Chapter 204: Hu Nanqian
Liu Shangang seemed confused and actually asked back: "What water tank?"
After hearing his question, I had a premonition that he was about to be in trouble.
I heard my master say, "Didn't you say that you sink your face in the water tank every morning and practice Qigong?"
After that there was a long silence.
I guessed that after about ten minutes, Liu Shangang spoke: "No, Grandpa Chai, don't do this. You look at me with this kind of eyes, which makes me tremble in my heart! That's what, I've forgotten to practice the martial arts these two days. You see, there's no pool or something in my house, and I can't practice..."
Before he could speak, I heard the master's dull voice: "Copy the Tao Te Ching ten times!"
Liu Shangang: "Oh."
Listening to the conversation between my master and Liu Shangang, I didn't know why, so I just wanted to be happy. I turned to look at Liang Houzai and found that there was a smile on his face that could not be stopped.
At this time, my master suddenly shouted outside: "Those two dishwashers have been in the kitchen for so long, and the faucet has not been turned on yet!"
Liang Houzai and I were so scared that we quickly turned on the faucet and brushed the bowl seriously.
Because Liang Houzai and I were not sleeping all night last night, they were a little tired. After washing the dishes, they ran to the side to rest. Under the supervision of my master, Liu Shangang lay on the coffee table in the living room and obediently copied the Tao Te Ching.
After ten times of the Tao Te Ching, Liu Shangang copied it until 2:00 p.m. It was not until Senior Brother Feng drove to pick us up. Liu Shangang breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, there was no need to continue copying.
At 3:30 pm, Senior Brother Feng took us to the train station in a prefecture-level city. Because the train was delayed, we did not take the train to Henan until five o'clock that afternoon.
As soon as I got into the car, my master took a notebook and started writing and painting constantly. On the way, I asked him how Brother Feng was doing. My master just replied, "It's almost done" and ignored me.
I stretched my neck to look at the notebook in his hand, and he wrapped his entire arm around the notebook, blocking me from reading it.
Liang Houzai started reading as soon as he got into the car. Liu Shangang brought his headphones and leaned against his seat to rest. I felt a little bored and wanted to chat with Xian'er, but Xian'er was sleeping very heavily at this time and couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed.
For me, taking a bus is a boring thing, but now no one pays attention to me, and this trip has become even harder.
I leaned against the car window boredly, looked at the scenery outside, and started to think about it without realizing it, and then I leaned against the car window and fell asleep without realizing it.
It was the same night when the train arrived at the station. The master patted my shoulder and woke me up. Then he hurriedly took me out of the car.
The station we are at is a small local station, with surprisingly short parking time. Before we could get off the platform, the train left again, and I found that no one except us had gotten off.
The master probably saw the puzzled expression on my face and said to me briefly: "Stop temporarily."
But if the temporary parking is not allowed to let passengers get off with a greeting, right?
When we arrived in front of the station gate, the station door was locked and there were no ticket inspectors at the ticket gate. The entire station looked deserted, and the equipment in the station was brand new. It seemed that it had just been built and had not been officially put into use.
Our group waited for three or four minutes in front of the station gate, and a tall and reckless man came over and opened the door for us.
He was wearing a brand new short-sleeved shirt, big shorts, flip-flops, a gold chain around his neck, a dark face, a dark hands, a figure with a tiger back and a bear waist, and a strong bandit all over his body.
My master frowned when he saw the man in front of him: "Zhao Hua?"
The man smiled and replied, "Oh, Master Chai still remembers me."
My master asked him: "When did you come out? Are you scrambling with Hu Nanqi?"
He opened the iron gate and said to my master: "It's been more than a year since I came out. Hehe, I'm sorry, Master Chai woke me up back then. Now I'm turning back to the right place. Now I'm a follower of Sister Hu."
After saying that, he looked at me again and said with a smile: "This little brother is Master Chai's disciple, right? Haha, this momentum is obviously the disciple taught by Master Chai."
As a high school student, what kind of momentum can I have? Since Hu Nanqian’s intelligence network is so powerful, it should not be difficult to know who my master’s apprentice is and what he looks like.
Afterwards, Zhao Hua locked the station gate again and led us to a small road. A tricycle was parked by the road. From time to time, a strange smell of fishy fish mixed with lemon fragrance floated out from time to time.
Zhao Hua put our salutes into the car tent one by one, and said to my master: "The road on the mountain is narrow and the car cannot be driven in. Master Chai, don't think my car is not good."
My master pulled the edge of the car tent and got into the car, shook his nose and asked Zhao Hua: "What does it smell in your car?"
Zhao Hua smiled awkwardly: "This three-wheeler was borrowed from a fishmonger. I sprayed two pots of air freshener but didn't cover the fishy smell."
I followed my master into the car and saw our luggage and a few stools coming out of the tent. Two bottles of used air freshener were thrown in the corner. The surface of the bottle was light yellow. I saw that the words "lemon fragrance" were written on one of the bottles.
Because the smell in the tent was too strong, the master asked us to remove the tarp on the roof. After that, Zhao Hua started the car and rushed to a mountain not far away.
I also found out that outside the station was a large area of undeveloped wasteland, with no buildings around it, only a large area of weeds and a few hills. There was only a very narrow dirt road along the edge of the station, and at the end of the dirt road, a hill that looked very steep. That mountain seemed to be the destination of our trip.
Although Zhao Hua's tricycle was in a mess, it ran surprisingly fast. When he drove us on the dirt road, a lot of dust rose from the back of the car. At the beginning, the road was quite flat, but within a few minutes, the road became bumpy and we were bumpy all the way in the tent.
When I was almost at the foot of the mountain, I realized that the hillside was steeper than me, and the inclination should be between forty-five and sixty degrees.
Just when I was worried that the small three-wheeler that carried so many people could drive up, Zhao Hua suddenly shouted in front: "Hurry up!"
Before I could react, the third car suddenly accelerated, and I suddenly stumbled and almost fell out of the car. Fortunately, my master and Liang Houzai quickly reached out to hold me.
The tricycle's engine made a "whip-thunderous" sound, and drove up the steep slope with full force. But when he reached the mountainside, the speed slowed down, and then it turned out to slide down the hillside.
We quickly jumped out of the car, pushed the rear of the tricycle hard, and pushed it to the top of the mountain.
Zhao Hua turned around and smiled at us in embarrassment: "This car has been around for a long time, and its horsepower is worse than before. It can't even get on such a hillside."
The master also smiled politely, but didn't say anything.
After walking through this steep slope, it was a very flat hill. I think this hill seemed to be considered flat. It was too flat and the area was similar to the football field in the school. A villa with a very exquisite appearance was built at the center of the flat roof, and a circle of flowers and plants were planted around the villa.
When Zhao Hua parked the car at the door of the villa, he accidentally twisted the accelerator and rushed out with a "whimper" sound, hitting the exterior wall of the villa, making a muffled sound.
Immediately afterwards, a woman's voice came from the room: "Huazi, what are you doing?"
Listening to the accent, the person who speaks is definitely a real Henan native.
Zhao Hua also responded at the top of his voice: "It's okay, I didn't get the car done just now, so I hit it."
Not long after, the door was opened and a woman wearing a yoga suit and a jumping towel around her neck walked out of the villa.
As soon as she came out, she looked at the wall opposite the tricycle and asked Zhao Hua: "Where did you hit me? Is it okay?"
Zhao Hua smiled and said, "It's okay, there's a wheel mark on the wall."
The woman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and first said to Zhao Hua: "Everyone is right and you're all right." Then she turned her head and smiled and greeted my master: "Master Chai, don't be fine."
My master didn't salute, but just smiled: "Sister Hu has become younger and younger over the years."
Sister Hu? Hu Nanqian?
I looked at the woman standing at the door, but no matter how I looked, I couldn't connect her with the person "Hu Nanqian".
When Liu Shangang talked about Hu Nanqian coming, I always felt that this person named Hu Nanqian had dealt with my master a long time ago. Even if she was not as old as my master, she should be at least a middle-aged woman in her forties or fifties.
But the person in front of me looked like she was in her early twenties. Her facial features were not particularly delicate, with small eyes and big mouth, but it did not make people feel ugly. On the contrary, such a combination of facial features was very distinctive, and a glance could make people remember her firmly.
Like Huang Yulian, the woman in front of her also exuded a slightly lazy temperament. When she stood at the door, her whole body leaned against the door frame. Even when she just greeted my master, she just casually hugged her fist, which was not formal at all.
I stared at the woman in front of me for a long time. Except for seeing a small strand of white hair on her forehead, she didn't look old all over her body.
Although she is lazy, it does not make people feel listless. On the contrary, she also feels that she seems to be a very accompanying person.
She smiled at my master, turned around and walked into the house, and said to us without looking back: "Come in now, it's so hot outside."
The master did not say nonsense, so he asked a few of us to pick up our luggage from the tricycle and then took us into the house.
