Zhao Zhi ate and drank at Old Man Liao's place, bowed and left. Old man Liao and Su Hongjiao didn't react for a while, and they froze in place, watching him walk away.

In the middle of the night, Old Man Liao's face turned pale with anger, and he slammed the table, shaking the tables and bowls. Su Hongshan's face was normal, and he didn't react much.

Old man Liao was not angry or annoyed when he saw Su Hongshan, as a teacher, he lost his temper and was a little embarrassed. He looked at Su Hongshank and said:

"Red handle, we have been studying for most of our lives, but we let this little black fat man play a trick. It's ironic. ”

Su Hongjiao nodded, slightly hesitating. Old man Liao saw it and said:

"What, do you think there's anything strange about this?"

Su Hongshan pondered for a moment and said:

"Teacher, in my opinion———— this little black fat man is a tall man."

"Oh, how so?"

"I can't say that either. In this book, isn't there always such a plot where a master comes to tempt him? As for him, maybe he came to visit the teacher, and he deliberately tried your strength. ”

Old man Liao smiled and said, "Haha, yes, you kid has a clever head." It's just that I'm just a corrupt Confucian, so what is there to visit. I see that he has come to visit you. ”

Su Hongshan shook his head: "What are you kidding, I'm not even surprised." ”

Old man Liao smacked his lips and said, "Tsk, this, it's hard to say." Do you think he'll come tomorrow? If he doesn't come, won't we just miss the master's guidance? ”

"Don't worry, I think he'll be here tomorrow."

"Oh, what about him coming tomorrow?"

"I can't think of anything else. Maybe invite him to eat something good, let's have a better attitude, apologize, and ask him for advice sincerely, it's almost the same, right? ”

"Good, good. Then do as you say. ”

The two discussed, and Su Hongshan sent the tableware back to the small shop in the village, and went home by himself.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Hongshan changed into a clean and exquisite blue cloth robe and came to the school again. After a while, Old Man Liao also came, but it was still the gray cloth gown.

Old man Liao picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and continued to lecture. This time, it was only two or three minutes old, and before he could say a few words, he saw a fat and fat vermilion figure at the door. It was still the little black fat man Zhao Zhi, looking at himself with a smile.

Old man Liao nodded and waved his hand at the students: End of class.

The students were very happy, and the teacher's friend was really good, coming to take a day off.

The students were dispersed, leaving only Old Man Liao and Su Hongshan. Zhao Zhi was also not polite, walked in with a bookcase on his back, and said with a smile:

"Trouble two, I'm here to bother again."

Old man Liao shook his head and said, "Where is this?" Yesterday, the two of us had eyes and did not know Mount Tai, and the hospitality was not good. Who are you? Can you tell me your real name? I'm stupid, don't go around in circles. ”

Zhao Zhile said: "Eat first." Let's talk about it after eating. ”

Old man Liao replied repeatedly: "Okay, okay, red handle, go and book a table again." The wine should be good, and the food should be good! ”

Today, Su Hongshan made full preparations, and explained it clearly in the small shop at the head of the village, so that the wine and food could be prepared in advance. After a short time of going, Su Hongshan came back with a food box. This time it's a dish of sea bass soup with lettuce, a roasted pigeon with honey, a plate of fried taro balls, and a plate of fried snails with soybean leaves; I brought a pot of hot rice wine, wrapped in layers of hot towels, and it was still steaming.

Su Hongshan opened the food box and filled the table with vegetables, Zhao Zhi's eyes were simply shining. This time, Su Hongshan and Old Man Liao didn't move their chopsticks, they were very respectful, and waited quietly for his old man to eat all the food.

After the wine and food were finished, Zhao Zhi burped and said:

"It's a really good dish. The small restaurant in your village makes such a dish? ”

"I heard that there is a master in the store, who used to be the chef in the general's mansion, but after coming to the countryside, he is too lazy to do it on ordinary days." Su Hongshan said, "This time it's a special hand for you." ”

"Yes, yes, it tastes great."

Zhao Zhi rubbed his big belly, with a happy expression on his face. Old man Liao saw that it was almost time, and said, "Master, can you reveal who you are this time and what are you going to do?" ”

Between the words, there is almost a pleading. Zhao Zhizhi looked ashamed, stood up, and bowed deeply to Old Man Liao.

Old man Liao was shocked, and quickly got up and said:

"Master, what are you doing here? You don't have to! ”

"See you later."

Yes?

Zhao Zhi twisted his buttocks, slipped away like a smoke, and ran out directly. Old man Liao reacted quickly this time, slapped the table angrily, and shouted at Su Hongshan:

"Chase him!"

"Huh?" Su Hongshank hasn't come back to his senses yet.

"Chase that fat man! Call him back, if he doesn't come back, you tie him back! Let's just say that he didn't pay for the meal! ”

"Okay."

Su Hongshan ran out of the door, and saw Zhao Zhi's chubby body running towards the village at a glance. Su Hongshan hurriedly chased after him, and the two of them ran out of the village one after the other.

Although Su Hongshan has never entered the academy to practice seriously, in addition to studying since he was a child, he often went to the countryside to play in the martial arts training grounds, and practiced some splits, lower waists, handstands, and somersaults. He thought that he shouldn't have to work hard to chase Zhao Zhi, the little black fat man. Unexpectedly, when the two ran along the country dirt road, they couldn't catch up, and they were immediately a little curious.

Su Hongshan chased for a while, his heart turned from curiosity to horror, and slowly stopped.

Because he saw that Zhao Zhi didn't run away later, he couldn't catch up. He was walking slowly in front, but the distance between himself and him was getting farther and farther.

By this time he had reached the middle of the wilderness, and when he looked up, the sky was cloudy, and there was no sunlight in sight. Zhao Zhi was dressed in a bright red robe, carrying a bookcase, walking slowly in the distance, like a living paper man, looking heart-wrenching.

Su Hongshan turned around and ran back to the village, cold sweat breaking down her spine. When I entered the school hall and saw Old Man Liao, I was relieved. When I touched my clothes, I was already soaked inside and out.

Old man Liao frowned and said, "Red handle? Why do you sweat so much? ”

Su Hongshan took a breath and told Old Man Liao everything he had just seen and heard. After listening to this, Old Man Liao pondered for a long time and said:

"Tomorrow he will come. When the time comes, it's up to the teacher to mine. Don't be afraid, go home and drink plenty of water. ”

Su Hongshan saw that the teacher was confident, and he didn't dare to ask more. When he got home, his parents were surprised to see him in a mess. However, Su Hongshan only said that he had a cold, and didn't say anything else.

After a hasty dinner, Su Hongshan went to bed. Tossing and turning at night, it is difficult to sleep. At last he fell asleep, and when he woke up the next morning, it was already half past eight in the morning, and the sky was bright.

Su Hongshan hurriedly packed up his things and rushed to the school. When I arrived at the school, I saw that the students were already sitting in the classroom, but the atmosphere was a little wrong. The students all looked frightened, looked ahead, and did not dare to come out.

Su Hongshan followed the student's gaze and saw Old Man Liao sitting cross-legged in front of the blackboard, his eyes slightly closed, and his expression was very serious.

Behind Old Man Liao, he carried an ancient sword on his back. Why is it an ancient sword? In fact, Su Hongshank didn't understand it, but he saw that the color of the sword scabbard was dark and gloomy, like old ink, revealing such an antique fragrance, so he concluded that this was an ancient sword.

Su Hongshan was about to go to talk, but Old Man Liao waved his hand at him and motioned for him to hide behind the door. Su Hongshan reluctantly turned to the back of the door, lowered his breath, and hung his hands.

Didn't that little black fat man Zhao Zhi come? I woke up late, but I didn't expect him to be even later today.

As soon as he thought of this, Su Hongshan heard a rhythmic knock outside the door:

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound came from far and near, as if someone was striking the ground with a stick. He peeked out of the door and saw Zhao Zhi's short and fat figure walking towards the classroom.

He was still wearing a fat vermilion robe, but he didn't carry a bookcase behind his back.

In his hand was a rod, one of which was black, and seemed to be made of black iron; On the other end is golden, shimmering and dazzling, as if made of gold.

He used this stick to tap the ground rhythmically, all the way this way.

When he came closer, Su Hongshank saw more clearly: the two ends of this stick were simpler than the middle, and at the black end, there was a tiger head carved; At the golden end, a dragon head is carved. At this time, in Zhao Zhi's hands, it was the black tiger head facing down, and the golden dragon's head facing upward.

Su Hongshan was looking at it, and suddenly the old man Liao behind him said faintly:

"Coming?"
