Chapter 45 Heartless
"Looking at your posture, everything is stable, it seems that you have a chance of winning?"
Master Zhou took a sip of tea, held half a tea stalk in his mouth, and spoke for the first time.
Xu Yi said, "I don't have any chances of winning. I just have a big heart. It's clear that there is no way to avoid it. Why don't I face it calmly?"
"Then you kid will throw thousands of gold all by yourself, and bet that you will win!"
"Master, think about it. If I lose, I will die. It's useless to keep the money. If I win by luck, how can I miss this good opportunity to make money?"
"Haha... Good boy, despite the strong wind, sit on the whale fishing platform, how brave! It's a big white."
After laughing, Mrs. Zhou picked up the tea, drank it, and said, "Now it seems that my old man's worries are unnecessary. You boy is not only intelligent, but also courageous. You can sit calmly. You must have a plan. Why don't you say it. The old man will help you."
Chengbi's tea was poured into the porcelain cup again, and the smoke wafted out. Xu Yi put down the teapot and said with a smile, "I don't have any plans. It's just four words. Use the long to strike the short."
"I can get these four words, I feel at ease." Mr. Zhou nodded, and said, "Some people have spent half their lives beating their heads and fighting, but you still haven't learned the secret of fighting, but you just said it out. Forget it, the old man was a little worried that the wine for the rest of his life would be gone, and now he can put his mind back." After finishing speaking, he stood up, shook his head three times, hummed an inexplicable joke, and went out leisurely.
Not long after Mr. Zhou left, Yuan Qinghua rushed in, with one hand resting on the waist pouch, and the other holding a stack of paper one foot thick, sweating profusely as he ran.
When he got in, he put the stack of papers on the stone table, picked up the teapot and took a deep breath, then opened his waist pocket, took out two black receipts, glanced at them with the light, and took one of them in front of Xu Yi, "Proprietor, I bought it. It's 1,200 gold. Yishen catches the winner, buy two and get one back."
"Why are there two black tickets?" Xu Yi remembered that Yuan Qinghua's original ticket was bright red.
Yuan Qinghua curled her lips and said, "There is no reason for the proprietor's words. Man Guang'an inquired, but I, Yuan, are the ones who don't talk about loyalty? Now that the proprietor's life has been risked, I, Yuan, are still reluctant to part with the thirty gold? I changed my original betting ticket, got the money, and bet with the proprietor, which can be regarded as encouraging the proprietor."
He spoke generously, but his secret calculations were loud. The reason why he changed the direction of the wind and bought Xu Yi to win was not out of loyalty, but after careful consideration, he decided to make a bold move.
Although she has not been in contact with her owner for a long time, Yuan Qinghua has a deep understanding of him.
That is definitely a guy who counts every penny, is meticulous, and can't bear the slightest loss.
Seeing that the battle of life and death is imminent, this person sits firmly on the fishing platform and dares to spend thousands of dollars to buy himself to win. If there is no 90% chance of winning, who would do this?
In a word, the reason why Yuan Qinghua changed the direction of the wind was not because he knew how profound Xu Yi's martial arts cultivation was, but because he suppressed Xu Yi's unparalleled mind.
Facing Yuan Qinghua's little abacus, Xu Yi had a clear understanding of it, secretly praised him for his extraordinary insight, and shook his thumb.
Yuan Qinghua ignored Xu Yi, grabbed the stack of papers, and piled them up in front of Xu Yi, "Proprietor, now is not the time to pretend to be a celebrity. If you get into the ring, it's life and death. It's no luck that Gao Pan survived eight rounds of the life-and-death ring. These are the past qualifications I found about Gao Pan from the news ghosts, including the details of Gao Pan's eight rounds of life-and-death rings."
Yu Gong, Xu Yi is the proprietor, Yuan Qinghua naturally didn't want him to lose and lose his life.
Personally, he couldn't let the long-term meal ticket he just bought be gone so easily. What's more, he bet heavily on Xu Yi. Although he believed that with the deceitfulness of his boss, he would never make fun of his wealth and life, but he, Mr. Yuan, was within his power, and could increase his chances of winning for his boss, and increase the chances of winning for his bet, so he, Mr. Yuan, was naturally very willing to do it.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll take a look slowly. Go and rest. The second wing on the left is yours."
With that said, Xu Yi took the materials and stood up.
At the moment, the two went back to their rooms.
After arriving at the room, Xu Yi casually threw the pile of materials into the trash can.
It's not his arrogance, but his self-confidence. He is confident that this terrifying body forged by two years of inhuman torture can cope with all the challenges of the body training period.
What's more, he still has that piece of dragon crocodile skin with amazing defense.
After closing the doors and windows, Xu Yi's eyesight was astonishing, and without turning on the lights, he took out the alligator skin, rubbed it carefully for a moment, and pulled it into various shapes over and over in his hands.
Originally, he was thinking of forging the dragon crocodile skin into leather armor as soon as possible, but he didn't know that the battle was imminent.
Fortunately, even though he is not yet an armor, it is enough to think of a way.
After flipping through it for a while, putting the leather back into the bag, Xu Yi threw his body on the bed, concentrating on it, and fell asleep in an instant.
This time he slept very deeply, and the sun was three poles high. He opened his eyes, stood up, did a chest stretching exercise, opened the window, and saw Mu Bo walking slowly along the flower pond with a cane.
Qiuwa was kicking a shuttlecock, a colorful shuttlecock with chicken feathers, tossed and turned on her short legs, lingering like a rainbow, without landing for a long time.
The sun was just right, the air was clear, and he took a deep breath, filled with the fragrance of flowers. Xu Yi liked this kind of tranquility more and more.
If he hadn't harbored blood and deep hatred, he wouldn't mind living a life like this, satisfying his appetite and enjoying the true love in the world.
"Boss, you're finally awake!"
Yuan Qinghua, who was squatting on the threshold to watch Qiuwa kick the shuttlecock, heard the movement in the room, shouted, and rushed in with a basin of water and washing utensils.
After Xu Yifang washed up, he put breakfast on the table again, meat buns, flower rolls, deep-fried dough sticks, pancakes and fruit, plus a big bucket of fresh milk. He kept persuading Xu Yi to eat more, lest Xu Yi eat less and go on stage at noon, and his legs would be weak.
He was so careless that Qiuwa, who was joining in the fun, couldn't help curling her lips.
Xu Yi was not polite, he devoured the tiger's food, and in an instant, he wiped out the whole table of meals, plus the whole ten catties of fresh milk.
After eating and wiping it clean, he threw a ten-gold gold ticket and told Yuan Qinghua, "There is nothing to do during the day, you can find a better house, and we all move there. After all, this is the land of the public, so it's not comfortable to live in. In addition, hire a few more maids and women. Although there are three meals a day, food is delivered from the store, and the work at home, we two old men can't handle it."
Although he has endured countless hardships, Xu Yi is a hedonist. Since he has money and conditions, he naturally wants to be comfortable by himself.
Yuan Qinghua was stunned for a while, and then came to his senses. He didn't know how to evaluate his proprietor. He said that big hearts are small, and he is completely heartless.
