"How is it? Do you admit defeat?" the old lady asked calmly, as if she had just done something insignificant.
When Lao Bai heard this, he was shocked, unbelievable, scared, and regretful. . . I woke up from all kinds of thoughts.
But despite all the reluctance in my heart, I finally made it through the world.
I saw Lao Bai take a deep breath, stand up calmly and say:
"I admit it, the strongest will have its own master, and every mountain will be as high as the next. Bai Zhantang is willing to admit defeat. My life is yours."
Seeing that Lao Bai did not deny his account, the old lady smiled and nodded.
But then she shook her head and smiled: "I don't want your life, just keep your right hand."
"Right hand?" Lao Bai asked in disbelief.
But the old lady didn't care about him. She directly ordered the big mouth:
"Son, go and get a knife for my mother."
"mother?.."
Dazui was also very hesitant when he heard the words. He wanted to persuade her, but his mother cut him off with a stern voice.
"Bring it!"
Dazui had no choice but to walk towards the kitchen.
When everyone saw Dazui really heading towards the kitchen, Xiao Guo and Xiucai hurriedly left the table to try to stop him.
The shopkeeper quickly came to the old lady and wanted to intercede for Lao Bai.
Xiaoliu outside the window was hesitating whether to go in or not. Wouldn't Big Mouth Girl really chop her?
But soon, the attentive Xiaoliu noticed that the old lady reached out to block the shopkeeper who was asking for mercy. She smiled softly and patted the shopkeeper who was holding his head and crying a few times. It was obvious that she was comforting the shopkeeper. Don't worry.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Liu felt relieved.
Thinking about it, Dazui will continue to work in this inn in the future. Lao Bai and them have no grudges. The old lady can't really kill Lao Bai and make it difficult for Dazui.
However, although Xiaoliu could see it, as the person who was about to have his hand chopped off, he didn't see it that way.
The old lady's chuckle, which obviously had a deep meaning, fell into the eyes of Lao Bai, the person who was about to have his hand chopped off. It was like a fox-like smile, which made him feel chills in his heart.
"Mom." Dazui took out the knife and handed it to his mother.
Through the scene just now, everyone knows that this old lady is an expert. Although they all want to stop her at this moment, they dare not make any mistakes.
Moreover, people in the world of rivers and lakes promise nothing, and if they lose, they lose. Lao Bai himself didn’t even ask for mercy, and they didn’t know how to ask for mercy.
The old lady took the knife and asked Lao Bai, "How are you, are you ready?"
When Lao Bai saw that the old lady was ready, although he was extremely scared, he still had the courage to walk over.
"The hand is right here, you can take it anytime."
Seeing that Lao Bai did not run away, the old lady smiled with satisfaction. She smiled at Lao Bai and said:
"Yes, quite courageous. However, I will not show mercy. Do you know why I wanted to win your clothes just now?"
"Why?" Lao Bai walked up to the old lady and stretched out his right hand tremblingly.
The old lady grabbed Lao Bai's hand and pressed it on the table. The strength was so strong that Lao Bai couldn't move.
Lao Bai was shocked. He knew that he was finished. He couldn't run now even if he wanted to.
The old lady rolled up Lao Bai's sleeves and said with a smile: "Because of this, if I cut off my hand, it will be easier to deal with when I send him to the hospital."
"Oh, you are really thoughtful."
Lao Bai almost said this through gritted teeth. His heart was trembling now, and his hands were shrinking in fear. If he hadn't been held down tightly by the old lady at this moment, his hands would have been affected. The controlling self retracted.
The old lady could naturally feel Lao Bai's fear. She did not intend to continue torturing Lao Bai and said directly:
"Are you ready? I'll do it on the count of three."
"one!"
"..." Everyone was extremely nervous and didn't know what to do.
"two!"
"..." Everyone closed their eyes and couldn't bear to look directly.
"three!"
"Shut up!" The knife fell!
"Ah!" Lao Bai roared heartbreakingly, but soon his screams stopped, and everyone opened their eyes.
"What do you mean?" Lao Bai asked in confusion, but the knife did not cut his hand.
"How did you feel just now?" the old lady asked.
Lao Bai was a little confused, but the shopkeeper quickly pushed him. "The old lady is asking you something!"
Lao Bai also came to his senses. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment before replying: "I feel like my life is over."
"What else?" the old lady continued to ask.
"I shouldn't bet on you."
"Is it just this one?" the old lady asked.
"Every set!" Lao Bai said firmly immediately.
"If I hadn't bet with you, I would be debt-free now and I could do whatever I want. I don't know how easy it would be." Lao Bai said with great regret.
When the old lady heard this, she also said with emotion:
"Hey, you always say that small gambling makes you happy, and big gambling hurts your health. But in my opinion, this gambling is just gambling, and there is no such thing as small gambling or big gambling. Those who win still want to win, and those who lose want to make a comeback. Once you get excited about gambling, you won’t care about anything else.”
"As long as you are on the gambling table, it doesn't matter how good your gambling skills are or how big your net worth is. If you don't play until you lose everything, no one will want to end it."
"So, if you bet for a long time, you will lose!"
The old lady's words shocked everyone, and Lao Bai, who had just experienced the life of a gambler, assured on the spot:
"Old lady, I promise you, from now on, I will never gamble again!"
Hearing what Lao Bai said, the old lady felt joy from the bottom of her heart: "That's good, then our debt will be written off."
"Son, would you like to take your mother home?"
"Oh, okay mother." Da Zui quickly helped his mother get up. What happened this night was really surprising and happy. It finally had a perfect ending.
but.
"stop!"
Just as the two were about to leave, Lao Bai's voice came from behind.
Dazui turned around in confusion and asked, "What else do you want to do?"
I saw Lao Bai, clasped his fists and knelt down and asked: "Senior, may I ask your surname?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at the old lady curiously.
The old lady also turned around quietly and said:
"Forget the name, even I have forgotten it. But the surname is easy to remember. My surname is Xuanyuan."
The old lady's tone was very calm, but the faces of Lao Bai and Xiao Guo changed drastically after hearing this.
Xiao Guo staggered and fell backward, knocking down the shopkeeper.
Lao Bai stood up in disbelief and asked in surprise: "Are you the legendary Xuanyuan with a severed finger?"
"What Xuanyuan?" Dazui asked in confusion. He had lived for twenty-seven years and always wanted to learn martial arts from masters in the world, but he didn't expect that his mother was the legendary hermit master.
The old lady didn't dare, but she waved her hand and said, "That's all in the past, don't mention it again."
"Wait a minute, didn't you have one of your fingers cut off in the legend?" Xiao Guo found something suspicious and asked quickly.
After hearing Xiao Guo's words, the old lady stretched out her left hand and showed it to everyone. "Look at my left hand?"
"One, two, three, four, five." Everyone quickly gathered around and started counting curiously.
"It's five, right?" Everyone looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at the old lady with questioning eyes.
"My hand turns out to have six fingers!"
