Chapter 52 Master Duan (1)

After breakfast, Qingshu changed into a lotus-colored dress. The earrings and collars he wore were all taken off, leaving only Buddhist beads on his wrist.

After changing his clothes, Qingshu complained to Mrs. Gu: "Grandma, please let me make some dirty clothes for me!"

Her clothes are brightly colored and cannot withstand dirt. She will definitely not be able to wear these clothes when practicing.

Old Mrs. Gu smiled. She thought about practicing qigong before she saw it: "When Master Duan promises to accept you as his disciple, I will ask someone to make you a few dirty clothes."

Qingshu clenched his fists: "Grandma, I will definitely let Master Duan accept me as his apprentice."

Old Mrs. Gu did not hit Qingshu and decided to make her happy first.

More than a moment later, the grandparents and grandchildren arrived in front of a low house.

Qingshu said in a little puzzled manner: "Grandmother, don't you say that Master Duan is the chief escort of the escort agency? Since he is the chief escort, he will definitely make a lot of money, so how could he live in such a shabby place?"

Old Mrs. Gu knew Master Duan’s background very well, and naturally knew why he lived here. However, she felt that there was no need to tell Qingshu about this, so she smiled.

Qingshu thought she didn't know, so he didn't continue asking.

After knocking on the door several times, a hoarse voice sounded: "Wait a minute."

Qingshu saw that the woman who opened the door was a woman with a 50-year-old hair and frosty face. She said, "Is this Master Duan's home?"

Aunt Duan asked in confusion when she saw the grandparents and grandson, "Are you here to find him?"

These days, all men are here, and it is the first time that the old lady brings a little girl to her. So Aunt Duan didn't think about becoming a disciple.

Old Mrs. Gu said, "Yes, we are here to find Master Duan. Is he here?"

The woman nodded and said, "Here, come in!"

When the grandparents and grandson walked to the yard, they smelled a strong smell of medicine. Qingshu hated the smell of medicine the most, and his brows frowned.

In the yard, a man with a dark complexion and short clothes was chopping wood. With an axe, the wood as thick as an adult's thigh was split into four sections.

Qingshu's eyes were straightened, this was not something ordinary people could do.

The woman walked up to the man and said, "Boss, this aunt is here to find you."

The man put down the axe in his hand, took the towel on his shoulder and wiped his sweat, then asked, "Who are you? What's the matter with me?"

As Qingshu imagined, Master Duan should be a burly and stubborn person. As a result, Master Duan is only of medium size and is relatively thin, which is completely different from what she imagined.

If Old Mrs. Gu hadn't said it confidently, she wouldn't believe that the other party could kill more than a dozen bandits by one. It turns out that people should not behave like appearances and the sea water should not be measured.

Qingshu raised his head and said, "Master Duan, I heard that you are very skilled in martial arts and want to practice martial arts with you."

Master Duan refused without thinking: "I won't accept disciples, please come back!"

A gentleman promises a thousand gold, and since he says that he will not slap himself in the face without accepting disciples.

Old Mrs. Gu said simply: "Be good, Master Duan is unwilling to accept apprentices, so let's go back!"

Master Duan couldn't help but look at him sideways. Over the past two years, those who have been apprenticing to him have always tried every means to make him nod and agree, but of course they all returned in vain in the end.

Qingshu said with a naive look on his face: "I never thought of becoming a disciple. I just wanted to learn some leg and foot skills so that I could protect myself even when I encountered danger."

Master Duan was a little surprised, but he shook his head and said, "I won't teach you, please come back!"

The smell of medicine is getting stronger and stronger, and it makes people feel uncomfortable when smelling it.

Qingshu thought about it and said slyly: "I won't let you teach you in vain, I will pay."

Living in such a dilapidated house and the smell of medicine in the yard shows that the family is not doing well.

Old Mrs. Gu looked at Qingshu and smiled. This girl was getting more and more energetic.

Aunt Duan asked Qingshu before Master Duan said, "If we were the leader of you, how much money would you give?"

Qingshu looked at Old Lady Gu with anticipation. She didn't know how much it cost to hire a martial arts master, so grandma had to make the decision on this matter.

Master Duan said with a stern face: "You invite others! I won't teach you."

Old Mrs. Gu said simply: "Since that's the case, I'll disturb you."

After saying that, he walked out holding Qingshu's hand.

Aunt Duan followed and said, "Auntie, where do you live? When I understand him, I can reply to you."

Qingshu hurriedly said, "My grandmother's surname is Gu, and she lives in Dongli Hutong. You will know when you go there."

Aunt Duan looked happy. Those who live in Dongli Hutong are all wealthy families. If her husband goes to teach this girl, she will definitely not have less monthly money.

Sitting in the carriage, Old Mrs. Gu looked at Qingshu and said, "Actually, Master Duan is right. We can find another master, but we don't have to find him."

Qingshu shook his head and said, "Grandma, I just want to practice martial arts with Master Duan."

It would be fine if she didn't see someone, but when she saw someone, she recognized Master Duan.

“Why?”

Qingshu explained: "Grandma, Taifeng County should not be able to find someone with better kung fu than him. If you want to learn, you naturally have to learn from the best martial arts."

Since she knew that the old lady believed Master Wuchen's words, Qingshu would no longer hide it in front of her. Of course, it was only limited to the old lady, and in front of outsiders, she was a little smarter than ordinary children.

Old Mrs. Gu said deliberately: "But Master Duan doesn't want to teach you, and grandma has no choice."

Qingshu said confidently: "Grandma, Master Duan is very short of money, and I am not trying to become a disciple just to learn some leg skills. Even if I don't learn well in the future, it won't ruin his reputation. I believe he will agree."

After pausing, Qingshu said, "Grandma, a penny stumped the hero. Even if Master Duan is proud of his wife and children, he has to compromise."

In a short period of time, Master Duan’s weaknesses were found, and Qingshu’s keenness was no less than her. Guide her well and she would be worry-free in the future.

Old Mrs. Gu asked with a smile: "If he asks for a high price, do you want to invite him too?"

Qingshu thought about it carefully and said, "Grandma, why don't you ask him to be our guard and teach me kung fu. This can be considered a killing of two birds with one stone. What do you think?"

She was also afraid that Gu Heping and Yuan Shan would do something crazy to do, so it was reassuring to have someone with great martial arts to guard the house.

Later, Qingshu realized that she was completely worried about nothing.

Old Mrs. Gu laughed: "I haven't promised to teach you martial arts yet, but you are still thinking about having someone guard the house."

This girl's abacus was so loud that she had a slap in her style, she liked it.

"Grandma, money is not omnipotent, but you can't do it without money. As long as we can afford it, he will definitely agree."

After saying that, Qingshu asked with some concern: "Grandma, do we have any money?"

If there is not much money, I have to save money in the future.

Our two words please Mrs. Gu: "There are not too much, so I still have the money to hire a master. However, it is very hard to practice martial arts. It is easy to get hurt when you fall and beat him. Grandma is afraid that you will not be able to endure this hardship."

Qingshu grinned and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I won't give up halfway."

Only by learning skills can one not be bullied or used as goods for profit. Therefore, no matter whether it is studying or practicing martial arts, she will persist no matter how hard or tired she is.
