Hidden Blade Chapter 54: Some diseases, no medicine can be cured
Qianjintai.
is actually a gambling shop.
After Xu Han walked into it, Qin Keqing looked at the crowds gathered together in the room, and listened to the waves of "buy big, buy small, buy out of hand". She just woke up.
She frowned, and she instinctively disliked such a place, who had never touched these things since she was a child.
"Master Xu, what are we doing here?" She asked softly.
Xu Han didn't say a word, pulled her and squeezed into a table aside, and Chu Qiuli behind him also grinned at that time and rubbed his palms and walked up.
A gambling table is only seven feet square, and there are only more than twenty people around it, which shows the various forms of life.
There are people who win the spring breeze, talk and laugh, and are so happy; there are also people who lose face and face red, wanting to be a wife and be a salty fish.
At this time, the gambling round is over, the winner is full of smiles, and the loser gritted his teeth and figured out what else in the house could be mortgaged.
"Come here, buy big and buy small, buy and leave." The dealer began to shake the dice in his hand again, encouraging everyone to place bets.
Xu Han fumbled in his arms and took out a purse, but the man in the inn just now gave it to him. It was full of twelve taels of silver.
This is not a small sum, enough to allow an ordinary family of three to live a prosperous life for a year.
Such a lot of money will naturally inevitably arouse everyone's attention.
"Come on, give it a try." Xu Han smiled and took out some broken silver from the purse and handed it to Qin Keqing.
"This...I can't." Qin Keqing waved his hand again and again when he saw this.
"It's very simple, look at that person." Xu Han pointed his finger at the dice cup in the dealer's hand. "There are three dice in the cup in his hand. It’s called a leopard, and you can win as much as you press."
"But..." Qin Keqing's face was flushed, and a couple of silvers said it was not too much, and said that it was not too much. Besides, she looked at the man who had lost money and clamored to use his wife and children as gambling money. , I always felt that this matter was not right, but after meeting Xu Han's encouraging eyes, Qin Keqing couldn't give birth to any thoughts of rejection for some reason.
"It's okay, just treat it for fun." Xu Han continued to encourage.
Qin Keqing heard that, at that time, he gritted his teeth and put the broken silver randomly on the small place on the gaming table.
At this time, the dealer saw that the big fish entered the urn, and the shaking dice cup stopped for a while, and he shouted: "Buy it!"
Everyone's eyes immediately fell on the dice cup.
Even Qin Keqing subconsciously looked at the dice cup, feeling a little nervous in his mind, only Xu Han and Chu Qiu had their faces as usual, which can be described as calm and relaxed.
Three three two!
The dealer opened the market, and the three dice totaled eight.
Suddenly there was a sound of wailing and cheering in the crowd.
But Qin Keqing looked at the extra silver or two in her hand with a look of surprise, obviously even she herself hadn't expected such a result.
"Come again." But Xu Han's voice suddenly sounded again at that time.
"But..." Qin Keqing was taken aback when she heard the words. In her opinion, gambling was really not a good thing. She was already content with winning a couple of silver, so she wanted to stop and leave. He heard that Xu Han I have to come again, but hesitated.
"It's okay, you just have a good time." Xu Han said softly, with an indescribable gentleness.
Qin Keqing's heart sweetened, and her face turned red, "Yeah." She nodded her head obediently, looking very much like a lovely little daughter-in-law. She thought about it, and put the two taels of silver very casually on the small betting plate.
At this time, the man who was clamoring to sell his wife and children had signed a contract with the treasurer of the casino and returned to the gaming table contentedly with thirty taels of silver. According to the rules of the casino, before noon today, if he can even pay back thirty-five taels of silver, he can take away his wife and children's deeds. If not, his wife and children will no longer be his wife and children.
The man is already possessed at the moment, his eyes are red, holding the gambling money exchanged for his wife and children and standing at the gambling table. People around him are not surprised by this situation, and they don't even look at the man.
The man thought about it, and for some reason he glanced at Xu Han and Qin Keqing, then took out fifty taels of silver from the purse and pressed it on a gambling tray like Qin Keqing.
"Buy it out of hand." The dealer shouted again, and then the cup stopped and opened.
One twenty six! A total of nine, still the small one wins!
Qin Keqing's gambling money changed from two to two to four, and the man who sold his wife and children also earned thirty-five taels.
"Go and change back to your wife and children." Qin Keqing glanced at the man kindly reminded.
"No! No! I have to win another five or two, or my family won't be able to survive this winter." The man murmured with red eyes like a demon.
"..." Qin Keqing felt a little unbearable when he saw this, turned his eyes to Xu Han, as if he wanted him to come up with an idea.
But Xu Han smiled and said: "Coqing, you are lucky, why don't you take him to win another hand?"
Qin Keqing felt something wrong when he heard the words, but after thinking about it, he still pushed the four taels of silver to the small one again. Seeing this, the man seemed convinced that he had met a lucky star today, but he hurriedly took another fifty taels. The money was put on the same gambling market as Qin Keqing.
At this time, the person in charge of rolling the dice saw a sneer flashing from the corner of his mouth. He yelled to buy away from his hand, then lifted the dice cup high for a while and then fell down.
"Open! Open! Open!" The man who sold his wife and children shouted loudly, staring at the dice cup with his eyes fixedly.
Xu Han glanced sideways at Chu Chouli beside him, the big man smiled knowingly, and shook the tabletop imperceptibly with one hand out.
At this time, the dice cup opened, and everyone looked at it.
two three four! Nine in total! Still small!
The dealer's face suddenly became extremely ugly, he looked at the three dice in front of him incredulously, and said nothing for a long time.
Qin Keqing's face also showed a sincere smile, but not for the few pennies she had won, she turned her head to the man on the side and said, "Go faster, you have made enough money. Up."
But who knows that the man shook his head, his face flashed with sickly flushes, "No, I can still win more! In this way, my child and my wife don’t have to daily Fearful and frightened, I will live the days when I have the last meal and then have no next meal!"
"But you are like this..." Qin Keqing's brows suddenly frowned. She felt that the man's idea was wrong, but Xu Han interrupted it before she had time to correct the man.
"Keqing, since he is for his family, you can let him try again." Xu Han said in a low voice, his voice was flat, and he couldn't hear the happiness or anger. In the end, it seemed that he was trying to better persuade Qin Keqing. , He said again: "Isn't there still me?"
Qin Keqing is still a little uneasy in her heart, but she is not stupid, and she is not good at this, and she can win money successively, naturally, she has something to do with Xu Han. Now that Xu Han had spoken, she didn't say anything after all, just took a deep look at the man, and once again pushed the eight taels of silver in her hand to the little one. When the man saw this, he gritted his teeth and directly took out fifteen taels of silver and sent it to Xiao Shang.
The dealer's face grew gloomy when he saw that, he called the scout next to him and whispered a few words in his mouth, then the little servant 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 watched the dice cup slowly being lifted as nervously as everyone else, and the man's eyes were bloodshot, and even the thick blue veins burst on his temples, he was already nervous to the extreme.
six thirty two, a total of eleven, a big number!
The result of this made Qin Keqing's face dark, and the man beat his chest and his feet, and almost passed out. He changed a total of thirty taels of silver. As Qin Keqing won twelve taels, he pushed out ten taels this time. Fifty taels, now he has no more than twenty-five taels of silver, and he wants to redeem his wife and children, and there is still a full ten taels.
As soon as the dice cup opened this time, he could be said to have fallen into the bottom again.
And Qin Keqing also turned to look at Xu Han at that time, her eyes filled with puzzles.
"There are losses and losses, this is a common thing in gambling." Xu Han said.
At this time, another gambling round opened. The man was a little careful and pressed a few ounces of silver, but he lost again. Qin Keqing made the man's face more ugly, and the money bag became more and more dry. He looked at Xu Han as if calling for help, but Xu Han stood there as if he hadn't seen it.
The man went on to bet a few more times, and the remaining 25 taels of silver lost all his money. He suddenly went black and fell straight to the ground. At the moment, he needed a few small servants to come forward. He dragged it and threw it out of the casino 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 would happen to his wife and children after being captured by this gambling house. She wanted to save her, but Xu Han held her back.
"You can't save him~ IndoMTL.com~ Xu Han, who was silent for a long time, finally said.
"Why?" Qin Keqing was puzzled. She stared at Xu Han with wide eyes, secretly feeling that the man in front of her was strange, as if she had met Xu Han for the first time today.
To be fair, Qin Keqing’s appearance is not so beautiful. Compared with Ye Hongjian Fangziyu, not to mention the difference between clouds and mud, but it is not a bit worse, but Xu Han is under the gaze of her. But inexplicably a little irritable.
"There is no cure for people who can even hold their wives and children as 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 became rare and high-pitched.
"No, he is for himself. His selfish desires blinded his mind, but he does these things in the name of others, in the final analysis, to satisfy his own desires."
"If you can save him once, he can bet a second time, a third time...you will never be able to save him."
"Here is his illness." Xu Han pointed his finger at his chest, and his voice suddenly became extremely gloomy: "No medicine can save the heart disease."
Perhaps Xu Han’s voice was too cold, or the truth in Xu Han’s words made Qin Keqing unable to refute, and the girl was stunned for a while.
Xu Han saw this and delivered her to Chu Qiuli's hands.
But his body took a step forward at that time, took out the money bag in his arms again, and put a full nine taels of silver on the leopard between the big and small.
At that time, he looked at the dealer, his eyes full of hostility.
"Come on, I want to try my luck, too."
