After Lu An walked out of the wine shop, his face instantly improved, and he spat out a mouthful of wine.

As he walked, he thought about the information he had just learned, and sighed softly, it seemed that this apprentice had been settled.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the alley, he saw Xue Nian sitting on the ground.

When Xue Nian saw Lu An coming out, he hurriedly got up with a smile on his face, but the whole person was a little restrained, his hands were moving around, and he didn't know how to put it.

"Why didn't you go back?" asked Lu An.

"Since I brought the master, I must bring it back. Xue Nian scratched his head, and his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit.

When Lu An saw this smile, his heart warmed, and he unconsciously touched his head and said with a smile: "Let's go, then let's go back." ”

Xue Nian was touched by Lu An, and suddenly the whole person became cheerful, and he jumped in front of him.

Lu An looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh.

The two didn't say anything all the way and wandered back.

Xue Nian brought Lu An back to the door, then bowed respectfully to Lu An and said, "Master, rest well today, you must win tomorrow!"

Lu An smiled slightly again and replied: "Don't be so restrained, we are friends now, and the age difference is only a few years old." ”

Xue Nian stubbornly shook his head and replied: "Although I haven't read a book, there is a truth that I still understand, I have heard the four words respect for teachers and respect for the Tao." ”

Lu An nodded, "Then let's have a drink together?"

Xue Nian's face was happy, but he still squirmed and asked in a low voice, "But I don't know how to drink?"

Lu An smiled: "Husband, how can you not drink? Let's go, I'll take you to open meat today." ”

After speaking, Lu An directly pulled Xue Nian in.

took out a few small dishes that he had just bought on the road, set them up, and poured a pot of sorghum wine that he had snatched from Lao Xiao.

Since Xue Nian came in, he looked restless, watching Lu An set the dishes and pouring wine there, but he didn't know how to intervene.

Lu An poured Xue Nian a glass of wine, then poured himself a glass, and then looked at Xue Nian quietly.

Xue Nian was uncomfortable, holding the glass of wine in his hand, he looked at Lu An, then picked it up and sniffed it, his nose shrank, his brows tightened, and he looked up at Lu An again.

Lu An raised his hand and motioned for Xue Nian to have a drink.

Xue Nian took a deep breath and slammed it in, and then his expression was very struggling, and his whole face was distorted.

"Swallow it. Lu An said.

Xue Nian held his breath and swallowed, breathing a sigh of relief, and then his expression directly stretched out happily, and then changed again, feeling like his throat was being burned, he involuntarily spit out his tongue, sighed, and shook his head.

After slowing down for a long time, Xue Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief and let out a long breath, but after this cup, his face had already become ruddy.

Lu An smiled at the corner of his mouth as Xue Nian drank this glass of wine and asked, "How do you feel?"

Xue Nian shook his head, frowned and replied: "It's too choking and spicy, it's just a little hard to swallow, but after drinking it, my body is warm and comfortable." ”

Lu An nodded, poured another glass of wine for Xue Nian, and said, "Drink slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”

Xue Nian took the wine glass and nodded.

Lu An also took a drink, then looked at Xue Nian, whose face was flushed, and asked, "Why do you want to worship me as a teacher so much?"

When Xue Nian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly: "Because of what the master did, I think it's right!"

"That's right?" asked Lu An puzzled.

"That's right, that's right, what I said that time made me think that the soldier should be what the master said, a person who is as timid as a mouse should not be a soldier, if I have this ability, I will also teach them a hard lesson. Xue Nian replied straightly.

"Oh, that's the reason?" asked Lu An a little incredulous.

Xue Nian nodded, "Yes, although I haven't had much contact with the master, but judging from the past few days, the master has a good heart, is very organized in life and work, and has his own scale in his heart, doing things fairly, being peaceful, and decisive, this scale is exactly what I don't have, and the master is so young and strong, he will definitely become a big man like Yan Qingyan in the future, hehe." ”

Lu An nodded, did not continue to ask this question, but raised his wine glass and touched it with Xue Nian, and the two of them drank it all.

After Xue Nian drank two glasses of wine, even his eyes were a little red, and even his tongue began to flutter a little, and he burped from time to time, Lu An picked up his chopsticks and motioned to eat something.

Xue Nian sandwiched two chopsticks dishes, and then suddenly pointed to the steamed buns on the table with his fingers, and asked puzzledly: "Master, why do you like to eat steamed buns so much?"

"What about you, what do you like to eat?" Lu An did not answer, but asked such a question instead.

Of course, if I'm as good as the master, then I'll definitely eat enough fish and meat every day, and I won't eat steamed buns, what's so delicious about steamed buns. Xue Nian replied directly without thinking.

Lu An nodded, did not refute, and asked another question, "Then why do you think I like to eat steamed buns instead of eating big fish and meat?"

Xue Nian held his chopsticks, thought for a while, and then replied: "Maybe this steamed bun is very meaningful to the master, and it just so happens that the master is not tired of eating, just like me, although I don't like to eat steamed buns, but I don't hate it either, of course, it is also possible that the master used to eat big fish and meat, and then fell in love with this steamed bun, hehe." ”

Lu An nodded after hearing this, and replied, "That's right, what about you, is there anything particularly meaningful to you?"

Xue Nian smiled and replied: "I didn't have it before, but now I may have it." After saying that, he raised his glass and shook it.

Seeing this, Lu An smiled dumbly.

Xue Nian raised his glass with both hands and toasted Lu An with a glass of wine, and Lu An touched it lightly and drank it all.

"Master, are you willing to take me as an apprentice now?" Xue Nian asked eagerly.

Lu An shook his head.

"Why, did I do something wrong?" Xue Nian asked unwillingly.

"It's not that you're wrong, it's that I'm not qualified enough. Lu An replied truthfully.

"Why?, then why can Gu Yan?" Xue Nian asked.

"Gu Yan, he is not my apprentice himself, he is the apprentice of one of my elders, this time I went out, it was the elder's entrustment, let him learn something with me, I can't refuse, so I agreed, so he is not my apprentice." Lu An explained.

After hearing this, Xue Nian was immediately happy, and said happily: "So, I am the founding disciple of the master. ”

Lu An glanced at Xue Nian, and replied lightly: "It's not okay to be my apprentice now, but it doesn't mean that I can't, I can accept you as an apprentice, but this master is named, and when you find a more suitable master in the future, you can worship him as a teacher." ”

Xue Nian knelt down directly and said: "The apprentice visits the master, he is a master for one day and a father for life, even if there are more powerful people who want to accept me as an apprentice in the future, I will not agree." ”

Lu An helped Xue Nian up and continued: "Now you think so, it doesn't mean that it will be the same in the future, now you don't have enough knowledge, and after you experience some things in the future, you will feel that I am actually a very ordinary person, not as chic as you imagined, and not as strong as you think, but since you have this idea now, then I still have to say some things, if you do something bad in the future, I will definitely not let you go, and I will definitely wipe you out with my own hands." ”

Xue Nian immediately nodded and replied: "If I really do the murder and arson, I don't need the master to do it, I will apologize for my own crimes." ”

Lu An nodded, "Xue Nian, I don't know what kind of person you will become in the future, now you happen to be in a troubled era again, although the northern realm looks monolithic, but it is very likely that it is not stable, so don't follow the crowd in the future." ”

"What do you mean, master, won't you let me follow you?" Xue Nian asked puzzled.

Lu An nodded, "It's useless for you to follow me, I can't teach you anything, and I'm not strong enough now, you should continue to be in the army in the past few years, and when the time comes, I'll talk to Lord Yan and let you go through the training for a while." ”

Xue Nian hesitated for a while, but saw that Lu An's face was very serious, so he could only nod.

"Xue Nian, do you think it's comfortable to live as a good person or as a bad person?" Lu An asked coldly.

Xue Nian was stunned for a long time, his eyes kept flickering, and then he suddenly replied coldly: "It's comfortable to be a bad person." ”

Lu An was very surprised by this answer, and asked puzzledly, "Why?"

"Because good people don't live long, but bad people live long. Xue Nian said with a cold look in his eyes.

Lu An looked at the trace of hatred in Xue Nian's eyes, and did not refute, it seems that he has encountered a lot of things at a young age, Lu An is also very interested and did not continue to ask about this matter, the knot in his heart can not be solved in a few words, and then asked softly: "Then do you think I am a good person or a bad person?"

"The master must be a good person. Xue Nian reacted very quickly and said.

"Oh, then you mean I won't live long?" Lu An asked with a smile.

Xue Nian hurriedly waved his hand and said no, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not right, and he immediately shook his head again, with a tangled face.

Lu An looked at Xue Nian, who was confused by himself, and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't tease you, I'm definitely not a good person, because there is too much blood on my hands, but I can't talk about bad people, because I haven't done anything bad to lose my conscience, just an ordinary person, do you know what it means?"

Xue Nian nodded and shook his head as if he didn't understand.

"Actually, I don't understand it myself, hahaha. Lu An suddenly burst out laughing.

Xue Nian looked at the master in front of him with an inexplicable look, feeling a little weird, I don't know how to describe it, it feels like it's too casual, and the side I saw before is completely opposite, this sudden change even made him a little unaccustomed, but he felt a trace of closeness, this long-lost feeling is really good.

"Xue Nian, do you want to know how I spent my time when I was a child? And there is the story of this steamed bun. Lu An said suddenly on a whim.

Xue Nian hurriedly nodded excitedly, with a curious expression.

Lu An immediately took a sip of wine, and then told Xue Nian something with a smile on his face, and Xue Nian listened very seriously, his face was full of admiration, fear, and incredible, and then he couldn't stop nodding his head, and laughed twice from time to time.

The two of them drank like this until late at night.

Lu An looked at Xue Nian, who was sleeping on the table, and his thoughts drifted into the distance all of a sudden.

"Master Jiang, now I finally know what you expected from me at that time, let you down, for more than a year, I haven't finished reading the book you gave me, and I haven't understood the truth in this book, let alone your expectation of me. Read a lot of books, walk slowly, think twice, and talk carefully. ”

"If you can't beat others, you have to be reasonable, otherwise it's really a bit embarrassing for you, but don't worry, although I haven't become what you want, I will definitely teach this young man according to the requirements you gave me, and I will never let him become a so-called hero, let alone a so-called devil." ”

"And in the future, I will definitely read more, to be a reader, to reason with people, if it doesn't make sense, then use a sword to reason, holding a book in my hand, carrying a sword on my back, I will definitely be able to support the backbone of our readers, so that I will never let the beard bend again, hehe, I don't know how you are doing now, and I came out to see this Jianghu, as you said, the more you look at it, the more exciting, this person is all kind, this thing is all kind, very lively. ”

......

The next day.

Xue Nian, who had been asleep all night, was pierced by the sun, opened his eyes dimly, drooped his eyelids, and his face was clouded.

"Awake?" Lu An was eating steamed buns on the side.

Xue Nian nodded.

"Come over for breakfast. Lu An said.

Xue Nian hurried over, felt that his stomach was empty, picked up a steamed bun and gnawed it.

"Master, you must win today!" Xue Nian suddenly said in a voice.

Lu An smiled and replied, "It's okay if you can't beat others, just don't be ashamed." ”

Xue Nian didn't understand what this meant at all, and he looked suspicious.

Lu An looked at Xue Nian who was in the circle, and then changed his statement, "Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, it's okay if you lose, just win it back next time." ”

Xue Nian immediately nodded and said with a smile: "I often hear our lieutenant general say this, but I always say after losing, don't be ashamed, or the master is smart, just say it now, it's not a shame to lose, hehe." ”

Lu An glanced at him, and then he had cold blood on his back and a meteoric iron sword on his waist.

Open the door.

"Well, the sun is just right today!"
