After Miss Liu scolded the little carpenter as a "hooligan", she never came to the construction site again, and what followed was that the food of the small stove became bad, and the oily braised pork that could be eaten every once in a while was gone, and it became bacon, and there was not much bacon, and there was too much bracken, and it tasted tasteless.

This made the little carpenter nostalgic for the days when Miss Liu was there.

In fact, this period of time in the Liu family is a rare and comfortable time for the little carpenter who has followed his master to the rivers and lakes and the docks since he was a child.

Especially the food in the small stove made the little carpenter have an endless aftertaste.

After all, since childhood, hunger has been filling the memory of the little carpenter.

Being able to eat meat is what he has always thought was the greatest happiness.

Especially the big fat flesh that was oily, when he thought of this, the little carpenter who was concentrating on his work, couldn't help but smack his lips, recalling the satisfaction of the oil spreading in his mouth.

However, the little carpenter did have a marriage contract, and it was set with the help of his master, so even if there was a temptation of big fat, he would not dare to disobey it.

After all, in his heart, Master is heaven, earth, and everything.

When he was young, the little carpenter was beaten and starved because he was disobedient, and his obedience and dependence on the master have been integrated into his bones.

The life on the construction site has become boring because of the departure of Miss Liu, but the little carpenter has also saved a lot of heart, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the work of building and building, starting from dawn until the sun goes down, and then following a group of villagers working in the construction site, going to the river in the east of the town to take a shower.

Playing secrets, the little carpenter thief is powerful.

The little carpenter mingles with people, but Lu Da seems a little cold and withdrawn, in addition to smoking dry tobacco, he also likes to drink, and at the end of his day, he will go to the wine shop in the town to buy wine, and get drunk before he can fall asleep.

Of course, no matter what, Lu Da drank alcohol, but he would never make a mistake.

The addition of the master and apprentice has pushed the construction progress of the Liu family's new house very quickly, which makes Master Liu very happy.

Miss Liu gave birth to a few days, probably because she couldn't be idle, and came a few times, but this time the little carpenter didn't talk nonsense anymore, and did things in a proper manner, asking him anything, he should do anything.

Sure enough, as soon as the young lady of the Liu family was happy, the level of food supply came up a lot.

In the meantime, Wu Banxian came a few times, looking for Lu Da to gossip, he is a person who eats by mouth, and has developed the ability of "seeing people and talking about people, and talking about ghosts", with a respectful attitude and very enthusiastic, Lu Da is also willing to talk to him, and he has nothing to do but also set up a small table, get some peanuts and drink.

These days, the two seem to be old friends.

has come a lot, Wu Banxian will talk to the little carpenter when he meets him, and care about the little carpenter.

The little carpenter didn't like this slick old man with a goatee a little too much, and always felt that behind his enthusiasm, there was a hint of inexplicability, but this was just his idea, the so-called "reaching out and not hitting the smiling person", and this master was so close to him, so he was also respectful and did not dare to slack off.

Wu Banxian knew the little carpenter's craft, and was particularly interested, and told the little carpenter that his reputation had spread, and many rich people in the county knew about it, and some people asked him to ask, saying when he was free, and he also helped to make some furniture, the salary was not a problem, and the wood was also good wood.

The little carpenter told Wu Banxian that the construction period here is relatively tight, and the master and Master Liu have a verbal agreement, so they will consider taking on other jobs when they are busy here.

And these things, you have to ask his master, because of the matter here in Sandaokan Town, his master may have a new place to go, and he may not necessarily stay here.

Hearing this, Wu Banxian sighed and kept saying, "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”

He looked at the little carpenter like he was looking at a piece of jade that no one knew.

Time passed little by little, the project was advancing in an orderly manner, this evening, the sunset was all over the sky, the little carpenter finished a carved Taishi chair, stretched a lazy waist, just about to find some more work, suddenly Lu Da came over, and said to him: "You go to Zhang Ji shop to buy a pork knuckle, and then cut half a catty of pork liver in sauce, a bag of peanuts, and then go to Deyue Lou to sell a pot of bud valley wine......

The little carpenter was very surprised, and said that the town is not good?

This Zhangji shop and Deyue Lou are all in the county seat of Qiancheng County, there are eighteen miles away from this place, there is a mountain beam in the middle, it takes a lot of effort to turn over, it is evening at this time, one comes and goes, it will be dark.

When Lu Da heard this, he glanced at the little carpenter, gave him the money, and then said: "If you are told to go, you will go, what are you talking about?" ”

Although the little carpenter felt that his master's requirements today were a little abnormal, he did not dare to disobey the master's orders, put on cloth shoes and prepared to leave, and at this time the master also asked those craftsmen and helpers to let go, this time was earlier than usual, the villagers thought that it was the master master who pityd everyone for working under the scorching sun too tired, and thanked in their hearts, and went out and met the little carpenter, and a few familiar young people shouted: "Thirteen, go swimming in the river?" Be merry and ......"

The little carpenter waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "I have to go to the county seat and buy wine for my master." ”

Someone is concerned: "Go to the county seat? I went to the county seat so late, I came and went, the sky was dark and heavy, you have to be careful on the road, there are wild beasts on the beams of Dongshan, and this world is not very peaceful, if you meet bandits, you will lose your life. ”

The little carpenter was a little scared, seriously?

The older man next to him smiled: "He scared you." But there is no food and drink in the town, so why go to the county to buy it? ”

The little carpenter said that my master commanded me, how do I know?

A bald head said: "Oh, it's really hard for you to be this apprentice." ”

Another young man from the carpenter team said enviously: "Hard work is hard work, but I can learn real skills, if Master Lu is willing to teach me, let alone ask me to go to Qiancheng, even if I rush to Tanzhou, I am willing." ”

The others laughed and said: "You turtle son thinks about it, but like you clumsy, why does Master Ren Lu want to teach you?" Do you think everyone is as talented as Thirteen? ”

Someone else asked: "Thirteen, your master's real ability is to ward off evil spirits and catch ghosts, have you learned this?" ”

The little carpenter shook his head, saying that my master wouldn't let me touch that piece, saying that people who do such things have too many taboos, and they need to be transported to the town, and I have a thin life, so I can't learn this.

Some elders sighed and said that it was a pity, a pity.

The little carpenter left the construction site with the others, and then walked along the main road towards the county seat.

He is a young man, born with a good strength, and once followed a famous swordsman Xiong Cao in Qianyang to learn a knife called "suppressing Qianling", half of the practitioners, although his master requires him not to fight with people with the rules of the door, but the foundation is there, so the feet are fast, walking like flying, but will not feel too tired, but can go out to breathe, it is also very good.

It was dark, he rushed to the county seat, Qiancheng County is the Taoist government of Chenyuan Road in Xiangxi, there is a garrison here, so the night is very lively, the Zhang Ji shop and Deyue Lou are not closed, the little carpenter bought wine and food, did not dare to have a little delay, and hurried back.

In the end, it was a mountain road, and I was a little tired on the way back, and it was already dark, so I had to walk carefully by the moonlight, and my feet naturally slowed down.

The little carpenter was worried that he would be scolded by the master if he went back late, so even though he was tired, he gritted his teeth and persisted.

When crossing the Dongshan Liangzi, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, the little carpenter turned his head, the first thing that caught his eye was two torches, and then two men on horseback galloped across the road, and when passing by the little carpenter, the man in the lead also subconsciously looked at him.

This man had a fierce face, a scar on the left side of his face, and his eyes were shining, and the little carpenter looked at him as if he had been stabbed in the face with a short sword, and he couldn't help but palpitate.

Fortunately, the man did not stop, and rode past the people, leaving only his back and the jumping torches in the distance.

Got a case?

The little carpenter was a little uneasy, and that uneasiness was like a fire, which burned in his heart once it came out, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace and hurried in the direction of Sandaokan Town.

He endured his exhaustion and tried his best, and finally arrived at Sandaokan Town, stood on a high place and looked down, and saw that the most brightly lit place was the construction site of the Liu family's new house.

Things in the world really come when you are afraid.

When the little carpenter hurried to the construction site, he found a large circle of people outside, men, women and children, full of people, and the little carpenter squeezed in with great difficulty, and at last someone recognized him and shouted, "The apprentice of the master master is here, let me let go." ”

Hearing this, someone immediately made a way, and the little carpenter was finally able to move forward.

When he walked into the inner circle, he saw two horses tied to the stakes on the side, and he thought they were the two men he had met on the way.

He carried the cooked food wrapped in lotus leaves and a jar of wine, and continued to walk, when Dayong came out of it, grabbed him, and said to go, go to see the father-in-law.

At this time, Dayong lost his usual politeness, and grabbed the little carpenter's hand very tightly, like an iron hoop.

This posture is a bit like being afraid of people running away.

The little carpenter was almost escorted inside, and he was a little surprised, and asked Dayong, "Where is my master?" What about my master? ”

Dayong did not answer, but continued to escort him, past the shed in front of the construction site, the little carpenter found a man lying in a pool of blood, the man was facing up, half of his face was gone, and his brain was bleeding all over the ground, but he still recognized this person as the Liu family's vigil buddy.

Dead?

The little carpenter became more and more frightened, and Dayong also escorted him to the site of a messy construction site, and then said to the front: "Chief Lin, this person is the apprentice of the suspect Lu Da, Gan Shisan. ”
