This is the first time I've heard that there is such a profession in the world, and there are five kinds of people who seem to be out of step with today's society.

What's more, now I'm a part of the business.

When I first heard the second master say this, I was still a little excited, but I didn't know at that time that when the second master said this to me, there was a very heavy responsibility that had quietly fallen on my shoulders.

After that, the second master and I ate meat and drank wine, and you chatted word by word.

Wine can really make people chatter, and the second master said a lot of things that night, first talking about some old news in the industry, and then talking about the family, talking about the decay of the family's door valve.

The second master said that now the entire industry has to face a series of common problems, scientific and technological progress, the old craftsmanship is no longer beautiful, the major sects are cut off, half of the century-old families are extinct, and the remaining half are mostly struggling and living a bleak life.

In fact, to sum up the words of the second master, it means that our industry has declined.

At first, he just sighed, but when it came to the second half, he asked me not to have the idea of changing the status quo, the second master said, the decline of the industry is inevitable, and the decline of the family is also inevitable, and he also said that our industry will only decline, will not disappear, because there are always a small number of people who are sticking to it, because there are always some times, the world still needs us.

I asked the second master, since the reality is already unsightly, why not change it?

The second master drank a whole large number of beers in one go, and gave a long hiccup, after which he smiled at me and said helplessly: "It's a good thing that the line is declining." It's not that we don't want to change, it's that we can't change, and if we change, it's obsession. ”

I said, "What do you mean by 'if you change is obsession'?" What kind of fallacy is this! Anyway, it's definitely wrong to sit and wait for death, and if you don't change it, you should at least do something. ”

The second master smiled: "You can say that because you haven't fallen deep enough." When you stay in the industry for a long time, see a lot, and experience a lot, you will naturally figure out a lot of things. ”

I still didn't agree with the second master's words, so I shook my head.

After that, the second master pulled me to make wine.

I am a good smoker and a good drinker, but I usually don't smoke much, and the amount of alcohol is not very good, but the second master is a natural big chimney and wine jar, he holds a cigarette in one hand and a wine glass in the other, and the smoke cloud and the coolness of the ale wine soak his throat together, making him cry out for refreshment.

Often, after he drank a big bunch of wine, I only took a few sips here.

Ten bundles of malt wine, I only drank one, and the rest was all cleaned up by the second master alone, and when the table was full of empty bottles, he sighed unfinished and said: "In the past, I asked Lao Chai how to teach his apprentices, Lao Chai said that there are too many things to teach, but in essence, it is to let you learn to endure, learn to understand, and learn to sacrifice." ”

He said these words as if he were saying them to me, and as if he was talking to himself.

I asked the second master: "Who is Lao Chai?" ”

The second master sighed for a long, long sigh: "It's a friend of mine." ”

He didn't seem to want to mention that person, and after saying this briefly, he changed the topic: "If it weren't for it, if you entered the family, you would encounter a lot of troublesome things in the future, and those things can't be solved by you alone." ”

I scratched my head: "Second master, how do I think you always have something to say today?" ”

The second master smiled: "If not, I think that you lack the kind of friend who can put your heart to heart." ”

I said, "Isn't the second master counted?" ”

The second master shook his head: "The two of us are first a master-apprentice relationship, and then friends." You need a pure friend, someone who needs to be very capable and loyal enough to be able to lend a helping hand when you are in trouble. ”

Hearing the second master say this, Boss Lu's face immediately appeared in my mind, but soon I remembered that Boss Lu was chased and beaten by his wife all over the furniture city.

In terms of loyalty, Boss Lu and I are the best brothers, the kind that can throw their heads and spill blood for each other, but if you talk about ability, Boss Lu is a skilled carpenter, he puts all his efforts into carpentry work, and has no other specialties.

After pondering for a long time, I sighed helplessly: "I still seem to be ...... There really isn't such a type of friend. ”

The second master stared into my eyes and said meaningfully, "There will be." ”

After speaking, the second master stood up and went to the counter to pay the bill.

When I left the barbecue stall with the second master, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and I couldn't go back to the ghost skewers, so the second master took me to a bar in the center of the city and drank until five o'clock in the morning.

The bartender in the bar seemed to know the second master, but when he saw the second master, he was not happy at all, the second master sat in front of the bar and drank all night, and he stood behind the bar all night, trembling to add wine to the second master.

When I walked out of the bar with the second master, Wang Lei had already driven to the door of the bar, he picked me up and went back to the ghost skewers, and the second master went directly to the airport.

I didn't sleep all night, and after Wang Lei sent me home, I adjusted a large basin of water, planning to take a comfortable bath first, and then sleep well.

But as soon as I mixed the water, before I could jump into the basin, I ran in a panic.

It's only been a month since I last saw him, but the last time I saw him, he was obviously a very short man, and it was only a long time before the board turned into long hair that covered his eyes, so much so that when he first entered the door, I almost didn't recognize him.

As soon as he entered the room, he was pacing anxiously in the living room, and I stuck my head out of the bathroom and raised my chin at him, "How did you get in?" ”

He took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and shook them in front of my eyes: "During the time that the second master left, I lived with you." ”

With that, he began to pace back and forth again, with deep anxiety on his face.

I couldn't help but ask him, "What are you doing?" ”

Then he stopped and said to me in a very uneasy tone, "If not, you are being followed." ”

With that, he paced the room with his hands behind his back.

I put on my clothes and rushed over to grab him: "Can you please stop walking around, it makes me very irritable." What the hell is going on, someone is following me? ”

Yu Liyan frowned: "Well, that guy's origin is unknown, and it is very suspicious." You must know that there is also a formation in our old alley, and ordinary people will inevitably lose their way when they come in, but that guy can follow him all the way to the depths of the alley. Didn't you and Wang Lei find him? ”

I said, "When Wang Lei and I came back, I didn't notice that someone was following behind." But then again, who is idle and has nothing to follow me, I don't have any enemies in society. ”

When I said the word "enemy", I immediately thought of Zhang Jianbao and Liu Xiaohui, but when I looked back, it was not right, I still knew how many catties and taels these two people had, and if the two of them followed me, I would have found out early in the morning.

Just thinking about this, I heard Yu Liyan say: "That guy's name is Li Huaishan, don't look at his age, but he is very ghostly, I asked him which sect he is from, guess what he said, he said, he is the leader of that part of the furniture city, isn't this nonsense!" ”

Li Huaishan, isn't he the "second dog brother" in Liu Xiaohui's mouth, how is he?

I waved my hand and interrupted him: "He didn't lie. ”

Yu Liyan didn't understand what I meant: "Huh? What do you mean? ”

I said, "This Li Huaishan is a bastard in the area of Furniture City, and the night before I came to my house, he also took someone to smash the door of my house." ”

Yu Liyan: "Did he have any holiday with you, why did he smash the door of your house?" ”

"He doesn't have much to do with me," I sighed helplessly, "but the two little brothers under his command don't deal with me very well, and I have been working in the furniture city for more than a year, and I have been fighting with those two men almost every day." ”

Qi Liyan nodded first, and then shook his head: "No, this is not right." If he was just an ordinary gangster, why did he have telekinesis? Besides, the arrangement they made in the alley is not so easy to break, and from the monitoring, when Li Huaishan came in with you, there was almost no resistance. ”

I asked, "What's in the alley?" ”

Qi Liyan: "It's just a yin and yang array that is not big or small, it's not exquisite, but for most people who cultivate the word gate, it will take a while to break it." But that Li Huaishan didn't need to break the formation at all, and came in directly. ”

At the mention of the spell, I was blinded: "I don't understand what you're talking about. So what, where is Li Huaishan now? ”

Qi Liyan: "I threw him on the side of the torture hall, and I originally planned to report this matter to the seventh master and let him have an idea." However, since the other party is here to find you, I think that the two of you may know each other, so I will come to you first. ”

"If you tell Seventh Master about this, what do you think he will do?" I asked Yu Liyan.

Yu Liyan pondered for a moment before responding to me: "The Seventh Master will definitely find a way to pry his mouth open and figure out which sect he is." ”

I said, "If Li Huaishan doesn't belong to any sect, he is a gangster, what will the Seventh Master do with him?" ”

Qi Liyan: "It's unlikely, he has a mind in him, unless...... Unless these telekinesis are innate. ”

"I'm just saying in case, in case he's just an ordinary gangster, what will the Seventh Master do with him?"

At this time, Yu Liyan looked a little embarrassed: "If he is not a person in the industry, then it will be troublesome, I was still in front of him just now...... I've done it. ”

I patted Li Yan on the shoulder: "Take me to see what Li Huaishan is doing." If he is indeed a person in the industry, let's hand him over to the Seventh Master again. ”

Yu Liyan: "What if he is not a person in the trade?" ”

I smiled, "That's even better, I deal with these thugs a lot and know how to deal with them." ”
