Chapter 12 The old friend...
Chapter 12 The old friend...
Who is the old man on the bed?Some time ago, he was still the headline of the newspaper.But it was his obituary that was reported at the time.This person is Lin Haosen, who is well-known in both Hong Kong and Hao, and who is known as the king of gambling for a generation.Although 60 years have passed, the handsome and unrestrained man has become an old man, but his appearance still remains.And the previous newspaper also published his photos in recent years.So Xiao Liu recognized him at a glance.
Can't blame Xiao Liu for being so shocked.Leaving aside the fact that Lin Yixin's old man is actually Lin Haosen, even if the newspaper reported that the deceased Lin Haosen appeared in front of his eyes, it was terrifying enough.
Hearing this call, the other party instinctively replied: "Xiao Liu?" Then he shook his head again, he was really confused.Xiao Liu had died 70 years ago, and he collected his body at that time.
He squinted his old eyes and looked around for a while: "Who are you from Xiao Liu?"
Xiao Liu didn't speak, although he looked calm, but his slightly trembling fingers betrayed him, revealing his inner excitement.
Seeing that the other party did not answer, the old man guessed by himself: "Are you his descendant?"
The younger son came back that day, got a dice, and played there day and night.When he asked curiously, his son beamed and talked about the master he worshiped, and how magical the dice were.Immediately, he said in frustration that after studying for a long time, he couldn't figure out how to use it at all.After listening to his son's description, he already faintly felt that the dice seemed familiar.When he got it in his hand, he only fiddled with it for a while, and he was able to confirm that it was a small toy developed by a friend when he was young.Back then, the other party had given one to himself.He still remembered that he asked for a long time, but the other party refused to tell him what mechanism was hidden in the dice.Until later, the other party died, and the secret of the dice was buried with him.
Who is the son, the so-called master?He must have something to do with Xiao Liu!Regardless of the fact that he was hiding, he hurriedly asked his son to bring his master to see him.
Xiao Liu shook his head.
Lin Haosen did not believe that the young man in front of him would have nothing to do with Xiaoliu.Only Xiaoliu can call himself Big Brother Wood.Could it be...a bold idea flashed in his mind.
"Are you Xiao Liu? Are you reincarnated!?"
Xiao Liu thought about it for a while, and finally decided not to hide it from him, after all, the other party was his savior.He shook his head: "It's not considered a reincarnation either. As soon as I woke up, I found that I was in this body."
The other party admitted so readily, but the old man was momentarily stunned.But after all, he has lived for more than 80 years. What anecdotes have not been heard?What wind and waves have not seen?Maybe when he was young, he would categorically refuse to believe in ghosts and gods.But now, he is also dying, and he would rather believe that there are really phenomena in this world beyond the common sense of nature.
"Are you really Little Six?"
"Huh? Daddy, do you know Master?" I didn't expect my old man to know Master.And the master also called him Brother Wood... Lin Yixin had goose bumps all over his body.The old man in his family is 85 years old this year.What about my brother!Grandpa Wood is almost the same!
With tears in his eyes, Lin Haosen looked at Xiaoliu in a daze, his son's call finally brought him back to his sanity, and he turned to him and said, "He is an old acquaintance of mine.
·
That year, Lin Haosen was only in his early 20s. To escape the war, he was penniless and fled to Haojiang alone.At first, he was not familiar with the place where he was born, and he was almost sold as a foreign worker by human traffickers.Fortunately, he was clever and escaped in time.Later, he went to Dafa Casino as a waiter.At that time, he and Xiao Liu met in the casino.
At that time, Xiao Liu was skinny, unattractive, and introverted, not a talkative person.But Lin Haosen was born with an amiable temperament, lively, cheerful, and exquisite.The boss, gamblers, and staff in the casino all dislike him.Over time, even Xiao Liu, an odd child who "stays away from strangers", was subdued by him.
Relying on his handsome appearance, extraordinary conversation skills and skillful skills, Lin Haosen soon became the waiter's junior supervisor.
Xiao Liu is Dafabet's croupier, and his task is to let the money of the visitors always come in and out.Under the behest of the casino, he naturally had to "use some means" to complete the task.He has studied under the lame old man for several years, no matter how the other party is also a generation of thousand kings, so Xiao Liu's thousand skills can be counted as one of the few people in Haojiang.It's a pity that there are people beyond people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. I often walk by the river. How can anyone not get their shoes wet?
On that day, a group of out-of-town gamblers came to the Dafa Casino, each of them had a tall head, a fierce face, and a hostility all over their bodies.At first glance, it looks like a mess.
Xiao Liu has been an old man for more than a thousand years, but he has never missed a shot.He didn't expect that the group of vicious gamblers in front of him had a lot of background, they were small gang leaders in San Francisco, America, and even the people in Haojiang would have to give them three points; what he didn't expect was that among this group of people There is one person who is also proficient in thousands of skills.When they found that their gambling money seemed to have disappeared, they started to attack.He even exposed his thousand tricks on the spot.
In fact, Xiao Liu is just a small croupier, without the boss of the casino behind his back, how could he dare to pay a thousand dollars?Of course these gangsters knew this too, but firstly they couldn't swallow this breath, and secondly they wanted to make trouble and blackmail the casino.Then he yelled for the boss to pay compensation, and disabled Xiao Liu's hands and feet.The casino owner didn't dare to offend these gangsters, so he hurriedly put all the responsibility on Xiao Liu.
Poor Xiao Liu became a scapegoat. Not only was he beaten up, but he was about to lose his hands and feet.
Fortunately, he also has a good friend who is well-rounded and good at dancing.The other party was very loyal, not only pledging a large sum of money, but also persuading the casino owner to settle the matter, and also compensated some; After the banquet, I gave the other party enough face.Xiao Liu's hands and feet were saved.
When Xiao Liu was released, there was not a single part of his body that was intact. Although he was extremely weak, he still stood firm.He didn't say thank you to Lin Haosen. How could such a great kindness be repaid with a single thank you?
"Brother Mumu, your business will be my business in the future. As long as you open your mouth, you will go through fire and water, and you will not hesitate!"
From then on, Xiao Liu not only regarded this eldest brother as a close friend, but also as a lifesaver.In his words, it is a lifelong friendship.
The friendship between the two has progressed thousands of miles. Because Lin Haosen lacks wood in the five elements, he was named Sanmu's Sen.Xiao Liu affectionately called him Brother Wood.
·
Time flies, and it has been nearly 70 years.The old friend who was thought to have been turned into a bone had turned into a dead body and returned to life!Although shocked, but also joyful.The young man who followed behind him and called Brother Wood has now turned into a handsome man.The appearance has changed, but the quiet temperament cannot be changed.
Xiao Liu was equally excited and happy.Brother Mu is not dead, he still has a chance to repay his kindness.
"Brother Mumu, how have you been all these years?" After asking, he felt that he had spoken nonsense.The opponent is a generation of gambling kings who have dominated Haojiang for 40 years.If you want to talk about who is the richest and most powerful in Haojiang, it must be Lin Haosen.How could he be having a bad time?
I didn't want the other party to listen to his question, but it would affect his mind and coughed loudly.
Lin Yixin was busy stroking his father's back, and Xiao Liu nervously stepped forward to check: "Brother Mumu, what's the matter with you? Otherwise, let's see a doctor."
Lin Haosen managed to stop his cough, and waved his hands: "It's useless. My body is no longer useful, and I'm already a person with one foot in a coffin."
Indeed, Lin Haosen's complexion was very bad. According to rumors, he looked like he was dying.
"Xiao Liu, Ah Xin calls you master. Did you accept him as an apprentice?" Although nearly 70 years have passed, Lin Haosen vaguely remembers that this is not his style.
Sure enough, Xiao Liu shook his head: "No."
Lin Yixin was unhappy, and murmured: "What's wrong with me? People say I'm a genius! I just saw the water cloud sleeve in a novel, so I can learn it. It's God that you accept me as an apprentice. What a blessing! Besides, I am the son of the gambling king, and you are the master of the gambling king's son, how face-saving it is to say it!"
Although Lin Haosen was not feeling well, he cheered up and stopped his son with a smile, "Okay, okay, don't worry, kid." Then he turned to Xiao Liu and said, "Xiao Liu, do you remember when I helped you out of trouble, What did you promise me?"
Xiao Liu didn't hesitate: "Brother Wood, your business is my business. As long as you open your mouth, you will go through fire and water, and you will do whatever you want!"
"Okay!" Lin Haosen nodded, in addition to wanting to test whether he is Xiaoliu again, he also wanted him to promise: "I thought I would never let you repay my kindness in this life, but now the tense situation, I have no other choice. Xiaoliu, I want you to accept Ah Xin as your apprentice."
Though Lin Haosen is known as the king of gambling, he has never gambled in his life. His early experience made him understand how good gambling is.Unexpectedly, before he died, he gambled once. This will be the biggest gamble in the history of Haojiang, and the bet is all the assets of the gambling king of Haojiang!
