The more than 70,000 yuan was all gone before I could hold it warm in my hands.
To this day, when I see those gangsters in groups of two or three, I don’t like them very much. Sometimes when I’m in a bad mood, I try to teach them a lesson.
After I gained the ability, I tried to look for those three people, but unfortunately my memory has long been blurred and the alley was demolished.
If the 70,000 yuan had not been lost, I might have been a small owner of a mountain goods shop now, married to a wife, and had a baby, instead of living a day-to-day life like I did later.
If the 70,000 yuan had not been lost, there would not have been a person like me in the circle, let alone the mysterious and mysterious title of "If you hold back your treasure, you will succeed."
Unfortunately, there was no if. I struggled back to the hotel and lay on the bed in a daze.
I only had some change left with me, just enough to go back to Northeast China.
But I don't want to go back! I don't want to go back like this!
Let those who laugh at me and look down on me see my big joke and continue to laugh at me and look down on me!
I can't afford to lose this person!
I sat up and looked around the small but empty room, a feeling of despair suddenly welling up in my heart.
I saw an exposed wire in the corner of the wall, crackling and flashing with lightning from time to time. Once the thought of self-destruction rose, it was as difficult to extinguish as a flame.
I stared at the wire. For a moment, I rushed over in my mind and grabbed the wire tightly.
When I came to my senses again, I had already gotten out of bed and was standing in the corner.
At this moment, I accidentally touched my pocket and took out a handful of change and a dark business card, which was exactly the business card Mr. Cui gave me.
Cui Sanye's kind face with a half-smiling smile, his profound and extraordinary conversation, and the room full of treasures suddenly appeared in front of me.
There was a voice in my head telling me that if you become a treasure-suppressing person, you can also become that person.
I ran to the front desk of the hotel, borrowed a phone, and called Master Cui according to the number on the business card.
After a few beeps, a cold and unfamiliar voice answered the phone: "Who are you calling?"
"Mr. Cui, I'm looking for Mr. Cui!" I whispered quickly, fearing that he would hang up the phone.
"What do you want from Third Master?" The man was stunned for a moment and then asked.
"I want to be the disciple of the third master. The third master opened the mouth of Chrysostom today." I quickly said everything I was thinking.
Unexpectedly, after telling the truth, the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then sneered: "There are too many people who want to worship Third Master. You said that Third Master opened the Golden Mouth today, so why didn't you agree when the Third Master opened the Golden Mouth?"
I was choked all of a sudden and couldn't think of anything to say to deal with it. I couldn't say that I thought of Sanye's path after being defrauded of all my money, right?
"When you have this time, think more about how to live your life well." The person on the other end of the phone saw that I was speechless and admonished me contemptuously before hanging up the phone.
I listened to the busy tone on the other end and felt like crying.
But then, a fire that refused to admit defeat ignited in my heart. Since the phone couldn't be reached, I went to the door myself.
I followed my grandfather around the old forests in the Northeast since I was a child. The old forests are huge, and the trees are tall and dense. If someone is not careful, they will get lost and get trapped in the old woods.
But I have had an excellent sense of direction since I was a child. As long as I have walked the same road, I still can’t forget it even after so many years. My grandfather always praised me for my extraordinary talent. If I had been born a few years earlier, I would have been a very good hunter.
When I followed Uncle Wu, although I didn't look at the road much in the first half, I passed a station in the middle. After passing that station, I basically looked out the window the whole way. I bet I could walk that section of the road.
So I lay down with an uneasy feeling and stayed up until dawn. When the station started selling tickets at the earliest time, I hurried over and bought a ticket to the station I passed.
It wasn't until I got in the car that I felt half relieved.
The car was swaying, the seats were very full, stuffy, and the smell was extremely unpleasant, but I only wanted to arrive early and didn't care about the harsh environment.
When I got to the station, I bought a bottle of water and walked towards Master Cui's house following my memory.
I was extremely nervous along the way. I could remember the path I had walked before, but this time I walked it by car, so I couldn’t guarantee that it would be correct.
It wasn't until I saw the distant shadow of Mr. Cui's house that I felt relieved.
When I walked to the door of the house, I knocked on the door. The door slowly opened. The indifferent butler opened the door. As soon as he opened the door, I knew he was the one who answered the phone last night: "Are you looking for Mr. Cui?"
"I called last night and asked me to come in." I have no other thoughts in my mind now. I just want to go in and let Mr. Cui take me in.
I stared straight at the housekeeper, which made him frightened.
"Come in with me." The housekeeper took a step back, let me in, and led me towards the yard.
When I saw Mr. Cui, he was sitting on a huanghuali wooden chair and sipping tea. The tea lid only showed a little crack, and the aroma of tea filled the whole room.
When Mr. Cui saw me, he was a little surprised: "You can actually come here? Tell me, what do you want to see me for?"
"I want to be your disciple and become a treasure keeper." I said awkwardly, not at all as relaxed as when I first came.
"Why didn't you worship me the first time, and now you come to your door yourself?" Sure enough, Mr. Cui asked the question that a person would ask.
"For the first time, I just wanted to go home and do some small business, but... my money was robbed." I hesitated for a while, and then told the truth, "I'm not willing to go back penniless. I want to talk to you." Just the same, become a person who will not be looked down upon by others.”
Mr. Cui looked at me in silence for a while. I lowered my head, not daring to look directly into his eyes.
After a while, Cui Sanye put his hands on his hands and laughed: "Okay, okay, I really saw you right."
I raised my head in confusion, and Mr. Cui explained to me: "If you just praised me for my ability, or gave you any high-sounding reasons, I really wouldn't dare to accept you. I am a big influence in the industry, and maybe someone will Just use you to harm me."
"But the reason you gave is too honest. I really can't refuse, not to mention that I was optimistic about you from the beginning." Mr. Cui ordered the butler to serve tea.
The butler handed a cup of tea to me, I opened the lid and took a sip. The aroma of the tea flowed down my throat and into my stomach, then turned into a warm current and flowed throughout my body, making me feel extremely comfortable.
Third Master Cui then laughed: "Silly boy, I gave you tea so that you can serve it as a disciple, not to drink it. After you have become a disciple, you can drink it as you please."
After hearing this, I smiled sheepishly, knelt down quickly, raised the cup of tea above my head and offered it to Cui Sanye. After he took the tea, he knelt down and kowtowed nine times, and the apprenticeship was considered complete.
From then on, I was involved in this business.
