Chapter 6: Apprenticeship
Hu Nianzu saw Xiaobao kneeling on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully three times, but he didn't know why, he thought that this little ghost still had some conspiracy, so he said: "What are you doing kneeling with me, a manly man, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you, your face will not change, you need to know that there is gold under the man's knees, and I will punish you greatly if you do this." Xiaobao saw that Hu Nianzu was going to beat himself, and said hurriedly: "Master, I am not afraid to kneel to you, but I think that you are strong in kung fu and saved my life, and I am grateful to worship you as a teacher, if not, you will kowtow to me three hundred heads, and I will not kneel to you and worship you." ”。
Hu Nianzu was stunned, angry and angry: "I still kowtow to you rabbit cub for three hundred heads, you think it's quite beautiful, but what you said I saved your life, don't fool me, otherwise I still have to beat you, the previous incident in Chunfeng Building, Lao Tzu's anger has not disappeared, if you come to lie to me again, Lao Tzu will settle the new account and the old account together." So Xiaobao told the truth about how he was targeted by the two Zhang Xiaosan and Ma Si and how he coaxed them.
Hu Nianzu walked to Ma Si's side, took out a stack of silver tickets from his clothes, and sure enough, the number was the same as Xiaobao said, so he scolded the thief bones in his mouth, and kicked Ma Si twice, kicking his calf shin bone off, and by the way, he threw Ma Si, who was soft into mud, out of the gate, turned around and took the silver ticket and said to Xiaobao with a smile: " Hmph, little slippery head, you are very smart and accepting, and you know how to use Lao Tzu as your thug, you are not afraid that Lao Tzu will be greedy at this time, kill you, and when the time comes, dig a pit in the courtyard, throw you in, fill in the soil, and bury it, isn't it unaware?"
Xiaobao saw that his expression was gloomy and terrifying at this time, and he retreated a few steps in a row, and his urine still couldn't help but come up, and he forced a smile and said: "Hey, hey, master, you are a big hero and hero, and I have admired the apprentice very much, and I often hear the adults and children in the town praise the master for your chivalrous courage, how can you do that kind of murderous and oversold thing with that kind of little deflated three little hooligans, if it is because of this incident to humiliate the master's reputation in the first life, wouldn't it be a big loss-making business." ”。
Hu Nianzu saw that it was almost over, and he no longer scared him, returned the silver ticket in his hand to Xiaobao, and said in a rough voice: "Lao Tzu naturally won't do this kind of indiscriminate thing, but hum." As soon as Xiaobao heard this treacherous smile and secretly said that it was not good, he wanted to run away, but as soon as he turned around, he was hugged by Hu Nianzu with both hands, lifted up, and reversed, Xiaobao said in his heart: "Dead and dead, this tiger and wolf will be swallowed by the tiger again, no, it will be swallowed by this turtle king bastard." He cried regardless of it, and the urge to urinate that he could barely hold back just now was no longer able to bear it, and all of it urinated out, dripping on the floor, closing his eyes, and thinking with tears streaming down his face: " After Lao Tzu died, I don't know if I can meet my parents, but probably can't meet it, when I get to the Yama Palace, I want to drink the Meng Po soup, not to mention that I don't remember the appearance of my parents, and when the time comes, I will sue this turtle king bastard in front of the king of Yama, and ask the king of Yama to let some little ghosts come out and torture this old turtle and the old king day and night, it's a pity that my good sister hasn't lived a happy life with her, but today she will die here, bitter. In an instant, Xiaobao's mind quickly turned many thoughts.
After a long time, Xiaobao quietly opened his eyes, looked up, but saw Hu Nianzu looking at himself with a smile on his face, the expression on his face was very teasing, where did he not know that Hu Nianzu was playing tricks on himself, and said busily: "Master, Xiaobao will never dare to play tricks on people in the future, quickly put me down, Xiaobao will set up an immortal tablet for the master in the future, burn incense every day, and pray for the master to live a long life." Hu Nianzu said with a smile: "Little bastard, I'm afraid that you say so, but in your heart you want to curse me to die early, okay, Lao Tzu won't scare you, and you don't need to set up any immortal tablets for Lao Tzu, as long as you sincerely worship me as a teacher, and you can think of collecting Lao Tzu's body in the future." As he spoke, he put Xiaobao down, saw that his crotch was wet, and said with a smile: "Your grandmother will also be afraid, Lao Tzu also said that your newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but I didn't expect to pee my pants, hehe." ”。
Xiaobao was in a hurry, and said with a blushing face: "I'm still a child, the child pees his pants, what's there, besides, I'm not afraid to pee my pants, it's because I'm in a hurry, I just wanted to run to pee, but I was caught by you, and naturally I will pee out, and it's still the master's mistake, bullying children." Hu Nianzu saw that this kid had a very hard mouth, and refused to admit that he was scared to pee his pants, and he no longer teased him, paused, and said: "Okay, okay, you said that you are not scared, then you are not scared, follow me to the backyard to change all this clothes, so as not to flow urine and water turbulently and dirty Lao Tzu's place." Xiaobao followed behind Hu Nianzu, muttering in a low voice: "What do you mean by me, that's the truth!"
Hu Nianzu scrubbed Xiaobao for a while, changed his clothes again, and then led him to the compound again, and said with a serious face: "This apprenticeship is not your kid just kneeling down and kowtowing a few heads, you can be real, my Hu Nianzu has no wife and no children in his life, and today I accepted you as an apprentice, that is, I will treat you as my son, if you deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors in the future, Lao Tzu will come to abolish your kung fu with his own hands, understand?" , Xiaobao saw that his eyes were wide open when he said this, as if he was going to eat people, and knew that this was not the time to mess around, so he nodded heavily.
Seeing Xiaobao agree, Hu Nianzu was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and said to him: "Do you still have parents and family alive?", Xiaobao shook his head, Hu Nianzu pondered for a while and continued: "Well, then you will follow my surname after apprenticeship, this reincarnation is like reincarnation, you have no parents and family alive, and I am also very different, and I will be both a master and a father in the future, and when I die, my martial arts and family wealth will be yours, but you have to take care of the aftermath for me, this is the way of a disciple, do you understand?" , Xiaobao nodded again, Hu Nianzu saw him and agreed, he really smiled, and said softly: "Okay, I have no sect, so I am familiar with kung fu, I dare not say that you can be a general and a hero in the future, at least it can also allow you to have a skill, so that you will not be on the street, well, this apprenticeship ceremony does not have to be too cumbersome." ”。
took Xiaobao to the lobby, and hurriedly ran to the house, walked out after a while, sat on the upper seat, and said with a smile: "I'm not that kind of old man, and I don't need any cumbersome rituals, you just need to respectfully kowtow three heads, serve tea, call me master, I drank your tea, this ceremony is completed, and you will be my Hu Nianzu's apprentice in the future." Xiaobao knelt on the ground, kowtowed respectfully three times, picked up the tea prepared earlier from the table next to him, held it with both hands, handed it to Hu Nianzu, and shouted: "Master, please drink tea." Hu Nianzu snorted, took it, took a sip slowly, took out the prepared red envelope from his clothes, handed it to Xiaobao, and said with a smile: "In the future, you will be called Hu Xiaobao, my Hu Nianzu's closed disciple, hahahaha." ”。
"Hu Xiaobao, Hu Xiaobao, alas, Xiaobao is very good, it's just that this Hu character is a bit ugly, but forget it, the teacher's order is difficult to disobey, I will call Hu Xiaobao in the future. Xiaobao is happy to have a surname, but he is used to hurting people on his lips, and he always feels uncomfortable without damaging the last two sentences, Hu Nianzu's eyes glared and said: "You fuck, why is Hu Zi ugly, I think you don't want to call Hu Xiaobao, you should be surnamed Hu and say eight words, hehe, nonsense, this name is quite suitable for you stinky boy." Hu Xiaobao opened the red envelope given by Hu Nianzu again, opened it and looked at it, obediently, he lay alone in the bag with a penny of copper coins, Hu Xiaobao couldn't help but shout: "Master, you are too stingy, I don't ask you to send a hundred and eighty taels of silver, and you don't need to send a penny to take it." ”。
Hu Nianzu's face turned red, and he said, "It's not that the martial arts hall is not doing well." Then he pulled his neck and shouted: "You grandma, it's not you stinky boy who hurt it, don't you have to pay for the things that Lao Tzu broke in the Chunfeng Building? Speaking of which, half of this is the responsibility of you, a stinky boy, and it should be you, a boy, who should honor Lao Tzu's red envelopes." Hu Xiaobao saw that he had the posture of losing his wife and breaking his army, and hurriedly put on a smile: "Master, your hometown is a big hero and a hero, how can you covet those little money, right? Money is a trivial matter, but the master's noble spirit is a big thing." ", and then muttered in a low voice: "It's not that you bastard wanted to beat me at the time, otherwise how could I make trouble, obviously the responsibility is all on you bastard, and it is also pushed on the master." Hu Nianzu didn't hear it accurately, and asked, "What did you say?" Hu Xiaobao smiled: "I mean that the master is a hero who stands up to the sky, and I, Hu Xiaobao, can worship under the master's door, it must be that I burned incense diligently in my previous life and broke seventeen or eighteen big wooden fish to have this blessing." ”。
Thousands of wears, only the sycophant does not wear, a big sycophant, the shot of Hu Nianzu is comfortable, smiling, secretly this little ghost has opened his mind, speaks sincerely, and is very likable, touching Hu Xiaobao's head and laughing: "You stinky boy is very honest, good, Lao Tzu will start teaching you the basic skills tomorrow, you need to know how to practice martial arts, pay attention to diligence, patience, talent and brain, all are indispensable, your kid's brain turns fast, and you can't be lazy and slippery, otherwise Lao Tzu will beat you with a whip, do you know?" , Hu Xiaobao listened to countless stories of martial arts masters told by storytellers in the teahouse, and he had long been yearning and envious, and he heard that Hu Nianzu was going to teach martial arts from tomorrow, and he was excited.
Hu Xiaobao asked: "Master, can you fly to the sky after learning martial arts?" Hu Nianzu shook his head and said, "No." "Then, can you kill people thousands of miles away after learning martial arts?", "No, martial arts can only kill the enemy in one step." ", "That, can you learn martial arts", "Where did you come from so many stinky boys, you fucking think Lao Tzu is a fairy, you didn't learn to walk, you thought about flying first." Hu Xiaobao pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "This can't be, that can't be, what's the use of learning? It's better to sleep comfortably every day." Hu Nianzu glared and said, "What are you talking about, stinky boy?" Hu Xiaobao smiled heaped: "No, I mean what the master teaches is that the disciple must study hard and practice hard, live up to the teacher's kindness, and honor the master in the future." ”。
Hu Nianzu nodded, and said to Hu Xiaobao: "Xiaobao, you will be regarded as a person who practices martial arts in the future, after practicing martial arts, you must not bully others, when you walk the rivers and lakes, you must be careful in everything, when you are hostile to others, you must not be strong, if you have no life, there will be nothing, what I said are my experiences when I walked the rivers and lakes, you must keep it in mind, you know?" , Hu Xiaobao heard his words, and his heart was moved, knowing that although Hu Nianzu was a reckless and rude man, he treated himself sincerely, and he would not call him a bastard in the future, well, he would scream when he was angry at most.
