Chapter 5 Conversation between Master and Disciple
Three years did not make me and my master very unfamiliar. After I arrived at my temporary residence, I began to habitually boil water and make tea, and then served a cup of tea to Mr. Hui and his master.
Then he sat beside Huigener honestly.
The house I rented was not big, only two bedrooms and one living room. With the living conditions at that time, it was even more impossible to have air conditioners or something. A fan could not drive away the heat of summer. After taking a sip of tea, Mr. Hui curled his lips and said, "This quality of life is not good. Well, it's better to be a savage in the bamboo forest. What kind of tea is this? It's so unpalatable."
The master also took a sip of tea, then stared at me with his eyes squinted, and said, "Sanwaer, where are the tea leaves I left behind? Could it be that you, your kid, sold the things I left for you, including the tea leaves, because you didn't have money?"
This is my master, who spared no effort to damage me. Fortunately, I got used to it, and explained helplessly, "I packed up all the things you left me, even if it was a thread, and put them back to Sichuan, so that my parents could keep the tea leaves there."
The master was embarrassed, probably because he failed to successfully attack me. He was stunned for a long time before saying, "Don't find me a reason. After three years, you still drink this tea? Are you unable to maintain my excellent quality of life and buy some good tea?"
I was speechless. I am afraid that the tea you drink is hard to buy even if you have money, and it has excellent quality of life? I have seen you eat and drink freely, but I am the one who suffers from this with my master. I am too lazy to argue. Uncle Hui glanced at me proudly, and then proudly directed Hui Gen'er: "Go, cook two eggs for me?"
Huigener asked carefully: "Master, can you eat two?"
Uncle Hui waved his hand and looked generous: "Then you just eat two."
I was crying in my heart. Who was complaining about my poor quality of life just now? Who was it? Turning around and pretending to be generous with my eggs?
However, I dare not say this in person.
A few minutes later, Huigen'er and I were rushed to the kitchen, and Huigen'er cooked eggs. Without outsiders, I was another tragic cook.
An hour later, I prepared a table of dishes with sweat all over my head, and then respectfully poured a glass of wine for my master. For the first time, Mr. Hui also ordered a glass.
I was stunned and asked, "Mr. Hui, why do you want to drink too?"
Uncle Hui took a sip of wine and said, "Uh, I've been dead once, so don't care too much about some small details. Since I became a monk, I've been here for decades, and I've been thinking about drinking the most."
I found it funny and a little sad, so I picked up a piece of meat and asked Mr. Hui: "Do you eat meat?"
Uncle Hui's neck twitched, his eyes bulged, and then he said, "Sanwaer, do you dare to spend time?"
I put the meat into the master's bowl, and then said to Mr. Hui very seriously: "No, I really dare not. Actually, over the past three years, I have been worried about you and whether your injury has completely healed. I miss Master very much and you very much."
Uncle Hui was stunned, a hint of emotion flashed in his eyes, but soon, he slapped my glass on the head and said loudly: "You bully your embarrassment, don't you? Don't give me this trick."
I was slapped for no reason, and I was so scared that Huigener, who was eating eggs next to me, shrank her neck, but was accidentally stemmed by the eggs, and then I kept coughing. I pinched Huigener's face and said, "Slow down, I will buy you cake tomorrow."
Uncle Hui looked angry and shouted at me: "Don't you buy it?"
The master took a sip of wine with a sip of wine and said to me calmly: "I want to eat that kind, the new butter type, the kind that melts in the mouth. If you can't buy it, just wait for a beating."
I was speechless. I couldn't afford to offend anyone. I had to raise my hands over my head, look like I begging for mercy, and said, "Buy, buy, buy, buy, buy, buy."
———————————————————————————————
It was night, Hui Gen'er had already slept peacefully. Because Mr. Hui had just returned, this kid must sleep with his master, so there were only two people on the rooftop.
Summer nights are always hot, and I always like to sprinkle water on the rooftops and spread out cool mats to enjoy the cool. The difference is that I feel at ease with my master around today.
There are only a few stars in the sky. Unlike when we were in the bamboo forest, we always saw the stars in the sky. But with the master here, what is the same?
Master and I sat on the mat, and for a while, I took out a cigarette and handed it to Master, and said, "Master, I saw that you didn't bring a pipe with you, otherwise you would smoke a cigarette?"
"This kind of tobacco leaves are boring, not authentic, and not smoking." The master refused me without hesitation, paused for a moment, and then said to me: "I haven't seen you for three years. You have become much more addicted to smoking. You have learned all the bad habits and have never soaked the fragrant soup."
"Soaking in fragrance, Master, that's too luxurious. I can take it once a week, and I laughed. Anyway, I've been laying the foundation when I was a child, so it doesn't matter. I haven't given up the homework you asked for, and I have learned a lot of magic." I showed off to Master like a child.
I didn't ask what Master had done in the past three years. If Master wanted to say that he would tell me before leaving three years ago, if he didn't help, I would mention it just now, and he had no intention of saying anything, so I wouldn't ask.
I believe that the master will only love me and have no intention of harming me. If it is the day he thinks he can say it, I will tell me.
"You have learned a lot? You are still far from homework. You can't lose your homework. You know, skills can only be accumulated by time." The master said lightly, but then he said: "You should be better than mine, otherwise you wouldn't be able to escape from that village. Let me tell me in detail. This time I came back, and I went to your uncle Li's place first. I don't know much about it."
Of course, I didn't hide anything from my master, and told the master the whole story, including details. It was just that I was embarrassed to say it too in detail about Ruxue's feelings, so I just mentioned it a little.
After hearing everything, the master said to himself: "It's interesting, I treat my apprentice as feed to feed insects."
Then, the master didn't say much, and was silent for a while before saying to me: "In fact, our department has wanted to deal with this village for a long time. We originally wanted to delay it for a few years, but because of some very important things, we won't delay it anymore. This time, you will be more lucky than I expected to escape. Ruxue. There is a large part of the reason for your own progress, because of Gao Ning."
"Master, do you know that Gao Ning?"
"Do you think I am really a god and know everything? Gao Ning may be on the department's list. How could he take away an insect egg? He is afraid he took away something even more terrifying than an atomic bomb." The master sighed when he said this.
"Master, you seem to know a lot of things. Can you tell me in detail?" I really want to know what happened to this village and the bug. I think my master knows it.
The master stood up, took a few steps, and then said, "I will definitely tell you all this. You can prepare it too. At most, we will stay in Beijing for two days. We will set off to go to Yueyan Miao Village first, and then deal with the matter of Heiyan Miao Village. So, I didn't plan to hide it. In the past, I protected you too much because I thought I could accompany you for a long time."
Speaking of this, the master paused for a moment, but my heart was suddenly lifted. What does this mean? Will he leave?
The master waved his hand without letting me ask: "No matter where I am, are you still aware of it? Where I am, can you find me at any time, is it not the key to the problem. The key to the problem is that you have to be independent, and you have to shoulder some responsibilities. So, I want to make you independent."
Master’s words finally made me feel relieved.
But the master turned around and said to me with his hands on his back, "Please put the matters in the village aside first, I want to tell you about Ruxue now."
I didn't know what to say at once. Facing my master, it was really hard for me to speak about my feelings. I said a little embarrassedly: "Master, what's there to say about this? Ruxue said she doesn't like me, I."
"Look at your unreliable appearance. She doesn't like you. Can she save you with her own life? Can she release her natal Gu to save you? Do you know that in the eyes of Miao Girl, especially the Gu Girl, sometimes natal Gu is more important than her own life." The master glared at me.
"You said Ruxue likes me?" I couldn't believe it when facing a relationship that cared too much.
After all, Ruxue refused me so resolutely, and I don’t know why Ruxue liked me, she could save me even if she could do anything to the point of saving me.
"Yes, she likes you, you can also like her. You can be in love with her. There is nothing to escape from. Going to chase her and love her for some days is what you should give her. But just being together for some days, next depends on your choice and the choice of snow. You must know that sometimes, love is also a kind of respect, and you are." When the master said this, he seemed to recall some past events, sighed, and then there was a long silence.
"And what am I?" I suddenly became nervous.
The master looked at me and said, "I said it depends on your choice, that is, you must also choose. But remember, no matter what choice you make, the master will not interfere with your choice, that's it."
