"Li Ge, are you up?"

"Dad brought you food!"

Around the hour of Xu, when night fell, Hua's father Ye Maochun came to the west wing to visit Mu Lige for the eighth time.

"Master Hua, the doctor just felt a little tired, so he rested for a while. It's almost time for him to wake up now. How about I help you wake him up?"

"No, no, no, don't. Pregnant men are like this, sometimes they get sleepy. Let him sleep for a while. If he hasn't woken up after a while, wake him up for dinner."

Hua's father handed the tray of food to Zuo An and repeatedly reminded him several times to remember to remind Mu Lige to eat.

"I will, don't worry."

After Zuo An brought the food into the house, he locked the door.

"Bang!"

Zuo An made a face and slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the table in annoyance.

He really regretted it now. Why did he suddenly agree to Mu Lige's request to cover for him and let him leave the Hua family?

This Hua father has come seven or eight times since the afternoon. Every time he comes, he asks Mu Lige about his well-being, and talks about Lige all the time. He also greets himself with a word or two, and it goes on and on. Zuo An just feels his head buzzing.

As the number one assassin in Luoshamen, Zuo'an excelled at killing. Killing, killing! He wasn't lying. Making up excuses to deal with Hua's father time and time again was almost wearing out his patience.

When he was extremely angry, he took out the well-made sleeve arrow from his bosom, and the anger that was rising up was immediately extinguished by half.

That’s all!

Since Mu Lige had given him such a powerful Hidden Arrow, he decided to help him this time. He also felt that although the design of this Hidden Arrow was ingenious, he could improve it and make an even more powerful one.

However, before he started researching the new sleeve arrow, in order to avoid arousing suspicion from the Hua family, he had to eat the food sent by Hua's father first.

Tonight, Hua's father prepared a particularly sumptuous meal, with fish, meat, chicken, and duck. At dinner time, Zuo An accidentally ate too much. Now, seeing another identical meal, Zuo An was devastated.

Ahhhh…

Mu Lige, when will you come back?

He touched the hidden arrow in his hand, but in the end, the temptation of the hidden weapon outweighed the discomfort. Zuo An curled his lips, then endured the danger of his stomach exploding, burping and eating his food in big mouthfuls...

"Come on, come on, buy it and leave it alone, buy it and leave it alone!"

The dealer shouted loudly while shaking the dice.

“Big big…”

“Xiaoxiaoxiao…”

The gamblers gathered around the gambling table, their eyes red, staring intently at the dice cup on the table waiting to be opened, and excitedly shouting the size of their bets, as if whoever shouted louder would get what they wanted.

"One, three, five, little!"

"Haha! I knew it must be Kai Xiao!"

"Oh, I was planning to buy Xiaolai too. What a bad luck!"

"I just don't believe I won't win, try again!"

…

As the dealer removed the dice cup and announced the results, some people beamed with joy, others shook their heads and lamented, while still others, frustrated by their losses, clamored for a second chance.

Mu Lige, who had been mentioned by Zuo An in his mind hundreds or thousands of times, had changed into a gray coarse linen shirt, grown a beard, and wore a gray cloth scarf on his head. At this time, he was hiding among the many gamblers in the Sihai Casino in Yunshui Town.

"Let me compete with you!"

Hua Qingcheng, with her ponytail tied high and dressed in a red and black outfit, looks heroic. The black and white phoenix headband on her head adds a bit of solemnity to her, and the gold-plated hollow butterfly-shaped eye masks on her eyes make her look even more mysterious.

Hua Qingcheng smiled and walked to the gambling table with brisk steps. She shouted in a domineering tone, snatched the dice cup in front of the dealer, and shook it in a gangster-like manner.

"Do you want to compare points or guess the size?"

The dealer looked at Hua Qingcheng, who came with ill intentions, and asked, but her expression suddenly became more serious.

"Then guess the size first."

"Why, you don't dare to gamble?"

Hua Qingcheng looked at the dealer with a bad face with a forced smile and slapped the dice cup back in front of her.

"Of course not."

After the dealer finished speaking, he picked up the dice cup and began to shake the dice skillfully. After showing off for a while, he slammed the dice cup back on the table.

"Come on, come on, buy it and leave it alone, buy it and leave it alone!"

Following the dealer's call, the gamblers began to place their bets again.

"I'll buy...small!"

Seeing the woman in front of him wearing a butterfly eyepatch, holding a tael of silver, hesitating between the big and small, and finally placing the hand on the small side, the dealer's mouth curled up.

It seemed that she was worrying too much. Although the woman in front of her looked very tough, she was just a show-off and there was nothing to be afraid of.

“Big big…”

“Xiaoxiaoxiao…”

The gamblers who were gathered around the gambling table and had lost all their money began to shout out the size of their bets.

The dealer looked at the crazy gamblers, then glanced at the woman wearing a butterfly eyepatch opposite him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"Twenty-four..."

But what shocked her was that the dice that was supposed to have six on it turned out to be one.

"Two, four, one... small..."

Despite being shocked, the dealer suppressed his inner anxiety and quietly announced the size of the dice.

The gamblers at the table were suddenly filled with mixed emotions, some happy and some sad. The odds on the bet were one to one, and Hua Qingcheng won one or two taels of silver on the first bet.
