Chapter 34: The Outsider
The atmosphere in the living room was serious, at least it seemed that way.
The coffee table, the dining table, the chairs, all the furniture, were removed.
As soon as I moved these things, the living room was empty, like a small square.
The old man sat in the only chair, his back resting on it, his eyes half-open, as if he were sleepy, and yawning from time to time.
Chang Longxiang and Qibao looked a little nervous, it was the first time they had encountered this kind of scene, so the whole person looked a little unnatural, it seemed that they were really using themselves as bodyguards, and the expressions on their faces were tense.
Chen Qiuyan seemed to be the most calm one, standing behind the counter with a rat in her arms, as if she was bored and couldn't find anything to do, and looked at the Chinese medicine books on the counter boredly.
In this solemn atmosphere, the passage of time seemed extremely long, and it took more than ten minutes to survive, and no gentleman stepped into the door of the pharmacy.
Even if the door was wide open, no one came in, which made me and the old man a little embarrassed.
"Are the animals sleeping?" I muttered, and looked over the door, and was even more surprised to see that it was still empty.
It shouldn't be, even if the old man has lost his legs, but the ability is still there, not to mention that there is a me...... Regardless of whether those gentlemen get close to us or not, they should give some face.
Just as I was thinking of this, I was about to have a few words with the old man, when a young man in a suit suddenly walked in through the door.
"Old Hades?" He looked at the old man curiously, and made a fist salute in a regular manner: "I am the apprentice of Shandong Lao Masheng, Ma Donghai." ”
Hearing his self-introduction, the old man raised his eyelids, glanced at him, and said, "Didn't the old horse wash his hands in a golden basin without bringing the offspring?" And how did you get in? ”
"This year, my master entered the industry again, and it happened to put me in the door wall, which is not a big deal in the industry, and it is normal for you not to know that my master accepts me." Ma Donghai said with a smile: "My master told me about the eighteen bells of the ghost skin lantern, he said that in Sichuan, in Chengdu, as long as you hear that voice, you have to come to see you, this is the rule in the descending door." ”
"When did that old thing become so polite......." The old man was stunned for a moment, looking a little surprised: "I remember that he didn't have a good relationship with me, and he would let you come to see me?" ”
"It's a private matter to have a conflict, I'll come to see you, it's the rule." Ma Donghai said with a smile: "My master often tells me to be a person who talks about the rules, and only in this way can I go far in the industry." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ma Donghai was silent for a while, looked at the old man again, and asked tentatively: "What are your lanterns lighting at night..... Is there something you want to tell us future generations? ”
"Sort of." The old man smiled: "You wait, I'll talk about it when everyone is ready." ”
Ma Donghai is a start.
After he stepped into the door of the pharmacy, after that, less than two minutes later, one stranger after another walked into the pharmacy so naturally.
They weren't stupid, they knew what they meant when they came in, so when they greeted the old man, they were quite eager.
When they saw me, they didn't ignore me, and greeted me politely for a while before they stood on the side.
As far as I personally feel, the strength of these gentlemen should not be weak, but unfortunately they are not well-known in the industry, and when I reported to my family, I had never heard of anything except the old man.
In fact, if you think about it, I can figure it out.
In our industry, there are definitely not a few people who have the ability and ability, but there are only a few gentlemen who are really famous.
The group of people who rushed to see the old man basically belonged to the kind of capable and not famous, so what they lacked was already obvious.
Fame.
If they want to become famous through themselves, first, they don't have that luck, and second, they don't have that ability, so they can only choose shortcuts, which is also a path recognized by people in the industry.
Find a famous gentleman to stand in line, close the relationship, get closer, and others will be able to arrange for their own jobs in the future, and they can also find a backer to rely on first if something happens.
It is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, this sentence is universal whether it is outside the industry or in the industry.
In this year, there are many gentlemen and few jobs.
Of the 100 jobs, 90 of them have been divided between the official and well-known gentlemen, and the remaining ten can barely be ranked in the hands of those capable and not famous, so you can imagine how fierce the competition in our industry is.
Whether you can support yourself is one thing, whether you can be famous or not, that is the real moving thing.
The more work you receive, the louder your name is, and the success rate of climbing up will naturally be much higher, not to mention that you can find a backer by the way, who doesn't want to do this kind of good thing?
Except for those gentlemen who are hard-tempered and straight-tempered, the rest of them will choose to take shortcuts.
There is no need to question this, because this is already a phenomenal matter, not only on the Shen family's side, but also in other places.
"Hello Master Shen!"
At this moment, two big bald heads suddenly walked in from outside the door, and the voice of the person who spoke was loud and louder than that of ordinary people.
The two of them also walked in a very bold posture, like Qibao, full of arrogance.
The appearance of these two big bald heads is basically the same, they should be twins, and they are also twins who have entered the Buddhist gate, and incense scars can be seen on the top of their heads.
When the people in the room saw them, many gentlemen changed their expressions, but no one said a word, and they all watched the situation quietly.
"Who?" I asked the old man in a low voice.
"The old monk's apprentice, who else can there be?" The old man smiled and beckoned to the two monks: "Isn't this the little thief bald with the old thief?" How did you have the time to come from Shaanxi? ”
Hearing the old man's words, I thought carefully for a while before I remembered that Wenren Bodhisattva seemed to have two apprentices, but he didn't often talk about it, but just mentioned it.
I remember that the two monks were both surnamed Yu and were twins, one was called Yu Guixiang and the other was Yu Panruo.
"We just came out of the mountains, and we have been practicing penance and meditation some time ago, and I heard that Master Shen has a lot of troubles here, so we came over without saying a word." The monk standing on the right smiled, that kind of innocent smile, it was exactly the same as Chang Longxiang!
"My master is dealing with something over there in Sijiu City, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come in a short time, so he asked us to bring you a good one, and said let's be diligent, if we meet someone who doesn't have a long eye to provoke you, just clean it up." The monk standing on the left smiled, unlike the other bald head, his smile was ruthless, and his eyes were much sharper, which was very different from the monk who looked silly.
Hearing this, the old man nodded, and his smile was very kind.
"Okay, the old monk has a heart, thank him on my behalf."
"No thanks, who is with whom between us."
Smiling, the monk who spoke looked at me and asked curiously, "This is your grandson?" ”
The old man snorted and said, "Yes, this is my grandson."
"It's also the current person in charge of the Shen family, I, the head of the family, is old, and I don't while occupying the pit, that's not something I can do, so ah......." The old man smiled and patted me gently: "In the future, I will hand over all the Shen family to him." ”
As soon as he heard this, the sharp-eyed monk nodded, and gave me a fist salute: "Yu Boruo." ”
"Yu returns home." Another stupid monk also hugged my fist at me and greeted me with a friendly smile.
Just as I was about to introduce myself, a young man in casual clothes and looking lazy suddenly walked in from outside the door.
The moment I saw that person, I felt my heart twitch violently, and I didn't know why, but I felt that person was very dangerous.
The man must be about the same age as me, and his body is very similar to mine, as for his appearance..... I can only say that it is on a horizontal line, although I sound a bit like boasting when I say this, but I dare to say that the man is definitely not ugly, and he looks quite handsome.
"You are?" I couldn't help but ask, looking at the man with an inquiring look in his eyes.
After the man entered the door, his eyes were not fixed, nor did he greet anyone, but he turned his head to himself, and kept glancing at the gentleman in the living room.
He glanced at the counter again, looked at Chen Qiuyan a few times, and then turned his head and hugged my fist.
"Wu Immortal Buddha."
