Zhong Yishi put on her daughter's clothes, took off her waist knife, and tried to pick up needle and thread to learn how to make female needlework from Mrs. Liang. Her fingers were pricked several times, and her stitches were twisted and twisted. Mrs. Liang covered her mouth and snickered.

Said: "I see you holding a needle like a mallet. You are born to use swords and clubs."

"Isn't that right? I just do some rough work. Auntie, please don't teach me such detailed work." Zhong Yishi said with a blush.

"You are not allowed to call me aunt. There are many nephews and nieces in the Xie family, so it is not uncommon to be an aunt. It is best to call me sister. There is no sister in my family, so I picked up a fairy-like sister out of thin air. I can wake up laughing even when I fall asleep."

"This, this... I don't dare to make mistakes. Xie Daxia is my savior..."

"What a savior? God helps good people. It was God who saved you, and it was God who sent you to Xie's house to be my sister!"

Zhong Yishi felt that Liang's words were interesting, and he felt much better. He tried to call out: "Sister...sister..."

Mrs. Liang hugged Yi Shi, grinning from ear to ear: "Hey, my good sister, when you call me like that, I really can't bear to marry you off!"

The two sisters were chatting happily when Xie Yutian walked in from outside: "Okay, the little girl at home makes your sister angry all day long. Now that you are here, your sister has found someone to talk to!"

Yi Shi hurriedly stood up and bowed. Mrs. Liang laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up and said, "My silly sister, which woman have you ever seen salute like this?"

Yishi was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly turned to Xie Yutian and said, "Wish you a blessing, second master."

Xie Yutian was also amused: "You don't have to be so polite at home from now on. If you are awkward, I will be awkward too. As a family, it's better to be more casual."

When Zhong Yishi heard the word "family", his heart felt hot and his eyes became red.

At this time, Yuchun shouted "Second brother, second brother..." and ran into the backyard, followed by a man covered in dirt and with unkempt hair.

"What's got you so flustered?"

Xie Yutian thought of a escort ship going north and one going south, and his heart tightened. He had a premonition that something must have happened, so he grabbed Yuchun and pulled him into the study.

After Xie Yutian came back, he learned that Zhang Shide had taken over a business of transporting commercial banks to Beijing, and he felt very uneasy. Although he knew that Shide was a cautious man, the world was not good, and the people in the north were not only fierce, but also troublesome.

With the Yihe Fist, if someone catches someone with such a big dart, you will be in big trouble.

Xie Yutian has been restless these past few days. He wakes up when it's dawn and cannot fall asleep again. He goes out alone and stands on Xie's pier until dawn.

After closing the door, Xie Yutian looked at the slovenly man behind Yuchun and asked: "This is..."

"Master, it's me, I'm Shide..." Zhang Shide said and fell to his knees, unable to get up again.

Xie Yutian took a breath of cold air, helped up the disciple who was already too thin to be human, and said in a trembling voice: "Shide, why are you so thin? What happened?"

Yuchun fell into the chair, sucking his mouth and said: "Second brother, it's over, what a disaster! The dart is lost, it's fifty thousand taels of silver!"

Shide was still ill and had traveled eight hundred miles day and night. His body was extremely weak and his words were weak: "Master, I am incompetent. I have caused you trouble. After all..."

As Shide spoke, he burst into tears. He slapped himself several times and said, "Disciple, you deserve to die. I have harmed the Xie Family Escort Agency..."

Xie Yutian was in a mess in his heart, but he was extremely calm on the surface, saying: "Don't cry, a seven-foot-tall man, how unbecoming is it to cry? As the saying goes, if you often walk by the river, your shoes will get wet. If you lose your dart, you will find it again.

Come on, if you can’t get it back, let’s earn it back. As long as no one is hurt, it’s okay, and it’s okay if someone is here.”

Yuchun said with a bitter face: "My second brother, you said it's easy, how can you earn it? That's fifty thousand taels of silver! It's all the fault of Gao Xiang, that kid is just..."

"Shut up, there are old people here, how can any general not push it on the younger generation!" Xie Yutian shouted to Zhi Yuchun, saying: "The sky hasn't fallen yet, I have stabilized this matter.

No one is allowed to tell anyone. You take Shide to take a bath and eat something. You don’t have to go home, just stay in this courtyard. You don’t have to worry about the rest, I will take care of it."

Yuchun helped Shide out, and Xie Yutian clenched his fist and hit the wall hard, making a dent in the wall as big as a wowotou.

…

After such a big incident, Xie Yutian felt at ease. He slept until dawn and didn't get up until his son Baoqing came over to invite him to have breakfast. He sat in bed thinking for a long time, not sure whether what happened yesterday was true.

He asked Baoqing: "Has your senior brother Shide been here?"

Shide's voice came from outside the door: "Master, I'm here."

That means I have really lost my escort. What’s wrong with me? Have I started to get confused before I reached the age of 40? Xie Yutian rubbed his temples and shook his head again. He was not faint or in pain, and he was awake.

"Shide, come in."

Zhang Shide came in to say hello, and stood with his hands down, staring at his toes, looking frightened.

"are you better?"

"Go back to Master, you're feeling better."

"Sit down and tell me about the dart throwing thing in detail."

Shide told the master how Gao Xiang secretly signed the escort order, how he fell ill, how Gao Xiang fought with others in Cangzhou, and how several boats robbed the escort.

"Gao Xiang committed a big taboo when he was competitive during the escort trip, but he cannot be entirely blamed for the loss of the escort. Even if he was on the boat, he would not miss it. There is an old saying, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.

You are being targeted by thieves!"

Seeing that the master did not blame himself, Zhang Shide blamed himself even more, his legs softened and he knelt down and said: "Master, you can give me a beating or scold me. After all, Shide will feel better in that way."

"It's not your fault for throwing the dart, why should I beat you and scold you? Get up, to be my apprentice Xie Yutian, you have to straighten your back. Not only do you have to straighten your back, but you also have to be able to hold on.

Gao Xiang did a very good job. He knew he was wrong, never gave up, was not afraid of trouble, and dared to face it. This is a real man!"

Zhang Shide was confused and thought to himself, my fault is not the matter of throwing the dart, but where could it be? Why did the master praise him as a man when all this disaster was caused by Gao Xiang?

Shide sat back on the stool, lowered his head and savored the master's words carefully, and gradually figured out what his mistake was. It was wrong for Gao Xiang to accept the escort privately, but since he accepted the escort, he should face it calmly, and should not be angry with him, let alone

You shouldn't always worry about whether you should leave this trip. It's all because you are too weak-minded and worry about gains and losses, which is why you got seriously ill. If you weren't so sick and unconscious, you might not be attacked by the thieves.

Following the master all these years, I just want to be an obedient and good apprentice. I rely on the master for everything and never have my own ideas. Once the master is not around, I am at a loss. How can I stand up for anything? I only learn.
