Dingxiang Building Backyard

Ma Jin looked at the little black fat man in front of him with a smile on his face.

The little black fat man looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old. He was not tall. He had a little black fat face, and was slim. He had two shallow dimples on his cheeks on both sides. His face was smiling and he looked very festive.

"Reply to Master, my boy's surname is Guo..."

"Wait a moment."

Ma Jin raised his hand to stop the fat man from talking to him and said with a smile: "Don't call me master, you haven't become a disciple yet."

The fat little black man smiled and said, "As soon as possible, you should get used to it first."

"It's quite confident." Ma Jin raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

"hey-hey."

The fat guy from the little black smiled and then introduced himself: "The boy's name is Guo Tong, who is from his hometown in Tianjin. He now lives in the capital with his uncle. He is fifteen years old this year."

Ma Jin nodded and stretched his right hand forward: "Let's start."

Guo Tongqing breathed a sigh of relief and opened his mouth to speak.

"I will tell you a story about myself. My uncle and I live on Liang Street in the west of the city. There is a star-gazing tower near Liang Street. It is said that it was left by the previous dynasty and was the place where the Imperial Heaven Prison observed the astronomical phenomena.

But it is almost abandoned until now, because the star-gazing tower is tall and spacious, the children around us usually like to go inside the tower to play.

One day, I was bored at home and sneaked to the Stargazing Tower by myself.

There are three floors of the Stargazing Tower. There were three kids playing there on the third floor that day. Usually, these guys saw that I was not a local and often excluded me, so I was not happy to play with them.

I saw them on the third floor, so I ran to the second floor, leaning on the tower railings on the second floor, thinking about going home for a while. Let my uncle make me something delicious."

As Guo Tong talked, Ma Jin nodded secretly in his heart. Although the story had just begun, the fat man's storytelling sentences were smooth, without stuttering, organized, and his aura was not weak. It was a good material. Ma Jin was preparing to observe further.

Guo Tong didn't know what Ma Jin was thinking, and continued to tell the story vividly, adding actions during this.

"After a while, I felt my throat itchy, I coughed and spit downwards."

Guo Tong spitted, then said, "Before I turned around, I heard a shout from the bottom of the tower."

Guo Tong pinched his throat and learned a rough and sturdy voice: "Baby, who vomited it?"

"I'll look down."

Guo Tong made a head-strike action, then turned into a look of horror, and gestured hard with both hands up and down.

"My mother, a strong man eight feet away from below, with a big bearded man with a mouth full of flesh and a beard, jumping and cursing. The phlegm I just spitted hit his forehead."

Guo Tongpang's face was full of panic and said, "Just this strong man is so big that if he beats me up, my uncle will not be able to collect the body directly.

I am the only one in the Guo family. I haven’t married yet, so I can’t get into this place. At this critical moment, my mind flashed and I came up with a good idea.”

Guo Tong had a strong ability to incite language, and the boy was attracted by his story. Even Ma Jin leaned forward slightly, wanting to know what idea this kid came up with.

"I turned around while the strong man was about to look up and looked up, and shouted and scolded."

Guo Tong raised his head up, looked up, looked angry, and shouted loudly: "Which dog was the one who was just now? I almost spit on my face. Isn't it shameless?"

A few laughter came from the group of young people, and Guo Tong was amused, and Ma Jin also had a little smile on his face.

This little fat guy is quite thief...

Guo Tong continued to speak: "The strong man looked up and saw me cursing. He ran to the second floor. When he saw me, he pointed at the phlegm on his forehead with one hand and the other pointing upstairs. He asked me with gritted teeth, if it was vomiting from above.

I said I don't know, but it almost hit my face just now."

Guo Tong's sincere and innocent look caused laughter from the young people.

"The strong man stopped talking, rushed forward with a fierce momentum and rushed directly to the third floor. I hurriedly chased after him. I can't miss such a good opportunity to watch the fun in vain." Guo Tong said with a wicked smile.

"It's a coincidence that as soon as the strong man came up, he saw one of the three boys spitting under the tower."

Guo Tong also said it was exciting, dancing in front of Ma Jin, spitting everywhere, and reaching the state of selflessness.

"The strong man was so angry, his eyes were red, and he whistled his fists and hit him. Before the three boys could react, his big fists rushed towards him.

Oh, the fight was so miserable. Let's put it this way, in the end, these three kids were carried down."

Guo Tong looked at him with gloating and gloating, and was very happy, and Ma Jin couldn't help but smile.

After Guo Tong finished speaking, he bowed to Ma Jin and looked at Ma Jin expectantly.

Ma Jin didn't say anything, so he asked Guo Tong to stand aside first and then began to observe the performance of the other teenagers.

...

The boys began to show off one by one, and Ma Jin was also observing carefully and thinking silently in his heart.

To be honest, these teenagers are all very qualified. Although they have many flaws, it is their first performance, and Ma Jin is still very satisfied with it.

In the end, Ma Jin eliminated several teenagers with slightly worse performance, and Ma Jin left behind a total of ten teenagers.

Ma Jin comforted the eliminated boy with a few words and called a guard to send him the boys who were in a depressed mood home.

Ma Jin turned his head and looked at the ten young men who stayed there. Guo Tong was the first to react, and fell to the ground and kowtowed to Ma Jin: "Go to Master, please pay homage to Master."

The remaining nine also reacted and kowtowed. Among them, the tiger-headed boy was a little depressed and never snatched the fat black man.

Ma Jin asked the young men to get up and said with a serious expression: "Don't think that if you call me master, everything will be fine. If anyone learns badly or makes a mistake, I will chase him out immediately.

Also, you are just my apprentices now, and you can’t use my banner when you go out. If you are caught by me, you will be severely punished.”

Seeing the boy in front of him frightened by his words and looking trembling, Ma Jin nodded with satisfaction, but after the stick was finished, he had to give them a sweet date.

"But I am not an unkind person. If anyone learns well, I will accept him as a disciple and teach him his robe and mantle, and I will not treat him badly in the future."

As soon as Ma Jin said this, the young men's eyes lit up. They worshiped Ma Jin as their teacher, isn't this what they are doing?

...

Ma Jin gave a few more words and asked them to go home to clean up. From tomorrow on, they will live in Dingxianglou and learn from him.

When Lian Sheng sent them away, Ma Jin sat back on the chair, and the ten newly-acquired registered disciples were still thinking about them.

Among the ten teenagers, Ma Jin's most optimistic are the fat black man Guo Tong and the tiger-headed teenager Peng Shan.

Needless to say, Guo Tong is smart and smart. He has a sense of humor in his words and actions, and his jokes make Ma Jin laugh and have a unique talent.

The tiger-headed boy Peng Shan gave Ma Jin a great surprise. The story told by Peng Shan was nothing else, but Cheng Yaojin robbed the emperor in the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties written by Ma Jin.

Ma Jin could see that Peng Shan memorized the chapters of the Sui and Tang dynasties by himself, then changed some of them, and said them.

When Peng Shan told a story, he was straightforward, not impatient, and the atmosphere was just right. Standing there at a young age, the typhoon was extremely stable, which made Ma Jin very optimistic.

Ma Jin had a premonition that these two little guys would carry forward the art of storytelling.
