Chapter 26: Apprenticeship 2
Since it was almost dark at this time, it was impossible to leave the town and rush to the city.
As we all know, although there are shuttle buses to the city in remote towns, people have operating hours, that is, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. After this time, if you want to go to the city or back to the town, it's very simple, just charter a black car. But obviously, I can't afford the high price, so why do I say that? It costs only five dollars to take a shuttle bus to the city, and sixty dollars to get to the city by black car. That's a full twelve times the price, and I don't think I'm the kind of local tyrant who spends a lot of money.
So, right in town I found a very cheap little inn, a single room for only ten dollars a night, although there was only a crumbling wooden bed and nothing else, but I was very satisfied. Ten dollars to have a place to sleep in a place that is not blown by the wind or rain is still worth it.
Of course, some people will say that I am stupid, and I only go to the Internet café for six yuan a night. Not only does it have a fan blowing, but you can also use your computer to listen to music and watch restricted movies. Actually, I didn't know how to play that kind of stuff at all, and I wasn't afraid of everyone's jokes, so I went straight to work in a factory after I finished high school, and the time I had to touch the computer could be measured in minutes. What's more, at that time, the teaching facilities of the school in my hometown were not so good at all, not to mention the motor room, and even the conference room was temporarily requisitioned for the classroom.
I bought something to fill my stomach at the night market stall in town, and I didn't go anywhere, just lying in bed staring at the dilapidated ceiling.
Remembering what Master Fang said to me at dusk today, I felt angry in my heart. It turned out that he was really a fool, and he was played with like this. But......
Thinking of this, I immediately sat on the bed with a 'snap', touched my chin and kept asking myself.
What comes to mind? Why is there such a reaction?
Actually, I was thinking about why Master Fang would tell me the 'truth', and if he didn't tell me, how would I know that I had been 'deceived' all along? It's because I knew the 'truth' that I was very angry and walked away directly, and I didn't even give me the red envelope that Master Fang helped me break the evil and send ghosts!
Recalling Master Fang's expression as he sat on the wooden chair resting, it seemed as if he was worried about something. At this time, Master Fang actually said such a thing, could it be that he deliberately wanted to drive me away? Master Fang saw that I wanted to apprentice, and he didn't want to accept me as an apprentice, so he deliberately found an excuse to send me away!
The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible, and I've been a little too attentive these days. As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you must have something to ask for. My problem has already been solved, so the rest of the matter is naturally something else to ask for.
Clear-eyed people know at a glance what I want to stay in the courtyard, Uncle Huang, who is familiar with me, will joke when he comes to incense and pray every day when he comes to pray for blessings, Master Fang finally accepted his apprentice, so Master Fang laughed and didn't answer, and I didn't think about it.
Now that I think about it, Uncle Huang's ordinary people can see my thoughts, so how can someone like Master Fang not see it?
Now I finally know the reason why Master Fang did this, but what can I do? You must know that Master Fang made this decision because he didn't want to take me as an apprentice.
Alas! It's a pity, it seems that secret art is secret art, and it will not be passed on to outsiders.
With a deep sigh, I lay down again, my hands resting on the back of my head, and I closed my eyes in regret.
I don't know how long it took, but when I opened my eyes again, the look of regret on my face was gone, and the rest was inexplicably excited and nervous.
Just now, I had already thought of a solution.
Haven't I still owed Master Fang the red envelope yet? At this time, I went to the door to meet Master Fang for this reason. When the time comes, I will express my mind again, if Master Fang really has made up his mind, then I will go back to work in the factory with peace of mind; But what if Master Fang was moved by my sincerity and made an exception to take me as an apprentice? Who can say for sure?
After all, if I hadn't heard Master Fang's attitude with my own ears, I wouldn't have given up. Instead of just thinking about it here, it's better to put your ideas into practice.
Doing it when you think of it is a common problem among young people. So as a young person, I naturally have this habit of saying that illness is not illness, so I got up directly, picked up my backpack and told the hotel owner to come back later, and went straight to Master Fang's yard.
The night in the town is a bit quieter than the noise in the city, and most of the people who walk out of the hotel walk through the door of the town's residents, watching TV or a few people playing cards or drinking alcohol in the area.
Walking out of the town to the only cement road leading to Master Fang's courtyard, the farmland on both sides exuded the smell of the sun, from time to time there were happy calls of summer-loving animals such as frogs and crickets, and various unknown insects that like to haunt the night were constantly hovering in the low air. I don't know how many of these little things that are not afraid of death have been sucked all the way to the dark, and every time I feel that I have sucked this kind of small thing, I will stop and dig my nostrils with my fingers, until my nose is comfortable, and then continue to walk.
Everyone has walked through the night road. But on this moonless night with only stars, walking alone on a remote road where only one person lives within a radius of two miles, I think there are many people who have not tried it, especially those who were not born in the countryside.
Of course, people born in the countryside will be bolder than others. At least walking at night is not unfamiliar to rural people, Rao is a frequent night walker, and I shiver when I walk on this two-kilometer concrete path.
If it was just insect sounds, it wouldn't be much, at least I could tell what kind of insects were making them. But from time to time there was a sound from the stalks of the rice in the fields covered with golden ears, and then a scream would reach the ears, and with the flickering turquoise light over the field, it made people feel creepy.
Standing on the spot, he rubbed the goosebumps on his arms with both hands, and the steps under his feet began to become bigger, silently thinking in his heart not to be afraid, he looked straight ahead and paced in the direction of Master Fang's courtyard.
After walking for about 20 minutes, I was happy when I saw a light that gave people a sense of security suddenly appeared in the darkness. It's not just that I'm about to say goodbye to the unwarranted fear brought by the darkness, but the most important thing is that Master Fang's yard is not far from me, so it means that I am about to face Master Fang, whether I succeed in apprenticeship or go back to work in the factory with peace of mind, it depends on my performance.
Thinking of this, I felt nervous again. No, in front of Master Fang's courtyard, I hesitated for a while. Eventually, I mustered up the courage and made up my mind. Isn't it just to worship a teacher? What if you just say it, even if you are rejected? It's a big deal to be rejected, and there's nothing to lose!
Speaking of which, a digression. This is a bit like the taste of the confession of the person you like, confess, of course happy if you succeed, but what about failure? How does it end? This is also the reason why many people have been hiding the love in their hearts. But you don't say how people will know your mind, not everyone is so smart. If you fail, start over, it's a big deal to change to another goal!
Without further ado, I rubbed my face to make myself look refreshed. Then he knocked lightly on the wooden door. Maybe this master didn't hear it or fell asleep, I knocked on the boss for a while, and I didn't see a response.
"Master Fang! Master Fang!"
In desperation, I had to raise my throat and yell in front of the door.
But who would have thought that I had just finished yelling, and my mouth hadn't had time to close. The wooden door creaked open!
"What's the hell roaring? Don't you know it's rude to disturb someone's rest?"
Before he saw the figure, Master Fang just complained. After seeing that it was me, he didn't have any expression on his face, and said, "Oh! It's you! Come in!"
Now I'm blindsided. It stands to reason that anyone who sees someone go and come back must have a shocked look on their face and ask, 'How did you come back?'"
But this Master Fang seemed to know that I was coming back, and instead of showing shock on his face when he saw me, he smiled secretly, don't ask me how I know that Master Fang smiled.
Didn't you see that old boy's shoulders shone so badly when he turned around and walked into the yard? I don't believe he has any shoulder spondylosis or anything like that.
