The old ghost was amused by the words and deeds of a little adult like Luo Lie. After laughing, he said, "You little kid, are quite interesting. Well, if you can stay with me, you will be a little more happy. Well, since you two are desperate, the old ghost might as well accept you. Tomorrow, you two will leave this ghost place with my circus."

It was definitely a surprise for Luo Lianzhai to be able to leave the territory controlled by Brother Bin Abiao. The two of them didn't care about the mud on the ground and turned over and bowed. The old ghost waved his hand quickly and said, "No, get up quickly. The old ghost is with you without name and no separation, and you two can't stand such a great gift."

Luo Lie said: "Senior, please accept us as apprentices!" Luo Lie expressed his opinion, and An Zhai naturally followed closely and shouted: "We brothers will definitely respect you well."

The old ghost looked embarrassed, but he was unable to be noticed in the dark night. "It's not impossible to accept you as his disciples...but..."

The old ghost wanted to speak but stopped, showing his embarrassment. At the end, as if he had made up his mind, he said: "Although my old ghost's circus is not large, the rules are strict. If you take my old ghost as your teacher, you must abide by the rules of learning and working for three years. During these five years, the master can take care of your food and clothing, but he will not pay you a penny. You can only set up your own business after the five years. If you can't do it, you should be deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors. You must clean up the business at that time. Don't blame your master for being ruthless!"

In Luo Lie's mind, Cao Bin and Nelson's suspected smuggling must be a bad person. But the old ghost, despite Cao Bin and Abiao's great power, dared to offend him, would be a good person.

If you worship a good person as a teacher, you can not only escape the capture of bad people and demons, but also learn skills. So what else is unacceptable?

So, he winked at An Zhai, bowed his head and shouted, "Master is here, please be bowed by my disciple." Although An Zhai did not notice Luo Lie's eyes, he could see Luo Lie's actions clearly. He quickly followed Luo Lie and kowtowed three times in a row.

The old ghost was very happy, bent down and stretched out his hand, and helped the two guys up.

"I was bowed to you and I will be your master. From now on, whoever bullies you two will bully me! Okay, it's not too early, so let's sleep peacefully and let's leave here together tomorrow."

The rain was still falling, but after recognizing the master, he finally got protection. Luo Lianzhai's heart was as beautiful as a sunny day. The two brothers happily got into the cement pipe and slept beautifully for a long time.

The next morning, the rain stopped and the sun rose. White clouds were floating in the blue sky. The sea breeze blew and was filled with coolness. The old ghost woke up Luo Lianzhai and gave each of his brothers a meat pie. The meat pie must be cold, and it was still a bit dry in his mouth, but the brothers ate it very fragrant.

After eating the meat pie, he washed his face with the rainwater accumulated in the wheelbarrow truck on the construction site. The old ghost took his brothers to the road and walked about two hundred meters along the road. The old ghost turned into an old and dilapidated courtyard.

Two large trucks filled with various objects were parked in the middle of the courtyard. When they entered the courtyard, the old ghost coughed lightly, and six or seven young men and women suddenly surged out of the surrounding area.

"Master is back!"

The old ghost turned around, waved at Luo Lian Zhai, and called the two brothers to him, "Come on, come on, come on, meet them all. These two brothers are the two newly accepted young brothers by the master. In the future, you senior brothers and sisters will take care of them more. By the way, what are your brothers' names?"

An Zhai said first: "My name is An Zhai."

Luo Lie then said: "Luo Lie, Luo from Luo Guan, hunter's hunting."

An Zhai learned from Luo Lie and added: "I am quiet and An..." His Zhai word, but he couldn't think of how to describe it.

"You guys can introduce themselves according to their size, so that the two junior brothers can get to know each other." The old ghost didn't care about An Zhai's embarrassment, crossed his legs and sat on the shaft of the cart, and skillfully took out a scoop of dry tobacco from the cart.

Lao Gui's clothes are very simple, but a rod of dry tobacco is extremely particular. The dark green agate cigarette holder is native to Nanyang. It was originally a tribute from the palace, but was stolen by the eunuch in charge and spread in the market. The cigarette pole is made of high-quality yellow rosewood. Although the material used for the cigarette pole is left to make furniture, it is also expensive, and ordinary people are simply discouraged.

There are also special features of smoke pots. Ordinary smoke pots are made of brass, while the smoke pot of the dry tobacco in Lao Gui’s hand is made of copper.

The Qing Dynasty did not lack copper ore, but the copper produced was yellow because it contained impurities, so it was called brass. However, copper was refined pure copper without impurities, and the purple color appeared as the true color of copper. The brass purification process was not owned by the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the copper raw material used in this tobacco pot came from the West.

This cigarette pole, which combines Chinese and Western styles, is said to be specially made by a French businessman to bribe important officials of the Qing Dynasty. The amount is not large, and only five shots were made. The person he gave was either a king or a marquis, but somehow, the old ghost actually got one. The only drawback was that the cigarette pole was very ordinary.

The old ghost had just loaded a pot of tobacco, and a young man next to him scratched a match. While litting the tobacco for the old ghost, he introduced himself: "I am the eldest brother, my name is Zhao Daxin."

While speaking, he had already lit a cigarette for the master, so he threw away the matchstick in his hand, grabbed the second senior brother and then introduced: "This is your second senior brother Wang Tao, your third senior sister Gan He, your fourth senior sister Gan Lian, your fifth senior brother Liu Baoer, and your sixth senior brother is very rich and noble... You two are the masters who worship at the same time, who is older?"

An Zhai raised his hand and replied, "I am one year older than Luo Lie."

The old ghost interrupted at this time, "Xiao Luo Lie is the first to worship, he is the senior brother."

Zhao Daxin was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled and said, "Well, then according to what the master said, Luo Lie is Senior Brother Seven, what's An... what's An?"

An Zhai said disappointedly: "An Zhai."

Zhao Daxin smiled and said, "An Zhai, then you are the junior brother."

Luo Lie couldn't help but smirk at An Zhai, and An Zhai curled his lips, showing his grievances.

The old ghost smoked the pot, knocked off the ashes on the shaft of the car, put away the cigarette pole, and arranged: "Xiao Qi is alert, let's practice the flying knife skills with the senior brother in the future!" The old ghost said Xiao Qi, who was talking about Luo Lie, was just a little stunned, and realized that although he was not interested in flying knife, the master's arrangement should not be disobeyed. Luo Lie nodded quickly.

"Xiao Ba...what is suitable for learning?" The old ghost pondered for a moment and said, "Or stay by my side to learn magic."

Magic, also known as illusion or dizziness, was passed to the West and was also called magic.

The reason why Lao Gui calls himself an old ghost is because he became famous in the world by tricks. People call those who are skilled in playing tricks Ghost Hands, while Lao Gui is a master of ghost hands. After a while, he almost forgot the real name of Lao Gui in the world, and only remembers his nickname of Lao Gui.

Like Luo Lie, An Zhai was not very interested in learning tricks, but being able to follow his master felt that he was one level higher than Luo Lie. Not only did he make up for the regret of becoming a junior brother just now, but he had a little more pride.

Unfortunately, Luo Lie had already gone to the side of his senior brother Zhao Daxin and had no reaction to An Zhai's look of resentment in the past.

After making arrangements, the two brothers Luo Liean and Zhai were arranged, and the old ghost continued to tell the disciples about his next plan.

"In recent years, our master and apprentice have gone through the world, and have suffered a lot, and have not earned much money. Why? Daxin, have you ever thought about this question?"

Senior brother Zhao Daxin replied: "We have few people and there are not many projects that can perform. They are all programs left by our ancestors. Those who watch us perform are all laborers from the Qing Dynasty. There are not many spare money in our pockets. But the rich foreigners don't like watching our programs very much."

The old ghost waved his hand and said, "It's half right, and half wrong. We are not strong enough and we don't have many programs to perform. This is a fact, but it's a big mistake to say that foreigners don't like to read the skills passed down by our ancestors. Do you all know about the Global Circus?"

The Global Circus is the leader in the industry. Wherever it goes, it is sensational, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is hard to get a ticket. Except for Luo Lian Zhai, the other disciples of Lao Gui cannot be unaware of it.

"Mr. Andre, the owner of the Global Circus, is in Kingsoft. I went to see him yesterday. He told me that foreigners are actually very interested in our tricks and acrobatics. He has an idea to accumulate more Chinese circuses like us, and then add some Western circuses to form a new circus. Mr. Andre has already sent me an invitation. I think it is a good thing, but I still have to listen to your opinions."

The disciples had been excited for a long time, and Luo Lie and An Zhai, who didn't know anything, also heard the trick and smiled. That's right, if you can join the Global Circus, you can not only eat well and live well, but also make more money. Who would be unhappy?

"Since that's the case, then this matter has been decided. Let's set off today and take the train to New York!"

Everyone has taken the train, and there is nothing to behold. But when it comes to New York, the six senior brothers and sisters are quite excited.

It is the largest and most prosperous city in America. Compared to Kingsoft, it is simply a sky and an underground.

Luo Lianzhai had no gratitude for New York, but he was extremely excited when he heard that he could take the train. When he was at home, he only heard the teacher from the Chinese and Western School talk about this kind of thing, like a giant dragon, lying on two rails, with steel wheels underneath it. When the wheels turned, the dragon quickly moved forward. The mountains, rivers, fields, and trees seemed to pass by, and suddenly entered the cave, which was darker than the night, and there was no sunshine... The description of the teacher was already longing for. Now that he had the opportunity to try, how could he not look forward to it urgently?

The old ghost stood up, looked at the items of the two big trucks, shook his head slightly, and said, "These guys who are eating can't take the train. Andre promised us that when we arrived in New York, we would make new ones for us..." As he spoke, the old ghost seemed to be unable to bear it, but in the end he made up his mind: "Don't lose them all, just bring some fines and softness."

Zhao Daxin immediately arranged: "Download all the things in the car in front of you. The journey to the train station is not close. Master is old, so let's use the car to pull Master over."

The disciple is filial, and the master can only be relieved. Lao Gui did not make any statement about Zhao Daxin's arrangement, but called the two sisters Gan He and Gan Lian in front of him.

"Teach you two sisters to do some hard work and give you two junior brothers a dress. I don't know why these two kids actually offended Cao Bin. If you don't dress up, you may not be able to get out of this Chinatown!"

Sister Gan He covered her mouth and smiled, "Master, look at the little braids on their heads, how can they dress up?" Sister Gan Lian followed, "That's right, Master, no matter how well they dressed up, won't it be revealed when you see this little braid?"

The old ghost said in an irrefutable tone: "Isn't it enough to cut it off?"

Gan He turned to Luo Lianzhai and asked, "Are you willing to cut off your braids?"

Luo Lie nodded without hesitation. An Zhai was also unwilling to fall behind. While nodding, he shouted: "I do. Luo Lie and I have long wanted to cut off our braids."

Gan Lian stepped forward, touched An Zhai's head, and smiled and said, "Young brother is so good. Come here with your senior sister."

An Zhai was extremely impressed by his senior sister's head touching and praising. He glanced at Luo Lie proudly, and then followed Gan Lian obediently to the room.

Gan He simply found scissors in a box in the car, walked over, picked up Luo Lie's braid, and without saying a word, he went down with a click.

Tears suddenly appeared in Luo Lie's eyes.

"What's wrong? Do you feel sorry?"

Luo Lie shook his head and replied, "I remember my grandfather is here."

Anyone who wanders in a foreign country has no relatives left in China, and who cares about his relatives from time to time. When he heard Luo Lie say this, Gan He's expression suddenly dimmed. "Grandpa must feel sorry for our seventh junior brother, right?" Gan He, who was aroused of infinite longing for his relatives, couldn't help but embraced Luo Lie in his arms.

This is the first time Luo Lie has had such close contact with women since her mother died of illness. Although Gan He is nearly ten years older than Luo Lie, and Luo Lie, who is over thirteen, cannot have the thoughts between men and women, his cheeks still flushed.

"I have never met my father. When I was seven years old, my mother left, and I was the only relative of grandpa." Luo Lie took a deep breath, suppressed his longing for his relatives, and suddenly smiled, and then said, "However, now I have a master and so many senior brothers and sisters. I am very happy because you are all my relatives."

Gan He also laughed, reached out and scraped Luo Lie's nose, and said, "You are really good at speaking. Well, Senior Sister originally wanted to dress you up as a little girl. For the sake of your ability to speak, I will spare you this time."

The Gan He and Gan Lian sisters are both disguise experts. Without much knowledge, they dressed up Luo Lian Zhai as two men who are not tall but have very mature appearance. If they don’t look at palms and body shapes and faces, they can only treat these two guys as dwarfs. It is absolutely normal for them to raise one or two dwarfs in the circus that wanders around the world.

The group was ready and headed towards Jinshan City. When they walked out of Chinatown, they saw a checkpoint at the intersection. However, the brothers Anliang who were responsible for checking passers-by at the checkpoint had no interest in checking two dwarfs in a small circus that was walking around the world.

The journey is indeed not short. When I arrived at Kingsoft Railway Station, it was noon. Coincidentally, at around 3:00 pm, a train happened to be sent to New York.

From Kingsoft to New York, it is equivalent to spanning the entire United States. The journey is nearly 3,000 miles, which is more than 9,200 miles a day. As far as the Chinese people are concerned, the fare is bound to be expensive. Even foreigners cannot afford it. Therefore, although this train is approaching, some tickets are still left.

Lao Gui arranged for senior brother Zhao Daxin to buy tickets, and the second senior brother Wang Tao took off the bag on his back and took out the dry food and distributed it to everyone.

It was just some cakes made of coarse grains, and they were just pickled. It was harder to swallow than the meat cakes given by the master in the morning. However, Luo Lieanzhai was in a good mood and full of longing for the future, but he did not think it was too bad. Brothers looked at me and I looked at you, and they ate the coarse grain cakes with a smile.

The old ghost bit the cake and was about to pickle a pickle when he suddenly thought of something and said, "Old, don't we still have some jerky meat? Why are you still keeping it? Take it out and share it for everyone!"

Wang Tao laughed and said, "Master, it's still far away along the way..."

The old ghost waved his hand and interrupted Wang Tao, saying, "It's better to have a poor family and have a rich road. If any senior brother can't hold on halfway and get sick, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?"

Hearing the old ghost say this, Luo Lie couldn't help but exchange a look with An Zhai. The two brothers mean the same thing. Master is so good, and his life is so good.

When the second senior brother Wang Tao shared the jerky for everyone, Luo Liean Zhai was moved again. The second senior brother gave them more jerky than other senior brothers and sisters.

"Second Brother, we are still young and can't eat so much."

The second senior brother Wang Tao pretended to be angry and said, "Do you two say I am unfair to distribution?" But seeing Luo Liean Zhai suddenly nervous, Wang Tao immediately smiled and said, "You two are the youngest, so you should eat more, otherwise you will not be able to keep up with the nutrition and grow up. Master will not scold me to death."

The old ghost also said: "I gave it to you, just eat it. How come so much nonsense comes from!"

The master seemed to be blaming, but when he heard it, there was a strong sense of warmth. Luo Liean Zhai stopped talking and bit the jerky bite, but he vowed in his heart that he must practice his skills with his master and seniors in the future, and strive to perform on stage one day earlier and make money, and use them all to respect his master.

At about three o'clock, the station began to check tickets.

Luo Liean Zhai entered the station with his master and senior brothers and sisters, and finally saw the legendary train.

"Wow..." An Zhai only exclaimed, and his wide mouth could no longer be closed.

Although Luo Lie is not as exaggerated as An Zhai, the excitement in his heart is also uncontrollable.

The journey is long and it takes seven days and six nights. You will definitely not be able to handle it by taking a hard seat. Lao Gui is not a stingy person, and he bought sleeper tickets for everyone.

There are four shops in one cabin. Of the nine tickets bought by senior brother Zhao Daxin, only four of them are in the same cabin, and the other shop numbers are scattered in other cabins. According to conventional ideas, it is obviously more comfortable for family members to be in the same cabin than to be in the same position with people they don’t know. Then, the four tickets in the same cabin should be distributed to the master and the three senior brothers and sisters in the front, or the second senior brothers give their tickets to the fourth junior sister.
To be continued...
