1225 eight years
Looking at the master's expression, I knew that he must have something important to tell me, and hurriedly nodded to flatter: "There must be time, even if Sophie gives birth to a child, it is not as important as listening to your old preaching, walking master, I heard that Yanjiao's big red robe is very good!"
"You burn newspapers on the grave and fool the ghost? Yanjiao Da Hong Pao? Do you really treat Lao Tzu as a turtle?" The master slapped me on the back of the head and scolded with a smile, and the two of us wandered into the teahouse one after the other, looking for a relatively hidden corner, and the master took his thumb and forefinger to pinch the cigarette and look me up and down.
I haven't seen him for a while, the master looks really old, with wrinkles on his forehead, like a twist and turn of the past, with a short and hard mustache, a pair of brown eyes sunken in the eye sockets, and gray hair on the temples makes people feel distressed when they look at it.
Sending the waiter away, I respectfully poured a bowl of fragrant tea for the master, and asked softly, "Master, how are you doing lately?"
"Except for worrying about whether your kid will cause any trouble again, everything else is very good, I went to see my apprentice granddaughter when I came, and the little guy is getting more and more clever. The master snuffed out the cigarette butt, stretched out his thin hands and picked up the tea bowl and smiled at me.
I had a convulsion in my heart for no reason, and I sniffed and apologized guiltily: "It's worried about the master, it's the apprentice who is not sensible." ”
"Don't give me a crepe, if you don't scold me behind my back, I'll burn high incense, okay, stinky boy, get back to business, tell you about serious things!"
I told the truth what I thought in my heart and told the master 1510: "Those few scum are just a plate of small dishes, I can easily eat them with sauce, I have nothing to worry about, I want to kill them every minute, the only thing I am worried about now is how to rescue my brother Lin Kun, and whether Wang Xing has gone the wrong way." ”
"The affairs of the garrison, Lao Tzu doesn't have the ability to meddle, everything has to be done by himself, Wang Xing must be fine, I can guarantee you!" The master's pair of cloudy eyes flashed brightly, and he smiled at me: "The Yellow Emperor taught a total of two apprentices, and two of them had problems, and the rest of this must be treated as a treasure, please okay, Wang Xing may not give you a big surprise." ”
"Really?" I instantly frowned, although I always knew that Wang Xing's heart would definitely not go too far with me, but I could get the assurance from the master's mouth, and the feeling was completely different.
The master glared at me angrily: "Can I live a long life if I lie to you?"
"Great, great!" I hurriedly got up again to fill the bowl of tea for the master.
After the excitement, the two of us fell into silence, and the master sipped the tea for a long time before he spoke: "Little third son, how many years have I accepted you as an apprentice?"
"I met you when I was fifteen and a half years old, and this year is twenty-three, almost eight years!" replied without thinking.
The master nodded, half-closed his eyes and said softly: "It's been eight years, except for teaching you a few rough leg and foot kung fu at the beginning, my master actually didn't do anything, when you were down, the master didn't stay with you, and when you were bullied, the master didn't stretch out a helping hand, I really feel guilty!"
What's wrong with the master today? Why is he acting so normal? It makes me feel like my heart is in a mess, and I always feel that something big is going to happen, so I hurriedly said to the master: "Master, what you said is a loss of conscience, what do you mean that you haven't done anything, without you, how could Xiaoqi and the others be willing to do things for me." ”
"In the final analysis, Xiao Qi, a few of them are good deeds that you have done as soon as you think of them, I just played a role in promoting, good deeds are rewarded!" the master waved his hand.
"What about Fei Fei and Nian Xia? If it weren't for you, Fei Fei was poisoned last time, whether she could survive or not is two different things, not to mention giving birth to a fat girl like a flower and jade for me, these are all the credit of your old man, if it weren't for your matchmaking, the fourth brother of Tianmen knew me as an egg, when I first rectified Lu Feng, it is estimated that Wen Jin would be destroyed, there would be no current third son at all, and there would be no king, I don't say polite words Master, you are really worthy of that father!" Speaking of emotion, I got up and bowed respectfully to him.
Master has helped me a lot over the years, I don't know how many dangers I have blocked, if you compare the king to a person, I am a brain, brothers are limbs, and Master may be internal organs, although I can't see it, but without him, I really can't live.
"I have suppressed your flying and domineering for eight years, and forced you to cultivate Taoguang for eight years, just so that you can slap everyone hard one day!" Master's voice suddenly raised: "Little Sanzi, from today onwards, you don't have to deliberately hide your blood, you can do whatever you want, no matter when, Tianmen and you will always stand on the same line, you are short of money, Tianmen takes money, you lack people, Tianmen is out of people!"
"Master..." I was a little speechless for a moment, not knowing how to express my emotions, and opened my mouth and froze.
"The palms and backs of your hands are full of meat, you are my apprentice, Xiao Si counts me as half an apprentice, Song Kang counts me as half an apprentice, my wild dog fought for Tianmen for the first half of his life, and the remaining years will definitely allow you Zhao Chenghu a brilliant future!" Master stood up with full of energy, stretched out his dry palm and gently touched my head, and said dryly: " Child, you have suffered in the past few years, like a child without a father and mother, alone in society, the master doesn't care about you, presses you, just hopes that you can accumulate thick and thin, eight years, you are almost mature, the most important thing is... Forget it! Starting today, the king and Tianmen are one family, not a family on the lips, but a family that is really in the same blood. ”
My eyes moistened suddenly, since the beginning of the road to society, I have been like a headless fly like a random bump, these years have been cut people have been cut, as a grandfather, but also to kneel, the only belief that supports me to go down is the stubbornness in my heart and want to make all relatives become a human childish thought, hearing these words of the master, I suddenly have a kind of wandering for more than ten years to see the excitement of his parents, excitement with unspeakable grievances.
"Master knows you're tired!" Master gently stroked my head: "Everyone sees you Zhao Chenghu is now stepping on the wind and clouds, and there are a group of brothers, but no one asks you how much sweat and blood you have shed, Master knows, Master knows everything!
"Master, what is the most important thing you just said?" I asked curiously, remembering the way the master was about to speak and stopped.
Master twitched the corner of his mouth, lit a cigarette, coughed violently after just a few puffs, and only took two sips of tea to suppress it, and smiled at me and said, "The most important thing is that Master is old, and if you press you again, I'm afraid I won't see the day when you will soar." ”
"Master, don't talk nonsense! With your body, it is absolutely no problem to live to be 200 years old. I smacked him on the back.
The master shook his hand and knocked on my head and said, "What are you scolding Lao Tzu?
"I'm still waiting for you to give me another little brother, the country has opened up the two-child policy, you can't help but respond, right?" I pretended to be in pain, rubbed my head and tried my best to tease him with a funny tone, in fact, I was really uncomfortable at the time, he was really old, and now it doesn't hurt to beat me, I remember when I first met him, Master could let me cover my ass and howl from the ground for several days with a casual kick.
The master glared at me fiercely: "Do you want to give you a basket?" Since I don't need my help for the things here in Yanjiao, then Xiaosi and I will go to the capital later, visit a big man, and strive for an identity for you, you continue to mix well in the army, don't worry about the affairs of Shishi, forget if the little devils don't make trouble, if they dare to make trouble, they will be buried alive on the spot, I really think that my apprentice is a soft persimmon, let anyone pinch it round and flat!"
"Master, the people of the Daochuan Chamber of Commerce handed it over to me to deal with it personally, and when I go back from the army, I will let those turtle grandsons kneel in front of me, you also said just now, I and the fourth brother are both apprentices, why can the fourth brother lay down the country, and I can only gnaw the old man? I, Zhao Chenghu, am not a bad seed!" I patted my chest towards the master with pride.
Master looked at me in a daze, the expression on his face was very complicated, there were pride, distress, and some indescribable feelings, after a long time, he slapped a fist from my chest: "Good boy, that old man will sit and wait for your king to return!"
"Please, you're old!" I puffed my cheeks happily, but before I could pretend to be sharp, I was slapped on the back of the head by the master.
I pouted aggrievedly: "Master, don't you say that you won't press me in the future."
"That's an outsider, an insider, a master is half a father, and Lao Tzu still needs to go through the son's discussion when he beats his son?"
