Chapter 57: Uncle Lu
A few minutes later, Qiao Sanye parked the car outside a quaint and solemn compound.
In front of me is a courtyard made of ancient bluestone, the courtyard gate is square and thick, and it is coated with soft black oil, even in the moonlight, the layer of door paint can reflect a faint soft light.
The master walked silently to the front, first took a deep breath, and then slowly raised his hand and knocked on the courtyard door.
Pong, pong, pong......
The knocking sound from the door panel was muffled, but it felt heavy.
The voice slowly echoed in the narrow alley, and people's hearts slowly calmed down.
For a moment, a light footstep sounded in the courtyard.
When I heard this footsteps, I thought it was a young man who came to open the door, but not long after, an old voice came from behind the courtyard gate: "Who, these three watches are in the middle of the night." ”
The master smiled involuntarily: "Senior Brother Yunsheng, it's me, Du Kang. ”
With a long, light sound, the door was opened, and an emaciated old man stood on the other side of the door, silently watching us.
He looked much older than my master, his hair and eyebrows were white, and his back was slightly hunched, but his feet seemed to have a very thick strength, and he stood there like an ancient pine rooted in the bluestone ground.
The other man only opened the door a two-foot-wide gap, but did not beckon us in.
The master smiled and introduced to him: "This is Qiao Laosan, you know." This kid's name is Gai Dong, and he is my apprentice, this is Lu Shengcai, the person who stole the door, and my apprentice is young. ”
It wasn't until the master introduced us one by one to the old man on the other side of the courtyard gate that the old man quickly pulled the gap in the courtyard gate, rushed out with an arrow step, and gave the master a bear hug: "Senior Brother Du, why are you here?" ”
I could tell that Master was very wary of us before He introduced us to Him one by one.
Only for the master, the old man was not too wary from the beginning.
Then the old man turned to me again: "This child is your apprentice?" Oh, you already have apprentices. ”
As he spoke, the old man's tone was full of envy and joy.
The master said without ostentatiousness: "He is a person from the old coffin village, and he has landed the life of a child. ”
"Senior Brother Du is really lucky," the old man said with a grateful face, "I actually met such a good seedling." Yo, how dare you bring him to Jingyun Mountain, if you let Zheng Long know that you have such a good seedling in your hands, he won't be able to ......"
"Don't be afraid, Zheng Long hasn't met me in person, so he doesn't know what I look like," the master waved his hand and said, "These two boys also have to be incognito, during this time, let them be apprentices with you." ”
The old man couldn't help frowning: "Senior Brother Du, what are you going to do?" ”
Master patted me first: "This is your Uncle Lu." ”
I hurriedly clasped my hands: "Uncle Lu." ”
Uncle Lu smiled at me gently.
Master then said, "I came this time to take away the Golden Back Bone Wat of Jingyun Mountain. ”
Uncle Lu frowned and said, "What do you want that thing for?" The ghost scripture on the bone wat is not understood by anyone in the world, and even if you get that thing, it is just a burden. Senior brother, I advise you, don't be greedy for those bones. That thing is not something that we mortals can afford to withstand. ”
Master immediately smiled and raised a hand and put it on my shoulder: "I can't read it, but he can understand it." ”
Uncle Lu was stunned at first, and then his eyes widened: "Oh, by the way, he is a landing boy!" ”
He shouted the last four words in a low voice, and the eyes that stared at me almost burst the corners of his eyes.
Being looked at like this, I feel weird in my heart.
After a long time, Uncle Lu put away his stunned expression: "The Golden Back Bone Wat is the treasure of Jingyun Mountain, if you want to take them, I'm afraid it's not that simple." ”
Master nodded: "I know, this matter should indeed be considered in the long run. Senior Brother Yunsheng, I'm afraid I'm going to stay near Jingyun Mountain for a while recently, although Zheng Long doesn't recognize me, Qiao Laosan and I can't live with you all the time. During this time, I went out with the third child to run errands, and Gai Dong and Lu Shengcai entrusted it to you. ”
After a long time, Master doesn't plan to stay with me.
Uncle Lu hesitated for a while, but finally nodded: "Just at you, Senior Brother Yunsheng, I have to help you too." When are you leaving? ”
"The third child and I will find a place to hide tonight."
"In such a hurry? We haven't sat down to talk yet. ”
"I know you're not at peace here, and the longer I stay here, the more likely I am to get into trouble, so it's better to leave early. But don't worry, brother, I will come back every morning from five to half past six. ”
Why did my Master come back at this point in time?
Since it was my morning workout time, he had to come back and keep an eye on me in case I was lazy.
Uncle Lu obviously understood the truth here, and first glanced at me, then smiled helplessly and nodded at Master.
The master poked Lu Shengcai's head with his fist: "Boy, don't cause trouble when I'm away." ”
When I turned around, the master said to me again: "Xiao Dong, you have always been more measured, and you are tactful enough, if you encounter any uneven things, don't hold back, when it's time to make a move, we have to do it." However, the shot is the shot, don't do things too publicly, and collect everything in a little bit. ”
I nodded: "Don't worry, Master, no matter what I do, I will definitely clean up the crime scene." ”
Master glanced at me: "What are you talking about, it's not for you to steal chickens and touch dogs." ”
After speaking, the master arched his hand towards Uncle Lu, and then stopped greeting each other, and immediately got into the car with Qiao Sanye.
My master has always been such a person whose legs are faster than his mouth.
Uncle Lu is also not a person who likes to chat, and after a few words of greeting without embarrassment, he took me and Lu Shengcai into the courtyard, and helped us clean up a side room, so that we can have a meal tonight, and he will take us to buy things for washing every day.
After rushing for so many days, although the road was not in a hurry, it was really tiring, and as soon as Uncle Lu left, Lu Shengcai and I turned off the lights and rested.
As soon as I turned off the chandelier here, Lu Shengcai muttered to me across a bed: "There's nothing wrong with your master, it's the first time I've heard that a master let his apprentice take the initiative to cause trouble." ”
"Which ear did you hear that my master asked me to take the initiative to cause trouble?"
"Isn't it obvious enough, don't hold back when you encounter something, just do it when you need to, isn't this what makes you take the initiative to cause trouble?"
"This is to let me not be cowardly in trouble! Why did you become a cause of trouble when you got there? I know you failed the language, but your comprehension skills are too poor. But then again, Master's deliberate remarks do have a deep meaning. ”
"What does it mean?"
"This annex ...... I'm afraid it's not peaceful on weekdays, so we have to be careful. ”
"Ah, what else does it mean? Why didn't I hear that? ”
"Because you're stupid! Okay, don't break your mouth, go to bed. Don't stay up late and make your brain stupid. ”
