10. Chapter X
"Haven't studied?" Chu Liuxiang was really surprised.
ββ¦β¦ Oh, yes. Xie Xing nodded, not very understanding the purpose of this person's conversation with him, "Is there anything else this uncle, I'm going home if it's okay." β
Chu Liuxiang didn't care about his title, he carefully looked his bean body up and down, and when his eyes touched his hands, his expression changed again, and after a while, he asked again, "Do you want to learn martial arts?" β
Xie Xing was stunned and said honestly: "I think, but I don't have time." β
Learning martial arts, Lu Xiaofeng's master actually mentioned it to him, he didn't respond immediately, and then he was sent to a private school by Xie Ling to study, and the time to run around with Lu Xiaofeng became less and less, and the two of them often met when they were waiting for food together at his house, and they couldn't even see Lu Xiaofeng's master, and over time he forgot about it.
But at this moment, he was stopped by this strange-looking person and asked, Xie Xing thought about it seriously and felt that he still wanted to learn.
Not to mention anything else, after learning martial arts, you won't always fall behind when you and Lu Xiaofeng scramble to fry snails, right?
Chu Liuxiang didn't know that he had such a naΓ―ve and ridiculous idea in his heart, so he only asked him: "Why is there no time?" β
"I'm going to school." Xie Xing sighed, "If you skip school, the master will definitely sue Sister SΓΉ." β
"If I come to you every night to teach you kung fu, will you learn it?"
Xie Xinghu looked at him suspiciously, as if he was hesitating.
Seeing his appearance, Chu Liuxiang habitually shook the folding fan in his hand and said earnestly, "Follow me to learn martial arts, and you can keep your sister safe, which is much faster than studying and taking a reputation test." β
Sure enough, as soon as he touched his sister, Xie Xing immediately wavered, "So powerful? β
"Of course." Chu Liuxiang nodded.
I saw him frowning and thinking for a long time, and after a while, as if he remembered something important, he asked Chu Liuxiang, "Are you very good at martial arts?" β
Chu Liuxiang is not a person who likes to boast, but it is rare to see a seedling who gave birth to the idea of accepting apprentices, and he still said honestly, "It should still be a good sentence." β
Xie Xing sighed, and asked again: "Who is more powerful, you or Xiao Li Feidao?" β
Chu Liuxiang paused to shake the fan, frowning slightly, "Do you know Xiao Li Flying Knife?" β
"I've seen it twice." Xie Xing felt very unhappy when he remembered Xie Ling's good attitude towards Ye Kai, and his expression became depressed, "My friend said that he is very powerful, if I learn from you and still can't beat him, it will be useless." β
"Why are you fighting with Xiao Li's flying knife?" Chu Liuxiang was puzzled.
"Look at him upset!" Stand to reason.
How did Chu Liuxiang know that the little Li Feidao he was talking about was not the person he thought at all, and he was even more surprised, "A person like Li Xunhuan can actually make you unhappy?" β
Xie Xing: "Who is Li Xunhuan?" β
ββ¦β¦ You said Xiao Li flying knife. β
"Oh......" Xie Xing remembered that Lu Xiaofeng had indeed mentioned that Ye Kai was the descendant of Xiao Li Tanhua, and he thought that it was Li Xunhuan that this person said, "I'm talking about his apprentice." β
"Ye Kai?"
"Yes." Xie Xing nodded and asked again, "Who is more powerful, you or him?" β
If he asked Li Xunhuan, Chu Liuxiang would probably have to look at the face of his predecessors and not answer modestly-although the answer is estimated to be unknown to me, but since it is not Li Xunhuan but his successor Ye Kai, he can really pat his chest and say, "Maybe I'm better?" β
Hearing this, Xie Xing immediately made a decision, "Then you teach me!" β
Chu Liuxiang closed the folding fan and said seriously: "Have you thought clearly?" β
"Think it through!" Xie Xing said firmly and sincerely.
"Then from today on, you will be Chu Liuxiang's apprentice."
"Oh, Master."
When Chu Liuxiang saw his reaction, he knew that he must have never heard of his name, but this is not surprising, it is normal for a child like him to grow up with his sister and be just naughty in the neighborhood on weekdays, and he has never heard of himself.
But Xie Ling knew about him, could it be that he heard it from Ye Kai?
After worshipping a master, Xie Xing naturally didn't tell Xie Ling after he went back, after all, he was thinking that he wanted to learn martial arts well and beat Ye Kai, how could he let his sister know in advance.
After eating that day, Xie Xing took the initiative to clean up the kitchen, Xie Ling was moved, and lay down after taking a bath, completely unaware that after he fell asleep, his younger brother ran to the backyard to find Chu Liuxiang.
Xie Xing's qualifications are really good, otherwise Chu Liuxiang would not have moved this mind, not to mention that his sister is still inextricably linked to the murder case he is investigating.
In the early years, Hu Tiehua and Ji Bingyan also asked him why he didn't accept an apprentice if he was capable, and he told the truth that he hadn't seen the right one yet, and the two still didn't believe it; But he thought that if the two of them saw Xie Xing, he was afraid that he would also pat his thigh together and sigh, this kid is too suitable for you to be your heir.
Xie Xing's age is actually a bit old for learning martial arts, but he still grabbed the tail of the golden age, Chu Liuxiang didn't care about the wild ways he explored when he fought before, he didn't restrain him in the moves, it was all based on his personal preferences, and then helped him correct some "half the work" moves, which was easy to point.
Xie Xing was full of reverence for this cheap master after receiving his guidance on the first night, and his eyes were shining when he looked at him, "Master, you are too powerful!" β
Chu Liuxiang: "It's nothing, when I correct you, I can teach you better." β
"Listen to Master!" Xie Xing was very excited when he thought that he was about to snatch Lu Xiaofeng at the dinner table.
When Lu Xiaofeng comes back, he will definitely be able to let him know that Shibei will be three days, no, thirty days, he should be impressed!
"Listen to me, then hurry back to sleep, don't you have to get up early tomorrow to go to private school?"
When he mentioned the private school, Xie Xing remembered what happened on his way home, and asked him cautiously, "Are those little bastards at home...... You won't trouble my sister, will you? β
Chu Liuxiang had naturally settled this matter with money during his meal, and bluntly reassured him that those children would not trouble him again.
Xie Xing went to sleep in disbelief, and when he went to the private school on the second day, none of the other party dared to come up and continue to fight with him, Xie Xingxue sneered at Lu Xiaofeng's appearance, and turned his head to poke Zhu Zhu's arm, "Hey, are you coming to dinner tonight?" β
"Do you want to make fish?" Zhu Zhu has always been very good at grasping the key points.
"I don't know, but I think you'll do it if you come, right?" The foundation of the friendship between the two comes from Lu Xiaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng is not here at this time, and there are few words to speak, but fortunately, it is in the school, and the master will come to check their text recitation after a while.
This kind of thing, Xie Xing never needs to worry about.
Even Xie Ling didn't know that he could almost be called unforgettable when he was reading, and he could understand the texts that others spent half a day memorizing, and he understood them at a glance, and he didn't understand them very well.
Zhu Zhu's evaluation of this is - you are really born to be friends with Lu Xiaofeng.
Xie Xing didn't think this was a compliment at all, and he bumped a few times, but he still secretly gave him a lip sync when Zhu stopped reciting.
Chu Liuxiang planned to wait for Lu Xiaofeng to come back and then sue the two of them together, so at this time, he had a big secret and nowhere to say, jumping up and down even harder, and was directly taken out by the master and asked him to go to the punishment station.
"I ......" he didn't dare to talk back, so he had to go out obediently, and he caught a glimpse of the people who blocked him last night snickering there, thinking that sooner or later I will teach you a good lesson.
He didn't behave like this in the school, of course Xie Ling didn't know it at all, otherwise he wouldn't be able to eat and drink well and serve him and still face him with a good voice every day.
She only thinks that Xie Xing takes classes and studies seriously every day, and she knows that he is smart, so she rarely asks what he has learned.
Even so, Xie Ling didn't feel relaxed these days, and he was very annoyed.
This feeling was even more obvious when she stayed up on another rest day, and Zhu Zhu still remembered what she had said before, and asked her the night before going to the market, what time was it to the market?
Xie Ling thought for a while, "I'll come to your house to look for you in the morning, and then I'll take you with me." β
"That's right, I made something again and didn't have time to get it." Zhu stopped and said.
Xie Ling hurriedly waved his hand, "Let's talk about these first, going to the market tomorrow may not be mainly about selling things." β
Zhu Zhu didn't understand, but he only nodded and didn't ask.
When she arrived at the market on the second day, Chu Liuxiang was already waiting there, and when she saw her coming, although she was surprised that the person she brought was actually a child, she didn't show it on her face.
He was still wearing a blue gown, holding a folding fan in one hand, which had not been unfolded, and the other hand was behind his waist, his movements were calm and unhurried, and his tone was polite, "The ten-day appointment has arrived, Miss Xie." β
Xie Ling nodded, "Yes, so I brought someone here." β
As she spoke, she pointed to Zhu Zhu, who had not woken up with an expression on his face, "The things I sell are made by him." β
Although Chu Liuxiang felt that she would not lie, after all, it was easy to debunk this kind of thing, but she still didn't dare to believe it, "...... He? β
Zhu Zhu half-squinted and grabbed her hand and asked, "Sister Ah Ling, who is this?" β
"This ...... This hero is investigating a case, which has something to do with the agencies you did. Xie Ling thought for a moment and explained truthfully, "Anyway, you can answer truthfully whatever he asks." β
Referring to the things he made, Zhu Zhu finally sobered up a little, rubbed his eyes and looked up to see Chu Liuxiang. Chu Liuxiang also lowered his head to look at him, he and Xie Xing had also been apprentices for seven days, so they naturally recognized this child as a friend of Xie Xing in the school.
"Miss Xie's selling, all of them were made by you?"
"yes, very simple stuff." Zhu stopped nodding and admitted without hesitation.
Chu Liuxiang has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and it can be seen that these two people have no trace of deliberately deceiving him, but if he wants to make him believe that those things are all done by Zhu Zhu, it is naturally impossible to rely on just a few words from the two of them.
Xie Ling also knew this, so after seeing Chu Liuxiang's somewhat hesitant expression, she took the initiative to speak, "If Xiangshuai doesn't believe it, it's better to find a place where no one is there and let him do it for you." β
"Miss Xie said so, but Chu was disrespectful." He raised his hand, "Please." β
There are many places where no one is, but Xie Ling doesn't really want to take a person from the rivers and lakes home, so after thinking about it, he still found a restaurant and asked for a private room.
As soon as Zhu stopped sitting down, he asked her if she could call a squirrel mandarin fish to eat, and she reluctantly agreed, "Okay, good, call." β
In the process of waiting for the squirrel mandarin fish, Zhu stopped unpacking her burden and took out two things casually, and dismantled them into a pile of fine wooden planks and pieces of wood with lightning speed, and then lay there and thought about it, and after a while, he started to use his hands.
Chu Liuxiang frowned and watched his movements, smooth Cheng dΓΉ was comparable to Hu Tiehua's torn roast chicken, he was extremely surprised for a while, but he didn't speak, only raised his eyes and looked at Xie Ling, who was sitting by the window peeling peanuts.
Zhu Zhu dismantled a wooden thrush and a small xylophone, and made a small carriage with wheels and axles from the pile of wooden planks, and the squirrel mandarin fish he wanted when he finished it had not even had time to be delivered.
If you don't believe it, you have to believe it, Chu Liuxiang reached out and fiddled with the little carriage, revealing a smile, "It's really skillful." β
"It's hard to believe that you don't see this kind of thing with your own eyes." Xie Ling was very considerate to find an explanation for his temporary sluggishness, and then the conversation changed, "Although I don't know very well what Xiang Shuai investigated, I have thought about it in the past ten days, and I also have some clues to tell Xiang Shuai. β
"Thank you, girl, but it's okay." Chu Liuxiang said.
"There are too many people who ask me to buy these gadgets, and I can't remember them all, but in the past month, a small servant in Wang Yuanwai's family often buys dozens of them, which may have something to do with what you checked." She paused, "But this is just my speculation, Xiangshuai might as well check it himself." β
Chu Liuxiang's heart moved, "Is it the king in the north of the city?" β
"It's from the west of the city." Xie Ling is very sure.
"Well, thank you girl for telling me this." Chu Liuxiang hugged her fists and thanked her.
The squirrel mandarin fish happened to come up at this time, Xie Ling reflexively took it over and dismantled the meat for Zhu Zhu, and scooped two spoonfuls of sauce into his rice bowl while dismantling, "Eat slowly." β
Chu Liuxiang looked at this picture with a little smile, and originally planned to leave, but for some reason he also sat down until Zhu stopped eating, and finally took the initiative to take the account and pay it.
Xie Ling was a little embarrassed, and just wanted to say something, he waved his hand to stop him, "Miss Xie has done me a favor, and this is also how it should be." β
"Xiang Shuai is too polite." She scratched her face.
"Miss Xie, let's call me Chu Liuxiang directly." He laughed, he didn't plan to let her know about Xie Xing so soon.
Before Xie Ling could answer if it was okay or not, Zhu Zhu, who had eaten and drunk, shouted first, "You are Chu Liuxiang?!" β
"Isn't it like?"
β¦β¦
Zhu Zhu, who was waiting for dinner that night, patted Xie Xing's shoulder in a show-off tone and said, "Do you know, I went to see Chu Liuxiang with Sister Ah Ling today!" β
Xie Xing: ???
I'll see you every night?!
