The old man glanced up at Qiu An, and tears welled up in his eyes: "Really?" It's the old man who is dragging you down and not giving you good things. ”

Qiu An hurriedly shook his head: "No, master, if it weren't for you, I would have starved to death on the streets." Master, I want to try, maybe it fails? When the time comes, I'll come back with you, Master. ”

Unexpectedly, the old man's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and his crutches hit the ground heavily: "What nonsense are you talking about?" If you go out, you have to work hard to stay and succeed, how can you pour cold water on yourself before you work hard? How has the teacher taught you all along? ”

"Master..." Qiu An was frightened by the old man, and he had the impression that the master had never been so strict.

The old man stood up with his crutches and stared at Shi Yuan with serious eyes: "Young man, for the sake of my family's Xiao An who admires you so much, you promise me that you are not lying to him, and you will be able to help him as much as possible." ”

Shi Yuan felt the solemnity in the old man's eyes, so he nodded heavily: "Don't worry, old man, I will definitely train Qiu An well and take good care of him." ”

"Master, can you do it alone?" After all, Qiu An is a child, and he has never left this home when he has grown up so much, although it is dilapidated, but where the master is there, it is home.

"Silly boy, the master just had uncomfortable legs and feet for the past two days, and after two days, his legs will be better, just continue to set up stalls on the street, have you forgotten who you learned your skills from?" The old man patted Qiu An on the shoulder: "Go, a good man has ambitions in all directions, don't look forward and be afraid of this and that, how can you succeed?" ”

Qiu An lowered his head and didn't speak, and the old man urged him: "Go, pack up your things, I'll help you greet guests." ”

Qiu An lowered his head, raised his hand to touch his tears, and silently entered the room on the right.

The old man beckoned the two to sit down: "You sit down, I'll pour you tea." ”

Chu Jiu hurriedly stood up and wanted to help, but was stopped by the old man: "My leg just fell, and I'm not disabled, it's okay." ”

Poured two glasses of boiled water and handed them to the two of them, Shi Yuan and Chu Jiu thanked them, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

The old man said to himself: "My ancestors are fortune tellers, and they all say that fortune telling is a breakthrough in the sky, and there will be retribution for doing our business, but in my generation, it is even more menacing, losing my father and mother, losing my wife and child, and finally being alone at the age of forty." ”

Shi Yuan and Chu Jiu glanced at each other, listening to the old man's tone, such a sad thing was said by him as if it was an ordinary thing, so plain.

"But fortunately, God let me pick up Qiu An, he was only a little old at that time, my surname is Qiu, and I named him Qiu An, just to hope that he will have a safe life and not be like me."

"I'm a person, I don't have any skills, I don't have any money, I can only tell fortunes to others, and if I calculate the good ones, I can make some money, and if I calculate the bad ones, it is common to be beaten by others. But that's it, I'm also pulling Xiao Ann up, but... I'm useless, Xiao An went to school for a few years, but he dropped out of school because his family had no money, this kid was sensible and said that he would help me set up a stall to make money. ”

"Didn't you say that fortune telling will have retribution? You're still letting him learn this? Chu Jiu couldn't help it when he heard this, did this old man really love Qiu An? Or just use him as a money-making tool.

Shi Yuan pulled Chu Jiu, and Lao Qiu was not angry, but smiled: "Xiao An is just a skin, it's still okay to fool people, where can I leak any heavenly secrets?" I've been suffering all my life because of this, how can I let Xiao An be the same as me? He's a good boy. ”

Chu Jiu didn't have anything to say all of a sudden.

"I'm not saying that these make you pity me, it's just that Xiao An, this kid hasn't gone out to see the world, and he has been wandering around this town since he grew up, I hope you can take good care of him, and I will be satisfied when he is healthy and healthy."

Lao Qiu saw the rope buckle on Chu Jiu's hand: "This is what Xiao An gave you?" ”

Chu Jiu glanced at the buckle that was tied on his hand before: "That's right, we only met him when we were married." ”

Lao Qiu looked up at the two of them again: "You wait a minute." ”

As he spoke, Lao Qiu stood up and entered his room, and when he came out, he held a box in his hand.

"This is given to you, as a reward for helping me take care of Xiao An." Lao Qiu put the box on the table.

Chu Jiu opened the box and found that it was two strings of beads, which looked quite good: "Grandpa Qiu, this is..."

Lao Qiu just smiled: "If I have a fate with you, maybe I can help you." ”

Chu Jiu took the beads and took a look, they were ordinary wooden beads, nothing special.

"When my old man was bored, he cut down the tree in front of his house to make it, and cheap things can't be put on the table, I hope you don't dislike it." Lao Qiu added.

Chu Jiu hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I didn't mean that." "Chu Jiu is actually afraid that things are too valuable, and it is difficult for him to accept them.

Shi Yuan heard Lao Qiu say this, and reached out to take the box: "Since this is the case, we will also accept it." ”

Lao Qiu didn't say anything, just motioned for the two to drink tea.

Qiu An came out at this time, carrying a small burden.

Chu Jiu didn't seem to have much to look at him: "No?" ”

Qiu An scratched his head: "It's gone." Isn't there going to be a haircut? In fact, Qiu An didn't have much at all, and only one or two clothes to change and wear.

After bidding farewell to Lao Qiu, the three of them embarked on the road back to Shi Yuan's house.

None of the three of them spoke like that along the way, and they all had their own thoughts.

Qiu An was naturally thinking about the master, he hadn't left home since he was so big, and he didn't know if the master could be at home alone.

Chu Jiu felt that what happened today was quite mysterious, he picked up someone on the way after a casual calculation, and also met a master like Lao Qiu, Chu Jiu now regrets that he didn't let Lao Qiu help her calculate it again, didn't he say that Qiu An was all fooling? I guess he can't calculate accurately.

Shi Yuan has been sending messages all the way, although he is a core member of the FT team, there is still no way to make decisions about many things.

He was telling Xu Yanran about meeting Qiu An today, and about taking Qiu An back for training by himself.

Xu Yanran didn't say anything else, but said that after coming back, he would first look at Qiu An's condition before arranging the rest of the things, which made Shi Yuan feel a lot more relieved.

Qiu An's qualifications Shi Yuan is still confident, he believes in his vision, Qiu An is definitely a piece of jade, but what kind of climate it can become depends on how he is carved.
