I didn't feel much about these two news, and it didn't have much impact on my life, but I continued to guard the coffin shop.
For the next three days, life was similar to that of most students. While dealing with the school's final exam, I stayed in the coffin shop.
On the fourth day after the exam, our school started the winter vacation. We didn’t say anything about the exam results. The exam results were a mess, and none of them passed. In Zi Yangtao’s words, “I’m rubbing, Brother Chuanzi, we have similar results !"
We need to know that Zi Yangtao's grades in our class at that time were sixth from the bottom, which made Teacher Yaoguang talk to me, saying that after a few years, she had to start to make up lessons for me.
I directly rejected this. There is no other way. After all, everyone's energy is limited and it is impossible to do both.
But then again, I was a little surprised about this grade. I thought I could continue to maintain a middle level in our class. Who would have thought that the grade would drop so severely.
After returning from school, just after putting down his schoolbag, Mo Qianxue's voice came from the door. She said, "Luo Dongchuan, my dad asked you to come home with me."
I looked happy, but when I thought that the four masters had strange eyes on the Luban on my left chest, I felt bitter.
In the end, the strong desire to study overcame the worry, so I entrusted the coffin to Su Xiaoman, and I followed Mo Qianxue to her house.
Her home is not too far from our town, only one kilometer away.
On the road, Mo Qianxue walked in front, I followed behind, neither of us spoke.
When we arrived at Mo Qianxue's house, we found that her house was a one-story red brick house built against a mountain. It is not luxurious, but it is very attractive, giving people a sense of classic beauty.
"Luo Dongchuan, what's the matter with you and my dad? Why did my dad suddenly accept you as an apprentice?" Before entering the door, Mo Qianxue stopped abruptly, staring at me, wondering.
I gave a wry smile and said, "Sister, it’s more appropriate to ask the fourth master for this question."
Then Mo Qianxue frowned, as if thinking of something, put down his schoolbag, took out three hundred dollars and stuffed it in my hand, and said, "Hey, when this money is given to you, the accounts between us are cleared."
After that, she took out a small notebook and handed it to me, saying, "A total of 7,000 yuan is owed to you. I will pay you back between 100 and 300 yuan every week, including today’s 300 yuan, which is just right. Seven thousand yuan."
I took the notebook and looked at it, and it was densely written with numbers.
This made me dumbfounded, so I said: "Sister, your relative owes me the seven thousand dollars. Besides, isn't your relative caught? You are totally..."
Without waiting for me to finish, she glared at me without saying a word, and went straight into the room.
I shook my head, put away three hundred yuan, and followed.
After entering the room, you see the hall, which is quaint. There are two houses on the left and two houses on the right. In the innermost part of the hall, there is a shrine dedicated to the ancestor Luban, and the four masters are meditating in front of the shrine.
Seeing us coming in, the four masters slowly got up, first nodded at me, and then said to Mo Qianxue, "Xue'er, go get some tea to the study."
While talking, the fourth master came over to me, and when he passed by me, he made a look at me, which meant that I could keep up with his footsteps.
I nodded and followed.
Entering the study, it was very monotonous. It was just a bookshelf with a coffee table. The four masters sat down near the bookshelf, and I sat down opposite him.
Just after sitting down, the four masters smiled and asked me: "Have you checked your Luban eyes these days?"
I was stunned, not to mention that since I came back from Shenwu Mountain, I haven't checked Luban's eye much. The main reason is that after Luban's eye hit me, there is nothing unusual at all, it seems to be integrated with my body.
Seeing that I didn't speak, Master Four frowned and said, "Didn't check?"
I faltered and said, "I checked it and it feels nothing unusual!"
He nodded in satisfaction and said: "Yes, as long as you feel strange, it means that this Luban eye is predestined with you."
At this moment, Mo Qianxue broke a pot of boiling water and came in, put it on the coffee table, and was about to sit down. The fourth master said: "Xue'er, let me say a few words to Chuanzi, you go get us some Chinese food. "
Then Mo Qianxue frowned and stared at me as if he wanted to say something. Seeing the expression of Master Four, he stomped his feet and walked outside.
After she left, the fourth master told me a lot of things about Lubanyan. He told me that the Lubanyan has a three-year incubation period. In other words, within these three years, the Lubanyan It has no effect. Only after three years will Luban's eyes appear strange.
I was a little disappointed about this. I thought that after getting the eyes of Lu Ban, I would definitely understand the Mohist institutions, but listening to the tone of the four masters, I had to wait three years.
If this is the case, I can accept it, but the next sentence of the four masters makes me a little unacceptable. He said: "By the way, Chuanzi, I originally planned to teach you Mohist institutions now, but now I have something private. I have to leave for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to teach you anymore, you can only be taught by your senior sister."
This made me almost jumped up. I came to learn Mohist institutions with full confidence. Who would have thought it would be such a result.
The four masters should have noticed that I was a little unhappy, and said with a smile: "Chuanzi, everything is about fate. I plan to teach you at this time, but at this time everything is entangled. This shows that you are not yet connected with the Mohist institution. It’s impossible to force it. If you force it, I’m afraid it will invite bad luck."
After that, he started to wash the coffee table, made another pot of tea, poured me a cup, and smiled: "By the way, did you bring the black ball that the teacher gave you last time?"
I hummed. The black ball mentioned by the fourth master was the black ball that he gave me when he was in Shenwu Mountain. I have been carrying it with me these days, and I have studied it for a period of time, but I haven't found it at all. What's so strange about this black ball.
"Would you like to return that thing to me?" The four masters looked at me with a smile.
How dare I refuse, I quickly took out the black ball and handed it to him without saying a word. I felt a little uneasy in my heart. I always felt that the four masters were clarifying the relationship with me. Take this black bead back.
With all these signs on the surface, the fourth master seemed to be hiding something from me.
At the moment, I asked tentatively, "Four masters, has something major happened?"
He was startled, and stopped saying: "It's nothing big, oh, yes, I always forgot to tell you, it's just a surname I gave myself, my surname is Xie, and Xie Tianze is my real name."
