Chapter 39

The torrential rain lasted two days and two nights. Rao is Baijiang city. It can discharge the flood next to the river, otherwise it would have become a vast ocean.

Chen Mo braved the drizzle and walked quickly on the side of the Baijiang river. In the dark night, the turbulent River crashed and rang. He flashed his flashlight. The river was boiling and bright.

The Dragon King temple has appeared. In the field of vision, a solitary lamp with dim yellow light is like a ghost, which makes Chen Mo feel like a wild adventure.

The Dragon King Temple is not big, but it is definitely not small. Usually, those who make a living on the river can't help but come here on the 15th day of the first day of the lunar new year to worship and pray for wealth and peace, so the incense is still strong. But in the middle of the night, even those who are idle will certainly not come here for a stroll.

At the door of the Dragon King's face are two large columns with couplets written in red paint. The upper couplet is that the Dragon King Temple is the most dangerous temple in the Baijiang River, and there is mystery without a temple; The second line is the White Crane Tower, half of the sea of clouds, the fairy tower, climbing the tower and climbing the star Lou. Horizontal plaque, Dragon King temple.

Through the temple gate, Chen Mo sees the old man sitting in the temple. The old man was smoking at a dark desk with his legs crossed.

"Master, I'm coming." Chen Mo smiles all over his face. At the same time, he takes out from his arms a night snack specially prepared for the old man, a bottle of Baijiang Daqu, a kilogram of peanuts, a kilogram of pig head meat, especially pig head meat, which is still hot.

Although the old man said he wouldn't accept Chen Mo as an apprentice, since he was willing to teach him his craft, he was also a nominal master, so Chen Mo was still commensurate with the master. Besides the word master, Chen Mo couldn't think of a better title. He couldn't open his mouth and listen to the old man. The old man's cry was both strange and awkward.

At that time, the old man took a look at the night snacks brought by Chen Mo, smiled and wrinkled his face, and said, "your boy is very thoughtful."

"Master, you should like it. I'll bring it to you every day in the future."

When the supper was put on the stone table, the old man pinched a piece of pig head meat and put it in his mouth, saying, "it tastes good."

At the same time, the old man said, "there are two basic skills in stealing, mainly body method and eye method. Today I'll tell you about the body method. Body method is also called technique. It is mainly to practice stealing movements quickly and accurately. In fact, it's a technique, which mainly depends on the coordination ability of the body to achieve the rapidity of the technique... "

"Master, wait." Chen Mo hurriedly took out a small book from his pocket, then sat cross legged on the ground, opened it and said, "go on, master. I'm stupid. I forget it when I've heard it. It's better to write it down in a notebook. "

At that time, the old man took a sip of wine, showed his praising rhubarb teeth, and then said: "in our business, we first talk about stability, and then accuracy..."

This night is a subversive night for Chen mo. in addition to knowing that the thief's grandfather is a great source, he also knows that the thief is a very old and universal craft.

In the old man's mouth, like rats crossing the street, everyone shouted to beat the thief, which seemed to become an unfathomable and learned profession. Chen Mo has written down three notebooks just for theoretical knowledge.

For several days in a row, Chen Mo came out at night. When the old man taught, Chen studied hard. That night, Chen Mo came again as promised. When the wine, meat and dishes were arranged, the old man said, "let's not talk about theory tonight and practice some practical content."

These days, Chen Mo has long been made one big and two big by boring theoretical knowledge. When he heard that he wanted to be practical, his eyes lit up and rubbed his hands. He looked forward to it and asked, "what does Master practice?"

The old man took a sip of wine, put his hand into his pocket, took out a handful of soybeans and sprinkled them on the ground.

Wow

Chen Mo looked at the soybeans spreading like flowers on the ground and asked, "master, what are you going to practice?"

The old man said, "this is to practice your speed and accuracy. Pick up these beans as fast as you can and Practice for half a month first."

Chen Mo's head was confused and said, "then I'll pick up soybeans every day in the future?"

"Yes, every day."

Looking at the ground full of soybeans like mole ants, Chen Mo's head was as big as a bucket and said, "master, when will we practice this? I think you'd better teach me the secret of peeping directly. "

The old man stared and said, "Rome wasn't built in a day. The foundation can't be built well. No matter how good the floor is, it will collapse. Even if I give you the peeping skill, you can't become a skilled thief."

"Why do you have to be a thief to learn peeping?" Chen Mo finally asks what he doesn't understand.

When the old man's eyes moved, he said, "this is called a faction. It shows that the white point is called a faction. You can't even steal things you can see and touch. How to steal time when you can't see and touch."

"Steal time?" Chen Mo looked at the old man's face in surprise. It was the first time he heard that time could be stolen.

When the old man nodded and said, "an inch of time and an inch of gold, what is the most valuable in the world? That's time. It's also the highest level of our thief business. If you want to be a time thief, you must do a good job in basic skills. This is like climbing a mountain. If you don't climb up step by step, instead of running fast, you will only fall and fall miserably. Boy, only when you stand on the top of the mountain, can you live to see the infinite scenery on the top of the mountain. "

Chen Mo blinks, time thief? If you can steal time, can you live forever?

"Boy, don't be in a daze. Pick it up quickly."

Chen Mo nodded and said, "OK, master, I'll do whatever you want me to do."

Picking up beans is an extremely boring and idiotic thing. Chen Mo is dizzy and his fingers hurt. Even sleeping and dreaming are beans. He feels that he is in a world where beans are beans. Picking up beans, eating beans, pulling beans, and even sneezing can eject a few beans from his nostrils.

Beans, beans, countless beans.

Chen Mo thinks that if there is a bean picking competition in the world, he will certainly become the person who picks up the most beans in Guinness.

But Chen Mo is very motivated. Especially when he sees the old man's shining eyes, he knows that the old man is satisfied with his performance.

Time thief, just listening to it makes Chen Mo feel hot. He thinks he has never been so motivated. If he has this effort at school, can Chen Mo get a doctor's degree or a master's degree?

Chen Mo thinks he can't, because unless his father who forced him into the thief business dies first.
