Chapter 47 (1/2)

Compared with Chen Mo's surprise, the old man was much more calm. He looked at the watch on the wall and said, ”your work and rest time is not good. You should always have full spirit in our business.”

Chen Mo closed the door and said, ”be careful next time, master. How do you know I'm here? When did you go back to Baijiang? ”

During this time, the old man went out once, so Chen Mocai used this time to do a coal port ticket. Now, the old man runs to his home in the middle of the night. It's estimated that it's something important.

”I just came back today and came to you to tell you that I'm leaving tomorrow.”

When he came back and had to go again, Chen Mo's heart sank and asked, ”where are you going?

”You don't have to worry about it.”

”When will you be back?” Chen Mo poured a glass of water for the old man when he was busy.

”Not necessarily.”

The old man picked up the lock on the tea table and continued, ”are you learning to unlock?”

Chen Mo said modestly, ”yes, I'm afraid I can't keep up with you, so I'll practice in advance.”

While the old man was out, Chen Mo, who was told by the old man on time, had been practicing basic skills. For example:

Cut shredded meat on the balloon with a blade without cutting the balloon; Clamp the hair falling from the air with small tweezers quickly and accurately; Cover your fingers with a rubber band and pull open your satchel to practice quietly; Put your hand into the hot water and clip out the coins without hurting your fingers; Pick up a small piece of tofu with small pliers without damaging it.

Wait, wait, and so on. I dare not slacken at all.

The old man nodded approvingly and said, ”good. In the future, I must insist when I am away. Come on, I'll try your hand! ” He stretched out his right hand, put his middle finger and index finger together and said, ”try to break my two fingers or bend them.”

At that time, the old man's old hands were covered with wrinkles, and his knuckles were thicker than ordinary people's.

Chen Mo tries to bend Shi's two fingers with one hand, but soon uses the other hand. He grabs Shi's hand with both hands and tries to break his fingers down.

But the old man's fingers were as straight as a steel pipe.

The old man smiled and took back his hand and said, ”our business depends on hands, so hands should not only be skillful, but also stable and powerful. In the future, you will hang two bricks on two fingers every day for at least two hours every day. ”

”Don't worry, master. I will do as you say.”

”In addition to our skills and eyesight, another important thing in our business is makeup. Do you know what makeup is? Is to pretend to be yourself. ”

Knowing that the old man's lecture hall will start teaching again, Chen Mo immediately picked up the small book next to him and opened it to take notes.

The old man smiled and continued, ”it is very important for an excellent thief to learn to disguise. Different occasions should appear in different identities, and what to pretend to be like should be similar not only in shape, but also in spirit, more like actors than actors. Actors play others, and in our business we have to play ourselves. Because your identity changes with the environment. Different people should have different eyes, clothes, speech tone, and even different gestures and walking posture... ”

Chen Mo buried himself in making records and wrote more than ten pages in half an hour.

The old man took a sip of water and said, ”finally, I want to give you a piece of advice. Although we are thieves, there are ways to steal. Don't break the rules. Remember what the rules are? ”

”Yes. Two no, one stay and one send. ”

The old man nodded approvingly again and said, ”I've taught you everything I should teach. Each technique looks simple. But if you do simple things over and over again, you will become an expert. Repeat things and do them with your heart, you are the winner. In the same sentence, the master leads you in and cultivates yourself. We must persevere! ”

Chen Mo secretly raises his thumb in his heart. The dry old man in front of him is not only first-class in technology, but also has a set of Kung Fu.

”Master, you haven't taught me the technique of unlocking.”

”You have an unlocking expert around you, so I won't show off.”

Chen Mo was stunned. Unexpectedly, the old man touched everyone around him clearly. I don't know what else he doesn't know.

However, according to him, the monkey seems to be better at unlocking than him.
