Chapter 5 Apprenticeship
After listening to the obscene old man's words, my mother's legs began to tremble, and then she knelt down directly for him, opening her mouth, but no sound came out, but the expectation in her eyes was known to everyone present.
The old man pulled my mother up, "I said, he and I are the master and apprentice of Destiny, if you don't ask me, I will save him, don't worry." Then he stopped talking to my mom and turned to look at me thinking. My mother took my dad's hand and exited the room, and said directly, "Old Yu, it seems that you can't escape this time, so let Xiaokang apprentice, right?" "Yes!" My dad was not good at words, but he also felt that I had been saved twice, and the old man's background was very mysterious, which should be very helpful to me in the future, so I agreed.
The old man took out a talisman from his belt, pressed it on my forehead, pinched an ordinary soul-gathering hand, drank it until it was "condensed", and the talisman disappeared on my forehead. Then he calmly walked out of the room with his hands behind his back and closed the door. When my parents saw this, they immediately gathered around him, and the old man didn't wait for my mother to speak, so he said, "You stay at home, and I'll go to the mountains to see who is so bold and dares to bully my disciple." Then he went out, and there was no old dragon clock, but a domineering aura of the superior was suddenly revealed. But I didn't even wonder if I agreed to him.
It wasn't until late evening that the old man returned, looking even more embarrassed. My parents entered the room in amazement. Because they feel that although the old man surnamed Wang is very sloppy, he is a person with great ability, but now he is so embarrassed. When my mother was thinking about what the hell was the big trouble, a hanging heart also let go. Because she felt that this old man really cared about me, and was willing to pay so much for me, he would definitely be very good to me in the future. The heart of resistance was also relaxed.
The old man came to the room, tapped my chest with his left hand, and I came to my senses. The stone in my mouth floated out uncontrollably, and then three golden rays floated out of the stone, not directly, but crookedly floated out, winding and agile, with a "one" shape, a "several" shape, and a one like a checkmark. Then they wrapped around each other and quickly separated, immediately rushing to the center of my eyebrows, heart and lower abdomen. Then it flew out quickly, but the golden light dimmed a little, and immediately entered the stone, which turned a behemous red, and I felt an eye in it look at me, and then fell silent.
I felt a little lighter, a little weak, in the current fashionable terms, a feeling of being hollowed out. Then the talisman on my forehead appeared, and it spontaneously combusted without fire, and turned into a pile of powder scattered on my forehead, and if I could see me, I would surely recognize the word "heart" formed by those powders. At the moment of scattering, the old man took out a rope, quickly wrapped me around, and then tied a knot, but in a few seconds, a layer of fine sweat came out of the old man's forehead. Then I felt like my body was rejuvenated. Then the stone floated into his hand again, and in the palm of his hand, it disappeared.
It's a slow description, but in reality, it only took a minute to get it done. When I was young, I had never seen such a magical scene, holding his hand and asking questions, automatically ignoring his obscene eyes and dirty body, he just smiled and touched my head, and said, "You will understand in the future, and you are better than an old man like me."
In the anxious waiting of my parents, less than three minutes later, I walked out of the room with the old man. Then, under the surprised eyes of my parents, I ate three bowls of rice in a row before stopping.
"Tomorrow is a good day, I want Xiaokang to apprentice tomorrow. All your questions, I will answer them tomorrow. "The old man said it very plainly, maybe my parents would not refuse.
And I'm still shocked by the scene I saw before. He didn't stop and asked my dad to lead the way to Xiaoqi's house.
I didn't say anything all night, I just remember that I usually fell asleep with my pillow, but that day I was thinking about how good it would be if I was so good in the future, but I will apprentice tomorrow, and in the future, you can find Sun Wukong to play. At the time, I didn't know where so many strange thoughts came from. Anyway, I don't know how long I tossed and turned before I fell asleep with a smile on the corner of my mouth.
The next morning, I was woken up by the sound of my parents cooking. It turns out that they think that apprenticeship is like finding a godfather. It was very solemn, so I started preparing the banquet early in the morning.
The knock sounded, and my dad saw that it was only five o'clock, muttering who knocked on the door so early, and then opened the door, but he was stunned when he saw that it was the old man Wang!
In everyone's impression, this old man has never been clean, and this time he came from Beijing to save me, and he is sloppy with a scruffy beard, but I don't want today's old man Wang to be not only clean, but also so different.
What is his image at this time? The hair has actually been combed, it is not at all the appearance of the bird's nest before, all neatly combed in the back, it is the popular big back head of the cadres in the nineties, although the hair color is a little gray, but there is a feeling of not being angry and arrogant in it. The face is also clean, the beard is not shaved at all, and there are no wrinkles on the face, but with the vicissitudes of life, he is not a young man at first glance.
As for the clothes, they were wearing a brand-new gray tunic or wool, which the countryside couldn't afford to wear at that time, and it was only worn by leaders, right? The button was neatly buttoned, straight and imposing. As for the outside, it was even more remarkable, covered with a black tweed coat. This identity is clearly those people in the capital, and it is only worn by big cadres, I didn't expect that Old Man Wang still has this dress, and my father, who has never worn any good clothes in his life, is very envious.
The only thing that doesn't match is that the old man carried a dirty cloth bag with patches, which simply destroyed the momentum of this body, and then this body should be equipped with a briefcase, my dad thought that the old man Wang looked like a middle-aged man, and this time the feeling was even more obvious. For a while, my dad was in a trance, and he felt that he couldn't figure out the real age of the old man. And I feel like he's wearing so much in the summer, sick!
The old man was also out of sight, and when he entered the house, he saw the dishes on the table, and went to the kitchen to take out half a bottle of side wine, which I remember was still a gift from someone before, and my father was reluctant to drink it. In the morning, I ignored my parents and started drinking and eating meat by myself, and I didn't use chopsticks, but fortunately, my hands were clean today, and I didn't feel sick to my stomach. He didn't speak, and my parents were a little in awe of him now, and they didn't dare to speak, so they just sat and watched him eat.
But although he was well dressed, his obscene eyes did not change, and he looked at me from time to time, which made my heart furious.
