ghost craftsman

Chapter 79 Formal Apprenticeship
All of us sat in the room and stared at each other. No one could tell why. Even the three brothers of the Xu family said that they just wanted to build three houses.

I asked them why it was necessary to build a mansion, since it was obviously a private house.

Boss Xu explained to me that his parents liked to live in a big house, and they liked to bask in the sun before they were alive, so they built three houses.

I asked Mr. Xu again what happened to the dead body in his house.

He said that he was only responsible for the money to build the house, and he didn't know anything about other things.

When I thought about it, I was right, the three brothers of the Xu family spent most of their time doing business outside, and building a house did not happen overnight, so it was reasonable that they knew very little about it.

Their words made the whole thing even more mysterious and mysterious, and even made me feel powerless.

In the end, all of us figured it out, and since we couldn't understand this matter, we could only demolish one of the houses, so as to break the three houses into a desired posture.

The three brothers of the Xu family discussed and finally decided to demolish the house of Xu Laosan, and Xu Laosan and Xu Laosan would take out a sum of money as compensation for Xu Laosan.

To this, Xu Laosan had no objection, saying that he built the house purely for the sake of face.

I understand what he means, and this is also a reasonable thing. Like our three brothers in the countryside who build houses, they usually build them together.To put it bluntly, two of the three brothers have built new houses, and the remaining one has to build a new house no matter what.

It was agreed that Qin Laosan would be responsible for calling the forklift, and I would be responsible for checking the changes in the other two houses.

After we discussed all this, the master came out with a sandalwood crutch, and said as he walked: "We work as ghost craftsmen, and we pay attention to handling the whole matter at the least cost. If we just demolish Mr. Xu like this San’s house, outsiders thought we ghost craftsmen were incapable.”

Hearing this, I walked over quickly, supported the master, and helped the old man to the table, and asked him, "But, if the house is not demolished, the whole situation will be deadlocked, and no one can tell what all this is about." what happened."

The old man glared at me, "That's because you are incompetent, no wonder others."

"Do you always have a way?" I asked quickly.

He looked up at me without saying a word, then glanced at the other people around him, and finally stopped his eyes on Zhang Zhishan, nodded at Zhang Zhishan, and said, "Xiaoshan, thank you for your hard work."

Hearing this, I immediately understood that the master really knew Zhang Zhishan, and was about to speak, when he heard Zhang Zhishan say from the side, "Master Liu, I have already finished the matter of greeting you. Is your favor paid off?"

The master smiled, "Young man, what happened back then can be paid off with just a few words. You take the old man's favor too lightly!"

That Zhang Zhishan smiled awkwardly, and said, "Master Liu, that's not what I mean, the main reason is that I have something to do here, I have to go back to Guangdong, you..."

Before he finished speaking, the master gave up and said, "I have an idea for you. My apprentice is often bullied. I want him to learn some kung fu from you. Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you." you."

Speaking of this, the master paused, and said in a low voice: "It's just that the old man doesn't have the sense to speak properly, if one day you tell outsiders that your master is a villain who doesn't believe in his words, I hope my little brother Haihan will be kind. "

After finishing speaking, the master sighed and said to himself: "People, when you get old, you can't control your own mouth. It's very sad to think about it."

As soon as the words came out, Zhang Zhishan's face changed, and he stared at the master strangely for a long time, and then slowly said: "Master Liu, if you say that, you will be disrespectful."

"Identity?" The master shook his head, "The old man has already stepped into the Palace of the King of Hades with one foot, so what's the use of this identity?"

"Isn't it difficult for you to force others? You also know that my kung fu should not be passed on to the outside world, and your apprentice is not suitable for practicing martial arts." Zhang Zhishan said.

"Really?" The master gave him a deep look, "Liu Bang back then was just a local ruffian, who would have thought that he would become emperor in the future? Zhu Yuanzhang was just a beggar monk back then, who would have expected him to be a great Ming?" The founding emperor of the dynasty? And the apprentice of this old man, why do you conclude that he is not suitable for martial arts?"

After saying this, the master glanced at me, I was in a daze at the time, the main reason was that the master was very fierce to me on weekdays, but now he was afraid that I would be bullied, so he specially asked someone to teach me martial arts. Humane.

Seeing that I was in a daze, the master gave me a vicious look, and said sharply: "Why are you in a daze, quickly kneel down and worship the master."

"Ah!" I exclaimed, it was too fast.

"No, no, absolutely not." Zhang Zhishan said quickly, "Master Liu, this is absolutely impossible, we..."

Before he finished speaking, the master raised the crutch in his hand and threw it down on the popliteal sockets of my feet. My legs softened and I immediately knelt down. Then I heard the master say: "Xiaoshan, my apprentice has given me You kneel down, if you still don't want to teach him, it's a slap in the face of the old man. And the old man doesn't have any hobbies in his life, he just likes to talk to outsiders about his youth, especially the past of some martial arts practitioners. "

I finally understood that the old master was forcing Zhang Zhishan to accept me as an apprentice, and Zhang Zhishan's master guessed that there was something in the master's hands.

This made me very embarrassed, and I thought it was too much for the master!

However, thinking of being able to learn Zhang Zhishan's kung fu, I didn't say a word. Maybe it's like what my brother said at the beginning, if you want to survive in this society, you must first learn to be treacherous. If you are not treacherous, you can only be bullied.

And Zhang Zhishan listened to the master's words, showing embarrassment on his face, squeaked for a long time, but didn't hold back a word.

"Don't call me the third master!" Seeing me standing there in a daze, the master raised the crutch in his hand again and hit me on the back.

I hurriedly kowtowed to Zhang Zhishan, "Third master, please accept my apprentice's bow."

As soon as the words were finished, the master handed me a cup of tea like a magic trick, which meant that I would serve Zhang Zhishan tea.

Where did I dare to hesitate, I quickly took the teacup and handed it to Zhang Zhishan.

That Zhang Zhishan didn't seem to want to pick it up, but he heard the master muttering to the three brothers of the Xu family, "Xiao Xu, I told you that when I was in Guangdong, I met a person, that person..."

"Master Liu, why don't I take him in? I hope you will show some morals about my family teacher's incident back then." Zhang Zhishan must have been in a hurry, so he quickly opened his mouth. It is estimated that he dared not speak out.
