Chapter 19: Deliberately making things difficult

"Slow down, slow down" I shouted at Xia Wanting who was pulling my arm, and at this time the students who passed by me couldn't help but look at me, they looked at me with their arms stretched out and talking into the air.

"This brother seems to be from Huang Tao's dormitory, what is his nickname left-behind child, is he not very good in his brain" classmate A looked at my distant back and said to classmate B next to him.

"Don't talk nonsense, the four people in their dormitory are not something that the two of us can provoke, especially that Huang Tao, who has money" Classmate B looked around and muttered to classmate A, in fact, he also agreed with what classmate A just said.

"Are you going to let me run like this?" I shook off the hand of the female ghost Xia Wanting and stopped, bent over and supported my knees with my hands, panting, the sweat on my head was dripping down, this is also caused by the weakness of the body, I used to run two kilometers in Gong High School and I would not feel tired, but now I .......

"Then you can take a taxi and go," Xia Wanting turned to me and said.

"Well, let me rest first, it's a bit of a fork," I said and sat down on the side of the road.

After a break of about ten minutes, I stood up and stopped a taxi and drove to No. 88 Hutong on Shanshang Street, I sat in the back seat and looked back at the back window and did not find Xia Wanting's figure, when I turned around, Xia Wanting sat next to me and smiled at me, I was scared all over, in fact, I was not too afraid of her in my heart, but her sudden appearance made me a little unbearable.

From the school to Hutong No. 88 on Shanshang Street is ten minutes away without traffic jams, I gave a taxi ten yuan to get off the bus and walk to the inside of Hutong No. 88, Hutong No. 88 is as deserted as when I came yesterday, there are almost no customers, and the shops on both sides seem a little lifeless.

When I walked into the hall, the old Jiang squinted at the computer screen with a cigarette in his mouth, his small eyes were staring at the computer screen, his right hand kept clicking the mouse, "You sit down first, I'll be done soon" Jiang Lao didn't look at me when he said this, and after listening to Jiang Lao's words, I sat down on the chair opposite him and waited for him quietly.

"Why are you kid again" When I came in just now, Jiang Lao knew that someone was coming, but he didn't know that the person who came was me, and when he saw me, he said to me with an impatient attitude.

"Yes, I'm bothering you again," I said to Jiang Lao with an embarrassed face.

"You kid should go back and forth, I've already told you, I can't help you with your business" Jiang Lao still repeated to me what he said yesterday.

"Uncle, you can help him" At this time, the female ghost Xia Wanting was helping me to intercede outside the door, which made Jiang Lao feel a little surprised.

"What's the situation, can anyone tell me" Jiang Lao glanced at me, and then at the female ghost Xia Wanting asked incomprehensibly.

"I don't know how to tell you this, but I know you must have a way to help me," I asked, looking directly at Jiang Lao.

"You ......" Jiang Lao didn't reply to my words, but asked the female ghost Xia Wanting outside the door, this one you word represents a deep meaning, he means to ask Xia Wanting Do you plan to let this kid go?

"I have to blame my mother for this matter, since things have gone wrong, I don't want to be wrong again, I hope Jiang Lao can help him, I want him to live" The female ghost Xia Wanting bowed to Jiang Lao and said.

"If you want to live, there is only one way to solve this matter" Jiang Lao looked at me and said, hearing what Jiang Lao said, I felt that I had hope for life again.

"What's the way," Xia Wanting and I asked in unison.

"That is, come under my door and be my apprentice," Jiang Lao said to me with a frown.

"This ......" After listening to Jiang Lao's words, I felt a little embarrassed.

"I haven't considered whether to accept you or not, your kid still has a reluctant look, then you should leave as soon as possible, I have to go out to do errands in a while, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you" Jiang Lao said to me angrily with a face, I felt ashamed after listening to Jiang Lao's words, and the words were indeed as Jiang Lao said, people didn't plan to accept me as an apprentice, but I showed a reluctant look.

"Elder Jiang, then you can take me as an apprentice," I said to Elder Jiang with a sincere face.

"It's not impossible to accept you as an apprentice, the apprenticeship fee is 80,000, and you can't lose a penny!" Jiang Lao said to me in a firm tone.

"What, the apprentice is eighty thousand, I am a poor student, where can I give you so much money, aren't you embarrassed for me!" I pulled a face and said to Jiang Lao.

"Since you can't take it out, please go out and turn left thank you" Jiang Lao pointed to the door of the hall and said impatiently to me, Jiang Lao He didn't want to take me as an apprentice at all, but he was afraid that I would not leave, so he asked me for this 80,000 yuan to make things difficult for me, and I also understood what Jiang Lao meant.

"Old Jiang, I only have eight thousand in my hand now, can I give it to you when I have money in the future?" I took out the bank card in my pocket and the cash in my pocket and discussed with Jiang Lao.

"I'm afraid this won't work, you better hurry up, I don't want to be here with you endless ink" Jiang Lao ignored me after saying this, and continued to fight the landlord. I turned around and shook my head helplessly at the door Xia Wanting, Xia Wanting stood at the door and shook her head at me, now I have no choice at all.

"Why are you two waiting for you two to walk here" About half an hour later, Jiang Lao gave me and Xia Wanting an eviction order.

"I'm sorry Jiang Lao, I'm bothering you today" After I said these words to Jiang Lao, I got up from my chair in frustration and walked out the door.

"Let's go," I walked to the door and said to Xia Wanting, but Xia Wanting stood there and didn't want to leave.

"We can't go, if we go, you won't have any hope at all" Xia Wanting looked at Jiang Lao and said to me, Xia Wanting was a little unwilling.

"It's interesting, isn't it right with your mind if this kid dies! Why are you still pleading for him," Jiang Lao got up from his chair and said to Xia Wanting.

"I don't want him to die, I hope you can save him, if there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you even if I am a cow and a horse" Xia Wanting pleaded bitterly to Jiang Lao.

"Forget it, let's stop begging him, he won't help us, I can see that he is quite ruthless" I pulled Xia Wanting's arm and said, but Xia Wanting stood there and refused to leave.

"Stinky boy, don't talk nonsense, I, Jiang Jie, am a loving and righteous person" Jiang Lao said to me with an angry face, what I said just now made him a little unheard.

"Jiang Lao, since you are affectionate and righteous, then you can help him, he is still young, I don't want her to lose her life because of me" Xia Wanting begged Jiang Lao again.

"Okay, then I'll accept this kid for your sake today" In desperation, Jiang Lao had no choice but to agree to Xia Wanting's request, Jiang Lao could agree to accept me as an apprentice because of Xia Wanting's affection and righteousness, otherwise, he would not bother to take care of me.

"Why are you standing stupidly? Thank you Jiang Lao yet," Xia Wanting said as she turned me around with her arm.

"Thank you, Elder Jiang," I was a little reluctant when I said this to Elder Jiang.

"Don't stand at the door, let's come in and talk" Jiang Lao beckoned me into the house, and I walked into the hall again and sat on the chair opposite Jiang Lao.

"Since you want to worship me as a teacher, then I will tell you the rules of apprenticeship today, if you think it is feasible, you will worship, if you think it is not feasible, you will leave, we both can't force this matter of apprenticeship" After Jiang Lao said this, he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"Then you talk about it, what are the rules for apprenticeship" I looked at Jiang Lao and asked, in fact, I refused to worship Jiang Lao as a teacher in my heart, after all, I am a college student to join the feudal superstition team and spread the words are not very good, but I have no way now, if I don't worship Jiang Lao as a teacher, my little life will not be guaranteed, although I am tired of living, but there is a saying that it is better to die than to live, I want to live.

"As the so-called state has national laws, the family has family rules, and our Taoism also has our Taoist rules, the first point is to respect the teacher, if you worship under my door, then you must obey what I say, without violating morality and ethics, I will do what you ask you to do. The second point is to punish the evil and promote the good, to help those who are in difficulty, and to severely punish those who have done evil. The third point is to apply what you have learned, to use the skills you have learned to help those who are in need, if you dare to use the skills you have learned to do bad things, the consequences will be a bit unimaginable" Jiang Lao said to me cautiously, and when he said the last sentence, I could feel an invisible pressure pressing on me.

"Is that all? Anything else? I continued to ask Jiang Lao, I think I am still a person of noble character, respecting teachers is a Chinese virtue, I have never disrespected my teachers from primary school to university, Jiang Lao said that punishing evil and promoting good and applying what I have learned is no problem for me, I can do it.

"Then there are some small rules, and those don't matter, you just need to remember these three rules," Jiang Lao instructed me.

"I can do all of this, so when will you take me as an apprentice," I nodded and asked Jiang Lao.

"You give me your name and birthday first" Jiang Lao pushed the brush and yellow rune paper on the table in front of me and said, looking at the brush and yellow paper in front of me, I have some scruples in my heart, last time it was because I wrote my name and birthday to Mr. Bai Shi that I was matched with a secret marriage, I don't know if this Jiang Lao will be with me this time, I am afraid of the well rope for ten years, and the heart of defense is indispensable.

"Don't worry, I won't fix you, I just want to calculate whether the lives of the two of us are compatible" Jiang Lao saw my thoughts.
