Xiuxian: I have a dream space

Chapter 14 My fish has thorns!

Li Qingxuan just wanted to leave the yard right now, but he didn't dare to show anything unusual.

Facing Guanshi Zhao's question, he had no choice but to lower his head and said in a flattering tone, "Master Guanshi, when I came here, my uncle asked me to bring you some special products. I'm bothering you, my lord."

After speaking, he slowly put his hands into his arms, took out a dumpling wrapped in linen, and put his hands on top of his head.

"specialty?"

Manager Zhao chuckled, took a step forward, picked up the linen ball wrapped in silver, grabbed it casually, and then threw it back into Li Qingxuan's hand: "I have a heart, but I'm so old, I want these yellow and white things. It doesn't make any sense."

His sunken eyes glanced around Li Qingxuan's body, his satisfaction flashed, and he said lightly: "I think you are not very old, you are quite sophisticated in speaking, and you are also a smart person, do you want to have a future?"

Li Qingxuan's heart skipped a beat.

How can there be such a good thing in the world.

For no reason, the first time we met, the other party asked me if I wanted a future, no need to think about it, the other party must have a plan.

He is an eight-year-old boy, black and thin, and he is a miscellaneous apprentice, which shows that his family is poor.

One has no money, and the other has no beauty.

What can the other party plot against him?
In the eyes of others, I am afraid that he has nothing but his life.

Li Qingxuan's heart trembled, thinking of why he was able to come here.

Whether Yao Tian wants people or not is up to the apprentice in charge.

He was able to be arranged by Qian Duoduo because some time ago in Yaotian, an apprentice was unlucky and was bitten to death by a poisonous snake. Then the apprentice manager of Yaotian applied to them and asked for an apprentice to come over.
And this apprentice is Li Qingxuan!

"What are you thinking? Look up at me."

Zhao Guanshi's weak voice interrupted his thoughts.

Li Qingxuan raised his head in fear, glanced at Guanshi Zhao, and then quickly lowered his head, pretending to be at a loss: "Master Guanshi, I...I want a future, but I am afraid that I will disappoint you. In fact, my uncle taught me, I dare not lie to adults."

Needless to say, this Manager Zhao is not very scary except for his sunken eyes, which gives people a sense of gloom, and he is hunched over, with a skinny figure, and looks like an ordinary little old man.

"It's okay."

Zhao Guanshi shook his head: "What I value about you is your age. You are not old, you have no shape, and your words are clear, which shows that your brain is alive, so don't underestimate yourself."

He sighed.

"I am a man who believes in fate."

"I'm getting old, and I might not be able to sleep for a while. After living for so many years, I don't care if I die. The only thing I can't let go of is that all I have learned is wasted, so recently I want to find a successor to teach myself. I passed on my things, and it turned out that you appeared in front of me at this moment."

He stretched out his palm as old as bark, and touched Li Qingxuan's head: "Tell me, is this fate?"

"I've had eight lifetimes of bad luck, so I'm destined to be with you."

Li Qingxuan cursed inwardly, but had to cooperate with the other party to perform.

He controlled his body to tremble, raised his head excitedly, glanced at Guanshi Zhao, then bent over ninety degrees, and clenched his hands into fists: "Li Qingxuan pays homage to Master."

Zhao Guanshi looked at Li Qingxuan's sudden action, his eyes were astonished, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You are really clever, but where did you learn this weird apprenticeship?"

Li Qingxuan spared his head in embarrassment, and beat the snake with a stick, as if he wanted to confirm the relationship: "Hey, master, my apprentice's family is all farming, and I don't have much knowledge. That's what people who watch street performers call His master, he thought it was the same for apprenticeship, master, don't mind."

He just didn't want to kneel down.

People are knives, I am fish.

This is his last stubbornness.

"Forget it, I don't care about these empty etiquettes, but there is one thing you must remember clearly."

Manager Zhao waved his hand, expressing that he didn't mind.

Li Qingxuan hurriedly stood up: "Master, tell me."

"Don't let anyone know about your relationship with me!"

"what?"

Seeing Li Qingxuan's puzzled expression, Manager Zhao sighed: "It's all for your own good. As a teacher, I have offended some powerful enemies before, so I had to hide my name and hide in this wilderness. Those people are cruel. Expose, you and I are too close, you will definitely lose your life, and your family will be implicated!"

He touched Li Qingxuan's head: "If accepting you will harm you, then I would rather not accept you. So if you expose our relationship, I have no choice but to break this relationship and drive you away."

Fear flashed in Li Qingxuan's eyes, and he quickly said that he would remember it.

"From now on, come to me every morning and go to work in the afternoon, and tell the outside world that you paid me to learn to read, do you understand?"

Li Qingxuan nodded: "Yes, Master."

"Okay, you go back and rest."

Manager Zhao waved his hand and told him to leave.

Li Qingxuan saluted respectfully, opened the courtyard door and went out.

Guanshi Zhao looked at the courtyard door which was carefully closed, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, he walked to the fence again, and fed the chicken-like birds.

"Eat, eat, grow up early."

Outside the courtyard, the respect on Li Qingxuan's face faded, and he walked towards the farm canteen expressionlessly.

After half an hour.

He took two steamed buns, bid farewell to the busy Pharaoh, and returned to his residence.

"Hey, this old bastard really has a problem!"

Li Qingxuan lay paralyzed on the bed with a bitter expression on his face.

He knocked around the old king, and learned a lot of information about the apprentice who was bitten to death by a poisonous snake.

When Lao Wang said it, he was still a little regretful.

That apprentice, who was not very old, came here three years ago.

According to Lao Wang, the other party was an ambitious person, because not long after he came, the apprentice paid for Manager Zhao and learned Chinese characters for half a year.

These miscellaneous apprentices in the medicine field can read and write.

Because although their understanding and mastery of drugs will be much higher than that of apprentices in the county, if they want to be promoted to pharmacists in the future, they must be literate.

Because of the pharmaceutical process, there are many links that need to be recorded, and the handover also has a strict process.

Literacy is a must.

But to go to school, you have to pay tuition, let alone let the steward spend time teaching it.

Therefore, if you want to read and write here, the cost is not small.

According to Lao Wang, he has stayed here for more than 20 years, and there are no more than ten apprentices who spend money to learn to read. That's why he feels a little sorry for that apprentice who died in the mouth of a poisonous snake.

"My current encounter is almost the same as that unlucky child."

Li Qingxuan rubbed the center of his brows, feeling uncontrollably irritable.

He was already sure that Manager Zhao wanted his life, but he couldn't figure out the other party's purpose, and the other party felt like a poisonous snake to him, with goose bumps all over his body, probably not as weak as he looked on the outside.

After all, this is a world with martial arts.

"The apprentice in front had an accident for three years. I should be safe in the short term, but I must be cautious about what the old man taught."

Li Qingxuan began to think about whether there was any means of killing that he could manipulate.

His fish has thorns!

Thinking about it, tiredness welled up in my heart.

He rubbed the swollen eyebrows, and fell into a dream in a daze.
