Chapter 22: The Old Man Wants to Accept Disciples

Because the phenomenon of male superiority and female inferiority is very serious in our northeast, generally the guests come to the house, and the men eat at the table, and the women serve on the side.

Not to mention a kid like me, who only stares at the delicious taste.

However, fortunately, my mother felt sorry for me and had already prepared a piece of ribs for me when cooking, otherwise I would have to die of hunger.

After eating this meal for nearly an hour, my dad and the two of them were finally full, put off their chopsticks, and sat cross-legged on the kang to drink tea and chatter.

At this time, I jumped to the ground with a cheer, picked up my chopsticks, picked out my favorite dishes, devoured them, and for a while, I was very happy to eat.

My mother was afraid that I would choke, so she quickly poured me a cup of tea and asked me to take a sip and eat slowly.

Seeing the sweetness of my food, my mother had a kind smile on her face, and from time to time she picked up chopsticks and put vegetables in my bowl.

"Child, you can pack up and collect the clothes for Shuangxi in a while, by the way, take the schoolbag too, you can't leave behind in your studies, let him go with Master Jiang after eating." My dad took a sip of tea, took a few puffs of dry tobacco, and squinted at my mom.

When my mother heard this, her eyes turned red when she put down her chopsticks, and she begged my father: "Guohua, please don't let Shuangxi go through?" I can't bear our son. ”

"Alas, the mother's family is verbose, and it is also for his good to let Shuangxi go with Master Jiang, don't you know what our son's body looks like, what if something happens if he stays at home?" My dad didn't have the anger to teach my mom a lesson.

My mother suddenly hugged me in her arms, hugged me tightly, and cried at my father: "Double happiness, I finally pulled so big, I can't help it!" ”

"You, you ruined mother wants to be angry with me, is Shuangxi's life important, or do you think he is important."

My dad drank a little wine, and his temper was much bigger than usual, so he actually blushed and roared, jumped from the kang to the ground, picked up his shoes and was about to come over to pick my mother.

"Guohua stop!" The old man grabbed my father, dragged him by the foot, and shouted: "You are going to rebel, you can bear to beat such a good daughter-in-law as Xiulian, are you still human?" ”

My dad was scolded by the old man, like a basin of cold water poured from his head to his feet, and he sobered up in an instant, looked at my mother with an embarrassed face, and smiled and made amends.

The old man glared at my dad fiercely, turned around and persuaded my mother: "Xiulian, you cry a lot, Shuangxi is going with me to learn skills, you should be happy, not to mention that I didn't say that I won't let him come back if I take Shuangxi away, you just treat him as if he goes to my place to kiss and visit the door." Besides, the back mountain is less than ten miles away from the village, and I ask Shuangxi to come back to see you every once in a while, if you want to be happy, you can come and watch him. ”

When my mother heard the old man's words, her body was stunned, and she stopped crying at that time, and instantly reacted too hard, yes, my son didn't give it away, what am I anxious about?

Even if Shuangxi becomes Master Jiang's apprentice, he is still my son, at most, he doesn't live at home often, what do I have to be sad about.

Thinking of this, my mother burst into tears and smiled, let go of me, and went to pack my luggage with a happy face.

I saw that the three of them had been arguing for a long time, and I understood the general situation of the matter, this old man obviously wanted to accept me as an apprentice.

But do you have my consent? I am only 10 years old, and my ideal is to study hard, become a glorious proletarian fighter when I grow up, follow in the footsteps of the great Chairman Mao, and contribute to the construction of the motherland.

My dream is not to go to the Taoist temple to be a stinky Taoist priest, no, to be a stinky god.

"Old man, I don't want to be a Taoist priest, you die of this heart, just talk about yourself, you are sixty years old and single, not even a daughter-in-law, how miserable, don't pull me, I won't go with you to the mountains to suffer." I was in a hurry, and I said this sentence smoothly.

However, when I finished speaking, I regretted it and scolded myself for being ungrateful.

You know, in order to save me last night, the old man killed Zhou Zhuangyuan, and lost a lot of yin virtues innocently, resulting in a great reduction in yang longevity.

When I spoke to my savior like this, he must have been heartbroken.

Sure enough, as soon as my dad heard my words, he suddenly jumped like thunder, stood up and pointed at me and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, I think you are purely underbeaten, you ran away, if it wasn't for Master Jiang to save you, you would have survived until now, are you looking for a fight when you talk to your master like this?" Don't say that you will be accepted as an apprentice, that is, you will be asked to be a son in the past, and you will be sent to the end of your old age, and you can't say that you are not half, understand no! ”

"Dad, I was wrong." I was stunned by my father's scolding, and quickly bowed my head and apologized to the old man.

The old man smiled, glanced at me, took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Stinky boy, don't care if I marry a daughter-in-law or not, anyway, I have accepted your apprentice, not to mention that you are born with a psychic physique, destined to be haunted by a hundred ghosts, and you can't be a Taoist priest if you don't want to, let's just say that your soul ran to Huangquan Road for no reason this time, it was all unclean things, which caused the soul to be alarmed and scared out of the body, and the little female ghost in the Xiaowanzi River... ”

"Stop." Before the old man could finish speaking, I hurriedly interrupted him and asked, "At that time in Xiaowanzi, didn't you tell us that there were big fish under the water?" How can this become a little female ghost again? ”

"Humph! As for you little boys, if I say there's a ghost under the water, you don't have to be scared to pee your pants, I'm doing this for your own good. The old man rolled his eyes and asked me again: "Shuangxi, you are a psychic physique, presumably in Xiaowanzi, you can see that little female ghost, right?" ”

I straightened my chest and said triumphantly: "I didn't just see it, I also hit it with a stone, whoever let it grab the legs of the second egg and not let go, it should be beaten." ”

"Humph! You kid is quite beautiful, I think this is a good thing, smashing ghosts with rocks is a great disrespect to ghosts and gods, you can do it, now that I am by your side, the little female ghost does not dare to do anything to you, but this hatred must be remembered, and when I leave, it will find you sooner or later. The old man snorted coldly.

was frightened by his alarmist words, even bluffing, I was really shocked, the ugliness and terrifying appearance of the little female ghost, I still remember it vividly.

As if I was afraid that the little female ghost would come to the door, I immediately shouted: "Master save me, can't I worship you as a teacher?" After speaking, he will kneel and kowtow to the old man.

"Yo, stop. This kneeling ceremony can't be so casual, worship into our immortal road, there is an authentic worship ceremony, and it is not too late to return to the Taoist temple. The old man helped me up, and the smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, and there was a hint of a conspiracy succeeding.

I had to stand up, to be honest, I don't have any sexual interest in being a Taoist priest and Ben, not to mention the hard work, there is no freedom.

When I went to the Houshan Taoist Temple, where there were barren mountains and mountains, there was no village and no store, and I basically said goodbye to the days of happy play with the two eggs of the iron pillar.

"Alas, that's it, Iron Pillar Erdan, my good buddy, brother, I'm going to retreat and practice in the mountains, goodbye, my dream of a proletarian warrior, goodbye, the sun that shines in my heart Chairman Mao, I'm sorry for your old man, I didn't become a glorious Eighth Route Army soldier and swore to follow in your footsteps." I thought to myself, dejected.

In this way, after eating at noon that day, I put on my schoolbag, took a few changes of clothes, and left my house with the old man and went to the Houshan Taoist Temple.

I will be greeted by an unknown, mysterious demon world, and at the same time, a vast monastic door has finally opened to me.
