Chapter 33 Trading ([-])

I came to visit my third uncle because of Yan Shuyuan. Now that I am a student, the money is all from my parents. When I came here, I bought a bag of apples. I couldn’t afford too many.

Helpless, I had no choice but to finish the meal without any taste.

Yan Shuyuan seemed to be accustomed to the food in front of him, and he ate it slowly.

I handed over the washing of dishes to Du Ai, and Uncle Liao and I were finally able to talk about things while sitting on the stool.

"Third Uncle, life-stealing thing."

"Hey!" The palm-leaf fan in the third uncle's hand stopped, "Little Xingxing, do you understand that the wall has ears? There are things, and you can't talk about them."

I thought about it for a while in silence. What my third uncle said made sense. Even if the ghost came back without success last time, I can’t guarantee when it will happen again. He did it, and he has been kneeling for seven days, can you be tolerant?"

"Girl, you did this together, but he is my apprentice, not you. I can punish my apprentice, but you have your own inheritance, so I dare not touch you."

"Then Yan Shuyuan."

"As for the method, I told him, but I didn't let him implement it, and I brought you with me, just in case, I said just in case, if there is something wrong with you, how can I explain to A Yuan's parents? I How to explain to your parents? How to explain to You Sheng."

When Uncle Liao mentioned my master, I was stunned. I haven't seen my master for a long time.

"We already knew we were wrong."

"I can't do it, girl, A Yuan has to kneel at least."

I didn't know before, but now I found out why Uncle Liao was so stubborn, so I had to tell him about the school.

"This is the cause and effect of the two of you, don't worry, even if you wait another ten and a half months, no one will die in your school." Uncle Liao said mysteriously and returned to the house, "Duai, you put A Yuan The room next to it was packed up for Little Xingxing to stay at night."

"Yan Shuyuan, how are you?" I walked back to Yan Shuyuan's side, a little worried.

"It's okay, go and rest, you must be tired after a day's driving."

His voice was different from the loud one in the past, even slightly hoarse.

"Do you want to drink water?"

"Well, thank you."

I went to the kitchen to find a bowl, poured half of the water into it, and brought it to the yard. Yan Shuyuan drank it within a few moments of raising his head. He drank in a hurry, and some water flowed down the bottom of the bowl onto his lap.

The water stains on the leg slowly smeared out on the ground, and the color was a bit wrong. I dipped a finger in front of my eyes to check.

"What are you looking at?" Yan Shuyuan handed over the bowl.

And I, handed him my finger, it was a faint red.

"It's okay, you go to rest." Yan Shuyuan said with a normal expression.

"Why are you all right?" After I put the bowl in the kitchen, I went to find Uncle Liao.

"Little Xingxing, I have already said that I have told A Yuan before he did the work. I don't care about it as his master. This matter itself is a wrong thing in our profession. Isn't he kneeling down to me? Look, but." Finally, Uncle Liao raised his finger and pointed to it.

"Okay, since we did it together, we should be punished together." I stubbornly walked into the small courtyard and knelt down beside Yan Shuyuan.

"What are you doing? Are you crazy?" Yan Shuyuan frowned and said.

"Since your legs are all crippled, you did things together, and you have to cripple them together." After saying this sentence, no matter what Yan Shuyuan said, I pretended not to hear it.

Uncle Liao never came out again.

After seeing me like this, Duai just sighed, and then brought me a coat and put it on me.

Although the weather in April has begun to heat up, the nights are still quite cold.

The barking of dogs in the village has disappeared, and even the lights in Uncle Liao and Du Ai’s house have been turned off, and the yard is quiet, only the breathing of Yan Shuyuan and I, and the light shining on us moonlight.

I was bored watching our shadows move slowly as the moon rose.

The pain in the leg was unbearable from the beginning, as if I had lost consciousness.

I also knelt from side to side and sat on my heels.

"Why bother?" Yan Shuyuan sighed.

I thought, when Uncle Liao came out to see him later, he would always say something. I did this not only for Yan Shuyuan, but also for school affairs, and Jiang Ke.

"Why hasn't Jiang Ke recovered to before?"

"I don't know. It's also the first time I've done this. Regarding Jiang Ke's matter, I have checked many books handed down by the master, but there is no record on it. This matter is a taboo that cannot be done."

"I'm sorry." I apologized in a low voice. If it wasn't for me, Jiang Ke wouldn't have died. If it wasn't for me, Yan Shuyuan wouldn't have knelt here. Do you still have to kneel for a week?"

"I don't know." Yan Shuyuan shook his head, "If you can't hold on, go back to your room and rest. I can fall asleep on my knees now."

"No, I can sleep like this too."

My eyelids have already started to fight, I don't want to sleep, I'm afraid I'll catch a cold if I sleep here, if I catch a cold and have a fever, I really can't help Yan Shuyuan with anything.

However, sometimes the physiological needs are uncontrollable.

As soon as my head fell to the ground, I could hear Yan Shuyuan calling me, but my legs had already lost consciousness.

"Chen Xing, wake up."

I opened my eyes in a daze, and what caught my eyes was a dark night full of moonlight, and a handsome face.

"you're awake."

It's my master, You Sheng.

"Master? Why are you here?" My master is haunted. I only saw him once on the day of apprenticeship. I didn't expect him to appear here at this time.

"If someone wants me to come, I will come." Master and Yan Shuyuan helped me up.

My legs are so numb that I can't even exert myself.

"Why are you okay?" Yan Shuyuan walked like a normal person, this was not the leg of someone who had been kneeling for seven days.

"He has a foundation, why are you joining in the fun?" My master hated iron for being weak, and looked at the room again, "Come out, Liao Laosan, I know you haven't slept yet, what are you pretending to be?"

"Hahahaha! I didn't pretend, I just didn't sleep." The third uncle walked out slowly, shaking his cattail fan, "I said that your apprentice caused trouble, and you still have to take my apprentice with you. Isn't this giving her some trouble?" Do you want to eat? I can't bear it?"

"The most precious thing for us stele carvers is our hands. Apart from our hands, our legs are our legs. Our legs can travel thousands of miles. How can they be broken by you?" My master was a little angry, "It's because my apprentice is too simple that you will let him down." cheat."

"Master, what's going on here?" I looked at them in bewilderment, including Yan Shuyuan and Du Ai.
