Chapter 45 Game Room

I suddenly felt a very bad feeling. My master said this to me as if he was asking me for funeral. I hope I was thinking too much.

When we walked out of the bamboo forest, there were many people gathered outside the bamboo forest. Most of them were senior brothers of the same generation as me. When we saw my master, everyone walked up and saluted my master.

Master has always been disgusted with these troublesome etiquettes, but when the younger generation comes to salute, my master is not good at raising airs, so he has to deal with it one by one.

Senior Brother Feng went to contact others. I saw Senior Brother Zhuang standing alone outside the crowd, so I went up and asked Senior Brother Zhuang: "Senior Brother, have you ever heard of a person named Luo Fei?"

Senior Brother Zhuang thought for a while and said, "Luo Fei, after hearing what you said, this name is really familiar... Yes, I remembered that she seems to be the last successor of the Ghost Sect. She lived in the Soul-Jiang Village for two months when she was a child."

I was about to ask, what kind of sect is the Ghost Sect? Before I could speak, my master ran over.

Brother Zhuang was quite casual when he was with my master in private, but now that so many fellow disciples are present, he is not rude. When he saw my master coming, he hurriedly bowed to my master: "Uncle Chai."

My master nodded to Senior Brother Zhuang unnaturally, glared at me and said, "What are you doing when you ask about Luo Fei? You can just practice hard now, don't think about anything else!"

I just asked for what was wrong? I didn't think about anything else, I was just curious, I was really curious.

But I can only think about this kind of thing in my heart and never dare to say it out. At this time, whenever I make excuses, my master will say that I am contradicting him, and say that I do not know how to respect the teacher or respect the Tao, and then I will copy the Tao Te Ching. It is less than five or ten times, but I have copied it twenty times.

Later, my master asked Senior Brother Zhuang again: "I have learned it, did you bring your passbook today?"

Senior Brother Zhuang took out a bank card from his pocket and wanted to hand it over to my master.

My master waved his hand and confiscated it. He just said to Senior Brother Zhuang: "I'm so anxious this trip, and I didn't bring my passbook. Then what? You can get me 20,000 yuan later and send it to you when I go back to Shandong."

Senior Brother Zhuang nodded readily, without any doubt that my master would borrow money and not pay it back.

You know, even if it is today, 20,000 yuan is not a small amount, let alone in that era. In Jihun Village, mutual trust among disciples is rare in society, but this trust is a blessing and a burden for me today.

After saying hello to the senior brothers present, my master and I returned to the hotel. After Brother Zhuang drove us to the destination, he went to the bank to withdraw money.

After returning to the hotel, the master took out an old wallet from his luggage. This was the first time I saw my master's wallet. It was thick, but the coins inside were all small for five or ten yuan, and they didn't add up to much.

While flipping through his wallet, the master also said to me: "You can solve the lunch yourself. After leaving the hotel, turn left. There is a noodle restaurant at the intersection. The Dandan noodles inside taste good. You can try it. Is it enough for five dollars?"

As he spoke, the master took out five dollars from his wallet. I forgot how much was a bowl of Dandan noodles at that time. Anyway, five dollars was definitely enough.

But my master looked at the money in his hand and muttered, "This kid can eat, but not a bowl." Then he changed five yuan to ten yuan, and asked me to "pull his butt" quickly and not delay his affairs here.

Pulling the butt is our dialect, which means getting out. But when my master spoke, he always spoke very standard Mandarin. These two words were spoken from his mouth, which made people feel strange.

The noodle restaurant that the master mentioned was very close to where we lived. It was a small shop at the entrance of the house. However, the chef had good skills and the noodles were also very substantial.

I usually have a big appetite, and the food here is spicy and very appetizing. I ate three large bowls of Dandan noodles and some side dishes, but when I paid, I realized that the money was not enough. Fortunately, the local people are relatively simple. The boss saw that I was a child, so he didn't care about me. When I left, the boss gave me a small bag of biscuits.

After dinner, I originally planned to go back to the hotel to take a nap, but when I reached the intersection, I heard a very dense shouting coming from a distance.

In this noise, I heard someone shouting: "There is a ghost!"

I was also shocked at that time. Where did the ghost come from when it was in broad daylight?

Later, I heard someone shouting: "Haoyougen!"

These shouts sound a little unreal. They clearly feel that they are coming from people's mouths, but the sound is heavy and dull, and ordinary people cannot make such sounds.

At this time, Xian'er suddenly spoke to me excitedly: "There is something fun, go and have a look!"

I asked Xian'er: "What's it?"

Xian'er just said that I'll know after reading it, and said that I must like it very much.

While I was confused, I looked for the direction of the sound. Not long after, I found the source of the sound. It was a small house along the street, with many boxes about the same height as me. The boxes were colorful and were painted with various patterns. There were many people standing next to each box. Two people stood in front of the box, slapped and smashed. The others were watching, pointing and pointing while watching.

At that time, I didn't know that those boxes were game consoles, which were later called arcades. I only knew that the sound I just heard was coming from these boxes.

I was full of curiosity and looked over and found that there was a TV in the box. There was a very fat man and a man in white clothes fighting. The two people standing in front of the box kept slapping buttons and shaking the rocker, and the people on the TV would make different actions.

This made me fascinated.

The game console is not large in size, but there are many types of games. In addition to the two-person game, there are also passes and racing people. I just wander around and watch it.

At this time, I felt a chill coming from my shoulders. I knew that Xian'er had also come out, so I opened my eyes and looked at my shoulders. I saw Xian'er only revealing a head on my shoulders, staring at the TV screens intently.

She seems to like these things very much, too.

I turned around for a while and just watched others play, and my heart started to itch. I happened to see that there was no one in front of a box, so I came over. But after I took photos of those buttons like others, I didn't even react on the TV, and I kept jumping in subtitles.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly came to me and said something to me in a dialect with a heavy accent.

I shook my head at him: "Ah? I don't understand."

He cleared his throat and said to me in awkward Mandarin: "You have to put Banban to play. Do you have Banban?"

I still shook my head: "What Banban?"

He took out a handful of small metal pieces like coins from his pocket and said to me: "Banban, two cents each, can you play?"

I touched my pocket, except for a small bag of biscuits, it was empty. When I was having dinner, I had spent all the money my master gave me.

I took out the cookies: "Do I use this line break?"

The middle-aged man looked at the biscuits in my hand, gave me a blank look, turned around and left.

Without game coins, I will definitely not be able to play, I can only watch others play. But the more I watch, the more I want to play, and I feel itchy and uncomfortable.

After lunch, more and more people in the game hall gradually increased. My size was tall among my peers, but compared with adults, it was still too small. Most of the people who came to the game hall were adults working nearby. They were blocked in front of the game console, so I couldn't squeeze in or see it. In the end, I could only leave in disappointment.

Xian'er seemed to have not enjoyed watching it. When I left the gaming console hall, she said to me: "You go back and ask Mr. Chai for some money, anyway, there's nothing to do in the afternoon."

What does it mean to have nothing to do in the afternoon? I haven’t finished my homework yet! If I lick my face and ask my master for money to come out to play, my master will never agree. If I don’t do it properly, I will check my homework.

Recently, I happened to have a text that I didn’t memorize. If my master spotted it, I would be finished.

When I returned to the hotel, Senior Brother Zhuang was not here and I didn’t have a magnetic card, so I could only go to find my master first. When I walked towards my master’s room, I was still wondering whether I should try to ask my uncle for some money. Although I knew that my master would not give it to me, I couldn’t help thinking so much.

The master's door was not closed, but when I entered, others were not there.

I saw that the master's wallet was placed on the bedside table, and the wallet zipper was not as good as the stack of five or ten yuan was exposed.

When I first saw my wallet, I didn’t think much about it and planned to wait for my master to come back.

But I could see the wallet and Xian'er could see it, so she heard her say to me: "It just so happened that your master is not here, please get some money and let's go out for fun."

Isn't this instigating me to steal something?

How dare I take my master’s money? If he finds that the money is low when he comes back, I will definitely not be able to afford it.

But Xian'er was still in my ear and said, "Look, there is so much money in your wallet, and it is scattered, so your master can't count it."

I was a little moved when I heard Xian'er say this, but I still said, "It's just stealing things, my master won't let me steal other people's things."

Xian'er said in a very soft voice: "How can your master be someone else? Hurry up, you will have no chance when your master comes back later. Oh, so you just think that I stole the money. Anyway, your master doesn't care about me. Don't hesitate, he will definitely not notice such broken money."
