79. My Disciple From Ancient Times to Modern Times (8)
Duan Xu pushed the cart, observed the surroundings, and arrived at the exit smoothly.
--drop! !
A loud siren sounded.
The adult on the side saw him, a half-grown boy, standing there with a confused look on his face, and reminded him: "Have you paid for the things in the car?"
How does Duan Xu know if the payment has been made?
He stood there in confusion for a while, seeing everyone queuing up, and then he went out one by one, and the smart ones also pushed the cart and lined up.
He thought the way to get out of this place was to queue up.
Finally he was able to get in line, and the girl quickly helped him scan the prices of a cart of things, and then asked, "Cash or scan the QR code?"
Duan Xu had a blank face.
The young lady then raised her head and glanced at him. Thinking that he didn't hear clearly, she asked again in a louder voice: "Cash or scan the QR code?"
Duan Xu: "..."
He stood there with a blank face, and someone behind him became impatient, "What's going on, kid, have you brought any money?"
Now Duan Xu understands.
The cart of stuff he snatched actually cost money.
Because the checkout line is stuck here, the people in line behind are also unhappy.
"What happened up front? The machine is broken?"
"It seems like there is a child who doesn't have any money, right?"
"Why go to the supermarket without money? Is that okay? If not, I'll go to another store."
Under the accusations from these adults, Duan Xu became more and more at a loss.
He grasped the handlebars blankly and looked around with some fear, not knowing what he should do now.
He used to think that it didn't matter if he stole or grabbed things. The worst he could do was get caught and get beaten twice. As long as he wasn't hungry, there was nothing wrong with him.
But in modern society, no one would take action directly, let alone when the situation is still unclear.
Everyone just looked at Duan Xu in condemnation and boredom.
"What's wrong with you kid? You're not young anymore. Why are you still coming to the supermarket to cause trouble? If you don't have money, go back quickly."
"Can you please stop standing there stupidly? If not, just put your things down and leave. If you have money, pay for it. There are so many people waiting. It's rare for me to go out and buy something during my lunch break. If you delay me, I'll be late again."
"Yes, whose kid is so ignorant that he comes to cause trouble in the middle of the day?"
They all just cursed, and no one said anything unpleasant, let alone came up to beat them directly.
But when Duan Xu listened, he felt even worse than being beaten.
The disgusted looks in these people's eyes made him want to crawl underground.
Seeing that Duan Xu was still standing still, the people in the queue behind him became even more impatient.
Duan Xu had encountered many criticisms when he was in the escort agency, but it was not his fault before. He just had to silently lower his head and listen to the instructions.
But this time, he was indeed the one who delayed people.
The young man had a pale face and didn't know what to do at all.
Fortunately, Zhang Wei glanced at it from a distance and saw Duan Xu at the cashier. He ran over with the mentality of giving it a try. When he went over and took a look, it turned out to be Duan Xu.
And the car in my hand looks so familiar.
He looked around but didn't see Duan Qingen, and hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "I'm sorry, everyone, I'm sorry, I asked my children to help queue up. I didn't expect to get in line so quickly. I'm really sorry."
He quickly scanned the QR code to pay, and walked out with a confused Duan Xu.
As soon as Duan Xu was pulled out of the supermarket door by Zhang Wei, his eyes turned red.
Zhang Wei was carrying big and small bags and was about to ask why Duan Xu came over and took his car away. When he looked up, he was startled to see Duan Xu crying.
"What's going on? Why are you crying? Did I just scare you? Okay, okay, don't cry. Don't cry. Where is your master? Why do you let you go to the supermarket alone?"
Duan Xu shook his head and said nothing, only tears falling down.
Zhang Wei was at a loss when Duan Qingen wandered over.
He didn't seem surprised at all that Duan Xu was crying, and just asked the child: "How do you feel in your heart?"
Duan Xu couldn't stop crying, but he still tried to answer with choked sobs: "It's uncomfortable."
"It's okay to feel uncomfortable."
Duan Qingen touched his apprentice's little head; "This time it's your uncle the policeman. If you meet someone else, he can beat you to death."
Zhang Wei had no idea what they were talking about, but he felt that no matter what happened, he could not be beaten to death because there was a law.
"Then what, Mr. Duan, Duan Xu is young, so don't scare him. What's going on?"
"It's okay, I just teach children."
Duan Qingen waved his hand and said to Zhang Wei: "Did you take the things you bought just now?"
"Take it, take it."
Zhang Wei didn't know what he was going to do, but he still maintained the mentality of "I will do whatever the master says" and reached out to find the penis in the shopping bag and handed it to Duan Qingen.
"Two hundred and thirty dollars."
Duan Qing'en looked at the money on it and asked Duan Xu, "These are two days' salary of your police uncle. He has to work hard for two days to buy these things."
Zhang Wei: "...that master, I have been promoted to deputy director, and my salary is actually not that bad."
"Not much worse."
Duan Qingen continued to teach the children: "Even if it wasn't your Uncle Zhang Wei, if it were someone else, such a package would cost them at least one day's wages. Think about it, it only lasts thirty days in a month, and one day's wages are gone. Then they will be a hundred times more miserable than you are now.”
"It's like this bag of French fries, which was bought with other people's money." Duan Qing'en said as he patted the French fries in Zhang Wei's bag and asked, "Can I eat it?"
"sure."
Zhang Wei didn't realize what they were talking about at all, and he took out the fries and handed them to Duan Qing'en with a smile: "There are some snacks here originally bought for Duan Xu. At his age, he likes snacks the most."
Duan Xu lowered his head even more.
Zhang Wei wanted to buy something for him, but he stole a carful of his stuff.
Duan Qingen took the fries and ate several of them in one bite.
"The French fries are delicious, but they were not bought with your own money. Think about it, when we were eating French fries, your Uncle Zhang was crying over this bag of French fries. Can you still eat it? Click, click, click."
Zhang Wei: "???I cry?"
Duan Xu actually cried.
He sobbed and bowed to Zhang Wei: "I'm sorry, uncle policeman, I will never do it again."
Zhang Wei, who was completely out of state: "...It's okay, it's okay, isn't it just a bag of French fries?"
"By the way, Mr. Duan, isn't the child at school? It's lunch break now? Have you eaten? How about I treat you to a meal?"
"No, I'll take him to dinner later."
Seeing Duan Qingen's refusal, Zhang Wei nodded: "Okay, I'll leave first. I'll go to the office first. I'll be done. Don't cry anymore. Uncle is gone."
He rode away on his little electric donkey.
Duan Qingen continued to touch Duan Xu’s little head.
"Stop crying, remember what it was like just now. In this life, you can be unsuccessful as a human being, but you must have a bottom line, you know?"
Duan Xu sniffed: "I understand."
"But Master, Master Wu said, if someone like me doesn't steal or rob, I won't live long in this life."
"Listen to his nonsense and he will live a long life?"
Duan Xu shook his head: "He was killed by the robbers."
"That's it, isn't it? He doesn't live long himself, so he can still decide whether you can live long?"
Duan Qingen asked again: "Why did he say you can't do anything else except steal and grab things?"
"Because, suck! Because I am the child of a barbarian, and they all said that my mother had a husband in front of me. I was raised by my mother after the husband in front of me died. They also said that maybe that barbarian He killed my mother’s husband and took her by force.”
"I am a child of a barbarian, and I will definitely be like a barbarian in the future, robbing and stealing things..."
The more Duan Xu talked, the more uncomfortable he became, sobbing and wiping tears: "Master Wu said that the escort agency bought me because most of the robbers had their homes robbed by barbarians, so they went to the mountains to become robbers. If I grow up, I went to escort, and when the robbers came, they just pushed me out. They also said that even if I left the escort agency, I could only steal, otherwise I wouldn't survive. "
"Liar."
Duan Qingen was categorical.
One sentence made Duan Xu, who couldn't stop crying, cry.
He looked at his master with swollen eyes, his eyes full of trust in Duan Qingen.
Duan Qingen patted his little head; "You kid is just too stupid. You believe whatever others say. If he says you can't live, you can't live? He is deliberately deceiving you. What about you? I don’t know, but if you go to school today, do all your classmates like you?”
Duan Xu thought about his two deskmates who had been chasing him to ask him how to break an iron ruler, and nodded with red eyes.
Duan Qingen had an expression on his face that said, "You see what I said is correct, right?" "You are of Hu people's blood. This is not a big deal in modern times. On the contrary, everyone will like you more because of this."
"You just study hard, find a good job in the future, and then support me. If you really feel that studying is not enough, you become a martial arts instructor, specializing in teaching children and girls who are afraid of meeting bad people. I don't know how popular they are."
"If you can't do this, it would be easier. If you enter the entertainment industry and have such a face, just be a vase boss."
Duan Xu was stunned for a moment when he was told, "Can I do so many things?"
"Of course. If you study hard and have a good relationship with your classmates, you will be fine for the rest of your life."
Duan Qing'en almost didn't pat his chest to make a promise to this stupid kid. When he saw Duan Xu responded with a nasal voice and nodded heavily, a silly smile appeared on his face.
Smiling very happily, very happy.
He is not the naive and silly person he used to be, nor is he a well-behaved person.
Rather, it was as if the world suddenly opened up before his eyes.
"Master, I will study hard and support you in the future!!"
Seeing this silly kid smiling so happily that his teeth were blinded, Duan Qingen patted him on the shoulder; "Okay, master, wait, remember, you can't do this unconscionable thing. We have hands and feet, we can do it ourselves." You can make money and spend it on your own, which makes you feel comfortable, right?”
"Um!!"
Duan Xu was very happy.
It seems that this child's outlook on life has been reshaped.
***
After the two of them finished a meal of spicy hotpot, Duan Qingen took a taxi to take Duan Xu back.
After a spicy meal, Duan Xu’s eyes were no longer so obviously swollen, and because he discovered that “it turns out I can support myself”, the smile on his face never stopped.
The first thing people see when they see him is definitely his blinding smile, not his slightly red and swollen eyes.
As soon as Duan Xu entered the classroom with light steps, he found that his two classmates were calling him enthusiastically.
"Duan Xu, come on, come on!!!"
Duan Xu passed away happily.
Two deskmates pulled him and asked, "You live on campus, right?"
Zhang Wei also told Duan Xu today, and he nodded, "Yes, I live on campus."
"That would be great."
The two people's faces suddenly showed joy. One of them secretly took out a small bottle from the hole in the table and shook it at Duan Xu, with a proud face; "Do you know what this is?"
Duan Xu shook his head blankly.
"These are cow tears."
Duan Xu: "Huh?"
"Cow's tears!! Have you ever seen a horror movie? It's the kind of cow's tears where you put it in your eyes and you can see something!!"
Duan Xu continued to be confused: "What?"
"What's that, Ah Piao!!"
If it weren't for the sincere expression on Duan Xu's face, this classmate would have thought that this guy did it on purpose.
"You don't even know this. Let me tell you, I asked my uncle to get these cow tears from his cow. They are much more genuine than those bought online. In fact, I got them a long time ago. , Even you know that although we are men, we are still young and not very masculine. "
This classmate also felt a little guilty when he said it.
In fact, in the final analysis, the two of them agreed to watch Piao together, but they were both a little scared because of the cow's tears.
But I am afraid of returning, and no one wants to admit that I am afraid.
Children at this age are like this, a bit middle-aged and a bit naive.
I kept putting it off, but then Duan Xu arrived, and not only was he very skilled, he also seemed to have a powerful master.
The two of them thought that if they took Duan Xu with them, they would be able to handle it even if something happened.
So, they came to lobby Duan Xu.
"Tonight, let's go to the playground, get these cow tears, and then see if there is really a piao."
After this classmate finished speaking, another classmate took over: "Duan Xu, we call you a good brother, so don't be afraid not to go."
In fact, Duan Xu, who doesn't watch horror movies, has no idea what they are talking about.
But today the master just told him to build a good relationship with his classmates, and he was also full of yearning for friendship in his heart, so although he was a little confused, Duan Xu still nodded.
"Okay, I'll go."
That night, after the teacher inspected the dormitory, the three people sneaked to the playground secretly.
The moon was still bright and there were street lights around, so they were able to smoothly take out the cow's tears and put two drops into each person's eyes.
"Remember, no matter what we see, we will hold hands and no one can run away."
After the classmate finished speaking, he opened his eyes.
Duan Xu also slowly opened his eyes.
Then he looked at the chaos of demons dancing in front of him, feeling a little confused.
——"Wow!!!"
A man with a feathery head wearing a pair of ripped clothes stood on the school flag-raising platform, looking like he was extremely high. Below, a group of floating "people" wearing clothes of various ages swayed together.
Chicken-feathered man: "Friends who died eight hundred years ago, get excited!! Come on, come on!! Listen to me singing a song!! Today I will teach you a different song!! Everyone, get excited!!!"
The two tablemates looked at this scene with their legs weak, but Duan Xu was not afraid. After all, he had negotiated with the female ghost before.
He felt that this man with a feathery head sang very well.
——"Over there, over there!! What are you doing? Get out of the way and don't interfere with my singing!!"
A man wearing Qing Dynasty clothes was about to pass by. He reached out impatiently to push him, but ended up going directly through his arm.
The two tablemates looked at this scene and finally came to their senses.
They screamed: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there is a ghost!!!!"
Qing Chaogui looked at his hands blankly, and then looked at Duan Xu's eyes looking over silently.
He also screamed:
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh there is someone!!!"
