I passed out due to excessive blood loss. When I woke up, I was already lying on the earthen bed at Mr. Ye's house.
Mr. Ye was sitting not far from me. When I saw Mr. Ye, I was happy at first, but then felt sad in my heart. After so many years, does Mr. Ye still remember that he saved a child in Abacus City? Do you still remember your agreement with me?
Mr. Ye seemed to have read my thoughts: "We meet again. My name is Ye Sanqi. I said that if I see you again and save you one more time, I will accept you as my disciple. Are you still willing to worship me as my disciple?" Teacher?"
"You should think about it before you answer."
I struggled to sit up and touched my wrist. Ye Sanqi took out my money bag: "Are you looking for this?"
When I took the money bag, I discovered that something had leaked from the corner of the bag. Except for the one yuan that someone tipped me when I delivered the food box, there wasn't even a big penny in it.
I could only take out the one yuan, hold it in front of Ye Sanqi's eyes with both hands, and said incoherently: "I have no name, they all call me Xiaoqi... Mr. Ye, this is my apprenticeship ceremony... I originally had some Money, not... Mr. Ye, don’t dislike it."
Ye Sanqi confiscated my apprenticeship ceremony and asked me to kowtow to him, so I was not considered his disciple.
I held the one yuan in my hands, and my heart was still pounding - this apprenticeship ceremony was too little. The greater the master's ability, the more important the apprenticeship ceremony will be. Mr. Ye's ability is so great, and my one yuan is definitely not enough!
I have heard of it before: someone came to the door to become a disciple, but was kicked out because the apprenticeship ceremony was not enough, and the apprenticeship ceremony he brought was thrown away on the street.
People watching the show won’t laugh at the master, they will only laugh at the apprentice. If you dare to become an apprentice without money, isn’t that just a waste of money?
But this is all I can take out.
As if I had done something wrong, I lowered my head and did not dare to look at Ye Sanqi, for fear that he would slap my one yuan away.
Ye Sanqi took the money from my hand and put it solemnly in his pocket: "I accept your apprenticeship gift. From now on, I am your master."
"You don't have a name, just follow my surname of Ye! You are the person sent back by Jinglonglang. From now on, you will be called Ye Jinglong."
That day, Ye Sanqi accepted my apprenticeship gift, and the dollar stayed in his close-fitting pocket for many years and never left it. He said, that is the testimony of our relationship as master and disciple.
That day, I also had a name - Ye Jinglong. I am no longer a rootless duckweed, a lonely soul without an owner.
That day was March 21st, which was also what I later recognized as my birthday.
When I first arrived at Ye Sanqi's house, I was still a little afraid of strangers, and I always felt embarrassed to live and eat at his house for free.
When people take in apprentices, they treat them like little laborers, giving you food to eat without even asking whether you have eaten enough.
Ye Sanqi didn't let me do anything. He cooked the rice and brought it to me directly. Seeing that I didn't dare to pick up the vegetables, he directly put the pot in front of me and said, "Open it and eat. It's enough."
"Since I have accepted you as my apprentice, you will be like my son. It is natural for a son to eat his father. There is no need to hold back. Although I only have simple food here, I can't starve you."
Ye Sanqi cooks fish and meat for me every now and then. How can you call me a simple meal? The more he said this, the more embarrassed I became, but I couldn't stop him from cooking delicious food. I couldn't stop after a few bites.
Ye Sanqi probably saw what I was thinking, so he told me: "If you really can't stay idle, just help me wash clothes and clean the house."
"When you recover from your injuries, I'll think about what to teach you?"
"Yeah!" I felt relieved when I heard that there was something to do.
Ye Sanqi didn't teach me anything right away, and I wasn't surprised. At that time, masters had to keep a secret from their disciples. Even if they really regarded their sons as disciples, they had to see whether the disciples were filial and filial before deciding whether to teach them everything they had.
After I stayed there for three or four days, I felt that my injuries were almost healed, so I started to help Ye Sanqi with the work. He refused to let me do the work at first, but then he saw that I couldn’t take any more time, so he just grabbed a bag in the drawer. Putting the money into my hand: "If you can't sit still, go buy some food on the street. Buy what you like to eat. Keep the rest of the money to buy something you like."
I was stunned when I looked at the money in my hand. I have never taken so much money in my entire life. Ye Sanqi just gave me the money? Wherever he puts his money, doesn't he avoid me?
In the past, when he was in the gang, even his woman didn't know where Gao's buying money was.
Ye Sanqi isn't afraid, I gave his money away?
I took the money and walked out in a daze. After wandering around the street for a long time, I realized that I had been taken to Beixi Town in the northeast by people from the White Fish Gang.
The town got its name because there is a Cup of Rhinoceros Lake that is more than ten steps wide and looks like a ram's horn cup. It is said that the Cup of Rhinoceros Lake was named by Emperor Yongzheng himself.
Five years ago, Ye Sanqi opened a medical clinic here, which became famous in Beixi Town.
When I heard others talking about Ye Sanqi's fame, I felt proud at first, but then I realized something was wrong. Why are those people looking at my head when they talk?
I subconsciously touched my head a few times, and then asked a butcher, "Uncle, why do you always look at my head?"
The man chuckled: "Young man, there is no one here now. Tell me, did your master change your head?"
"What?" I was stunned at the time: "Why change the head? Can this person's head be changed?"
"You're a dishonest young man!" The man was unhappy: "When you were brought back by Master Qi, your brain was knocked out. How can you still survive?"
"Master Qi, the night I brought you back, I went to Cihang Temple on the edge of Beixi Lake. The next morning, the old monk in the temple discovered that the Buddha's head in the Main Hall was missing."
"If your master hadn't replaced your human head with a Buddha's head, would you have survived?"
The man seemed to have seen it with his own eyes: "That old monk from Cihang Temple is still trying to kill your master!"
When I heard this, I quickly picked up the bones and ran home. When I went back and asked, Ye Sanqi laughed: "How about you put your head in the water and see if it floats? If it floats, you have a wooden head. .”
I was about to stick my head into the water tank when I realized that Ye Sanqi was playing a trick on me!
Ye Sanqi said with a smile: "What's the matter? I'm afraid that people will spread it randomly, and it will be spread out of control. If you really hit your brain, I won't be able to save you even if you are a god."
"Don't believe what outsiders say."
I thought about it, it was impossible to replace a human head with a wooden one. I subconsciously touched the top of my head, only to find that a piece of my hair was missing.
When I looked at Ye Sanqi inexplicably, I saw him smiling at me.
Was it Ye Sanqi who shaved off a piece of my hair?
