At dinner time, the sky is full of red clouds.

Xu Zhou walked out of Wei Dao's small courtyard slowly.

As soon as he came out, he was taken away by He Bao, who had been waiting outside the hospital for a long time.

The two of them went to a secluded and uninhabited place.

He Bao circled around Xu Zhou a few times, and found that the eldest brother was still embarrassed, and there were no key parts missing on his body, so he let go of a worried heart.

It is said that the last jailer who went to Wei Yanzuo to fight in the courtyard came out with one ear missing for no reason, and asked him why he didn't have ears, and he couldn't say it, and within a few days the jailer went crazy.

This incident was well-known in Ping'an County, and it caused a stir for a while.

Similar incidents have occurred in Wei Yanzuo's courtyard.

It is said that some people with extremely hard bones will generally be thrown into the hands of Wei Yanzuo if they can't be tried by the county magistrate.

Within half an hour, all the prospective guarantors were abandoned.

Therefore, Wei Yanzuo has a very high status in Ping'an County, and no one dares not to touch his moldy head.

It's just that Wei has a somewhat eccentric temperament, and often locks himself in the yard and doesn't go out for ten days and half a month.

It has the name of "Wei Maniac"!

"Big brother, you came out alive!" He Bao was pleasantly surprised.

His eldest brother was indeed a man of God.

As soon as the front foot beat Pang Hu fat, the back foot retreated from the courtyard made by Wei Yan.

"Tut-tut, are you talking about human words?" Xu Zhou squinted his eyes and glanced at the kid angrily.

He Bao touched the back of his head and smirked: "Big brother, I'm not worried about you." ”

"Worried? So you're running faster than a rabbit? ”

Xu Zhou accused He Bao of being immoral and left him alone in the yard to face a strange old man alone.

"Big brother, I'm naturally timid and afraid."

He Bao scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and he hurriedly changed the topic: "Big brother, Wei Chengzuo didn't do anything to you, right?" ”

"No, this old man is very good, I have been reading all afternoon."

Xu Zhou decided that he would stay in Wei Dao's courtyard in the future, and he would stay here when he died.

This is no better than feeding hundreds of prisoners, who are tired and can't straighten their waists.

"Reading a book?" He Bao was strange.

Xu Zhou nodded, and pulled He Bao to solve the stomach problem first.

People are iron, rice is steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry.

At the street noodle stall, the two of them ordered a bowl of somen noodles.

The face was not good, Xu Zhou turned his fingers on the chopsticks, and said boredly: "The old man first asked me if I could read and write, and I said that I knew a little, so he threw me a book and said that he would take the school exam in a few days." ”

After hearing this, He Bao's eyebrows flew, grabbed Xu Zhou's arm and said excitedly: "Big brother, you are lucky, Wei Yanzuo wants to accept you as an apprentice!." ”

Xu Zhou was stunned for a moment, seeming, as if, that old man had this meaning.

No wonder he stayed in the yard with the old man in the afternoon, and the old man always looked at him with ill will.

......

Finish your meal quickly.

Under He Bao's gaze, Xu Zhou entered the small courtyard that was regarded as a forbidden place by the county government without looking back.

Wei Dao, who was wearing a round-necked robe and carrying it on his back, was standing in the yard feeding the cats.

Xu Zhou picked his teeth with a toothpick from the stall in his hand, walked up to look at these cats like black coal, and suddenly said, "Do you want to accept me as an apprentice?" ”

Wei Dao was stunned when he heard this, and the copper basin in his hand almost couldn't hold it and fell to the ground, but in the end it was stable.

A few black cats bowed their heads and continued to eat the little meat left in the bowl.

"Ahem."

Wei Dao coughed twice, turned around and sat on the stone bench repaired by the locust tree, and thumped his old cold leg.

Xu Zhou saw the old man's reaction, and the matter of accepting apprentices was nine out of ten.

In other words, he is nothing special, just because he is bold and a little handsome.

The old man is going to take himself as an apprentice?

"Why, listening to your words, you still don't seem to want to?" Wei Dao's hoarse voice squeezed out of his throat.

"Of course not, what future can you have when you are a servant? I'm going to be a headcatcher in the future. Xu Zhou immediately said proudly.

Wei Dao almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

He glared at Xu Zhou, and then said slowly: "It's still early to accept apprentices, let's not worry about it for the time being, you should write down the content of that book carefully in the next few days, and the old man will take the school exam in a few days." ”

Xu Zhou nodded, threw away the toothpick, and went into the house to read with the lying corpses.

The book given by Wei Dao is about the acupuncture points of the human body, and it is necessary to cooperate with the specimen to grasp it more comprehensively.

However, when it comes to staying with dead bodies, ordinary people usually feel uncomfortable and nauseous, let alone memorize the contents of the book.

But Xu Zhou is different, maybe this baby lacks strings in her brain, and she gets along well with the dead corpse, Wei Dao often sees Xu Zhou chatting with the dead corpse.

This made Wei Dao feel that Xu Zhou, this kid, had the talent to do tricks.

What's more, Wei Dao felt that he was getting older, and he should also have a successor.

Of course, the apprentice who was accepted three years ago doesn't count.

Even if she wanted to, her family wouldn't agree.

In this case, Xu Zhou just filled this vacancy.

After Wei Dao finished feeding the cats in the yard, he limped into the house on crutches.

He first put on the bloody clothes and prepared the tools for opening the corpse, and then he had to start the autopsy in front of Xu Zhou.

As soon as the knife went down, dark red blood flowed out, but inevitably some of it would be splashed on the body, and sometimes it would splash on the face

Xu Zhou subconsciously got up and hid a little farther away.

In the end, he couldn't help but nag: "I said, Wei Yanzuo, you are not afraid of getting an infectious disease if you do this?" ”

Wei Dao straightened up, holding a knife in both hands, and looked at Xu Zhou: "Are you teaching the old man how to do things?" ”

Xu Zhou curled his mouth dissatisfied: "I'm just suggesting, a small suggestion..... If you go under the knife without paying attention to your own protection, it is easy to get infectious diseases. ”

Wei Dao snorted disdainfully, and pointed to the face towel hanging on the hanger: "That, the old man doesn't want to wear it." ”

Xu Zhou stepped forward and took off an inverted triangular face towel from the hanger and looked at it.

This cloth is a bit like the masked assassin used in the TV series, but people are usually black, this piece is white, and the material is not the same, this piece has good air permeability, it is uniformly issued by the government, it is a simple gauze cut, and it is tied to the back of the head when used.

"Why don't you want to wear it, I thought there was no such thing?" Although the effect of this cloth against bacteria is not very good, it is better than nothing.

Wei Dao said: "The old man often does things for three or four hours, and he never stops for a moment on the way, and this face towel is tied behind his head and is easy to fall off. ”

Xu Zhou nodded and understood.

He had a good idea: "Do you have a needle and thread?"

Wei Dao didn't understand why.

"Forget it, I'll find it myself."

Wei Dao looked at it, shook his head, and continued to dissect the corpse.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Zhou walked in like a gust of wind.

He raised what he was holding: "Look, this is called a mask." ”

Without waiting for Wei Dao to speak, Xu Zhou walked behind Wei Dao and put the mask temporarily transformed by the face towel on the old man.

One on each side of the ear, the size is just right.

"That's it, I promise it won't fall unless the rope breaks."

Wei Dao stood in place, unable to touch the "mask" covering his mouth and nose because his hands were covered with blood, so he simply went with it.

After a long time, Wei Dao found that this mask was surprisingly easy to use, it was not easy to fall off naturally, and it would not hinder his own dissection, the air permeability was good, and even the smell of corpses was much lessened.

He glanced up at Xu Zhou, who was reading a book in the corner of the room, and shook his head with a smile.

As an old man, how could he not know the dangers of not paying attention to protection.

It's just that I'm an old stubborn person who has always been reluctant to wear the face towel issued by the government.
