Chapter 7 Losing Friends
Ding Yi shivered and looked at the concierge Lao Zhang in fear. Could this terrifying concierge who looked disgusted with ghosts be a cultivator with the ability to read minds?
"Ding Xinghe is your grandfather, right?" Lao Zhang crossed his legs, and Tiger Skin jumped on the bed, curling up in front of Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang rubbed its fur along his head, and Tiger Skin squinted and enjoyed Lao Zhang.
Zhang's caress.
"Yes," Ding Yi's mind became active again. Although he had only seen his grandfather's name on the ancestral tablet enshrined at home, this person knew his grandfather. If they still have friendship, then playing the friendship card would be a good idea.
There won't be a turnaround.
"Your grandfather and I have no friendship. We have fought." As if he had seen through Ding Yi's thoughts, Lao Zhang said leisurely. Another basin of cold water was poured down.
"You guys from the Ding family are really stinky. Ding Xinghe comes first every time he takes the test. He is so good that he looks down on this and that. What's the result? We didn't get stuck in Angel Alley and gave him a beating..."
"Grandpa, he has been dead for many years," Ding Yi said sadly.
"I know, it's a pity that he died." Lao Zhang recalled, "Tell me about you, what is your name?"
"Ding Yi."
"Ding Yi? Haha, the names of your Ding family are really funny. What is your father's name?"
"Ding Zhaoding," Ding Yi didn't dare to lie.
"The son's name has so many strokes, and the grandson's name has so few strokes. It's interesting to simplify the complexity."
"Why did you come to school so late to steal things?" Lao Zhang asked.
Ding Yi could only tell everything he saw during the day and his analysis.
"It is true that the ignorant are fearless. My little friend, you are pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth. Do you have the qualifications for cultivation?"
"..."
"It's impossible for this shabby school to have those books. Do you know why? Because the school is supervised by cultivators, and heretical doctrines are not allowed to appear in the school."
"Boy, are you disappointed? For this, you almost risked your own life, and then you were stabbed, had your hands cut off, and was driven out of the city to become a beggar."
Ding Yi's face turned pale and he was speechless.
"Do you regret it?" Lao Zhang asked cruelly.
"Under cultivation, we are all ants, so what's the point of regretting the lives of ants?" Anyway, that was it, and Ding Yi was willing to risk it all.
"Haha, you're pretty cool, but I don't know if you were
You are still so cool." Lao Zhang said with a smile.
Ding Yi had already lost his anger, it was like that anyway. What did it matter if he was ridiculed? His heart was filled with despair and he stopped responding.
"I can also let you go and make it as if this never happened." Lao Zhang said suddenly.
Like a piece of driftwood suddenly appearing in front of a drowning person, Ding Yi's eyes burst into light.
"Grandpa Zhang, what do you want me to do?"
"Haha, you call me grandpa now. Boy, you are very realistic."
Ding Yi knelt down and said sadly, "Grandpa Zhang, tell me, whatever you ask me to do, I promise to do it according to your request." Ignoring Lao Zhang's teasing.
"Tomorrow you go to Shuijing Hutong. Do you know Shuijing Hutong?"
"I know."
"Give this to Zhou Chong, the man from Yiningtang. His left ring finger is missing. Remember not to give it to anyone else." A silver dollar was thrown over. "Just say, you want to take medicine for cough and phlegm. Don't give it to me."
The medicine needs powder. My family wants you to go back quickly, do you understand?"
Ding Yi repeated it and Lao Zhang nodded.
"Very good, you can go. Remember, don't tell anyone what happened today, otherwise..." Lao Zhang laughed strangely, and saw that the 'tiger skin' crawling beside his legs gradually expanded, and in the blink of an eye,
It turned into a big and colorful tiger. Its green eyes also turned into golden yellow. "Ah woo," there was a loud roar, and dust flew down throughout the room.
Ding Yi was horrified and terrified. The giant tiger probably took up three-quarters of the room. It was majestic after the transformation, but it still looked cute and cute. It was clearly a colorful tiger that chose people to eat! Lao Zhang snapped his fingers.
,,The ferocious beast with fierce eyes and salivating mouth was like a popped balloon, turning back into a cat in the blink of an eye.
A cultivator, there is a cultivator living in the concierge that I passed by every day when I was in school! This usually taciturn concierge, Uncle Zhang, turned out to be a cultivator!
Ding Yi quickly agreed without any hesitation.
"Will the medicine be delivered to you?" Ding Yi thought of something,
"No, you take it back and find a place to throw it away. Don't play any tricks, kid." Lao Zhang replied coldly. "It's almost dawn, let's go quickly."
Walking out of the school gate in a daze, the sky was faintly white. Regardless of his random thoughts, Ding Yi ran for a while. When he got home, Ding Zhaoding and his wife had already gotten up. They were surprised to find Ding Yi coming back from outside. The reason given by Ding Yi was
Went for a morning jog. The two of them were dubious but didn't say anything.
I went to the bathroom to take a shower first, and patted my cheeks vigorously.
Just enough to calm your mood. There are too many things that happened in the past few hours that are worth digesting.
"Why do you have silver dollars in your pocket?" my mother suddenly shouted outside the bathroom.
"What's the matter?" Dad asked.
Ding Yi was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat, "That's the money someone asked me to buy medicine for." Ding Yi didn't dare to tell Lao Zhang.
"Mom, why are you rifling through my clothes?"
"I said I would do laundry in the morning. If your clothes are dirty, I'll help you wash them..."
"Honestly, where did this money come from?" Dad is not that easy to deal with.
"Grandpa Hu in the fruit. I met him on my morning run this morning. He asked me to help buy medicine, and he gave it to me." Ding Yi quickly lied to his father.
"He also said that he knew his grandfather from a fight when he was a child."
Ding Zhaoding was dubious. As such a large amount of money was involved, Ding Zhaoding decided to take the time to ask for details today. His family was not well off, so children's education, especially correct values, should be treated with caution.
Fortunately, the ropes, wires, knives, and fluorite for lighting were all disposed of before entering the house.
Ding Yun and Ding Li also got up. The house became lively.
"Bang bang bang," there was a knock on the door. Yuan Zhen came to visit.
This unscrupulous friend is still thinking about what happened last night.
"Azhen, what did you do this morning?" Ding Zhaoding asked. He was testing whether Ding Yi had lied to him. When asking, Ding Zhaoding stared at Ding Yi coldly.
"Morning? No, I just got up." Yuan Zhen thought to himself that his old friend really went to school by himself last night. Although he admired him, he still felt a little guilty.
Ding Yi's hanging heart dropped again.
"You coward, you didn't agree to meet me yesterday, but you made me wait for half the night." As soon as he entered Ding Yi's room, Ding Yi grabbed Yuan Zhen's neck.
After breaking free from his old friend's iron hoop, Yuan Zhen said sarcastically: "How's it going? You've really gone there, even if you don't have it. Ding Ding didn't say that, I will obey you in heaven and on earth."
"How dare you say that, if it weren't for you last night..." Ding Yi remembered the warning from the concierge Lao Zhang and stopped.
"Didn't succeed? I thought it was still unreliable. After I went back last night, I thought about it over and over again."
"Don't make excuses for your cowardice and shamelessness," Ding Yi said angrily.
