Chapter 55
###55 Every Bet Must Lose
Although Xiaoyu wanted to relieve her master's worries, she couldn't figure out the direction.It's just that compared to the time when I lived and ate in the building for free, and besides reading and playing the piano every day, now I have an extra pair of eyes and an extra thought.

This kind of thinking is Ye Xiaolou, and even some people feel uncomfortable when they don't see each other for a long time, as if they are entangled with a few strands of water plants.

After the rain, the mountains were green. She stretched out and walked out of Guize Pavilion. She walked through the southern path and walked to the North Pole Pavilion without knowing it.

It was here last night that I watched the master sleeping soundly.There was a hint of morning glow on his cheeks, he lowered his head and quickened his pace.

People in the Arctic Pavilion also saw Xiaoyu's hesitant stay and then hurried away. Why didn't that person want to take a leisurely walk in the green mountains with her after the rain.There are few pleasant things in life and endless opportunities, but to him they are just as boring as bluestones in the mountains, year after year.

But she is like a ray of starlight, a unique leaf.

Ye Xiaolou stood under the eaves of the corridor, quietly gazing at the sky.Even the hummingbirds couldn't send back the news of the Sui'an Prefecture's closure of the city and the murders in time. One can imagine how fast the perpetrators were and how vicious their hearts were.

In Sui'an Mansion, every household wears filial piety and wears linen.Those who were lucky enough to survive did not abandon the land or leave their hometown, so why did they suffer greater misfortune.Who could kill someone so painfully?If he knew it would end like this, it would be better to leave Sui'an and wander around.

If all the people in a place are scattered and dead, it won't matter no matter how beautiful the scenery is.

Who would do that?

He planned to see someone, and when it was time to see him, the door of blood and light was already open, and everyone who should come would come.

After the holy lake was stained with blood, the lake and the moon were the same color, like blood and ink. After tonight, everyone who needs to wake up will wake up.

And that person may have already woken up.

Ye Qing stayed in the building for many days this time because of his weird hobby - gambling like his life.

Ye Qing can be regarded as a master in this. He is cold in his bones and turned into a face and a heart.Ever since he was infected and thrown away until now.Whether it was gambling, five-wood fighting, cricket or cock fighting in the market, Shuanglu or horse fighting in the boudoir, Ye Qing was proficient in everything, and could often gamble heavily while drinking, so he could win or lose under control.

The first time he met Ye Qing, Ye Xiaolou had just taken over Jing Xianglou.On that day, the Lantern Festival was being held in Jinling City, and the gambling building was very lively.Around the big table in the center are layers of men and women.

Among the group of men and women, a thick hand stretched out, and a ragged boy was thrown out from the center of the crowd by that hand.

The boy was thrown with such force that he flew all the way to the bottom of the gambling building, and fell to the ground with a crash.

The crowd on the street hurriedly dispersed and retreated. Ye Xiaolou stood there, neither hiding nor reaching out to pick up the boy.He almost watched the boy fall to the ground from a high place.

If thrown out of the building by such a force, the life of an ordinary child is likely to be in danger. Even if he is not killed on the spot, he may still be disabled.

Ye Xiaolou was bored and took a look at the child on the ground. He looked like he was only seven or eight years old, with a clean and smart face.This face makes people think that it is smart at first glance, but it is too smart, too smart, too showy, and too conspicuous.It's probably because of this that he was killed.

Ye Xiaolou checked the boy's body. Although his breathing was weak, fortunately, only two ribs were broken. He gently moved his hands to temporarily relieve his pain.Unexpectedly, the boy felt very alarmed. He woke up suddenly, raised his upper body and asked, "Who are you? Why did you touch me?"

Ye Xiaolou clapped his hands, as if they were stained with something dirty.She turned her back to him and said, "You won't die, but it will be impossible to get up and walk."

Hearing this, the boy remembered that he had won too much at the gambling table just now, was hated by others, and was finally thrown out of the window by a fat man like a vat.He hurriedly checked where he was injured, but he didn't feel any pain on his body. He thought that this young man must have deceived himself, and said, "Where did the wound come from? Could it be that you did something to me just now?"

"How do you speak? If the master wants to hurt you, why should he relieve the pain for you? You are a stinky guy who doesn't know a good heart. You are dirty and covered with mud. You have soiled our master's clothes. You have to pay for it." up?"

The girl looked to be about the same age as the young man called the master, only a year or two older at most. She was really exquisite and generous, but her words were unruly and sarcastic. The onlookers were whispering to each other as if they were watching a show.

"The one in white is your master?" the boy asked.

The girl raised her chin and replied proudly: "Exactly, he is the owner of the mirror building, the first floor in the world. You are a blind person, and you don't know how to repay your benefactor. You are still talking nonsense here. It's really annoying." .”

Before the boy could speak again, Ye Xiaolou had already returned to the carriage, and the girl only heard a cold order in her ear: "Take him back."

No matter how unwilling she was, she could not disobey her master's orders.No matter how doubtful he was in his heart, he was as smart as a boy and knew that he could avoid today's murderous disaster by going back with them.

The boy Ye Xiaolou rescued that day was Ye Qing. This young man who later became very popular with his wife is now extremely handsome, graceful and heroic.A pair of eyes can confuse many young girls. If he wants to please you, even a chaste woman will find it difficult to resist.

His hands were gentler than those of women. If he walked through the market in a showy manner, the woman who brought him flowers and fruits would probably block the market.

Ye Xiaolou didn't deliberately hide his breath, but neither of the two people in the room noticed that he had been standing outside the room for a long time.

Ye Qing is holding a sapphire cup in one hand and holding his head in the other. His long hair is like a waterfall, flowing down his back. There is no trace of the slovenly appearance of a gambler. He is clearly a leisurely and contented person drinking in the bamboo forest, listening to music and chatting.

It's a pity that there is neither bamboo forest nor music here, only a scholar and a handsome man.The two of them had been gambling for eighty games in a row since the day before, and each of them only rested for two hours. Ye Xiaolou looked at the scholar's face and saw that he had lost three games in a row, losing all his medicine boxes and bottles. Ye Qing has gambling debts.In the end, only half of the clothes were left on him.

It can be said to be a lot of gambling debts.It is said that when the gambler's luck is good, he can still think of buying some wine and going to Liuxiang to find a girl for fun.If he loses again and again, or faces the same opponent, his soul will be like a black cloth, wandering around, with a dead brain that even the Kunlun Immortal can't turn around.

At this moment, the scholar was so deluded that if his hair could be exchanged for money, he would sell all his hair.

Ye Qing didn't mind it either, as long as he threw everything the scholar gave him at his feet.The chair looked fresh and elegant. Under the chair, there were pearls, flowers, jade, silk, gold and silver, and a few fine silk clothes. They were all stepped on the ground with his bare feet and used as rags to wipe his feet. , a stepping stone.
