The three years did not make me very alien from Master, and after arriving at my temporary residence, I began to habitually boil water, make tea, and then serve a cup of tea to Uncle Hui and Master. (You can find this site)

Then honestly sat next to Hui Gen'er.

The house I rented was not big, it was only two bedrooms and one living room, in terms of living conditions at that time, it was impossible to have air conditioning or anything like that, a fan could not drive away the summer heat at all, Uncle Hui took a sip of tea, and pouted and said: "This quality of life is not good, it is better to be a wild man in the bamboo forest, what kind of tea is this tea, it is difficult to drink." ”

Master also took a sip of tea, then stared at me with slanted eyes, and said, "Sanwa'er, what about those tea leaves I left?" Shouldn't you kid sell the things that Lao Tzu left you, including tea, because you don't have money? ”

This is my master, who spared no effort to hurt me, but fortunately, I got used to it, and I helplessly explained; "What you left me, even if it was a thread, I packed it up and put it back in Sichuan, so that my parents kept it, and the tea was there."

The master sneered, probably because he failed to hit me, and he took a long time before saying, "Don't make excuses for Lao Tzu, it's been three years, and you still drink this tea?" You don't have the ability to maintain Lao Tzu's excellent quality of life and buy some good tea? ”

I'm speechless, those teas you drink, I'm afraid it's hard to buy even if you have money, and the quality of life is excellent? It's not like I've never seen you eat and drink, but I'm always the one who suffers from these arguments with the master, and I'm too lazy to argue, Uncle Hui glanced at me very proudly, and then proudly commanded Hui Gen'er: "Go, boil two eggs for your forehead?" ”

Hui Gen'er asked very carefully, "Master, can you eat two?" ”

Uncle Hui waved his hand, looking very generous: "Then you can eat two." ”

I wanted to cry in my heart, who complained about my poor quality of life just now? Who is it, turning his head and pretending to be generous with my eggs?

However, I didn't dare to say it to my face.

A few minutes later, I and the equally bitter Hui Gen'er were driven to the kitchen, Hui Gen'er boiled eggs, and in the absence of outsiders, I was another tragic cook.

An hour later, I made a table of dishes with sweat on my head, and then respectfully poured a glass of wine for Master.

I was stunned for a moment and asked, "Uncle Hui, you are a great monk, why do you want to drink?" ”

Uncle Hui took a sip of wine, and then said, "I am a person who has died once, so I don't have to pay too much attention to some small details." From being a monk to now, for decades now, what I want most is to drink. ”

I felt funny and a little sad, so I took a piece of meat and asked Uncle Hui, "Then do you eat meat?" ”

Uncle Hui's neck stiffened, his eyes bulged, and then he said, "Sanwa'er, do you dare to entertain?" ”

I sandwiched the meat into Master's bowl, and then said to Uncle Hui very seriously, "No, I really don't dare. In fact, in the past three years, I have been very worried about you, worried about whether your injuries are completely healed, I miss Master very much, and I miss you very much. ”

Uncle Hui was stunned, and a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes, but soon, he slapped the wine glass on my head and said loudly: "You can't be lyrical when you bully, right?" Don't give your forehead a set of fleshy and numb. ”

I was slapped inexplicably, and I was so scared that the neck of Hui Gen'er, who was eating eggs next to me, shrank, but I was accidentally stalked by the egg, and then I kept coughing, I pinched Hui Gen'er's face and said, "Slow down, tomorrow brother will buy you a cake." ”

Uncle Hui looked angry again, and yelled at me: "You won't buy it?" ”

Master took a sip of wine and said to me very calmly, "I want to eat the new cream, the melt-in-your-mouth one." If you can't buy it, you'll just wait to be beaten. ”

I was speechless, I couldn't afford to provoke anyone, so I had to raise my hands above my head, begging for mercy, and said, "Buy, buy, buy, buy"

―――――――――――――― warm dividing line――――――――――――

It was night, Hui Gen'er had already slept peacefully, because Uncle Hui had just come back, this kid had to sleep with the master, so there were two people on the roof, the master and me.

Summer nights are always hot and dry, and I always like to sprinkle water on the roof and spread out a mat to cool off, but the difference is that I am very relieved to have Master by my side today.

There are only a few stars in the sky, unlike the days when we were building in the bamboo forest, where we could always see the stars in the sky, but with Master here, where is it not the same?

Master and I sat on the mat and were silent for a while, then I took out a cigarette and handed it to Master, saying, "Master, I see that you don't have a dry tobacco stick, otherwise you will smoke a cigarette?" ”

"This kind of tobacco leaf is boring, not authentic, not smoking." Master refused me without hesitation, paused, and then said to me, "I haven't seen you for three years, your kid has become a lot more addicted to smoking, and he has learned all his bad habits, and the fragrant soup has not been soaked." ”

"Soak in fragrant soup, Master, that's too extravagant, I can soak it once a week, I laughed. Anyway, it's past the days of laying the foundation when I was a child, so it doesn't matter. I didn't miss any of the homework you asked, and I learned a lot of tricks. "I was like a little kid showing off to Master.

I didn't ask Master what he had done in the past three years, but if Master wanted to say it, he would have told me before he left three years ago, no matter how bad it was, he would have mentioned it just now, and he didn't mean anything about it, so I wouldn't ask.

I believe that Master will only love me and not harm me in the slightest, and if the day comes when he thinks he can speak, I will tell me.

"Learned a lot? You're still far away, you can't lose your homework, you know, this kind of thing can only rely on the accumulation of time. The master said lightly, but then he said, "You must be a little stronger than my age, otherwise you would not have been able to escape from that stockade, tell me in detail." When I came back this time, I went to your Uncle Li first, and I didn't know too much about it. ”

Of course, I didn't hide anything from Master, and told Master all the ins and outs, including the details, but I was embarrassed to say too much about Ruxue's feelings, so I just mentioned it a little.

After listening to everything, the master said to himself, "Interesting, I used my apprentice as fodder for insects." ”

Then, the master didn't say anything, and after a moment of silence, he said to me, "Actually, our department has wanted to deal with this village for a long time, and originally wanted to delay it for a few years, but because of some very important things, it will not be delayed any longer. This time, you can escape, a little luckier than I expected, Ruxue, your own progress, and a large part of the reason, is because of that Gao Ning. ”

"Master, do you know that Gao Ning?"

"You think I'm really a god and know everything? I'm afraid this Gao Ning will be on the department's list, where did he take away an egg? He was afraid that he had taken something more terrible than an atomic bomb. Master sighed at this.

"Master, you seem to know a lot of things, can you tell me more about it?" I really want to know what happened to this village and the worm, and I think my master knows.

Master stood up and walked a few steps before he said, "I will definitely tell you all this, you should also prepare, stay in Beijing for two more days at most, we will set off, first go to Yueyan Miao Village, and then go to deal with the affairs of Heiyan Miao Village, so I have no intention of hiding it from you." In the past, I was too protective of you, because I thought I could be with you for a long time."

Speaking of this, the master paused, but my heart was suddenly lifted, what do you mean by this, will he still leave?

Master waved his hand without allowing me to ask: "Where I am is not the most important question, do you still realize it?" Where I am, whether you can find me at any time is not the key to the problem, the key to the problem is that you have to **, you have to shoulder some responsibilities. So, I'm going to make you **. ”

Master's words finally put my heart at ease.

But the Master turned to me with his hands behind his back and said; "Put aside the matter of the stockade for now, I want to talk to you about Ruxue now."

I didn't know what to say all of a sudden, facing Master, it was really difficult for me to open my mouth to talk about my feelings, I said a little curtly: "Master, what is there to say about this, Ruxue said she doesn't like me, I"

"Look at your useless appearance, she doesn't like you, can she save you with her own life? Can you not hesitate to release your natal Gu to save you? Do you know that in the eyes of Miao Nu, especially Gu Nu, sometimes the natal Gu is more important than her own life. Master glared at me.

"You said Ruxue she likes me?" In the face of the feelings that I care about too much, no one can do it without suffering from gains and losses, and no one can achieve complete self-confidence, I can't believe it.

After all, Ruxue rejected me so resolutely, and I don't know why Ruxue likes me, to the extent that she doesn't hesitate to save me.

"Yes, she likes you, you can like her, you can be happy with her, there is nothing to escape from this. To chase her, to love her for some days, is what you should give her. But just a few days together, and then, it's up to you to choose, and the snow to choose. You know, sometimes, love is also a kind of respect, and you," Master said this, as if he remembered something from the past, sighed, and then there was a long silence.

"And I, what?" I suddenly became nervous.

Master looked at me and said, "I said, it depends on your choice, which means that you have to choose. But, you remember, no matter what choice you make, Master will not interfere with your choice, and that's it. ”
