These three characters were tattooed in the middle of his back. From top to bottom, the characters were all very sloppy. I don’t know which dynasty the characters were from. I looked at the tattoo artist who came out and asked, “Master, I asked you to do three characters, but you made them look so good. You are really dedicated. I thought you just did two characters and that was it.”

"That's not possible. I used to be good at calligraphy, and today I tattooed him in cursive script on a whim." The tattoo master said, "Remember to avoid getting wet for the next few days..."
Anyway, the master said a lot of things, and then I took the excited little guy and Abao to a teahouse. I got a private room, and then said to Li Shigao's grandson, "Boy, what's your name?"
The boy seemed quite smart, and said with a smile: "My name is Li Xuxiang, and my nickname is Brother Xiang."
"Xiang..." I shook my head. Damn it. It seems that I have to spend less time on Tieba when I have nothing to do. I just kept thinking about it. I said, "Li Xuxiang, I see that you are very talented and have good aptitude. From now on, I will leave the task of protecting the world and the earth to you, okay?"
Li Xuxiang had a runny nose and stared at me with his eyes wide open. I didn't know what he was thinking. Then he thought for a moment and said, "Is there any benefit? Is there any danger? I won't do anything that has no benefit. If there is danger, we will discuss it. If there is neither benefit nor danger, I will never do it even if I am beaten to death."
"Well, what do you think is a benefit and what is a dangerous thing? Tell me so that I can have a rough definition." I looked at Li Xuxiang and asked. Li Xuxiang thought for a while and said, "Benefits? Can I make money? The fat guy in our class has three yuan of pocket money a day. Everyone in our class envies him. If you can let me have five yuan a day, that's a benefit. As for dangerous things, beating our physical education teacher is not okay. I can't beat him. Beating our physical education teacher and not making money is both a dangerous and useless thing."
I looked at the silly Li Xuxiang in front of me and suddenly felt deeply moved. Such a simple child really doesn't look like Li Shigao at all. I really doubt if he is his grandson. He can be satisfied with five dollars a day. His grandfather is playing with people with 200 million in the island country. Li Xuxiang can afford 50,000 a day. As for the dangers, if I tell him that there are five disadvantages and three drawbacks, he might not be able to get married for his whole life. According to this guy's thinking, I guess he won't agree.
"Well, after you become my apprentice, whenever someone bullies you, you can report my name, Chen Haonan, and say that I, Chen Haonan, am protecting you. Isn't that enough benefit? Besides, what's the danger in being my apprentice? I'm not asking you to fight on the battlefield. When you have nothing to do, you can flirt with some decent women in class. If you run out of money, ask your master for it. Isn't that great?" I said to the little guy Li Xuxiang.
After listening to this, Li Xuxiang immediately said, "Okay, it's a deal. You said it, you have to give me ten dollars a day."
I took out a bank card at the time, thinking that this was Li Shigao's grandson and his apprentice, so I couldn't be too stingy and said, "This is my bank card. There's about 200,000 in it, which is enough for you to use for a few years."
Unexpectedly, Li Xuxiang looked at me and said, "What is a bank card? I don't want this piece of paper. I want colorful banknotes. I want 100 yuan." I can guarantee that if Li Xuxiang has to pick one thing he regrets the most in the future, this one might be on the list. As it turned out, when Li Xuxiang grew up, he would scold me whenever he mentioned this matter. Ahem, that's a story for later.
Anyway, at that time, a pure and kind-hearted child was accepted as my apprentice. However, he knew a lot about me, so it was impossible for him to stay here and teach me all the time. I could only leave some things for him to figure out when he grew up. But when I really chose what to leave, I remembered that I didn’t know what to leave. After all, my talismans were basically high-powered talismans, and there were only a few of them. There was really not much I could leave for him. Finally, I had no choice but to call Li Shigao and tell him about the situation here. Li Shigao immediately sent me a talisman notebook and a bunch of miscellaneous things.
But I didn't let Li Xuxiang take them. I asked Li Shigao to take them all back. After all, this kid can't learn too many things, especially when he has to study on his own in the future. If he learns too many things and can't master them, it will be a headache. So I only let the kid take the talisman notebook and told him to study it. At that time, I didn't dare to tell him that this was a ghost-catching thing. I just told him that this was the secret code of our gang, and asked him to learn how to draw, and draw more when he has nothing to do in the future.
Li Xuxiang was actually quite smart, and he seemed to understand something, but he said nothing. He just accepted it, probably because he felt that there was no harm in it, and he didn't have to pay for it, so he might as well take it. Finally, I looked at Li Xuxiang in front of me, patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Boy, remember, no matter what, you are already my disciple, Wu Jiu. Remember to do more good deeds in the future. Remember, good people will still be rewarded in this world."
I didn't know what the boy was thinking at the time. He just looked at me without saying anything. I patted his shoulder, knowing that he probably didn't understand what I said. I gave him a wry smile. Li Shigao also stared at Li Xuxiang. Finally, I said, "Okay, boy, go home by yourself. Although this is the first day we meet as master and disciple, it may be the last day we meet. I don't have anything to give you. These two talismans are for self-defense. One is called the 'Nine Star Divine Talisman' and the other is the 'Falling Banner Talisman'. You may not understand what I am saying now, but remember, don't use these two talismans easily unless it is a critical moment. You can only use them when it is a matter of life and death."
I guess Li Xuxiang didn't understand what I said, but he knew it was a good thing so he stuffed it into his arms. I thought about it carefully and it seemed that I didn't have anything else to give this kid, so I took out my wallet, took out a thousand yuan and handed it to Li Xuxiang and said, "Boy, I don't have anything good to give you, so I can only give you some money. Maybe we will meet again in the future if we are destined." After that, I walked out of the door of the teahouse private room. Li Shigao also sighed, picked up Abao with a reluctant look on his face and walked to the door.
I led Li Shigao and Abao to the street corner, turned to look at Li Shigao and asked, "Old Li, how does it feel to have a grandson?"
Li Shigao smiled and said, "What else can I do? I feel really sorry for him, but I am powerless now. I can't take him back to Maoshan. Maoshan is in such a mess right now."
