At that time, I only remembered the master's words in my heart, and I didn't care about anyone at all, I didn't even know how many times I hit the middle-aged man, and when I came back to my senses, the middle-aged man's whole face was already swollen, I exhaled slowly, and walked towards the master.

The master seemed to be quite satisfied, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's it, if someone bullies you, you will return it three times, don't forget that the reason why the ghost craftsman is called a ghost craftsman is not because of this craft, but more because of the ghost craftsman's way of doing things." ”

As he spoke, he got up slowly, patted me heavily on the shoulder, then turned around and walked towards the middle-aged man, and said lightly, "Are you convinced?" ”

What I didn't expect was that the middle-aged man actually said to the master respectfully: "Serve!" ”

"The old lady is not convinced!" The woman came over, first stared at me viciously, then pushed her man, and scolded: "You useless Li Keyong, my mother is blind to marry you in this life, you look at being beaten like this by a high school student, and you don't dare to fight back." (Rick used the word "swearing.") ）

As soon as these words came out, the master's face sank, and the middle-aged man was so frightened that he raised his hand and slapped it in the face of his daughter-in-law, and said sharply: "Get out, I don't have a daughter-in-law like you!" ”

Looking at all this, I feel inexplicable, however, I can roughly guess that this middle-aged man should know the master, otherwise, he would definitely not behave like this.

The woman seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by a look from the middle-aged man, and she didn't dare to speak again when she stood on the side, but the master glanced at the woman with deep meaning, and said lightly: "Do you still have an opinion?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Before the woman could speak, the middle-aged man spoke first.

"Huh!" The master smiled and said lightly: "It's okay, the old man is more democratic, if you have an opinion, you can say it, there is no need to hold it in your heart, if you hold it for a long time, it is easy to get sick." ”

The middle-aged man was about to cry, and shook his head vigorously, "Don't dare, Master Liu's lesson is that this time we are wrong, we shouldn't attack the high apprentice, and I hope that Master Liu Haihan will give a heavy gift afterwards." ”

"There's no need to give gifts!" The master stopped, glanced at me, and continued: "Looking at the old man's apprentice's injury, I will have to pay at least 7,000 yuan for soup and medicine. ”

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man immediately took out seven thousand yuan and handed it to me, I didn't answer, but looked at the master, he nodded at me, and I dared to put it away. However, there is a doubt in my heart, my second uncle is still short of 10,000 yuan in medical expenses, in Li Chengze's family, I only earned 3,000, and I am still 7,000 yuan, and now the master is asking this middle-aged man for 7,000 yuan, is it a coincidence? Or does the old man know that I am short of 7,000 dollars?

When the master saw me put away the money, he smiled, beckoned to me, and motioned for me to help him out.

I hurriedly walked over, helped him to the old man's house, and was about to leave, when Mr. Yaoguang came over, first said hello to the master, and then said: "Master, Dongchuan still has a case on me, I'm afraid I can't leave." ”

The master smiled, "The old man's apprentice, it is impossible to kill people." ”

After saying this, the master motioned for me to go forward, I didn't dare to hesitate, said thank you to Mr. Yaoguang, and was about to leave, but at this time, the two policemen who had left before happened to walk in and collide with us.

The policeman wanted to lose his temper at first, but when he saw the master, his attitude immediately became respectful, and one of the twenty-five or sixteen-year-old policemen even took off the hat on his head and said to the master: "Master Liu, why did you alarm you?" ”

"Xiao Zhuo?" The master stared at the policeman for a while, and said lightly: "I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown so big." ”

"Thank you Master Liu for your concern!" The Xiao Zhuo policeman nodded flatteredly, stared at me for a while, and smiled awkwardly, "Little brother, I'm really embarrassed, I didn't expect you to be Master Liu's apprentice, how offended, and hope for Haihan." ”

I stopped and said it was all right, but the master bowed slightly, stopped talking, and walked outside.

Out of the hospital, I was very curious, judging from the attitude of these people, they should know the master, and the attitude towards the master was extremely respectful, as if they were afraid of offending the master, so they asked the master, "You are very famous in Nanping Town?" ”

He ignored me, staring at me for a long time with a pair of deep eyes, and finally shook his head and motioned for me to go to the coffin shop.

He didn't say anything about the old man, and I didn't dare to ask deeply, so I helped him go directly to the coffin shop, I thought that his old man would go into the coffin shop to rest for a while, who would have known, just arrived at the door, he stopped and said: "Okay, that's it, remember what the old man taught you today, and be bullied again in the future, the old man is too lazy to care." ”

I hummed and didn't speak, but I saw the master's eyes staring at the door of the coffin shop, looking at it for about a minute, and slowly speaking: "In the past two days, police officer Xiaozhuo may come to you for help, don't refuse him, after all, the whole thing is also the cause of your planting, and you will naturally have to bear the consequences yourself." ”

"Ahh I exclaimed, listening to the master's tone, the old man seemed to know the ins and outs of the whole thing, touched his head awkwardly, and said, "Master, I'm just a high school student, where can I help him." ”

The master didn't speak, leaned on crutches, limped forward, I wanted to catch up and ask, but thinking that his old man didn't like people to ask deeply, I didn't dare to catch up, until his old man completely disappeared from sight, I turned around and walked into the coffin shop.

Entering the coffin shop, I turned out the 3,000 yuan I earned a few days ago, plus the 7,000 yuan that the middle-aged man paid for soup and medicine, a total of 10,000 yuan.

Pinching the 10,000 yuan, I hesitated for a long time, on the one hand, I wanted to send the 10,000 yuan home, after all, the second uncle's medical expenses were still 10,000 yuan, but on the other hand, I didn't want to see my father, in desperation, I had to find an acquaintance to send the 10,000 yuan back to my hometown.

After all this, the time is approaching evening, because of Wang Yangming's death, I have been in a very low mood, and my brain has been thinking, how did Wang Yangming die?

According to the normal situation, it is impossible for Wang Yangming to be beaten to death by Zi Yangtao with a punch, after all, Wang Yangming can show off his power in our class, and there must be a few kung fu at hand, but the strange thing is that Wang Yangming was killed by a punch.

It's really weird.

With all kinds of doubts, I thought about it for a long time in the coffin shop, but I didn't come up with a reason, so I went back to the second floor, hurriedly washed up, and sat on the bed in a daze.

To tell the truth, everything that happened today is far beyond my ability to bear, first Wang Yangming died, then Zi Yangtao went crazy and wanted to kill me, and finally I was beaten by Zi Yangtao's mother, all these reasons, in the final analysis, are the reasons for my cowardly character.

If Zi Yangtao bullied me, I didn't have to solve this matter by knocking on the stick, and I would definitely not follow up on this series of things.

It's okay not to want this, as soon as I thought of this, I pulled the quilt over my head, and cried in the quilt for a night, maybe just like the master said, a person has the ability to do it, but the character is cowardly, and in the end it can only be bullied.

Even now, I still can't forget that night, because that night made me understand a truth, if you want not to be bullied, you can only be ruthless.

Maybe it was because I cried for too long that night, and the next day, my eyes were very swollen, but I didn't pay much attention to it, so I took it as a tribute to the cowardice of the previous seventeen years, and made a random fuss, and opened the coffin shop directly.

As soon as I opened the coffin shop here, the Xiaozhuo policeman led two acquaintances to find me, who were Zi Yangtao's parents.

As soon as I saw them, a smile slipped across the corners of my mouth, and I didn't give them a good look, and said coldly: "What, you want to arrest me?" ”

When the police officer Xiao Zhuo heard this, he hurriedly glanced at Zi Yangtao's parents.

Zi Yangtao's father came to his senses and hurriedly said to me: "Little brother, I'm really sorry for yesterday's incident, I never expected you to be Master Liu's apprentice, and I hope that little brother Haihan." ”

I just stopped, I had already collected 7,000 yuan for soup and medicine yesterday, and I had already written off this matter, and I didn't bother to talk nonsense with them, so I asked straight to the point: "I don't know if the three of them came to the door, what's the matter?" ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took out a cigarette for me, and said, "That's the case, Xiao Zhuo police investigated Wang Yangming's body yesterday afternoon, and found that the corpse was a little strange, as if it was beaten to death, but it didn't look like it was beaten to death by a living person." ”

Hearing this, I frowned slightly, looked at the police officer Xiao Zhuo, and heard him say: "Little brother, we have checked the corpse, and there are dozens of black palm prints on the corpse, and according to Zi Yangtao's confession, he just punched Wang Yangming, and there shouldn't be so many palm prints on his body." ”
