Chapter 317 Mixed feelings
Daniu watched a group of people coming in a hurry, and left in a moment, turning his head to look at his shopkeeper. The other party's face was no better than his own.

The originally lively hall became quiet in an instant.

The old storyteller who was still reading the storybook sat on the stage, and Runli raised his voice to continue the story just now.

Qin Lang originally wanted to sit quietly and wait for Ma Yu's return, but suddenly noticed someone beside him.

Turning his head, the fortune-teller with iron teeth and bronze teeth was coming towards his table. Qin Lang watched as the other party gently placed the 100 taels of silver note given by Ma Yu in front of him.

Qin Lang, who was confused, didn't know what the other party meant, and said with a serious expression.

"Since you asked Mr. Ma to go to the Sifang Casino, no matter whether it is true or not, I will wait here for his return."

Su Qingtian raised her eyebrows, knowing that the other party had misunderstood her, she said softly.

"This is money for you and Qin Shan to resettle in Beijing. For 100 taels, you can buy a small courtyard for temporary residence."

"When you settle down, I will go find you."

Hearing his eldest brother's name taboo, Qin Lang's eyes lit up instantly, and there was a look of excitement in his eyes.

"Are you... Miss Su from Liuzhou City?"

The girl nodded and stopped talking, turned her head back to her seat, greeted Daniel to refill the hot tea, and began to listen leisurely to the storyteller talking about the excitement.

Qin Lang recalled Su Qingtian's short sentence just now, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

Miss Su needs the two of them to stay in Beijing for a while, and at the same time, she doesn't want others to know about their relationship. It is estimated that there will be more things that need them later.

Gently folded the banknote and put it in his arms, Qin Lang also sat down silently and didn't even turn his head to look at Su Qingtian.

He will never ruin the benefactor's layout, and he will not let others see that they are familiar with each other.

The teahouse was completely quiet for a while, only the shopkeeper Zhao, who had been behind the counter, looked sad.

He knew in his heart what his young lady said, so Ma Yu would definitely come back soon.

On the other side, the anxious Ma Yu brought Xiao Jingmo to Xiaoyao Street. There were a few strong men standing in front of Sifang Casino, guarding the entrance and exit of the main entrance.

Standing across the street, Ma Yu suddenly hesitated.

He is not afraid of people from Sifang Casino, but...

In fact, Ma Yu didn't know what he was afraid of, but an inexplicable emotion surged out.

Xiao Jingmo stood aside silently, waiting for the other party to make a decision.

Taking a deep breath, Ma Yu strode in.

The people who were waiting to watch the show were discouraged and squatted in the corner to wait.

Compared with the sons of officials like Ma Yu, ordinary people like them can't enter Sifang Casino at will, just because the boss of this gambling shop is a ruthless person.

Anyone who entered his house had to go to the gambling table, otherwise he would be stripped naked and thrown out, not to mention a beating.

Half of these people were Liu Er who came here to find trouble, so they didn't want to have spare money to gamble.

Ma Yu, who knew the rules, took Xiao Jingmo and gambled a few times after entering the door, and it was considered polite to give some loose silver to the owner of the gambling shop.

The two circled around the gambling tables of different sizes a few times, and took a detailed look at the environment in the gambling house by the way.

There are a few thug-like people standing beside each table, and there is a small door behind the gaming table at the end, and there are two tall and strong men guarding the door.

Obviously, this leads to the inner courtyard.

If the little girl is really in the Sifang Gambling Workshop, it must be in the inner courtyard.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Ma Yu and Xiao Jingmo walking forward, the thugs blocked them vigilantly, and said in a low voice.

"It's not a place you can come in and out of! Hurry up!"

"This little brother, we want to discuss a business with Brother Bao."

Xiao Jingmo spoke before Ma Yu, took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the other party's hand, "Please inform me."

Seeing that it was good to accept, the thug's attitude relaxed a lot.

Scanning the two of them up and down again, he said, "Wait."

After speaking, he lifted the curtain and entered the backyard.

The moment the door curtain was raised, Ma Yu saw a little girl squatting by the patio washing clothes, but she couldn't see her face clearly.

It's just that thin figure made Ma Yu's heart tremble, and hope was suddenly ignited.

If the little sister is still alive, because she is about the same age as that little girl, maybe...

Thinking of this, Ma Yu couldn't contain his excitement.

Just waiting for such a short moment made him feel that he was passing the day, and it also reminded him of the feeling when he was waiting for rescue when he was taken captive.

The excitement and frustration kept repeating, making Ma Yu's heart flustered.

"You two, go in."

The thug came back and opened the curtain to greet him.

Ma Yu stepped in before Xiao Jingmo, staring fixedly at the little girl's back, when she was about to turn the corner, she finally put away the washed clothes and stood up.

Looking up, a very ordinary face came into view.

The excited heart fell to the ground with a "boom", and Ma Yu was completely sure that she was not his little sister.

Even after years of training, it is impossible for that lovely and beautiful face to become such an ordinary one.

The emotion of being driven to the bottom spread, and Ma Yu lost all energy for a moment, and followed Xiao Jingmo mechanically in disappointment.

Ma Yu couldn't even arouse the slightest interest until he met Bao Ge, the owner of the casino, and Xiao Jingmo negotiated with him throughout the whole process.

The last appearance of the little girl flashed over and over in his mind, and Ma Yu didn't hear a word of the conversation between the two.

When he looked up again, the thugs suddenly brought seven or eight young girls into the room, and Ma Yu was taken aback.

"Brother, thank you for your kindness."

Brother Leopard smiled boldly, patted Xiao Jingmo on the shoulder and pointed at these children, "They are all worthless little slaves, just take the one you like."

Seeing Ma Yu's confused appearance, Xiao Jingmo approached him and said in a low voice.

"Your little sister is among these people, look carefully."

These words made Ma Yu wake up in an instant, swallowed his saliva and walked over with full energy.

Most of these little slaves were working hard in the gambling workshop, all of them were emaciated and emaciated, shrugging their shoulders and lowering their heads to avoid Ma Yu's gaze.

Taking advantage of the sunlight outside, Ma Yu carefully looked at everyone's appearance one by one.

Skipping aside, his last gaze rested on one of the disheveled little girls,
The little girl is short in stature and extremely thin in appearance, which is completely inconsistent with the age that the little girl should be now.

But she is so similar, in the last memory, the younger sister's appearance is [-] to [-]% similar.

Xiao Jingmo noticed that Ma Yu's eyes were fixed on one of the little slaves, and he stretched out his finger.

"Just her."

When the thugs heard that the distinguished guest had been selected, they grabbed the little girl and threw it in front of Ma Yu and Xiao Jingmo.

She was trembling with fright and was about to cry out, and her eyes, which were already stagnant, instantly showed extreme horror.
