Phoenix Destiny Chapter 9: Don’t bother me
The man lowered his head again and sawed up the wood.
, leaving Lu Mingshu and his luggage unattended.
Seeing that Guan Shi took Hui Niang and A Sheng away, she had to take the initiative to speak: "...Master?"
The wood was sawed into a long strip. The man straightened up, squinted his eyes to observe the thickness of the sun, and said: "My name is Liu Jizhen, the fifteenth-generation disciple of the Jiuyao Palace, and now I am the Tongtian Pavilion. . You worship my name, that’s the 16th generation of disciples. I don’t care what you do in the future, just don’t bother me."
Lu Mingshu was taken aback. I have heard from Grandpa before that people who learn martial arts pay attention to being a teacher and being a father for life. If they worship a teacher, they should be respected as the father. The background of the master and the disciple is even more important than the relationship between father and son. Before coming, Hui Niang also told her that having a master means having a decent elder. But, who will parents say to juniors, don’t bother me? This seems to be different from what she imagined...
"Then, Master, where do I live?" she asked timidly.
Liu Jizhen put down the wood and replaced the saw with a plane.
"Since I am in the Tsutenkaku, you naturally live with me in the Tsutenkaku."
Lu Mingshu looked left and right, there were only two crooked cabins: "This...is the Tongtian Pavilion?"
Liu Jizhen stopped and squinted at her: "Aren't you literate?"
Lu Mingshu was staring at him for a while, and he turned his head around and found out that three seal scripts had been carved on the cave behind him. She recognized that the character in the middle was Tian, and the two characters before and after seemed to be Tonghege.
So, Tsutenkaku is this cave?
"Go in, there is a row of stone houses on the left. The first one is mine. Choose which one you want to live in." After that, Liu Jizhen lowered his head and planed the wood and ignored her.
Lu Mingshu had to pick up his luggage and walked into the cave step by step.
The outside of the cave looks wide and wide, and the inside is not small. When I entered the cave, I suddenly opened up, and it looked like it had hollowed out the belly of the mountain.
The sky light was introduced in the cave, but the depths were still dark and cool. Lu Mingshu didn't dare to look anymore and turned to look for the row of stone houses.
The row of stone houses is on the left with the back of the mountain wall. An old cloth was hung on the door of the first room, and the second room was empty and full of dust.
Lu Mingshu dragged his luggage into the second room.
The stone house is very spacious, complete with tables, chairs and bed cabinets, but no furnishings.
Lu Mingshu walked out of the cave and saw a broom and rag outside the hut, and asked: "Master, can I use these?"
Liu Jizhen did not look up, but waved his hands backward.
Lu Mingshu took a broom and a rag, and fetched water with a small bucket, moving in step by step.
She had never done any of these tasks at home, so she had to remember how Hui Niang was doing things, cleaned the house once, and then made the bed.
Waiting for her to put her luggage, it was almost dark.
The sound of wood planing outside has stopped. When I went out to see, Liu Jizhen sat on the rock in front of the hut, silently watching the direction of the setting sun. The face with stubble beard made Lu Mingshu feel lonely inexplicably.
The afterglow of the setting sun is endless, Liu Jizhen's eyes fluctuate, and he asks: "What's the matter?"
Lu Mingshu mustered up his courage: "Master, what shall we eat tonight?"
Liu Jizhen frowned and seemed impatient. After enduring forbearance, he just said: "There is a kitchen on the right, look at it for yourself."
Is this asking her to cook? Lu Mingshu responded with a low voice and reentered the cave.
On the right of the cave, there is also a row of stone houses. The first one is the kitchen.
There are rice, noodles, vegetables and fruits in the kitchen, but the appearance is not good, and they are not taken care of, piled up in a mess, and they don’t look like they can be eaten. Especially fruits and vegetables, the leaves are lingering, and some are even rotten.
Although Lu Mingshu has never worked in the kitchen, Hui Niang is often busy, so he learns to wash rice and start fire.
When the sky was dark, a torch was lit in the cave.
At the dining table, Lu Mingshu cautiously looked at Liu Jizhen’s expression.
On the table is a plate of fried greens, a bowl of boiled loofah, and two rice bowls.
Stir-fried vegetables are half charred and half cooked, and I don’t know if they can be eaten if they are dark. The boiled loofah is clean, but as clean as a bowl of clear soup.
Liu Jizhen took a mouthful of rice, and then stuffed the chopsticks and vegetables into his mouth.
his face was expressionless throughout the whole process, and there was no joy or anger.
Master is not angry, so you can still eat? Lu Mingshu breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the chopsticks.
just took the first bite of rice, her face changed, and she opened her mouth "Wow" and spit it out.
What is this? It's like eating a big mouthful of sand, not cooked?
Liu Jizhen turned a blind eye, still eating food normally...
Lu Mingshu stayed for a while, then went to stir-fry the green vegetables, only to spit it out again.
is so terrible...
She stared at Liu Ji for a long time, and couldn't help but ask: "Master, don't you find it unpalatable?"
Liu Jizhen did not answer. After eating the last bite of rice, he put down the bowl and left.
Lu Mingshu stayed for a while, silently drank the remaining loofah broth, and cleaned up the dishes.
When she returned to the house, she passed by the master’s door and heard the sound of planing wood again.
The light came out from the inside and shone on the window, and Liu Jizhen concentrated on planing the wooden strip into pieces.
He stopped from time to time, facing the contrast of the lights, Lu Mingshu could imagine his focused expression at the moment.
Master, what is this doing? He doesn't seem to care about anything, he doesn't care about food and clothing~IndoMTL.com~ Housing and transportation, and her apprentice doesn't care much, he only cares about the carpentry in his hands.
Why doesn't he practice qigong, just do carpentry? Are geniuses so weird? Master... what kind of person is he?
Lu Mingshu lowered his head and slowly returned to his room.
The light came on, shining in the cold room, and only the shadow on the stone wall accompanied me.
She opened the closet, took out two tablets from the package, placed them on the stone platform one after the other, and murmured with her palms together: "Grandpa, mother, I have already been apprentice. Master is amazing. He is The most outstanding disciple of the previous generation of Jiuyao Palace was called a genius! Master was also very good to me. I cooked the vegetables for half a lifetime without scolding me. I will practice martial arts well in the future. Take care of yourself and don’t worry about me."
After two bows, I wanted to show a smiling face, but the corners of my mouth curled, but tears came down.
Lu Mingshu quickly wiped off the tears on her face: "I just miss you too much, not sad, don't feel sad, I..." There were too many tears, and she couldn't wipe them off, so she had to cry as she said, "I Just cry this time, don’t you see it, OK? Never cry again after crying...uuuuu..."
She covered her face, her tears "click" and "click" fell straight down, she couldn't stop it.
The crying slowly stopped until the sleeves were all wet and the voice became dumb.
Lu Mingshu wiped away the tears from his face, cried red and swollen eyes looking at the tablet, sobbing while saying: "Look, I did what I said, I really won't cry after crying."
Finally, I said bye bye: "Grandpa, mother, I want to go to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow. I don’t know what Master will teach me, so go to bed early!"
