It was early morning when Sun Yixie woke up.
He was not woken up by some kind of small animal crawling on his face, nor was he woken up by the cold air of early spring, but he woke up after a very ordinary sleep. .
This is of course not because he has ascended to heaven, but because he is staying indoors at this time, lying on a bed with a quilt covering him.
After opening his eyes, Sun Yixie slowly sat up and began to recall the last thing he remembered.
Although he had a fever before his death, there was no memory loss. He clearly recalled that the cargo ship he and Hayato were on was hijacked by Japanese pirates, and they were the only two who survived. In the end, Hayato was captured by Japanese pirates and he was thrown into the sea.
Thinking of this, Sun Yixie touched his forehead again. Only then did he realize belatedly that his fever had gone away, and there was no pain in the joints all over his body. .
So, he opened the quilt and got out of bed.
There was a pair of shoes next to the bed. He tried them on and they fit perfectly.
Just like the clean new clothes he was wearing at this time, they also fit him very well.
In this situation, Sun Yixie could naturally guess that he should have been rescued by someone or some people. After all, clothes and quilts would not come to him on their own, so , his top priority now is to find someone to ask about his situation, and thank the person by the way.
The room he was staying in was not big, and he could reach the door in a few steps. After Sun Yixie pushed the door open and went out, he found that there was a larger room outside, with tables and chairs in the middle. And tea.
It’s okay if he didn’t see it. After seeing the tea, Sun Yixie suddenly felt very thirsty. He didn’t care so much, picked up the teapot on the table and drank directly from the spout.
At this time, he would no longer think about things like the poison in the water, because if the owner of this house wanted to harm him, he would have done it while he was unconscious, so there was no need to do it. These.
While pouring tea into his mouth, Sun Yixie began to look around; he discovered that in this house, in addition to the "living room" and the bedroom where he was just now, there were other There are several rooms, but except for the kitchen, which has no door, the doors of several other rooms are closed. I don’t know what they are used for and whether there is anyone inside.
After scanning around, Sun Yixie's eyes finally rested on the door to the room.
Why did he know that this door was the door out of the house? It was very simple. The two windows next to the door were both tilted up at this time. From the light coming in from outside, he knew that that was the exit. .
"Is there anyone there?" Sun Yixie shouted into the room when he put down the teapot.
But he shouted several times, but no one responded to him.
Sun Yixie thought for a moment, and it seemed inappropriate to search the savior's house when no one was around, so he walked towards the door and decided to take a look outside.
It's okay if the door is not opened, but he will be startled when it is opened.
There are steps outside the door of this house, and they are very steep stone steps without handrails. If he steps out without thinking, he may fall down in vain.
Sun Yixie looked down the stone steps and saw a road extending diagonally downward, sandwiched by the mountain walls on both sides, leading to the distance in twists and turns.
He hesitated for a moment, then stepped out and went down the stairs.
After walking for a while, the front finally became clear. At the end of the steps, a beach came into view.
At this time, the sun has completely risen.
Sun Yixie glanced around and saw two figures on the beach dozens of meters away, standing next to two large wooden shelves preparing something.
He took a few steps closer and saw clearly that they were two hunched old men, probably in their seventies, drying fish on the beach.
"Two old men" Sun Yixie walked nearby and called them at the top of his voice.
The two old men turned around and looked at him.
Then, the taller old man took the lead and said, "Hey, young man, you're awake."
"Yes." Sun Yixie responded, "Is it you? Did you two save me?"
"That's right." At this time, another shorter old man also turned around and said, "We saw that you were washed up on the beach by the tide and you were still breathing. , I picked you back up."
"Oh, it turns out there are two of you, Sun Yixie. Thank you for your help." Sun Yixie said, and immediately bowed and bowed deeply.
Seeing this, some people may want to say, why is Brother Sun so polite now? Ordinarily, with his upbringing and character, even if the leader of the martial arts alliance saved him today, he would at most hold his fists and hand over. Let’s say a few more words about “someday he will definitely repay you”
Why is he so polite when facing two ordinary old men?
In fact, you will understand after thinking about it for a while. Precisely because these were two ordinary old men who didn't know him at all and had no interest in him, their actions to save him were the purest acts of kindness.
If the person who rescued Sun Yixie today was someone who knew his identity, or if Sun Yixie had not been robbed of all his money before he was thrown into the sea, then the other party was suspected of seeking fame and fortune.
“It’s such a small effort, I have nothing to thank you for.” The tall old man replied casually, without even looking at Sun Yixie, and continued to fish.
"Yes, we are busy right now. Let's talk about it after we finish our work." The short old man also added.
"Then let me help too." Sun Yixie is a person who has a very good ability to observe words and emotions, and he knows how to follow the advice as soon as he hears this.
When he finished speaking, he had already taken two steps forward, rolled up his sleeves, quickly grabbed a fish, and started cooking it together with the two old men.
“Hey boy, I didn’t see it,His hands and feet are very nimble. "The short old man looked quite surprised when he saw Sun Yixie coming up to help, "Your family is also a fisherman."
"That's not true. " Sun Yixie replied, and the speed of the work on his hands did not slow down, "But I can do some work related to aquatic products. "
"Oh" After hearing this, the short old man turned his head and glanced at the tall man calmly.
After two seconds, the two men stopped. .
"In that case, you can do the work for us. "The short old man continued.
"Ah" Sun Yixie also didn't expect that these two people were really not polite to him, but no matter what, they were his saviors and they were so old. , now that the other party spoke, he was too embarrassed to refuse, "Uh, okay. "
"Hey, that's good." When the tall old man heard this, he immediately smiled at the short one, "Then let's go back to the house and rest. "
After that, the two turned around and left.
"Hey, wait, my two benefactors, I have something else to ask you. "Sun Yixie just offered to help, just to ask them some questions while working with the two old people. Who knew that these two people were about to leave as soon as they waved their hands, which really caught him off guard.
"Why don't you come up to the house and ask after the work is done? There is still only an hour and a half to go." When the other party replied to him, he had already walked a long way, and he obviously had no intention of giving it to him again. There is room for bargaining.
Oddly enough, the two old men didn't seem to be walking very fast, but in the blink of an eye, they were already far away from Sun Yixie.
In the first few seconds, Sun Yixie didn't think much about this scene, but when he watched the two old men walking up the steps between the mountain walls, a question suddenly flashed across his mind. The road is so steep and long. How did these two frail-looking old men carry me from the seaside to the house halfway up the mountain?
There are many explanations for this question.
p>For example, the residents in that room are not only the two old men, but also other young and strong people, but Brother Sun has not met them yet
Again. For example, the bodies of these two old men are not as weak as they look. Although they are hunched over, they are quite strong.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, these two old men are not weak. , In fact, they are all hidden masters.
If you think about it this way, combined with the situation of them "walking away in the blink of an eye", Sun Yixie is a little inclined to the last hypothesis.
"Damn it, did I encounter the legendary dream scenario of surviving a catastrophe and then picking up the old man?" Sun Yixie then muttered to himself
This happened. After thinking about it, he looked at the words and deeds of the two old men just now, and the more he looked at them, the more similar they became.
Because their attitudes were a bit too calm and arrogant
According to common sense. For example, from the seaThe person who rescues someone else should be more eager to ask the other person than the person being rescued.
After all, no one knows whether the person he rescued is a good person or a bad person. What if he rescued a pirate who fell into the water or an escaped prisoner?
You save him and he turns to kill you. What should your whole family do? Even if he hasn't lost his conscience to this point, what if he steals your family's money at night and runs away
Such a thing doesn't happen in this world.
However, the two old men, one tall and one short, seemed to be less interested in Sun Yixie, a stranger, than drying fish, and they always spoke calmly to him.
Based on their "no doubt" and "no fear", Sun Yixie also highly doubted that they were worldly experts.
Thinking of this, Brother Sun got excited.
Although he has not read a few books, he has watched some martial arts movies and TV shows, so he understands that these eight achievements are the kind of "adventures" that can make a gangster soar into the sky
p>When the opportunity came, he had to seize it, otherwise he would regret it, so he quickly started the job at hand without saying a word.
Sun Yixie knows this kind of thing very well. Drying fish is just a formality. In fact, these two old men are "testing" him to see if he will really do the work after he agrees to do it. Keep your promises and get things done.
In this way, Sun Yixie worked there with all his strength for nearly an hour, and finally finished the work, and he was careful enough to deliberately hide the two fish without stealing them. A little lazy.
Why? Because he is worried that if he really does all the work and does not cheat at all, the other party will think that he is too naive and not smart enough, and will not teach him anything.
After finishing this, Sun Yixie thought again and again. After constructing various questions that the two "experts" might ask him and the corresponding answers in his mind, he turned towards the mountain. Go to that room.
Bah bang bang
This time because there was someone in the room, Sun Yixie knocked three times first.
"There are only three of us here. If there is anything to knock on, come in." After a breath, the short old man's voice sounded from the door.
When Sun Yixie heard this, he pushed the door open and entered.
As he expected, the two old men were sitting in the hall drinking tea and waiting for him. Seeing that the tea in the cup was still steaming, he thought that this pot of tea was just made by them. Brewed.
"Two benefactors, I have finished my work. I wonder if I can ask you for a few words now." When Sun Yixie said this, his attitude was still very respectful. Not only did he not ask for anything, Sitting down meant that he was still holding his fists and cupping his hands.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the short old man sitting closer to the door suddenly picked up a cup of hot tea and threw it in his face.
This move was unexpected by Sun Yixie, but his reaction was still quick. He immediately sidestepped the tea and took a defensive posture.
However, the old man's speed was so fast that he couldn't believe it. Before he could get into position, the opponent had already taken advantage of his dodge to cut behind him and put him in a naked choke.
Everyone, please note that this is "naked strangulation", not an ordinary strangulation.
Sun Yixie, who was hit, was shocked. Firstly, he was amazed that the opponent could use this kind of locking technique that he thought only he could do. Secondly, he was amazed at the old man's physique.
Since the other party was always hunched over and wearing quite thick clothes, Sun Yixie had not seen through the real figures of the two old men before. Now that he was locked tightly by the other party, he felt it again. To describe it, he felt as if he was locked by the Kame Sennin in the form of muscle explosion.
“Boy,” the short old man locked Sun Yixie with his pair of powerful arms and said in a breathless manner, “Do you think we are Idiot, what are your intentions?"
Sun Yixie really didn't know where the other party's hostility came from this time. He blushed, his face gradually changing color due to lack of oxygen, and struggled to squeeze it out from his throat. "Senior, I don't know what you are talking about"
"I don't know haha" At this time, the tall old man who was still sitting at the table drinking tea sneered and said, "Young man, like you People who possess internal strength, after seeing the Qinggong we performed on the beach, wouldn't they be able to see what we are capable of?" He paused, "Normally speaking, you should catch up to us immediately and ask how we are. "But you actually tolerated it and pretended not to know. You finished the work we gave you first. You definitely have a conspiracy."
Hearing this, Sun Yi Xie was already scolding in his heart, "I have been calculating for a long time like I was predicting Gaga's options, but in the end I chose the wrong branch at that place. It turned out that I should have caught up and asked directly at that time, right?"
"I don't dare to brag about other abilities in my life, but I still deserve to be cautious." At this time, the short old man took over the conversation again and said in Sun Yixie's ear, "Now, I will I’ll give you one last chance and you can still say a word. As long as you are willing to tell the truth and express your true thoughts and intentions, maybe you can still live.”
That’s all, Sun. There was nothing I could do about it. He got angry and said what he really meant, "I'll die if you die. I just guessed that you two bitches are both worldly experts, so I wanted to pretend." My grandson asked you to teach me some skills or benefits."
After he shouted this, he immediately fell to his knees due to exhaustion and gasped for air.
Of course, the short old man didn’t let go of him until this moment, but already let go when he said the four words at the beginning of this sentence.
Obviously, after the other party heard the curse at the beginning, he understood that the entire sentence he said must be the truth. As for what his intention was later, it didn't matter. , because no matter what his intentions are, it willThe two old men posed no threat.
"Haaaah"
Just when Sun Yixie was kneeling on his knees and panting like a dog, the short old man had already sat back at the table and picked up the He picked up the teapot and poured himself another cup.
The tall old man smiled at the short man and said, "Have you seen it? I guessed it right."
"Okay, I owe you another two taels." ." The short one curled his lips and took a sip of tea with a look of displeasure; but he didn't know whether the "two taels" in his mouth were gold, silver or something else.
On the other side, Sun Yixie, who had recovered a bit, also stood up again.
This time, he was no longer polite. He took two steps forward as soon as he got up, held on to a bench next to the table, sat on it, and sat at the same table with the two old men. He stood aside and poured himself a cup of tea while talking to himself.
"You two are really in good spirits." Sun Yixie took a sip of tea and continued with a sarcastic tone, "It was just a bet and it almost cost me my life. If you guys want to play something else, I'm afraid I'll have to be eaten by you."
"Ouch" the tall old man looked at Sun Yixie, raised his eyebrows and said, "Good boy, You are still sitting down, right? Do you think that if we let you go now, we will let you go?"
"Otherwise," Sun Yixie asked, "since you have believed my words now , the most you can do is not teach me and drive me away. There is no reason to kill me anymore."
"Ha" the short old man laughed when he heard this, "Then what if we are just talking about it? Where is the devil who kills people for fun?"
"Ha" Sun Yixie also laughed, "Then I am already dead, so there is no need to pretend to be a grandson anymore."
"Okay," the tall old man continued, "You are courageous and knowledgeable, and you were deliberately lazy when drying the fish just now. You have even calculated our tempers, which shows that you are quite sophisticated, and I am really quite a bit. I want to teach you.”
“I don’t want to teach you.” Unexpectedly, Sun Yixie curled his mouth and continued to drink tea as if he didn’t care.
"Okay." But the short old man saw through him at a glance, "You're not bad at acting. He also knows how to use provocations. I'll accept him as my apprentice."
"Master is here to be your disciple." Sun Yixie's movements were so fast. One second he was holding the tea cup with an arrogant look, and the next second he was kneeling on the ground with both hands serving tea, ready to take advantage of the opportunity to become his disciple.
"Hey," but the tall old man stopped Brother Sun at the critical moment, "Boy, you don't even know the name of the master, why are you praying?"
"Oh, may I ask the names of the two masters?" Sun Yixie borrowed the donkey from Poxia and asked casually.
"Well, my name is Zhao Yunlong, and his name is Chen Haihuang. Thirty years ago, people in the world called him the Second Immortal of Yunhai." The tall old man, Zhao Yunlong, answered half of his words, and suddenly Realizing something, "Hey, why are there only two masters? Lao Chen said he would take you in, but I didn't say I would take you in."
"Master Zhao, do you have any other requests?" Sun Yixie asked again. < /p>
"Hey, okay, you two can wait a moment." Sun Yixie agreed and ran to the kitchen in a hurry; the one just now said with arrogance, " The guy who loves to teach but not teaches seems to be another person
When Brother Sun walked into the kitchen, Zhao Yunlong and Chen Haihuang who were left in the hall looked at each other and gave him a Evaluation, and this evaluation is also the last quality that the two immortals of Yunhai want to test from Sun Yixie "Good, shameless enough"
