In the next two days, I began to make various preparations for going to Qilu.
At noon that day, I went to find He Xiaoshi.
Because Xiaoduo has been in a low mood recently, He Xiaoshi stays with Xiaoduo every day and tries every means to make her happy.
We have also moved from the hotel to Zheng Ruhuan's former manor.
When I found He Xiaoshi, she had just come out of Xiaoduo's room.
The moment he saw me, He Xiaoshi suddenly made a silence gesture.
"This girl didn't sleep last night, and she just fell asleep for less than ten minutes..." Junquge
"Why!"
I sighed slightly.
Although I knew earlier that this incident would have a great impact on Xiaoduo.
But I didn't expect the impact would be so big.
"Xiao Shi, do you think this is okay? We will leave for Quancheng the day after tomorrow. You and Xiao Duo should not go there yet. You can accompany her for a walk to relax..."
Just as He Xiaoshi was about to speak, a security guard at the door suddenly walked over quickly.
As soon as he came to me, he said respectfully:
"Boss Chu, there is a gentleman named Liu Baiyu at the door. He wants to see you. Do you want to see him?"
I thought Liu Baiyu had left Bashu, but I didn't expect that he was still here.
After thinking about it, I said:
"Let him come in..."
The security left shortly after.
I saw two security guards walking over with Liu Baiyu.
Just like before, Liu Baiyu's elegant appearance still couldn't hide his suave temperament.
"Mr. Chu, I'm disturbing you again!"
Liu Baiyu is polite and courteous, even when facing me, a junior in the world.
I said a few polite words casually, and Liu Baiyu said again:
"Mr. Chu, where is Xiaoduo? Is she okay?"
I glanced in the direction of Xiaoduo's room and said softly:
"She's a little depressed, but I think she can come out of it!"
"Then can I meet her?"
He Xiaoshi and I looked at each other and explained:
"She didn't sleep last night and just fell asleep now. How about you wait until she wakes up and I'll ask her?"
Liu Baiyu sighed and shook his head slightly.
"Then forget it. I came today because I wanted to see her for the last time. But since she is asleep, let's forget it..."
ah?
He Xiaoshi and I looked at each other.
The last one?
What does this mean?
"Are you going back to Yundian?"
I asked tentatively.
Liu Baiyu shook his head.
"No, the bet between my brother and I will start tonight!"
This bet was made during the ceremony where Zheng Ruhuan washed his hands in a golden basin.
I thought it would take a long time, but I didn't expect it to start so soon.
But I'm still a little surprised that Liu Baiyu ranks third on the Qianmen Star Reaching List.
Moreover, I have seen his dice-playing technique.
You know, I thought Qian Shu was pretty good. But I didn't see what method he used to open the dice cup.
But what he just said seemed like he thought he would lose.
"The game of life and death has begun, and the fate has been decided. Mr. Chu, I, Liu Baiyu, have countless love, debts and bad luck in my life. But the thing that makes me feel most uneasy is the child Xiaoduo. Mr. Chu, I wonder if you can Help me take care of her, and then enlighten her. You can tell her that everything is wrong with me. Let her not be angry with her mother again. If possible, I am willing to die to atone..."
My focus was not on the second half of what Liu Baiyu said.
I'm still wondering, why does he think he must lose?
I opened my mouth and asked:
"Although I'm not familiar with Mr. Liu, I've heard that Mr. Liu is a master of a thousand skills. Why do you think you will lose?"
Liu Baiyu smiled freely and said slowly:
"Back then, I came to Bashu to teach Chengbing Qianshu, and Uncle Huo treated me with courtesy. But I was ignorant and seduced his wife. This also led to today's disaster. In this life and death situation, I should return the right to him.
Already..."
I didn't expect Liu Baiyu to think this way.
And his attitude towards life and death was extremely free and easy.
I couldn't help but think of Mr. Hong's words about Liu Baiyu: He was greedy for money and lustful, but he was also upright.
Liu Baiyu continued:
"Of course, this is just my words. In terms of thousands of skills, I am not the opponent of the person Uncle Huo is looking for..."
I was shocked, what kind of person could make Liu Baiyu say such a thing.
"Who did Uncle Huo invite?"
I immediately asked.
"Although he didn't say it, I can guess it. The other party should be Huo Yutong, the Thousand-Handed Jade Fox..."
Huo Yutong?
My heart was shocked.
This Huo Yutong must be the Plum Blossom Girl I saw last time in Bashu.
At that time, Huo Yuhan and I were betting, and when Plum Blossom Girl opened the dice, the dice fell down.
And I don't think her method is very clever.
But why does Liu Baiyu feel that he is not her opponent?
"Is she famous in Qianmen?"
I asked again out of curiosity.
Liu Baiyu shook his head.
"Not famous!"
"Then how can she defeat you in a thousand skills?"
Liu Baiyu smiled slightly, shook his head and said:
"In a thousand arts, talent is important, but a famous teacher is even more indispensable..."
"Who is her master?"
Facing my curiosity, Liu Baiyu slowly shook his head:
"Forget it, I won't mention the past of old friends in the world. I guess he doesn't want to be remembered in this way..."
As he spoke, Liu Baiyu looked at me solemnly and said:
"On the sixth day of the lunar month, please take care of Xiaoduo!"
As he spoke, he cupped his hands into fists and bowed to me.
I hurriedly returned the gift, but Liu Baiyu turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a female voice coming from the direction of the room:
