination of the contract again.
In front of Master Xiao, Master Jin took out the account book again and recalculated it for me. I was the absolute favourite in this game, and the bet on me was three times higher than that of Boss Bear, so the total prize money for a single win suddenly reached 3,900 Yin Yuan. It is estimated that this is completely out of the banker's expectations, and they must have lost a lot this time!
However, as a result, my winning prize is less than 19,000 Yin Yuan short of my total termination bonus. I simply took out a silver ticket of 20,000 Yin Yuan at once, and pleaded: "Thank you to the group master for his cultivation in the past year!" It's just that I really want to go to the underworld, and I hope you can do it! ”
Lord Xiao kept staring into my eyes and asked, "Why do you have to go to the underworld?" ”
I hesitated, not knowing what to answer him. After all, Master Xiao is not thin on me, and I don't want to lie and deceive him, but I am a little embarrassed to tell the truth directly.
"Say! Don't make excuses to fool me! Master Xiao suddenly became a little angry.
"I ......" I scratched my head, then turned to Master Jin and said, "Master, can you let me talk to the group leader alone?" ”
Master Jin smiled and walked out very consciously.
I said to Xiao Tuan Leader very sincerely: "Tuan Leader, I don't want to lie to you. In fact, there is no reason to see people, just a stupid boy who is trapped by love words, and now he only wants to go to the underworld to find his lover! ”
I blushed and told Master Xiao about me and Liu Han in general. He was surprised when he heard it, as if it was not quite what he had guessed.
"So that's ......," Xiao Tuan Master shook his head with a wry smile.
"That's the way it is, I would never dare to lie to you!" I hurriedly swore.
Xiao Tuan Master was silent for a long time, and then asked solemnly: "But I still have some things to judge you well." In this deathmatch between you and Scarface, the betting situation is very abnormal, and the dealer has been tracking this matter. Honestly, did you privately borrow money to gamble on yourself and win? ”
I didn't expect such a hidden little action to be seen through by him at a glance, and I couldn't help but hesitate. But just after such a hesitation, Xiao Tuanzhuo's face darkened again.
I sighed in my heart, knowing that it would be impossible to prevaricate if I didn't tell the truth this time, so I nodded silently, which was considered to be an acknowledgement.
"You're doing this to pay me my termination money?"
"Yes."
"How much did you get in total?"
"Twenty-five thousand."
"More than that, right?"
"That's all, the rest of the extra bets were made by others with me!"
Master Xiao's face changed several times in a short period of time, one moment black, another red, which made me very nervous. In the end, fortunately, he returned to normal, and just sighed: "I am indeed a little reluctant to let you go like this, but since I have spoken to you first, I will not stop you again." ”
"Besides, this time you caused the dealer to suffer heavy losses, and even ripped my Black Tiger Regiment into the water. Even if I don't let you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to get along in this business, and there will even be a lot of trouble coming to you. Alas, if you want to go to the underworld, go there, so as not to stay here and provoke me again! ”
After saying that, Master Xiao called Master Jin in again and explained: "Accept the money and return the contract to him." He was also given the knife and shield he had left before he was hospitalized. ”
"Thank you, Leader!" I was so grateful, I fell directly to the ground on my knees, and arched my hand: "Although I didn't worship you as a teacher, after all, I have received your favor and listened to your teachings, and I can be regarded as a master and apprentice." Leader, please bow to me! ”
Master Xiao calmly accepted my bow, and then helped me up and said, "Go ahead." Silly boy, I wish you can get what you want and return with a beautiful woman! ”
