Chapter 4 7 Uncle
Chapter 4 Seventh Uncle
Early the next morning.
Uncle Jiu, who had just gotten up and washed up, threw the towel he used to wipe his face into the washbasin, then looked at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai who were practicing outside:
"You two brats have been playing around all day long, and you even dared to play with your uncle's guests a few days ago. You are so bold!"
"I'll add another quarter of an hour to my morning practice. I'm going to see if I can get rid of the mischievous spirit in you two today!"
At the end of his speech, Uncle Jiu picked up the rattan stick that was always placed in front of the door and walked up to Qiu Sheng and Wencai who were doing horse stance exercise.
brush!brush!brush!
The rattan sticks made a rustling sound when they were hit in the air. Looking at Qiu Sheng and Wencai, the two of them couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing the master coming over with the cane, Qiu Sheng subconsciously stepped aside to let Wencai out:
"Master, I have been practicing very hard recently, and you said that my practice is pretty good, so why don't you supervise Wencai first?"
"I also feel that Wencai has been too lazy recently, which has damaged your reputation, Master!"
After hearing Qiu Sheng directly sell out his brother, Wencai quickly explained to his master:
"Master, I really practiced hard, and the last time it was Qiu Sheng's uncle who was the guest, not me!!!"
This was a big matter that needed to be explained clearly, and he knew that it would not be easy for Master Jiushu to let go of the matter of playing with his uncle's guest.
Sure enough, when Uncle Jiu heard Wencai talking about the guests who were playing with his uncle, he suddenly turned his gaze to Qiu Sheng, who was doing horse stance with a red face from exhaustion:
"Good boy, you still dare to pretend with me? It's been less than two quarters of an hour and your face is already red?"
When he said this, Uncle Jiu's face changed, and then he suddenly whipped Qiu Sheng's legs with the cane in his hand:
"brush!"
Hearing the sound of breaking air, Qiu Sheng no longer cared about pretending, and with his legs exerted force, he did a backflip and dodged the master's cane:
"Ah... Master, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding... Master, please listen to my explanation..."
Seeing that his pretense was exposed, Qiu Sheng's first reaction was to run, and then he explained to Uncle Jiu while running.
However, Uncle Jiu couldn't help but sneer at his lively appearance:
"Hehe... misunderstanding? Today I will let you misunderstand to the end and see how many whippings you can take!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Jiu walked over with a rattan stick in his hand. In the blink of an eye, the charity cemetery became chaotic.
Looking at this familiar opening pattern.
Wencai, who was struggling to do horse stance on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his head away from the two people who were making a fuss.
Trying to avoid the master's sight.
However, just as the farce was about to begin, there was a sudden knock on the door of the charity cemetery:
"Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock! Qiu Sheng, Qiu Sheng, please open the door quickly. Your aunt wants you to go back to the shop as soon as possible."
Hearing the knock on the door, Uncle Jiu put down the cane in his hand and then gave Qiu Sheng a look:
"Go open the door and see what's going on."
Seeing that he had escaped a disaster, Qiu Sheng subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then walked towards his savior:
"Oh, it's the fishmonger Qiang, what's wrong? Why is my aunt so anxious to come see me all of a sudden?"
After opening the door, Qiu Sheng saw the fishmonger Qiang pulling a cart.
The fishmonger often traveled between towns, so when the shop occasionally had something to do, his aunt would ask him to help pass on messages. Seeing Qiu Sheng open the door of the charity cemetery, the fishmonger said to Qiu Sheng:
"Qiu Sheng, your aunt wants you to go to the shop quickly. She said your seventh uncle is back and wants you to go and see him."
"And your aunt said that this matter is urgent, you must hurry!"
After saying that, the fishmonger Qiang drove his cart towards the fish market outside the town.
He had to transport another truckload of fish while it was still early. The market was good today and fish were selling fast, so he had to take this opportunity to make more money.
Seeing the fishmonger leave, Qiu Sheng hurriedly turned around and ran to the charity cemetery to ask for leave from his master:
"Master, I need a leave. My aunt asked me to go to the shop to see her. It's urgent!"
After hearing what Qiu Sheng said, Uncle Jiu, who was sitting on the armchair drinking tea, seemed a little surprised:
"Hmm? Didn't your aunt say that she would practice at the charity cemetery on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and go to the store on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday? What's the hurry?"
Originally Qiu Sheng had the qualifications, but on the one hand he was rather naughty, and on the other hand Qiu Sheng's aunt did not quite approve of his practicing martial arts, so Qiu Sheng did not really improve his skills.
He can't be considered his successor at all.
He had told Qiu Sheng's aunt before that he should not be disturbed by things happening in the store while practicing.
It's so urgent now, it's definitely not the charity cemetery's business.
Hearing the master's question, Qiu Sheng, who was carrying a bicycle, was also surprised and said to Uncle Jiu:
"Master, the fishmonger said that my seventh uncle has returned, and my aunt asked me to go and see him as soon as possible."
"I didn't expect that after so many years of no news, my seventh uncle would suddenly come back. I have to go check on him right away. If I go too late, my aunt will be really angry!"
After hearing what Qiu Sheng said, Uncle Jiu didn't even bother to drink his tea anymore. He quickly put down his teacup and stood up.
"Are you talking about your seventh uncle? The one your aunt asked you to take care of in his old age instead of the one who came here to learn skills?"
"If that's the case, then I have to go take a look, and I can also talk to him about your training."
In the past, Qiu Sheng had only heard of his seventh uncle but never seen him. Now that he has come, he has to go and see him.
Then, Qiu Sheng took Uncle Jiu on a bicycle and headed towards the shop in the town.
At this moment, Wencai, who was practicing martial arts, saw the two people riding bicycles and quickly chased after them:
"Master, Qiu Sheng, where are you going? Wait for me, wait for me!!"
Wencai watched the two people going to the town together but not taking him with them, so he ran faster, regardless of his fatigue from practicing.
He managed to catch up with the two people's bicycles by relying on his own two legs.
Wencai ran to keep pace with Uncle Jiu, while balancing his breathing, he asked Uncle Jiu and Qiu Sheng:
"Master, why don't you two take me with you when you go to town? I want to go to town, too. I want to see Tingting!"
Looking at this stupid apprentice who kept running beside him, Uncle Jiu sighed helplessly:
"We are going to Qiu Sheng's aunt's house to meet Qiu Sheng's seventh uncle, and Ren Tingting will be very busy recently and will not have time to see you."
Hearing Uncle Jiu say this, Wencai showed a longing smile on his face:
"I believe Tingting will definitely meet me..."
