Chapter 33 Promise
In fact, I am still at war in my heart, whether I want to learn Taoism from Xu Laodao.
If you learn, you have to worship him as a teacher, and I don't know how many bad things will happen in the future. If you don't learn, your life is at stake, and there may be more bad things, so let's learn, at least there is a guarantee if you learn.
Xu Lao Dao glanced at me and sighed:
"You two boys, sit down."
When Gao Liang heard Xu Laodao say this, he immediately sat down, in a posture like a primary school student, with his butt only half sitting on the sofa, his waist straight, and his hands behind his back.
Seeing him like this, I felt a little funny in my heart, so I had to follow his example and sit down.
Xu Daoquan ignored our strange gestures, walked to the TV table, grabbed the pen and paper on it, and threw it to the two of us:
"Write down your birthdays. If you really don't know the lunar calendar, you can write the solar calendar. ”
The two of us glanced at each other, and Gao Liang didn't hesitate so much, grabbed the pen and paper and wrote.
I said in my heart that this old way seems to be going to tell fortunes for the two of us, and see if the eight characters match him. His interview requirements are very much in line with his profession.
Whatever, this old Taoist must have goods in his belly, give him the eight characters, and let him help me tell fortunes.
Both of us write the solar calendar, the new youth who have grown up in the new era, in addition to watching the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, who still looks at the old yellow calendar?
Xu Laodao took the eight characters written by the two of us, counted for a while, and sighed:
"Well, that's exactly what I thought...... You two, I can only accept Zhou Dabiao as an apprentice. ”
"Why?" I asked with Gao Liang.
Xu Laodao's eyes stood and he replied loudly:
"No why, it's my rule!"
We were about to ask again when the doctor came in for rounds. The process is still the same, ask the patient's situation, give an explanation, continue to take medicine, rest well, and be discharged from the hospital next week.
During this period, Gao Liang has been sitting on the sofa, his face full of disappointment. I looked at him and felt very uncomfortable.
The two of us, one of us wanted to worship Xu Daoquan as a teacher, and the other was simply forced to helpless. As a result, a birthday eight characters screened out the ...... who wanted to apprentice the most What kind of rule is this?
I looked at Xu Laodao humming and chirping with the doctor on the hospital bed, and I couldn't help but feel on fire, if there was no highlight, this serious illness would have killed him! Now you have to highlight and beg him in turn?! It's really blind and enthusiastic!
As soon as the doctor left, I stood up:
"Master Xu, I appreciate that you look up to me, but I have no interest in Taoism. If you are interested in accepting apprentices, I think it is more appropriate to highlight them. If nothing else, just see what he does to you these days? You should know his sincerity. ”
It is said that Gao Liang's temper is bigger than mine, but now he is like a quail, twisting and pinching:
"It's a small thing, it's a small thing. But Brother Biao is right, I really want to worship you as a teacher...... Why don't you just take us both in...... If I can't do it, I'll be an auditor......."
A young man who is one meter and eight meters tall is now full of supplication.
I really can't see highlights like this:
"Forget it, forget it! Bright, twisted melons are not sweet, he should be more than one master in this world! ”
"Don't, don't, I finally met a master, I'm absolutely sincere."
Gao Liang persuaded me in turn, it seems that this kid has really made up his mind, and it is estimated that the next step is to kneel and kowtow.
Seeing Gao Liang so persistent, I sighed and softened my words:
"Master Xu, will you take him as an apprentice? You see that he saved you and is still taking care of you with all his might......"
Before I could finish speaking, Xu Daoquan's eyes lit up and he sat up from the bed:
"What did you say? That's what you said I wanted to take him as a disciple! ”
I looked at Xu Daoquan's appearance of blowing up hair, and I was startled:
"It's... That's what I said. What's wrong? ”
"No, you won't regret it, will you?!"
Xu Daoquan stared at me and asked again, I was confused by him:
"What's there to regret about this? No remorse! ”
"Good! I was discharged from the hospital for an apprenticeship ceremony, and I accepted both of you. ”
After Xu Laodao finished speaking, he lay down on the bed.
Things reversed so quickly that Gao Liang and I didn't react, and after looking at each other, Gao Liang jumped up happily.
I'm full of doubts, what did I say? Why did I say it?
In the morning, no matter if I asked directly, or asked around the bush, Mr. Xu was secretive and didn't answer a word. Later, in the name of sleeping and recuperating, he ignored me.
Gao Liang didn't think about it so much, at noon, he took me to have a drink, he was really happy, and his tongue was knotted when he drank:
"Brother Biao, do you know why I'm so keen on ghosts and gods?"
"Because you're a peculiar person, haha," I joked.
"Yes, I can feel ghosts, but it was actually quite annoying at first. Later my uncle ......"
Speaking of his uncle, Gao Liang's expression changed and became very sad:
"When I was a child, my parents were busy with business and didn't have time to care about me. He threw me at my grandmother's house, and I spent three or four years at my grandmother's house. My grandma and my brother-in-law are the best for me! ”
Gao Liang took a sip of wine, and his eyes turned red:
"My brother-in-law, big, handsome, white, I pestered my brother-in-law every day when I was a child. My brother-in-law never bothered and took me down to the river...... Mountain...... Afterward... I went back to school in the city. Wait until I see my brother-in-law again......"
Gao Liang wiped a handful of tears:
"At that time, when I was in junior high school, my grandmother took my brother-in-law to the city to find my mother, saying that my brother-in-law was very sick. Alas......"
Gao Liang let out a long sigh.
"Did your brother-in-law hit a ghost?"
"Isn't that much? It's a pity that I was young at the time, and I didn't know what was going on, and I couldn't explain it. Just look at this father and mother who take her brother-in-law to the hospital every day, and in the end she is not cured. Uncle finally lost ....."
Highlighted's voice began to choke:
"When my uncle finally left, he took me by the hand and told me that when I would go back to my hometown, he would take me to catch fish...... Go up the mountain to set a roe deer...... I... I..."
A man who was one meter eight big cried like this. I didn't know how to comfort him, so I could only pat him on the back and let him cry.
After crying for a while, Gao Liang wiped his tears:
"Later, my grandmother was in a bad mood every day because her uncle was gone, and she didn't suffer from that year. This year, I walked two relatives in a row. Da Biao, these two people were the people who loved me the most when I was a child. ”
As he spoke, the highlighted expression became angry:
"It wasn't until I was in college that I read Choi Dashen'er's book and started to do my own research, and finally I figured out what I could feel ghosts. Looking back, there must have been a demon haunting my uncle back then. ”
When Gao Liang slapped the table, the cups on the table were overturned, and the beer was spilled on the floor.
"! This thing is so harmful! Since Lao Tzu has this special ability, it is God who asked me to do the right thing for heaven! See you later, pick up one! Tell you Da Biao, I must learn the Tao from Xu Laodao. See one clean up one and see one clean up one! ”
Gao Liang drank until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, repeatedly emphasizing that he would see one and clean up the other, and finally vomited three times from the small shop at the entrance of the hospital before coming back.
Seeing him drunk like that, I worked a night shift for him. Fortunately, Xu Laodao's illness is much better, and he doesn't need to be taken care of very much.
At two o'clock in the night, Gao Liang lay on the bed and did not wake up. I looked at Xu Daoquan on the hospital bed, these two people were snoring back and forth like playing table tennis, this exhaling and that inhaling, that exhaling and this inhaling, and the voices came and went.
I have to go to work tomorrow, so I can't stay up anyway. I gently put the two sofas together, and was just about to lie down and rest for a while, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, and the voice was very quiet:
"Tuk, tuk, tuk......"
I didn't pay attention to it, it must be Tan Xixi, only she was afraid of disturbing the patient, the knock on the door was so small, and she pushed the door in by herself after a while.
After a while, no one came in.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk......"
The knock on the door was still ringing.......
I'm so upset, which one keeps knocking at the door without opening my eyes, thinking it's Cai Qin?
Afraid of waking the two of them, I walked softly to the door and looked out the window, the hallway was empty, nothing out of the ordinary.
Auditory hallucinations? I turned around and wanted to go back. As soon as he took a step, he suddenly heard someone shouting softly outside the door behind him:
"Zhou Dabiao ......"
I've heard this voice, it's the Hu family's sister! She's coming?
"Hey!"
I was so excited that I quickly agreed, turned around and opened the door.
As soon as he poked his head out of the ward, he felt his neck tight, and he didn't know what he was holding, and then he was dragged out of the room door with a "pout".
I subconsciously grabbed my neck with both hands, and there was something wrapped around my neck, cold and soft.
- Snake!? Basilisk?!
