After wandering around and coming back, Wang Hao followed the old man Qi into the shop and was not blocked, but after entering the shop, the old man Qi went up to the second floor, closed the door, and ignored him.

This is a two-story small building, the first floor is a shop, the second floor is a lodging, the first floor is stuffy and hot, there are many mosquitoes, Wang Hao insisted for a few minutes and escaped, shouting at the window on the second floor with the lights on: "Old man Qi, brother will come back tomorrow, you wait!" After speaking, he turned around and left.

When I got home, I took a shower and changed a set of clothes, and then I felt a little cool, and my stomach was a little hungry, so I went out to a barbecue stall, ordered 20 skewers and a bottle of beer, and thought that I couldn't just forget it, and I could still hear the sound of 50,000 yuan thrown into the sea.

There was nothing to say all night, early the next morning, Wang Hao drove to the old town in the north of the city, which is basically a rental house, he was lucky, there was a façade room for rent diagonally opposite the old man's shop, which was also a façade on the first floor and a residence on the second floor, so he rented it and prepared to fight with the old man Qi for a long time.

I paid the rent for half a year, bought an air conditioner online, and bought toiletries in a small supermarket around, and when it came to the evening, it was basically done.

Lily came around before going to work and said, "Brother Hao, are you going to live here?"

"Hmm!" Wang Hao nodded, because he didn't have an ID card for the time being, and the house he wanted was still rented in Lily's name.

For a day, Old Man Qi looked at him coldly and did not make a sound.

In the next week, Wang Hao had planned to follow Old Man Qi every day, inseparable, annoying and annoying him, and also eating and drinking him, but in actual operation, the reality deviated from the ideal, and it was very easy to follow Old Man Qi, but it was very difficult to eat and drink each other's.

For example, by noon, Wang Hao's stomach had already begun to growl, but the old man Qi just didn't eat, and the two of them starved, and finally Wang Hao was defeated and ordered takeout, but as soon as the takeaway arrived, he was snatched by the old man Qi, and he took a bite shamelessly, and then pretended to cough and sprayed all the rice into the dish, so that Wang Hao couldn't eat it even if he grabbed it back.

So it finally developed into that every time he arrived at the meal, Wang Hao automatically ordered two takeaways, and he had to change the bucket of water every day, because Old Man Qi didn't do it at all, and making tea became his job, and gradually felt a little wrong, not pestering Old Man Qi, but becoming the other party's little follower, making tea, pouring water, buying food, and cleaning.

On this day, the old man Qi finished eating, drank tea and lay on the recliner to rest, while Wang Hao sat on the stool next to him, with a depressed expression, he didn't know whether to persevere.

"The takeaway tastes so bad, from tomorrow onwards, you go grocery shopping and cook. Old Man Qi's voice suddenly sounded.

"Huh?" Wang Hao was stunned and said, "Why? ”

"You don't learn to pick locks?" said Old Man Qi.

"Learn!"

"Then start buying groceries and cooking tomorrow. ”

"I ......" Wang Hao wanted to say that I was a hair, but he only said one word of me, and the rest of the words were swallowed back, and after thinking for a while, he comforted himself in his heart, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and he knows what he sees like an old man who is about to enter the earth, so he should carry forward the tradition of respecting the old and loving the young: "Oh, good!"

The next morning, Wang Haochen finished practicing, bought breakfast and came back, and called Lily to take him to a nearby vegetable market.

"Brother Hao, aren't you going to eat Old Man Qi?" Lily asked with a puzzled expression, "Why do you have to cook by yourself?" besides, do you know how to cook?"

"I think so. Wang Hao said that he did not explain too much.

I bought ribs, shrimp, clams, sea bass and a few things of green at the vegetable market, and to be honest, he was about to vomit after eating takeout.

"Brother Hao, buy so many things, can I come to eat at noon?" asked Lily.

"Come on. ”

"Thank you, Brother Hao. ”

At noon, Wang Hao made sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed sea bass, spicy clams, shrimp, and fried a green vegetable, Lily said while eating: "Brother Hao, I can't see it, your cooking is quite delicious." ”

Wang Hao actually doesn't quite understand how he can cook, and it seems that his skills are not bad.

Old man Qi was quite satisfied with the meal, but he still didn't mean to teach Wang Hao to open the lock, although after eating, Wang Hao hinted several times, but he pretended to be stupid and didn't see it.

"I'll you, won't you be tricked by this old man again?" Wang Hao secretly guessed in his heart, feeling that the old man Qi in front of him was very appropriate to a sentence on the Internet, believe you are a ghost, you are a bad old man.

The investment is too big, the money is spent, the time is wasted, and in the end, if the goal is not achieved, then it will be a complete failure, so although Wang Hao wanted to leave, he gritted his teeth and did not leave, and he no longer complained or hinted at anything, because it was useless for Old Man Qi.

He gritted his teeth, holding back a lot of strength in his heart, stunned to consume with the old man Qi, just like that, after another half a month, he gradually applied to this peaceful life, during which he received several calls from Qu Bing, saying that a dragon would not let her come to Linhai again, and he was very aggrieved Yunyun, Wang Hao comforted for a while, and there was no good way, after all, the original intention of a dragon may be to protect his safety.

This morning, Wang Hao bought breakfast as usual and came to Old Man Qi's shop, but before eating breakfast, Old Man Qi suddenly asked, "What do you want to do when you learn to open locks?"

"I ......"

Wang Hao was just about to make up a reason, but the old man Qi hurriedly said: "I only listen to the truth, if it's a lie, you don't need to say it." ”

"I, I'm ......" Wang Hao said two words in a row, the reason he had just made up was stunned and unspoken, his brows were locked, and he thought for a moment and said: "My wife and her first love are getting along again, her first love is an addict, I want to install a camera in his room, otherwise, without evidence, my wife will not believe it." ”

These words are true, but they are not his real purpose.

"Even if your wife knows the truth, what can you do?" Old man Qi had a wise look in his eyes at this time.

"Of course I can't go back, but if I leave, won't I admit defeat? This is a battle, even if you have to retreat, you have to defeat the enemy first. Wang Hao said.

Old Man Qi stared at him for more than ten seconds, and finally nodded slightly and said, "Yes." ”

"Uncle Qi, are you going to teach me how to pick a lock?" Wang Hao asked, a little excited in his heart, he had been here for more than 20 days in order to learn to pick a lock, and he also spent more than 50,000 yuan, the cost was a bit high.

"Two choices, first, three days to teach you to open all kinds of security doors and ordinary locks on the market, as for the proficiency depends on your own practice, second, teach you a trick empty-handed. Old man Qi said.

"What is the empty hand?" asked Wang Hao with a puzzled expression.

Old man Qi smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Hao's body, and in the next second, when he picked it up again, he had an extra mobile phone.

"This ......" Wang Hao looked at the mobile phone in Old Man Qi's hand, and didn't say anything for a moment, because it was too fast, it was a little incredible, the mobile phone was his, and it was in his pocket a second ago, and the next second it appeared in Old Man Qi's hand, and he didn't feel it at all.

"Understood?" asked Old Man Qi.

Wang Hao nodded.

"The things handed down from the old society, I originally thought that it would end with me, but when I met you, maybe it was fate, and I thought about not letting this craft be lost, you think about it, if you only learn the first one, I can teach you immediately, if you learn the second thing, you must follow the old rules, kowtow to the tea and worship the master. Old man Qi said.

"Oh, give me a moment to think about it, my mind is a little confused right now. Wang Hao said.

"Give me the answer by six o'clock tonight. ”

"Oh!" Wang Hao replied.

The apprenticeship that the old man Qi said is not the same as the apprenticeship in the current society, this Wang Hao has vaguely felt in his heart, the apprenticeship in the old society is a very serious matter, the prince of heaven and earth, once he kowtows, the master and apprentice are like father and son.

"What should I do?" Wang Hao thought secretly in his heart, according to his original wishes, just learn an ordinary lockpick, as long as he learns the skills and principles, and practices diligently, he can open the door of Huang Hongwei's apartment unconsciously and complete the task, but Old Man Qi gave him a problem.

Although it seemed that Old Man Qi's expression was calm and light, Wang Hao had a hint of understanding in his heart, if he refused to be the other party's apprentice, it was estimated that Old Man Qi would be fine on the surface, but he would definitely be sad.

A person who was half-buried in the soil, who had already lost the heart of inheritance, was suddenly hooked up again, and also thought that it was the fate of God, once he refused, he might be hurt deeply.

After thinking about it, Wang Hao felt that he couldn't refuse, although he didn't want to learn any clever skills: "Alas, the old man Qi is quite pitiful to be alone, so he should recognize an ancestor and serve carefully in the future, as the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure." ”

didn't wait until six o'clock in the afternoon, at noon, Wang Hao made a decision: "Uncle Qi, I will choose the second one, inherit your mastery, and worship you as a teacher." ”

"Boy, don't be reluctant, put it in the old society, begging the person I took him as an apprentice to kneel down to the beach from here, even if I let out my words now, there will be an endless stream of people coming to the door. Old man Qi said.

"It's a blessing to be your apprentice. Now that he has figured it out, Wang Hao no longer struggles, and said respectfully.

Old man Qi nodded with satisfaction: "In the evening, you come to the second floor, and then you will apprentice again." ”

"Hmm!" Wang Hao nodded, but there was a wail in his heart, after tonight, he would not just pretend to be a grandson in front of Old Man Qi, but become a real grandson, and he would have to retire in the future.

In the afternoon, Old Man Qi began to teach Wang Hao how to unlock the lock, found out several locks for the anti-theft door on the market, and demonstrated how to use a wire to hook the lock while explaining the principle.

The spring lock is too easy to open, as long as the hook is accurate, it will be opened all of a sudden, the mechanical lock is a bit difficult, it requires skills and feelings, Wang Hao did not master it for a while, which provoked the old man Qi to complain for a while: "Look at your very bright appearance, why are you so stupid, two hours, a mechanical lock has not been opened, look at it, I will demonstrate it again." ”

Wang Hao pursed his lips, felt depressed for a while, and said secretly: "Brother has just learned well, can you give me some time to practice, and you are not born to be a thief." Of course, I didn't dare to say this kind of thing in front of Old Man Qi.
