Eating life is the dialect of Songhu area, which means to be beaten. Li Muye didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at this time, but Mustache's intention to make him leave immediately was not difficult to understand. The moustache walked away calmly, and Li Muye hurriedly followed.
After walking out of the station area one after another, Moustache suddenly stopped and turned around and said: "Okay, I will take you here. They didn't follow. Be careful not to be encountered by them again."
Naturally, they refer to the guys who played the endgame. Li Muye looked at Mustache in surprise, and asked, "Did they follow us just now?"
The mustache nodded, took out the money he just won from his pocket, and took one out and handed it to Li Muye: "Hey, you have a share, this is yours, take it."
"I didn't do anything, why did you give me the money?" Li Muye took it hesitantly.
The moustache glanced at his watch, and said impatiently, "I will treat you as a godfather."
This is not a good word, Li Muye could see that the other party refused to be thousands of miles away. Although he was very curious about his ability to drill chess with his fingers, in this case, he couldn't brazenly propose to go with others.
Mustache Xu felt that this attitude towards a child was a bit too much, and then casually said, "Is it run out of the house?"
Li Muye nodded and said, "Yes."
The mustache said: "Then listen to my last persuasion. If you can go home, you should go home as soon as possible. Life outside is not so pleasant." After speaking, he left Li Muye and went away.
"I just want to know how you used your fingers to drill a hole in the chess piece." Li Muye asked loudly, looking at the back of the mustache.
"Don't you see that this is real kung fu?" Moustache paused and asked without looking back.
Li Muye said, "I was by your side at the time, and I saw Mu Mo, which doesn't look like it."
The moustache smiled hey, then turned around and said: "Little bastard, I have a lot of eyesight." As he said, he threw a chess piece over. Said: "For the sake of the two characters you wrote on my back, I will teach you a good one. The reason is very simple. When playing chess, I deliberately painted a little potion on this chess piece to corrupt the wood badly. NS."
Li Muye took the chess piece and looked down at the rotten part of Mu Xin. It suddenly dawned on him. When he raised his head again, the middle-aged man with a mustache had disappeared in the crowd. Li Muye looked at the direction he disappeared, hesitated for a moment, and ran after him.
There is a shanty town to the east of the station. Outside is a small commercial street. There is a noodle stall in front of a small hotel. The moustache is eating the noodles while Li Muye is watching.
"Why follow me?" Mustache asked, putting down his chopsticks under Li Muye's gaze.
"Hungry, I want to invite you to enjoy a bowl of rice." Li Muye stared at the noodles in the bowl.
The mustache smiled, picked up the bowl and shook it in front of Li Muye, put a spoonful of chili oil in it, squinted his eyes, staring at Li Muye, and said, "Little guy, this bowl of rice is nothing. It's so delicious as you think."
Li Muye didn't dare to look at him, lowered his head: "It's better than starving to death."
The mustache retracted his gaze, put the bowl on the table, motioned Li Muye to sit down, and said, "If you go home, you won't be starving to death?"
Li Muye sat in front of the bowl of noodles, picked up his chopsticks a little hesitantly, and replied, "Who can go home who wants to hang out outside?"
The mustache sneered: "Do you think I look like a good person?"
Li Muye picked noodles with chopsticks and endured the spicy food. He couldn't help coughing, his eyes filled with tears, and he still chewed and swallowed bit by bit: "It's no good for a good person to have enough food. You have the ability to eat."
Mustache: "Is this meal delicious?"
Li Muye: "It's not tasty, but as long as you can live, you will be able to eat well one day."
Mustache: "You have a bit of courage and ambition, but what if I don't plan to reward you for this bowl of rice?"
Li Muye: "Then I will always follow you."
The mustache laughed blankly: "You still depend on me." Pointing to the noodles in front of Li Muye with his chopsticks, he said: "Let's eat, eat this bowl of noodles first, you can't leave a bite, even drink the soup. "After that, I asked the store for a bowl of noodles.
"Don't say anything, clean up this bowl of noodles first, and then talk to me in the room."
In the hotel room.
"Your kid is a little bit stunned. Haven't you heard of a kid breaking a child's arm or leg, making him dumb and putting it on the street for begging?"
"I heard it, but you wouldn't do that." Li Muye said, "You have the ability to eat, so you don't need to do this kind of thing."
"A bit savvy, at least this flattering doesn't show a trace." The mustache smiled: "Is that bowl of spicy noodles?"
Li Muye nodded honestly, and said, "His voice is on fire."
The mustache said: "But if you are from Sichuan and Lakes, eating this spicy pepper is not a problem at all, do you know what I mean?"
Li Muye nodded and said, "Yes, if you want to mix with you, you have to learn to adapt to the customs in all directions."
The mustache is satisfied: "Yes, that's what it means. Not only must you understand the local customs, but you must also learn the accents of those places. You can listen to it and just open your mouth. These are all basic skills."
Li Muye was pleased: "So you agree to accept me?"
The mustache shook his head: "Not counting, at least for the time being I don't intend to let you in the door."
"What is Menzili?" Li Muye asked curiously.
The mustache said: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask. In short, you just need to know that we are not a formal teacher-student relationship."
"Not a master or apprentice, then what should I call you after you?"
The mustache said: "My surname is Li, I am as old as your father, so you can call me Uncle Li."
"Coincidentally, my surname is Li, and my name is Muye." Li Muye said happily, "Uncle Li."
Li Qizhi nodded and said, "I'll just call you Xiaoye. For the time being, you can just follow me. As for whether we have the fate of being a master and apprentice, it depends on the meaning of the ancestor."
"Master Patriarch mean?"
"Just to praise you for your savvy, this is confusing."
"Oh, I see, after all, it's a matter of yours."
"Being in my business is more than just tricking a few little thieves into eating a bowl of rice." Li Qizhi said: "Swallow pills to turn fire, flip cards, play chess, and run the rivers and lakes. You have to understand the methods. In addition to these, there are also You have to know how to do something, your eyes have to look at the style, and the three-in-class figures can see a seven-eighth point with a beating of their eyes, and they can all be able to pretend to be a ghost. What I mean by looking at Master Patriarch is to see if your kid has this perseverance and understanding."
"I really understand this time, Uncle Li, I must learn from you."
Three months later, in the herbal tea shop next to the market in Zhangmutou Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province.
"Uncle Li, let's change another person," Li Muye muttered.
"No!" Li Qizhi said expressionlessly and resolutely: "There are rules in the door. You don't look back when you cross the water and build the bridge. The preliminary work has been done. The water has been deep and shallow, and the bridge has been built. It is impossible to withdraw. "
"But that old lady is a good person, and she is alone. Her son hasn't been home for many years. He hasn't even made a phone call. Maybe he's already dead. If we cheated her of the compensation, She can't live anymore." Li Muye still felt that this matter was too much, and argued for reasons.
Li Qizhi frowned slightly and shook his head: "Don't talk to me about these useless things, the rules are the rules."
Li Muye thought for a while and said, "Why else? I have been with you for a few months. I have learned a lot from you these days and made some money. I will give you all of the money. Let's not do it. This sale is over."
Li Qizhi lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Ono, from today, let's go our separate ways."
"Ah?" Li Muye was taken aback, and asked hurriedly, "Why? Is it just because of this sale? The big deal is that I don't pay any money for future transactions. Don't want me."
Li Qizhi shook his head and said, "It's not a question of money, it's mainly because you have no fate with Grandpa Master."
Li Muye argued: "How can this happen? I have learned from you in the past few months. Don't you always praise me that I can endure hardships and have good comprehension, and I am born to eat this bowl of rice?"
Li Qizhi did not deny, nodded and said: "Yes, I must admit that you are really unambiguous in learning, but if you want to have a bowl of rice in the door, you are not just having the ability. I tell you this. Well, there are some people who are in the same class. They are not able to learn well enough for you, and they can still live well in the door. The reason is simple, xinxing, you are too old to get started, and the previous xinxing training has been finalized. Those who do our business must have Ruthless enough, you have to deny the six relatives at critical moments. You can't do it at all. Taking advantage of the fact that it is still too early to enter the industry and it is still too late to turn around, I advise you to go home."
Li Muye was dissatisfied and said: "I just don't want to lie to the old lady? Why do I go online to the point where I can't afford this bowl of rice? You said before, you can pay after you come to Dongguan to do a sale. I am a beginner, this old lady is a good person, and she is lonely and helpless, so I want to switch to another person to do business. What's wrong with this?"
Li Qizhi said: "First of all, this old lady is not alone, she has a son; second, in our business, the most taboo is the overflow of sympathy, peers may be partners, or mortal enemies, your heart is too soft Don’t even think about going far in this business; besides, if you are not yet fourteen years old, even if you really kill someone, you won’t be able to go back to reeducation through labor. You still have a chance to follow the right path in life."
He spoke very seriously, and his serious expression made Li Muye dare not say a lot of words. Knowing Li Qizhi for more than three months, he has always been a joke-like person. Even when teaching card skills, he always made a three-point joke. This is the first time I have seen him like this after so long.
Li Muye was a little at a loss, his tone was too determined, and it seemed that it was difficult to save it.
Li Qizhi looked at Li Muye and said, "Speaking of which, I will let you fully understand. To tell you the truth, that old lady is my old mother. I plan to pick her up and settle in Guangzhou this time. , The reason why I told you to do this transaction is actually to test your xinxing, if you are ruthless enough, I will accept your entry, and then put you into the rivers and lakes and let you die by yourself, but if you are not enough Ruthless, I am obligated to send you back to the right path. There are endless roads. This is for your good."
"Ah!" Li Muye was taken aback, and said, "That old grandma is your mother?" Li Qizhi nodded silently. Li Muye finally determined that he was really going to part ways with him. Suddenly felt a despondency, not only because he wanted to part with Li Qizhi, but also because he discovered through this incident that he was indeed not the material for this bowl of rice. Li Qizhi is right. In this profession, ability is second, and character is the most important. People who are not ruthless enough have too many flaws, and they are destined to not go far in this line.
Li Qizhi has been able to leave his mother for many years, but that's what he couldn't do.
"You said I still have a chance to go back?"
"The right way in the world is the vicissitudes of life." Li Qizhi nodded and said: "You go back to the north and surrender. I promise you will not go to jail. If you have a chance, we may be able to meet again." He said: "Although you didn't enter the door, But after all, I learned a thousand abilities from me, and I will break up soon. I have something to explain to you."
"You said." Although Li Muye was reluctant to give up, he was only a child in the end. Li Qizhi was determined and he could only accept the arrangement.
Li Qizhi said: "Thousands of skills are not righteous. Since you want to follow the right way, don't use it if you don't need it in the future. If you use it and cause trouble, you are not allowed to say that I taught you at any time." (End of this chapter)
