The New Year is approaching, and Tang Rui decides to stay and spend the New Year before leaving.

To be honest, Tang Rui never thought that he would celebrate the New Year in this world, and all of this should be attributed to Uncle Long, who set these festivals here.

Along the way, whether it is language, writing, festivals...... Even the name of the casino is really Uncle Long's "invention and creation". Without him, I am afraid it would be difficult to get to where I am now. Although there is still no news, Tang Rui always firmly believes that they will meet again, and only hopes that Uncle Long can last until that day.

On this day, Tang Rui and Hong'er went to Xiang's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together.

Looking at the lights on the street, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, Tang Rui recalled the scene when he spent the New Year on Earth, when the family was still together, his parents, and his sister. Dad is usually very serious, but when it comes to the Chinese New Year, he plays with his heart, accompanies him and the eight brothers to set off firecrackers and play cards, as if he is back in his youth. He and the eight brothers always used firecrackers to scare Meng Yao and them, and they would often be beaten violently, and Uncle Long would always look at them with a smile while grilling fish.

Although he can't help but miss when he thinks back to the past, but now he is not as alone as he was when he first came, the masters are like grandfathers, Uncle Xiang and Aunt Xiang are like parents, and the brothers and sisters are like brothers and sisters. The warmth, the warmth they gave him, drove away the loneliness in his heart.

"Tang Rui, what do you want?

"Nothing. Tang Rui came back to his senses.

"I must be homesick. Hong'er said with big eyes.

"Hmm", Tang Rui nodded.

"I don't want to be out there forever. Hong'er pouted.

Tang Rui had already known Hong'er's experience before, although he didn't know why he was so cold to his daughter as a father, but he always firmly believed in one thing in his heart, that is, there is no parent in the world who does not love his child, and there must be another hidden secret.

But I'm afraid I won't be able to solve it for a while, so I can only take one step at a time.

After a while, the two of them arrived in front of the familiar door. At this time, the word Fu was pasted on the gate, and two big red lanterns were hung, which was full of joy and peace.

Tang Rui pushed the door open and entered the hall.

Xiang Lin was sitting idlely, and when he saw Tang Rui coming in, his eyes immediately lit up and he got up to greet him.

"Brother Xiang Lin. Tang Rui smiled, Xiang Lin smiled, his eyes narrowed into a thin slit.

Uncle Xiang and Aunt Xiang were arranging for the servants to do things, and turned around when they heard the sound.

"Uncle Xiang, Aunt Xiang. Tang Rui exclaimed softly.

"Tang Rui, Hong'er, you are here. Aunt Xiang said with a smile.

"Haha, it's just in time, let's start eating right away. Uncle Xiang laughed heartily.

After a few moments, a whole table of dishes was filled.

"Xiaoyu doesn't know if there is anyone around him now? It's also a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Aunt Xiang said while serving the meal.

"Didn't you hear Tang Rui say? Xiaoyu has made a lot of friends now. Worry about it. Uncle Xiang said while pouring wine for Tang Rui.

"I don't know if this stupid boy will make some friends like Miss Hong'er. Aunt Xiang handed the prepared meal to Tang Rui and advised, "Tang Rui, you can teach my stupid son more." ”

Tang Rui didn't think much about it, nodded stupidly, and turned his head to see Hong'er looking at him angrily.

Only then did he realize that he had done something wrong and hurriedly buried his head in the rice.

Seeing this, Aunt Xiang smiled slightly, and said in her heart: Hong'er, this girl is really similar to me when I was young. Then he sandwiched a large chopstick dish, "Hong'er, come, eat vegetables." ”

Hong'er put away her anger and raised the bowl to catch it with a smile.

Xiang Lin looked at Tang Rui's appearance and snickered.

"Lin'er, you are not too young, and you have to solve your own affairs. Aunt Xiang said meaningfully.

Xiang Lin suddenly stopped laughing, raised his head with his chest straight, and said confidently: "Mother, don't worry, I will bring it back to your satisfaction, the tiger father has no dogs." ”

Aunt Xiang couldn't help laughing when she heard this, and scolded while laughing: "This kid is really ......." By the end, he was speechless with laughter.

The other three were stunned for half a second, and then they all laughed. In the midst of laughter, Tang Rui felt as if he had returned home.

Xiang Lin called Tang Rui over mysteriously.

"What?......" Tang Rui exclaimed. Xiang Lin hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Hey, can you go low!" Xiang Lin said, his little eyes glanced around a few times, but fortunately no one noticed.

Tang Rui nodded, and Xiang Lin let go of his hand.

"Brother Xiang Lin, I didn't expect you to have this hobby. Tang Rui said with a look of surprise.

"It's not a hobby, but it's just an occasional attempt at luck. Xiang Lin felt a sense of apology for "disrespecting the old".

"Are you going or not?" Xiang Lin asked again.

From childhood to adulthood, Tang Rui's gambling experience was all petty fights between partners, real casinos, casinos, he had never been in, what the casino was like here, he was very curious.

"Okay. Tang Rui readily agreed.

When Xiang Lin heard this, his eyebrows flew, but he quickly drooped down again, "Tang Rui, gambling money requires capital, but I ...... No. ”

"Don't worry, I made a lot of money from auctioning pills before, so I can borrow you. Tang Rui looked like he had a big bag of land.

"Really, fake, you can still refine medicine?" Xiang Lin exclaimed.

"The dignified seventh-grade alchemist is not blowing. Tang Rui said proudly.

"Seven products?" Xiang Lin admired, this junior brother was really extraordinary, and then said happily: "Okay, it's good to have the capital, let's go." ”

Tang Rui nodded.

The two went out secretly, and Hong'er was chatting with Aunt Xiang, not paying attention to Tang Rui's whereabouts.

Xiang Lin was obviously a repeat offender, and he was very familiar with the route to the casino, so he turned east and west, and soon arrived at the casino called "Las Vegas".

Xiang Lin walked in with a pilgrim-like gaze, Tang Rui followed, as soon as he entered, his facial features were instantly swept away, and what he saw was a circle of people with blazing eyes, and all he heard was the endless shouting, "Pressure big and small, buy and leave"......

Tang Rui instantly felt as if he had come to a new world, and it turned out that this was the legendary casino.

Xiang Lin likes to bet on dice, so he went straight to the dice area, Tang Rui followed behind him, and the two pushed aside the crowd of onlookers and finally squeezed in.

Today's dealer is a middle-aged man with a goatee, and his eyes are like foxes, clever and cunning. Tang Rui faintly felt that this person's gambling skills must be extraordinary.

Xiang Lin's dice kept ringing in the cup, and every time at this time, Tang Rui couldn't help but be nervous, although he knew that he had met his opponent today, and he actually lost five games in a row.

Tang Rui decided not to gamble and take a look at the situation first. Xiang Lin started directly, and the goatee was added as soon as he saw it, and a trace of joy flashed in his eyes.

"How can this be!" Amid the shouts of the crowd, Goatee once again took all the money in the field into his arms. In six consecutive rounds, except for the first game where the dealer lost a little money, the next five games were all killed by the banker.

Xiang Lin didn't believe in evil, and continued to bet, who knew that today he was haunted by bad luck for some reason, and he still couldn't win or lose.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

The goatee's eyes were wide open, revealing a bit of almost crazy heat, which was the irrepressible ecstasy of winning. It was quite unpleasant to see everyone's hearts.

"I lost again, and it seems that I can only fight another day. Xiang Lin turned around, his face was like an earthy face.

Tang Rui also didn't believe in evil, and after Xiang Lin was gone, he added it.

The goatee looked like he was just a white-faced boy, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

In the first game, the dealer lost, and Tang Rui won a small one. Xiang Lin saw that the fortune had changed, and instantly turned from sadness to joy.

But this is only the beginning of a long defeat, and then, that incomprehensible cycle of "kill-through-the-kill" begins again.

Every time he heard the sound of the dice hitting in the shaker, Tang Rui couldn't help but feel nervous in his heart, after all, it was the money he had earned from his hard work in refining medicine, and he was really unwilling to lose it for nothing.

Others don't think the same way, everyone wants to get back the money they lost, but it backfires, and their hopes are always disappointed. Even the blow of losing made everyone's attention a little distracted, and they didn't notice someone's lightning-fast movements.

"Boss, what should I do with the old man?" said a young man who had just joined the gambling game.

"Return all your winnings and don't even want to set foot in the casino!" replied the boss.

The goatee heard this, and his movements were a little slower.

The young man smiled slightly, grabbed his right arm violently, the goatee's face changed greatly, the young man broke his hand, and the two dice slipped to the ground, dripping and spinning.

When everyone saw it, they immediately exclaimed, and then they scolded. When the goatee saw that the matter was revealed, he had to admit it, and returned all the money he had won to the loser, his eyes were as gray as a layer of soil, as if he had aged dozens of years all of a sudden.

Xiang Lin and Tang Rui were overjoyed after getting the money back, they originally thought they had lost a lot, but they didn't expect to come back in an instant.

Because of this episode, the atmosphere of the casino immediately changed a lot, and some people who originally planned to go out of the house stopped one after another. Xiang Lin and Tang Rui separated and went to other circles, continued to gamble, and finally came to good luck and won a lot.

"Good luck. Tang Rui heard a sound of praise behind him.

Tang Rui turned his head and saw that this person's thin eyebrows were flying obliquely, with a smile in his eyes, and he was shaking a folding fan in his hand, and he was full of a relaxed and elegant atmosphere, it was the young man just now.

"Thank you Brother Tai for your help, otherwise we would have been deceived. Tang Rui temporarily withdrew from the gambling game and turned around to thank him.

"It's a small thing. The young man waved his hand, "The person I hate to deceive the most in my life, and when I meet him today, it's just a gesture." ”

"Thank you very much. ”

"I don't know my brother's name?" said the young man with a smile.

"My name is Tang Rui. Tang Rui replied casually.

"Tang Rui?" The young man glanced at Tang Rui's white hair and asked with a face, "Could it be that the white-haired boy Tang Rui?"

Tang Rui was stunned for half a second, why did this sound so familiar, remembering that almost everyone who heard his name would ask this question.

"Uh...... Be. Tang Rui almost wanted to deny it, but he was undoubtedly the white-haired boy Tang Rui, which was a fact that he couldn't rely on.

"I've heard of it before, but I never wanted to see it here. The young man smiled and said, "In Xia Jiangping." ”

"Meeting is fate, I wonder if we can enjoy the light and have a drink together another day?" Jiang Ping asked tentatively.

"Okay. Tang Rui was grateful to him for helping him, so he naturally agreed.

"Then tomorrow evening, how about the 'GreenTree Inn' restaurant?" Jiang Ping invited.

Tang Rui nodded.

"Hello, I'll see you tomorrow. After Jiang Ping finished speaking, he left with a smile.
