Chapter 139 The Fooled Buck
The weather on summer nights should be a little hot, but because it is located in the north, the night is a little cool even in summer. Although the night is slightly cold, what is cooler at this time is Buck's heart. Watching his master being taken down by Ling Xianger, and then walked into his house without conscience, not even a head. Although the old man can't get along with the beautiful woman, if the old man turns around and asks Buck to stay tonight, Buck will be more excited than seeing the beautiful woman. However, everything was just a fantasy. Buck jumped off the roof and walked out of the valley desolately.
"You really plan to walk back so late. Although I don't doubt your ability, aren't you afraid of trouble so late?" I don't know when, Promise stood leaning against the corner of the wall, holding a pair of arms, looking at Buck's back interestingly.
"What else can I do if I don't go back? Didn't the master let me go back?" Buck is not well qualified, but he works very hard. He is a very obedient apprentice, which is why the old man accepted him. Of course, there are also old men who want to be angry, that is, even an apprentice with poor qualifications like Buck can teach him well, even more than those with good qualifications. Now, Buck has successfully advanced to the promotion, and his goal has been achieved.
"You don't really take the heartless old man's words seriously, do you?" Promise felt that Buck was still very good, and it was because he was honest and straightforward that he felt easy to get along with.
"I have never violated the master's words." Buck took a look at the promise and then turned his head to leave again. He really did not violate any words of the old man, because he was grateful. The old man gave him martial arts, won him the appreciation of many people, and married a beautiful woman as his wife.
"If I say that if you go back now, you will violate the old man's words, do you believe it?" Promise suddenly said. He really couldn't see the old man's 're mercy', so he decided to fool Buck.
"How come, didn't the master say that I could go back?" Buck asked strangely.
"Did the old man say, 'That's all for today. Buck, you can go back. Remember to go to bed early.' Am I right?" Promise asked Buck first.
"Yes, isn't the master asking me to go back? Why did he ask me to stay?" Buck is brave, scheming and careless.
"Did the old man tell you to go to bed early?" Promised to ask.
"Yes." Buck nodded.
"If you go back to the tribe now, do you have to go to bed late? It's not like daytime at night. Although you grew up here, you won't be fast. How can you 'go to bed early'?" Promised to continue to ask.
"But didn't the master say that I could go back? Why did he speak upside down?" Buck was finally surrounded by the promise, and he was already following the promised mind.
"That's your misunderstanding." Promise said affirmatively.
"How did I misunderstand?" Buck was even more surprised. How could he misunderstand with such a clear sentence?
"The old man asked you to go back, not to go back to the tribe, but to any empty room below, so that you can go to bed early, so you misunderstood." The promise said solemnly.
"Oh, so that's it. I thought the master would be so ruthless. So that's what he meant." Buck seemed to suddenly realize, but he still didn't understand one thing. "Since the master asked me to stay, why did he still go around? He knew that I was not smart. Why didn't he explain it directly?"
"Ha..." Promise smiled. Taking advantage of the gap of laughter, he already had an answer. He said, "Do you know why the old man likes Xiang'er so much that he treats her as his daughter?"
Promise asked a question that made Buck envious. He also understood the reason for this question. He said, "There should be two points about this. The first is that the master has a strange personality and likes beautiful women." Buck said and couldn't help taking a look at the promise. Seeing that his expression had not changed, he continued to say, "The second thing is that my sister is very smart. The master has always liked smart people."
"Yes, that's the key to the problem." Promise said happily that talking to a very smart person or a very stupid person will make people feel very difficult. Only talking to ordinary people is the easiest. Obviously, Buck is such an ordinary person.
Promise continued: "The old man likes smart people, so he wants to try your cleverness. Although he knows you very well and knows that you are not very smart, he also hopes that his apprentice can become smart and not always listen to him. He should learn to think and have his own ideas. This should be what the old man expects from you. Because there is a game tomorrow, don't let him down.
"So that's it. It seems that I'm wrong. I should learn to have my own ideas." Buck said regretfully and almost slapped himself twice.
"Now that you understand, you should go to bed early and draw lots tomorrow. Maybe we are rivals." The promise said with a little expectation.
"Well, I see." With that, Buck quickly walked to Promise, then grabbed his shoulder and said very movedly, "A promise, thanks to you today, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't understand the master's painstaking efforts. You also taught me a lot, but if tomorrow's lottery is against you, I won't be polite. I also want to I know who has made more progress in the past two years. After saying that, Buck patted Xu Promise on the chest and quickly walked to an empty house to sleep.
Seeing Buck's excited appearance without the previous feeling of decadence, he couldn't help sighing: "It turns out that cheating can still have this feeling. It seems that I'm still a good person." Indeed, the promise is fooling Buck, but he feels very comfortable and happy. This is the so-called good lie.
As soon as he finished his promise, the old man's head suddenly came out of his door, smiled at the promise, and then came over and said as he walked, "Bad boy, cheating is cheating, and he says he is a good person."
The old man is against his promises all the time, and every time he appears so suddenly. However, the promise did not seem to be surprised by the appearance of the old man. He said lightly, "I coaxed your apprentice for you, so that he has a better impression on you and even respects you more. If you don't thank me, you still want to say that you are really an obscene old man without conscience."
"Ha ha, then thank you here. I didn't expect you to have this ability to tell so many great truths. It's really worthy of being the person who stayed with me for two years, although we don't have the fate of a master and apprentice." The old man praised the promise, but he said more about himself than he promised.
"You old man is really a thick-skin. I'll coax Buck for you. If you don't come to help, just hide and watch. I didn't expect to add luster to your face." Promise is indeed a little admirable for the old man's thick face. There is a good saying that a thick face is invincible.
"So that's it. Have you found out that I'm hiding there a long time ago?" The old man asked about the promise.
"Nonsense, if I can't even find it, won't I have practiced my two years in vain?" Promise rolled his eyes at the old man.
"Then why didn't Buck find it?" The old man continued to ask.
"Buck pays attention to refining his body, and his breath is relatively rough, and it is difficult to feel subtle things. Moreover, as a master, don't you know your apprentice?" Promise glanced at the old man and said.
"Hey, I understand, but you understand more. What you mean is that Buck is not your opponent now, or he will never catch up with you?" The old man asked again.
This time, he didn't answer his promise. He just looked up at the moon in the sky, which had been counted by him for almost two years, but only became less, not more. Promise thought, the next time he bet with Ling Xianger, Ling Xianger counted the stars, and then he counted the moon to see who would count his things first. If so, then promise to win Ling Xianger every month for a night or two.
The promise was still meditating, and the old man opened his mouth again. He said happily, "The promise, I really didn't see you wrong. Buck really can't become a top master, but Xiang'er lacks fatal experience. Moreover, in the past two years, the internal breath in her body has been almost used, and she can only rely on her own efforts in the future. Now I value you most. It seems that tomorrow's game is still promising and very promising.
The old man was very satisfied with the change of the promise, and the haze that had previously been pressed by Tanshan in the bottom of his heart also disappeared.
"A big sister told me not to talk to beautiful women and obscene old men. If you talk to beautiful women, you will fall in love with her and love her irreseverable; if you talk to obscene old men, you will hate him so much. So, in order not to hate you, I won't talk to you. I'll go to bed. With that, Promise ignored the old man and went straight into his room.
