"Birthday?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but Qiu Sheng smiled and said, "Yes, today is Master's birthday. He didn't want to spend it away from home, so he came back quickly. Comprador Hong also said that he helped Master prepare a birthday party in the restaurant."
Uncle Jiu suddenly frowned and said, "Why don't I know about this?"
Qiu Sheng suddenly woke up and covered his mouth thinking that something was wrong. He originally planned to give his master a surprise, but he accidentally let it slip out of his mouth.
It's so miserable now...
Li Yong smiled and said: "Uncle Jiu, I think they also want to give you a surprise. In fact, it doesn't matter now that we know it. Everyone starts preparing their own gifts. Then we can continue to surprise Uncle Jiu, right?"
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai looked at each other, their eyes lit up, and they immediately nodded and said, "Okay, okay, let's go prepare quickly..."
Seeing them taking the opportunity to run out, Uncle Jiu shook his head helplessly, then looked at Li Yong and said, "Thanks to A Yong for coming back in time..."
Li Yong said: "If I were not here, they would not have acted rashly and would have waited for Uncle Jiu to come back, so there is no need to worry."
Uncle Jiu chuckled, knowing that Li Yong was praising him, but it made him feel happy, and that was enough.
Because I was worried that the witch might attack at any time, I took care of things to celebrate Uncle Jiu's birthday first. However, because I had already prepared them before, including Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai, although they were preparing gifts at short notice, they already had ideas, just because of money. If it wasn't enough, I asked Li Yong to help make up for it.
So it didn’t seem rushed in the end. A group of people were eating and drinking happily in a private room on the second floor of the restaurant. Comprador Hong also prepared a "Western moon cake", which is actually a birthday cake. Although the appearance seems a bit bad, but It tastes pretty good.
"Uncle Jiu, this is my gift to you. Westerners call it a wrist watch. It can be worn on your wrist and you can read the time. You see this is the hour hand and this is the minute hand...that is to say, The time now is 4:31 in the afternoon, which is Shen Shi..."
"Wow, isn't that just like giving a clock?" As soon as Captain Ah Wei said this, there was a moment of silence.
Uncle Jiu was also stunned for a moment, but after a while, he still smiled, took the watch directly and said: "Thank you, I just need something that can tell the time."
In fact, he didn't know much about Western time scales, and he didn't catch a cold too much, all because it was a gift from Li Yong.
If it were Qiusheng and Wencai, the situation might be different.
Ah Wei snorted, then immediately changed his face and smiled: "Uncle Jiu, I actually have a gift for you here. It's not respectful to be careful..."
As he said that, he was about to pick up the box with the gift nearby, "Hey, that's weird, where did it go?"
"Is this it?"
"Huh?" Ah Wei saw Li Yong coming out with a gift box in his hand. He really thought it was his own, so he smiled and wanted to take it without thinking too much.
Li Yong secretly smiled in his heart, and naturally handed the box to him, and he would give it to Uncle Jiu.
Speaking of which, Captain Ah Wei has become extremely admired by Uncle Jiu since what happened to Mr. Ren, and he has always wanted to become his teacher and learn something from him.
And in his opinion, both Li Yong, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai had the ability to tease and manipulate themselves because they studied with Uncle Jiu. If he also learned it, he might be able to do the opposite. What about dealing with them?
So after that, he kept coming to please Uncle Jiu, just hoping to have the opportunity to become his teacher, and then learn skills so that he could get revenge.
Uncle Jiu naturally saw this, and in order to avoid trouble, he kept hanging on to that guy. He didn't refuse directly but never agreed.
But this time, seeing him take the gift from Li Yong, Uncle Jiu rolled his eyes, suddenly thought of something, and said calmly: "Open the gift box yourself...".net
Ah Wei was stunned for a moment, but he didn't take it seriously, and he seemed to feel that his gift was very disrespectful in front of everyone.
Just like autumn
Sheng and Wencai bought a set of clothes together. Li Yong's gift had a bad meaning, but his definitely had a meaning and was conspicuous enough.
He believed that with such a foil and contrast, when Uncle Jiu became happy, he might just accept him as his disciple.
So he opened the ribbon with a smile on his face and opened the lid of the gift box.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the other person got closer, he felt that a black shadow in front of him grew from small to large, from far to near, and suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Boom" hit him directly in the face, making his eyes pop with stars, and he said in a daze: "Why...are you so dizzy..."
This scene also stunned everyone present, especially the fist with a spring in the box, which could be seen clearly at a glance.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai looked at each other, stood up immediately and said, "Master, this kid is deliberately trying to frame you. If you hadn't paid attention to opening the gift yourself just now, you would have been beaten."
"Yes, yes..." Wencai nodded quickly and agreed.
Uncle Jiu glared at the two of them, and then glanced at Li Yong.
Li Yong acted as if nothing had happened and stepped forward to help Ah Wei sit down and said with a smile, "I think you'd better sit down first and eat more food."
Uncle Jiu sighed inwardly and shook his head secretly. He was a little confused as to how Li Yong did it just now. He was able to change Ah Wei's gift directly under his nose. It was also miraculous. .
A small farce did not affect everyone's interest. Li Yong also took advantage of this moment to talk to Uncle Jiu about the placement of the female ghost. First of all, of course, he would introduce Mao Shanming to him.
Uncle Jiu didn't know how to display Master Mao Shan's genealogy, and he also showed respect for Mao Shanming, a fellow Taoist.
Mao Shanming felt a little guilty. After all, Uncle Jiu was someone that even Li Yong had to treat with courtesy. Thinking about it, he knew it would not be easy, so when Uncle Jiu was toasting, he even said he didn't dare and stood up to finish the job.
At this time, Li Yong smiled again and said, "Logically speaking, today is Uncle Jiu's birthday, so I shouldn't say anything disappointing, but there is indeed something I need to ask Uncle Jiu for help with."
Uncle Jiu has long known that although he is old-fashioned, he is not rigid. Sometimes he is even a bit sinister, so he and his two apprentices can be said to be cheating on each other, which is why this combination can be stable.
Li Yong stopped talking in circles and told the story about the Tan family's female ghost and his family. Of course, he also told the story about Mao Shanming, Dabao and Xiaobao.
Uncle Jiu is not the kind of person who wants to kill all the ghosts he hears. If Dong Xiaoyu hadn't offended his apprentice Qiu Sheng earlier, he wouldn't have done anything to her.
So now when he heard what Li Yong said, he just pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "I think the banquet is almost over, let's stop here. Let's go back to Yizhuang and deal with this matter first."
Li Yong nodded and said, "It's best to take the three captured horse thieves with us. I believe that the sorceress should be able to find their whereabouts. We just wait to lure the snake out of its hole and catch the turtle in the urn."
Uncle Jiu thought for a while and nodded. He was not afraid of getting into trouble. It was indeed better to go to Yizhuang. Otherwise, there were so many people here in Renjiazhuang, and it would be troublesome if something happened.
At this time, Mao Shanming hesitated and said: "Mr. Li, Brother Tao, my relationship with Dabao and Xiaobao is irreconcilable. I'm afraid..."
"Brother Taoist, we are all members of the same Taoist community. Do you know the first commandment of Maoshan?"
Mao Shanming nodded and said seriously: "Of course I know: good and evil stand side by side, and they will fight for life."
"Now that you know, you still want to raise ghosts?"
Or two...
