I suddenly had a very bad feeling that my master was saying this to me, as if he was telling me about the future. I hope I'm overthinking.

When I walked out of the bamboo forest, there were already a lot of people gathered outside the bamboo forest, most of them were senior brothers of the same generation as me, and when they saw my master, everyone stepped forward and saluted my master.

Master has always been disgusted with these troublesome etiquettes, but when the juniors came to salute, my master couldn't hold the shelf, so he had to deal with them one by one.

Senior Brother Feng went to contact the others, and I saw Senior Brother Zhuang standing alone outside the crowd, so I leaned up and asked Senior Brother Zhuang, "Senior Brother, have you ever heard of a person named Luo Fei?" ”

Senior Brother Zhuang thought for a while and said, "Luo Fei, hearing you say this, this name is really a little familiar...... Yes, I remember, she seems to be the last descendant of the ghost gate, and she lived in the Soul Village for two months when she was a child. ”

I was about to ask, what kind of sect is the ghost sect, but before I could open my mouth, my master came running.

When Senior Brother Zhuang got along with my master in private, he was still relatively casual, but now that so many fellow disciples were present, he was not rude, and when he saw my master coming, he hurriedly saluted my master: "Uncle Chai." ”

My master nodded unnaturally at Senior Brother Zhuang, glared at me again, and said, "What are you doing to inquire about Luo Fei?" Now, just practice hard, don't think about the rest! ”

I'm just asking what's wrong? I didn't think about anything else, I was just curious, really curious.

But this kind of thing, I can only think about it in my heart, and I will never dare to say it. At this time, whenever I tried to defend myself, my master said that I was contradicting him, and said that I didn't know how to respect the teacher or something, and then I was punished for copying the Tao Te Ching. Five times and ten times are considered less, and I have copied them all twenty times.

After that, my master asked Senior Brother Zhuang again, "Yes, did you bring your passbook today?" ”

Senior Brother Zhuang simply took out a bank card from his pocket and wanted to give it to my master.

My master waved his hand, confiscated it, and just said to Senior Brother Zhuang: "I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring a passbook." What, when you get to the city, help me get 20,000 yuan, and then remit it to you when I go back to Shandong. ”

Senior Brother Zhuang nodded briskly, not doubting at all that my master would borrow money and not pay it back.

You know, even today, 20,000 yuan is not a small amount, let alone in that era. In Jisoul Village, mutual trust between people is very rare in society, but this trust is a blessing and a burden for me today.

After greeting the brothers present, Master and I went back to the hotel, and after Brother Zhuang drove us to our destination, we went to the bank to withdraw money.

After returning to the hotel, Master took out a very old wallet from his luggage, it was the first time I saw my Master's wallet, it was thick, but the coins in it were all five and ten yuan, which was not much.

While rummaging through his wallet, Master said to me, "You can solve the lunch by yourself, turn left when you leave the hotel, and there is a noodle restaurant at the intersection, and the dandan noodles in it taste good, you can go and try them." Five dollars is enough, right? ”

As he spoke, Master took out five yuan from his wallet, and I forgot how much a bowl of dandan noodles was at that time, but five yuan was definitely enough anyway.

But my master looked at the money in his hand and muttered again: "This kid can eat, but a bowl is not allowed." After that, he replaced five yuan with ten yuan, and told me to hurry up and "pull out my heart" so as not to delay his business here.

Plucking the tongue is our dialect, which means to get out. But when my master speaks, he always speaks very standard Mandarin, and these two words come out of his mouth, which makes people feel weird.

The noodle shop that Master said was very close to where we lived, and it was a small shop with a small entrance, but the chef was very good and the noodles were very generous.

I usually have a big appetite, and the food here is spicy and appetizing. I ate three bowls of dandan noodles and some side dishes, but when I paid, I realized that the money was not enough. Fortunately, the local folk customs are relatively simple, the boss saw that I was a child, and did not bother with me, when I left, the proprietress also gave me a small pack of biscuits.

After eating, I was going back to the hotel to take a nap, but when I reached the intersection, I heard a very dense shouting not far away.

In the midst of this noise, I heard someone shouting, "There are ghosts! ”

At that time, I was also shocked, where did the ghost come from in this broad daylight?

Later, I heard someone shouting: "Hao Yougen! ”

These shouts all sound a little unreal, obviously it feels like they are coming from people's mouths, but the voice is deep and muffled, and ordinary people can't make this kind of sound.

At this time, Xian'er suddenly spoke to me excitedly: "There's something fun, go and see it!" ”

I asked Xian'er, "What is it?" ”

Xian'er just said that I would know it when I saw it, and said that I definitely liked it.

I wondered in my heart, and at the same time looked for the direction from which the sound came, and it didn't take long for me to find the source of the sound, which was a small house along the street, and there were many boxes about the same height as me, and those boxes were all colorful and green, and there were all kinds of patterns painted on them, and there were many people standing next to each box, and two people were standing in front of the boxes, slapping and smashing, and the others were watching from the side, pointing and talking as they watched.

Little did I know at the time that those boxes were game consoles, which later became known as arcade machines. All I know is that the sound I just heard came from these boxes.

I was full of curiosity, and I also looked at it, and I found that there was a TV embedded in the box, and there was a very fat man and a man in white clothes fighting each other on the TV, and the two people standing in front of the box would make different movements as their hands kept tapping the buttons and shaking the joystick.

This time, I was fascinated.

The scale of the game machine hall is not large, but there are many types of games, in addition to this kind of game between two people, there are also passable levels, racing cars, I just wandered around in it to see.

At this time, I felt a chill on my shoulder, and knew that it was Xian'er who also came out, so I opened my eyes and looked over my shoulder, and saw that Xian'er only showed a head on my shoulder, staring intently at those TV screens.

She seems to like these things too.

I spun around for a while, just watching others play, and my heart began to itch, and I happened to see that there was no one in front of a box, so I leaned over. But after I followed the example of others and slapped those buttons twice, there was no response on the TV, and the subtitles kept dripping.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly came to me and spoke to me in a dialect with a strong accent.

I shook my head at him, "Huh? Do not understand. ”

He cleared his throat and said to me in very awkward Mandarin: "You have to put a board to play, do you have a board?" ”

I still shook my head: "What kind of board?" ”

He took out a handful of small coin-shaped pieces of metal from his pocket and said to me, "Banban, two cents a piece, do you want to play?" ”

I touched my pocket, except for a small packet of biscuits, it was empty, and the money given by Master had already been spent by me when I was eating.

I pulled out the biscuit: "Do I use this line break?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at the biscuit in my hand, gave me a blank look, turned around and left.

Without in-game currency, I definitely can't play, I can only watch others play. But the more I watched, the more I wanted to play, and my heart itched so badly.

After lunch, the number of people in the arcade gradually increased, and I was tall among my peers, but compared to the adults, I was still too small. Most of the people who came to the arcade were adults who worked nearby, and they stood in front of the game console, and I couldn't squeeze in or see it, so I had to leave in disappointment.

Xian'er didn't seem to have seen it, and when I left the game machine hall, she said to me: "You go back and ask Chai Ye for money, anyway, there is nothing to do in the afternoon." ”

What do you mean that there is nothing to do in the afternoon, and I haven't finished my homework yet! If I lick my face and ask Master for money to come out to play, my Master will never agree, and he will check my homework if he can't get it right.

Recently, I happened to have a text that I didn't memorize, and if it was spot-checked by my master, I would be finished.

When I returned to the hotel, Senior Brother Zhuang was not there, and I didn't have a magnetic card, so I had to go to my master first. When I walked towards my master's room, I wondered if I should try to ask my uncle for money, although I knew that my master would not give it to me, but I couldn't help but think so much in my heart.

Master's door was not closed, but when I entered, no one else was there.

I saw that Master's wallet was on the bedside table, and the wallet zipper was not on his face, and the stack of five and ten dollars of money was just exposed.

When I first saw the wallet, I didn't think much of it, and I planned to wait obediently for my master to come back.

But I could see the wallet, and Xian'er could see it, so I heard her say to me, "It just so happens that your master is not here, you can take some money, let's go out and play." ”

Isn't that instigating me to steal?

How dare I take my master's money, if he comes back and finds that the money is low, I will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

But Xian'er still said in my ear: "Look, anyway, there is so much money in the wallet, scattered and scattered, and your master can't count it." ”

Hearing Xian'er say this, to be honest, I was a little tempted, but I still said: "It's just stealing, my master won't let me steal other people's things." ”

Xian'er said in a soft voice, "How can your master be someone else? Hurry up, when your master comes back, there will be no chance. Alas, in this way, you will assume that I stole the money, and your master can't control me anyway. Don't hesitate, he won't find out about such a broken piece of money. ”

"No," I thought for a while, and said to Xian'er, "Isn't my master still holding your fake body, if you do this, my master will definitely know." ”
