Lu Wu and Gong Qingxue chatted with each other along the way, and after walking for a long time, Lu Wu finally saw his destination today from a distance.

It was the carpenter's shop in the west of the city.

He suddenly stopped, smiled at Gong Qingxue beside him, arched his hand and said, "Palace girl, I'm here, I'll go first, we'll meet next time." ”

Gong Qingxue looked at the direction of the carpenter shop behind Lu Wu, pursed her lips and said lightly, "Are you going to Mr. Yue's carpenter shop?"

"Mr. Yue?" Lu Wu had heard of this title for the first time, so he thought it should be the old carpenter's name.

He couldn't help but nod.

The girl raised her head slightly, raised her slender neck, and stepped forward: "It's just right, I'm going there too." ”

When Lu Wu heard this, he looked back at Gong Qingxue's back with a stunned face, looking surprised.

Could it be that Gong Qingxue said that the business that Mr. Ye arranged for him was in this carpenter's shop?

That's a strange thing.

As far as Lu Wu knew, the old carpenter had a strange temper, and he had a hot temper when he met people, and he had always been a kind of young and strong rough old man under his hands, but he had never heard of accepting a woman as an apprentice.

He couldn't figure out what to do, but he had to catch up with Gong Qingxue quickly and walk towards the carpenter's shop together.

After a few steps, he saw an old man with a scruffy beard and yellow teeth covered in oil sitting in the doorway, smoking a dry cigarette, his mouth spitting clouds and mist, and he was surrounded by smoke.

At that time, there was still some distance away, and Lu Wu smelled the pungent smell of smoke, and choked and coughed twice.

The old man noticed the movement here, frowned and followed the prestige impatiently, but when he saw Gong Qingxue beside Lu Wu, his expression suddenly collapsed, and the displeasure on his face faded, and an inexplicable awkwardness appeared.

"I said, Grandma, why are you here again? Didn't you say yesterday that the monthly money for this month was given to you, so you don't have to come again this month?"

Lu Wu looked back at Gong Qingxue beside him in surprise, and was surprised.

Although I didn't know the old carpenter, I had heard a little from Xu Heitie and the rice seller Li, who was notoriously short-tempered, and he looked like he was blowing his beard and glaring at everyone.

Who knew that today, this old man, who has always been famous for his violent temper, is even more afraid of this strange girl.

It's so funny, isn't this old man changing his sex?

Thinking like this, Lu Wu stepped forward quickly, bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Mr. Yue, junior Lu Wu, this time you are polite." ”

The old carpenter seemed to notice Lu Wu next to him, smashed his mouth, took a deep breath of the pipe in his hand, rubbed his fingers on the oily clothes at will, looked around aimlessly, and let out a lukewarm "oh" in his mouth.

Gong Qingxue silently walked into the carpenter's shop, and immediately caused the apprentices to stop what they were doing, and they all looked at the girl's figure in a daze, full of salivation.

Here is a group of men working all year round, full of the smell of sweat, where can you see such a delicate girl.

The old carpenter noticed the expressions of the crowd, his brows furrowed, his face was full of displeasure, and he scolded angrily: "What do you think about if you don't work?

At the end of this sentence, the old man with yellow teeth did not breathe, blew his beard and glared, and stared at the people in the room viciously, like an angry lion.

When the men heard the old carpenter's thunderous rebuke, they all shrank their heads, ran to the side, and went about their work.

Lu Wu watched from the sidelines, and finally appreciated the demeanor of the old carpenter, his cheeks twitched slightly, but he was hung in place, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

The yellow-toothed old man didn't pay attention to him, but he took care of himself and smoked the pipe in his hand without taking a sip, and a pair of small eyes secretly looked in the direction of Bian Gong Qingxue from time to time, his expression was full of inexplicable fear, as if he was looking at some intractable trouble.

After a while, Gong Qingxue walked out of the house, holding a small bench in her hand, and took a bowl of sunflower seeds, sat next to the old carpenter and began to eat melon seeds.

However, the girl's eyes were staring at the old carpenter tightly, and they did not move.

The old carpenter was quite uncomfortable stared at by this kind of gaze, as if he was sitting on pins and needles, and could not help but shrink back, and his gaze turned unnaturally away.

Gong Qingxue's eyes were still staring at the old carpenter's face, and she didn't shift a point.

The old carpenter's cheeks twitched slightly, and he was finally embarrassed by this gaze, so he turned around and said with a bitter face: "My little aunt, don't you look at me, okay? What are you staring at me like this? How did I provoke you today?"

Listening to the old carpenter's words, thinking of the contrast he faced with everyone, Lu Wu suddenly didn't hold back, and actually laughed out loud for a while.

The old carpenter's face sank suddenly, he turned his head and glanced at Lu Wu gently, his expression was full of gloomy chills, Lu Wu couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and lowered his head in disdain.

"Listen to him. Gong Qingxue on the side swallowed melon seeds and said suddenly.

The old carpenter's expression suddenly froze, and his face was full of reluctance.

He hesitated for a long time, but didn't say anything, Gong Qingxue frowned slightly, and kicked him directly.

"Oops. The old carpenter was in pain, and just wanted to say something, but he met the girl's unkind gaze, and his face was instantly full of smiles: "Good kick, good kick." ”

He turned his head to look at Lu Wu, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, he pursed his lips impatiently, and said lightly: "Say, what's the matter." ”

Lu Wu saw the actions of the old carpenter and the girl, and his heart was full of inexplicable amusement, but he still said quietly: "The younger generation really came here today to ask for something. The younger generation has heard of the name of the seniors, and I want to learn the formation path with the seniors, and I hope that the seniors can accept me. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Lu Wu's request, the yellow-toothed old man raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

He smashed his mouth, took a deep breath of the pipe in his hand, and lazily leaned back on the chair of the small wooden stool.

Lu Wu had long thought that this matter would definitely not be so easy, so he had to say: "It was Xu Heitie Lao Xu who told me and asked me to come to you." ”

As soon as these words came out, the old carpenter was slightly stunned for a moment, and a trace of dissatisfaction suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"It turned out to be the old boy. The old carpenter snorted lightly, and glanced back at the direction of the north of the city, "See if I don't clean him up!"

......

In the iron shop in the north of the city, Xu Heitie, who was originally at ease to strike iron, suddenly did not come, and shuddered.

He put down the work in his hand, and suddenly an inexplicable chill surged in his heart.

The big man frowned slightly, pinched his fingers lightly, his face changed instantly, and he scolded viciously: "I don't know how to do it, the stinky boy dares to cheat like this!"

Before he could finish speaking, something suddenly slammed into his head, making a metallic roar.

Xu Heitie's mind turned white in an instant, and he only felt that the world was spinning, and he lay on the ground with a "boom".

The movement here alarmed many of the men in the blacksmith shop, and they ran over one after another, their faces full of uneasiness, for fear that Xu Heitie would suffer from something or have an accident.

Xu Heitie lay on the ground and waved his hand, signaling everyone to be calm, and then touched the big bag on his head and smiled bitterly.

Lu Wu, you really hurt my brother and me!

......

In front of the carpenter's shop.

The old man with yellow teeth scolded and knocked the pipe in his hand on the edge of the steps, his face full of resentment.

Lu Wu watched from the side, and suddenly felt goosebumps behind his back, as if someone was cursing himself behind his back.

He instantly thought of Xu Heitie, wouldn't he really be so bright?

He immediately recited Xu Heitie's name several times in his heart, and apologized apologetically, hoping that he would not hold a grudge against himself.

Of course, he also knew in his heart that this old carpenter was of course unwilling to teach himself for no reason, so Lu Wu continued: "If Mr. teaches me, I will not lose the tuition fee. Maybe Mr. has also heard that I am now the fourth son of the Liu family, and I will have some savings every month, if Mr. is willing to give his money, I am willing to give all my savings to Mr. to show my gratitude. ”

Who knew that the old carpenter slowly straightened up, looked at Lu Wu on the side angrily, and snorted: "You can afford what I want, even if you can afford it, I just don't want to teach you, I'm not like that old bastard of Ye Zhiqiu, I pay attention to what is taught without class, I just don't like to teach you if you don't like it, what can you do?"

When Lu Wu heard this, he was suddenly dumbfounded.

He never thought that the master whom Xu Heitie greatly admired, the old carpenter, who was full of mystery and eccentricity in his eyes, would say such a scoundrel-like words.

He suddenly lost his temper, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Seeing this, Gong Qingxue on the side frowned slightly, kicked the old carpenter again, and glared angrily.

"Ouch, my little aunt, I haven't finished my sentence yet, why are you kicking me again?" the yellow-toothed old man screamed, jumped up directly from the stool, and dodged Gong Qingxue.

He looked back at Lu Wu with a look of surprise on his face.

Unexpectedly, this young man let himself be frequently taught by the little aunt and grandmother.

I really don't know what that little aunt thinks, she has repeatedly helped such a guy.

He sighed deeply, his cloudy old eyes narrowed slightly, and whispered to Lu Wu: "I see that you seem to have something on you, it seems that there is something I like, you can take it out and show it to me, if you can give it to me, it doesn't hurt to accept you." ”

Lu Wu was stunned for a moment, and looked down at his body, but he didn't expect the other party to have such a request.

But even if the other party finally opened his mouth, Lu Wu finally did it and pulled out the objects on his body the same.

All he had with him were some money, some strange and interesting knick-knacks, and a knife, and a scroll.

He took out the ground and placed it in front of the old carpenter, but the old carpenter was unmoved.

Lu Wu's face was full of doubt, and he muttered in his heart.

The old carpenter was strange, and said that there was something he liked, and at first he thought it was just money, but the old man with yellow teeth did not even look at it.

He frowned slightly, and continued to grope around his body, finally touching the stone in his arms.

He took it out of his bosom, placed it lightly on the ground, and continued to grope around his body to see if there was anything else that would interest the old man.

Unexpectedly, the eyes of the yellow-toothed old man suddenly shrank, staring closely at the stones on the ground.

His face was full of horror and puzzlement.

It's as if I've seen the most incredible thing in the world.
