Dumbfounded, subconsciously raised his head, he saw the old man's wrinkled face again, the old man had no expression on his face, he was staring at him, "What, what's the problem?"
The old man frowned slightly, thinking, it turned out to be a stupid boy, it's good to be stupid, isn't it just right?
"I asked you just now, have you never had enough?"
Dumb nodded, feeling that this old man didn't seem to have any intention of beating him, he couldn't help but be a little bolder, and said, "Yes, yes, I know you must be very angry, if you don't beat me, can you let me go."
Although this time the fish failed, but after all, the day is very long, Dumb Jue still has a chance to complete the task, he will never be discouraged by a failure to lead the fish, for the sake of his beloved steamed buns, he still has to continue to work hard, do his role well.
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "Did I say that I wouldn't beat you, you stole my money bag, it seems normal for me to beat you." ” Dumb's face, which had just relaxed a little, collapsed again, returned to the posture of holding his head with his hands, lowered his head and said, "Then, can you not hit my hands." ” The old man asked with some surprise, "Why?"
Dumb whispered: "Because, because I still have to lead the fish, if the hand is broken, I won't be able to hold the fish, and if I can't catch the fish, there will be no steamed buns to eat, and I will be beaten by Uncle Li." ” The old man just shook his head slightly, and then he understood what it meant, and he also understood that Uncle Li was the head of the stupid thief in front of him.
He had a funny feeling in his heart, the thief was caught by the victim, and he actually asked people not to hit his hands, and the stupid boy in front of him was really stupid "It's still light to beat you, with my identity, even if I kill you, no one will trouble me, believe it or not."
Dumb for a moment, he said: "Kill me, kill me, I won't die, what is it like to die, can you tell me first if it hurts to die, and there will be no steamed buns to eat after you die." ” The old man suddenly felt that talking to this stupid boy seemed to be much more cheerful.
However, the old man could never have imagined that the thin boy in front of him, who asked him what it was like to die, would become the "Grim Reaper" on the mainland more than ten years later, and become the person who brought death to others.
"Do you want to eat enough" The old man decided not to rub on with Dumb anymore, and went straight to the point.
Speaking of eating, Dumb suddenly came to his senses, the steamed bun he ate in the morning had already been digested in the cold weather, his stomach gurgled, raised his head, looked at the old man longingly and said, "I want to eat the most."
Either you can give me one of those purple coins.
At the thought of the chicken legs, Dumb's saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.
The old man said: "I won't give you money, but if you want to eat enough, just come with me, I will let you eat enough, and besides, I won't beat you." ” Dumb's eyes lit up, in the morning he just wanted to be taken away like a girl, and his wish came true, he asked carefully: "Really, can you really let me eat?"
The old man nodded and said, "If you have any other requests, you can also put them forward, and I will try my best to meet you, but this trip may not come back for a long time, you have to think clearly."
"He doesn't want to get a child back, cry to himself every day, kill him when the time comes, and come out to find another one.
Dumb shook his head and said, "I'm willing to go with you, as long as I can be fed, I don't have anything else to ask." ” The old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "Follow me, but you have to work, are you afraid of hard work." ” "What are you doing?"
asked Dumb, muttering.
The old man said: "It's better than you being a thief, at least I won't beat you, don't I can teach you if you can't." ” Dumb lowered his head and said, "But, but, I'm very stupid, they all say I'm stupid, can I learn?"
The old man said impatiently: "I said that you can learn it, so come with me."
With that, he turned and walked out of the alley.
Dumb answered, followed the old man and walked out, not a few steps, the old man suddenly stopped, Dumb didn't pay attention, just hit the old man's back, "Oops."
Dumb snorted in pain, covered his nose, and looked at the old man in confusion.
The old man turned around and said, "What's your name?"
Dumb said: "My name is Dumb." ” The old man said mockingly: "Dumb is really a human being, remember, my name is Goris, I am an alchemist, from now on, you are my apprentice." ” Dumb nodded, for fear that he would forget, and recited again and again: "Death in the song, death in the song," The old man's voice raised and said, "My name is Goris, it's not a song death, you remember it clearly for me."
You're going to call me Teacher in the future. ” "Oh, oh, I see, old, teacher.
But what does the teacher mean?
” Goris felt that he was really defeated by this little guy, and helplessly explained: "Teacher, you are the one who teaches you things.
With that, he turned around and walked out of the alley.
The name Goris would show respect even when the president of the Alchemist Guild heard it, after all, although he was moody, he was always one of the few master-level alchemists.
Dumb suddenly thought of Uncle Li's performance after the girl left yesterday, and hurriedly chased after him, and said, "Teacher, can you accompany me to tell Uncle Li, he has eaten steamed buns for me for so long, I want to leave, why do I have to say hello to him, otherwise, he will be angry." ” Goris thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, lead the way."
Originally, he didn't have to go with Dumb, but for the sake of his own plan, he had to let Dumb follow him with all his heart, so he would agree to Dumb's proposal that Dumb couldn't be stupid anymore.
Dumb led the way in front, turning around, and took Gorisi to the corner of the south of the city, outside the dilapidated house where he had lived for more than a year, at this time, most of the children were sent out by Uncle Li to work, and there was no noise.
Goris frowned and said, "Is this the place?"
Dumb nodded, carefully pushed open the wooden door that was not strong, and walked in first.
Uncle Li is holding a wine jar in the room and drinking a small wine, since the level of dumb fish is getting higher and higher, his income has gradually increased, and he no longer has to go out to work by himself, he is fantasizing that in a few more years, save more money, you can live a more comfortable life, and you can even marry a woman back, so that you can be a good uncle, and you don't have to go to the broken kiln to vent.
He was daydreaming with his eyes closed in the alcohol when the door suddenly opened, and Dumb's thin figure appeared in front of him.
"Well, why did you come back so soon and bring a few fish?"
Dumb said with some fear: "Uncle Li, I, I didn't catch the fish." ” As soon as he heard that Dumb didn't get back the results, Uncle Li's voice suddenly became sharp, and his fierce eyes widened, "I didn't catch the fish, I didn't get the fish, what did you do when you came back, and your skin was tight, isn't it?"
” Dumb's body trembled, and he said resignedly: "I, I'm coming back to say goodbye to you." ” Uncle Li was startled, and jumped off the bed with a thud, "You want to leave and eat my dry rice for so long, you just want to leave, your wings are hard, aren't you?"
"How can he be willing to let his cash cow go, he is not very distressed when the girl leaves, even if he stays, the one who can't bring the fish back will only waste food, even if it is sold to slave traders, I'm afraid it won't sell for much money.
But Dumb is different, now almost more than half of his income is brought by Dumb, and he will never let his cash cow leave.
Uncle Li tried his best to control his voice softly, and said, "Are you hungry again, I'll give you another steamed bun to eat, and then obediently go to lead the fish for me, don't do anything crooked, otherwise, hum."
He shook his fist and looked at Dumb menacingly.

The long-term accumulation of power made Dumb unconsciously want to retreat, it is also a good thing to be able to eat one more steamed bun Ah He was hesitating and didn't know what to say, Goris's voice sounded, "Otherwise, what can you do to him" With the sound of footsteps, Goris's tall figure appeared next to Dumb, and Uncle Li looked so obscene and small in front of him.
"You, what kind of person are you," Uncle Li asked with a smile.
Goris said lightly: "You don't care who I am, I came here with Dumb just to tell you, I will take him away, from now on, he is not a thief under you." ” Uncle Li's heart was a little cold, in front of this person who couldn't see his face clearly, there seemed to be an invisible pressure that made him breathless, but after all, interests were the most important, he mustered up his courage and said: "No, you can't take him away, no wonder he dares to leave me, it turns out that he has found a backstage."
I'll kill you.
As he spoke, he punched Dumb in the chest.
Dumb's subconscious body shrank, waiting for the pain to come, but there was no movement for a long time.
Dumb opened his eyes, only to find that Uncle Li's fist did not hit him, but stayed in mid-air, and was grabbed by a thin hand on his wrist, and cold sweat was flowing down Uncle Li's forehead.
"As I said, he is now my apprentice and you have no right to beat him again."
Goriss threw Uncle Li aside with a push, he was not as fragile as an ordinary magician's body, although he didn't know much martial arts, but a character like Uncle Li was not in sight.
Uncle Li covered his wrist and scolded angrily: "You, you bastard, do you want to rob people?"
Goris sneered and said, "A scumbag like you should have been punished by the gods a long time ago, and if you entangle it again, I will let you go to hell."
As he spoke, he stretched out the right hand that had just grabbed Uncle Li, and a few strange spells came from the cloak vaguely, and a black flame suddenly appeared in Goris's palm, the flame flashed with a strange brilliance, Goris's waved his hand, and the black flame turned into a line of fire and fell on the only three-legged wooden table in the room.
There was no sound, no sign of burning, and the wooden table vanished out of thin air, not a single ash remained, and only a foul smell remained in the air.
Dumb and Uncle Li froze, and Dumb said, "Teacher, are you doing magic, why is there no table?"
Goris glanced at him and said, "It's not magic, it's magic."
"If any magician of the intermediate level or above saw the scene just now, he would be surprised to find that the flame used by Goris was a fusion magic that combined dark magic and fire magic.
Uncle Li's teeth kept colliding up and down, "You, you, you're a magician."
Don't, don't kill me, Master Magician.
He knew very well that if a small person like himself wanted to kill himself, it would be as easy as killing an ant, and no one would care about the life or death of a thief.
What's more, in addition to the Holy See and the Suoyu Federation, no matter what country the magician is in, as long as he does not kill a nobleman, he has a certain right of pardon.
No one wants to offend them.
Goris turned his head and said to Dumb: "I've already explained, let's go." ” Dumb looked at Uncle Li, Uncle Li sat there with a pale face and didn't say anything, after all, compared to money, it seems that life is more important
