A Card Shark’s World - C42
That night, Four Fingers told me a lot. Including more details about their experiences in the Ping family.
It had to be said that the Ping family was powerful indeed. As expected of a clan that could compete with the Gambling King.
The appearance changing technique was something that had already been lost and was passed on by the Ping family. As for his four fingers, they were still intact. It was all just a disguise.
And then there was the scene with the dog brother, the drunkard who changed my hand, also after four fingers changed his appearance. Four fingers said that his disguise technique could change the appearances of more than ten people … I believe it too.
To that Chinese gambling king, Chen Chun Hui, I also hate the itch between my teeth. He was too much of a bastard. In the early days, it was the Ping family who took him in, fed him, and dressed him. Who would have thought that he would actually harm the Ping family?
If it were not for the fact that the four of them secretly escaped from Chen Cang, perhaps the Ping family would have been wiped out.
To tell the truth, slowly, I began to feel a twinge of heartache. The Ping family was way too good. His brother had also taken in tigers and leopards, and in the end had been turned against the heavens. And his father, who took in that son of a bitch named Chen, ended up with a broken family.
It seemed that brotherly love was the real thing. He had to be a loyal person.
As for Four Fingers’ real name, he never told me. How should he put it? He said that the current him no longer had the face to take another name. Unless one day, those with the surname Chen were killed. Only then could he bravely stand up in front of his ancestors.
After hearing this, I didn’t feel good about it. However, from then on, I also made up my mind to help Four Fingers properly. Sometimes, it was just like this. When some people looked at it, they felt that they would be tied together for the rest of their lives. A relationship was something one couldn’t see or feel, but one could feel it through the interactions between the two parties.
Unknowingly, the sun was about to rise. Four fingers told me to rest early, after all, it should be the county town. When I get back to the county town, there are still a lot of problems that I have to solve.
Of course, I also told Four Fingers about my collaboration with Brother Tengu. Four Fingers was also surprised. However, Four Fingers said that as long as Tiger and Baozi could be defeated, the rest didn’t matter.
In this hotel bed, two people shouldn’t be a problem. However, Four Fingers insisted on sleeping on the sofa. He said he was used to it. I know, Four Fingers said. It’s all true. Not with me. Because of this, my heart felt even more uncomfortable. How did the Four Fingers get through all these years? Only he knows.
The night passed in silence. The next morning. Four and I were awakened by a knock on the door.
The fewer people knew about his whereabouts, the better. Therefore, he hid his four fingers. I went to open the door. After opening the door, he saw two beauties standing in front of him. My face was full of sleepiness. Looking at the two beauties, my eyes lit up as well.
Before I could say anything, the twins pulled me along and said that Brother Tengu wanted me to go to dinner and see me off. Helpless, he could only follow the two beauties and walk forward …
Tiantang brother’s reputation, was that he had his cards up his sleeves. At least it was a lot better than Hu-ge’s. In this building, everything was available. The place where they were going to eat was also extremely luxurious.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Tengu waiting for me at the door. I walked up to him, and he went in to eat with me.
Sitting at the dining table, Tengu giggled and asked, “Sixie, how are my two little girls? Brother Gou, that’s kind of you, isn’t it? ”
As soon as he said this, the twins turned red. I was also a bit embarrassed. He could only submissively say, “Thank you, Brother Gou.”
And after saying that, Brother Gou said, “You can’t disappoint these two sisters. They were all good kids … When the time is ripe, let them follow you. ”
Hearing Brother Gou’s words, the chopsticks in my hand almost fell to the ground. This time, it really was the case. Even after jumping into the Yellow River, it was still impossible to wash away. Actually, we didn’t do anything.
At the table, Ye Zichen chatted a lot with the dog guy. Of course, it was all about cooperation. Actually, the matter of cooperation is very simple, as long as I can defeat Hu-ge.
And to be honest, I would do the same if my brother wouldn’t let me do it. After all, the enemy of the four fingers was also Brother Hu.
After dinner the twins took me back. When I go back to pack, it’s time to go back. As for Brother Hu’s lackey who came with me, he still hasn’t woken up.
I know, it’s probably because of some means that Brother Dog used to make those two unlucky fellows suffer. When he woke up, it was all up to him. This way, too, they won’t have to spy on me.
Unknowingly, he had returned to the entrance of my hotel. At the door, I turned to look at the beautiful couple.
I said to them, “I hope we’ll meet again.” When I finished, the two of them nodded.
I thought I’d just opened the door and gone back inside. Who would have thought that at this moment, this pair of sisters would come running towards me without saying a word. After that, one of them gave me a kiss. For a split-second, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning. This feeling was not one that an ordinary person could experience.
He didn’t even have time to react. The two sisters ran away, blushing. Looking at the two girls who gradually disappeared from my sight, I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart. The feeling of being young is really good. It was good to be free from the role of a tug of war.
After that, I planned to open the door and go inside. However, the door still didn’t open, because I heard a sentence.
“Ma Liu, you bastard!”
The voice was quite familiar. I looked at the source of the voice. It was indeed Li Rong. She stood all over the corner of the hotel. Then, he looked at me and scolded me somewhat angrily.
Of course, this was not the end. Subsequently, Li Rong walked over step by step. When he got to my side, he sent a slap towards me.
She got slapped by Li Rong for some reason. I’m still a little confused… Li Rong ran away while crying.
By the time I tried to catch up, it was too late.
I was still more or less unresigned towards Li Rong. Did Li Rong still love me? Otherwise, how could she behave like this? He put his hand into his hair and scratched it. Frustrated, I plopped down on the floor. It was too messy. This kind of relationship between a man and a woman, made me feel a little breathless.
Just when he didn’t know what to do. Four fingers suddenly walked out from the door. He seemed to have seen it all. It was as if he was watching from inside the peephole when Li Rong hit me earlier. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and handed it to me.
Four fingers said: “The love of a child, worry about the stomach.”
“Those who mess around, they have to be returned eventually.” There was no helping it, it would only become more cruel in the future. We are old people, we can’t give others happiness. Since that was the case, he might as well let go … Liu Zi, I’m an experienced man. Let me tell you, people like us are not worthy of love. Otherwise, the ones who would be injured in the end would be all of us.
As the Four Fingers spoke, his words seemed to be filled with endless vicissitudes of life. It was as if he had experienced it before.
After listening to the four fingers, I asked myself, can Qian really not love a person?
If that’s really the case, then, I must become the king of all stars. Only by being a man can one have the right to everything. I want to become stronger, this goal has become even more firm.
Back at the house, I packed my things. Things had just been tidied up over here. The door was knocked again.
I made my four fingers hide again. Then a man went to open the door. The moment the door opened, the people outside immediately kneeled on the ground.
I looked, isn’t that the little brother that Hu-ge sent to follow me? I didn’t understand what they were doing, so I asked them what was wrong. In the end, they were quite interesting.
I directly told them that they were here to watch over me. See if I do anything. Who would have thought that he would drink too much … So, tell me not to tell Hu-ge about this when I get back. Hearing this, I thought to myself, I can’t say it even if you let me say it. Besides, you guys didn’t drink too much, did you?
However, this is good as well. I sold them a favor and told them to stand up. They won’t speak carelessly when they return. Just say that things are going smoothly and that’s all. Hearing that, everyone nodded their heads. Just like that, we opened up a path back to the city.
