Since knowing that the leader of the Qinglong Gang came to Miao Village, the woodcutter couple is like a great enemy. All the apprehension was written on his face.

The woodcutter didn't say a word, sat by the fire and slowly roasted the tobacco leaves, wrapped a roll of mountain tobacco in a long copper tobacco stick, walked outside and squatted on the stone by the patio, sucking it up, looking in the direction of Miao Palace, not knowing what to think.

His daughter-in-law was cooking, and slowly took a piece of old bacon and put it on the fire to burn the skin, her eyes were staring at the bacon, but she was in a trance, and the oil from the bacon drippeds quickly ignited in the fire, and she didn't seem to see it.

"Sister-in-law, it's burnt!" Ume called out to her.

"Oh!" she came back to her senses, and hurriedly sandwiched the old bacon with tongs and soaked it in the water.

All these words are in my eyes. What is it that makes the woodcutter's daughter-in-law so afraid?

"No matter what it is, since you encounter it, you must help them. Mo Yan thought to himself

As if he had made a great decision, the woodcutter puffed out a puff of smoke, spat vigorously on the ground, got up and went into the house, and walked up to his daughter-in-law.

His daughter-in-law was washing the old bacon for a while.

"Sister Fang, let's go immediately, maybe we can leave. The woodcutter said to his daughter-in-law.

"Where are you going?" his daughter-in-law looked up at him blankly.

"It's better to go anywhere than to sit still. The woodcutter said.

"He won't give up, or you will take the young man away, and I will go back with him to kill or kill him. His daughter-in-law said.

"No, have you forgotten our oath at that time, and you don't want to be born on the same day of the same year, but you want to die on the same day of the same year!" the woodcutter suddenly became excited.

"Alas, Brother Mu, I hurt you, if I don't ...... at that time You won't get to where you are today, you might as well be your ......," his daughter-in-law said, shedding tears.

"Don't say that, Sister Fang, I never regret my decision. I've been suffering from you all these years. The woodcutter said as he crouched down and gently stroked his daughter-in-law's head.

The two were immersed in the past, but they were confused by their conversation.

Even Xiao Tao Yao stood quietly and listened. The woodcutter looked back and took his daughter in his arms.

Xiao Tao Yao was infected by the tense atmosphere, and cried out with a "wow": "Dad!

"Don't cry when you're young!!" the woodcutter picked up his daughter and coaxed him. The more Xiao Tao Yao cried, the more sad he became, and the louder he cried. It took a while to stop crying, and she fell asleep on her father's shoulder.

The woodcutter carried her in and put her on the bed to sleep, and came out and bowed deeply to Mo Yan: "Childe, I have something to ask for." ”

Mo Yan hurriedly sat down and saluted: "Brother Tao doesn't have to be polite, if you have any orders, just say that as long as I can do it, I will not allow it." ”

The woodcutter gave another salute and said: "I am afraid that this calamity will not escape the death of the couple, if we have three long and two short, we must ask the son to take my daughter as an apprentice, teach her martial arts, so that she will not be bullied when she grows up." ”

Mo Yan didn't expect it to be this request, he had never considered accepting apprentices. Although he has already taught a very good apprentice, that is, his younger brother Moyu. Mo Yu's martial arts were all taught by him, but that was not a true apprentice.

Mo Yan paused for a moment.

If you were to teach my daughter, it would be ten times better than a contemptible couple? The woodcutter knelt in front of Mo Yan with a bang.

"Ask the son to be fulfilled!" His daughter-in-law had already washed the bacon and was cutting it, and when she saw that she was so busy, she put down the kitchen knife and knelt down.

Mo Yan hurriedly said: "Hurry up, two of you, please get up! Since you look up to me as a crippled person so much, I, Mo someone, will definitely live up to the trust, no matter whether you are dead or alive from today on, your daughter is my apprentice." ”

"Thank you, Childe!" "Thank you, Childe!" The woodcutter and his wife were so grateful that they kowtowed again and again.

"Congratulations on your good work!" said Ume.

"I'm afraid you have a share too!" Mo Yan looked at her and smiled slightly.

The implication: I am the master, and you are the master!

Everyone can understand it! Wu Mei blushed and argued forcefully: "What does it matter to me that you accept apprentices!"

..................

The lunch is very simple, a garlic sprout fried old bacon, fried dried potato chips, and a sauerkraut and red bean soup.

Mo Yan agreed to accept Tao Yao, and the woodcutter couple seemed to be much more relaxed.

The woodcutter took out a jar of wine and said: "This is the bamboo leaf green that I have collected for several years, and I have not been willing to drink it, today is my daughter's apprenticeship day, so I will take it out and drink it, if I don't drink it, I am afraid that I will die in the future." ”

His daughter-in-law picked up her daughter from the bed, and Xiao Taoyao heard that after she wanted to worship her eldest brother as a teacher to learn kung fu, others would not be able to snatch her things, but she did not cry or make trouble, and obediently knelt on the ground to kowtow to Mo Yan three times, and toasted three glasses of wine, even if she officially became Mo Yan's apprentice.

"I can't call me big brother in the future, I have to call Master, you know?" said the woodcutter.

"Yes, Master!" Tao Yao immediately exclaimed.

"Hey!" Mo Yan hurriedly agreed.

Wu Mei took back a gold bracelet that could be stretched and shrunk and handed it to Mo Yan, "Master shouldn't give the apprentice a welcome gift!"

"I'm ashamed! The salute coils all fell on the White Lotus Manor, and there was no name on the body. Or are you thoughtful. Double the amount in the future. Mo Yan took the bracelet and put it on Xiao Taoyao, and shrunk it to just the right size.

"Who wants you to pay it back?" said Ume in disgust.

"Yes, there are some things that I can't pay back with money, and I can't pay them back for the time being, so I won't mention it yet, anyway, the rest of my life is very long, so take your time." Mo Yan said with a slight smile.

Ume's face was red all the way to the base of her ears.

..................

Everyone raised their glasses and accepted the apprentice with He Moyan, the woodcutter and his wife put down the burden in their hearts, their faces were no longer full of gloom, and even his daughter-in-law raised her glass and toasted everyone with a glass of wine.

After drinking a few large glasses of wine, it was like drinking water, and his face did not change. Everyone couldn't help but secretly admire her drinking. In fact, almost all the women in Miao Village can drink.

"Today's wine just has a meaning, just drink it in moderation. Mo Yan said, although he didn't know what happened to the woodcutter's family, but he knew that it must be a very tricky thing, otherwise the two couples would not have the intention of taking care of the orphan in advance.

Most people drink, once they drink, they can't control the wind, and when they have drunk enough, they are basically drunk, it's okay, let him sleep and wake up, if something happens, there is no trick.

Now that the woodcutter's family is a big enemy, it is not suitable to drink more, so Mo Yan spoke out to stop it.

The woodcutter understood the meaning of Mo Yan, raised his wine glass and said, "Childe is reasonable! I will last toast you with another glass, I am afraid that after today, it will be impossible again...... Maybe ......" said and choked up.

Everyone felt a little sad and silently raised their glasses......

Suddenly, there was a burst of barking dogs outside the house.

The barking of the dog is a sign of a living person.

The woodcutter's face immediately changed, "I'll take a look!"
