Chapter 86 There Is No Cure For Some Illnesses

Thousand Gold Platform.

It's actually a casino.

After Xu Han walked into the room, Qin Keqing looked at the crowd gathered in the room one after another and heard the "Buy big, buy small, buy sure, leave hand" shouts coming from her ears. Only then did she wake up.

She frowned. She had never touched these things since she was young and instinctively disliked such a place.

" Young Master Xu , what are we doing here?" She asked softly.

Without saying a word, Xu Han pulled her and squeezed into a nearby table. Behind him, Chu Chouli grinned and rubbed his palms as he walked up.

A gambling table, only seven feet square, surrounded by less than twenty people, is enough to see this life state.

There are people who win the spring breeze, chatting and laughing, very unhappy; There were also people who were so red-faced that they wanted to bet their son to be their wife and win over a salted fish.

At this time, the winner's face was full of smiles, while the loser gritted his teeth and thought about what else could be mortgaged at home.

"Come, come, come. Buy big and buy small. Buy big and buy small." The dealer began to shake the dice in his hand again, encouraging everyone to place their bets.

Xu Han fumbled in his arms and took out a money bag. It was a gift from the man in the inn just now. It was filled with nearly ten taels of silver.

This was not a small sum, enough for an ordinary family of three to live a rich life for a year.

Such a large amount of money naturally attracted the attention of the crowd.

"Come, give it a try." Xu Han smiled and took out some broken silver from his purse and handed it to Qin Keqing .

"This … I won't." Seeing this, Qin Keqing waved her hand repeatedly.

"It's very simple. Look at that person." Xu Han pointed at the dice cup in the dealer's hand. "There are three dice in the cup in his hand. The number of nine is small, the number of ten is large, and the number of three is leopard. The greater the pressure, the smaller the pressure, the more the wins."

"But" Qin Keqing's face flushed red. She didn't say much about one tael of silver, nor did she say much about it. Moreover, she looked at the man who had lost so much money and was clamoring to take his wife and children as gambling capital. She always felt that this matter was inappropriate, but when she met Xu Han's encouraging gaze, Qin Keqing didn't know why she couldn't refuse at all.

"It's fine, just treat it as a play." Xu Han continued to encourage.

Hearing this, Qin Keqing gritted her teeth and casually placed the pieces of silver on the gambling table.

When the dealer saw the big fish enter the urn, the swaying dice cup stopped and shouted, "Buy it and leave your hands!"

Everyone's gazes immediately fell on the dice cup.

Even Qin Keqing subconsciously looked at the dice cup, feeling somewhat nervous. Only Xu Han and Chu Chouli's expressions remained the same, and they could be said to be calm and relaxed.

Three three two!

The dealer opened the table, and the three dice totaled eight.

Immediately, a series of cries of sorrow and cheers intersected in the crowd.

Qin Keqing , on the other hand, looked at the extra silver in her hand with a surprised expression. Obviously, even she had not expected such a result.

"Again." At that moment, Xu Han's voice suddenly sounded again.

"But" Qin Keqing was stunned when she heard this. In her opinion, gambling was not a good thing. She was already very satisfied with winning one tael of silver. She wanted to stop and leave. Hearing that Xu Han was going to come back again, she hesitated.

"It's fine. It's good that you have fun." Xu Han said softly, his tone indescribably gentle.

Qin Keqing 's heart sweetened, and her face also turned crimson. She nodded obediently, looking like a lovable daughter-in-law. After thinking for a while, she casually placed two taels of silver on the small gambling table.

At this time, the man who was clamoring to sell his wife and children had already signed a contract with the casino manager and returned to the gambling table with a full thirty taels of silver in satisfaction. According to the rules of the casino, before noon today, he would be able to repay 35 taels of silver with interest, and he would be able to take away the deed to sell his wife and children. If he could not, his wife and children would no longer be his wife and children.

At this moment, the man was already possessed. His eyes were red as he stood at the gambling table, holding the gambling money he had obtained from his wife and children. Everyone in the surroundings was not surprised by this situation and did not look at the man.

The man thought about it, and for some reason, he glanced at Xu Han and Qin Keqing and took out five taels of silver from the purse and placed it on the same gambling table as Qin Keqing.

"Buy it and leave." The dealer shouted loudly again. Then, the Gu cup stopped and opened the dish.

One, two, six! A total of nine, or a small win!

Qin Keqing 's gambling money changed from two taels to four taels, and the man who sold his wife and betted his son also earned 35 taels of silver.

"Hurry up and get your wife and children back." Qin Keqing looked at the man and reminded him kindly.

"No! No! I have to win another five taels, or my family won't be able to survive this winter." The man murmured with scarlet eyes as if he was stunned.

Seeing this, Qin Keqing couldn't bear it anymore. She turned to look at Xu Han as if she wanted him to come up with an idea.

However, Xu Han smiled and said, "But Qing, you're lucky. Why don't you take him to win again?"

Hearing this, Qin Keqing felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, she bet the four taels of silver on the small one again. Seeing that, the man seemed to be certain that he had met Fu Xing today, but he quickly took out another five taels of silver and bet it on a gambling table similar to Qin Keqing's.

At this moment, the person in charge of rolling the dice saw a cold smile flash across the corner of his mouth. He shouted, "Bai Dingli," then raised the dice cup high up and shook it before descending.

"Open! Open! Open!" The man who sold his wife and son shouted loudly as he stared at the dice cup.

Xu Han glanced sideways at Chu Chouli beside him. The burly man smiled knowingly and stretched out his hand to shake the table slightly.

At this moment, the dice cup opened and everyone looked over.

Two, three, four! A total of nine! It was still small!

The dealer's expression immediately turned extremely ugly. He looked at the three dice in front of him in disbelief and remained silent for a long time.

Qin Keqing 's face immediately revealed a sincere smile, but it was not for her to win a few taels of silver. She turned her head to look at the man beside her and said, "Hurry up and leave. You've already earned enough money."

But who would have thought that the man would shake his head, his face flushed with a morbid flush, "No, I can still win more! That way, my child, my wife won't have to worry every day, and there won't be a next meal after the last meal!"

"But you're like this" Qin Keqing frowned. She felt that the man's idea was wrong, but before she could correct the man, Xu Han interrupted him.

"Keqing, since he is doing this for his own family, let him try again." Xu Han said in a deep voice. His voice was calm, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry. In the end, it seemed that he was trying to convince Qin Keqing better. He said, "Isn't there still me?"

Although Qin Keqing was still a little uneasy in her heart, she was not stupid. She was not good at this. Being able to win money in succession naturally had something to do with Xu Han. Since Xu Han had spoken, she did not say anything else. She only took a deep look at the man and placed the eight taels of silver in her hand on the small one again. Seeing this, the man gritted his teeth and directly took out fifteen taels of silver and bet it on the little one.

Seeing that, the banker's expression became even gloomier. He summoned the attendant who was scouting beside him to whisper a few words into his mouth. Then, the attendant turned around and hurriedly left. However, he raised the dice cup in his hand again, shook it for a while, and then landed.

Qin Keqing and the others watched nervously as the dice cup was slowly lifted. The man's eyes were filled with blood. Even his temples were bursting with thick veins. He was already extremely nervous.

Six, three, two, a total of eleven, a large number!

This result caused Qin Keqing 's face to darken. The man even beat his chest and almost fainted. He had exchanged a total of 30 silver taels. Following Qin Keqing 's win of 10 silver taels, he had pushed out another 15 silver taels this time. Now, he only had 25 silver taels on him. If he wanted to redeem his wife and children, there was still a full 10 silver taels left.

Once the dice cup was opened, he could be said to have fallen to the bottom of the valley once again.

At that time, Qin Keqing turned to look at Xu Han, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Losing and winning are common in gambling." Xu Han said.

At this time, another gambling game opened. The man carefully bet a few taels of silver, but he lost again. Qin Keqing turned the man's expression even uglier, and his purse became even more shriveled. He looked at Xu Han as if he was crying for help, but Xu Han stood there as if he hadn't seen him.

The man continued to gamble several times. The remaining twenty-five taels of silver were all lost. His eyes instantly darkened and he fell straight to the ground. He immediately asked a few servants to drag him forward and throw him out of the casino like a dead dog.

Qin Keqing was anxious when she saw this. She could not imagine how this man would spend his life in the future, and what would happen to his wife and children after they were captured by this gambling house. She wanted to save him, but she was pulled back by Xu Han.

"You can't save him." Xu Han, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"Why?" Qin Keqing was very puzzled. She stared at Xu Han with her eyes wide open. She secretly felt that this man in front of her was a stranger, as if she had met Xu Han for the first time today.

To be honest, Qin Keqing 's appearance was not that beautiful. Compared to Ye Hongjian 's Fish Fang Zi Yu's appearance, not to mention the difference between clouds and mud, it was not even a tiny bit inferior. However, Xu Han felt somewhat irritated under her gaze.

"Even wives and children can be betted as gamblers. There is no other way to save them." Xu Han suppressed the irritation in his heart and said as calmly as possible.

"But he wants his wife and children to survive this winter and live a good life!" Qin Keqing 's voice became loud.

"No, he did it for himself. His selfish desires blinded his mind, but he did it in the name of others. In the end, it was to satisfy his own desires."

"If you can save him once, he can bet a second time, a third time… You'll never be able to save him."

"His illness is here." Xu Han pointed at his chest, and his voice suddenly became extremely gloomy. "Nothing can save a heart."

Perhaps Xu Han's voice was too cold, or perhaps the reasoning behind Xu Han's words made Qin Keqing unable to refute it. This girl was stunned for a moment.

Seeing this, Xu Han handed her over to Chu Chouli.

At that moment, his body took a step forward and took out the money bag in his pocket again. He placed it on the leopard that was between the size of the leopard without looking at it for a full nine taels of silver.

At that time, he looked at the dealer, his eyes filled with malice.

"Come on, Young Master, I want to try my luck too."
