Chapter 37 Three Days
The rest is much simpler.
Xiong Lao naturally didn't dare to take over Yan's gamble again, if he lost this time, it would not be a thousand taels, and the loss of 10,000 taels was enough to give the owner behind him a reason to take Xiong Lao's life.
So in desperation, Boss Xiong could only alarm the owner behind him.
A man dressed in purple.
It was exactly as Xu Han expected, it was a Shura envoy from the Senluo Palace, and this gambling house was the liaison base set up by the Senluo Hall in Wuzhou Town.
Xu Han took the money he won from the Senluo Palace and explained his intention, and then everyone who understood Xu Han's true purpose was stunned, and Ning Zhumang's face was even more flushed, and the concern on his face was overflowing.
The Shura envoy obviously didn't like Xu Han's practice of exchanging the wool on the sheep's body for the meat on the sheep's body, but the rules of the Senluo Hall were there, and it was best for him to take over Xu Han's business, and promised to give an answer within two months, and then they would go to find Xu Han.
Xu Han did not doubt the promise of Senluo Palace, so he left with everyone satisfied.
"Poof!" It was only when he stepped out of the gambling house that Chu Qiuli, who had always had a gloomy face, suddenly turned his body for a while, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and his head was also crooked at that time, and he was about to fall to the ground.
Xu Han, who was already thinking about Chu Qiu's divorce, was quick to hold him up, so he was spared the embarrassing situation of falling to the ground.
"Brother Chu, what are you..."The people around were also shocked by this change, and they all stepped forward and asked with concern.
The bloodless middle-aged man opened his eyes with difficulty at that time and muttered: "A little deception, a big deception..."
"The little thief touches the beads, and the avenue steals his life..."
"I'm not here..."
"My life will fail..."
The middle-aged man who said this seemed to be unable to support his head any longer, and passed out at that time.
......
After returning to the inn, Chu Qiuli still had no trace of waking up.
Xu Han placed Chu Qiuli on the bed, and tried to find out Chu Qiuli's situation several times, but to no avail.
Just when he was worried, Ning Zhumang on the side suddenly said, "Let me try it." ”
Xu Han then remembered that Ning Zhumang was the head of Linglong Pavilion, he was born in Hanging River Peak, and in terms of medical attainments, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in the Great Zhou Jianghu. Xu Han figured this out, hurriedly got out of the way, and Ning Zhumang took action to start probing Chu Qiuli's situation.
But this is still not an easy thing, I saw Ning Zhumang help Chu Qiuli's body up, and he also sat aside, wandering through Chu Qiuli's meridians with internal strength, trying to find out the crux of the problem.
But from Ning Zhumang's frowning brows and the sweat stains that gradually surfaced on his forehead, Xu Han also guessed that it would probably take a long time to find out where Chu Qiuli's abnormality came from.
Time is ticking by.
It was difficult for Xu Han to tell from Ning Zhumang's ugly face and Chu Qiuli's expression as if he was asleep, whether the direction of things was good or bad.
Yan Qi and Xue Ning also frowned deeply, obviously extremely concerned about Chu Qiuli's situation, but like Xu Han, they couldn't do anything that could help Chu Qiuli.
Even Xuan'er and Woo seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and hung their heads on the side, losing their frolicking in the past.
"Little friend..."Just when Xu Han was at a loss, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
Xu Han was stunned for a moment and turned around to look. But I didn't know when Mr. Wei was already standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.
"Mr. Wei..." Xu Han wanted to say something in a small way, but was interrupted by Mr. Wei before he could say anything.
The old man turned to the side and said, "Can you take a step to speak?" ”
Xu Han was stunned again, but he realized that at this moment, Mr. Wei suddenly looked for him, and he was afraid that it had something to do with Chu Qiuli, so after a slight hesitation, he nodded.
......
As Mr. Wei walked into his room, Xu Han asked straight to the point, "Does Mr. Wei know what happened to Brother Chu?"
It's just that compared to Xu Han's anxiety, Mr. Wei is not in a hurry.
He didn't answer Xu Han's question at the first time, but walked to the bed by himself and found a comfortable place to sit down. Only then did he look at Xu Han and said, "In this world, there are many things that are unfair. ”
"For example, some people are born as kings and grandsons, children of destiny, and true dragons, and some people are born as beggars, running around and working hard for a livelihood, even if they are lucky enough to be a dragon and snake, they can't escape the fate of making wedding dresses for others. ”
When he said this, the old man still had that familiar smile on his face, but Xu Han's face changed at that time, his eyebrows sank, and he asked again, "What does Mr. want to say?"
"And sometimes the rules of heaven and earth are terriblely fair. The old man didn't seem to feel Xu Han's strangeness, and continued to speak slowly: "Folks often say that the king of Hades let you die in the third watch, and you can't stay until the fifth watch. ”
"Someone changed the debt of the king of Hades, and when it was time to repay the debt, it would be enough to make people bankrupt and lose all their money..."
Hearing this, Xu Han's face changed again.
He understood some of the old man's words, but he didn't understand a little.
He looked at the old man inexplicably, but there was only a smile on the old man's face, and he was a little unsure of the old man's thoughts, but he still asked at that time: "Then what does Mr. Yi think of Brother Chu's current situation?"
The old man did not speak this time, but only stretched out one of his hands, which he retracted with his thumb and little finger, and the other three fingers out.
"Three months?" Xu Han's face became more and more ugly.
But before he could say this, the old man shook his head.
"Three days?"
Xu Han asked again, and the old man was silent, which was acquiescence.
"Sir, is there a way to save him?" Xu Han didn't believe that since Mr. Wei saw the crux of Chu Qiuli's problem, he stayed here to talk, just to tell Xu Han that Chu Qiuli only had three days to live.
"Hades's debts are not easy to repay, the old man is a businessman, does Brother Xu want the old man to do this loss-making business?" the old man responded with a smile, which undoubtedly acquiesced to Xu Han's speculation.
"What does Mr. want?" asked Xu Han with deep eyes.
"Brother Xu, what do you think can buy a life for Brother Chu from Lord Yama?" the old man asked rhetorically.
Xu Han was stunned again, what could be exchanged for a life...
It's a hard question, but in a sense, it's also a very simple one.
Xu Han froze in place, not knowing how to continue the topic.
Mr. Wei smiled again.
"There are still three days to go, Brother Xu can think about it..."
"Think about it, it's incumbent on you..."
"If you don't think about it, then you should spend the rest of your days with Brother Chu. ”
