Qianjintai.

In fact, it is a gambling house.

After Xu Han walked into it, Qin Keqing looked at the crowds gathered together in the house, and listened to the bursts of "buy big, buy small, buy and leave" in her ears, and she came to her senses.

She frowned, she had never been exposed to these things since she was a child, and she instinctively disliked such a place.

"Young Master Xu, what are we doing here?" she asked softly.

Xu Han didn't say a word, pulled her and squeezed into a table on the side, and Chu Qiuli behind him also grinned at that time, rubbed his palms and walked up.

A gambling table, only seven feet square, surrounded by only more than 20 people, but it shows that this life is diverse.

There are people who win the spring breeze proudly, talk and laugh, and are unhappy, and there are also people who are red-faced and red-eared when they lose, and want to bet on their children as wives and turn over with a salted fish.

At this point, the game is over, the winner is smiling, and the loser gritting his teeth and calculating what else he has at home to pledge.

"Come on, buy big and buy small, buy and leave. The dealer began to shake the dice in his hand again, encouraging the crowd to bet.

Xu Han groped in his arms for a while, and took out a money bag, but it was a gift from the man in the inn just now, and it was full of nearly ten taels of silver.

This is not a small amount, enough for an ordinary family of three to live a prosperous life for a year.

So much money naturally inevitably aroused everyone's sideways.

"Come on, give it a try. Xu Han smiled and took out some broken silver from the money bag, about one or two of them, and handed it to Qin Keqing.

"It's... I won't. Seeing this, Qin Keqing waved his hand again and again.

"It's simple, look at the man. Xu Han stretched out his finger and pointed to the dice cup in the dealer's hand, "The cup in his hand contains three dice, nine numbers are small, ten numbers are large, and three are called leopards. ”

"But..."Qin Keqing's face turned red, a tael of silver said not too much, said a lot less, besides, she looked at the man on the side who lost his family and clamored to use his wife and children as gambling money, and always felt that this matter was inappropriate, but when she met Xu Han's encouraging eyes, Qin Keqing couldn't give birth to the slightest refusal for some reason.

"It's okay, just have fun. Xu Han continued to encourage.

When Qin Keqing heard this, he finally gritted his teeth and put those few pieces of broken silver on the gambling table at random to bet on a small place.

At this time, the dealer saw that the big fish had entered the urn, and the shaking dice cup stopped and shouted: "Buy it and leave it!"

Everyone's eyes fell on the dice cup.

Even Qin Keqing subconsciously looked at the dice cup, his mind was inexplicably a little nervous, only Xu Han and Chu Qiuli's faces were as usual, and they could be described as calm and relaxed.

Three, three, two!

The dealer opened, and the three dice totaled eight.

Immediately, the crowd burst into a mixture of wails and cheers.

But Qin Keqing looked at the extra silver in her hand with a surprised expression, obviously even she didn't expect such a result.

"Come again. And Xu Han's voice suddenly sounded again at that time.

"But..."Qin Keqing was stunned when she heard this, in her opinion, gambling is really not a good thing, she is already very content to win a tael of silver, so she thought about leaving with her hands, and when she heard that Xu Han was going to come again, she was a little hesitant.

"It's okay, you just have fun. Xu Han said softly, with indescribable tenderness in his tone.

Qin Keqing's heart was sweet, and his face turned crimson, "Hmm." She nodded obediently, looking like a lovely little daughter-in-law. She thought about it, and then put the two taels of silver on the small gambling board very casually.

At this time, the man who was clamoring to sell his wife and children had signed a contract with the shopkeeper of the casino, and returned to the table with a full thirty taels of silver. According to the rules of the casino, before noon today, if he can repay thirty-five taels of silver with interest, he can take the deed of sale of his wife and children, if not, his wife and children will no longer be his wife and children.

The man was already enchanted at the moment, his eyes were red, and he stood at the gambling table holding the gambling money exchanged for his wife and children, and everyone around him was not surprised by such a situation, and did not look at the man.

The man thought about it, and for some reason glanced at Xu Han and Qin Keqing, then took out five taels of silver from the money bag and pressed it on the same gambling board as Qin Keqing.

"Buy and leave. The dealer shouted again, and then the Gu cup stopped and opened.

One, two, six! A total of nine numbers, or a small win!

Qin Keqing's gambling money changed from two taels to four taels, and the man who sold his wife and children also earned enough thirty-five taels of silver.

"Go and get your wife and children back. Qin Keqing glanced at the man and kindly reminded.

"No, no! I have to win another five taels, or my family won't survive this winter." The man muttered as if he were stunned, his eyes red.

......Seeing this, Qin Keqing felt a little unbearable, and turned his eyes to look at Xu Han, as if he wanted him to make an idea.

But Xu Han smiled and said, "Keqing, you are lucky, why don't you take him to win again?"

Qin Keqing secretly felt that something was wrong when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he still bet the four taels of silver on Xiao Shang again, and the man seemed to be sure that he had met Fuxing today, but he hurriedly took out another five taels of silver and bet it on the same gambling board as Qin Keqing.

At this time, a sneer flashed at the corner of the mouth of the person in charge of shaking the dice. He shouted and let go, and then he raised the cup high and shook it before falling.

"Open, open, open!" roared the man who had sold his wife and children, staring at the dice cup.

Xu Han glanced sideways at Chu Qiuli beside him, and the big man smiled knowingly, stretched out one hand and shook the table imperceptibly.

At this moment, the dice cup opened, and everyone looked at it.

Two, three, four! a total of nine!

The dealer's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and he looked at the three dice in front of him in disbelief and was silent for a long time.

Qin Keqing's face also suddenly showed a heartfelt smile, but it was not for the few taels of silver she won, she looked sideways at the man on the side and said, "Hurry up and go, the money you want has earned enough." ”

But who knew that the man shook his head, and his face flushed sickly, "No, I can still win more!"

"But you're like this..."Qin Keqing's brows suddenly furrowed, she felt that the man's idea was wrong, but before she could correct the man, Xu Han interrupted him.

"Keqing, since he is for his family, you let him try again. Xu Han said in a deep voice, his voice was flat, he couldn't hear joy and anger, and in the end, it seemed that in order to better convince Qin Keqing, he said again: "Isn't there still me?"

Although Qin Keqing is still a little uneasy in her heart, she is not stupid, she is not good at this, and she can win money one after another, so she naturally has something to do with Xu Han. Since Xu Han spoke, she didn't say anything after all, just glanced at the man deeply, and once again bet the eight taels of silver in her hand on Xiao. Seeing this, the man gritted his teeth and directly took out fifteen taels of silver and bet it on Xiaoshang.

Seeing this, the dealer's face became more and more gloomy, and he called the little guy who was next to him to whisper a few words to him, and the little guy turned his head and left in a hurry. But he raised the dice cup in his hand again, shook it for a while, and then fell.

Qin Keqing looked at the slowly lifted dice cup as nervously as everyone else, and the man's eyes were even bloodshot, and even the temples were bursting with thick green tendons, which was already extremely nervous.

Six, three, two, a total of eleven, a large number!

This result made Qin Keqing's face darken, and the man beat his chest even more, and almost fainted, he exchanged a total of thirty taels of silver, and with Qin Keqing winning ten taels, this time he pressed out fifteen taels, and now he only has twenty-five taels of silver on him, and if he wants to redeem his wife and children, there is still a full ten taels left.

As soon as the dice cup opened this time, he could be said to have fallen to the bottom again.

And Qin Keqing also turned his head to look at Xu Han at that time, his eyes were full of incomprehension.

"There are wins and losses, that's the normal thing in gambling. Xu Han said.

At this time, another gamble opened, and the man was careful and pressed a few taels of silver, but he lost again. Qin Keqing turned the man's face more and more ugly, and the money bag became more and more shriveled, he looked at Xu Han as if he was begging for help, but Xu Han stood there as if he hadn't seen it.

The man then gambled several times, and the remaining twenty-five taels of silver were all lost, and his eyes suddenly turned black, and he fell straight to the ground, and immediately asked a few servants to come forward and drag him, and threw him out of the gambling house like a dead dog.

Qin Keqing was anxious in her eyes, she couldn't imagine how this man would spend his life in the future, and what kind of situation his wife and children would be like after they were taken away by this gambling house. She wanted to save her, but was pulled by Xu Han.

"You can't save him. Xu Han, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Why?" Qin Keqing was very puzzled, she stared at Xu Han with wide eyes, and secretly felt that the man in front of her was so strange, as if she met Xu Han for the first time today.

In all fairness, Qin Keqing's appearance is not very beautiful, compared to Ye Hongjian's Fang Ziyu and the like, not to mention the difference between cloud and mud, but it is not half a star, but Xu Han is inexplicably a little irritable under her gaze.

"There is no cure for people who can even bet their wives and children on gambling money. Xu Han suppressed the irritability in his heart and said as calmly as possible.

"But he is so that his wife and children can survive this winter and live a good life!" Qin Keqing's voice rarely became high-pitched.

"No, he's doing it for himself. His selfish desires have blinded his mind, but he does these things in the name of others, but in the end it is to satisfy his own desires. ”

"If you can save him once, he can gamble a second time, a third time... You'll never be able to save him. ”

"His illness is here. Xu Han stretched out his finger and pointed to his chest, and his voice suddenly became extremely gloomy: "No medicine can save heart disease." ”

Maybe Xu Han's voice was too cold, or maybe the truth in Xu Han's words made Qin Keqing unable to refute, and the girl was stunned for a while.

Seeing this, Xu Han handed her over to Chu Qiuli's hands.

But his body stepped forward at that time, took out the money bag in his arms again, and bet it on the leopard between the sizes without looking at it.

He looked at the dealer at that time, and his eyes were full of anger.

"Come on, sir, I want to try my luck too. ”
