Chapter 21 The Master Accepts Apprentices

Xiao Chujiu followed Xiao Laodao's instructions, untied the wolf child's hands and tied the wolf child's feet. After all, the wolf child was raised by a she-wolf, and he couldn't untie the rope, and after his feet were tied, he just blindly pulled it, but it became tighter and tighter.

Xiao Laodao walked over and handed him the cooked beef, the wolf child's eyes suddenly lit up, obviously hungry, no longer screaming with the rope, snatched the cooked beef and buried his head in gnawing.

Seeing this, Xiao Laodao sighed softly, and after he returned to sit down, my grandfather asked him, "Brother Xiao, have you come to the town to inquire about the wolf child?" ”

Xiao Laodao glanced at my grandfather, shook his head ashamedly, and said: "Eleven just arrived in the town and couldn't wake up, I only cared about saving him, where is the time to inquire about the news......" Before he finished speaking, Xiao Laodao was stunned, and asked my grandfather, "Brother Liu, you said that you ...... just now How did you know that the dry bones just now belonged to the wolf child's mother? ”

The master picked up the wine jar, toasted Xiao Laodao, and told Xiao Laodao in detail the information he asked from the cripple.

After hearing this, Xiao Laodao frowned and said, "In this way, are the parents of this wolf child gone?" ”

My grandfather nodded, "Not only are his parents gone, but even his relatives and officials haven't found it, and you have seen the corpse brother just now, it must be the wolf child's mother, and the cripple didn't have the guts to lie to me, what he said should be the truth, but he just pity this child." ”

Xiao Laodao heard my grandfather say this, he seemed to feel something, looked at my grandfather a few times, and asked, "Brother, what are your plans now?" ”

My grandfather clenched the wine jar in his hand, "What else can I plan, since this matter has happened to me, I have to take care of it, I want to avenge the wolf child and their family." ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly showed a helpless face, and said: "I just knew that you would do this, so what about revenge, where should this child go?" ”

When my grandfather heard this, he was silent, he was a happy character, and he rarely thought about the aftermath of things, Xiao Laodao continued: "We can't release him back into the mountains and forests, let him continue to be a beast, right?" ”

The master's heart moved, and he glanced at Xiao Laodao, he felt that Xiao Laodao seemed to have something in his words, so he asked Xiao Laodao: "What are Brother Xiao's plans, I listen to Brother Xiao." ”

Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled and said unhurriedly: "Right now...... We are still short of manpower, brother, I still have a big tomb on hand, it is not okay if there are fewer people, in my opinion, it is better to bring this child, anyway, he has no relatives, you accept him as an apprentice, I will teach him to be a man......"

"What, I'll take him as an apprentice?" Before Xiao Laodao finished speaking, my grandfather hurriedly interrupted him, "This is absolutely unacceptable, I haven't graduated from the teacher myself, and besides, he is only five or six years younger than me, how can I be his master." Saying that, my grandfather paused, "Brother Xiao, I don't think it is better for you to take him as an apprentice, with your age and experience, it is very suitable." ”

Xiao Laodao shook his head slightly, "No, brother, I can't accept any more apprentices, there was a master who looked at my life in the past and said that I only have two apprentices in my life, if I accept apprentices again, the master and apprentice will turn against each other, and there will be endless troubles." Brother, as a teacher, regardless of age, those who have skills in the body deserve it, you are a well-known dragon slayer, not only a good martial arts, but also exorcism and exorcism, famous on both sides of the Yellow River, although young, but you have the qualifications to accept apprentices, besides, since we really want to keep him, then we have to give people a name, you can't treat it like a beast, don't you say? ”

Xiao Laodao's words made my grandfather speechless, and in the end, the grandfather reluctantly agreed, but at the moment, the wolf child is still a beast, and it is impossible to give the grandfather a bow, according to Xiao Laodao's meaning, accept it for the time being, and wait for him to train the wolf child well, and then call him three bows and nine knocks, and officially apprentice.

That's it, my grandfather accepted an apprentice in a daze, he is a righteous man, since the wolf child has the status of his own apprentice, he naturally has to care more about him, as for the wolf child's hatred in their family, my grandfather is more and more concerned, from the beginning of sympathy, to the current mission.

My grandfather looked at the wolf child who was buried in gnawing meat, and said to him earnestly: "For the teacher, I will help your family avenge tomorrow, and this will be a meeting gift for the teacher." "Of course, the wolf child didn't understand what my grandfather was saying, and still gobbled up the beef.

After being full of wine and food, a few people simply cleaned up the hall, used the burden as a quilt, and slept in the dilapidated hall, but my grandfather couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and he thought in his heart, how to avenge the wolf child.

It's not like my grandfather hasn't done this kind of thing before for others, but everything must have a plan, and he must be famous, otherwise if it spreads, what is the difference between himself and those robbers who kill people without blinking?

The master couldn't sleep here, and Xiao Laodao didn't seem to be able to sleep either, so he got up every once in a while to look at Xiao Shiyi, as if he was afraid that something would happen to Xiao Shiyi at night.

When Xiao Laodao got up to look at Xiao Shiyi again, my grandfather also sat up, Xiao Laodao was stunned for a moment, and then lowered his voice and asked my grandfather, "Brother Liu, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"I can't sleep." Saying that, my grandfather looked at Xiao Shiyi beside him, Xiao Shiyi had already fallen asleep at this time, and the grandfather comforted Xiao Lao Dao and said, "Brother Xiao, you don't have to worry about Eleven, I see that after he has eaten, his complexion has improved a lot." ”

Xiao Laodao sighed and blamed himself: "Eleven is like this, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have been careless at the time, I have been digging soil for so many years, this time, it is the most wretched!" ”

Hearing Xiao Laodao say this, my grandfather also felt a little sorry for Xiao Shiyi, because if Xiao Laodao hadn't accompanied him at that time, he would have stayed next to the coffin, and Xiao Shiyi might not have been poisoned.

My grandfather asked, "Brother Xiao, how did you help the eleventh drive of corpse poison?" ”

"How do you drive away the corpse poison?" Xiao Laodao smiled bitterly: "I used an old recipe, say it...... Alas, it's been eleven bitter too. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Laodao looked embarrassed and said: "Actually, the method of expelling corpse poison is to fight poison with poison, soak water with stones in the pit to drink, soak a bowl of water in a stone, soak for two hours, this restraining corpse poison has a miraculous effect, but, just like you said, eleven is not considered corpse poison, I soaked him in two bowls of water, it took four hours, he drank it twice, and this is a little better, but ...... How many people can drink the water that can be soaked in thatched dung stones? ”

My grandfather is silent, and Xiao Laodao is silent.

One hour is equal to two hours, and four hours is eight hours, in these eight hours, Xiao Laodao also thought of some other methods, such as taking Eleven to the town to see the doctor, buying some herbs, configurement of some antidote pills, etc., anyway, he was not idle in these four hours, let alone inquire about the news of the wolf child, and he didn't even have time to send letters to my grandfather.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Laodao asked my grandfather, "Brother Liu, what are your plans, how do you want to help the wolf child avenge it?" ”

My grandfather said: "I want to find some evidence, and when the evidence is conclusive, I will report to the wolf child." ”

"Reporter?" Xiao Laodao hurriedly waved his hand, "This can't be done, now in this world, officials and businessmen collude, the family surnamed Zhu has money, I'm afraid he has already bought off the government, and besides, this is an old case more than ten years ago, where to find evidence, just with that cripple, does he dare to go to court to testify?" ”

What Xiao Laodao said is not unreasonable, but my grandfather's impression of the government is not bad, because my grandfather's second uncle is a person from the county government, and when the grandfather was young, the county government of Weishi County was like his own home, and he was free to enter and exit. After returning to Sanwangzhuang's hometown, the people in the county government of Yanjin County are also good, especially the head catcher, who also helped him, otherwise he might be in prison now.

My grandfather asked, "What does Brother Xiao think I should do?" ”

Xiao Laodao pondered for a moment and said: "We can push the boat down the river and let the wolf child and his mother take revenge by themselves, even if the East Window incident happens in the future, it will not fall on our heads, but we must find the skull of the wolf child's mother, otherwise, this thing will not be possible." ”

"What are you looking for a skull?" My grandfather asked.

Xiao Lao Dao replied mysteriously: "When you find it, you will naturally understand." ”

My grandfather asked again, "Then how do I find it?" ”

Xiao Laodao immediately glanced at my grandfather suspiciously, and asked, "Brother Liu, don't you know all about the ancestral skills of your family?" ”

My grandfather paused, "Yes, my father forced me to learn when I was a child, and I learned it all." ”

Xiao Laodao asked again: "Then in those spells in your family, there is no tracking technique, or ghost hunting technique?" ”

The grandfather thought for a while, "It seems to be ...... It seems that there is a magic technique of burning incense and asking questions, which can ask not only ghosts, but also people. ”

"Isn't that what it is?" Xiao Laodao said: "Anyway, the two of us can't sleep, you can use that spell to ask now, see where the female ghost is, bring the skull back to me, and you don't have to worry about anything else." ”

The grandfather showed a look of embarrassment and said, "Our family ...... Although my father taught me everything, I never used it, and I don't know if it works. ”

"You can't say that, brother!" Xiao Laodao said categorically: "If the spirit is not spiritual, don't you know if you try it, there is a way that is sincere and spiritual, if you don't feel that it is spiritual, then you don't have to do it anymore, and your family's magic will be broken in your hands." ”

"This ......" the master suddenly swallowed dryly, speechless.

Xiao Laodao got up from the floor, took out a bundle of incense from his own small baggage, and handed it to my grandfather, "Take it and try it, there is always a first time in everything, otherwise your father will pass on these to you, and it will be in vain for his efforts." ”

My grandfather sighed in his heart, this Xiao Laodao, his mouth can really speak, he took the incense into his hand, Xiao Laodao asked him again, "What else do you need, just say, I'll find it for you!" ”
