Strongest Worker - Chapter 1553
“Because…” Li Qing paused a little and looked gently at Lin Mengdie’s glittering side face. “She used to be like a rootless duckweed, but now it’s different. Now she has roots. Anything rooted can’t just go.”
Xinya still doesn’t understand, but Li Qing has opened the door: “let’s go.”
“Oh.”
The two men walked out of the small hotel and got into the jeep parked at the door.
Li Qing raised her hand, rubbed her forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xinya tilted her small head and looked at him: “you seem very tired…”
“Er…” Li Qing gently tugged at the corners of her mouth.
Isn’t this nonsense? As the saying goes, “there are only tired cows, but no ploughed fields”. Now even Lin Mengdie is too tired to wake up. How can he not be tired?
“Cough.” Li Qingqing cleared his throat and directly started the car, trying to hide his embarrassment.
Xinya did not continue to struggle on this topic, but asked excitedly, “where are we going?”
“Of course, I want to make money, or I can’t even pay the room fee tonight.” Li Qing said carelessly, relieved.
“Are we going to work?” Xinya thought for a while with her pink cheeks. “I can weave things and embroider. Is this useful?”
Li Qing couldn’t help laughing and said, “it’s useless.”
“Ah?” Xinya lowered her head in frustration. “Sorry, I’m useless…”
Li Qing couldn’t help laughing. He shook his head and said, “of course it’s useless if we don’t go to work. That way, it’s too slow to get money. We have to rent a boat to go to sea. We just rely on working and hard work. We can’t save enough money for a year.”
“Then how do you make money?” Xinya seemed to think of something. Her little face turned extremely pale and tears swirled around her eyes. “Do you think I’m useless… Want to sell me?”
Li Qing turned her eyes: “I said, even if I lost my life, I wouldn’t lose you. Well, wipe your tears and cry again. What are you thinking about all day, little girl?”
“I’m scared to death. I’m most afraid you don’t want me…”
“Don’t think about it. How can I be willing to sell you?” Li Qing drove across the street and said slowly. “I heard Du Huasheng mention that there is a very good casino in pengyou, so I want to try my luck.”
“Ah?” Xinya panicked again and held his clothes tightly. “Don’t go. My father only sold my sister because he gambled all day…”
Li Qing was slightly stunned: “your sister?”
“HMM.” Xinya heavily ordered her little head. Bei’s teeth bit her lips, and tears fell down again.
“Can you still find her?”
Xinya shook her head.
Li Qing stopped at the street, raised her hand and wiped away the crystal tears on her white cheeks. She whispered, “don’t worry, I won’t do the same thing.”
“It’s impossible to make money in that way. Ten bets and nine losses. Don’t be cheated…”
“That’s someone else, not me.” Li Qing pinched her soft little hand and smiled, “don’t you believe me after being together for so long?”
Xinya blinked her big eyes, still a little skeptical.
“Don’t believe it?”
The little girl sniffed, “I’m just a little worried…”
“Look.” Li Qing reached into his pocket, took out the platinum wedding ring and shook it in front of the girl. “I only use this thing for gambling. If we lose all, we’ll leave. Is that ok? Please, have a little confidence in me? Come on, smile and show me. It’s a pity that our new elegance is so beautiful and our faces don’t have a smile.”
The little girl was so amused by him that she burst out laughing, and then pretended to be serious and made a small face: “you can’t go back.”
“Well, never go back.”
“We pull the hook.”
“Good, good, pull the hook.” Li Qing smiled, stretched out her hand and hooked it with her white little finger, “don’t worry this time?”
After a pause, he added, “we have a little trouble now. Next, we need to ask Xinya for help.”
“What’s up?”
“We don’t know the way.” Li Qing spread his hands, “and I can’t speak Malay. I can only ask you to get off and ask the way for me.”
“This is simple.” Xinya said sweetly, pushed open the door, got out of the car and walked into a small shop on the side of the road.
After a while, she jumped out of the shop, jumped into the car again, raised her little hand and pointed forward: “go straight along this street, and then turn to the coast for another section. The casino is by the sea. It is said that the boss is also from Hong Kong.”
“Also from Hong Kong?” Li Qing started the car again and frowned gently. “It should be a good sign to meet an old friend in a foreign land.”
Xinya blinked her big eyes: “didn’t Xiao Du say that you are very famous in Lingang. Is this your friend? It shouldn’t be difficult to borrow some money from him?”
Li Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: “do you think the meaning of being famous is how friends are?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Of course not. There is another meaning. There are many enemies.” Li Qingdao said, “I don’t expect to meet friends here. I’m thankful as long as I don’t meet enemies.”
The jeep drove through the street and soon saw the blue sea, on which several willow fishing boats were floating.
“If we want to go back, we can only take an ocean going cargo ship at the wharf, or find a ship to go to sea secretly.” Li Qing said while driving. “However, the situation is a little troublesome. Because of the Kuzhi bandits, the sea search will be strengthened.”
Xinya didn’t quite understand: “what does this mean?”
“In other words, if we want to leave pengyou, we can only make a boat and sneak away by ourselves.” Li Qing whispered, “if the three of us encounter a search by the local army, even if we are not a bandit, we will be identified as a bandit.”
“But we can’t afford a boat.”
“Yes, and the tonnage of the ship must be enough, and the small fishing boat certainly can’t.” Li Qing nodded. “That’s why we’re going to the casino, otherwise where does the money come from?”
Tall buildings by the sea appeared in the field of vision. Li Qing narrowed her eyes slightly: “it looks quite regular. If you bet less, there should be no trouble.”
He stopped the jeep, got off and looked up. There were seagulls circling in the air.
Li Qing took Xinya into the casino and exchanged the platinum ring for a chip at the front desk.
“Alas.” he sighed gently and shouted to the little girl around him, “when Xiao Du wanted to take my wedding ring out for money, I almost didn’t work hard with him. As a result, I took the initiative to do such a thing after only a few days. Do you find that? The speed of human degradation is always so fast…”
Xinya turned her eyes when she listened to his nagging complaints.
The casino is very big, and the beautiful officials wear short and transparent skirts. However, those gamblers did not want to wipe off the money. Instead, they widened their eyes and focused all their attention on the card table.
Li Qing is not familiar with the rules on the card table, so he chose the simplest way to play, draw cards and bet on the size. The person with the largest brand can take away all his money.
He lost the first game.
Xinya’s little face was bitter for a moment, and she pulled Li Qing’s sleeve anxiously: “let’s not play.”
Li Qing gently covered her hand with a reassuring look: “now stop, my wedding ring can’t be redeemed.”
He pressed up his few chips and began to bet on the second game.
Li Qing turned defeat into victory in this game, with two or three times more chips than before.
Xinya began to advise in a low voice: “all right, let’s stop when we see the good…”
“Hiss.” Li Qing looked at the girl’s red face with some surprise and murmured in her heart. The girl can restrain her greed. Her mind is not simple.
He didn’t know that Xinya didn’t love money, but gambling hurt the little girl too much.
Tension and fear go hand in hand as soon as Xinya enters the casino. The girl saw her father’s shadow from the gamblers with bright eyes.
Of course, Li Qing will not stop at this point. From now on, he has won more and more times. Although occasionally pretending to lose a game or two, it seemed painless and did not affect the chips at hand.
Casinos are places that can infinitely amplify human desires. Xinya Meimu also gradually glowed, raised his hand to fan the smoke filled air, pursed his small mouth and said, “you’re lucky today.”
Li Qing grinned. Is this a matter of good luck? Although he had always been lucky, he never believed in such illusory things.
He cheated, but his technique was so fast that no one could detect it.
Until noon, Li Qing felt his stomach growling. He hasn’t eaten much these two days. He spent another morning in the casino. Now he feels very hungry. At this time, the chips he won can be loaded in a basket.
A man in a suit came over and leaned slightly: “Sir, you’re a big lottery today. You play too little here. If you don’t feel happy, you can try other tricks in it.”
“No, I’m having a good time today. I’m leaving now.”
“Sir, it’s a pity if you choose to leave. There are many ways to play in our casino. As long as you try, you will feel it’s worth your trip.”
“Someone told me to learn to accept when I see good.” Li Qing turned her head and squeezed her eyes at Xinya.
The little girl was happy, and the corners of her lips flashed a beautiful radian.
Li Qing didn’t talk nonsense with the man in the suit anymore. He got up directly and asked the service staff of the casino to help him pick up chips and leave with Xinya.
“I’m afraid you can’t hold your heart…” the little girl walked beside him and said low.
“Hehe, with this little money? I’m not as good as…”
