Chapter 4: The Second Uncle

After searching for more than half an hour, Baiya came to the paper-making shop before it was completely dark. The shop saw that the sign of the shop said the Jilei paper was made of paper. There were rows of lanterns and paper horses hanging at the door. The shop was filled with ingots and candles and other incense offerings.

Seeing that he was already packing up his things and preparing to close the store, Bai Ya quickly accelerated his pace and rushed to enter the store.

"Hey, Xiaobai, why are you here? Are you going to buy something?" A tall and fat figure walked up to him and asked, holding a bamboo pole in one hand and two lanterns in the other.

"Oh, it's the head of the large intestine! I'm not here to buy things, I'm here to find my second uncle today." Bai Ya looked at the fat man in front of him, and based on the plot information instilled by the system, he knew that he was the male protagonist Zhu Hongli (Zhu Dachang).

"You go in to find him in the backyard by your second uncle. I'm still busy packing things and closing now." After knowing Bai Ya's purpose, Zhu Dachang signaled Bai Ya to go to the backyard by himself. It's not people I don't know, they are all brothers who have been familiar since childhood, so I didn't care much.

Bai Ya waved his hand at him and went to the backyard without hesitation. By the way, the actor who played Zhu Dachang is the famous superstar Hong in the 21st century. His height and body are worthy of being a martial artist. Standing beside him, I felt an inexplicable aura and pressure. It seems that Zhu Dachang is a very kind person. Could this be the so-called preconceived psychological shadow?

Bai Ya is even more looking forward to seeing her second uncle. You should know that the actor who plays the second uncle is "Uncle Ying" of the generation back then. Although the second uncle played in this plane is older and his wrinkled and gray hair makes him less recognizable, Bai Ya's heart is still full of expectations, and deep down, the feeling of the star-chasing clan being about to meet his idol has begun to surge.

While walking, I met many childhood playmates one after another, all of whom were workers who helped in my second uncle's shop, as well as colleagues of the pig's large intestine, such as Maomao, Cross-eye, and several others.

After entering the inner yard, before entering the house, what I saw was an old man with a crutch full of white hair and trembling as he walked.

"Second uncle, I'm here to see you." Bai Ya quickly greeted him and quickly stepped forward to support the old man.

"Oh, it's Xiaobai here. Why do you think of visiting my second uncle today?" My second uncle looked back and saw that it was Bai Ya and asked happily. This child was also grown up since he was a child! He went out to work hard a few years ago, and now he has his own family property. He is a promising and good child! Unlike the brat Zhu Dachang, he still has to take care of himself now.

"Second uncle, let's go into the house. I'm here for something. I want to ask you for something." Bai Ya helped the second uncle into the house, let him sit on a chair of the Grand Master, poured a cup of tea and respectfully put it on the small coffee table next to the second uncle. "Tell me, I've seen you when I go out of the far door. You're all here. Now you have a promising future. What else do you have to ask for me?!" The second uncle took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.

"Second uncle, you see, I have nothing to do when I come back this time. I will get moldy at home, so I want to add some money to your store so that I can come to the store to help you, and I can learn some skills with you." Bai Ya directly told the second uncle about the draft that he had written in his heart before.

"You kid is just diligent! Just add some money or something. If you want to learn my craftsmanship, just come and learn it. Xiaobai, you are just promising! Unlike Zhu Dachang's family who took over his father's father, his father made me worry. Until now his father died and left him, he still made me worry. I don't know if I can still watch Zhu Dachang as a father." The second uncle agreed to Baiya to learn craftsmanship from him without much consideration. Compared with Baiya, the second uncle was even more worried about Zhu Dachang.

"Uh, second uncle, I not only want to learn paperwork from you, but also want to learn your skills from you." Bai Ya said greedy and said again.

"Well... I need to learn Taoism. That's very important to be talented and qualified. It's not something you want to learn. Let me see how you are." After hearing Bai Ya's words, the second uncle said in contemplation, then stretched out his hands and grabbed every joint of Bai Ya hard.

This child has a good character and character. If he is qualified, he can't pass on his craftsmanship and Taoist robes to him. When he gets old, he has to find a successor who can really help! After all, there are ancestor worshipers in the nearby towns, and they have to come to him for help in weddings and white events, and he can't be busy alone.

Seeing that he was under his heavy strength, the child was still able to remain calm, and his second uncle's eyes slightly looked. Then, the second uncle took his hand and asked, "Xiaobai, have you not like fighting since you were a child and hate martial arts? Why do you seem to have practiced martial arts now?"

The body is strong, the joints are strong, and the muscles and fascia are tight and firm when grasped in the hands. This state of solidity must have been practiced for a long time.

"Practice martial arts! Well, I've been practicing for a while." Bai Ya was a little confused. When did he practice martial arts? Does the school's radio gymnastics count? But immediately I thought of the tiger and crane double-shaped fist that he had just exchanged. The system can be used immediately. Isn't that the same as having been studying for many years? So I honestly admitted it.

The second uncle looked at Bai Ya, "Do you really want to learn Taoism?!"

"Yes, Bai Ya grew up with the care of her fellow villagers since she was a child. Now she has earned some money to help her fellow villagers. Learning some Taoism can also benefit the villagers, and at least it can better help the villagers realize their life value in the countryside and outside the country." Bai Ya answered seriously.

The second uncle stared straight into Bai Ya's eyes, looking at the bright light in his eyes, his eyes were clean and clear, and his expression was graceful. He couldn't help but comfort him by listening to his sonorous and powerful answer. This child is so good!

"Well, then I'll teach you everything I know." The second uncle nodded with satisfaction and smiled, sitting upright on the chair of the Grand Master.

Bai Ya was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly poured another cup of hot tea, and respectfully knelt down to his second uncle.

"Master is here, please accept a prayer from my disciple."

"Well..." The second uncle took the teacup, took a sip of the tea, then put it down, and helped Bai Ya up with his hands and said, "The method cannot be passed on lightly. If you learn paper-making skills from me, I will teach you if you don't become a disciple. However, if you want to learn Taoism, you must be a disciple seriously. No matter how familiar your relatives are, you cannot avoid the common people. This is the rule of our Maoshan Taoist School. You have to go to pay homage to the ancestor later. This is the true ritual."

"Yeah, I understand." Bai Ya stood up and replied loudly.
