Sixth Master did not ask Li Huashi why Hua Zuobai was only one of her names, nor did he ask her what her other names were.
Li Huashi smiled and said, "Sixth Master, you take a rest first. I'll go out and buy some food."
I had been away for a while, so I gave Sister Xiaofang, who cooks, a holiday. Now there is food at home, but no vegetables.
Although there is some in the warehouse, it is not appropriate to take it out in front of Master Liu.
I bought five dishes and one soup, three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.
The two of them were eating.
Li Huashi planned the future arrangements.
"Sixth Master, after dinner I will take you to buy some clothes and shoes, and then find a bathhouse for you.
You wash it, rub it, and then... if you want your hair to be like this, you don't have to cut it.
Look at the Second Master and the Ninth Master, they are all clean and tidy. You are too shabby and embarrassing me! You must go!"
Sixth Master said nothing, but just kept eating.
He wouldn't think that someone was trying to please him because of what happened just now.
His apprentice is a bit rude and likes to stir up trouble, which is a headache for people, but in terms of treatment, he is really well treated.
Li Huashi has also gotten used to her master's bad behavior of not paying much attention to her.
Seeing that Sixth Master didn't refuse, Li Huashi took it as Sixth Master's agreement.
Li Huashi continued to chatter, "Master Jiu and his family won't default on their debt, right? When their compensation arrives, let's ask if there's a bigger yard for sale.
We agreed that you would watch the gate for me. After all, I live alone and it’s boring and unsafe.
But if we live here alone, this place is too small. Let’s buy a bigger house.
Or maybe I can open a store. Let me think about what kind of business I should start?
A restaurant? But it seems a bit too noisy, and I have to hire a cook, a vegetable washer, a vegetable cutter, a waiter, and people to wash dishes and sweep the floor, which seems too troublesome.
How about opening a... "
Blackback Laoliu listened silently without expressing any opinion, only after finishing his meal.
The Sixth Master then spoke: "I have something to do and I have to leave for a while. Since you don't want to follow me to the tomb, then you should stay in Changsha, behave yourself, and don't cause any trouble."
Now that Er Yuehong and the others know that this person is their apprentice, there is no one left who can cause trouble for her for the time being.
And given how cunning his little disciple was, Er Yuehong and the others couldn't get any evidence against her, let alone the Japanese.
This guy has never admitted that it was her who caused his lost money.
If Sixth Master had not been sure that it was her who did it, he would have suspected that he had wronged her.
So Liu Ye was not worried that someone would kill him after he left.
Li Huashi paused and said, "Going to the grave? Sixth Master, I am actually very curious about one thing. Since you also have the skill of going to the grave, why are you the only one among the Nine Sects who looks so poor?"
Sixth Master glanced at Li Huashi and didn't answer.
Seeing this look, Li Huashi inexplicably thought of the more than two hundred dollars she took from Sixth Master that day.
After blinking, someone smiled shamelessly without any guilt.
The Sixth Master withdrew his gaze, with an expression that showed he didn't want to say anything more to her.
Li Huashi changed the subject: "If you ask me, you should just not go to the tomb. There are so many traps in the tomb, it's dirty and smelly, and there's no telling how many dirty things there are.
What's more, money can tempt people to kill people for treasures, and people may stab you in the back.
What if you get sick, get injured, or die outside? You guard the door for me and act as my bodyguard, and I will give you 100 yuan a month.
I'll give you an extra hundred dollars as a gift from you as a disciple to honor you as your master. You can spend it on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling."
Liu Ye stood up with the knife in his hand and said to Li Huashi, "I'm leaving."
Then he went out.
Li Huashi shook her head and sighed.
In the past few days, through the skills of Sixth Master in catching herself, Li Huashi also understood why Blackback Sixth Master could occupy one of the nine gates by himself.
Such a person would have been a brave and capable general in ancient times.
Two hundred dollars, less than the price of twenty taels of gold, was used to hire a general-level person to guard the door and act as a thug.
Actually, I made money.
But Sixth Master might feel embarrassed to use his apprentice's money to eat, drink, gamble, or something like that.
Although her identity as the disciple of the Sixth Master of the Nine Gates can save her a lot of trouble.
but……
Looking at the room where she was alone again, Li Huashi felt so bored.
"I'm alone again..."
——————
The compensation from Jiu Ye and his men was delivered to their door on the same day.
In addition, it is said that another part of it is a gift from them to themselves as Sixth Master's apprentice.
Li Huashi took inventory and found that everyone was generous.
After exchanging all the things that could be exchanged for money, Li Huashi began to think about the next arrangements.
Today's society is in turmoil and it's hard to tell when a fight might break out.
Although Li Huashi said that she was not interested in joining the torrent of history, she did not have so many lofty ideals.
But she also knew that since she was on the land of this country, there were some things that she could not avoid completely even if she wanted to.
What's more, she doesn't like eating alone, so now she has someone to eat with.
Then she has more things to consider and think about.
After all, she wasn't someone who would be willing to share a dish with everyone.
So what if one day, because of the war, her master died.
It’s unknown how long it will take for her to meet the next person who can have dinner with her.
