The boss immediately stepped forward and shook my hand.
"Sir, how did you know?"
"I've just eaten the lion-head goose from Tuocheng..."
ah?
The boss's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.
I guess he must have regarded me as a gourmet.
Su Mei and Zou Xiaoxian also looked stunned.
Neither of them expected that I could report the place of origin.
"How did you know?"
Su Mei couldn't help but ask me.
"Because I stayed in Tuocheng for a year. I would eat foie gras for almost every meal. I just said that this dish is not bad, but I don't mean that the dish is average. It's just that I was a little injured after eating foie gras.
…”
After hearing my words, the two of them looked at each other.
Especially Zou Xiaoxian.
She was still sulking and glared at me fiercely.
Indeed, it was too frustrating for her to lose this game.
But, what I said is indeed the truth.
Tuocheng is close to the sea.
Besides seafood, the most famous one is smoked goose.
People in Tuocheng are also fond of gambling.
Back then, there were several masters of the Ting Sicang Party who lived in Qianmen, southern Guangdong, and hid here.
Liuye wanted me to truly listen to the wind from ten miles away.
They specially took me to visit them.
Mr. Liu is good at wine, beauty, and delicious food.
He has a special liking for the foie gras from Tuocheng Lionhead Goose.
This also leads me to eat it almost every meal.
I did learn a lot that year.
But this foie gras really made me vomit.
I won the bet.
But I don’t want to continue sitting here and looking at Zou Xiaoxian’s depressed face.
I excused myself to smoke and went straight out and went downstairs.
The moment the door of the box was closed, Zou Xiaoxian was heard saying angrily in the box:
"I'm so angry. This can also help him win. Sooner or later I have to turn this game around and take care of this sixth grader..."
I sneered in my heart.
She said I love gambling.
I admit it.
But I am a scammer, not a gambler.
How could I bet with her if I wasn't sure of winning?
When I got downstairs, I lit a cigarette.
Standing at the railing, looking at the river view not far away.
Just took two puffs.
Suddenly, I heard a woman's voice coming from behind.
"Master Chu Liu!"
I was shocked.
Since I learned thousands of skills, I can say that I have a sharp ear and eyesight.
Even the subtle sounds around me can be heard clearly.
And now, this person suddenly appeared behind me.
But I didn't hear any movement at all.
Looking back, I feel more at ease.
I just didn't expect it.
The person who called me turned out to be Xiaoduo.
Since last time, Lao Hei and I chased Xiaoduo for money and got acquainted with Mr. Niu, I haven't seen her again.
Unexpectedly, I met him here today.
"Why are you here?"
This kind of restaurant is for Rongmen.
Not a good place to start stealing.
Because there are not many people here.
"I have been following you..."
I was shocked again.
This little girl actually followed me all the way.
But I had no idea.
From this point of view, this girl is indeed a master of the honor family.
"What's up?"
I looked at Xiaoduo and asked lightly.
This time, Xiaoduo was not dressed like a beggar like last time.
Although the clothes she wore were a little old, they were clean.
My face was washed and my hair was tied up.
Xiaoduo, who revealed the true face of Mount Lu, really made my eyes shine.
I have to admit, she is a little beauty.
Ordinary thieves have sly eyebrows and twinkling eyes.
But her eyes were clear and bright.
But there was still an unruly wildness in his eyes.
"Master Chu Liu, I want to borrow some money from you?"
"How many?"
Although I didn't ask, I could guess.
The reason why she asked me to borrow money was probably related to Niu Lao's health.
Once I heard it, I asked how many.
Xiaoduo couldn't help lowering his head and his voice became much softer.
"Three hundred thousand!"
Three hundred thousand?
I couldn't help but be stunned.
To me, this is not a small sum of money.
I have been traveling for more than half a year.
Now, I only have a deposit of 70,000 yuan.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Xiaoduo raised his head, looked at me, and said confidently:
"Don't worry, Mr. Chu Liu. I will definitely pay you back the money as soon as possible. I really have no other way now. In Habei, the people I know are all from Rongmen, and they don't have much money.
.The only one who can help me now is you..."
"Is there something wrong with Mr. Niu's health?"
My tone is still cold.
Xiaoduo nodded.
"Well, where is the hospital now..."
"take me!"
I called Su Mei and told her.
Xiaoduo and I went to the hospital.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the hospital, I couldn't help but feel a little thump in my heart.
This hospital is a cancer hospital.
Everyone knows what it means to live here.
Xiaoduo also briefly explained the situation to me.
Niu Lao kept having a headache and felt weak all over.
He didn't want to come to the hospital.
Despite Xiaoduo's hard work, I still came for an examination.
Brain tumor!
But it's not certain whether it's benign or malignant.
This can only be determined after the surgery.
On the hospital bed, Mr. Niu was wearing an oxygen mask.
The whole person was already unconscious.
Xiaoduo and I stood at the door of the hospital bed, watching through the glass.
That moment.
I feel a little sad.
Not only because the cow is old.
Also because of Mr. Liu.
Liu Ye's age is similar to that of Niu Lao.
After being away from him for so long, we never contacted him again.
And he didn't even tell me his mobile phone number.
While I was watching, a doctor came over.
Looking at Xiaoduo, he asked with concern:
"Little girl, you must hurry up and prepare money. This old man can't delay like this anymore. His life may be in danger at any time!"
The unruly Xiaoduo became extremely obedient at this time.
She lowered her head and said "I understand."
The entrance of the hospital.
I called Lao Hei.
Ask him to bring his bank card too.
But Xiaoduo always followed me without saying a word.
Not long after, Lao Hei drove up.
When I got off the car and saw Xiaoduo behind me, he couldn't help but be startled.
Then, he asked me:
"I thought there was a game, what happened?"
I briefly explained what happened to Mr. Niu.
As soon as I finished speaking, I handed my and Lao Hei's bank cards to Xiaoduo.
"There are a total of 100,000 yuan in the two cards. This is all our belongings. You can take it first..."
Xiaoduo glanced at her bank card, but she didn't accept it.
Instead, he said to me with a gloomy look on his face:
"Master Chu Liu, this, this is not, not enough..."
Xiaoduo's voice was not loud, a little stilted.
I know, say this.
It also requires a lot of courage for her.
After all, we just met each other.
Being able to help her is already pretty good.
"I don't know enough, but I only have so much!"
With that said, I put the bank in her hand, turned around and prepared to get in the car.
Xiaoduo hurriedly stopped in front of me.
She looked at me with a bitter face and said anxiously:
"Master Chu Liu! Last time you met Grandpa Niu, you said that Hengrong Lange is a family. Now Grandpa Niu is in trouble. Master Chu Liu, can you think of a way to help him this time. No matter Grandpa Niu,
Can you pass this life-and-death test? Don't worry, I will definitely repay you double the money in the future!"
Xiaoduo looked anxious.
I know that what she said was from the bottom of her heart.
Looking at her expectant eyes, I still shook my head indifferently.
"I'm sorry, that's all I can help!"
I know.
See here.
Some people must think that I am cold and heartless.
But there is no way.
This is Jianghu.
This is life.
I am not a Bodhisattva, let alone a Holy Mother.
This is the only thing I can do when we meet by chance.
Xiaoduo's eye circles were red.
But she is very stubborn.
He stopped in front of me and said:
"Master Chu Liu, I know that I am forcing others to make things difficult for me. But I am really desperate. I am an orphan, without a father and a mother. Without Grandpa Niu, I would have become the prey of wild dogs in the wilderness.
I must repay Grandpa Niu's kindness. Master Chu Liu, I know you are a member of a thousand families. Today, I don't care if you borrow money, I just ask you to bet with me..."
"What to bet on?"
I looked at Xiaoduo confused.
Suddenly, Xiaoduo flipped her hand.
He put two fingers together and placed them on his neck.
Her action shocked both Lao Hei and me.
Others don't know.
But we both know.
Between Xiaoduo's two fingers, there is an extremely sharp blade.
Just a slight swipe of her finger.
She will definitely be bleeding on the spot.
"Just bet on whether I will live or die with this one blow!"
There was wild determination in this girl's eyes.
But my expression became increasingly grim.
"Are you threatening me?"
Xiaoduo shook his head.
"Do you really think I care about your life or death?"
Xiaoduo shook his head again.
"I don't dare expect Mr. Chu Liu to care!"
As soon as the words fell.
Suddenly, she knelt down in front of me.
"Master Chu Liu, Xiaoduo knows a thousand rules and is willing to admit defeat. Xiaoduo makes a bet. If Master Chu Liu loses, you will take care of Grandpa Niu for me. If he can't survive this, then I'll trouble you.
, find a cemetery for him, with the tombstone facing south. If he cannot return to his hometown while alive, let him look at his hometown from afar after death..."
While talking, Xiaoduo was already in tears.
I have experienced this feeling of separation between life and death.
And, I never dare to forget it.
Suddenly, Xiaoduo faced me.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
She kowtowed three times in succession.
She knocked very hard.
When he looked up again, his forehead was already stained with blood.
"These three heads are Xiaoduo's way of thanking Master Chuliu on behalf of Grandpa Niu! Master Chuliu, Xiaoduo bets on me that he will die!"
