The joy of taking Yangzhou City did cover up the regret of not being able to refine some middle-grade rough stones. On the way to Wuxi City, Brother Chen was quite happy and kept talking and laughing. The journey of more than two hours took almost a blink of an eye.

When we arrived, it was still the village in the city, a quiet place amidst the bustling scene.

Because we had been here once before, the guards patrolling the intersection did not make things difficult for us. After checking our small wooden sign, they let us in.

We drove all the way to Dai Zhengwu's house. As we were walking, a ragged young man suddenly appeared at the intersection in front of us. He was probably in his thirties. He was really dirty and his hair was all curled up.

There were strands of hair and a basket on his shoulders, like a beggar wandering on the street.

I didn't take it seriously at first. Even in the rich south, there are poor people living in poverty. This principle applies to all countries.

But later, the more I looked at this young man, the more familiar he looked, so I tentatively called out: "Da Fei?"

The young man immediately turned around, glanced at me, and immediately ran over, knelt down in front of me, and cried loudly: "Dad Long, please take me away quickly.

I really can’t bear it for another day…”

It turned out to be a big fly!

I was surprised and helped Da Fei up and asked him what was going on and how could it become like this?

How could a very strong man in his thirties lose weight several times in more than half a month? What kind of terrible torture has he experienced? Da Fei grabbed my hands and still cried: "Dad Long,

The old man didn't treat me as a human being. He asked me to chop wood for him and light the fire every day, so forget it. It would be fine to do some physical work... But he wouldn't even let me eat enough, and wouldn't let me take a shower.

I'm tired and hungry..."

Only then did I notice that the basket on Da Fei's shoulder was indeed full of wood.

Refining things does require fire. Master Xu used Da Fei as a human being. This is no problem. After all, he is an apprentice. It is reasonable and reasonable to do some physical work while learning skills. But why doesn't he let Da Fei eat?

What's wrong with taking a shower? It's so psychopathic!

I sent Da Fei here to be his apprentice, not to let him torment Da Fei!

Listening to Da Fei's accusation, I was really furious. I wanted to find Master Xu immediately and question him face to face. I didn't care how high his status was in the hidden killing team. It didn't matter that King Nan was polite to him.

, as long as he bullies my friend, that’s not okay!

When he accepted Da Fei as his apprentice, he was both excited and emotional. I thought he would be kind to Da Fei, but I didn't expect that he would be such a person in private.

I was so angry that I was shaking all over, and my anger surged upwards. I grabbed Da Fei's hand and said, "Let's go, follow me to find that old thing!"

Of course Da Fei was willing and immediately followed me to leave, but Brother Chen stopped me and said: "Zhang Long, calm down. I think Master Xu must have a reason for doing this. Don't come to ask questions without knowing anything. Be careful of collisions."

Master Xu!"

Collision?!

Who is Master Xu, who can afford the word "collision"? Everyone in the hidden killing team regards him as a treasure, but I, Zhang Long, don't take him seriously! In my heart, the brother is always the biggest,

Everyone else, please step aside. I, the King of Heaven, must also give me three points!

"I don't care about him!" I frowned: "I must ask him for an explanation today!"

"Dad Long, you are the best to me!" Da Fei burst into tears, leaving stains on his face.

Brother Chen still stopped me and refused to let me go. He kept urging me to figure out what happened before I got angry. He also said that a person like Master Xu would not embarrass a young apprentice. With the status of Master Xu, it is really difficult for me to get angry.

Isn't it easy to find a few apprentices to work around?

Brother Chen persuaded me for a long time, and then my anger slowly subsided. I said, "Okay, then I'll ask him first. I hope he can give me a satisfactory explanation!"

Brother Chen nodded: "Okay, then I'll find Brother Wu first. Remember, don't get into trouble with Master Xu. If there is any conflict, Brother Wu will definitely side with him, and we will suffer."

...Remember, remember! I will tell Brother Wu about Yangzhou City first..."

I nodded, said yes, and took Da to fly to Master Xu's residence.

Brother Chen went to Dai Zhengwu's place.

After many twists and turns, we arrived at Master Xu's temporary craft workshop. It was still the same low and ordinary bungalow with grass growing on the roof and a wooden door blocking it. Da Fei was already familiar with the road, pushed open the wooden door, crossed the small courtyard, and headed towards

Run to the back room.

The back room was the same as last time, dark and cramped, a candle flickered, and the air in the room was not very clear, making people feel depressed.

There was a dark room in the back room, and there was a crackling sound, and a stove half a person's height could be vaguely seen. The damper was still closed, and only a faint light of fire seeped out. A man was squatting in front of the stove busy with something. When he heard someone coming in,

Immediately a voice came out: "What the hell are you doing slowly? Come here quickly to add firewood!"

"Oh, yes."

Da Fei hurried over, took off the basket on his shoulder, opened the damper, and slowly added firewood inside.

The fire suddenly appeared, reflecting the faces of Master Xu and Da Fei.

With a "clang" sound, a piece of firewood fell to the ground.

"Clumsy!" Master Xu slapped Da Fei on the head.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Da Fei quickly picked up the firewood and stuffed it into the damper.

Watching this scene, I felt really distressed. Dafei slapped Master Xu's small body and knocked him to the ground. Why did Dafei accept the situation? Isn't it because I told him before I left?

Master Xu is your master. You must listen to his words and respect your master. Can't you be disrespectful at all?

I asked Da Fei to be a good apprentice, but Master Xu is not a good master.

I suppressed the anger in my heart and said calmly: "Master Xu, is this too much?"

"Huh?" Master Xu realized that there was someone else in the room. He immediately stood up. After seeing clearly that it was me, he said, "It's you. Why are you here?"

I came here to see Dai Zhengwu, but now I have changed my mind.

I pointed to Da Fei next to me and said to Master Xu: "Senior, I respect you and that's why I gave my friend to you, but what have you done to him?"

Master Xu also looked at Da Fei next to him and said with a puzzled look on his face: "What's the matter?"

What's the matter?

Master Xu actually had the nerve to ask what was going on?

My hands were trembling a little, so I suppressed the urge to slap him, pointed at Da Fei and said, "I asked him to be your apprentice, so you just torment him every day, let him chop wood and make a fire, forget it, as a

This is what the apprentice should do, but what's going on if you don't let him eat, what's going on if you don't let him take a bath, and what's going on if you beat him at every turn? If you don't like him, I can take him away.

Walk!"

With a cry of "Wow", Da Fei burst into tears, sat down on the ground, patted the floor and said: "Dad Long, I'm suffering. I'm even more unjust than Dou E. Please take me away quickly..."

I really want to tell Da Fei that suffering and injustice are not the same thing, and it is inappropriate to compare myself to Dou E, but now is not the time. Now is the time to question Master Xu.

Master Xu glanced at Da Fei, who was sitting on the ground crying and shouting. He seemed to understand the reason why I came here specially, and said lightly: "First, chopping wood to make fire is necessary. As a qualified craftsman, he is very knowledgeable about fire."

The control of the fire is the first priority, and the heat must be exactly right in order to refine the perfect spirit-gathering utensils and medicines! His foundation is completely zero, so he must start with the simplest and most basic;

Secondly, I didn’t let him eat, I just asked him to stop eating big fish and eat meat, and instead eat simple meals. The simpler the food, the more conducive to his mental strength. I didn’t let him take a bath because in our industry, bathing is also required.

Follow the rules, otherwise his mental power will leak out, and until he learns the rules, he will not be able to get involved in the water for the time being..."

Master Xu's theory made me stunned for a while, but he convinced me perfectly.

When I was a child, I heard a biography of Jigong saying that Jigong didn’t like to take a bath because it hurt his vitality and would affect his immortality... I thought it was funny before, but now it seems like this is really true?

Perhaps this is called the separation of rows and mountains.

I looked at Da Fei, who had lost a lot of weight and was dirty all over his body, and suddenly felt that his apprenticeship was quite effective.

"Okay..." I said, "Then why do you hit him at every turn?"

I can accept the above, but I can't accept the beating. Master Xu wants to beat him to enhance his mental strength, but I will never believe it.

"Because he is really stupid." Master Xu sighed and said, "He is indeed talented, and his mental power is the strongest person I have ever seen. But he is also really stupid, and he can hardly do anything well.

, he chops firewood in a mess, he can’t even add firewood well, and I feel like he can’t even become a craftsman with inferior products... If I hadn’t already accepted him as my apprentice, I really don’t want him anymore! If you want to

If he takes it away, then please do as you please!"

I:"……"

Da Fei's stupidity is indeed obvious to all. He is a guy who succeeds in nothing but fails in everything. I am often so angry that I want to beat him. Listening to Master Xu's complaints, I suddenly understand him very well.

But Da Fei finally had the mental strength, so he couldn't just give up casually.

Like a parent who hopes his son will succeed, I gritted my teeth and said, "Master Xu, you can beat him as you like. If he doesn't obey, you'll beat him to death!"

"Dad Long!" Da Fei shouted in pain.

"Shut up!" I pointed at Da Fei and stopped him from talking.

Da Fei had nothing to say. He sat down on the ground dejectedly and murmured: "I want to drink, I want to pick up girls, I want to go to nightclubs, I want to live a life of revelry..."

No one paid any attention to him.

I held Master Xu's hand, like a parent nodding and bowing to the teacher at the classroom door. I kept saying good things to him, hoping that he would be more patient with Da Fei.

"I also think it's a pity. His mental power is indeed unique... I'll try it again. I'm not sure whether it will work..."

"Okay, okay..."

I kept saying thank you, and finally put the matter behind me, and Da Fei was finally able to continue being his apprentice.

I changed the topic again and asked casually: "Master Xu, how are our middle-grade rough stones doing?"
