Chapter 83 -83
I said, "I want to."
The old beggar took a few steps forward and pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "I have a condition. Let's start running from here and run to the top of the mountain. If you can catch up with me, I will teach you."
I looked at the old beggar and saw that he was as thin as firewood, with a hunched waist and a crutch. I thought confidently, with my current skills, it would be easy to catch up with him?
The old beggar turned around and ran away just after he finished speaking. He clamped his crutch under his armpits and limped, like a duck. I looked at his ugly running posture and smiled viciously. The daigou is no longer the daigou used to be. The daigou is now agile and light as a swallow.
I watched the old beggar run twenty or thirty meters before running. I didn't take the old beggar seriously at all, so I followed him slowly and chased him. However, after running for hundreds of meters, I still couldn't catch up with the old beggar. I secretly exerted my force and speeded up. But strangely, my speed accelerated, and the old beggar's speed also accelerated. Later, I turned to running with all my strength, while the old beggar was still in front of me.
We started to go up the mountain. I looked at the old beggar right in front of me, lifting my footsteps, panting, and wishing to grab the hem of the old beggar's black coarse cotton coat; the old beggar shook his arms away, as if swimming in the water, looking leisurely and relaxed, much easier than me. Our distance gradually widened.
There was a pavilion halfway up the mountain. When I ran to the pavilion, I saw an old beggar sitting under the pavilion, sucking a dry tobacco pot happily. I rushed over and wanted to catch him, and he spread his wings like a big bird and rushed to the top of the mountain.
A young man who claims to be as light as a swallow cannot catch up with an elderly person with disabled legs and feet. I feel very uncomfortable on my face and try my best to catch up with him. I wiped the sweat beads on my face and stepped up my steps to chase him.
When I rushed to the top of the mountain, I saw an old beggar sitting on a stone on the top of the mountain, beating his legs and saying, "My old cold legs have been useless for a long time. I've even thrown the young man dozens of miles away. The dolls nowadays really don't work."
I believed that he was definitely a senior master. He didn't bother to wipe his sweat and knelt down and said, "Senior Master, please accept a bow from me."
He didn't say anything. I felt strange, so I looked up and saw that he had walked down the mountain road for dozens of meters. His ridicule came from the wind: "Just this little thing, I want to go to the world. When I got to the world, I didn't even know how I died."
I shouted, "Senior, please stay."
He said without looking back: "Who is your senior? Who is willing to give it to your current generation?"
The mountain wind is howling, the sky is high and the earth is wide. I stand alone on the top of the mountain, my heart full of loneliness and melancholy. I hate myself for being too useless, and I am ashamed of my previous arrogance.
I watched the old beggar walk down the hills lightly, without even the courage to catch up.
I looked at his back wearing a coarse cotton coat and disappeared behind the woods halfway up the mountain, and suddenly felt lost and extremely sad.
I really want to see him again, but I don't know where to see him again.
He disappeared in my life again.
I returned to the courtyard and continued to train hard with Bingliuzi. As I said above, not anyone can be a thief, and those who can be a thief are all skilled people who have been trained hard.
During this period, we began to practice courage.
Not only do thieves require extremely fast methods, accurate judgments, alertness, but also courage that ordinary people do not have. Thieves live in huge dangers at all times. Theft is a battle of wits and courage. When they are caught, they remain calm and calm when they are in desperate situations. Only in this way can the thief turn danger into safety.
Is it easy for us to be thieves?
The best place to practice courage is the cemetery at night.
I don't believe in ghosts and gods. I have been in the Jiangxiang Sect and know that the so-called gods and ghosts are all about scaring myself. So, at night, I rolled up a straw curtain, carried the bedding, and slept in the cemetery. I looked at the moon in the sky and said, "It would be a good idea if there was a ghost, it would be a gorgeous female ghost. I pressed him on the straw curtain and made it, and I could do it as long as I wanted. Unfortunately, I have never encountered a ghost, let alone a gorgeous female ghost."
Bingliuzi is different. Although he is sleeping beside me, he keeps trembling, which is scared. I said, "We are not afraid of living people, why are we afraid of dead people?" Bingliuzi said in a trembling voice: "There are really no ghosts in the world?" I said, "Where are ghosts from? They are all made up by people."
Although I kept saying that there were no ghosts, I really encountered a "ghost" that night.
That night, the moon was hazy, and I slept in a grave. A little over ten meters away from us, there was a new grave. The wreath on the grave swayed gently in the night wind and rustled.
In my sleep, I was awakened by the abnormal sound. The sound seemed to be a digging sound, roaring in my ears. There is a way to judge the enemy's distance in the world. I put my ears on the ground and could hear the sound of horse hooves a few miles away. I stood up quietly and saw several tomb robbers digging the new tomb under the dim moonlight. According to custom, there are burial objects in the new tomb.
The tomb robbers held a Luoyang shovel in their hands. Every time they pierced, my ears would be blunt. The Luoyang shovel is a tool specially invented for tomb robbing.
Bingliuzi also woke up. I saw him open his eyes wide in horror and his body trembled slightly.
I quietly approached Bingliuzi and said in his ear: "Don't make a sound, if you want to make a sound, you will die."
Bingliuzi nodded.
This is in the wilderness, with five or six people on the other side, and holding tools; we only have two of us, bare hands, and if we find us, we will definitely kill people to silence us. The tomb robbers will never let people know their whereabouts.
Tomb robbers are also a faction, but this world is completely different from our world. In the slander of the world, people in the south call tomb robberies like meat dumplings, and people in the north call to sweet potatoes. Those who can engage in tomb robbers are all bold and unscrupulous people.
I remembered the night when I was in Jiangxiang Sect and scared away the matchmaker.
I quietly got up, climbed to a grave near the tomb robber, and then suddenly got up, jumped in the tomb, shouting loudly, "It's strange, it's fine when I left, why can't I find my home when I come back?"
The tomb robber suddenly heard the sound of talking behind him, stopped digging together, turned his head and looked at me in surprise.
I leaned forward, stretched my right hand back, and looked like I was being pulled. I shouted loudly: "Don't pull me, don't pull me, I just sucked human blood. If you want to suck blood, just find it yourself and don't suck my blood."
Then, I let out a sharp wail: "Don't suck my blood, don't suck my blood. There are a few people over there, you go and suck their blood."
When the tomb robber heard me say this, he was so scared that he threw away the Luoyang shovel and steel drill and fled in panic.
Bingliuzi and I quickly left the cemetery.
I finally had a project that could defeat Ice Slips, and my heart was filled with pride. I thought that next time I met an old beggar, I would definitely have the capital to brag.
Not long after, when I went to the market to buy vegetables, I met an old beggar again. The old beggar was still dressed up and still smiling.
He asked, "What are you busy with recently?"
I told the story of scaring away the tomb robbers in the cemetery that night.
The old beggar said, "Don't you believe there are ghosts?"
I said, "Of course I don't believe it, where is the ghost in the world?"
The old beggar bought a basket of steamed buns from a steamed bun shop. He said to me: "Tonight's third update, you can send this basket of steamed buns to the tuition store and put one on a coffin."
I said, "Okay."
A material store is a unique service in those years. The Chinese people pay attention to returning to their roots and putting them in peace. Some people are doing business outside and suddenly die. The family puts the body in a coffin and stores it in a material store. When the time is right, they will transport it back to their hometown.
At the third update that night, I came to the ingredient store in the city with the basket of steamed buns and put a steamed bun on each coffin. After more than half of it, suddenly the dead man in the coffin spoke, and he said, "I want one more."
I subconsciously put another steamed bun on the coffin. After I put it in, I felt something was wrong. There were dead people in the coffin, so how could the dead people talk? I pretended to be brave and asked, "Who are you?"
The dead man in the coffin said, "I am a starving ghost."
I suddenly heard my hair standing upside down. No wonder I wanted two steamed buns. It turned out to be a starving ghost. I threw the basket with a few steamed buns on the ground and wanted to escape, but my feet were like braided garlic, and my legs were out of control.
The coffin board suddenly opened, and a person walked out. He patted my shoulder and said, "Didn't you say there are no ghosts in the world?"
I looked back and saw that it was an old beggar.
