Liu Shangang seemed to be stunned, and even asked rhetorically: "What water tank?" ”

When I heard him ask this, I had a premonition that he was about to be in great trouble.

I heard my master say, "Didn't you say that you sink your face in the water tank every morning and practice closed qigong?" ”

After this was a long silence.

I estimated that it took about ten minutes before Liu Shangang spoke: "No, Grandpa Chai, don't be like this, you look at me with such eyes, it makes my heart tremble!" What, these two days, in fact, I forgot to practice, you see I don't have a pool or anything at home, and I can't practice ......"

Before he could speak, I heard Master's muffled voice: "Copy the Tao Te Ching, ten times!" ”

Liu Shangang: "Oh. ”

Listening to the conversation between my master and Liu Shangang, I don't know why, I just wanted to be happy, I turned my head to look at Liang Houzai, and found that he also had an uncontrollable smile on his face.

At this time, my master suddenly shouted outside: "Those two dishwashers, it's been in the kitchen for so long, and the faucet hasn't been turned on yet!" ”

Frightened, Liang Houzai and I hurriedly turned on the faucet and brushed the bowl seriously.

Since I didn't sleep all night last night, Liang Houzai and I were a little tired, and after washing the dishes, we went to the side to rest, and Liu Shangang obediently copied the Tao Te Ching on the coffee table in the living room under the supervision of my master.

Ten times of the Tao Te Ching, a full 50,000 words, Liu Shangang copied it until two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not until Senior Brother Feng drove to pick us up that Liu Shangang breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally did not have to continue copying.

At half past three in the afternoon, Senior Brother Feng sent us to the railway station of the prefecture-level city, and due to the delay of the train, it was not until five minutes in the afternoon that we got on the train to Henan.

As soon as I got in the car, Master took a notebook out and began to write and draw non-stop, on the way I asked him how things were going with Senior Brother Feng, but Master just replied "Almost" and ignored me.

I craned my neck to look at the notebook in his hand, and he wrapped his whole arm around the notebook to prevent me from reading it.

Liang Houzai still started reading as soon as he got in the car, Liu Shangang put on headphones, leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, I felt a little bored and wanted to chat with Xian'er, but Xian'er was sleeping very deeply at this time, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed.

For me, riding in the car was a boring thing, but now that no one pays attention to me, the trip has become even harder.

I leaned against the car window bored, looked at the scenery outside the window, and before I knew it, I began to think about it, and then I fell asleep against the window unconsciously.

When the train arrived at the station, it was the same night, and Master patted me on the shoulder, woke me up, and then hurriedly took me off the train.

The stop we were at was a small local station with surprisingly short stops, and before we could get off the platform, the train departed again, and I found that no one else was off except a few of us.

Master probably saw the puzzled look on my face and said to me briefly, "Temporary parking." ”

But the temporary parking doesn't seem to let the passengers get off the bus with a salute, right?

When we came to the station gate, the door was locked, there was no ticket inspector at the ticket gate, the whole station looked deserted, the equipment in the station was brand new, it seemed that it had just been built, and it had not yet been officially put into use.

Our group waited in front of the station gate for three or four minutes, and a tall, reckless man trotted all the way over and helped us open the door.

He was wearing a brand-new short-sleeved hanger, big pants, flip-flops, a gold chain around his neck, a black face and black hands, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his body exuded a strong gangsterism.

When my master saw the person in front of him, he immediately frowned: "Zhao Hua? ”

The man replied with a smile as he opened the lock on the station door, "Yo, Master Chai still remembers me." ”

My master asked him, "When did you come out?" Now follow Hu Nanqian to mess around? ”

He opened the iron door and said to my master, "It's been more than a year since I came out. Hehe, thanks to Master Chai who woke me up back then, I am now, I have changed my ways, and I am now Sister Hu's follower. ”

After speaking, he looked at me again and said with a smile: "This little brother is Master Chai's apprentice, right?" Oh, this momentum, at first glance, is the apprentice taught by Master Chai. ”

I am a high school student, what kind of momentum can I have, since Hu Nanqian's intelligence network is so powerful, it should not be difficult to know who my master's apprentice is and what he looks like.

After that, Zhao Hua relocked the gate of the station and led us to a small road, where a tricycle was parked on the side of the road, and in the back canopy of the car, there was a strange smell of fishy mixed with lemon fragrance from time to time.

Zhao Hua put our salutes into the canopy of the car one by one, and said to my master: "The road on the mountain is narrow, and the car can't drive in, Master Chai, don't think my car is bad." ”

My master grabbed the edge of the canopy and got into the car, shrugged his nose, and asked Zhao Hua, "What does this smell like in your car?" ”

Zhao Hua smiled a little embarrassedly: "This three-wheeled was borrowed from a fishmonger, and I sprayed two pots of air freshener but didn't cover the fishy." ”

I got into the car after Master, and I saw our luggage and a few small horses out of the canopy, and two bottles of used air freshener with a pale yellow surface in the corner, and I saw that one of the bottles had the words "lemon fragrance" written on it.

Because the smell in the canopy was too great, Master asked us to remove the tarpaulin on the roof of the canopy, after which Zhao Hua started the car and led us to a mountain not far away.

When I got out of the station, I found that there was a large area of undeveloped wasteland outside the station, with no buildings around, only large areas of weeds and a few small hills. There is only a narrow dirt road along the edge of the station, and at the end of the dirt road, it leads to a hill that looks very steep. That mountain seemed to be the destination of our trip.

Don't look at Zhao Hua's tricycle is tattered, but the speed of running is surprisingly fast, when he drove us on the dirt road, a large burst of dust was raised behind the car, the road was quite flat at first, but after a few minutes, the road became bumpy, and we bumped all the way in the canopy.

As I approached the foot of the mountain, I realized that the slope was steeper than my appearance, and the slope should be between forty-five and sixty degrees.

Just when I was worried about whether the small three-wheeler, which carried so much weight, could be driven, Zhao Hua suddenly yelled in front: "Hurry up!" ”

Before I could react, the three-way car suddenly accelerated, and I suddenly stumbled and almost fell out of the car, but fortunately, Master and Liang Houzai quickly reached out and grabbed me.

The engine of the tricycle made a "whining" sound, and it drove up a steep hill with full horsepower, but when it reached the mountainside, the speed slowed down, and then it began to slide down the hillside.

A few of us quickly jumped out of the car, pushed the tricycle up the hill with all our might, and pushed it up the hill.

Zhao Hua turned back to us and smiled very embarrassedly: "This car is old, and the horsepower is worse than the original, and it can't even go up such a hillside." ”

Master smiled back politely, but didn't speak.

After walking this steep slope, there is a very flat hill, I think this hill seems to be blown flat, it is in peace, the area is about the same as the football field in the school, in the center of the flat roof built a very beautiful villa, and a circle of flowers and plants are planted around the villa.

When Zhao Hua parked the car at the door of the villa, because he accidentally twisted the accelerator, the front of the car rushed out with a "woo", and hit the outer wall of the villa firmly, making a muffled sound.

Immediately after, a woman's voice came from the room: "Huazi, what are you doing?" ”

Listening to the accent, the person who spoke was definitely a native of Henan.

Zhao Hua also responded with a loud voice: "It's okay, I didn't get the car right now and hit it." ”

It didn't take long for the door to open and a woman in yoga clothes with a jumping towel around her neck walked out of the villa.

As soon as she came out, she glanced at the wall directly opposite the tricycle and asked Zhao Hua, "Where did you hit it?" Are people alright? ”

Zhao Hua smiled: "It's okay, it's just that there is an extra mark on the wall." ”

The woman seemed to be relieved, and first said to Zhao Hua: "Everyone is fine." After that, he turned his head and smiled and saluted my master: "Master Chai, don't come to harm." ”

My master didn't salute, but just smiled: "Sister Hu has really been getting younger and younger over the years. ”

Sister Hu? Nancy Hu?

I looked at the woman standing in the doorway, but no matter how I looked, I couldn't connect her with the person "Hu Nanxi".

When I heard Liu Shangang talk about Hu Nanqian coming, I always felt that this person named Hu Nanqian should have dealt with my master a long time ago, and even if she was not as old as my master, she should at least be a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties.

But the person in front of her looks like she is in her early twenties, her facial features are not particularly exquisite, small eyes, big mouth, but it doesn't make people feel ugly, on the contrary, this combination of facial features is very distinctive, and people can remember her firmly at a glance.

Like Huang Yulian, the woman in front of her also exuded a slightly lazy temperament, when she stood at the door, her whole body leaned against the door frame, including when she just saluted my master, she just casually hugged her fist, not formal at all.

I stared at the woman in front of me for a long time, and except for a small strand of white hair on her forehead, there was no trace of age on her body.

Although she is lazy, it does not make people feel that she is listless, on the contrary, she seems to be a very entourage person.

She smiled at my master, turned around and walked into the house, and said to us without looking back, "Come in quickly, it's hot outside." ”

Master didn't talk nonsense, let a few of us take our luggage from the tricycle, and then led us into the house.

When we came to the living room on the first floor of the villa, we saw that the sofa and the stall were full of messy clothes and skirts, only a small open space between the TV and the coffee table, on which a yoga blanket was placed.
