Chapter 10: The Gambler
As always, the lifeless door was pushed open, and there was nothing except a table in the center of the living room, a few stools, and the only electrical appliance in the house was probably the lamp on the ceiling.
Yan Shidao came to the dining table, and there was a red paper pressed on it, which was his living expenses for the next week. In today's era when a meal often costs more than ten or twenty yuan, a hundred yuan can't last a week at all, but fortunately, there is such a thing as instant noodles.
The man only guaranteed his tuition, school uniforms, and living expenses of 100 yuan a week, and it was up to him to figure out the rest.
The only two things he had in his body were a discarded mobile phone and an outdated computer that Qiu had sent him and an outdated computer that he had saved money to buy in the second-hand market to log in to WeChat, because he could still see her in the class's WeChat group.
Born poor, he should understand the difficulties of life, study hard, and then get ahead, this is the normal way to open. However......
"Students, open the textbook I bought yesterday, today's homework is on the second page of the tenth question, and there is ......"
"Master Yandao, why didn't you hand in your homework?!"
Call!
The hot water boiled, and Yan Shidao skillfully brewed a bowl of instant noodles. In fact, if it weren't for the recent events, he would have spent this weekend with Qiu Fa in an Internet café.
Qiu Fa's family is rich, although it is not very rich, but there are still millions of net worth, and every time he goes to the Internet café, he treats him, so that Yan Shidao can save the money for dinner.
Yan Shidao once heard Qiu Fa mention his family, the grumpy boss, husband and father, the self-made mother and a mistress who accompanied his father.
This has also become the reason why he intersects with him.
After eating, he put away the dishes and chopsticks, and returned to his bedroom, where he could still find the only sense of belonging. He took out another school uniform and walked to the bathroom. Passing by a closed room, he stopped.
It was the man's room, and even though he had only come back to sleep a handful of times, his quilt was still in the room. Although the man had told him more than once that he was not Yan Shidao's father, not even his adoptive father, Yan Shidao was only picked up by him on the side of the road, and he had not even gone through the legal procedures.
The relationship between them is not legal at all, and the man also threatens to wait until he is eighteen years old, after graduating from the college entrance examination, he will stop all expenses and ask him to solve it himself.
But after all, he is still the only person in this world who can be remembered, at least he does not have to stay in an orphanage, but grows up in a family, although the family plays the role of a father is just a gambler who gambles outside every day.
But that doesn't mean that someone can beat his idea!
Yan Shidao pushed open the door that he would never take the initiative to open, and there was a wisp of black ..... Yin Qi wafted out from within.
Judging from the hundred yuan outside, he should have come back, this wisp of yin qi was brought back by him, after living for so many years, he can be sure that the man is definitely not a ghost, so he is entangled by something?
The vertical pupil opened, and the yin qi was sucked into the pupil.
As Wu Mian said, Yin Qi has significant personal characteristics, unless there are some more special ones, otherwise this is equivalent to everyone's ID card. After the yin qi is absorbed, you can sense the same type of qi through the pupils.
Yan Shidao frowned, and did not feel a similar yin qi nearby, and pushed the door out.
Suddenly, there was a stinging pain in the eyes, and the vertical pupils reverted back to their original eyes, and the eyes were so painful that they could barely open them.
"What's going on?!"
"The mana is exhausted, how much mana do you think that binding spirit can bring you, if you absorb it completely, it can last for a week or two, but she was destroyed and dissipated, and you only absorbed a little bit."
Then why didn't I have this situation before? Yan Shidao remembered that when he first opened it before, he hadn't absorbed any yin qi at all.
"Because you weren't in control before." The Faceless Female Ghost scoffed again. "Do you really think that after learning a little bit of fur, you feel invincible in the world? It's okay for you to scare and scare drunkards now, let alone ghosts, it's useless to meet a few people who can beat you. ”
"......" Yan Shidao gritted his teeth and walked out again.
As the sky gradually brightened, Yan Shidao walked out of a gloomy alley.
He's been to several places he's frequented, but he still hasn't found him, so has he moved on to other places?
"Huh? Master Yan, why are you here? ”
Suddenly, a shout pulled Yan Shidao's thoughts back to his eyes, and he saw Yuqing wearing a sportswear, drenched in sweat, and seemed to be jogging in the morning.
At Qiu Fa's place, Yan Shidao learned that the school had a day off early due to yesterday's incident, so it was not surprising to see Yuqing today on Friday, but she didn't expect that this was still her morning running route
"Hmm......." Yan Shidao pursed his lips, his gaze subconsciously avoiding her gaze.
"Are you here for a run, too?"
"Well, ah, no, I'm here to find someone."
"Looking for someone?" Yuqing looked into the alley behind Yanshi Road, and saw a few young people walking out of a doorway, and Yuqing frowned slightly.
Oops, Yan Shidao saw this, knowing that she must have misunderstood something, and was about to explain, but I heard those young people say, this place is too bastard, I won't come in the future, I lose money every time, I heard that a new one has been opened recently, and I will go over there to take a look.
New? Is it over there?
Yan Shidao was pondering, and suddenly Yuqing said, "What, classmate Yan, thank you last night." ”
Yan Shidao suddenly came back to his senses, "Huh?!" Oh nothing, are you okay? ”
Shaking her head, Yuqing replied, "It's okay, but I want to ask you, you ...... last night"
Before he could finish speaking, he interrupted, "You're going to run, aren't you?" Then I won't bother you yet. After speaking, Yan Shidao followed the direction of the young people.
"Mr. Yan, are you going...... Gambling for money? ”
"It's not." Yan Shidao shook his head and replied.
Yuqing looked at it, and her expression seemed to be a little lighter, "I feel that Yan-chan seems to have changed, and I don't really know what happened to you, but I still ask you not to give up studying, no matter how difficult it is." ”
Yan Shidao pursed his lips and was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "I know, I'll remember." Then I'll do this for now, and I'll see you when I'm free. ”
After saying goodbye to Yuqing, he immediately followed the group of young people.
And in the back, Yuqing's eyes wandered, her brows furrowed slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Heh, your little girlfriend is really virtuous."
Yan Shidao's face turned slightly red, "What little girlfriend, don't talk nonsense." ”
"I've seen a lot of people like you, I like it but don't dare to take the initiative, obviously I dare to beat a ghost for her, and you deserve to have a crush for the rest of your life." The faceless female ghost had the expression of a passerby.
Yan Shidao shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand. However, as soon as the words were spoken, Faceless sneered again, I don't understand anything, don't you think you don't deserve her?
As a female ghost who doesn't know how many years she has lived, she has seen a lot of these things a long time ago, and she has experienced a hundred battles, and she can guess what he is thinking.
Yan Shidao was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
"So you don't have the courage to try it, so how do you know what the result will be."
Yan Shidao opened his mouth, but in the end he still didn't say what was in his heart, he once saw her receive a large bouquet of roses, and the man who sent the flowers was a famous rich boy in the school.
Although there were no follow-up rumors between her and him, or that she really had too many similar rumors, this matter couldn't make a splash. It's just that......
"You think she is a pure white lotus, but she is a Bichi who plays with feelings!"
The girl's words still haunt me.
