Chapter 14 Trigger the plot
The next day.

"Boss, I would like to take half a day off."

Taking advantage of the time when the crew was not busy, Bai Shu went to the boss and said.

"Ask for leave? What kind of leave?"

The boss lay on the recliner, cast a sidelong glance at Bai Zhu, took a puff of cigarette comfortably, and said, "No!"

Seeing the arrogant appearance of the boss, Bai Shu felt dark in his heart, and said, "Since the boss doesn't allow leave, then I won't work here."

"Ok?"

Hearing Bai Shu's words, the boss stood up angrily and said, "What did you say, say it again!"

"I said, I want to leave the troupe."

Bai Shu stared at the boss without showing any signs of weakness.

"Okay, okay you, Liang Kuan, you white-eyed wolf!"

The boss pointed his pipe at Baizhu's nose and cursed: "Have you forgotten who brought you back from the streets? If it weren't for me, you would have starved to death on the streets!"

"Okay, boss, don't tell me such deceitful nonsense."

Bai Shu said indifferently: "I am very grateful that you brought me back from the street, but I have worked for you for half a year in vain, is it considered compensation for you? Why, you still want me to be a coolie for your whole life for nothing?" ?”

"you……"

Seeing Bai Shu's sarcastic eyes, the boss suddenly felt that Bai Shu was a little strange, and wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"Since you don't speak, boss, I'll take it as your consent."

Bai Shu patted his body and said, "I didn't bring anything with me when I came here, and I won't take anything with you when I left."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

"and many more!"

He took two steps and was stopped by the boss again.

"how?"

Bai Shu frowned and turned her head, thinking that the boss wanted to stop her.

Seeing Bai Shu's impatient appearance, the boss secretly hated him, but his face had a regretful expression, and said: "Forget it, since you have made up your mind to go, I won't stop you, but if you really think I treat you as a coolie, then you are wrong!"

"Oh?"

Bai Shu looked at the boss in surprise.

The boss said: "You have worked with me for a total of half a year. I will never treat you badly. Now I can't calculate the detailed accounts for a while. How about this... you come back at noon and I will settle the accounts for you." I'll give you as much as I should give you."

"Really?"

Hearing what the boss said, Bai Shu's eyes were full of suspicion.

Could it be that I misunderstood him?
"Believe it or not, if you don't come at noon, you won't have the money!"

Seeing Bai Zhu's suspicious eyes, the boss turned and left with a straight face.

"This……"

Seeing the back of the boss leaving, Bai Shu scratched his head, wondering if the boss really wanted to settle his salary, or had other plans.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if he is real or not, anyway, it will only take a while."

After pondering for a while, he couldn't come to any conclusion, so Bai Shu simply stopped thinking about it.

……

After leaving the theater, Bai Shu soon came to Baozhilin after inquiring all the way.

Bang, bang, bang!

Bai Shu knocked on the copper ring on the door: "Is Master Huang there?"

"Who...who?"

Not long after, Bai Zhu heard a stammering voice coming from inside.

Bai Shu knew that this must be a toothache, so he said: "I came to see Master Huang, and I want to worship him as a teacher."

After speaking, the door was opened from the inside by Yacasu with buck teeth and glasses.

He pushed up the frames of his glasses, looked Baizhu up and down, and asked, "You...you want...to become...a disciple?"

"Actually, you can speak to me in English."

Feeling that it was too much effort to talk to Ya Casu, Bai Shu immediately spoke in English.

"OMG, you also speak English?"

Hearing the fluent English spoken by Bai Shu, Ya Casu asked in surprise.

He said this without stammering at all.

"Yes, I learned it from a priest."

Bai Shu explained.

"Quick, come in."

After finally meeting someone with whom he could communicate fluently, Ya Casu was extremely excited.

After entering the house, Bai Shu knew that Huang Feihong had gone out in the morning and was not in Baozhilin now.

"Master Huang is not here."

Bai Shu was a little disappointed.

"It doesn't matter. Master will be back in the afternoon."

Ya Casu poured Bai Zhu a cup of tea and said, "What's your name?"

"My name is Liang Kuan, from Meixian County."

Bai Shu took the tea and thanked her.

"Then how do you speak English so well, are you also an international student?"

Ya Casu continued to ask.

"That's not true. I learned English from a foreign priest."

Bai Shu explained again.

"By the way, you just said that you came here to become your master?"

Ya Casu remembered what Bai Shu said just now: "Do you want to study medicine or kung fu?"

"Of course Kung Fu!"

Bai Shu said, "Who doesn't know Master Huang's kung fu in Foshan?"

Not to mention that the main purpose of his time travel is to learn martial arts, but before the time travel, when he read the few Chinese medicine books he bought online, he already acquired the skills of Chinese medicine, so naturally he would not study medicine with Huang Feihong again.

After the two chatted for a while, Bai Shu got up and said, "Since Master Huang is not here, I will come back at another time."

Come out from Baozhilin.

Seeing that it was still early, Bai Shu didn't go back to the theater immediately, but started walking around the city.

On both sides of the street, there are beggars, monkey-players, fortune-tellers, Chinese people with long braids in robes and gowns, and blond foreigners in suits and leather shoes.

There are traditional erhu opera and Christian chanting in my ears.

Feeling this picture of life in the late Qing Dynasty, Baizhu secretly regretted that this was a soul-piercing experience, otherwise he would have taken a photo and posted it on WeChat Moments.

He stopped and walked curiously along the way, and just like that, he waited in the city until noon before rushing back to the theater.

From afar, Bai Shu could see the troupe owner pacing back and forth at the gate.

"Liang Kuan, you are back."

After seeing Bai Shu's figure, the boss looked relieved.

"Ok?"

Seeing the boss's expression, Bai Shu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and said, "Boss, didn't you say that you want to settle the salary with me for the past six months? Where is the money?"

The boss shook his head when he heard the words: "Liang Kuan, if I hadn't brought you back from the street, you would have been thrown to the mass grave to feed the dogs by now. Do you think it's enough for me to work for half a year?"

"Boss, what do you mean?"

Bai Shu asked with a frown.

The boss said: "Liang Kuan, I know you have tricks. After a while, people from the Shahe Gang will come to collect protection money. Just help me defend against them, and we'll settle the matter!"

"what!"

Hearing the boss's words, Bai Shu's expression changed.

He thought that after he became Liang Kuan, these plots would not be triggered, but he didn't expect to avoid it.

While Bai Shu was in a daze, he happened to see the boss of the Shahe Gang appearing from a distance, and quickly closed the fence of the theater.

Noticing the boss's movements, Baizhu turned around subconsciously and saw dozens of people approaching from the other end of the bridge.

The leader was a fleshy man in a brown suit chewing sugarcane.

"You are Liang Kuan?"

When he came to Bai Shu, the man in brown spit the sugar cane in his mouth on Bai Shu and asked.

Looking at the man in brown, Bai Shu knew that he was the leader of the Shahe gang, and almost all of the series of plots in Huang Feihong's world were caused by him.

"If I kill him now, will it be much more stable in the future?"

Knowing that the person in front of him is doing all kinds of evil, Bai Shu couldn't help but think of this idea.

But then he gave up this idea. After all, the head of the Shahe Gang hasn't done those things so far. If he killed him himself, he would be wanted by the government, so it would be impossible to worship Huang Feihong as his teacher.

Seeing that Bai Shu "ignored" him, the head of the Shahe Gang was furious, and stretched out his hand to push Bai Shu, saying, "Boy, you are crazy. I heard from the owner of the theater that you want to compete with me?"

Pushed by the head of the Shahe gang, Bai Shu finally recovered his senses, he glanced at the other party, and then—turned around and ran away.

When Bai Shu ran away, everyone in the Shahe Gang was stunned, after all, they hadn't done anything yet.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you, but they are stunned in place.

"Boss, what should we... do?"

Someone asked the leader of Shahe Gang.

"How to do it?"

The head of the Shahe Gang hit the opponent hard with sugarcane, and said angrily: "What else to do, of course it is to chase!"
