A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 45 Hidden Anger

When Duan Rong woke up, the room was dark. There seemed to be wind outside, blowing the gauze on the carved window, making a whistling sound!

Duan Rong stretched himself and said to himself, "The wind is blowing so hard, it looks like the weather is going to change!"

Duan Rong jumped out of bed, took the wooden basin, and prepared to go to the well to wash.

He is in a good mood!

I didn’t have any erotic dreams last night!
Moreover, yesterday at 3 p.m., when he was painting those geishas, he didn't feel any heat in his lower abdomen!

All this seems to indicate that drawing the map on the bed sheet that night was purely accidental!

There is nothing wrong with Guanyun’s prescription!
Moreover, he had been standing in the stance for two days, and he was full of energy and the medicinal power in his meridians was still surging. Although this medicine was expensive, it was beyond Duan Rong's expectations that it was so powerful!
After Duan Rong finished washing up, he came to the martial arts field again and started standing still!
He is simply a crazy training machine!

Duan Rong's crazy practice actually has a lot to do with his experience as a social animal in his previous life!
Only when you have experienced the ups and downs in the society, can you truly understand the importance of learning!
The essence of education, in fact, is not cultivation, but screening!
Screen out capable people, give them opportunities, provide them with resources, and let them develop what needs to be developed!

The cannon fodder that is eliminated through this cruel screening can only wander around the periphery of this huge machine of official structure, and be left to live and die on their own!
Of course, you can find other ways to get out of this mess, but the chances are much smaller! Those who can accomplish something are actually rare!

Duan Rong regretted countless times in his previous life that he had not studied hard enough in high school and had not been admitted to a prestigious university!

But now, he is reborn!

A person should not make the same mistake a second time!
He just wants to practice like crazy!

Roll you to death!

Duan Rong stood at this station until it was almost time to submit his application.

He exhaled to disperse his energy, and there was a hint of dejection in his eyes.

His body began to feel weak again. The medicinal power of a packet of medicine actually took him three days of hard training!
"Guanyun's prescription is effective." Duan Rong finally gave his evaluation after three days of trying.

"It seems that after closing the stall, I have to go to the herbal medicine shop!"

"You can't stop taking the medicine!"

Duan Rong returned to the dormitory, washed off the stinky sweat on his body, turned into a walking shelf, and headed to the opposite side of Huaying Building...

A red glow had appeared in the western sky, and in the dusk, bats were flying up and down, catching small insects.

Xiao Zongting limped down the steps in front of the house, smacking the jade mouthpiece of his pipe.

After a few days of taking medicine and acupuncture, Xiao Baijiao's condition has finally stabilized, and she was able to get up and do needlework yesterday.

Xiao Zongting's anxious heart finally settled down.

He was now preparing to go to the accounting office in the inner courtyard to collect this month's salary.

I had been so worried about Xiao Baiqiao's illness that I even forgot about the monthly allowance.

After Xiao Zongting finished smoking a pack of cigarettes, he knocked the ash off a willow tree nearby.

After knocking off all the ashes, he put his hands behind his back, took a shortcut and went to the inner courtyard.

Xiao Zongting walked through a corridor and saw two bodyguards in front of him, whispering something to each other.

Xiao Zongting has never paid much attention to rumors and gossip, and he didn't listen to them carefully.

But when he suddenly heard the name Duan Rong, he couldn't help but prick up his ears!
After all, he was his current apprentice, and if people gossiped about him, they might even involve him.

"...The apprentice...began to go to the medicine furnace room to make medicine..."

"I heard that he even went to a brothel to sell his paintings..."

"Isn't this bringing shame to our Yuanshun Escort Agency?"

It would have been better if Xiao Zongting didn't listen. After hearing this, his originally skinny face became even darker!
He didn't even ask for his monthly salary, and left Yuanshun Escort Agency! It was dusk!

In the dusk, a weary crow fluttered its wings and flew slowly by...

Xiao Zongting stood at an alley not far from Huaying Tower, looking angrily at Duan Rong who was setting up his easel under a big locust tree.

The dim light from the lantern shone on Duan Rong's face. Xiao Zongting stood there and saw it clearly.

At this time, there was only one customer left in front of Duan Rong's painting stall.

She was a chubby girl with double buns, bangs on her forehead, and a round face like a full moon!
After a few days, Duan Rong's skills had reached perfection. Before the door of Huaying Tower was opened, he had already taken down the painting and handed it to the girl.

When the fat girl took the painting and looked at it, two dimples immediately appeared on her face. She turned around and left excitedly. She couldn't wait to share it with others.

The fat girl was walking impatiently when she was suddenly blocked by a skinny and vicious old man.

When the fat girl saw the old man's appearance, she immediately covered her chest in fear, her face changed slightly, and she asked, "What are you doing?"

"Girl, don't panic!" Xiao Zongting forced a smile.

It would have been fine if he didn't smile. He looked even scarier when he did, and the fat girl looked even more frightened.

"I just want to ask, how much is this painting in your hand?"

When the fat girl heard that he was asking about painting, her expression eased a little. Although the old man looked like this, everyone loves beauty. Who says that old men can't paint? So she replied, "Ten taels."

"Ten taels?" Xiao Zongting's face twitched and he was slightly stunned.

The fat girl smiled, walked around Xiao Zongting and left.

It seems that the old man is not only scary, but also poor! He must be an old bachelor!
Xiao Zongting was standing at the entrance of the alley and suddenly sneezed loudly. At this moment, he saw Duan Rong had transformed into a walking shelf and turned into an alley.

Xiao Zongting's eyes were gloomy and he followed with a limp!

Duan Rong first went to the herbal medicine shop, got another dose of medicine, and then went straight back to Yuanshun Escort Agency.

Duan Rong went from the front yard, through the moon gate, into the middle yard, crossed the martial arts field, and came to his dormitory yard.

He was going to put his things in the dormitory, then go have dinner, and then go to the medicine furnace room to boil medicine!

Duan Rong was already very familiar with his own doghouse, so he didn't turn on the light and prepared to put down his things and go to the cafeteria.

He had just put his things away in the corner and turned around, only to suddenly notice a dark figure standing at the door.

The dim light from outside cast the figure into the house, making it look like a ghost.

Duan Rong's heart tightened and his hand pressed on the hilt of the knife at his waist.

"follow me!"

Duan Rong felt relieved when he heard that it was Mr. Xiao's voice.

"Take the medicine you got!" After Xiao Zongting said this, he turned and left in the darkness.

This time, Duan Rong heard the faint anger in Xiao Zongting's voice!

He picked up the medicine, locked the door, and quickly caught up with Xiao Zongting.

Duan Rong followed Xiao Zongting and walked out step by step, his heart pounding!
"Did something happen? Mr. Xiao, why did you suddenly come to the dormitory to block me?"

It was already dark at this time. Duan Rong followed Xiao Zongting nervously all the way to the double courtyard where he lived.

After entering the yard, Duan Rong saw smoke coming out of the kitchen chimney, with a faint glow of fire inside. From time to time, he could catch a glimpse of Zhu Xiaoqi in red, walking around busy...

Duan Rong licked the corner of his mouth. He could already smell the fragrance of food!
I haven’t had dinner yet!
