"Good, good, good", hearing that his son agreed, Zhang Ju seemed very happy, and said three good words in a row!

Let's go, and while the sky hasn't darkened, let's go and return it to the house. As he spoke, he picked up Ma Xiaoyong and walked out of the courtyard.

"Mother, you better let me down, I'll lead the way in front to get there faster", Ma Xiaoyong's ass was wrapped around Zhang Ju's arm, and he suddenly grinned in pain. But he still managed not to snort in pain, worried that his mother would start to worry about him again after hearing it.

"It's okay", obviously Zhang Ju didn't think too much. She just wanted to get there before the sun went down completely.

When I first came down to walk, I felt pain in my buttocks. It made him walk a little awkwardly. However, as I walked, I slowly got used to it, from the beginning of my gait to the faster and faster, and the agile body made Zhang Ju, who was following behind, a little unable to keep up.

It's hard to imagine a five-year-old running that can make an adult a little overwhelmed. Of course, when the adult is a woman who is five months pregnant, everything no longer seems so frightening.

"Mother, it's there," Ma Xiaoyong pointed to the top of a low mountain not far away.

Because Ma Xiaoyong's speed was a little fast, and Zhang Ju was pregnant, he suddenly stopped at this moment and looked a little out of breath, and the hard work of the sun and moon in the past few days and the pain of losing her husband caused a trace of flushing on her pale face, which always had a trace of sickness.

"It's so beautiful here!", Zhang Ju exclaimed from the bottom of her heart. It's been two years since I moved here, but I didn't even realize that there was such a fairyland-like place in the mountains behind me.

Ahead, the waterfall cascades down from the top of the mountain and into the waterhole below. More than a dozen unknown fruits are erected on both sides of the waterhole, and each tree bears red fruits, which looks very attractive. It makes people want to take a few bites when they see it.

Near the waterhole to the right is a low hill with a thatched hut towering over the top of the hill, next to which an old tree looks lifeless. There were only a few bare tree trunks, on which several crows were still standing and quacking. It is quite a bit of a destruction of the artistic conception of this landscape. When the sun is about to set, it is even more eerie.

"There's a path leading to the top of the mountain, should we go over it now?", Ma Xiaoyong asked softly looking at his mother's somewhat dazed appearance.

"Go, why don't you go? If you do something wrong, you have to have the courage to take responsibility, let's go," Zhang Ju said very seriously.

Ma Xiaoyong didn't reply, and walked straight towards the path.

After a while, the two came to the thatched hut.

"Is anyone there?", Zhang Ju knocked lightly on the door and shouted.

Just as Zhang Ju was about to knock on the door for the second time, the door was slowly opened, and a fair-skinned and withered face appeared in the field of vision.

Zhang Ju was obviously stunned when he saw that it was an old man who opened the door, and just wanted to ask. But the old man spoke first. Glancing behind the woman, "Little doll, let's meet again so soon?" it seems that you are really destined for the old man," the old man said with a smile.

Without waiting for Ma Xiaoyong to answer, the old man turned to look at Zhang Ju, and continued to smile and said, "Girl, this little doll is your son, right?

Hearing the old man's words, Zhang Ju was stunned for a while, it seemed that the old man in front of him liked his child very much, and it was obvious that he didn't know that his son had stolen his money. Zhang Ju looked very embarrassed, and didn't know whether to talk to the old man about it.

Finally, Zhang Ju still made a decision. He took the small hand of the son next to him and bowed deeply to the old man. With a little guilt, he said: "Old man, I'm sorry, the child is not sensible." I have taken two gold coins from you, and now I apologize to you on his behalf and ask for your forgiveness", he took out two yellow gold coins from his pocket, stretched out his hands and handed them to the old man.

The old man didn't take it, but said with a smile: "Girl, is there any misunderstanding in this? These two gold coins were indeed taken from me by this little doll." However, I gave it to him. How can I apologize?".

This... When Zhang Ju heard the old man's words, he was a little stunned, and his outstretched hands were slightly stiff. I didn't come back either, and I felt a little overwhelmed.

The look of the girl in front of her was seen by the old man, and he knew what she was thinking. The old man explained to her.

It turned out that Ma Xiaoyong came to the back mountain to catch a hare this morning, wanting to help his mother make up for his body, but he was bare-handed and inexperienced, so he kept chasing a rabbit and ran here unconsciously.

Then I met this strange old man, touched him for a while, and insisted on taking him as an apprentice. Follow the old man to practice. How can this be done? What should my mother do if I leave? The old man once threatened him with his life, but he would not agree to live or die.

In the end, the old man had no choice but to ask him the reason~~

He told the family about the situation and said that he would never leave his mother.

The old man rolled his eyes and said to him: "In that case, you come to me every morning and practice with me, and you can go back when the sun sets." And I'll give you two gold coins every month, what do you think?".

When Ma Yong heard that there could be two gold coins a month, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he seemed a little moved. But out of defensiveness against strangers, he did not speak. But obviously, he didn't veto it like he used to.

The old man took in Ma Xiaoyong's expression, and the old man felt that there was a play. Hit the railroad while it was hot: "What else do you have to hesitate about? You see, by practicing with me, you can not only have two gold coins to buy some supplements for your mother's body, but also learn the ability to protect your mother." Why not?".

"How can I trust you? You are no better than my family here, do you have money, and what skills can you teach me?" Ma Xiaoyong asked in disbelief.

Finally, under the continuous bombardment of the old man's sugar-coated shells. At just five years old, he has begun to waver. Although his mind is much more mature than many children due to family reasons, he is still a five-year-old child no matter how mature he is. I still don't know that there is no good in this world for no reason, and if you get something, you have to pay something. And this time it will be his life that he will have to pay. Of course, that's an afterthought...

"Is it really a cautious little fellow?", the old man said with a smile. I don't know if this sentence is a positive or derogatory term.

After speaking, the old man's feet slowly left the ground, and he did not stop the rising momentum until he rose to about ten meters, and he was suspended in mid-air.

Ma Xiaoyong's eyes suddenly straightened. It took half a ring before he came back to his senses. He shouted in surprise: "Are you a sacred fighter, or a noble magician?" Even Ma Xiaoyong himself didn't notice that after seeing the old man's movement of being able to stop in the air, he unconsciously used the honorific "you".

This is a world where the strong are the strong. Whether it's an old man or a child, whether it's a cultivator or an ordinary person. This idea is deeply ingrained in their souls.

Hearing Ma Xiaoyong's exclamation, the old man was very satisfied. Landing steadily from the air. He smiled and said, "You'll know when you look back."

"Well, these are two gold coins, and I paid you in advance. You can go, remember to come here tomorrow morning. The old man threw two gold coins at Ma Xiaoyong. He walked straight into the thatched hut, and strangely enough, he didn't mention the matter of accepting apprentices again.

Ma Xiaoyong felt that he was about to be smashed by two gold coins and his head was bleeding, so he subconsciously closed his eyes and squatted down.

But after waiting for a while, I didn't feel any pain in my body. Puzzled, he narrowed one eye and looked around. I saw two gold coins floating quietly in front of his eyes.

Stretched out a small trembling hand and grabbed the two gold coins, not feeling anything wrong. The gold coins were easily handed.

Ma Xiaoyong blinked his cute eyes, and was very curious to pick up a large number of these two gold coins, pick them up and look left and right. Then he tossed it gently, and even bit it with his teeth.

How did this stop in the air? He was playing with two gold coins.

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded, startling her, "Go back, little doll, remember not to tell anyone that I am a cultivator, not even your mother." And when you come here every day, you tell your mother that you came here to be a little scholar who came here to do chores."

"Of course, you can also tell your mother the truth. But in that case, I will take back the gold from your hands and will no longer teach you the skill."
