Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

The young man on the left was horrified.

He hurriedly tugged at the sleeve of the young man on his right. They both turned around and saw Gu Xu, who was holding Gu Yue's hand with a well-behaved look on his face.

The young man on the right rubbed his eyes hard and was hit by the young man on the left, who forced him to stand up straighter.

The young man on the left hurried back to the yard to report the news.

……

Gu Yue didn't notice anything.

Some of the young girls in front entered the yard happily, while others left dejectedly. Of the group of about seven or eight people, only three entered, including the little girl.

The line was short and soon it was Gu Xu's turn.

This is a long table. Sitting opposite is a thin old man with a bit of the air of a hermit. On the right is a person holding a pen and paper to take notes, and on the left is a person standing, apparently to maintain order.

Gu Xu took a step forward and sat down on the stool in front of the table.

"Stretch out your hand. This step is to feel your bones and see if you have a strong character..."

The old man stopped talking halfway as if he was choking. Gu Yue saw his eyelids trembling violently, and he seemed to be very excited, and he suddenly became nervous.

Gu Xu stretched out his hand calmly.

The old man's hands were shaking. He held Gu Xu's thin and long palm and rubbed it back and forth.

It was a bit pretentious, and the process lasted for about two breaths, then the old man suddenly opened his eyes.

"Genius! A genius that is hard to find in the history of the world!"

Gu Yue was startled.

The lines are too exaggerated, like a swindler who is a well-intentioned swindler.

But his expression was very...real. He looked like he was about to cry, as if emotions that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly burst out, and the people around him all looked over here.

"Quick, go in and find the owner!"

The man in black on the left is much more natural, with just the right amount of joy on his face.

"Oh! Okay." Gu Yue was confused, "Xiao Xu, let's go?"

Gu Xu nodded calmly. In Gu Yue's opinion, he was truly calm and composed.

Fortunately, the person on the right who was recording the information had not completely lost his composure. He quickly stopped Gu Yue and asked them to register their names.

Gu Yue cooperated and said his name, then took Gu Xu's hand and walked towards the gate.

Didn’t they notice the spooky expressions of the three people behind them, all focused on the hands they were holding.

After entering the brand new ebony door, I saw a screen wall with a painting of an unknown fierce animal. After going around it, I saw a large front yard where some boys and girls lined up in the yard, doing horse stance, and everyone's face was red.

Anyway...it's quite similar to that.

The man in black just now also followed in and asked Gu Yue and the others to wait for a moment. He ran in to report as if there was a ghost chasing him.

Soon a group of people came out, serving tea and fanning them very attentively, and respectfully invited them to the backyard.

After passing through a side door, we arrived at the backyard, which was a little bigger, with neatly rowed houses on both sides. The man in black who led the way began to introduce it enthusiastically.

"Sir, what you see is the room where our apprentices live. Since there are so few of us, each of us has a separate room. We provide them with meat, vegetables and fruits every day, so we make sure they eat well!"

"So good?" Gu Yue agreed, but in his heart he thought: the tuition fee should be quite a bit of money...

Entering the main hall in the backyard, there was an indoor martial arts training ground with various weapons, and further back was a small courtyard, magnificent and grand. The black-clothed man who led the way led them to a room in the middle and said respectfully, "The owner is in the room, please come in."

Gu Yue took Gu Xu's hand and went into the house.

The interior is layered and the decoration is simple but low-key and luxurious, with a pure Chinese spatial aesthetic.

Sitting behind the innermost desk was a man who looked to be no more than thirty years old. He was also wearing black clothes, but with some distinctive red piping and embroidery decorations.

Isn't this too young? Gu Yue muttered to himself.

It's not that he is age discriminatory, it's just that in this era there are too few people who can make a name for themselves in their teens or twenties. Aren't they all suppressed by those who are older and more experienced?

Could it be a liar?

Gu Yue immediately recalled all the scams that happened in the past, such as winning a thousand-yuan coupon in a shopping lottery, saying that your child is a child prodigy and asking you to sign up for a special ability class, or that your package was lost and you are now being compensated tenfold and asked to log on to a certain website and bind your bank card to receive the money...

The young man had been staring at Gu Xu since he came in. When Gu Xu approached, he even stood up from behind the table excitedly to greet him in person.

Gu Yue observed him carefully, and the shock in his eyes did not seem to be fake.

"He is really born with good physique! It is rare to see one in a century." The young man exclaimed.

"The museum owner has such a sharp eyesight? The old man at the door was feeling the bones for a long time just now." Gu Yue questioned.

The smile on the young man's face froze for a moment.

"Haha, of course, otherwise that old gentleman would take the seat of the museum owner." The young man smiled politely.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. This... Mr. Gu Dashi must be sending little friend Gu Xu to the martial arts hall to practice, right? We will accept this disciple."

Gu Yue had a skeptical look on his face, as if to say, "I knew it would be this smooth."

"Then this Shu Xiu..." Gu Yue hesitated to speak.

"Oh, Mr. Gu, don't worry."

The young man smiled.

"Since this child has excellent physique, we are willing to reduce the tuition fee a little. He only needs to pay 100 coins per month for food expenses."

so good?

Gu Yue was very happy, but he always felt that something was not right.

He thought carefully about the whole process. Apart from the fact that the martial arts school happened to be open, there seemed to be no flaws in other matters.

"I heard from gossip that you used to be a royal guard. How come you suddenly thought of opening a martial arts school in this remote town?" Gu Yue asked tentatively.

"Yes, I was in charge of the guarding of the daily court meetings outside the Golden Palace." The young man lied with his eyes open. Anyway, Gu Yue had no way to go to the old emperor to verify it.

"It's a pity that my badge was taken away when I resigned from my position, otherwise I would have shown it to you now."

The young man continued, "As for why we chose Liuli Town, it's because there is only one martial arts school in Luonan Dao, and it is easier to recruit apprentices with good aptitude."

"Oh, there is another reason. My mother's family's newly opened escort agency lacks trustworthy escorts. We have trained a group of them now, so we don't have to hire them from the outside world anymore."

This Gu Yue is familiar with him. Interns have a strong sense of belonging to the company and their salary is low.

"This escort job shouldn't be compulsory, right?" Gu Yue asked. He was afraid that Gu Xu would be burdened with some contract.

"Of course not, it's all voluntary." The young man said, "But I guess no one would refuse the job of a bodyguard, right?"

This is true.

But it would be best if there was some sort of guarantee.

Gu Yue thought about it.

"It's not impossible for my little Xu to learn martial arts here, but I can only feel at ease if you accept him as your disciple and perform the ceremony of paying respect to him."

“After all, you have such a good physique, I’m worried that you won’t teach seriously.” Gu Yue said.
