Little boy
The kid who stole the bag looked like he was six or seven years old. Although he was beaten and his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he still couldn't hide his delicate facial features and those big smart eyes. When you grow up a few years old, this face is estimated to be able to charm many girls and children.
It was really surprising to her that a child could steal her things unknowingly, but what made Qiu Banxia even more unexpected was the child himself. In a place like Wandering Soul Street, where all kinds of evil parties gather, there is always only destruction, there is no normal order, and even stable days cannot be lived, and it is difficult for her to imagine that anyone who can't think of it will get married and have children here.
But if this child was abandoned here by outsiders...... Qiu Banxia looked at the strangely shaped people in front of him, and he really couldn't connect these people with the role of the adoptive father who raised the child.
"However, I really didn't expect this kind of person to have a warm side." Autumn and summer sighed.
After all, seeing this child, she vaguely understood why the whole street was so nervous, and even stopped them at any cost. The more cruel and unforgiving the place, the rarer the beautiful things become, and for these people who are accustomed to living in violence and deceit, the innocent child is indeed the most precious treasure.
"But then again, this kid isn't 'innocent' no matter how you look at it."
Autumn Banxia looked at the boy. He stood up straight, his hands on his thighs hanging down, his head lowered as if admitting his mistake, but he turned his face slightly and looked around with the corner of his eye, his eyes were rolling around, obviously still thinking about something else.
She followed the boy's gaze and saw a man in the encirclement glaring at him. The man silently pulled his friend out of the way to make way for a hidden escape, and winked at the boy.
The boy nodded slightly, and continued to maintain a posture of admitting his mistake with his head bowed and his eyebrows lowered, but while the old man was not paying attention, he suddenly pretended to be unstable and tilted towards the other party, and took the opportunity to stomp on his feet, pulling his legs and about to run.
"Hey!"
Shen Lingshuang reacted quickly and was about to rush up to intercept him, but Lao Du reacted faster, stepped forward and reached out to grab it, grabbed the boy's back collar and dragged him back to his original position. The boy pouted and "tsked" unhappily, but he was also very aware of the current affairs and immediately gave up resisting, and put on a posture of bowing his head and admitting his mistake again. When Lao Du stared at him coldly, he looked back with a pair of big innocent eyes, as if nothing had happened just now.
Qiu Banxia saw all this in his eyes and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
"Anyway, you've got the stuff, so please go back." Lao Du arched his hand at the two.
"The thing is back, what should the thief do?"
"We will discipline this kid ourselves, so I don't bother you."
"Who cares how you discipline you." Qiu Banxia raised her eyebrows with a smile, "Hey, I'm a victim, even if I get my wallet back, I can't swallow this breath anyway." Can I take it back for two days? β
"Hey, don't deceive too much, you, come with me if you want to fight!"
It was the young man who had secretly tried to help the boy escape, and he stepped forward first, taking off his obstructive shirt, revealing a body of iron-like muscles. The friend who was standing next to him sighed and stepped forward. He untied the belt around his waist, shook it in the wind, and the cold light was shining, it was a soft sword that could be strong and soft.
As soon as the two of them came out of the ranks, the others suddenly seemed to be inspired, and they rushed forward. Seeing that the situation was out of control again, Shen Lingshuang put on a posture again, ready to go up and do a big job.
"Stop!"
Lao Du waved his hand and roared, like a basin of cold water poured on everyone's heads. He stood at the front of the group with his hands behind his back, thin and thin, but like a mountain blocking the direction of everyone's progress. Although the angry evil party couldn't help but scold, they still stopped again unwillingly.
But in the eyes of Qiu Banxia, the other party is more like a general standing tall in front of the battle, commanding thousands of troops. Although he has repeatedly tolerated in his attitude, he has always been neither humble nor arrogant, this calm attitude stems from his confidence in this street, and now as long as he gives an order, the layers of attacks will come to them like a tide.
It's just that at that time, even if they win, their side will have to pay a lot of price. On the way here, Lao Du had already learned the news that several other people had been defeated, and he also had a rough judgment on Qiu Banxia's strength. There is no need to confront such a demon just for the sake of a battle of willβthis is his conclusion different from that of the others.
It's just that on another matter, they have the same bottom line.
"As you can see, these brothers of mine are all hot-tempered guys, and I'm not sure I'll continue to suppress their anger." Lao Du said lightly, "I know that the two girls are extraordinary, but if you really want to get out of here, I'm afraid it's not that simple." People who are not in the world are often eight or nine, sometimes they take a step back, and it is good for everyone, do you think it is right? β
"I can make a little concession." Qiu Banxia smiled, "The thief and the handbag, I only need one of them." So I'll keep the handbag for you, but I'll take it away from the thief. β
Lao Du sighed: "You are deliberately trying to entertain us." β
"It's a very serious concession and I'm responsible for the conditions I've proposed."
"Boss Du, don't talk nonsense with her!" The sturdy young man couldn't help but interject, "This obviously doesn't take us seriously, can you bear this?" β
Their patience has reached the limit, and even Lao Du himself has reached the verge of breaking out. This is exactly what Autumn and Half Summer hope for. She could see that in this group of people, only this middle-aged man was better than the four capable people she had met before, and if he was used as a stepping stone to the "fifth victory" on the street, it would obviously be a more happy ending for her.
As for how much to pay for this "fifth victory", it is no longer in her consideration at this time. In order to experience that feeling of life and death again, she can continue to provoke in any way.
Finally, she saw Lao Du exhale a long breath of turbidity.
"Well, in that case, let's decide in a way that is acceptable to everyone." He looked at Qiu Banxia and said heavily, "Right here, I'll make a bet with you, and the winner will have the final say." β
Shen Lingshuang frowned, and subconsciously looked at Qiu Banxia, who also had a look of surprise on his face. "Do you know who you're talking to?" Qiu Banxia replied quietly.
Lao Du nodded: "I've seen a few guys in 'black suits'." β
Qiu Banxia took a deep look at him. Unlike the previous ones, this guy obviously knows what the "host" is all about, but now that he knows, he still chooses the "gamble" that is most beneficial to them, which shows that he has extraordinary self-confidence.
This point made Qiu Banxia's curiosity uncontrollable again.
"What to play?" She laughed.
"Dice."
Lao Du snapped his fingers, and the young man who knew immediately brought a square table from the house next to him and placed it in the open space between the two groups of people, and then someone found a dice cup and three dice. Lao Du put everything on the table, spread out his hands and beckoned everyone to take a few steps back. Qiu Banxia stepped forward, looked at the dice first, then at the dice cup, and finally carefully inspected all the bottom of the table top of the square table.
"No problem, please start." She took two steps back and raised her hand.
Neither of them has yet to discuss the most important part of the rule, because they both understand that the rule itself is irrelevant. The general dice game is nothing more than the familiar rules such as pressing the size and pressing the odd and even, and the bet is on probability. But at this time, one of them is a banker, and one person bets, but to divide the winner in a game, it cannot rely on luck, but by means.
After the two sides confirmed, Lao Du picked up the dice cup, put in the dice and began to shake it up and down. Qiu Banxia's ears trembled slightly and slightly with the rhythm of the dice cup, and he could distinguish every collision of the three dice inside.
"It's so normal." She muttered to herself.
"Listening to dice", a skill that seems to appear only in movies, is the most basic compulsory course for most hosts. The host who is the best at listening to the dice can accurately report the number of points in turn even if he puts in 20 dice and shakes them together. Although Autumn and Summer can't reach this level, just three dice is simply not difficult for her.
But about this skill, Lao Du, who has dealt with the host, should also be clear. As long as the kung fu of listening to the dice in the middle of autumn and summer can reach the average level of the host, he will definitely lose this game. Qiu Banxia didn't check the mechanism on the props, but she was sure that the other party would definitely do something in the process, such as using some special cup shaking skills to interfere with the other party's hearing.
But until the end of the day, it was all quite normal. Lao Du just picked up the dice cup and shook it a few times, and then put it on the table, signaling that Qiu Banxia could speak. He doesn't even limit the amount of bets he can bet, which means that even if the opponent just makes a random big or small, there is a half chance of winning.
"Two, three, six, eleven o'clock."
Shen Lingshuang reminded from behind in a small voice that only the two of them could hear. She is naturally full of confidence in Master's ability, but there are no absolutes in the world, and Qiu Banxia seems to be a little overexcited at this time, and she will make a mistake in the most basic things. It just so happens that her hearing is still enough to cope with the situation of three dice, and since she can hear it, it is good to help a little secretly, and it can be used as a reference.
But at this moment, a tiny sound reached her ears. The sound came from the stilled dice, one of which suddenly flipped without warning.
"'Six' became 'one', and now it's two, three, one, and six is small."
She looked at Lao Du's hand pressed on the dice cup in astonishment, and every finger on it did not move in the slightest.
"But how did he do it?"
