Chapter 21 Two Roads
After walking around, Wang Hao followed Old Man Qi into the shop, but was not stopped. However, after entering the shop, Old Man Qi went up the second floor, closed the door, and ignored him.
This is a two-story building. The first floor is a shop and the second floor is accommodation. The shop on the first floor is stuffy and hot, and there are still many mosquitoes. Wang Hao insisted for a few minutes and escaped and shouted to the window with the lights on on the second floor: "Old man Qi, I'll come tomorrow, you can wait!" After that, he turned around and left.
When I got home, I took a shower and changed my clothes, and then I felt a little cool and a little hungry. So I went out to a barbecue stall, ordered twenty skewers and a bottle of beer, and while eating, I thought I couldn't just forget it, I could even hear a sound if I threw it into the sea for 50,000 yuan.
He was speechless all night. Early the next morning, Wang Hao drove to the old city of Shibei. There were basically rental houses here. He was lucky. There was a storefront diagonally opposite the old man Qi shop. It was also a storefront on the first floor and accommodation on the second floor. So he rented it down and prepared to fight with old man Qi for a long time.
After paying the rent for half a year, I bought an air conditioner online and bought toiletries in the small supermarket around me. By the evening, I was basically done.
Lily came around before going to work and said, "Brother Hao, are you going to live here?"
"Yes!" Wang Hao nodded, because he did not have an ID card for the time being, so he was still rented in Lily's name.
During the whole day, Old Man Qi looked at him coldly and did not speak out.
In the next week, Wang Hao had already planned to follow Old Man Qi every day, and was inseparable from him, and he had to eat his drink. However, in practice, reality and ideals were deviated. It was easy to follow Old Man Qi, but it was very difficult to eat the other person’s drink the other person’s.
For example, at noon, Wang Hao's stomach started to rumbling, but Old Man Qi just didn't start eating, and the two of them were hungry. In the end, Wang Hao was defeated and ordered the takeaway. However, as soon as the takeaway arrived, Old Man Qi snatched it away. He took a bite shamelessly, then pretended to cough and sprayed all the rice into the dishes, making Wang Hao unable to eat even if he snatched it back.
So it eventually developed that every time it was time for dinner, Wang Hao ordered two takeouts and had to change a large bucket of water every day. Because Old Man Qi didn't do anything at all, making tea became his job. Gradually, something was wrong. He didn't pester Old Man Qi, but became the other party's follower, making tea, pouring water, buying rice and cleaning.
That day, Old Man Qi finished his meal and lie on the lounge chair while drinking tea. Wang Hao sat on the stool next to him with a depressed expression. He didn't know if he had to persist.
"The takeaway tastes so bad. From tomorrow, you go shopping for groceries and cooking." Old Man Qi's voice suddenly rang.
"Uh?" Wang Hao was stunned and said, "Why? If you like to eat or not, you didn't plan to give it to you."
"Don't you learn to unlock the lock?" said Old Man Qi.
"study!"
"Then start buying groceries and cooking tomorrow."
"I..." Wang Hao wanted to say that I was a hairy person, but he only said one word I, and swallowed the rest of the words back. After thinking for a moment, he comforted himself in his heart. A real man can bend and stretch, and he can see anything like an old man who is about to fall into the soil. Just carry forward the tradition of respecting the elderly and loving the young: "Oh, okay!"
The next morning, Wang Haochen finished his practice, bought breakfast, and called Lily to take him to the nearby vegetable market.
"Brother Hao, aren't you going to eat the old man's?" Lily asked with a puzzled look: "Why do you have to cook by yourself again? Besides, do you know how to cook?"
"It should be." Wang Hao said, without too much explanation.
I bought pork ribs, shrimps, clams, sea bass and a few blue colors at the vegetable market. To be honest, he was about to vomit when he had takeout.
"Brother Hao, I bought so many things. Can I come and have a free meal at noon?" Lily asked.
"bring it on."
"Thank you, Brother Hao."
At noon, Wang Hao made sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed sea bass, spicy clams, shrimps, and fried vegetables. Lily said while eating, "Brother Hao, I can't tell, your cooking is quite delicious."
Wang Hao actually didn't quite understand why he cooked, and he looked pretty good.
Old Man Qi was quite satisfied with the food, but he still didn't mean to teach Wang Hao to unlock the lock. Although Wang Hao hinted several times after the meal, he pretended to be stupid and didn't see it.
"I'll just go, I won't be fooled by this old man again, right?" Wang Hao guessed in his heart, feeling that the old man Qi in front of him was very appropriate to the words on the Internet. Believe you, you are so bad, you are so bad.
The investment was too great, the money was spent, and time wasted. If the goal was not achieved in the end, it would be completely failed. So although Wang Hao wanted to leave, he gritted his teeth and did not leave, and no longer complained or hinted, because it was useless to Old Man Qi.
He gritted his teeth, and felt a little nervous in his heart. He had sex with Old Man Qi. In this way, after another half a month, he gradually applied this kind of peaceful life. During this period, he received several calls from Qu Bing, saying that Yilong would not let her come to the sea again, and felt very aggrieved. Wang Hao comforted him for a while, but there was no good idea. After all, Yilong's original intention might be to protect his safety.
That morning, Wang Hao bought breakfast as usual and came to Old Man Qi's shop. However, before breakfast, Old Man Qi suddenly asked, "What do you want to do when you learn to unlock the lock?"
"I……"
Wang Hao was about to make up a random reason, but Old Man Qi rushed to say, "I only listen to the truth. If it is a lie, you don't need to say it."
"I, I..." Wang Hao said two words of me, but he didn't say the reason just made, frowning, and thought for a moment, saying: "My wife and her first love are getting along again. Her first love is an addict. I thought of installing a camera in his room. Otherwise, if there is no evidence, my wife wouldn't believe it."
These words are the truth, but not his real purpose.
"What can you do even if your wife knows the truth? Can you still go back?" Old Man Qi's eyes showed a wise look at him at this time.
"Of course I can't go back, but if I leave, wouldn't I admit defeat? This is a battle. Even if I want to retreat, I have to defeat the enemy first." Wang Hao said.
Old man Qi stared at him for more than ten seconds, finally nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
"Uncle Qi, are you going to teach me to unlock the lock?" Wang Hao asked, a little excited. In order to learn how to unlock the lock, he had been here for more than 20 days and spent more than 50,000 yuan, which was a bit high.
"Two choices, first, three days will teach you to open various security doors and ordinary locks on the market. As for proficiency, you will practice it yourself; second, teach you a trick of nothing," said Old Man Qi.
"What is Miaoshou Kongkong?" Wang Hao asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Old Man Qi smiled slightly, reached out and patted Wang Hao lightly. The next second, when he picked up his hand again, there was an additional cell phone.
"This..." Wang Hao looked at the phone in Old Man Qi's hand and didn't say anything for a moment, because it was too fast and a little incredible. The phone was his. It was in his pocket a second ago, but it appeared in Old Man Qi's hand the next second, and he didn't feel anything.
"Do you understand?" asked Old Man Qi.
Wang Hao nodded.
"I originally thought that the things passed down from the old society would end up with me, but when I met you, it might be fate, and I thought that I should not let this craft be lost. Think about it. If I only learn the first one, I can teach you immediately. If I learn the second one, I must follow the old rules and kowtow to worship tea and become a disciple." Old Man Qi said.
"Oh, give me some time to think about it, now I'm a little confused." Wang Hao said.
"Give me the answer before six o'clock tonight."
"Oh!" Wang Hao responded.
The apprenticeship of Old Man Qi is different from the apprenticeship in today's society. Wang Hao vaguely felt that apprenticeship in the old society was a very serious matter. Once the heaven, earth, king, and parents, once the master and apprentice bowed, the master and apprentice would be like father and son.
"What should I do?" Wang Hao thought secretly. According to his original wishes, he could learn to unlock the locks. As long as he learned skills and principles, practiced diligently, he could open the door of Huang Hongwei's apartment without knowing it and complete the task, but Old Man Qi asked him a difficult problem.
Although Old Man Qi's expression seemed to be calm, Wang Hao had a sense of clarity in his heart. If he refused to be the other party's apprentice, Old Man Qi would probably have nothing to do on the surface, but he would definitely be sad.
A person who had buried a half of his body in the soil had already lost his inheritance, but suddenly became tempted again. He also thought it was a fate from heaven. Once he refused, he might be deeply hurt.
After thinking about it, Wang Hao felt that he could not refuse, although he did not want to learn any unique skills: "Oh, Old Man Qi is very pitiful, so he recognizes his ancestors and serves them carefully in the future. As the saying goes, if you have an old family, you will be like a treasure."
Before he could wait until six o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Hao made a decision: "Uncle Qi, I will choose the second one to inherit your unique skills and give you a teacher."
"Boy, don't look reluctant, put it in the old society, begging me to accept him as my disciple to kneel down to the beach from here. Even if I speak now, there will be people coming to you in a constant stream." Old Man Qi said.
"It is my blessing to be your apprentice." Since I figured it out, Wang Hao stopped struggling and said with a respectful look on his face.
Only then did Old Man Qi nodded with satisfaction: "You come to the second floor tonight and you will become a disciple."
"Yeah!" Wang Hao nodded, but a wail came out in his heart. After tonight, he was not just pretending to be a grandson in front of Old Man Qi, but becoming a real grandson. He would also have to take care of his old age and see him off in the future.
In the afternoon, Old Man Qi began to teach Wang Hao how to unlock the locks and found several types of locks for security doors on the market. While explaining the principles, he also demonstrated how to use a wire to hook the lock.
The spring lock is so easy to open. As long as you hook it right, it will open it all at once. The mechanical lock is a bit difficult and requires skills and feelings. Wang Hao didn't master it for a while, which made Old Man Qi complain: "Looking at you, why are you so stupid? It's been two hours since you haven't opened a mechanical lock. Look, I'll demonstrate it again."
Wang Hao curled his lips, felt depressed, and said to himself: "Did you just learn it well? Can you give me some time to practice? You are not born to be a thief." Of course, I dare not say such words in front of Old Man Qi.
