Chapter 7 The most fearful thing is to lie to yourself
"Master Zhang, you're leaving like this?!" was still waiting for Zhang Qian to continue to test himself, but unexpectedly, the other party said to leave, Ren Cong couldn't stop him, and he was so angry that he jumped up.
Except for the three words "Master Zhang", Zhang Qian couldn't understand any of his other words. He turned around and smiled and hugged his fists, and continued to stride in the direction of Jixiang Temple.
"Master ......" Ren Cong was angry and anxious, standing in place and stomping his feet repeatedly.
The masters he invited home in the past, although they all turned out to be liars, never taught him any tricks. But at least for the sake of money and food, they will try their best to make him happy. And today, this Master Zhang is good, he didn't even have the mood to test him, and after asking a few inexplicable words, he pulled his legs and left.
"Shaolangjun, this Master Zhang is definitely extraordinary!" Just when Ren Cong was hesitating whether to jump on his mount and catch up, and beat Master Zhang first to get angry, Ren Quan, the general, suddenly lowered his head and whispered a reminder in his ear.
"Nonsense!" Ren Cong held back the evil fire in his stomach and immediately found a target to vent. Coldly avoided his head and roared in a low voice, "Of course this guy is weird, do you still need to say it?! This guy is clearly a test, and he is clearly teasing Ren! This guy, this guy doesn't know what to do! Ren Quan, you catch up with me, and teach him a lesson first! Regardless of whether he is superior or not, Ren is fighting to learn art from a teacher today, and he has to get out of this evil breath first! ”
"Shaolang-kun, Shaolang-jun is angry! Rest your anger! Listening to Ren Cong's words, the more unpleasant he became, the family general Ren Quan hurriedly reached out and grabbed his arm, "The subordinates said that he was extraordinary, not that he had lost his years, nor that he deliberately snubbed Shaolangjun." The subordinates said that he was not only dressed unusually, but also behaved unusually. ”
"Nonsense, how can a normal person be so rude? When Ren heard the shout, he immediately ventured to come to the rescue, but he teased Ren again and again?! Ren Cong's face was still flushed with anger, but his shouting was much quieter, and he didn't take any more action.
"Shaolang-kun, please listen to what I say!" Fearing that Ren Cong would cause trouble, the general Ren Quan shook it vigorously with the hand that grabbed his arm, and quickly added, "The thing in his hand is not a unique weapon, just a package, wrapped with a sewn belt." It was supposed to be a book inside, and the broken stones were all stuffed into it! ”
"So what, if he doesn't want to be eaten by wolves, he must find something hard to stuff into the package!" didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Ren Quan's gourd, Ren Cong rolled his eyelids at him, and responded angrily.
"The wolf was stoned to death, two. The wrapped skin is intact. The books inside don't seem to be rotten! "The observation ability of the family general Ren Quan is much stronger than that of Ren Cong, the broad young master, and he continued to remind patiently and whispered, "When the master poured stones on the ground just now, his subordinates secretly glanced at his package, and there were many mezzanines inside, and the openings of each mezzanine were sealed with rows of golden nails, but each of the golden nails was only the size of an ant, and they were exactly the same as each other! (Metal zipper)
Lest his own young man not understand, he used the thumb and index finger of the other hand to pinch together with one hand, and compared the appearance of "golden nails".
However, most of his efforts were in vain. That broad young Ren Cong didn't feel at all how rare it was to have rows of golden nails the size of ants that were exactly the same as each other. Instead, he focused entirely on his first sentence, "The package is really not damaged in the slightest, can you see it clearly?" ”
"Shaolangjun, my subordinates have protected the old man for so many years, and these eyes haven't missed anything!" Dissatisfied with Ren Cong's doubts about his ability, Ren Quan reminded loudly with a red face.
Kuo Shao Ren Cong, but completely ignored his shame, clapped his hands, laughed and said, "I know, that package is a treasure!" On the surface, it is used to hold things to hide people's eyes and ears, but in fact, it is a strange blade! ”
"Shaolang-kun!" Ren Quan was so angry that he couldn't cry or laugh, but he couldn't deny that his young man's words made sense. Gritting his teeth, he took the initiative to reveal the true meaning he wanted to express, "Even if the golden nails are not made of pure gold, they can be made into the size of ants, and they are exactly the same as each other, which is extremely rare." And there are several rows of gold nails sewn into the package, but the master only uses it to hold books and smash the wolf's head, what a luxurious life the master usually lives? ! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a waste of money. Also, even if the master doesn't eat meat, the wolf skins of the two wolves can be exchanged for hundreds of Tongbao if they are peeled off and used casually. However, the master didn't even look at it, and just threw it in the field! ”
"Nonsense, how can a person who uses gold nails to make a package and a bag buckle and stumble on two wolf skins?!" The anger in Ren Cong's stomach disappeared in an instant, and he turned his head to look at Zhang Qian's back as he gradually moved away, and quickly made an calculation in his heart.
If Master Zhang has been spending money since he was a child, it is understandable that he can't look down on his "sincerity". After all, the Ren family is near Chang'an City, which can only be regarded as solid. Although the family has both a grange and a business, there have been no celebrities or high-ranking officials.
And those masters in the legend will not easily have anything to do with ordinary people. And the greater the ability, the higher the vision.
Thinking of this, Master Zhang's previous behavior of refusing his invitation and leaving was not an offense. As the saying goes, the phoenix does not inhabit the sycamore. He couldn't invite a master, so he could only blame himself for his lack of sincerity, and his Zhuangzi was difficult to enter the master's eyes.
But just missed the opportunity to apprentice under the master, how could Ren Cong be willing? was searching his stomach and thinking about what he could come up with to impress "Master Zhang", but there was a fly-like chatter in his ears, "Also, Shaolangjun." Even if you want to kill two wolves, you must use weapons. That Master Zhang, but he stoned the wolf to death with just a package. The strength on his arm, I'm afraid that the entire Ren Jiazhuang can't find an opponent! ”
"I told you that package is a treasure!" Ren Cong was anxiously thinking about how to learn from his teacher, and counted impatiently, "What's the use of saying this?" The master is gone, and he doesn't even bother to give me the opportunity to test! ”
"This ......" Ren Quan was so red-faced that he hesitated for a moment, and added stubbornly, "But Shaolangjun, you didn't mention the matter of apprenticeship just now!" The subordinates thought that the master did not necessarily disdain to test you, but disdainful and did not want to be with us! ”
"That's not the same?!" Ren Cong stomped his feet, so aggrieved that his eyes were full of tears.
On the surface, he looks quite old, but in fact, he is only in his early eighteenth year (the ancients counted him as a virtual age). Therefore, it is inevitable to be discouraged when you are turned away for the first time. And the general Ren Quan is an old Jianghu, seeing that his own young Langjun is so sad, he immediately comforted him carefully, "It's different, he refused to go to the village as a guest, but he didn't refuse to go with you." Shao Langjun took me and others to follow, don't mention the matter of being a guest, just drop by, and then improvise. According to the observation of his subordinates, although Master Xiao Zhang's identity is mysterious, he is not a difficult person to deal with, and he is a little jerky in dealing with people. If his subordinates judged correctly, it was very likely that he had left the mountain gate for the first time. At this time, if Shaolangjun can take the initiative to provide him with some help, it will be a charcoal in the snow for him! ”
"Yes, Shaolangjun, a good girl is afraid of Lai Hanzi!"
"Don't talk nonsense, that's called sincerity to the golden stone!"
……
Ren Wu, Ren Liu and other cloth turbans also stepped forward one after another and gave Ren Cong ideas in a gossiping manner.
People are most afraid of deceiving themselves. Many of the 21st century's phone and internet scams are simply not very sophisticated. can't stand some people, and they take the initiative to fill all the loopholes for the scammers, and they can't stop it.
In the Tang Dynasty in the eighth century, the same was true. Zhang Qian's behavior and words are not on the same level as those of the masters. can't stand Ren Cong's begging for advice from a master, and the clothes and belongings on his body are all things that Ren Cong has never seen.
So, after recovering from the blow of being turned away, Young Master Kuo Ren Cong strode towards Zhang Qian. The mount of the substitute traveler, then lose any five, let six two to take care of, lest after riding the horse, it will appear high, causing the unhappiness of the master!
"Invite Master Xiao Zhang back, even if he is not a master, figuring out the origin of those clothes and belongings on his body is also a great achievement for the Ren family! If you can find a craftsman to imitate it, the family's business will definitely be able to go to a higher level! "Looking at the pious back of his own young man, Jun Ren Cong, the family general Ren Quanchang let out a sigh of relief, and his face was full of relief." Maybe the owner of the village will immediately exempt me from my hard work and transfer me to Chang'an City to be a shopkeeper! ”
After accompanying Ren Cong to find a master for so many years, he was already tired and tired. Ren 5, Ren 6, Ren 7, etc., the same!
"Quack, quack, quack......" Several crows, returning from foraging, flew over everyone's heads. While screaming, he threw a few balls of bird poop!
