Looking for Qin Ji colleagues

Fang Xia slept soundly, and woke up at dawn, and Wu Tingfang, who hadn't slept well, got up too.

The hostel is very simple, with only one copper basin. After Wu Tingfang washed it, Fang Xia also simply washed his face and rinsed his mouth.The newly dug well water is cool and pleasant, very comfortable.

Wu Tingfang was still dressed in men's clothing, and she only needed to comb her hair briefly, and then she tied Fang Xia's hair in a bun after washing.Fang Xia still doesn't know how to comb her hair by herself, and there is no mirror in the hostel, so she can't learn it if she wants to.

Xiang Shaolong and Tao Boss also got up, everyone ate something together, Tao Boss went out to buy horses.Wu Tingfang didn't sleep well at night, she was a little out of energy, and she was not in the mood to quarrel with Xiang Shaolong, so she ran to take care of the little boy Da Niu.

Fang Xia finally had time to talk with Xiang Shaolong alone.

The two stood in the yard, Fang Xia simply told Xiang Shaolong about Daniu's situation, Xiang Shaolong had a look of admiration on his face: "Wow, you are very good, you actually got so much information."

Xiang Shaolong and Manager Tao fell asleep after going back last night. After all, they hadn't rested for two days. Unlike Wu Tingfang, they slept soundly, so they didn't have time to sleep unconsciously. Big cow exchange.

Fang Xia remembered his worries, and said to Xiang Shaolong: "This kid is really amazing, I really admire him."

"It's true. After suffering so many setbacks at such a young age, and still having such perseverance, he must be a talent when he grows up." Xiang Shaolong agreed.

Fang Xia continued: "But he is too miserable. Even if we send him home, he doesn't dare to show his face at home. He will have to hide and support himself in the future. I'm afraid life will not be much better than now. Mr. Xiang Dragon, what do you say?"

"It's very miserable." Fang Xia had already told Xiang Shaolong about Daniu's situation before, and at this moment he also nodded thoughtfully, "But how can we help him? If we give him some money, I won't A lot—how about asking Mr. Tao, Miss Wu, to give him some love and money?"

"Donate money?" Fortunately, he can think of it, but it seems to be a good idea, but after thinking about it carefully, Fang Xia still feels that it is inappropriate: "I don't think he will accept it. Besides, how long can donating money help him?" What about when he grows up?"

"It's true." Xiang Shaolong held his chin, "It would be great if there was a welfare home here, and he could be sent to school. After studying, he would grow up and find a job, so he wouldn't have to worry about the future."

"Hopeful elementary school is fine too..." Fang Xia also felt emotional, "In fact, it is to let him learn some knowledge, and it is best to have a skill. The key is that he can't go home, and his parents can't raise him—or else , find him a teacher—by the way, you might as well take him in as an apprentice!"

"About apprentice?" Xiang Shaolong looked surprised, "You mean Da Niu? You are not mistaken, we should find a way to go to Xianyang earlier, how can we have the time to accept apprentice?"

"But if you go to Xianyang, you have to wait for Qin Shihuang to ascend the throne before you can go." Fang Xia remembered that Zhao Pan was Xiang Shaolong's apprentice, that is, the future Qin Shihuang. Since there will definitely be an apprentice, it shouldn't matter if you take an extra apprentice now. yes. "Teaching a man to fish is worse than giving him a fish."

"I know, I think so too. But we're going to Xianyang, and when we get to Handan, we're leaving. How can we have time to teach him?"

"Isn't there still three years left? Besides, after going to Handan, it seems that we won't be able to leave for a while. The matter in Wujiapu must be resolved. During this period of time, it's okay to exercise for Daniel, At that time, we will ask him whether he wants to stay in Handan or go to Xianyang with us. If he wants to stay in Handan, I can help him find another teacher..."

Xiang Shaolong thought about it carefully, and said: "It seems to be possible. But I don't understand one thing, why would you want me to be his teacher? You can find anyone else. I think Director Tao is very good. awesome."

"Uh..." Fang Xia was stopped by Xiang Shaolong's question. After thinking about it for a long time, he sighed and said, "I don't know. I just thought of you all of a sudden, and didn't think about others at all. Maybe I trust you more. You, after all, we are companions, for other people here, I may still not be able to trust and rely on you as much as I do."

Hearing Fang Xia's explanation, Xiang Shaolong let out a long "Oh", his puzzlement turned into a sudden realization, and then he grinned and said with a big smile: "So that's the case! Then since you trust me so much, how can I Not enough for you!"

"Ah? You agree!" After hearing Xiang Shaolong's words, Fang Xia had already started to consider other candidates, and found that that was also good, but she didn't expect Xiang Shaolong to readily agree.

Xiang Shaolong nodded: "Yes, yes."

Fang Xia was immediately overjoyed: "It's really kind of you to agree." After all, Xiang Shaolong's character is the most reliable.When she was happy, she thought about the details of Xiang Shaolong's apprenticeship: "You are a policeman, so you must have received professional training. You can use these to help Da Niu exercise and lay a solid foundation. By the way, don't you still follow Has Mr. Yuan Zong ever learned swordsmanship? The old man has passed away, and you don’t plan to stay here, so what a pity his swordsmanship is lost! You educate Da Niu well, let him be a good person, and then teach him Mozi's swordsmanship, so that the elders just happen to have successors, how perfect!"

Xiang Shaolong always had a smile on his face, listening to Fang Xia's nagging, he didn't answer until she finished speaking: "Yes, yes, this is definitely a perfect idea."

Fang Xia was slightly dissatisfied with Xiang Shaolong's seemingly coaxing tone, but thinking that Xiang Shaolong was about to accept a student, this made her very excited, and hurriedly dragged Xiang Shaolong into the room.

"Fang'er, what are you doing?" As soon as Fang Xia entered the room, she saw Wu Tingfang sitting alone at the table, holding a straw rope bitterly, leaving debris all over the floor.

When Wu Tingfang heard Fang Xia calling her, she suddenly came back to her senses. Seeing Fang Xia and Xiang Shaolong coming in, she got up quickly, and put her hands behind her back in a panic: "No, it's nothing."

Fang Xia knew that she was still struggling, so she didn't expose her, instead she looked at Daniel inside, and asked, "Where is Daniel?"

"I'll let him sleep a little longer, and get up when Director Tao comes back." Wu Tingfang really watched Daniel close his eyes before he went to worry about his own affairs.

Daniel didn't actually fall asleep, but because Wu Tingfang asked him to rest for a while, and he didn't want to disappoint his benefactor, so he closed his eyes and pretended to rest.After hearing Fang Xia's voice, he opened his eyes and sat up slowly.

He took medicine and porridge yesterday, and slept a few times in a very relaxed manner. His mental and physical strength has recovered a lot, and he has the strength to stand up again.Fang Xia didn't stop him this time either, she wanted to let Xiang Shaolong see how strong he was.

Seeing him kneeling and sitting upright, Fang Xia, Xiang Shaolong and Wu Tingfang also found a place to sit down.

Fang Xia spoke first: "Daniu, yesterday you said that after going home to see your parents, you will come back to us, right?"

Daniu nodded seriously: "Yes, Daniu told his parents about the barracks, and came back to repay the great kindness of all benefactors."

"Repay the favor?" Xiang Shaolong was baffled, and looked at Fang Xia strangely.

Only then did Fang Xia remember that she was so busy telling Xiang Shaolong about Da Niu's information, and discussing what to do, that she forgot to tell him the reason why she cared about him so much.Quickly explained: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, this kid insisted on repaying the favor, and said that he would be a cow and a horse in the future to repay his life-saving grace. We don't need him to be a cow and a horse, but he understands the facts so well. like……"

"Oh, that's why you asked me to find a way?"

"Don't you believe me? Besides, don't we have a good idea?"

Xiang Shaolong smiled: "But I will work hard in the future, how are you going to thank me?"

"Ah?" Fang Xia was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that Xiang Shaolong was joking again. She gritted her teeth and looked at Xiang Shaolong with squinted eyes. How can I thank you?"

Xiang Shaolong trembled from Fang Xia's eyes: "Hey, forget it, anyway, it's a solution we came up with together."

Fang Xia really smiled with eyebrows and eyes crooked: "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely thank you and make you satisfied then. However, it will take a while..." When everyone settles down, some A quiet and free space and time that will not be disturbed by others.

"Sister Xia, what are you two talking about? Why are you so secretive?" Wu Tingfang was listening, but she couldn't guess what they meant, her face was full of anxiety, and she finally interrupted.

"Brother Xiang, I'm back—why are you all here?" Manager Tao, who bought the horse, also came back, and when he entered his room and saw many people, he couldn't help asking.

"Ah, you're back!" Xiang Shaolong immediately went up to greet him, and put his shoulders on Director Tao's shoulder like a good brother, "How is it, have you bought the horse yet?"

Director Tao is not very used to Xiang Shaolong's intimacy, but he didn't dodge it, he just answered Xiang Shaolong seriously: "The horses sold in Changting Town are indeed much worse than the war horses raised in Wujiabao, but Tao still chooses Brother Xiang can rest assured that there are a few usable horses."

"I don't worry if I have a horse, I don't want to go back to Handan." Xiang Shaolong patted Tao Fang's shoulder happily.

Tao Fang smiled slightly, and politely called Fang Xia "Mrs. Xiang", and Wu Tingfang "Miss", before asking: "Brother Xiang, are you gathered here, is there any important event?" ?”

"Oh, that's right." Fang Xia took the initiative to explain, "We have something to ask Daniel, and you just came back, Mr. Tao, let's be a witness together."

Fang Xia looked at the three adults around him with a smile, and finally looked at the protagonist of the conversation, Daniel. He was very calm. Although it was related to him and he was at a loss, he waited quietly. "Daniu, listen to me, you can repay your favor, but you have to promise me one thing first."

"What's the matter?" Daniel asked respectfully.

Fang Xia pulled Xiang Shaolong to his side, pointed at him and said to Daniu: "This is Xiang Shaolong. My request is that you first worship him as a teacher, exercise your body and learn skills, and wait until he tells you When you can, you can do what you want to do.”

Daniu didn't seem to expect that what Fang Xia asked him to do would be apprenticeship, so he was a little stunned.

Fang Xia continued: "Don't say whether we need you to repay your kindness, just with your current appearance, let alone repaying your kindness, I'm afraid we have to take care of you, are you right?"

Daniel seemed a little sad, but he still nodded his head in recognition.

"So, do you agree to my request?" Fang Xia asked with a smile.

Daniu didn't speak, and looked at Fang Xia, Wu Tingfang, and Director Tao in turn, the three people who had saved him. The latter two would definitely not tear down Fang Xia's platform. Ting Fang looked indifferent.Daniu's face was serious, and he finally looked at Xiang Shaolong, who was resting on the sidelines.

After Fang Xia introduced himself to Daniel, Xiang Shaolong walked to the window, folded his hands on his chest and leaned against the window frame, looking at him with a smile on his lips.Seeing him looking at him at this moment, he grinned, but didn't speak.

Daniu took a quick look at Xiang Shaolong, and when everyone was still guessing whether he would agree, he called "Master" decisively and quickly, and kowtowed three more times.

Manager Tao couldn't help nodding when he saw this, admiring his straightforwardness.

Fang Xia and Xiang Shaolong were stunned by his three head knocks, they were unprepared and caught off guard.

After Fang Xia came to her senses, she hurried to help Daniel up. Although she was surprised, she held back and said nothing, thinking that this seemed to be the procedure of apprenticeship in ancient times.

On the contrary, Xiang Shaolong quickly stood up straight and accepted the great gift.

Perhaps because the atmosphere suddenly became serious, Xiang Shaolong joked with a smile: "Wow, it's so formal. But give up, I won't reduce the amount of training just because of you, you have to work hard in the future ready."

Fang Xia reached out to help Daniel, but Daniel had already got up, and he answered Xiang Shaolong's joke seriously: "Yes, Master!"

"Hey, I look like an old man at such a young age, why did I accept such a boring apprentice..." Xiang Shaolong muttered dissatisfiedly, but he also admitted that Daniel was his apprentice.

Daniu didn't feel sad because Xiang Shaolong said he was boring, on the contrary, he respected Xiang Shaolong as much, but he didn't have the joy of being a new teacher, it was just like Xiang Shaolong said, young and mature.

Fang Xia looked at this playful master and seasoned apprentice, and couldn't help but think that they were a very interesting couple, imagining a life that might be more interesting in the future, she was so happy that the corners of her lips curled up.

Unexpectedly, at this time, student Daniu with a calm face suddenly prostrated himself at Fang Xia, calling him "Master" and kowtowed.
