Chapter 288: The Old Man's Prayer
Poof!
When the old man saw the girl, he knelt down at once: "This lord, please, I kneel down for you, please help me, help me! I really have no choice, if there is any other way, I will definitely not come to disturb you, but I ......"
The old man was heartbroken, and he was in tears when he spoke, which made people unbearable to look at directly, and it made the girl very helpless.
"Old man, if there is anything you can talk about, after all, this is the rule set by the master, my young lady will naturally not violate it, and will definitely help you, you get up first. The woman who followed the girl hurriedly helped the old man up and comforted him.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!" the old man snorted and cried.
The three of them changed places.
The third floor of the jade carving building, the living room.
"Old man, can you tell me something? You should know the rules of our Jade Carving Building, right? Although you have successfully obtained the qualification, there are some things that we will not help, and I hope to tell you in detail." The girl sat in the master's seat and asked curiously.
She was genuinely curious.
With her eyesight, it is naturally not difficult to see that in fact, the old man is not simple, he should also be a carver, and the realm is not low, such an old man should have been welcomed by many forces, right?
How did you ask for their jade carving building?
And looking at the situation, it is obvious that everything is thrown away, in order to let them make a move in the Jade Carving Building, which is not an ordinary situation that can be said clearly.
Really.
As the old man narrates, all the mysteries are revealed.
As the girl thought, this old man is really a carver, and he is also a master-level carver, and he is also an extremely rare existence in the whole world.
Originally, with its identity and status, life was also smooth, and it can even be said that it was once called the Taishan Beidou in the carving world, and was admired by tens of millions of people.
Moreover, with his status, if it were a general situation, the Carver's Association would have been able to support him.
But herein lies the problem.
Some time ago, he inadvertently offended someone, and he didn't care about it at first, but not long after, trouble came to the door.
Because of the person he offended, behind him, there was actually a vice president of the carver association where he was, even so, he didn't care, after all, no matter how powerful the other party was, he always had to talk about a reason, right?
But what he never expected was that the other party would be so despicable.
A few days later, the president of the association suddenly found him, and in his bewilderment, he actually announced his guilt and wanted to expel him from the association.
It's worth it!
The reason why he was able to calm down was because of the existence of the association, once he was kicked out of the association, wouldn't those guys who had always been unaccustomed to him come to the door in minutes?
At that time, he protested, and he was indeed aggrieved, because what the president said, he had never done it at all, what relied on the existence of the association, bullying men and women, he didn't even think about it, how could it be that he did it?
However, soon, the president gave evidence, and the old man was desperate on the spot.
At this point, he was completely expelled from the association and no longer asylum, and the news spread on the same day, and some people who were originally close to his family also began to distance themselves from him, and the world was cold.
Immediately after, troubles followed, and all the previous enemies provoked from above, and after a few days of fear, one night, a mysterious man suddenly came to the door and killed all his family members.
When he woke up the next day in a coma, he was overwhelmed by the bodies of his wife, son, daughter-in-law and even grandson, and all his family members.
He didn't know why he was alive, maybe the murderer did it on purpose.
Nearly three hundred years old, with his cultivation, it can be said that he has reached the time to return to heaven, and he never thought that he would encounter such a devastating thing.
Who the enemy is, he probably knows.
But he has no evidence.
He went to the association to make trouble, was kicked out, and was even almost beaten to death by a stick.
The government even had no news, but they came to see it that day, but they didn't show up.
After half a month, the old man wanted to die, but when he thought that the murderer was still at large, he couldn't tolerate it, and it can be said that mourning is greater than death.
In the years that followed, he was humiliated by his enemies, and almost every day he was beaten with a stick.
He persevered.
He's waiting for an opportunity, he doesn't believe it, he doesn't believe he can't find a way.
In the middle, he didn't think about asking someone to help with his own ability, but the fact is that anyone he found was like chasing flies, either avoiding him or directly refusing.
Finally, more than ten days ago, he got a message that in such a marginal place, there is a special place called 'Jade Carving Building', as long as someone can pass the assessment of Jade Carving Building, he can ask the other party to do a favor for free.
This news immediately attracted the attention of the old man.
He began to inquire silently.
Eventually, the old man came here......
After hearing all this, the girl was silent.
This kind of thing......
To be honest, it's not that girls haven't heard of it because of their status, but in fact, there are too many of them in this world, and there are countless of them.
It's just that I heard about it, and I really met it, but it was the first time for a girl.
And what she didn't expect was that the other party was so ruthless, although she didn't know how the old man offended that person, but it must not be a matter of destroying people at every turn, right?
actually went directly and killed the whole family.
It's no wonder that the old man is like this, desperate and kneeling.
But the girl also knows that this kind of thing is nothing among warriors.
If it weren't for the old man coming to the door and successfully qualifying, otherwise she wouldn't have necessarily helped even if she heard it.
"I know a little bit about it, and if that's the case, we can help you, but before we can do that, we'll have to send someone to find out. The girl said.
After all, this is the old man's words, and she doesn't know what the truth is.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" the old man cried, an old man in his prime, since he cried into a tearful man.
The girl didn't say much, but gave the maid a look, and the maid immediately understood, and turned away.
The girl looked at the old man again: "My name is Moon Dance, and I haven't asked the old man for your surname?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't you dare to take your surname, it's my negligence, my surname is Chen, a single name is a liter, Miss Moon Dance, you can call me Lao Chen or anything else." ”
"Then call you Lao Chen. "Yue Wu Wan'er, I see that Lao Chen, you seem to have not moved the way of carving for a long time, is it also because of this matter? If you don't dislike it, you can temporarily live in my Jade Carving Building, my Jade Carving Building is recruiting talents, and it is exactly what you need to carve masters." ”
The old man was stunned again, smiled bitterly, stopped talking, and finally said: "Miss Moon Dance, I have no intention of doing anything else, Miss Moon Dance's kindness, I understand the old man, I have already decided, when this matter is over, the old man I will go to see my family." ”
Moon Dance was silent, she didn't know how big the old man's desire for death was at this time, but she still couldn't bear to see a living human life pass away like this, especially when this old man's heart was not bad, and he was a master of carving, she couldn't bear it.
She pursed her lips, and her heart moved: "That's it, Lao Chen, this matter of you, it just so happens that I am going to see the master in two days, and I must tell the master together, otherwise, you will go with me to meet the master, right?"
The old man didn't understand what Moon Dance meant, but when he thought that he had a request for someone, he really should meet the real master here, so after thinking about it, he agreed.
In this way, Moon Dance arranged for the old man to live in the Jade Carving Building temporarily, and at the same time let people take care of one or two.
The next day, someone came over with news from Yueqilou.
Under the investigation of Yue Qianlou, a secret force that is now considered a behemoth, what is there that they can't find out?
It's the same as what the old man said, so far, Moon Dance has no scruples.
Another few days.
A beast cart made use of the jade carving building.
The beast cart drove on the country road, a little bumpy, but inside the beast cart, it was extremely gentle, and there was a lot of space in the car, Moon Dance and several of his subordinates, as well as the old man were among them.
The car was very silent, Moon Dance's eyes gathered outside the car, in a daze, and the old man seemed to be outside the fugue at this time, not to mention a few maids, the master didn't speak, how dare they speak?
"Xiaoyu. Suddenly, Moon Dance shouted softly.
"Yes, miss. The maid named Xiaoyu immediately responded.
"How far is it?" asked Moon Dance.
"Miss Hui, there is still half a day away. Xiao Yu pursed her lips and smiled.
Moon Dance couldn't help but glared at Xiao Yu: "What are you laughing at, you are not allowed to laugh!"
"Yes, miss!" Xiao Yu suddenly froze, and quickly stopped laughing.
Moon Dance was speechless and simply didn't bother to pay attention.
"Is there still half a day?" Moon Dance seemed to see the figure of that person in a trance, he took himself deep into the demon cave, killed countless demonic beasts, and then spent nearly ten years carefully guiding himself.
......
This is a bamboo forest, with a small stream in front of the hill, a small vegetable field on the edge of the bamboo forest where some common side vegetables are grown, and a bamboo house is full of smoke.
The scenery is not good, but it is better to be secluded and peaceful.
"Yawn~!"
A guy the size of a bobcat yawned, glanced at the bamboo house behind him, and climbed down again boredly.
It half-squinted, looking ahead, where there was a path overgrown with weeds, and it knew that if nothing else, in a few moments, visitors would arrive.
"Speaking of which, the little master should come over today, right? Tsk, I haven't seen you for a year, and I don't know how the little master is doing, and the master is really, this is his own apprentice, is it really okay to just ignore it?"
Muttering in its mouth, its eyes suddenly lit up: "Huh, here it is!"
At this time, there was a figure in the distance, Shi Shiran was walking on the path, approaching step by step.
This is a barefoot old man, dressed in coarse cloth, carrying a medicine basket on his back, and a small medicine hoe pinned to his waist.
This person, it is very familiar, it remembers that a few years ago, this old man happened to pass by here, and since then he has come here at a fixed time every month, rain or shine.
According to the old man's own words, he also lives here, on the next hill, and makes a living by collecting medicine, calling himself 'old man of medicine'.
Of course, this is also confirmed, because occasionally when it is bored, it will go to the old man's place for a stroll.
Seeing that the old man Yao had arrived, he couldn't help but glance at the bamboo house, or the chessboard outside the bamboo house, and muttered secretly in his heart: "Isn't it just some black and white stones? I don't know how the master and the old man medicine care so much, it takes half a day every month." ”
Speaking of those black and white stones, it couldn't help but twitch the corners of its mouth, thinking that at the beginning, it accidentally 'got' those black and white stones, and that time it was almost killed by its owner......
......
"Miss, it's here. ”
The beast cart stopped at the side of a mountain path, and the maids got out of the car one after another, and Xiaoyu finally reminded the moon dance who was in a daze.
"Huh?" Moon Dance was stunned for a moment, but when she came back to her senses, she had already arrived, "Has it already arrived?
She felt a little emotional, in the past, she also lived here, she was very familiar with this place, and she also had a strong sense of belonging.
However, a year ago, she left and was sent by her master to manage the Jade Carving Building.
And this time I left, it was a whole year, and I never came back once.
It's not that she doesn't want to come back, it's that her master won't let her come back.
Now, the deadline has come, and she's finally back here.
After getting off the beast cart and looking at the path in front of him, Moon Dance muttered in a trance: "Speaking of which, the old man of medicine is also going to Shizun's place today, right? This old man has to go to Shizun's place every month to eat and drink, and he is not afraid of being embarrassed." ”
"I don't know how the master is doing......
Walking on the trail, I don't know why, Moon Dance suddenly felt a little apprehensive.
"Xiaoyu, did you say that Shizun hated me, or why would he get rid of me?"
Xiaoyu on the side was very helpless, "Of course not, the master is good for you, don't you also know this? Don't worry, let's go, the master should have waited for a long time, don't you want to eat the delicious food made by the master himself?"
Boom~
When it came to delicious food, Moon Dance, who was already very generous, couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
No way, after all, she only learned carving with Shizun, not cooking, as early as after her apprenticeship, she had been captured by Shizun's cooking skills, and she had not eaten Shizun's delicious food for a year, and she was already hungry.
"All right, for the sake of the delicious food, let's hurry!" said Moon Dance.
Several maids on the side couldn't help laughing, but they were also looking forward to it at this time, because not only they Xiao Ji, but also for themselves, why wasn't it the case?
Cheng Sheng, the old man who had been following the women, looked dazed, he felt that he couldn't understand the conversation of several people at all, and if he couldn't understand it, he could only keep it in his heart and follow silently...... [.]
