Xiaojiazhuang.

"Haha, boy, you can go fishing!" Old Li Yuan's hearty laughter spread throughout the lake.

The chamberlain Lao Wang on the side also congratulated: "Congratulations to Master Hou, I have finally surpassed the master after so many days." ”

"Haha, happy and happy, I will cook myself at noon today and set a table for the teacher's banquet."

Lao Li Yuan's eyes lit up, "Boy, you have to be distinctive, don't always have eight dishes and one soup." ”

Xiao Rui stretched out three fingers, "Don't worry, today the two of us caught two baskets of fish, and I will show you a hand and make a whole fish feast." ”

Old Li Yuan scolded with a smile: "Are you overjoyed? I don't know how to count, two baskets of fish, you stretch out three fingers? ”

Ahem......

Xiao Rui looked at it, quickly put away his gestures, and subconsciously put OK, which is incomprehensible in Datang.

"Third master, son, the scout is coming, Governor Chai is coming with General Niu Xiu and General Niu's son." Li Junxian came to report. (Niu Xiu Zi Jinda)

The pleasant atmosphere was stagnant, and Lao Li Yuan lowered his face and said dissatisfiedly: "Chai Shao? How could he be so unwise? Li Daozong's example is in the past, and he still dares to come forward? ”

"Boy, you go cook, Chai Shao, I'll deal with it."

Xiao Rui smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you old." If I talk to my uncle, I'm really embarrassed to say no. ”

Not long after, Chai Shao's carriage came to the entrance of the village, and the three of them stepped down from the car, and the old waiter Wang was already waiting.

"Metropolitan Governor, General Niu, Boy Niu, my lord is invited."

Chai Shao took a look, "The king's servant? The Emperor is also there? ”

Lao Wang reminded: "Metropolitan Governor, Xiaojiazhuang does not talk about official positions, only about family affection. The people here call the old man the third master. ”

The third master?

"Yes, that's what General Niu's father and son should be called. As for the Grand Governor, you ......"

Lao Wang didn't say anything, but led the way.

Chai Shao understood, came to the side of Lao Li Yuan, who was fishing, and saluted respectfully: "Father-in-law." ”

Niu Jinda's father and son also saluted respectfully: "Niu Xiu and his dog Niu Xiaohu have seen the third master." ”

Old Li Yuan didn't raise his eyelids, and said lightly, "Just sit down." ”

This......

Do we dare?

The old king of the inner chamberlain looked at him, which means that if you don't sit, the master will be angry.

So Chai Shao sat down on the stone bench next to him, and Niu Jinda and his son stood nervously next to him.

After being silent for a long time, Chai Shao and the others were restless, not knowing what the emperor in front of them was going to do.

Old Li Yuan no longer took care of it, and said, "Go back, Xiao Rui won't accept apprentices." ”

Yes?

This......

After sitting for a long time, you just said this? Then you just said it straight, why should we sit down? Chai Shao and Niu Jinda glanced at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.

Niu Xiaohu didn't want to embarrass his father, so he pulled Niu Jinda's sleeve, meaning let's go back.

Niu Jinda was a son all his heart, and he looked at Chai Shao with pleading eyes.

Chai Shao hesitated for a moment, and said stubbornly: "Father-in-law, we are bringing our children to seek medical treatment. ”

Seeking?

Old Li Yuan was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Niu Xiaohu, and didn't find anything unusual.

Chai Shao hurriedly explained: "When Xiaohu was ten years old, he fell from riding a horse and was trampled on his right foot by a bad horse, and now he doesn't have half of his right foot. ”

Old Li Yuan was puzzled: "Ten years old injury, now this child is fourteen or fifteen, right?" ”

Meaning, don't lie to me an old man, no matter how miraculous Xiao Rui is, he can't cure old injuries and disabilities, right?

Chai Shao sighed: "Father-in-law, Xiaohu is a poor child. Because of his disability, he has been bullied by children of the same age, but his temperament is the same as his father, loyal and honest......"

Niu Jinda knelt down with a plop, "Third master, the last general will not hide that you are old." If you weren't forced to be helpless, the last general wouldn't dare to disturb you, nor would you dare to break the rules of the champion. ”

"The last general wants to use the name of seeking medical treatment to let Xiaohu follow Hou Ye, even if he is a cow and a horse, and he learns a little bit, it will be enough to live in the future. The last one son is still a handicapped and will ...... in the future."

A famous warrior actually shed tears for his son, and Lao Li Yuan couldn't help but think of his youngest son who was different from ordinary people since he was a child.

waved his hand and motioned for Lao Wang to call Xiao Rui over.

After a while, Xiao Rui followed, looked at the scene in front of him, did not speak, but pressed Niu Xiaohu on the stone bench, asked him to take off his shoes and socks, and seriously helped him check his injuries.

"Tsk...... If the injury is serious enough, if half of the ball of the foot is missing, it will not delay the horseback walking. ”

"But you're almost left with one heel...... Being able to walk without crutches shows the strength of the will. ”

Niu Jinda knelt on his knees and pleaded: "Ask Lord Hou to be gracious and help Xiaohu ......"

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and hugged the other party, "Old Niu, what are you doing?" Why? Don't say that you and I have a friendship between robes and ze, even if you meet a stranger on the street seeking medical treatment, Xiao Rui will not ignore it. Get up. ”

Niu Jinda's eyes were full of tears, and he grabbed Xiao Rui's arms gratefully.

Xiao Rui smiled and looked back at Niu Xiaohu, who was nervous, "Boy, your disease is not very easy to treat!" If I can't do anything about it, you will be disabled for the rest of your life, are you afraid? ”

Niu Xiaohu shook his head firmly and said, "Don't be afraid." ”

"What do you think of your father's fear that you will be left on the streets with no food to eat in the future?" Xiao Rui continued to ask.

Niu Xiaohu hesitated for a moment and glanced at his father Niu Jinda, who was full of expectations.

Then he plucked up the courage to reply, "I don't want to come with my father, I don't want to watch my father bow his head and beg for help." My feet are injured, but I still have my hands, and I can't learn martial arts and horseback riding, but I can study and study, and even if I go back to my hometown to farm in the future, I won't go hungry on the streets. ”

"But my father didn't allow it, and I didn't want my parents to worry, so I came along."

Chai Shao patted Niu Jinda's shoulder with emotion: "Jinda, you gave birth to a good son." ”

Lao Li Yuan also praised: "Good ambition! ”

Xiao Rui smiled, "Okay, if your answer today is secretive and you don't dare to say anything in your heart, then I won't care about you." ”

"Boy, you can stay."

Yes?

Stay, stay?

Niu Jinda didn't seem to believe his ears, and pulled his son to kneel down again, but Xiao Rui grabbed him.

"It's okay to stay, not a student, not a patient, I'll take a good look at his feet to see if they can be saved."

"What? Master Hou, is Xiaohu's foot still saved? Niu Jinda said in surprise.

Xiao Rui shook his head and said, "No, it's impossible to grow new feet." I can make an identical prosthetic foot for him to attach to his left foot, so that he can walk almost like a normal person. ”

"Of course, this prosthetic foot is not easy to make, so this kid has to stay for a while, General Niu, if we don't see each other for two years, will we be reluctant?"

Yes? Not seeing each other for two years? Niu Jinda stood on the spot.

Chai Shao pushed him and reminded in a low voice: "Jinda, don't you thank Zang Feng soon?" He is leaving the child to teach for two years. ”

Yes? This......

Xiao Rui interrupted the other party's gratitude, pulled Niu Xiaohu and said: "Let's go, you guys are here just in time, today is my teacher's banquet, don't leave at noon, let's try my craftsmanship together, the whole fish banquet." ”

Out of school?

"Zang Feng, is there anything in this world that you won't have? Do you still need to be a teacher? Who is Master? Chai Shao was puzzled.

Lao Li Yuan said with a smile: "It's me who taught this kid fishing for a few months, and today he finally learned to become a teacher." ”
