After Hu Xiaoer entered the Zhouji gambling house, I waited in the same place and looked around at the street scene. Each of the seventy-two gambling houses in Shangdu is a golden roof of Zhumen, which is very magnificently decorated, bathed in the soft sunlight at this moment, which is very eye-catching.

But this is a gambling city, a city of greed, and a land of tigers and wolves.

The long street was full of people, and I stood in the middle of the road, which was really in the way, so I moved under the eaves on the side.

Thinking about it carefully, Hu Xiaoer has been in for a long time, and if he just sent a letter, he would have come out a long time ago. But if he was stumped by something else, or if his owner really didn't agree with him going to Chang'an......

I couldn't help but furrow my brows, my face a little worried, and my eyes were fixed on the door of the Zhou Kee Gambling House.

At this time, at the gate of the gambling house, many young men walked in shoulder to shoulder, with money bags in their hands, their eyes shining brightly, but their smiles were very obscene.

"Little girl, little girl?"

My thoughts were interrupted by a hoarse shout, and I turned my head to see an old woman in rags. She was half-hunched, her eyes hidden under her unkempt hair, and her face was stained.

"Mother-in-law, you ......"

"Little girl," she seemed to be very curious about me, straightening her back slightly, and her eyes flashed with a glimmer of light after her messy hair, "I saw you standing here for a long time, but who are you waiting for?"

I nodded with her, "Waiting for my friend." ”

The old woman's hand trembled and stretched out, her expression was a little strange, and she pointed to the Zhou Ji gambling house in front of her and said, "Your friend has entered there." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and nodded to her again. Unexpectedly, she let out a sneer, and her body staggered and almost stood on her feet.

"Don't, don't, don't!" the old woman pushed away my hand and was about to hold hers, "Don't let me, a beggar woman, dirty the girl's hand." ”

After she stood firm, she leaned over again, this time in a lower voice and asked me, "Little girl, in fact, you are waiting for your lover, right?"

I opened my eyes wide and wanted to shake my head to explain, only to see the corners of her mouth raised, her eyes brightened, and her tone became a little weird.

"Little girl, don't wait! this is in the casino, as soon as your lover enters, he will not look back. ”

"No, mother-in-law......"

I panicked for no reason, and before I could finish speaking, I heard a loud shout from the person in front of me, and pointed towards the door of the gambling house.

"Look!"

Where she pointed her finger, a young man who had just walked in was thrown out. Unlike his previous miraculous appearance, now he only has a thin middle coat left on his body, and his nose and face are swollen.

"Oops!"

Sending him out were two strong men, both of whom spat on the ground and scolded: "How dare you come to the casino for this amount of money? Hurry up, or I'll beat you so much that I don't even know your mother!"

The man staggered up from the ground, dragged one of the strong men by the waist, and pleaded in a pleading tone: "Please, big brother, let me in!

The strong man stared at him, "Go in, do you still have any money?"

The man's expression became dazed.

"Even his clothes have been lost, look at his poor and sour appearance!" the other snorted coldly, "Let's go, don't bother with this madman!"

The two raised their legs and were about to leave, when they saw that the man was suddenly awake and shouted, "Yes, yes, two big brothers, I still have it." ”

The strong man stopped, looked at the man and lowered his eyebrows, and his voice trembled, "I, I still have a wife and a concubine at home, yes, you can mortgage it to the gambling house first." Ask the two eldest brothers to let me in, just, just once, this time I will definitely be able to earn Ben back......"

The two of them listened for a moment, and rolled their eyes with a grunt. One of them laughed, "Fool, do you have to earn Bena back?"

The other kicked him so hard that he rolled in pain.

"Get out of here, madman!"

"Big brother, big brother!"

......

When she withdrew her gaze from there, the old woman looked at me with a hint of smugness, "How is it, little girl?

I don't know why she told me this, but my heart has calmed down a lot.

"Mother-in-law, my friend won't. I insisted, "He's not that kind of person." ”

"Really?" the old woman asked softly, staring at me with a face that grew more and more strange.

The colorful sword in his hand seemed to feel something, and it made a "zheng" sound.

I took a few steps back, pretending to look up at the sky on the other side.

It was not yet dusk in Shangdu, but at this moment, half of the sky was dyed with a fiery red. Looking closely, the fiery red was constantly extending in all directions, I frowned slightly, and suddenly heard someone shouting,

"Let's go out of the water!"

I was startled and immediately jumped out of the corner to see the smoke and fire rising from the position of the Zhou Kee Casino. There were quite a few people running out of the gate in a panic, but there was no figure I was familiar with.

Hu Xiaoer is still inside!

I didn't want to rush into the gambling house, and one of the people in the crowd grabbed me and yelled at me, "What are you doing? The fire is burning fiercely, you are looking for death if you go in!"

"No! my friend is still in there!" the colorful sword in the scabbard whined, and I listened even more panicked.

"Hu Xiaoer, Hu Xiaoer!"

The crowd that kept pouring out made it difficult for me to move forward, "Where is Hu Xiaoer?

I was met with more panicked shouts, cries, and curses from the crowd......

"Run, if you don't run, you'll die-"

"Don't go in, there's too much fire inside!"

"My silver, my silver! it's all mine, don't grab it, get out......"

"Hahaha, it's so good! Let you not let me in! It's so good, it's good, it's good, there's nothing, we all have nothing......"

The noise came from all directions, and I had a splitting headache when I heard it, and there was still no figure I was looking for among those who ran out.

"Hu Xiaoer, Hu Xiaoer-"

Slowly, the crowd shrank, and I squeezed to the main entrance of the Zhou Ji Gambling House, only to see that the fire had already burned into the hall. There were fire marks raging everywhere, and there was a mess, and the people in the casino were almost gone. The smoke choked me with tears, and I shouted with all my might,

"Hu Xiaoer, Hu Xiaoer, where are you?"

Boom –

At this moment, the half of the beams suddenly collapsed, and the whole house was shaken by the raging fire. Just as I was unsteady on my feet and almost fell to the ground, several people behind me quickly picked me up and fled from the place.

"Girl, it's too dangerous here, get out of here!"

I was lifted up by the men, my eyes widening and I couldn't think of anything else in my head. Because just as the loud noise fell, the blue shadow appeared in front of my eyes. This time his face was a little clearer, so clear that he could see the two pear vortices at the corners of his mouth.

I still remember that when I was half dizzy and half awake that day, I leaned on his back and asked him, "Hu Xiaoer, you, what's your name?"

......

Finally, he lowered his voice and said to me, "Qinghe." ”

Be......

Hu, Qinghe......
