"Thank you, sir." The girl in green who called herself Lin Xue thanked the two of them.
"Don't dare, don't dare, go in quickly, don't keep Mr. Qin waiting." Seeing that the other party knew Mr. Qin, the two of them dared not agree, so they had to urge the other party to go in.
Lin Xue took the beautiful jade and saluted politely. The two of them had a lot of good feelings at that time. Unexpectedly, the other party had no airs at all, which was very rare.
She pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as she entered, she saw a small pond with a huge stone standing next to it. On it were engraved four large red characters of "Pure Heart and Few Desires". The whole courtyard showed a "mouth" shape. establish. There is a small pond in the middle of the word '口', and there are corridors on all sides. Opposite the entrance is the main house. The door is open, and inside you can see a young man dressed in white, holding a brush with a touch of color and drawing something on the paper.
Lin Xue let out a breath to calm down and walked through the corridor on the right.
This small courtyard doesn't look big, but as soon as you enter, you can feel that it's a different world. Lin Xue walked for a while before arriving at the door of the main house.
"My dear daughter, Lin Xue, pays homage to Mr. Qin." Lin Xue bowed respectfully.
Lin Xue didn't dare to be careless. The person in front of him was a person that even the city lord respected.
At that banquet, it was the first time she saw the usually stern-faced city lord beaming with joy, and kept toasting him.
"I was surprised that you didn't use the token I gave you," Mr. Qin said, his tone was very gentle, but there was no change on his face.
After finishing the painting, I washed the brush in water and placed it on the sandalwood pen holder aside.
"It's just a trivial matter, I don't dare, little girl." Lin Xue was so angry that she didn't dare to take a breath, her heart was in her throat, for fear that the other party would be dissatisfied.
"Don't you dare? You came to me to become my disciple at Zhetian's banquet. How dare you?" Mr. Qin changed the subject and questioned the other party.
"I'm presumptuous, but I know Mr. Qin is open-minded, but I won't be angry over such a trivial matter." Lin Xue apologized hastily.
"I'll let you finish. I can't advance or retreat. It's all good," Mr. Qin said in a gentle tone.
It seemed she had dodged a bullet.
"Mr. Qin, you are generous. My daughter does not know etiquette and has offended Mr. Qin. I hope Mr. Qin will forgive me."
"What do you think of this painting?" Mr. Qin did not answer. Instead, he hung up the painting he had just finished and displayed it in front of Lin Xue.
The painting depicts a girl in white. The girl has long white hair and is wearing a gorgeous white palace dress. There is a translucent blouse outside the palace dress, and the translucent blouse is glowing with beautiful colored light.
The girl looks very beautiful. Lin Xue really can't think of any good words to describe it. She is like an exquisite porcelain doll. Her skin is as white as fat, and her facial features are very delicate, especially her huge eyes. The eyes are actually colorful, and there are two rosy eyes on both sides of her forehead. It has a pair of white dragon horns, which are as bright as the blouse. And the white and tender goose neck carries a bead that exudes golden light.
"It's very beautiful. I have never seen such a beautiful person in my life." Lin Xue did not praise the painting very well, but sighed at the beauty of the dragon girl.
"Haha... I have painted this painting countless times, but this is the first time I have shown this painting to outsiders." Mr. Qin seemed to find it useful, with a smile on his face.
"Thank you Mr. Qin for your love. This is your beautiful jade. Return it to its original owner." Lin Xue took out the beautiful jade. There was a big word 'Qin' engraved on the delicate jade.
"You don't want to become my disciple. This piece of jade is my apprenticeship gift to you." Mr. Qin turned his back to Lin Xue and admired the dragon girl in the painting.
"Please Mr. Qin, please take back your life. My daughter is asking for it for a friend of mine." Lin Xue mustered up her courage and said after a while.
"Asking for someone else? It seems he is a man." Mr. Qin turned around in surprise and looked at Lin Xue nervously saying with a bit of shyness:
"I'm really curious, who could let you take such a big risk and become my disciple on such a day, just for these words?"
Mr. Qin narrowed his eyes and continued: "I, Qin, are not accepted by everyone. If you want to come and become a disciple, you can come in person. Why should you let a girl like you escape the limelight?"
Mr. Qin seemed to be dissatisfied. It was really disgusting for a man to hide behind a woman.
"Mr. Qin, my little girl is willing to become your teacher, and I hope it will come true." Lin Xue wanted to explain what she wanted to say, but she held it back after hearing the words, but if she continued to say it, it would only make matters worse, and the gain would not be worth the loss.
I had no choice but to let myself become a disciple and not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There were still three years left. Within three years, Mr. Qin must agree to accept him as his disciple.
"..."
Mr. Qin sighed. What a smart but clumsy girl. Did she want to use her time to convince herself?
How childish.
Mr. Qin had no reason to refuse the other party, so he nodded and agreed to the other party's apprenticeship.
"Student Lin Xue meets the master"
…
"drink!"
Lin Mo held the stone ax and slammed it towards the wood in front of him. Unfortunately, he didn't have much strength, and the stone ax got stuck on the wood. The little turtle on the boat snickered when he saw this.
As a year went by, the little turtle began to accept him from his initial reluctance. However, the little turtle's wound healed very slowly and has not healed yet.
There are not many trauma medicines, so now I have to use them sparingly. At first, I took them every few days, and now I take them once every month.
Lin Mo put his foot on the wood and spent a lot of effort to pull out the stone ax.
For this reason, he fell on his butt because of his great strength.
Lin Mo rubbed it in pain, it really hurt! The pain made him grin and jump a few times.
The little turtle laughed so much that it turned over on its back, with its bottom facing up and its shell facing down.
Lin Mo was deaf in both ears, so naturally he didn't hear the sound, so he continued to chop wood. Winter was coming, so he needed to prepare dry firewood. There were dozens of dried fish hanging out behind the house for winter use.
…
It was winter, and the weather suddenly became cold. Lin Mo put on an old cotton-padded jacket, which was very wide. It belonged to his father and he was wearing it now.
The little turtle was also wearing a small cotton-padded jacket that Lin Mo made from his own old cotton-padded jacket. He raised his little head on Lin Mo's left hand, showing that he was not afraid of the winter because of the little cotton-padded jacket. He looked very proud.
Lin Mo was clearing the snow on the boat. There was a fire burning in front of him. Each piece of wood was burning like a flame. Did Lin Mo poke and poke the wood into charcoal from the firewood placed aside to prevent the fire from becoming smaller? .
Relying on the warm flames, the little turtle wanted to push its little head into the sky. It was so confident that Lin Mo lamented in his heart that it was too proud when it was bitten by a sea clam.
Lin Mo thought about giving the little turtle a slap, and hit it hard on the little turtle's head. The little turtle looked back at him in disbelief, but when he saw Lin Mo's second slap, he immediately retracted in grievance. Little brain.
Seeing this, Lin Mo withdrew his hand and taught it a lesson, fearing that it would develop a high-minded attitude and if it was bitten by a sea clam, there would be no second Lin Mo to save it.
A year has passed and I don’t know how she is doing. Lin Mo felt a little lonely.
One person and one turtle looked at the snow and stayed like this for a long time.
The sea was covered with thick ice, making it impossible to fish. Therefore, Lin Mo dried dozens of dried fish. With the cold weather, the dried fish could be preserved for a long time.
I spent the whole day sitting there, and besides chopping firewood, I sat on the bottom of the boat with the little turtles, facing the sea.
Soon, the night was approaching, and the prepared firewood was burned out. Lin Mo stood up and stretched, and the little turtle also moved around a few times.
Lin Mo stamped out the sparkling firewood with his feet and walked into the house with the little turtle in his left hand. There was an oil lamp on the wooden table. It was not difficult to use fish oil, but it was more troublesome. Lin Mo usually didn't use it. of.
However, after adding the little turtles, he started to mess around. Although fish oil is not as durable as kerosene, it is enough for Lin Mo.
Lin Mo sat on the bed, stroking the shell of the little turtle with one hand, taking off the little cotton-padded jacket for it, and placed it next to the pillow. Although he was a little resistant, he was much more obedient than the first time.
After Lin Mo blew out the oil lamp, he lay on the bed and covered himself with a quilt. He put an uneasy hand on the little turtle to make sure it was under the quilt so that it wouldn't accidentally freeze.
The lonely and cold wind outside was blowing, and the wooden door creaked. Lin Mo couldn't hear it, so naturally he didn't notice it, so the wooden door remained like this.
The little turtle was woken up, but he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he leaned towards Lin Mo. It was so warm.
…
In the quiet courtyard of Jinxiu City, the two strong men at the door also put on thick cotton-padded jackets and cotton gloves. What remained unchanged was the red cherry spear.
"Lin Xue, what are you doing?" The two strong men were flattered.
It turned out that a green girl came out of the small courtyard, carrying two bowls of hot soup, steaming, and handed them to the two of them respectively.
In front of her, Lin Xue has become a disciple of Mr. Qin. She has caused a sensation in the whole city and has become a celebrity. However, under her wish, the whole city knew her identity, and only the city lord and the two of them knew her identity.
Such a person gives these two little people a bowl of hot soup, but it is not hot soup. They want their lives.
"You guys stay here, I can't persuade you. Don't refuse this bowl of hot soup." Lin Xue wanted the two of them to come in, but they didn't dare to make a mistake.
"Then...thank you, sister Lin Xue." The two of them looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Lin Xue and the two of them have become quite familiar with each other over the past year.
After pushing it off several times, he put down the red tassel spear in his hand and took the boiling hot soup.
"Sister Lin Xue, you haven't succeeded yet. Brother, tell me, that man can make you suffer like this." One of them took a sip of the hot soup. After a year of acquaintance, they both knew why she came.
The two of them admired her from the bottom of their hearts. At the conference hosted by the city lord himself, she risked her life to become a disciple of Mr. Qin. Although it was only after the end, it showed her courage, which many men could not do.
"He, he is very good, a very good person" Lin Xue said with a blush on her face.
"Stop teasing Sister Lin. She drank other people's soup and still behaves like this. Don't give it to him next time. I, Lao Xu, have a big appetite and drank his share too," another person laughed.
"Well, Old Xu, you are now thinking about my Old Tang's hot soup. Don't I care? If that boy dares to betray Sister Lin Xue, I will definitely not be able to spare him." Old Tang argued.
He drank the hot soup in big gulps, for fear of being slow.
The two have known each other for a long time. They have been strong and strong since they were young, and later joined the City Lord's Mansion. Now they have been ordered by the City Lord to follow Mr. Qin, which means they are following Mr. Qin with the salary from the City Lord's Mansion.
Lin Xue is Mr. Qin's student. Although her reputation is not great, since Mr. Qin is only a student, her reputation is great.
The two of them naturally regarded Lin Xue as half their master. I just didn’t expect Lin Xue to be so considerate.
There is no separation between two people.
