Chapter 21 (1/2)

”Disciple Guo Rui, meet Master!” When I finished speaking to master Xie Tiantong, I went straight to my knees and kowtowed three times with ”bang bang”. I don't know whether it should be like this or not, but it's always like this in TV dramas, so I learned to do it.

The old man laughed, touched his beard and nodded frequently. When he saw me knock it off, he stood up, helped me up, touched my shoulder, nodded and smiled. He murmured, ”OK, Guo Rui, you will be my disciple. I will teach you magic. Come on, I will show you some of your elder martial brothers.”

After that, he took my arm in one hand and led me out of the house and into a small courtyard.

As soon as I went in, I saw four people, sitting in a small Maza, busy in a circle. The floor was full of paper, scissors and so on. They should be making paper men. This shop is a ribbon shop, which should also be a daily task.

”Master, these people are very strong. They are all above you.” At this time, Xiao Mo suddenly spoke.

I see. They are all practitioners. Working here as apprentices is probably just a cover up. Wait! He doesn't want me to do this kind of work, does he.

”Master.” ”Master.” ”Master.” ”Master.”

As soon as they saw the old man coming, they all got up from the ground, put down the paper and scissors one by one, clapped the soil on their hands, and all came smiling. One of the four was a fat man with a round body and a round face. He looked almost forty years old, bald, with a short beard and a funny expression. He was supposed to be a living treasure. Although he grew fat, he was the first of the four, and Xiao Xiaobu came to the master first.

”Master, here you are. Ah, I've finished the paper man, the paper car and the paper house you asked me to fix. You asked me to sweep the floor. You asked me to practice. You asked me to look at the warehouse. I've finished the wine hidden in the deep. Well, see you later, master! ”

With that, the whole person turned around and left.

The old man stood still and pondered for two seconds

”Come back, give me back the wine!”

The voice was heartrending. I connected with the three people. At this moment, they all covered their ears with both hands and kept their heads down.

After three or four seconds, one of the three men was tall and handsome. The man looked only in his twenties. His hair was dyed brown. He combed his airplane hair. He had a gold chain around his neck and a gold ring on his right middle finger. The whole person looks like a gangster, which is really a bit ruffian; but it also looks reliable to say that he is a serious person. In a word, he is half serious and half frivolous. It is estimated that such a person can be liked by girls outside.

”Master, don't get angry. You know, we've wanted to drink this wine for a long time. It's OK. We're waiting for us to teach him a lesson for you. When we find it, we don't tell us and eat alone.” Then he patted the old man on the shoulder, showing a ”don't worry” expression, but I don't feel at ease.

The old man seemed to have nothing to do with him. Looking at him like this, he turned his mouth, rolled his eyes, and did not speak. He put his head to the side and breathed out, as if to say ”go”, but he stopped half way.

The man said nothing and left with a smile. He didn't know what to do.

There were two people left. One was as thin as a bamboo pole. He was tall and about the same age as the fat man. His face was probably too thin and his skin was wrinkled together. He was very old. Two black Hu, like Lu Xun's eight character, is also bald. It is estimated that he is a combination with the fat man. Maybe he is called ”fat, thin and bald” or something.

Another one is mediocre in appearance, that is, when you look at him a hundred times, you still can't remember his appearance. As long as you put it in the crowd, you can't find it. The clothes on your body have no characteristics at all. From coat to shoes, they are very monotonous in black and white. There was no expression on his face. When he covered his ears just now, his expression didn't seem to change, and he didn't say a word all the time. He was paralyzed and dumb.

”As you go, as you go, as you go.” The old man waved his hand, and the other two walked away. The old man took me into the room and sat down on the chair. ”Hum,” he said, ”I wanted to show you what they are capable of and give you a long look. I didn't expect these guys to be so disheartened.”

I can see that he is not really angry, or the old urchin is in a little mood. He laughs and doesn't speak. Here comes an old man, who is younger than master. He is probably a housekeeper, holding a tea tray and two cups on it. He comes to us and puts the tea in front of us.

I said in my heart, do you still need a servant for such a small shop? Just as he put the teacup for me, he looked up at him.

A very kind old man, white hair and white beard, all cut very short, with presbyopic glasses and a kind smile, looked very kind. When I saw him, he nodded to me with a smile.
