Cheng Baize's voice was a little weak, probably because he had just been tortured by my life-and-death pain. I frowned: "Don't worry, this is the last time. Don't do this kind of thing again. Let me break that curse."
Oh, do you think you hurt me? It hurts me too, and I can still see it. Your bug is too big and disgusting!"
"..."
"Why didn't you say anything?" I sat on the bed: "Can't you believe I'm so broken?"
"no."
"Then what are you thinking about."
"I'm thinking about that Gu worm you mentioned. It's big... because you have excess nutrition."
I was speechless for a moment: "You don't feel any pain anymore, right? You don't think you can die in my hands, right?"
Cheng Baize chuckled twice on the other end of the phone: "Okay, now that you are broken, what else can I say? How have you been these past few days? Are the emotions of your family still stable?"
I sighed: "It's not stable. I think it will get better after the Chinese New Year. As for you, you're still in the south."
"Um."
"What are you busy with? You've been busy for so long."
"Why... your excessive concern can easily misunderstand me."
I curled my lips and said, "Who cares about you? It was my grandpa who mentioned you today. I don't know who said it. He will call my grandpa and go to see him. The old man is distracted. It's better for you to just turn around and forget."
.”
"I haven't forgotten."
There was a hint of seriousness in Cheng Baize's tone: "I like your grandpa very much, and I feel very close to you. I'm not pretending, but now because I decided to stay in the north, my master's family is not satisfied. Now there are some things that need me.
It’s just a matter of handling it. When I finish it, I will go back to see your grandpa. You tell your grandpa, and I will visit him every week when I return to the north to settle down."
I don’t understand: “Why do you need your master’s family’s consent for where you want to live in the future?”
"Didn't I tell you that Master is like my father? When Master left, he told me that I must take care of his family. He taught me how to do it. In the future, I will take care of his family for Master.
.”
"Oh, that's how it is."
I responded: "Then since your master has his own wife and children, why do you want to recruit more disciples? Generally, I know that there are some Taoisms that cannot be taught to others, and you offer such a high price, and there are no taboos..."
"My master has no wife and children. He is not married."
Cheng Baize interrupted me: "My master entrusted me to take care of his younger brother, who is also my uncle. It is said that my master lost his sight when he entered the industry. Later, he married a wife with his help, but
My two younger brothers are both mentally retarded, so my uncle is not very mentally well now and has to be cared for 24 hours a day by someone, and my aunt was paralyzed in bed after giving birth to my two younger brothers.
Now you know why I asked for a high price. Firstly, it’s because of my ability, and secondly, I still have a large family to support behind me.”
Suddenly I didn't know what to say. Thinking of Cheng Baize's always smiling face and the dimples that showed out from time to time, I felt extremely uncomfortable. He was under so much pressure, and there was no normal person behind him!
"I don't know what happened to one of my younger brothers a few days ago. He was probably crazy and was surprised by a girl, so the matter became very big. I just came back to deal with it. If I want to settle in the north in the future, I must
I have to send someone to make proper arrangements for my uncle's family, otherwise, how can I go back?"
"Hey, Ma Jiaolong, why are you silent and asleep?"
I lowered my eyes: "No, I think it's not easy for you..."
"...Ha, remember to be nice to me in the future. Go to bed early. I will come find you after I finish making arrangements."
I raised my eyebrows: "But, I have something to say."
"What words."
"Did your master do a lot of evil things, so no one in the family had a good life? My grandma said..."
"Stop it, we can't do it because my master is here to argue. First of all, my master has left, and saying this now is disrespectful to him. Secondly, there are specialties in martial arts. A detailed analysis of the Taoist techniques we have learned.
There is still a difference, but in short it is still the same sentence, I will not ask Master how he was before, and I will not do anything harmful to nature, do you understand?"
"I'm doing it for your own good. Anyway, you must be clear that this skill must not have the slightest intention of harming others. I won't say anything more. You need to rest first. I will tell my grandpa.
You should take care of your family's affairs first."
"Okay, good night...Hey, Maggiore?"
"kindness?"
"It's okay. Go to bed early. Remember you said you wanted to treat me to dinner."
I smiled softly: "I remember, I will treat you good night when you come over."
With that said, I hung up the phone and lay on the bed. I sighed. Compared with Cheng Baize, I am happy. Although sometimes my family is quite miserable, I am not alone. I still have my grandpa.

…
Life here seems to have become normal and regular for me. I go to the store to work during the day, and sometimes I go to customers’ homes to take measurements. Of course, I want to thank the first female customer. She helped me with a lot of publicity.
He said that the curtains he asked me to help choose will have good luck. The county is small, so people who spread the word fell in love with my store to choose. It is originally a small county and the customer base is still small, but it has always been tepid.
The home furnishing industry is not popular, but my store is never short of customers, and some of them even have to make an appointment before they can choose from me.
Wen Xiaoni wanted to burst into laughter, and she kept saying during the night settlement: "Jiaolong, it won't be long before we can open a branch of Lin Qiao Home Furnishings in the city. By then, you will really be a big boss."
The boss!"
I smiled but said nothing, but I knew in my heart that the store had not recovered its original investment yet because it was too empty. Although it was popular compared to other stores, it was not a big business after all, and it was not possible to get rich overnight.
Some customers know that I am Lin Qiao, the owner of the store, and some customers know that my name is Jiao Long after hearing my self-introduction. So many people are confused and don’t know who I am, and I don’t have the time.
I explained and told Wen Xiaoni and Zong Bao not to waste words on this matter, but for some reason it became known that the owner of the store is a girl named Lin Qiao, and I am Mr. Jiao Yong, Lin Qiao’s employer.
Long, there are also some young people who don’t know the meaning of ‘Mr.’ and think that I am just a real man, so the final version is——
If you want to buy curtains, go to Linqiao Furniture. Why, someone will choose it for you. Whether you want to attract wealth or prosper your career, Jiaolong can choose for you. Who is Jiaolong? That handsome guy! He is kind and patient.
A real warm man! What? A bit girly? Do you know what a healing boy is? We girls like this kind of caring and long-lasting guy. He is handsome but not aloof. He is suitable for being a best friend!
When these words reached my ears, I had nothing to say except hehehe. The last thing I couldn't bear was that a girl came to ask me out specially. I had no choice but to pull Wen Xiaoni out again and introduce her solemnly.
: "Sorry, this is my girlfriend." (To be continued)
