On the Importance of Finishing Work

That day, Yi Zhou still failed in his apprenticeship and went back dejectedly.

But Guo Jin always felt that the little boy was not so easy to give in.

……

Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, Guo Jin opened the door sleepily and went out, only to see the "shop errand" standing upright outside Brother Shi's door holding a basin of water.

It's just that the face of "Shop Xiaoer"...

Why are you so familiar?

"Yi Zhou?"

Guo Jin rubbed his eyes and called out uncertainly.

The main reason is that we only met for a while yesterday, and the other party has changed clothes now, so he still dare not recognize him for a while.

Seeing that it was him, the "shop boy" raised his chin arrogantly, and let out air through his nostrils.

——Okay, sure, after all, no waiter in the shop would dare to treat customers like this.

Guo Jin: ...don't care about the little kids in the second stage of middle school.

He glanced at the door faintly, and reminded: "There is a basin and water in the room, Brother Shi usually comes out after washing up."

Yi Zhou had stepped in this inn a long time ago, of course he knew the details.

It's just that apprenticeship... requires sincerity...

He tightened his grip on the edge of the basin, ignoring Guo Jin.

Guo Jin was not fully awake yet, so he reminded him, and he didn't care whether he replied, so he rubbed his eyes and walked down.

But when he reached the stairs, he became a little sober, paused on the spot, and suddenly showed a malicious smile on his face.

He backed up and returned along the original road, stopped beside Yi Zhou, and said with a mean smile: "Anyway, Brother Shi doesn't need it... It's hard work for you to carry it for so long..."

"Come on, you call 'brother', brother helps you use it, it's a waste of your filial piety..."

Veins popped out on the back of Yi Zhou's hand holding the basin, and he had to hold back to not splash the basin of water on his face.

He gritted his teeth, but considering Shi Yue in the room, he had to lower his voice and warn: "Get out!"

Early in the morning, after teasing a wave of middle and second-stage kids, Guo Jin was so refreshed that he walked with wind.

Sure enough, as he said, when Shi Yue left the house after washing, Yi Zhou stood on the basin all morning, which was of no use at all.

……

This morning, Yi Zhou really opened Guo Jin's eyes.

——This child is a talent in the service industry...

This week is more thoughtful... Five-star praise is almost here.

Guo Jin was about to be moved by him, but Shi Yue didn't seem to be moved at all.

After thinking about it, Guo Jinlue realized that Brother Shi was a young master before time travel... he should be used to being served by others.

Thinking of how Brother Shi gave orders in a natural tone when he was in the Devil's Cult, Guo Jin became more and more sure of his guess.

Anyway, this kid did really well.

Guo Jin originally thought that according to the child's temperament, he would not hold on for long, and would soon give up, but... he actually endured it?

You can't say "forbearance" either, the other party has a calm face, and doesn't even think it's a big deal to be rejected repeatedly.

In the end or soft-hearted.

When it was time to go out, Guo Jin fell behind, intending to comfort the child.

Guo Jin: ... Well, I'm such a good person.

He was so emotional, but saw that Yi Zhou listened to his persuasion, but looked up in confusion, "How can this be considered a 'grievance'? Those who want to learn from my father have done much more than this..."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly came to his senses, squinted at Guo Jin, and said suspiciously, "You won't... want to drive me away... learn by yourself..."

The more he talked, the more he felt that this was the case, Yi Zhou looked at Guo Jin vigilantly, and even hid away.

Guo Jin: ...

Md, if you care about this kid again, he is a dog.

After feeding the dog with good intentions, Guo Jin sneered at Yi Zhou twice, and stepped forward quickly, keeping pace with time.He also deliberately turned around and smiled at Yi Zhou, which can be said to be very annoying.

Yi Zhou: Gritting your teeth! !

Such a person who doesn't respect the teacher and respect the way, why on earth does the "master" take a fancy to him? !

When the three of them arrived at the teahouse one after the other, they found that what the storyteller said today was not about the Devil's Cult.

Recalling his inquiry yesterday, Guo Jin was embarrassed... I am afraid that this old gentleman was frightened.

Today we are talking about the story of Lu Weidu, a wealthy businessman in Mobei.

This Lu Dashan, who suddenly appeared in Mobei 15 years ago, went back and forth to do business three or five times, and turned a lot of money.

At that time, horse thieves were rampant in Mobei, but his goods were safe every time, and he was not robbed once.

For such a fate, everyone in the same path is envious...even most of them are jealous.

However, Lu Dashan is kind and generous, giving porridge and giving free clinics... He has earned a good reputation among the people in Mobei.

But the one who really spread his name of "Bodhisattva Lu" was that he begged the people of Jianghu with a lot of money to help them wipe out the horse bandits in Mobei...

Now, the merchants in Mobei can be stabilized, and the righteous men of the rivers and lakes get money and fame... Of course, both parties are full of praise for this person.

It's a pity that good people don't live long.

"Bodhisattva Lu" is not a real Bodhisattva after all. He traveled back and forth when he was young, and finally became sick from overwork...and fell ill two years ago.

The Lu Mansion made great fanfare and invited many genius doctors, but none of them could do anything.

A month ago, this "living Bodhisattva" finally died of illness.

Of course, those people watching the fun in a small southern town don't care whether Lu Dashan is dead or alive. The reason why the teahouse is so lively right now is because of Lu Weiwei's dying words.

Since Lu Weiwei has no descendants, he set up three checkpoints during his lifetime, and threatened, "The person who can pass the three checkpoints will be the new owner of Lu's Mansion."

——That is to say, all the wealth of the Lu family belongs to that person.

As soon as these words came out, the people in the whole teahouse erupted. In the noisy room, someone asked the storyteller loudly, "What are the three levels?"

The rest of the people also repeatedly asked questions.

The storyteller slapped his fan twice with a smile, "If the old man knows the inside story of the level... even if he gets rid of this old bone, he will go to Mobei for a while."

The people below burst into laughter, some of them were acquainted, loudly encouraged the old man to try it; some people showed some emotion, and asked the storyteller a lot of inside information.

Shi Yue listened to the noise in the teahouse, but lowered his eyes halfway, lost in thought.

Speaking of...

His mission item this time, on the system map, is displayed in the north.

And this "Lu Weiwei"...

He frowned slightly.

With so many speculations in his heart, Shi Yue temporarily suppressed them, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Guo Jin's face eager to try.

Shi Yue: "Do you want to go?"

Guo Jin obviously paused for a while, sighed, and said reluctantly: "...Forget it, we just learned martial arts not long ago, so we should not join in the fun..."

The discussion among these people in the lobby has reached the stage of "fighting to determine the outcome".

They talked enthusiastically on their own, and analyzed the content of the three levels clearly and logically.Guo Jin was listening, and even thought it made sense.

After Yi Zhou heard the words, he suddenly raised his head.

——"Just learning martial arts", and "us"? !

He couldn't help taking a peek at Shi Yue, and then quickly looked away.

...if that's the level you're just learning.

Yi Zhou clenched his hands under the table vigorously, and his idea of ​​"apprenticeship" became more firm.

——For a genius like him, of course he needs to find a master who is even more talented than him.

"I..." Yi Zhou looked carefully at Shi Yue's expression, and found that he was a little interested in this matter, and immediately said, "My family and Lu's House had some business contacts. If you plan to go, I can lead the way..."

——Master, look at me, I am useful! !

Guo Jin looked at Yi Zhou with some incomprehensible words: He is a child in first grade and second grade, why did he become a licking dog when he met Brother Shi?

Guo Jin was eager to try, but he was worried that his martial arts were not as good as others, and he would encounter some danger.

But now that Yi Zhou said so, thinking about being a "partner" in the past, the risk factor can be said to be greatly reduced, and of course he has no reason to refuse.

As for Yi Zhou's stinky face of "I didn't let you go with me"...

Guo Jin doesn't care at all: having a thick enough face is the basic quality of an adult.

In short... With Yi Zhou on the front and back, and thoughtful service, the road to Mobei all the way couldn't be smoother.

The flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River, the loess in Guanzhong, and the lonely smoke in the desert in the north of Mobei...

Along the way, walking and seeing a lot, Guo Jin calmed down visibly.

The most obvious change...

The choking between him and Yi Zhou more than doubled.

Entering Mobei, pedestrians are much more visible to the naked eye, and most of them are gangsters with swords on their waists and scars on their faces.

——In short, it has a fierce look of "Don't fight me".

If Guo Jin was half a year ago, among this group of ruthless people, he would have been a shivering little chick.

But at this moment, although he is still a "chicken" in terms of force, he is as stable as an old dog in appearance.

#The value of military force can’t go up, but it’s still possible to pretend to be strong#

……

But when he really arrived at "Lu Mansion", Guo Jin's first impression was——

This is probably not a serious selection...

Before the official checkpoint, there is a preliminary selection process: just write out a certain chapter of "The Analects" silently.

Compared to the Lu family's tens of millions of wealth, this small request is even too simple.

...but still brushed down a bunch of good guys.

What is more spiritual is that a big brother gnawed on the brush holder for a long time, with a constipated expression on his face, but he didn't hold back a word.

Finally, he threw the pen, slapped the table angrily, and shouted loudly: "I am the son of elder Li Ping of the Mingshan Sword Sect, how dare you stop me?!"

Guo Jin pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, wanted to laugh but held back.

——Even if you go through the back door, it's not so open and aboveboard?This big brother...is not very smart.

But what happened next made Guo Jin's eyeballs almost fall off.

The manager paused for a moment, and a flattering smile appeared on his chubby face, "So it's Mr. Li, offend me."

then……

That's how people get over it.

Guo Jin:? ? ?

This, this... is too casual, right? !

"Mingshan Sword School, is it very powerful?" He questioned.

Yi Zhou was born in a family of martial arts, so he knows more about the world.

"Mingshan Sword Sect, Yulin Sect, Luoxia Palace, Lujiazhuang...there are four top martial arts sects in the Central Plains." He paused, and then said, "...If there was not a sword master in Lujiazhuang, this It cannot be compared with the first three..."

Guo Jin:? ? ?

The doubt on his face not only didn't disappear, but grew even bigger.

——He suspected that what he read in the Demon Cult was a bunch of false information.

He did know "Lujiazhuang", but the other three...

Among the second-rate sects, there are indeed a few sects with "Lin" in their names, but he can't remember whether they are "Yu Linzong".

As for the "Mingshan Sword Sect" and "Luoxia Palace"...it was the first time he heard of it today...

The bewilderment on Guo Jin's face was too obvious, and Yi Zhou wanted to continue explaining, but was interrupted by another person.

"This little brother is right, but... that was 20 years ago."

A deep and magnetic voice sounded behind the two of them.

Yi Zhou's hair exploded, and he couldn't help jumping away from the spot: Before the man made a sound, he didn't realize that there was someone standing behind him at all.
