It can be seen that this person has a very good relationship with my master, and the moment he saw my master, both of his eyes were shining. m.

The exterior of the teahouse feels clean and bright, but the inside of the teahouse is very dark, not because the lighting is not good, but because the materials used for decoration are gray and dark tones, and I don't know if the owner of this shop has a problem with aesthetics, he can't wait to make the whole store black, and even the walls are covered with dark wood boards.

In addition, the lights in the store were dim, and I felt uncomfortable walking in the corridor that connected to the door.

This feeling is very similar to when I was in Jingyun Mountain.

It wasn't until I walked through the corridor and saw the window illuminated by the sun that the depression in my heart was finally released.

The foreigner sitting by the window stood up abruptly and opened his arms at my master.

Master stepped forward and gave him a bear hug, and then said teasingly, "The place you chose really fits your style." ”

The other party smiled very heartily: "This time I at least sat by the window, if I put it aside, I will find the most difficult place to see the light." ”

When he spoke, I carefully observed his mouth shape, and it was in English, but it became Chinese in my ears.

The question is Chinese just Chinese, why did this sound reach my ears with a smell that couldn't be stronger?

This is the first time I've heard a foreigner speak in person, but I have to say that the experience was not particularly good.

At this time, Master turned around and introduced me: "Old Tang, full name Tom Williams, the first mate of the Iron Lady, when I was at sea before, he took care of me a lot. This is my apprentice, Gai Dong, his cultivation is higher than mine, the city is deeper than me, and his temperament is gentler than mine, in two years, I plan to let him go to sea with you. ”

Lao Tang seemed to deliberately ignore the last half of Master's words, and said to me with a smile: "My name, in your country, is almost as common as patriotism and love for the army. ”

This time he deliberately spoke in Chinese, and I think this accent is much more normal.

I'm not saying that Beijing films are awkward, I just think that Beijing films are really not harmonious on such a face.

Lao Tang is the kind of person who is often exposed to the sun at first glance, his old face has left a lot of red sunspots, as well as the skin pigment condensed by long-term exposure to the sun, plus he is burly, and his body exudes a gentleness mixed with a trace of wildness, no matter how you look at it, he looks like an old cowboy who shuttles around the farm all year round.

Imagine an old cowboy throwing a rope at the flock and shouting in authentic Beijing films: "Go you!" What that should be like?

I smiled and said to Lao Tang, "You can speak English, I can understand it." ”

Lao Tang gave me a thumbs up: "Your accent is more authentic than mine, if I hadn't known that you were Lao Du's apprentice earlier, I would have thought you were an old beauty." ”

I smiled: "I speak Chinese." ”

Hearing me say this, Lao Tang was stunned for a moment.

I spoke again: "It's really Chinese." ”

This time Lao Tang deliberately stared at my mouth shape, and when he was sure that what I said was indeed Chinese, the surprise on his face was suddenly magnified to the extreme.

After a long time, Lao Tang came back to his senses a little, and while he sat down behind the coffee table, he said to my master, "You apprentice, it's quite special. ”

The master beckoned everyone to sit down, and when everyone was seated, he leaned over and said to Lao Tang, "Can my apprentice get on your boat, give me a happy word." ”

Lao Tang pretended to be helpless: "I don't count if I say this, you have to ask the captain." ”

The master smiled: "Okay, don't fool me, the successive captains on the Iron Lady are just a helmsman, and the real owner of that ship is you." ”

Lao Tang probably felt that he couldn't fool my master, so he scratched his head a little irritably, and then sighed and said: "The most lacking thing on the ship now is the combat personnel, and we are indeed willing to ask for people in your trade, anyway, with my understanding of your trade, there is no one who has mixed in there who cannot fight." But the question is ......"

In the middle of speaking, Lao Tang also leaned over to my master's side and lowered his voice: "The problem is, I don't want your apprentice to get on the boat. As far as we are concerned, I don't want anything to happen to anyone close to you. ”

Master couldn't help frowning: "What, listen to what you mean, the situation at sea is different from before?" ”

"It's very different," Lao Tang sighed: "Since Boss Wu disappeared, the demons and monsters on the sea seem to have lost their suppression, and all of them have jumped out to make trouble, from ninety-six to the present, the sea market has broken more than forty boats, and the people on each boat are alive and dead." ”

"So serious?"

"What's more, there are rumors in the sea market now, saying that those things that are causing trouble on the sea now are some ancient gods who were sealed thousands of years ago, and with the ability of mortals, they can't be helpless at all."

When I first heard the words "ancient gods", my heart suddenly tightened.

It reminded me of the humming sound I heard in the treasure house of Jingyun Mountain, and the incomparably clear murmur: "I am ...... in the deep sea"

I heard the Master say, "Do you know why you can't do those things?" ”

Lao Tang shook his head: "Why?" ”

As he spoke, he picked up his teacup and poured a large sip of tea into his mouth.

Master grinned: "Because I didn't go to sea." ”

Hearing what the master said, Lao Tang almost squirted out most of the tea in his mouth: "Why are you getting older and less ashamed, I found out." ”

The master smiled at first, and then he didn't intend to continue talking nonsense, and asked directly: "Do you want my apprentice to get on the boat, give me a happy sentence!" ”

Now Lao Tang was embarrassed: "If his cultivation is really higher than yours, such a strong combat power, of course I want it, but the sea is really too dangerous these days, I really don't want such a child to take risks." Otherwise, I've got a notebook here. ”

As he spoke, Lao Tang took out a very thick notebook from the leather bag he was carrying and handed it to me.

I took the notebook with both hands, and listened to Lao Tang continue: "You take a good look at this notebook, this time next year, I will still come to the magic capital, if at that time, you still plan to go to sea with me, come to the teahouse to find me." Aren't you just starting college, and you just took this year to settle your academic affairs. ”

I looked at the notebook in my hand and asked Lao Tang, "What is this?" ”

Old Tang lowered his voice again and said in a mysterious tone, "Whispers in the dark." ”
