A day in late autumn and early winter. Master invited me to his house. Let Shi Niang make a big table of meals that are more sumptuous than the New Year. That. I also made an exception to drink liquor. Now that I think about it. Baijiu is really not a good thing. I still hate it. It's not that I was drunk that day. I think my mother usually weighs a pound. Not to mention my dad. I'm even more than two catties of liquor. But I really don't like this thing.

That night. Master's house. The white light is always on. I. Master. Shi Niang. The group sat in the hall and ate and drank very happily. I feel like Master hasn't been so happy in a long time. After you have eaten and drunk. I've been wondering. It's a homely meal, why is it so grand. Master, what do you mean by that?

At the end of the feast. Master's eyes are blurred. He gripped my hand tightly and smiled for a long time before he spoke. "Erbastard. Master. I won't take you on a trip these days. You honestly stay at home and wait to marry Jinglin. Ahh

"Huh. Wrong. Master. You always take me with you every time you go to work. How could I be without me this time? You're always thinking about getting rich alone."

Master laughed when he heard this. said, "What kind of apprentice did I take in?" It made me look bad to walk there."

"It's not. Master. You are mistaken. You're old at this age. How can I rest assured. You're out on your own. If you always have something to say, just say it. There's a job for me to go. You're always at home. I'm going to settle things out there."

"I'm not going. It's for you to get rich. ”

"Master. You, Master, this old fox is cunning. Three or two sentences spared me.

"Erbastard. Master will be out for a long time this time. I won't be able to come back for a while. What a fortune? I don't think I'll get rich. Some things have to be paid out of pocket. Believe it or not. ”

"This. I believe. Master's words. Can the apprentice not believe it? Anyway. Master. You just go out without a penny. Along the way, people will be told fortunes. If you ask for money or something, you can also eat with a mouthful of food. I'm not worried about that. But I'm afraid of an emergency. You can't handle it alone."

"Then when did you say that the teacher had missed?" Master's words have just come out of his mouth. Otherwise, I will regret it.

"Yes. That. At the Black Wind Mouth...... "Before I could speak, Master knocked me back with my fingers.

"Shut up. You remember everything."

"Let's talk about it. Xingze. Speaking of which, I also listened, "Shi Niang is very interested."

"You are still serious," Master Chong Shi Niang is a black face.

"Actually. It's just ......" I just wanted to talk more. The master raised his slap and made a gesture of wanting to slap. I hurriedly closed my mouth and swallowed the words back into my stomach.

"It's so mysterious. I can't even talk about it. "Shi Niang is a little unhappy.

"You really are. You don't see that the second egg is bad. His words. You can believe it too."

"Even if the second egg learns badly. I also blame you for being a master. This is called the upper beam is not right, and the lower beam is crooked."

"What. You. How can you be so partial to the second bastard. You two are really angry with me," the master just finished scolding. I laughed out loud. It's like feeling naïve.

"Two eggs. Master. No more of these days. You have to take care of your teacher. Take care of our family. I'll try to come back and drink your wedding wine when you and Jinglin are married. Good or not"

"So long. It's the end of the year," I was a little surprised. Because. Most of our masters and apprentices usually spend two or three days in their lives. At most, it is not more than half a month. Now Master won't come back for two or three months. It's weird. Is this old man going to find aliens? Funny.

"Well. Not necessarily. If it goes well. Maybe I'll be back in a month.'

"Master used to think you were mysterious. But I've never felt like you're so mysterious as this time. What the hell is going on. "Actually. It's nothing. It's just traveling all over the world. Learn about people's suffering. Punish the evil and promote the good."

"O dervishe"

"Pretty much. This way. Since you have chosen, you can't go anywhere. can only go one way to the dark" The master that night was more abnormal. But I really didn't think it was too big. Later memories were that I was too careless. Because since then, our master and apprentice have never lived together......

The next day. So the master went out to work and left my unfortunate apprentice at home. Unexpectedly. This time, the master went out for more than two months. There was not a shred of news. I didn't even call my wife. The whole person is like the evaporation of the world. The anxious teacher washed her face with tears all day long. Tea and rice do not think. I'm afraid that something will happen. However, there is news from Master. It was an afternoon. I'm busy working from the new house, and I don't worry about my master. Just go to her house and have a look. She didn't eat at the old man's house.

I hurried to Master's house. When I got to Master's house. I suddenly saw Hezi, the mysterious traveling doctor in the village, sitting on a stone mill where grain was milled. Idle clouds and wild cranes smoke their own dry cigarettes. I wanted to go up and say hello to him. After all, he had helped me many times. But remembering Master's many warnings. He's not a good guy. Stay away from him. I pretended not to see him walk by. I hadn't gone far before I heard:

"Two eggs. Come here," the second Hezi called me.

"Uncle Hezi, the second child", I'm a little embarrassed.

"Do you know where your master went?"

"I don't know. It's been almost two months since I went out. I haven't come back yet."

"He's coming back"

"Uncle Erhezi. How do you know? ”

"Because he will die in less than three days"

"What nonsense are you talking about."

"I said that your master Shao Xingze will not live for three days. It's hard to say whether he can rush back to the village or not," Erhezi finished speaking, picked up his medicine box, and turned around to leave.

"You're fucking fucking. How dare you curse Master, "I pounced on him, snatched his medicine box, and smashed him to pieces." In an instant, we were fighting together. The second Hezi is old and frail, and he is my opponent there. A few times I knocked him to the ground. He scolded while picking up his glasses from the ground:

"You bastard. You actually killed your second Uncle Hezi. I don't think you know right from wrong. Doesn't distinguish between good and evil. Confess the thief as a father. What kind of good person do you think he Shao Xingze is? You're still like a fool of encouragement."

"I killed. You old thing. Let you insult Master," I slashed my head and covered my face like the second child on the ground. The second Hezi didn't resist like a dead dog. Just scolding crazy words.

"Two eggs. Stop it. Let go of you, Uncle Erhezi. You bastard, your Uncle Erhezi has saved your life many times. How can you take revenge?"

"Master. This old bastard. He actually cursed the master to not live for three days. I'm not even angry when I kill this old bastard," I said angrily, and kicked the second child Hezi several times.

"Two eggs. Hugh is presumptuous. How your master usually teaches you. When is the time for the weak to bully each other? What did you just say?"

"Master. He said. Master doesn't have more than three days to live," I cried with anger.

"When did I talk about it. When did I talk about it? I'm just crazy. My words. You believe it too. Are you a second egg or a fool?"

"You old bastard. You're still arguing here," I scolded, slamming my fist and smashing it into the face of the second Hezi. I never wanted to be caught by my mother. Then I was grabbed by the collar and thrown aside. I was still angry, and then rushed up like a mad dog, and when I was two steps away from the second Hezi. Shi Niang slapped me in the face. I was shocked and completely woken up, I covered my face and shouted:

"Shi Niang"

"Two eggs. How your master usually teaches you. Respect for teachers. At the very least, you should know about respecting your elders. Can your second Uncle Hezi withstand your fists and kicks at this age? ”

"Yes. Shi Niang. He said Master......"

"Life and death are fate. Wealth is in the sky. Your master has been in the Yin and Yang realms for many years, and he still can't stand these words. What are you afraid of. It's a blessing and not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided. Your master really had this calamity in his fate. You think he'll be able to escape. ”

"Shi Niang"

"Get in. Give me a penalty for kneeling. Go to the front of the portrait of the ancestor and think about the past: "I watched the master help the second child Hezi up from the ground. I was angry, but I couldn't do anything. I had to run into the courtyard of the master's house and plunge into the house of the ancestor and think about it. I bowed three times and bowed to the portrait of my grandfather. Pray for Master's safe return. No, not only but my sister and I can't do without him. Our blind date in ten miles and eight villages is inseparable from him. Now. I knelt in front of the portrait of my grandfather, and shuddered when I thought of the words of the second Hezi. The words of the second Hezi have always been vicious. It's just as accurate. He said who died. Whoever will not live. He was like the Grim Reaper. At this moment, I really have the heart to lift a knife and dismantle him.

I hadn't knelt down for a moment when I heard my sister sitting alone in the main hall of the hall and crying softly. She was angry with me like that. She was actually more worried and anxious than I was. More than two months have passed. Now Master is like evaporating from the world. There was no news at all. I don't know if it's safe. Even. I don't know if it's dead or alive. I hope Master has great powers. I can return safely.

Now. I couldn't get on my knees anymore. I hurriedly walked out of the dark room and came to the teacher. Who knew that the master who had always been strong collapsed first. I couldn't stop my tears from saying to me:

"Two eggs. What can I do? Your master hasn't heard anything from you yet. He'd never been around for so long before. Even if it's a few days later, I'll call home. How many days and nights has the master and mother been watching. I can't wait for a call from your master. In the past, when people died in other places, and when they lost people, it was your master who went to help them find them. But this time, if your master is lost, who will help us find it. Shi Niang poured out her bitterness and helplessness over the years in a few words. But so what?

"Master. You don't have to worry. I have followed Master for so long and I have known Master's energy. Shi Niang. Please rest assured. Master will definitely come back safely. Live on. If Master doesn't come back these days. I'll take the dry food on my back and go to the Master."

"Kids. The world is big. Where are you looking? ”

"Master. You don't have to worry too much either. Master Jiren Tianxiang will definitely come back."

"I hope so" Shi Niang still has too many grievances to say. I didn't dare to say it. She was afraid that something bad would happen. Me too. But at the time, there was nothing to be done.
