As soon as I heard him mention the evil corpses and ghosts, I immediately thought of the things I saw in Ma Butun, and my heart couldn't help but tighten.

As if he knew what was going on in my mind, he patted me on the shoulder and said to me comfortingly, "You don't see much now, and you're a little nervous when you encounter evil spirits." When you see more of them later, you won't feel them anymore. In addition, the truth in your bones has not yet been stimulated, wait until the truth replaces the false...... Well. ”

I kept staring at him until he could say what was going on, but he forcibly interrupted me with an "um", which made me lose my temper at all.

After a long time, I still couldn't hold back, and said the doubt in my heart: "What does the old man do, why do you have to deal with evil people all the time?" And what kind of thing is the truth you are talking about? ”

He only answered the first question, but it was similar to not answering: "Our old family has a lot of industries, and the winter side is mainly responsible for the antique business." ”

Do you have to deal with evil people a lot when you do the antique business? But there are more people buying and selling antiques, and I haven't heard of anyone who has run into ghosts because of selling antiques, right?

At this time, I remembered what Xiaohui had said to me: "It's best not to touch antiquities of unknown origin casually, because there may be dirty things attached to them." ”

I was thinking about this when I patted me again, and when I came back to look at him, he gave me a big smile: "I trained well today." What do you want to eat at night? I invite you! ”

Without waiting for me to reply, Tong Dong said again: "There is a beef restaurant in Shibei District that is doing well, let's go there." Third, help me book a single room. ”

The third master was nearby, and when he heard Yu Dong's words, he immediately rolled his eyes: "How do I feel, I have become a miscellaneous person." ”

But complaining is complaining, he still took out his mobile phone and called to book a private room.

When I was almost recovered, I pushed out two bicycles from the repair workshop, saying that I was going to ride to Shibei District.

The location of the garage in the west of the city, it is at least 30 kilometers away from Shibei District, not to mention that I still don't know where the beef restaurant in Dong Dong's mouth is located in Shibei District.

After a whole day of tossing and running for a whole ten kilometers, although the medicine given to me by Yu Dong did have a miraculous effect, after taking it, my physical strength has almost recovered. But even so, I still felt very tired in my heart, and I didn't want to toss anymore.

They didn't care if I liked it or not, and forcibly helped me into the car, and then he stepped into the car and left the garage like a gust of wind.

Seriously, I wanted to stop at the time, but so far, I haven't figured out the reason for my dad and my mom's disappearance, and I can only continue to toss me until I achieve my goal.

I got on my bicycle and went with him to the West Outer Ring Road, a long way to go, and it seemed that he was planning to let me trek a little longer to satisfy some special need in his heart.

But I didn't rush at me as I imagined, but deliberately slowed down.

I remember very well that it was a tailwind, and it took me almost no effort to get the car moving at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.

He slowed down a little and walked side by side with me.

I looked at his "mount" and his size, and I couldn't help but be happy, I guess his little car was specially made, otherwise, how could he afford his bear-like body.

At this time, I suddenly looked at me, I thought he knew what I was thinking again, and I was startled, and even the car trembled.

He looked at my actions and couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong with you?" ”

I hurriedly accompanied a smiley face: "It's okay." ”

Tong Dong didn't delve into it, and then changed the subject: "If not, after this day's training, do you feel anything?" ”

"Thoughts?" I shook my head: "I don't feel anything, I just feel tired." ”

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "Then you don't think that after this day, you are stronger than before?" Don't you feel that your physical strength is better than before? ”

After he reminded me of this, I remembered that this afternoon, whether I was dragging stones or throwing stone bells, I was much more relaxed than in the morning. In the past, I had never tried a 10km run, but I didn't expect to be able to stick to it today.

He never seemed to need my answer, and this time he also said to himself: "With those precious medicinal materials for you, you will feel reborn every day in the following days." But have you ever thought about it, if you don't have the support of these drugs, no matter how hard you train, you can't have such an entry. ”

I didn't understand why he was saying this, I just looked at him dumbfounded.

Then he said to me, "Cultivating this thing is a step-by-step principle, and relying on a lot of medicine to help you run like this is not the right way." Now, I can use medicine to enhance your physique, but I can't rely on medicine to improve your cultivation, do you understand? ”

Of course I ...... I didn't understand, but I still pretended to understand in a daze, and nodded at the stranger.

I didn't expect him to see through me at once, he reached out and poked me in the head, and said with a displeased face: "If you don't understand, you don't understand, pretend to understand someone!" ”

The strength of his hand was so great that this finger poked me in the head, and I gasped in pain.

I rubbed my forehead and asked Yu Dong: "Second master, how do I think, you seem to know what I am thinking, do you know how to read minds?" ”

"I don't have that skills." He sighed and said, "The reason why I know what you think in your heart is because I have experienced everything you are going through now. Speaking of which, when I first entered the family, like you, I was also ignorant, but it was the old lady who taught me little by little, so that I slowly stepped into this industry. Alas, in a blink of an eye, it has been almost seventy years since I stepped into the door of my family. ”

I said, "Second master, you didn't go back to your house until you became an adult?" ”

Tong Dong smiled: "When I was not born, the head of our old family was also a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and later the old Tai Sui of the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, and the family was affected, and most of the clansmen were separated. If not. ”

I opened my eyes wide, and it was kind of a response to the waiting.

He looked at me, his eyes and tone became gentle: "You came back too late, and you don't have deep feelings for the family. But you have to remember that no matter what happens in the future, you can't do anything that is unfavorable to the family, after all, this is your home, no matter what, the old family's family is your root. ”

The topic seemed to suddenly become a little heavy, and I was a little uncomfortable: "Why did you suddenly talk about this?" ”

After I said this, I seemed to be awakened, and I also said, "Yes, why did you suddenly talk about this?" Where did I just go? ”

I said, "You just said that it took the old lady most of his life to put the broken family back together. ”

Dong: "No, that's not what I'm talking about. Oh, by the way, the most important thing to practice is to pay attention to the principle of gradual progress, you can't be too ambitious, and you can't do something without a bottom line in order to improve your cultivation. In fact, it's not just about practicing, no matter what you do in the future, you can't suffer from gains and losses, don't be aggressive, don't be obsessed. ”

I thought about it for a moment and said, "You mean, just put your mind at ease?" ”

"Calm down?" Tong Dong shook his head: "I'm not talking about mentality, it's the bottom line." ”

Although I still didn't quite understand why he told me this, I still nodded: "I know, don't be radical, don't be obsessed." ”

The second master reminded me: "The most important thing is not to suffer from gains and losses. If one day, you can do something regardless of the gains and losses, then you are really mature. ”

I think the second master's words are still very reasonable, but it is really difficult to do it regardless of gains and losses.

After that, the second master fell into a long silence, just riding with his head bored, during which I asked him how to deal with the affairs of Xiaohui's second uncle's family, and he did not answer me.

When we arrived at the beef restaurant, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon, the third master booked a private room early in the morning, and when the second master took me in, the owner of the store came up very enthusiastically to say hello, and I could see from the tone of his voice that he and the second master should be old acquaintances.

Since that afternoon, in my heart, the name "Dong" has been replaced by "Second Master", and from that day on, I feel not only fear and curiosity about Second Master, but also an inexplicable respect.

I don't know why I respect him, maybe something about him infected me that afternoon, maybe it was just because of his words that had a subtle effect on me.

"Don't be aggressive, don't be obsessed." , I still remember these six words, but ten years later, these six words have become "no obsession, no nostalgia", I can do not obsession, but I can't do not be nostalgic.

That night, I had a delicious meal in the beef restaurant, although the second master was huge, but the amount of food was far less exaggerated than mine, after he was full, he kept sandwiching meat for me, while chattering to me: "In the future, you should eat more beef and fish, especially deep-sea fish, that thing is very good for you." You can also eat a little more chicken breast, drink more milk, eat more eggs, and supplement protein. ”

At first, I listened to him say a few words, but he was too wordy, and then I simply blocked all his words.

But he didn't care if I ignored him or not, he just talked to himself.

Seeing me gobbling up, he kept smiling on his face, and finally laughed out loud, I ignored him and continued to eat my meal.

After eating, I returned home with the second master, and the seventh master had already helped me clean up the room and prepared a new pillowcase and quilt cover for me.

This room is about the same size as the one I rented, it is also four or five square meters, except for a bed, only a small cabinet for clothes is placed against the wall.

When the second master pushed me into the house, the seventh master had just made the bed, he beat his old waist, let out a long breath towards me, and said to the second master: "Why is this room so small?" Not to mention sleeping here, just by making his bed here, my heart was panicked. ”

"I don't like this kind of room," the second master put his elbow on the door beam, and said to the seventh master with a smile: "This child is insecure. ”
