080 He can blow for a lifetime (seeking monthly pass)
"My youngest son made this kang. He just learned the craft from his master. He has been making kangs for everyone in the village since the end of the year, and he also earned a little money for the family."
The old man said with emotion: "Unlike other craftsmen who guard their skills and refuse to spread their skills, our Huokang Gang's founder cares about the poor people in the world and does not take advantage of our people. As long as we are willing to abide by the sect's rules and learn with heart,
He is just like the old Master Confucius in the mouth of the scholars. He is taught without distinction, right? He is taught without distinction, right?"
Since he was uneducated, the old man was not sure whether he used the word correctly. He turned his head and asked the younger son behind him. When he nodded, he continued:
"How many disciples are able to live in this difficult world because of this craft, and how many people are no longer freezing to death in winter because of this fire kang. Mr. Xu is the real good man!"
Speaking of this, the old man thought of his old mother who froze to death the winter before last. His eyes turned red and he sighed:
"My mother is not blessed and cannot wait for Mr. Xu, but my children and grandchildren are very lucky. When Mr. Xu comes, and in the winter, we will not be afraid of being frozen to death."
The old man's simple language conveys the happiness that can only be felt by those who have personally experienced the severe cold.
As the old man spoke, he said to Xu Yue a little embarrassedly: "Girl, my firewood will be easy to sell this winter."
"Although I don't know what difficulties the girl's family has encountered, but if you have nowhere to go, you can stay at my house for a few more days. Now I can afford to feed you for a few days."
The pride revealed in the old man's words made Xu Yue, who had seen many times of poverty, stunned for a long time.
I still remember that before the Chinese New Year, the old man's clothes were pitifully thin, but looking at it now, it seems that the patches are missing, and he is wearing a thin coat that is 70% new.
"By the way." The old man seemed to have just remembered something and asked apologetically: "I don't know the girl's name yet, what is your name?"
"Xu Yue." Xu Yue replied with a smile.
"Xu?" The old man was startled. Xu Yue raised the corners of her mouth, with a bit of teasing in her eyes, and raised her hand to point at Xu Da behind the old man:
"His name is Xu Qingyang, my father, and the neighbors in the city call him - Xu Gong."
Hearing this, the old man and his young son, who was helping to lay the floor, were suddenly startled. They quickly looked at Xu Da, who was arranging the bedding. The expressions on their faces gradually changed from disbelief to surprise.
Finally, the father and son looked at each other, arranged their clothes in confusion and panic, and bowed together.
"The second generation disciple of the Huokang Gang, pays homage to the ancestor!"
"Three generations of disciples of the Huokang Clan pay homage to their ancestor!"
Xu Da Shi stood up quickly, took the time to glare at Xu Yue, then coughed twice, raised his hand to help the old man and his son up.
"Who do you study under?" Xu Darou asked.
The old man never thought there was anything different about this young man before, but now, he saw the style of a master in him.
Thinking that he could actually see the famous ancestor with his own eyes, the old man was so excited that his face flushed red, his lips trembled, and he couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
Young people should be more aggressive. The younger son answered for his father:
"Reporting to my ancestor, my father studied under Master Wu Jingsan, and I worshiped under Master Yu Tiezhu, the first disciple of Master Wukong."
"Oh, there is also Goudan Mudun from our village. They are also disciples of the Huokang Gang."
"There are also people from the next few villages who started their careers later than me and still want to call me uncle. We are all thinking that when the weather gets better, we can go to the city together to thank our ancestors for their kindness, but I didn't expect, I didn't expect...
..”
The young man was also so excited that his saliva flew onto Xu Da's face.
Xu Da kept a warm smile and was not annoyed. He humorously continued: "You didn't expect to see me so soon, did you?"
The young man nodded excitedly.
Xu Da sighed and waved his hand, "Don't get excited. I'm afraid I'm going to get everyone involved. If something happens, don't mention my name again in the future, lest you get killed."
When the father and son heard this, their expressions changed, but it was not because Xu Da had brought trouble to them, but because they were worried about the ancestor's situation.
The younger son was young and energetic, and immediately shouted: "Master, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, our Huokang Gang disciples are not afraid of hardships or difficulties, wait until I go to a few villages and shout, Grandmaster, you can send us more than a hundred brothers.
Let’s see who dares to bully you!”
Xu Dal was stunned, and so was Xu Yue. Father and daughter never expected that the Huokang Gang had laid such a solid foundation among the people.
According to what the youngest son of the old man's family said, wouldn't the entire Hejian villages and towns be all disciples of their Huokang Gang?
It’s only been four months, and the development is so rapid!
Does the governor know?
Xu Yue guessed that 80% of them didn't know. If the prefect knew that Dad had such a great reputation in a rural mountain village outside the city, the killer would have definitely caught up with him.
Rather than such a light-hearted pursuit.
The father and daughter looked at each other secretly and felt that they could not stay in Hejian County any longer.
Because they are still unable to control this force. Once they lose control, they may be forced to become the second Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.
Think of what happened to them... slipped away!
However, no one can predict what will happen in the future. The current troubled times are both crises and opportunities.
Now that it is declining, if you are not careful, you will be forced to become Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, a flash in the pan.
But when no one is aware of the power of the rural grassroots, if this power is allowed to develop silently on its own path, it will definitely become a huge force in the future.
They are just a group of craftsmen, not enough to attract the attention of aristocratic families.
Xu Yue glanced at her father again. The Huokang Gang did not need to be public, but it was still necessary to exist.
Therefore, Xu Da's repeated "Let's break up" turned into telling them to keep a low profile, not to mention him as the founder, and to develop their skills and pass them on to more people, so as to save more poor people suffering from the cold.
"I, Xu Qingyang, have nothing to do with the Huokang Gang, so you don't have to worry about me. We have a long time to come, and we will meet again if we are destined." Xu Da said lightly, with gentle expectations for his disciples in his eyes.
The old man and his youngest son were deeply moved. They did not expect that the patriarch would care so much about his disciples. He would rather bear all the suffering silently than drag his disciples down.
It is their greatest luck to meet such a good master.
"Grandmaster, don't worry. Disciples will remember Grandmaster's instructions and will definitely convey Grandmaster's words to other disciples. From now on, the Huokang Gang will keep a low profile and never mention Mr. Xu again."
but!
Whenever a disciple joins the Huokang Gang in the future, they will definitely tell him that there is a great person in the Huokang Gang named Xu Qingyang.
"Master, you have to take care of yourself too!" the old man and his son said respectfully.
Xu Da nodded happily and said he would do it.
Everyone was finally going to have a rest. Thinking that they would be able to sleep on the same floor as the master tonight, the youngest son was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night.
The young man thought happily that he could brag about sleeping with his ancestor for the rest of his life!
