An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

"I've never met my father."

Xu Fu's tone was calm, just like Shi Jiu'an before.

"Your father... passed away?" Shi Jiu'an was slightly startled and asked apologetically. She didn't expect that her words would hit someone's pain point.

"I don't know either." Xu Fu showed a wry smile, which evoked some memories in him.

Xu Fu remembered that when he was a child, Huang Dafu often scolded him as a "bastard without a father and a mother." He had nothing to say and was very aggrieved. He asked his grandma several times, but every time he asked, his grandma shed tears. Later, Xu Fu I didn’t dare to ask anymore. He remembered that his grandma said that his parents were just on a far journey and would come back sooner or later.

When Xu Fu was a child, he really looked forward to it for several years. He would look out from the village head when nothing happened, but unfortunately he came back disappointed every time.

As he grew up, Xu Fu also guessed that his grandma's "traveling away" might mean something else, and the original resentment in his heart gradually faded away. Today, I heard Shi Jiu'an talk about some conflicts and disputes between her and her father, Xu Fu felt very envious in his heart, which reminded him of his parents whom he had never met. He found that from the bottom of his heart he was still looking forward to the return of the two of them, even though until now, he preferred to believe that they were just traveling away from home.

Should be back!

Shi Jiu'an thought about the meaning of "I don't know" for a while, and felt more and more that his complaint just now was a bit excessive.

"Then your mother must be working very hard!" Shi Jiu'an sighed. She often went out for a walk on weekdays, and she also knew how difficult it would be for ordinary people to have only one woman to support their family.

"I haven't seen her either," Xu Fu said lightly.

"I'm sorry, I really... didn't know you were like this, I..." Shi Jiu'an was shocked when she heard this, and she, who had always been quick-thinking, was also a little incoherent.

"It's okay, I grew up with my grandma." Xu Fu's tone was calm. He knew that Shi Jiu'an just mentioned it carelessly. In fact, he had already been able to treat these things calmly.

"Then your...grandma, now..." Shi Jiu'an asked very carefully this time.

"She has passed away."

When Xu Fu talked about his grandmother, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. In this world, no one can replace his grandmother's place in his heart. His grandmother's words were once the biggest motivation for him to live.

The expression on Shi Jiu'an's face froze.

"I really didn't know that was the case! I just don't know how to be blessed when I'm in the midst of blessings. I really should tear this foul mouth apart!"

Shi Jiu'an blamed herself very much. Her previous sentence "I envy you" now seemed like a joke. How could such a life be enviable? She had also seen many people in desolate condition, but this was the first time she heard about Xu Fu being so miserable at such a young age. She was filled with sadness at this time, and the look on her face was very sad.

"If it's okay, I'll leave first." Seeing that Shi Jiu'an was no longer speaking, Xu Fu stood up from his chair and said goodbye to Shi Jiu'an.

"Wait a minute." Shi Jiu'an hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, "I...I..."

Shi Jiu'an knew that his words just now had hurt Xu Fu, and he wanted to say or do something to make Xu Fu feel better, but thinking about Xu Fu's status as a servant, even if he was given something good, he might not be able to keep it. It might even bring disaster to him. Thinking of this, Shi Jiu'an lost his mind and was speechless.

"Is there anything else?" Xu Fu asked. He didn't understand what the young lady was thinking.

"Although I'm not as... um... as you are, I'm also a poor guy who can't even choose a husband. We can be regarded as 'the same people in the world'!" Shi Jiu'an stood up and said seriously.

"Okay, do you need me to do anything else?" Xu Fu still didn't understand what Shi Jiu'an wanted to say.

"I'm not asking you to do anything. It's me. I want to help you." Shi Jiu'an hesitated for a moment, but finally said it.

"No, thank you for your kindness, Miss!" Xu Fu knew that the other party just sympathized with him. He didn't want to waste any more time here, so he politely refused.

"We are all 'degraded people', so why are you so polite? But I don't have any money here. Even if I give you those jewelry, I'm afraid it won't be easy to sell them. You can't even use the magic weapon. What can I give you?" Shi Jiu'an rubbed his forehead as he spoke, looking very troubled.

"You have the ability to find me the Earth Spirit Treasure!" Xu Fu shouted in his heart.

"Yes, I'll teach you some boxing techniques. If you practice hard, you might be able to become a nurse in the future!" Shi Jiu'an's eyes lit up when he thought of this, and the expression on his face changed quickly, and the original depressed mood was swept away. Kong, without waiting for Xu Fu to agree, quickly came to Xu Fu and made a hand gesture.

"How can I have time to learn boxing from you!" Xu Fu roared in his heart. If he were an ordinary servant, and the eldest lady taught him boxing in person, it would be a blessing from three generations of cultivation. But Xu Fu is already an eighth-level master. Although I haven't learned any serious moves, but with Wanxiang Gong as the foundation, I can't see ordinary boxing skills.

If he refused forcefully at this time, Xu Fu couldn't think of any good reason. In desperation, he had no choice but to watch the eldest lady explain the moves one by one under the moon.

As Xu Fu expected, he knew after just two glances that Shi Jiu'an was using a very crude set of boxing techniques. The boxing movements were simple and rarely changed, so it was easy to learn.

Thinking that if he learned it quickly, Shi Jiu'an would let him go, Xu Fu also remembered it carefully.

In this way, Shi Jiu'an only taught him twice, and Xu Fu was able to play in a decent manner.

Shi Jiu'an looked very pleased. He didn't expect that this servant had good qualifications and could learn boxing so quickly. Thinking of Xu Fu's miserable life experience, Shi Jiu'an sighed secretly in his heart. If he could be born into a wealthy family, he would definitely become a powerful boxer!

"Miss, I really learned it." Xu Fu hurriedly said to the eldest lady after he hit the punches taught by Shi Jiu'an accurately.

"I have almost learned these moves, but they are just a show. Without the mental skills, I cannot exert the power of the Dragon and Tiger Fist! This Dragon and Tiger Fist was created by our ancestors of the Shi family. It is most suitable for newcomers to practice. Everyone in our family Children should start learning when they are four years old. Even though his moves are simple, the longer you practice, the more you will feel the beauty of this boxing technique. Listen carefully..."

Seeing the dull look on Xu Fu's face, Shi Jiu'an was afraid that Xu Fu would underestimate the Dragon Tiger Fist, so he gave special instructions before starting to teach the techniques of the Dragon Tiger Fist.

As a person who has practiced Tongtian Jue, Xu Fu's Dragon and Tiger Fist technique is simply a child's play to him. He only knows how to practice it after listening to it once.

But since he had to pretend, he naturally had to pretend to be a little bit like him. Xu Fu had to act like a newcomer and asked Shi Jiu'an for many words that a servant should not know. Even those seemingly simple ones, Xu Fu kept asking questions. , I originally wanted to make Shi Jiu'an feel bored and drive him away after a while, but I didn't expect that this eldest lady showed amazing patience and didn't even show a trace of boredom on her face.

Xu Fu, who originally wanted to end it quickly, found out that his cleverness had backfired.

It wasn't until the moon set in the west and the morning fog began to appear that the lecture came to an end.

Shi Jiu'an breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Fu with a very satisfied smile. She hadn't slept all night, but her face didn't look tired at all, and her eyes were still bright and energetic.

Xu Fu also breathed a sigh of relief, sighing in his heart that this night was wasted.

"You are very talented. Maybe you will become a powerful boxer in the future!" Shi Jiu'an praised, then playfully pulled the cloth on Xu Fu's face and said with a smile: "You are really a little bit shy when you cover your face." The style of a peerless master."

"Thank you, Miss, for teaching me boxing!" Xu Fu bowed respectfully to Shi Jiu'an.

"Thank you too. It's been a long time since anyone stayed with me for so long."

Shi Jiu'an looked at Xu Fu, the smile on his face gradually faded, and sighed: "It's a pity that I'm getting married, otherwise I can teach you a few more tricks."

"The villain's qualifications are limited. These are enough for the villain to practice for ten or eight years." Xu Fu said quickly.

"What are the limited qualifications? With the guidance of me, Shi Jiu'an, I can teach you to become Optimus Prime even if it's just a piece of wood!" Shi Jiu'an said proudly, and he really had the aura of a master from this world.

"The eldest lady is right!" Xu Fu hurriedly agreed, but secretly cursed in his heart, the day is almost dawn, are you still finished?

"Tell the truth, are you willing to let me teach you?" Shi Jiu'an stared at Xu Fu's eyes, with a somewhat suspicious look on his face. Xu Fu acted too calmly from beginning to end, which made Shi Jiu'an not sure. What's going on in my mind.

"I... Of course I am willing. Who in the entire Shi Mansion would not be willing? Isn't that a fool?" Xu Fu was so stared at by Shi Jiu'an that he hesitated for a moment and said against his will.

"Really?"

"Really!" Xu Fu said very firmly, but in his heart he was hoping that the young lady would let him go quickly.

"Then you come here every day from now on, and I will teach you how to box."

As soon as Shi Jiu'an said these words, Xu Fu was startled. He thought to himself: How can this eldest lady be such a good teacher? He quickly declined and said: "Absolutely not, this will miss the eldest lady's rest, and the villain will deserve to die!"

"It's okay, I can sleep during the day! Where do you work? I'll tell your supervisor and ask him to stop arranging work for you. You can also rest during the day. Don't worry, I'll teach you how to do it in seven days. You have to train hard for seven years like others!”

Shi Jiu'an spoke with great pride, but Xu Fu was extremely anxious. What should he do?

Shi Jiu'an was very satisfied when he learned that Xu Fu was allowed to stay in the guest room by the second housekeeper because he had spots on his face and did not have to work. After this night of training, the tightness in her chest had dissipated a lot. Before Xu Fu could say anything else, she turned around and walked out of the school grounds.

"Disciple, you should go back and rest early. Don't forget to come tomorrow!" Shi Jiu'an yawned as he spoke, and soon disappeared, leaving Xu Fu alone standing there in a daze.

"When did I become your disciple?" Xu Fu couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. The tempers of these young ladies from aristocratic families are not easy to figure out. But compared to the eldest lady of the Ji family that he knew before, this Shi Jiu'an is already considered good!

Back in the guest room, Xu Fu was not sleepy at all, lying on the bed in a daze, thinking about how to deal with Shi Jiu'an.

After thinking for a long time, I didn't have any idea, so I had to get up and go out, preparing to go to the kitchen to fill my stomach.

When Shi Zhu saw Xu Fu, he immediately came up to him with an apologetic smile. He was also anxious all night. In the end, the second housekeeper did not come to "examine the crime." This made Shi Zhu conclude that Shi Niu must have said good things. At this time, he met again When I saw my "benefactor", my gratitude was beyond words, and I wanted to worship Xu Fu as if he were my ancestor.

Xu Fu still had no good impression of Shi Zhu and just responded coldly.

After learning that Xu Fu was here for dinner, Shi Zhu immediately ordered several chefs to prepare dishes for Xu Fu.

"No, just try the dishes." Xu Fu declined.

Shi Zhu was afraid that Xu Fu would be disgusted by being too polite, so he immediately asked people to bring the tasting dishes to the table.

Xu Fu came a little early today, and at least half of the dishes were not ready yet.

Xu Fu was not in a hurry. While eating slowly, he asked about the name of the dish, the ingredients of the dish, which chef made it, which master it was given to, etc.

Shizhu naturally tells everything he knows and talks endlessly.

By the time Xu Fu wiped the oil off his mouth and left the kitchen, he was sure that there was indeed something wrong with some of the dishes. Although the dishes have changed, the medicinal materials mixed with them have not changed.

Naturally, Xu Fu wouldn't point it out. He was just a servant now, and no one would believe him even if he told her. Moreover, if the second wife could think of using this method to get to the top, she would definitely have a backup plan. It would be bad to scare the snake away.

"Should I tell Shi Jiu'an?" Xu Fu thought to himself, after all, this eldest lady is also her biological mother. If she is eager to save her mother, will she have no time to deal with him?

Xu Fu walked around while thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, but there was still no movement from the four spiritual treasures.

"Are you here or not?"

Xu Fu returned to the guest room with some frustration. Except for a few places where servants couldn't enter, he looked around the entire Shi Mansion, but there was still no obvious reaction from the four spiritual treasures.

When Xu Fu entered the guest room, he was about to open the door when he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure coming from inside the room.

Xu Fu was startled, and his spiritual energy gathered in his eyes. Through the door, he saw an old man sitting on a chair in the room, closing his eyes to rest.

The man's beard and hair were pale, his old face was wrinkled, and he was so tall that it was unforgettable.

The former head of the Shi family, Shi Buhuan.

"Why is he here?" Xu Fu was shocked.

"Now that you're here, why don't you come in?"

Before Xu Fu could think of how to deal with it, Shi Bu Zhuan's voice came from inside the door, and he obviously knew that Xu Fu was back through the sound of footsteps.

Xu Fu opened the door, Shi Buhuan opened his eyes, and the two looked at each other. Xu Fu felt as if someone had stripped him naked all of a sudden, and all the calculations in his heart had been seen through, and he lowered his head in a hurry.

"Little Shi Niu, I have met the old man!"
