The years when I was an old man

After Zheng Ruhuan left, I went directly to the restaurant.

Xiaoduo and He Xiaoshi are having dinner.

I sat beside, looked at Xiaoduo and asked:

"Xiaoduo, you said you want to change your appearance, what else can you do besides disguise?"

Xiaoduo is concentrating on dealing with the bobo chicken in front of her.

Her hot face paled, but she still enjoyed it.

Listening to my question, she sucked in her breath, flapped her little hand over her mouth, and said two words wheezingly:

"Disfigurement!"

I looked at her dumbfounded, this girl learned from Master Hong, and she became more and more skinny.

"I'm serious!"

"Then I can't help it..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoduo picked up a bunch of chicken gizzards, devoured them, and ignored me.

Xiaoshi on the side put down her chopsticks, and gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin.

"Masks, hats, sunglasses, and simple makeup. Change the usual movements, unless you are very familiar with people, people who have met a few times will definitely not recognize you..."

The words of the poem make me feel good.

There was only a bunch of chicken hearts left in the bowl, and Xiaoduo was just picking up a bunch of chicken hearts and was about to eat them.As soon as I raised my hand, I grabbed it.Put it in your mouth and chew happily.

"You hate it, why are you robbing me?"

Xiaoduo pouted her mouth, looking pitiful.

I smiled and ignored her.

…………

I didn't wait for Qi Lan to come, but Tang Lang's teacher's ceremony arrived immediately.

Zheng Ruhuan told me that the place where the teacher ceremony was done was in a farmyard in the suburbs.

It is said to be a farmyard, but it is actually a villa.

It's just the mountain style, which makes people feel more rustic.

Early this morning, according to what He Xiaoshi said, I asked Xiaoduo to put on my makeup briefly, and went straight to the farmyard.

When I arrived, there was no car at the gate.

Obviously, the time has not come, and the invited people have not come yet.

I lowered my peaked cap a little and walked to the door of the villa.

The villa is surrounded by iron fences, and the situation inside the yard can be clearly seen from the outside.

There is a bronze statue at the position where the south faces the north.

Although I couldn't see the face clearly, I knew it must be Dongfang Shuo, the patriarch of Rong Clan.

Next to the bronze statue, there is another tablet of a living person.

This tablet is prepared for the master.

The teacher's ceremony in a while, that is to start from here.

I walked to the door, and the two thieves saw that I was wrapped tightly.

He immediately looked at me with vigilant eyes, and one of them bowed his hands to me and said at the same time:

"Does the boss have any invitations?"

I shook my head.

"no!"

"Sorry, no one can enter today without an invitation..."

I pulled off the mask, and then took out a small golden knife from my pocket.

This was given to me by Niu Lao last time in Bashu.

On his birthday that year, a friend specially made it for him.At that time, many of his apprentices and grandchildren were present.

Niu Lao once said that seeing this golden knife in the future is like seeing himself.

There are also two verses engraved on the small golden knife: the grievances and grievances of the rivers and lakes are the same from generation to generation, and the grievances from generation to generation will eventually be empty.

Handing the knife to the thief, I said directly:

"Please let Brother Tang take a look at this thing, he will understand after reading it!"

The thief looked at the little golden knife in his hand, then looked at me suspiciously, and said:

"Then please wait a moment!"

I stood at the door, waiting quietly.

After a while, there was a rush of footsteps coming from the courtyard.

As soon as the courtyard door opened, a group of thieves came out surrounded by Tang Lang who was wearing a Chinese Tang suit.

At this moment, Tang Lang still had an anxious expression on his face.

But when he saw me, he immediately showed doubts.

I secretly rejoiced that he didn't recognize me.

Tang Lang cupped his hands and said politely:

"The mountains and rivers are far away, and the road is three thousand, which one do you take?"

Tang Lang's words are also one of the slang words of the old world, who is actually asking who is on the road.

I also bowed my hands to return the salute, deliberately lowered my voice, and said:

"When a light boat crosses the two banks, the heart is as pious as a rock!"

Qianmen was called "Qianmen" in the early days, and the word "qian" revealed my doorway.

Upon hearing that I belonged to Qianmen, Tang Lang looked me up and down, and asked suspiciously:

"Are you from the sixth master?"

When I was in Bashu back then, Tang Lang once led someone to rescue me.

When I met Mr. Niu, he was there.

"Brother Tang, brother is the sixth day!"

I saw Tang Lang slapping himself on the forehead twice.

He looked suddenly enlightened, and said repeatedly:

"My brain is really stupid and stupid. How could I have forgotten that my little junior sister has a superb ability to disguise? Sixth Master, hurry up, please come inside!"

Following Tang Lang into the courtyard, Tang Lang asked me a little puzzled:

"Master Chu Liu, why are you still dressed like this when you come to find me?"

I took off my mask and replied:

"Brother Tang, this body is not to confuse you, but someone else!"

"Who?"

Tang Lang asked curiously.

"People from the Brotherhood!"

"Have you had a grudge with the elders?"

"That's it!"

So I briefly talked about what happened to Zheng Ruhuan this time.

Tang Lang frowned after hearing this.

"The second master of the Ge Laohui once saved the life of the uncle. The uncle is very loyal. Although the fault is the second master, I am still worried that the uncle will protect his shortcomings. If that is the case, this matter will be difficult..."

I understand Tang Lang, he is in Rongcheng, so naturally he doesn't want to offend Gelaohui.

I cupped my fists at Tang Lang, and I said directly:

"Brother Tang, you shouldn't be involved in this matter, but now time is tight, and I have no choice. In this way, Brother Tang, you can handle your teacher's ceremony with peace of mind. I will find another way to solve this matter..."

I have very few advantages, the biggest advantage is that I don't want to force others.

Hearing what I said, Tang Lang suddenly burst out laughing.

"Master Chu Liu, where are you going? When I say this, I just say that things are a little tricky. You and my master have a life-long friendship, and you have the golden knife in your hand. Your words are no different from my master. Don't worry, not to mention my Rongmen in Rongcheng, the entire Rongmen in Bashu will support you. You can do it boldly!"
