Chapter 44 Teaching Examination
It's not that he has any prejudice against women, but the reason is actually himself.
He is now a young man with strong blood, and his body is also very strong, and he has been suffering in the city of immeasurable for a long time, and he will have all kinds of desires that ordinary people will have, and they will be even more intense.
I also know that I am not a saint who sits still, and in the dead of night, there are always some side thoughts. The woman in front of him is delicate and lovely, if he really does her master to teach swordsmanship, and get along every day, he will probably call himself an ape.
But whenever it comes to the relationship between children and daughters, there will always be distractions. He was still in danger, and it was not worth it if he was negligent. In the past, although I also wanted to find a woman to live my life in peace, I had to think about it after I had taken care of my own affairs, not when I was a teacher in someone else's home.
When the old man heard him say this, he smiled again: "The righteous man misunderstood, this is a little girl, who doesn't often live at home and does things in art. It is the dog that needs to be taught. ”
Then he said to the woman, "Chunxi, where's Chen'er?"
The woman hurriedly stood up and put down the small wooden knife in her hand: "I gave him some osmanthus candy just now, ran to the back to play, and asked me to repair the knife for him." Daddy, who is this?"
The old man was stunned: "I haven't asked the righteous man Gao's name." ”
"Under Li Bochen. Li Bochen smiled and saluted the woman. The woman also pursed her lips and smiled in return, and then said, "Daddy, I'll call him." ”
Holding a knife and a cotton skirt in one hand, he ran to the backyard in broken steps.
Li Bochen felt a little ashamed in his heart for a while, and smiled self-deprecatingly-he thought a lot when he saw the girl, but people only glanced at him and didn't look at it. But now she looks sloppy, and the girl from this kind of family doesn't show her disgust for herself, and she is already educated.
The old man smiled beside him: "Mr. Li, my surname is Tao, my name is Wenbao, and I am the director of Zhangcheng Pig Company." In my house, there are usually only me and the dog, and there is a handyman and a kitchen servant, which is very clean. After seeing the dog for a while, Mr. Li can teach him first. ”
He said this as if he had already agreed. But Li Bochen did feel a little more satisfied. The director of the pig shop in a city is a wealthy businessman with a face in the city, and he can probably talk to the officials in the city. is neither an official nor a worry-free public disturbance, his home is really a good place to hide.
But with such an identity, how could the people of the Kongming Society use force on him? It's really a bit incredible.
As he spoke, a little boy suddenly ran out of the backyard with a knife, bringing up a cloud of snow and mist. It looks like he is eight or nine years old, and he is born like a pink carving, with red lips and white teeth, which is very cute. But with a fierce expression on his face, he imitated the appearance of the Qiang people riding horses and holding knives, and while waving the knife in his hand, he shouted: "Wow, yes, where did you come from, come to Ben Shuai's house to cheat and cheat!"
Tao Wenbao hurriedly drank: "Chen'er, don't be rude!"
But there was more concern between his words, and there was a smile hidden between his eyebrows. Look at his age, he should be an old man, naturally baby.
He whispered to Li Bochen again: "Mr. Li, you see, it's really stubborn. ”
Li Bochen listened to this old man before, and he only felt that he was an old man with a cheerful and open-minded personality, as uninhibited as a martial artist. And he could see that his palm technique was actually a sword technique, and perhaps he had indeed practiced martial arts before.
But now listening to him, I feel that it is indeed in line with his identity as the director of Zhangcheng Pig Store - this little boy said that he "cheated on eating and drinking", which didn't sound like what a child should expect, most likely it was taught by the girl who ran into the backyard just now.
Maybe this family did invite charlatans in the past, and the girl saw that she described Luo Tuo and felt that she was also that kind of person. Tao Wenbao shouldn't have heard it, but he didn't say anything, and probably wanted to teach himself.
It's just, what can a child teach?
But since he was looked down upon, he had the intention of being strong, and only smiled faintly: "It's not in the way." ”
Then the little boy ran over with angry eyes, raised his knife and slashed. Seeing his knife, Li Bochen was slightly surprised. He was only eight or nine years old, and his sword skills were already quite good, at least much stronger than the young man in the alley before.
But he didn't dodge, and reached out with two fingers and quickly clamped it, clamping his blade. He had divine power, and he had taken the elixir, and the other party was still a child, so for a while, the wooden knife seemed to be caught by iron tongs, and no matter how hard the child tried, he couldn't pull it out.
Li Bochen also thought that this kid might be tricked when he saw this, and threw a knife to kick himself. Unexpectedly, after gritting his teeth and working harder, the child let go, clapped his hands and shouted: "Daddy, this master has the ability!"
Tao Wenbao also smiled: "You are so stubborn, I am afraid that the teacher will be angry with you if he has the ability." ”
When the boy heard this, he immediately bowed down and kowtowed: "The master is above, and he will be worshiped by the apprentice!"
Li Bochen was taken aback, and hurriedly helped him: "Get up quickly!"
When he was in the army, his subordinates also worshipped him, but they all wore armor and never knelt, and now he was the first to suffer from someone else's head.
The boy stood up, his forehead was covered with snow, and his eyes were round: "Master, when are you going to teach me knife skills?
Tao Wenbao stretched out his hand to wipe the snow from his forehead, and said with a smile: "The teacher always has to settle down to teach you, how can you be in such a hurry? Go, wash your face and add some clothes." ”
The boy didn't leave, just looked at Li Bochen: "Master, then do you teach me?"
Li Bochen glanced at Tao Wenbao and smiled: "Teach." Go ahead. ”
The boy ran to the backyard with a smoke, accidentally fell, and immediately jumped up again, like a little monkey.
When he ran away, Tao Wenbao smiled and sighed: "I also danced with knives and guns when I was young, and taught him some in the past few years, but after all, my talent is limited." Mr. Li's knife skills are much better than mine. ”
Listening to him admit the truth, Li Bochen was a little more relieved. After thinking about it for a while, I decided to stay at this house first. It's just that I also know that I can't stay for a long time - I stay for a month or two, and when I have saved enough money, I will find another place to live. He didn't want to affect the family like Ye Yinghong's caravan if something happened.
So he gave a salute and said, "Tao Gong, I don't hide it." I used to walk the rivers and lakes, and I also had old grudges, and I could stay for a few months, but I am afraid I couldn't stay for a long time. ”
Tao Wending smiled: "I was not born rich, I also walked in the sword bush in the early years. At first glance, I guessed that it should be so. But Mr. Li has a neutral temperament, open-minded and bold, and I think he should be a hero. Mr. Li doesn't dislike it, so please stay in the cold house. ”
Li Bochen felt that the old man and the child did have an appetite for him, so he hugged his fists and said, "Okay." ”
It was early in the morning when I saw Tao Wenbao, and by the time he settled down, it was already noon. His residence was in the west wing of the front yard, and although the furnishings in the house were not luxurious, they were also very exquisite. There is a flower pond in front of the west wing, and the plum is planted in the pond - it is the bush next to Tao Chunxi, the daughter of the Tao family. Although it blocks some sunlight, it is better to be private.
The handyman in the house was mute, about forty years old, but his sideburns were gray. I brought him a bucket of hot water and two changes of clothes.
Li Bochen sat and rested for a while, washed his hair with the bucket of water, took a bath, and then shaved his beard with Yaohou. He had already grown a short beard when he was in the city of Immeasurables, and now when he shaved it, he looked like a different person.
After doing this, I feel refreshed and refreshed from the inside out. He breathed a sigh of relief and walked out with the cold water to pour it out. But when I opened the door, I saw Tao Chunxi walking out of the gate with a small apricot yellow cloth bag.
The girl glanced at him and was stunned: "Are you ......?"
Then he covered his mouth and chuckled: "Oh, it's Mr. Li, his appearance has changed greatly, and the little woman didn't see it for a while." ”
