Chapter 10 Gambling Seeing that Li Yun finally spoke up, Li Ying felt a little relieved in her panic. She ignored Li Yun's anger, but cried and reminded: "Dad, look where we are now?"
After listening to Li Ying's words, Li Yun let go of Li Ying's hand and looked around. He found that they were in front of a grave and he was kneeling in front of the tombstone. He was completely confused!
Damn it!How is this going?
Could it be that he drank too much and took the wrong path in confusion, so he ended up in front of the grave? When Li Yun thought that he had brought Li Ying to a grave, causing Li Ying to panic and fear, he felt a little guilty and self-blame, so he stopped arguing with him about Li Ying's beating.
"Bah baa..." The wild goat's cry sounded again.
Li Yun was already half awake from the wine. He picked up Li Ying and walked up the mountain. As he walked, Li Yun suddenly realized that something was wrong and stopped involuntarily.
After walking for so long, he should have reached the main road, but he is still on the mountain now, and he shouldn't be! Could it be that he encountered a ghost and got lost?
Li Yun's heart sank instantly. He looked down at Li Ying and saw that she was dozing off. He was worried about scaring Li Ying, so he didn't wake her up.
Li Yun stood in the dark night, blending in with the night, his whole body filled with loneliness and desolation.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu..." A low voice sounded continuously behind Li Yun.
Li Yun's body froze. The cry seemed to be the sound of a pearl-necked turtle dove, or maybe it wasn't?
Li Yun turned around to find his voice and saw a blurry black figure standing in front of a grave, his face turned pale!He immediately turned around and walked forward, not daring to stay for a moment longer, fearing that the dark night would stop him and prevent him from leaving.
Li Yun hugged Li Ying tightly and walked for about ten minutes, then he stopped and stared blankly at the long path ahead. It seemed to have no end. The end of the frightening road led to the eighteenth level of hell, which made him heartbroken. I was so scared that I didn't dare to take another step forward.
Li Yun didn't know how long he had been standing when he suddenly heard voices coming from the front. The voices were noisy, as if they were arguing about something.
Li Yunsi retreated for a moment and decided to continue moving forward. After walking for a while, he saw a bright light in front of him, and his face lit up with joy. If there was a light, there must be someone there.
Li Yun hugged Li Ying and strode forward. He saw a thatched hut not far away. He quickened his pace and came to the hut. He saw three people sitting at the door of the hut, gambling.
When the three people who were gambling saw Li Yun, their faces showed shock, which passed briefly and then returned to normal.
The three of them smiled at Li Yun, and a dark-faced man said: "Brother, we rarely have people here. How did you end up here? We are destined to meet each other. We are gambling, do you want to come and play?" "
Seeing that the three of them had no ill intentions, Li Yun walked to them, sat down on a wooden pier, raised the corners of his mouth, showed a stiff smile, and refused: "No, I will leave after taking a rest."
Another fair-faced young man looked at Li Yun and said: "Brother, our bet is small, just for fun and to pass the time. If you are interested, come and play a few games. It doesn't hurt."
"You guys just play and I take a look." Li Yun refused again.
"Da Lin, forget it if he doesn't play, we can play by ourselves." said a skinny old man.
The three of them started gambling again, shouting, "Head, tail."
Li Yun stood aside with Li Ying in his arms and watched the three people gambling, his tense body relaxing a little.
Li Ying was disturbed by the noise and opened her eyes sleepily. She rubbed her eyes and found that she and Li Yun had not gone home yet. She yawned and asked, "Dad, what are you doing here? Why don't you go home yet?" ?”
Of course, Li Yun would not tell Li Ying that he could not find his way home, so he gave a random reason and said: "Dad is tired and wants to rest before leaving. If you still want to sleep, just keep sleeping!"
Li Ying looked at the three people who were gambling and saw that their faces were pale and without any blood on their faces. She felt uncomfortable at all and made her want to stay away from them. "Dad, let's go home. I miss my mother."
The black-faced man, Li Ying, smiled toothily and said, "Little girl, it's night now, and the lights are dark. Go back now and be careful of encountering unclean things. It's safer for you to stay at my house until dawn."
The smile of the black-faced man made Li Ying panic. She buried her head in Li Yun's arms and did not look at the black-faced man.
Li Yun also wanted to go back, but was afraid of getting lost. He was undecided, not knowing whether to go or stay.
The black-faced man said to Li Yun: "Brother, in this life, you must have fun in time. Come sit down and play with us."
Li Yun looked at the darkness all around, and couldn't find any light. There seemed to be a family with a black face nearby. He was familiar with several nearby villages, but these people were very unfamiliar. He couldn't keep it. Disobey their wishes, lest you make these people angry and your family will be in trouble!
"Okay, then I will play a few games with you." Li Yun said.
Li Yun hugged Li Ying and sat next to several sweaters, took out more than one yuan and two cents, and said with a dry smile: "I don't have much money, and I don't like gambling very much. You must not think that I am shabby."
"It's okay, I'm just yelling for fun." The black-faced sweat said with a smile.
Li Ying felt the cold air coming from the people around her. The cold air rushed directly to her body, making her whole body feel cold. She tugged on Li Yun's clothes and said, "Dad, let me down. I'll sit next to you." On."
Li Yun put Li Ying down and bet money with three people.
Li Ying sat on the wooden pier by herself, looking around boredly.
Li Yungang was very reserved at first, but then he relaxed and stared at the coins, watching them spinning, and then a coin was covered by a large bowl.
"I bet on double." Li Yun said and put a dime on the edge of the bowl.
The three of them, the black-faced man, laughed, and the skinny old man laughed and said, "I'll bet on the bill."
The black-faced man and the young man also echoed: "We also make bets."
The black-faced man opened the bowl and saw that the coin was tails. The black-faced man laughed loudly, "Brother, it's odd, we win!"
"Come again!" Li Yun said loudly and unconvinced.
"Okay, let's continue." The black-faced man said.
Li Ying watched Li Yun gambling with the three strangers, shouting loudly. Suddenly, she found that the three people had no shadows. She waved her hands casually a few times, and the shadows also danced with her hands. She tilted her head and looked at Li Yun, I saw that Li Yun also had a shadow.
I feel very strange in my heart, why are the three of them different from them?
Li Ying was puzzled.
Li Ying withdrew her gaze and thought about it if she didn't understand. She would just ask her grandma when she got home.
Li Ying sat on the wooden pier, leaning against the wall, looking at the stars in the sky, listening to the shouts of Li Yun and the others, slowly closing her eyes and falling asleep! (End of this chapter)
