Chapter 218: A knock at the door in the middle of the night

When I entered the house, he and I sat down on either side of a black lacquered square table, and as he picked up the teapot and poured water for me, he said, "Silversmithing is a very boring and very patient job, and I have taken in several apprentices before, but in the end I have all been driven away, because they are not suitable for this job at all!" I look at your face, I think you are also a person who has experienced, probably able to calm down, since you want to learn this craft then I will teach you! ”

I was overjoyed when I heard this, picked up the tea on the table with both hands, and respectfully sent it to him and said sincerely: "Master! Please drink tea! ”

The old man smiled and said a little casually: "There is no need for this, the apostle is not so important, but if you really want to learn, then study with your heart." The reason why I am in such a hurry to find an apprentice is that I just want to pass on this craft! I'm old, and if this craft comes to me and breaks it, it will be a real sin! ”

I was stunned again, I didn't expect the old man to have this idea, I think this is the power of inheritance, although this folk craft seems to be nothing special, but if it is lost, I am afraid that the reckless years in the future will never see such a thing with the characteristics of the famous people, what a pity it should be......

So I became an apprentice in a silversmith's shop and moved out of the inn, where I lived with the old man from then on.

I also call him Uncle Nine like others, and he calls me Ah Sheng! No one had ever called me that, but it sounded familiar.

On the day I moved out, the woman who threw herself into the lake and I rescued gave me my coat. I didn't see her clearly in the dim light that night, and I couldn't help but be slightly stunned when I saw her again.

This is an extremely beautiful woman, with fair skin and delicate features, long hair like waterfalls, clear eyebrows and eyes, but the waist is thicker, but of course this is because she is pregnant.

She thanked me for saving my life that night, and although her expression still looked familiar, I don't think she would go to extremes anymore.

Life seems to be really the same as I expected, I really settled here, maybe I have some intricate connection with here, I don't even feel the altitude sickness that most people have, I think this is probably what Buddhism says!

Hitting silver is actually not a difficult thing, as long as the strength is mastered properly, you can get started quickly. I was able to complete simple silver chopsticks on my own in two days! Uncle Nine is still very satisfied with my performance.

Although it is not difficult to play, the difficult thing is the engraving ornamentation, almost all the ornaments must be carved and decorated, otherwise this thing will have no beauty at all.

Even a pair of silver chopsticks are decorated with moire, which is also the essence of Tibetan silver jewelry.

I studied for nearly two months, and I gradually touched some doorways, but it was only carved some simple things, and those complicated ornaments had to be handled by Uncle Jiu himself.

Although our shop is not on the street side, although there are two other shops in the town that specialize in Tibetan silver jewelry, we can also survive in the cracks, because we are pure handmade, there is absolutely no other one in this world that is exactly the same, and we can also engrave some exclusive patterns or words according to the customer's request, which is not possible in those finished stores.

Therefore, our shop has never been short of tourists to patronize, although the business is light, but fortunately it can survive.

I thought she had left the place, but it was only a month later, three months after I rescued her, that I realized that she had been in the town all along, but I had rarely gone out and not seen her.

Is that

Late one night, Uncle Nine and I had fallen asleep. In my sleep I seemed to hear someone knocking on the door, and I thought I had misheard, but after a while the knock came again. This time I heard it really, but I was a little confused, I don't know who came here so late, what's the matter?

So I got up, turned on the light, put on my clothes and went to open the door, but when I opened the door, I found that there was no one outside, which made me feel strange.

Just as I was about to go out and take a look, I suddenly saw a package placed next to the door, and the package was covered with a thin layer of cotton cloth. But when I reached out to remove the layer of cotton, I couldn't help but stand on the spot.

There was indeed a package underneath the cotton, but inside the package was a baby!!

The baby is sleeping soundly at the moment, with two small hands holding small fists next to the little face, and the pink little man does not yet know that he has been abandoned......

There's also a box next to the package, I don't know what!

My heart was beating wildly, and I picked up the baby and came to the road to look around, but where was there a trace of people?

I panicked and didn't know what to do. So he reported the child back in a panic and woke up Uncle Nine.

Uncle Nine listened to me briefly talk about the situation just now, and couldn't help but look solemn.

"This is someone deliberately abandoning the child, but we are both men, why did we put this child in front of our door?" Uncle Nine frowned and said.

Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, I suddenly thought of the pregnant woman three months ago, and my heart immediately became a little clear.

So I told Uncle Nine about the events of that day again, and Uncle Nine bowed slightly when he heard it: "That's it, this child is probably born to the woman you saved, she probably can't face the future life, and she has no one to know, so she put the child at our door!" ”

"Uncle Nine, what should we do?" I'm suddenly out of order!

Uncle Nine took the child and looked at it, then looked at me and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

I saw that Uncle Nine didn't have an idea, and I was even more flustered!

"I ...... I do not know! ”

Uncle Nine raised his head and sighed, and only said after a long time, "What a poor child...... I was born without parents! Ahh Uncle Nine turned his head to look at me and continued: "I'm already an old man and can't live for a few years, so I can't help you make a decision on this matter......

"So what are we going to do?" I asked eagerly.

"Now there are two choices, one is that we will keep him and raise him, but you have to treat him like your own child and raise him! If you can't do that, there's another option, we'll send him to an orphanage where the staff will take care of him! ”

Uncle Nine pondered for a moment and said, "But the final decision has to be made by you, because you have not yet married a wife, if you take in this child, I am afraid it will have an impact on your future married life, which is why I let you make a decision!" ”

I was stunned, I didn't expect that Uncle Nine had already thought about it so much in this moment!

Although his words are reasonable, he obviously lacks understanding of me, and after all the things I have been through, I have no plans to get married and have children, and I don't think I will ever have such a day in my life.

What I'm worried about is that I don't have the slightest experience with children at all, and this child looks less than a month, I am worried that if I don't take care of one of them, and the child is a good one, then I am really to blame, and Uncle Nine is already old, and obviously he is no longer able to take care of this baby.

So I told Uncle Nine what I thought without any subtlety.

After hearing this, Uncle Nine nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense, then we."

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Send him to the orphanage tomorrow! Alas! Poor kid! Uncle Nine sighed again......

The idea must have calmed down a lot, and I took the child from Uncle Nine again.

Only then did I notice that a paper corner was exposed in the package of the child, and I reached out to pull out the paper, only to see that it was written:

"Benefactor! Thank you for saving my life and my child's life last time. But I still don't have the courage to face all this, maybe I'm too cowardly, I don't know what I should do with my children in the future! I know that the benefactor is a good person, and you even feel sorry for a stray dog! So I selfishly entrust the child to you, begging the benefactor to be able to raise her as his own daughter, as for the child's future life, that is her life! If you want to blame it, blame her useless father and mother! Don't worry, my life was saved by my benefactor, and I won't look for a short time again! If I have the courage to face all of this, maybe I will come back, or maybe never! I will never forget the kindness of my benefactor! ”

The short lines of the letter were wet and dry, and in a few places the handwriting was blurred, and I could guess how hard it was for the woman to write these words!

From the word "she" in her letter, I can probably conclude that the child must be a girl.

I handed the letter to Uncle Nine, put the baby in my arms and looked at it carefully, and I couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in my heart......

I opened the box only to find that it contained a can of milk powder, and a small bottle, which was new and probably unused.

As for what it says on that piece of paper that I have a soft heart for even a stray dog, I think I should explain.

It was a month after I moved to the silversmith's shop, and it was 10 o'clock in the night, and I had already fallen asleep, but since I came out of prison my sleep has become extremely light, and I wake up at the slightest movement.

That night I was awakened by the sound of the puppy, and I didn't want to get up to see what was going on, but the puppy's barking became more and more terrible, and I couldn't sleep, so I got up and went out to look for it.

I don't know who abandoned the little dog on the side of the road, under the endless night sky, in the silent long street, the poor little dog shivered to himself, and his terrible bark was extremely frightened. It makes me feel a little sad inexplicably!

So I stepped forward and hugged it back, and when I picked it up, it immediately stopped screaming, but whined quietly, and its body trembled and looked pitiful!

After I picked it up, I found out that one of the puppy's hind legs was injured, I don't know if it was hit by something or run over by a car, and the bones of the hind leg had been broken.

I looked at its pitiful appearance, so I tried to rub my hand against its broken bone, and then found a few thin strips of wood to tie the broken leg together.

Maybe it also knew that I was saving it, but it didn't scream the whole time, just whined in its throat, which made me feel a little surprised.

After all this I got him some leftovers of our meal, but it probably hurt so much that he sniffed it and didn't eat it, so I went with it, found a mat for it, and then turned off the lights and went to sleep, and that night it never screamed again.

The puppy was paralyzed for more than a month, and when I finally removed the wooden strip from his leg, it miraculously healed, and he remained at the silversmith's shop. I also gave it a mighty name, General Wei.

It's just that I don't know how this matter was found out by that woman!
