In the outskirts of the ancient town, several of our cars were slowly moving forward in the night.

This is my second time here, and the last time I came with Zhang Fan seems to be still vivid in my mind.

And now, I am more thinking about the things that Sui Jiangwan once told me.

She said that plum blossom girl Huo Yutong was the root cause of my father's death.

Not to mention the truth or false what she said, but one thing is certain.

Huo Yutong and my father must have a close relationship.

Anyway, I decided to test this Thousand-Handed Jade Fox today.

After a while of bumpy road, the car slowly stopped in front of a quaint courtyard.

When I opened the door and got out of the car, I saw the security guard at the door immediately stepped forward and greeted Mr. Huo.

Uncle Huo didn't respond. He walked to the door, took out the key, and opened the door.

It was almost the same as when I came last time, and the small courtyard was cleaned.

The green bamboos on both sides are still green, but the plum blossoms planted in the past have already withered.

There are two pairs of red lanterns hanging on both sides of the door.

Above the lantern is the word "Plum" written in small seal script.

When I walked to the door, I saw a whole thick wooden board on the left side facing the pavilion.

And the wooden board was filled with playing cards. It looked like it was formed by flying cards.

Unexpectedly, the plum blossom girl seemed weak, and her skills in flying cards were no less than those of Old Wu.

Standing at the door, Mr. Huo knocked on the door a few times.

But unfortunately, there was no response inside the door.

Mr. Huo asked inside carefully again:

"Yutong, have you rested?"

Then a gentle and lazy voice came from the room:

"No, just say that if you have something to do. I don't want to open the door..."

I could feel that Mr. Huo was a little embarrassed at this time.

He cleared his throat and said again:

"I told you a few days ago that I made an appointment with someone else to bet. Today, I need you to help me gamble..."

"I don't gamble, and you don't like me to gamble. Please find someone else to help you..."

Huo Yutong's answer surprised us.

Even Liu Baiyu frowned slightly, and he didn't expect that Huo Yutong would reject Mr. Huo.

Mr. Huo looked up slightly and sighed:

"This game is a life-and-death situation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yutong in the room questioned:

"The life and death situation? You are not a member of the thousand gates and don't gamble on weekdays. Why do you have to decide the life and death situation with others!"

One sentence made Mr. Huo's expression a little painful, and he said casually:

"I saw Wanru and Liu Baiyu. This game is against Liu Baiyu!"

The room suddenly became quiet, and there was no sound.

After a while, a light was pouring from the window.

Soon, the door was gently pushed open. Huo Yutong appeared at the door.

Under the red lantern light, Huo Yutong's fair face was a bit hazy rosy.

Coupled with her classical and graceful temperament, she gave people a sense of being a human in the painting at this moment.

No wonder her nickname is Thousand-Handed Jade Fox. I think the beauty of foxes in film and television dramas is just that.

Even Xiaoduo beside me was staring at Huo Yutong blankly.

After a while, she said to me softly:

"She is so beautiful..."

I didn't say anything, but He Xiaoshi clearly agreed with Xiaoduo's statement, and she nodded as well.

Huo Yutong's eyes were frozen on Liu Baiyu.

The two of them looked at each other, Liu Baiyu bowed and said politely:

"It's been more than twenty years since Bashu's separation. Miss Huo, are you?"

I could feel that Liu Baiyu was a little excited at this time.

Huo Yutong was generous and bowed gently, sighed:

"Yes, for twenty years, Brother Bai Yu is still as handsome as ever..."

Liu Baiyu shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said again:

"Where did I have the style? Time never defeats the beauty. Miss Huo really has a long face..."

What Liu Baiyu said is not an exaggeration, but it is not the truth.

You know, there are already many gray hairs clearly seen on Huo Yutong's hair.

The two of them made a few polite words, and Huo Yutong's eyes looked at us casually.

The moment she saw me, I could clearly feel the accident and surprise in her eyes.

"The sixth day of the lunar calendar? Why did you come?"

Huo Yutong asked unexpectedly.

I am a dull person, and the reason I came here is complicated.

For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.

"You know each other?"

Liu Baiyu asked curiously.

Huo Yutong looked at me with deep eyes and replied casually:

"Mr. Toho is lucky to have a bet with his friend at the sixth day of the lunar calendar..."

"What's the result?"

"He won!"

"He won?"

Liu Baiyu looked back at me in disbelief.

"It's windy outside, tell me in the room..."

Huo Yutong turned around and took us into the room.

It's similar to when I came last time, the layout in the room is simple and elegant.

There are many books on the sandalwood bookshelf.

Slightly contrasting with this simplicity, various gambling tools can be seen everywhere in the room.

Wooden Paijiu, hard-plastered dice, and paper-plate poker are piled up on the table.

Looking at these gambling tools, Liu Baiyu asked:

"For so many years, Miss Huo still keeps her cards away..."
