Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

Chapter 273 Apprenticeship

Lin Shu stood outside the ox cart and heard low sobbing sounds coming from inside.

My face is twitching!

How could her black kid cry so much?

Forget it, it’s all her fault as the head of the family.

Lin Shu got into the ox cart and sat next to Heizi, who was crying and holding his head.

He held the huge tiger head in his arms, stroked it, and gently wiped the moisture from the corners of its eyes.

"Hei Zai, I didn't chase you away.

You are the baby raised by Baozi and Luotangshu, and you are also my baby.

You are an adult now and you should have your own life."

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Heizi opened his mouth and looked at Lin Shu accusingly, tears as big as beans rolling down the tiger hair around his eyes.

[You chased me away again, you unscrupulous master who doesn’t keep his word.]

“Hahaha, you cry so ugly.

Never mention it again unless you volunteer.

Be good, after we settle down, I will buy you a few mountains to run around in.” Lin Shu laughed unscrupulously.

He looked so unreliable that even Baozi didn't want to believe him.

But I have to believe it.

Because my master has that ability.

Baozi jumped onto the ox cart and lay down beside Heizi.

'Papapapa~'

A few furry claws fell down, hitting the black cub so hard that he was stunned.

"Ahhh~Woof woof woof~"

The dog talk made Heizi lower his head in shame.

Get up like a dog and give the big daddy a massage.

Lin Shu held back her laughter and left, deeply understanding.

Young people are still too naive and have experienced too little of the beatings of society.

[It seems that Baozi has to take action to deal with the naughty child. 】

Because of a spur of the moment thought, Heizi suffered as a result.

Lin Shu didn't think she did anything wrong at all.

Now, I have taken the initiative to give Heizi a chance. If he makes trouble again in the future, he will only be beaten.

...

"Shuwawa, come here." Shopkeeper Qing waved to Lin Shu.

After dinner, Lin Shu, who was strolling with her two pets, was called to the group of men.

A drowned rat with no way to cross the open road will naturally hide in an ox cart.

"Shopkeeper Qing, what do you want from me?"

Lin Shu glanced at the men present, they seemed to represent their respective vehicles.

Because my eldest brother is also in there.

"I heard from Hongyi that you are going south to look for relatives. Do you know the exact address?" Shopkeeper Qing said kindly.

“I don’t know the exact address, I will slowly look for it when I get there.

If you really can't find one, just start your own business." Lin Shu glanced at her elder brother and blinked.

“We were in the direction of the Imperial City from Dali County when we were dispersed by the tide of refugees.

No matter what, you have to look for it and don’t let yourself have any regrets. "

"Well done to the responsible brothers." Shopkeeper Qing clapped his hands and cheered.

“We will go to Yizhou and settle in King Yi’s territory.

It is said that Prince Yi was strict in military discipline and never treated his subordinates harshly.

Today, there is a serious population shortage and a large amount of land is left barren.

Now is the time to vigorously develop agriculture and increase production.

Each person could be allocated ten mu of land, and the government would provide seeds. One kilogram of seeds would be exchanged for five kilograms of grain in the next year.

Encourage the people to open up wasteland, and they don’t have to pay any taxes in the first five years…”

Shopkeeper Qing told all the latest news he knew.

Lin Shu's eyes lit up. Isn't Yizhou their destination?

If I could walk with this group of people, I would definitely have less trouble.

So, he said with joy on his face.

"We will go with Shopkeeper Qing. Please take care of us along the way."

"Hahaha, easy to talk about."

Shopkeeper Qing said, touching his chin which was covered with stubble.

"There is one more thing that must be decided."

"What's the matter?" Lin Shu asked puzzledly.

There is no deal between the two!

"I said that as long as we pass Xiangshui Village, I will teach you all my skills.

Everyone present, please give me some face and stand as a witness.

From today on, Lin Shu is my only disciple, Qing Xiaotian."

Qing Xiaotian's powerful voice shocked everyone present, and they were so stunned that they didn't know where they were.

I was completely unable to react for a moment.

Because, it is the dream of many people to become an apprentice to Master Qing.

Even getting a little bit of guidance is their lifelong dream.

They are going to have a new young master, and he is the one personally selected by the head of the family.

While feeling aggrieved, he was also somewhat unwilling to acknowledge the existence of the young master.

The expressions on their faces were different, but Lin Shu saw them all.

She lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

Although Lin Shu had little contact with Shopkeeper Qing, she knew that he was a hidden master.

If you have such a big tiger skin to grab, you would be a fool not to do it.

Immediately, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"Lin Shu pays respect to the Master and kowtows to the Master."

'Tun-tun-tun!'

After three kowtows, his forehead became red and swollen.

But the old man Qing, who was just becoming a teacher, was heartbroken.

"My dear disciple, get up quickly.

Kowtow is just a formality, why take it so seriously?

Here, this is a gift from your master to you.

Take a look and see if you like it.

If you don’t like it, I’ll give you something better next time.”

Qing Xiaotian was overjoyed and gave Lin Shu a purse, motioning her to open it and take a look.

Lin Shu opened it and saw that it was a jade dagger as long as her middle finger.

As thin as a cicada's wing, you can see several delicate runes on the blade when you hold it up to the light.

Lin Shu was afraid that if she used too much force, the thin material would break.

He held it in his hands, not daring to move, and looked at the new master with blinking eyes.

"Master, this..."

"Hahaha, you can't tell!

When you learn my Kung Fu, you will understand what this is."

Old Man Qing kept the question in suspense and said with a smile.

"My dear disciple, don't wear these tattered clothes anymore.

With your master by your side, no one dares to bully you.

When we get to the next town, Master will buy you some new clothes and some jewelry."

Well, my identity has been seen through.

But she still wanted to struggle a few more times.

After all, it is more convenient for men to dress up when going out.

“Master, I still like to dress like this.

Convenient and unconstrained." Lin Shu said obediently.

She didn't make any arguments and just spoke her true thoughts.

Inadvertently, it touched Qing Xiaotian's heart.

He has been bound by clan rules all his life, so why would he restrict his own apprentice?

My little disciple should be pampered.

Come however you want.

"Okay, as long as you like it.

Don't feel any psychological burden, Master can ensure that you will have no worries about food and clothing throughout your life."

"Wow, Master, you are so awesome!

On the way to escape, we didn't dare to take out the food we had, so we had to eat grass roots and tree bark.

Just thinking about those days makes me unable to sleep.

For a long time, we hid in the mountains.”

Master Qing's few words dispelled Lin Shu's doubts.

If his identity is revealed, the worst that can happen is that he can just change back into women's clothes.

At this moment, apart from the six big guys, there was nothing worth plotting against her.

Besides, how much waves can a wandering little country girl make?

The master took her in as his disciple, which was a huge win for her in every way.

From now on, she has someone to back her up.

...

“Alas, I have suffered so much at such a young age.

No wonder he speaks and acts much more maturely than his peers.

Shu'er has suffered, and Master is here for everything." Qing Xiaotian said with sympathy.

In order to end his responsibility to the Qing family, he never married in his life.

Now, he also has an apprentice.

Of course you have to pamper her well and not allow anyone to bully her.
