Chapter 248 (1/2)
Lao Jiu adopted the four fatherless orphans and planned to train them all into qualified killers. But the children are still young. He has to take his time.
The oldest girl is only six years old. Lao Jiu changed her name to rose because she has a thorn. There are two four-year-old girls, one is lively, while the other is silent. They are completely opposite.
”How old are you two?” Lao Jiu squatted down and asked with a smile.
The lively little girl replied, ”she and I are four years old. We are all from chenjiacun.”
”Oh, you are both four years old. Well, you'll be called Rose and she'll be called rose. What do you think of this name? If it doesn't sound good, Shifu, I'll change it for you.”
”Yes, the name is just a code. Just like my father, his name is erlengzi. My mother says such a name is easy to feed.” Rose continued.
Rose did not say a word, but nodded, a little shy.
The remaining three-year-old, bolder little girl said crisply, ”I also like thorns. I heard my mother say that cactus is full of thorns. I'll call it cactus.”
Lao Jiu nodded with a smile and said, ”OK, you like it. But cactus can not only have thorns, but it's still a medicinal herb. Do you know?”
”I don't know, uncle, you know so much. Will you tell us a story later?” the little cactus blinked a pair of clear and innocent eyes.
Seeing Lao Jiu a little ashamed, he wanted to bring them all a way of no return, and those little girls even regarded themselves as good people. Alas, for his revenge, he can only give up these poor little girls.
”Well, you can call me master nine in the future. I'll take time to exercise you, make you all healthy, and then teach you Kung Fu. If anyone performs well, I'll tell her a story alone.”
Old nine smiled and picked up the little girl called cactus. He was happy and smiled very kindly.
”Master nine, if people learn well, can they eat chicken legs every day?” the cactus asked.
When she mentioned the drumstick, Lao Jiu was surprised to find that there was a glimmer of longing in the eyes of several other little girls.
The corners of Lao Jiu's mouth rose and said that as long as these little girls have weakness, it would be much easier to do. Tempting them with delicious food is the best way. It works better than anything.
He told the two guards outside to boil some eggs, and each divided them into two.
Looking at the way they wolfed down, Lao Jiu couldn't help falling into meditation. He went out and shouted to the two people, ”didn't I say I wanted you to take good care of these little girls? Why are you hungry?”
”If we return to the ninth master, how dare we neglect them? Our brothers give them all the best food for three meals a day.”
”That's right. When did our brothers do the work you arranged? We both ate dry food and gave them hot food.”
