Red Bean Raw Nanguo

The first ray of sunshine in the morning is warm, and countless tenderness and sweetness penetrate into the heart.Tao stretched, sat up naked from the bed, walked to the window sill with bare feet, pulled the curtains, the sun hit his 17-year-old face like a bolt of lightning, he rubbed his eyes, cursed in his heart, and went straight to the window. When he walked into the bathroom, washed his face and brushed his teeth, he always had to turn his head to see if the scar on the back of his neck was getting better. It felt like a piece of dry sawdust to the touch, but it still hurt a little.

His face is full of coldness and slyness that is not commensurate with his 17-year-old age; sly?Yes, he often laughs at himself in his heart like this, calm and calm when things happen, even though he is often stupid in front of his master, he is willing.The master is the benchmark in his life, he only has the master in his eyes, and he only thinks about the master.

He didn't know how to treat his master well. The master adopted him and recognized him as a godson. In this life, he vowed to be a cow and a horse to repay the great kindness that the master has shown him.And he has been doing this all these years, obeying his master's words and never leaving him.

"Tao Tao, I'm still dawdling. I'm going to Xin's Temple, and you go to the factory to help Yulin." The master hurried out after finishing speaking.

The master's surname is Liu. I heard that his ancestor was the leader of the official kilns in Chang'an City in the Western Han Dynasty.It is said that it is a bit of a relationship, but it is a distant relative. The master usually does not show off his personal worth according to this.That is to say, many antique collectors are afraid that their priceless treasures will be stolen, so they ask someone to imitate the original and put it on display, just to deceive people.

Although it is an imitation of ancient times, but to imitate it so that it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity, you have to have some real skills.The master is famous for imitating antiques in the city of Xi'an. No matter what dynasty or generation of porcelain, as long as he "consults", it is like a folk doctor who can clone exactly the same porcelain in less than half a month. .For this reason, many wealthy people in Xi'an City like to make friends with him. In addition to begging for an imitation, many of them also invite him to appraise treasures. Naturally, the favor fee is not a small amount.There are too many people looking for, and the master is a bit too busy alone. He has four apprentices under his command, and he lets his apprentices do small jobs. He doesn't know how to do it, and only tens of thousands of people can get started and personally check it.

Tao is the most special one among the master's four apprentices. The reason why he is special is that one of them, Tao is dumb, neither can speak, nor can he bark like other mutes.Tao’s way of communicating with people is to listen with his ears and see with his eyes, plus writing and body language. He can remember very clearly what the master has explained to him once. A child who is [-] years old, with less than two years of actual contact time, can reach this level far beyond ordinary people.For this reason, the master finally got him from a handyman to his side, as if he was his right-hand man.

Generally, people with some physical disabilities are very talented in other places.When Tao was 15 years old, his master hired a tutor for him to teach Tao to read and write; Tao couldn't speak, but if he could read and write, he would be even more powerful.Because the master now has only one daughter who is in high school, named Xiaofeng, who is eighteen years old and is beautiful. In the end, I had to import a high-end hearing aid from abroad and wear it every day.

When Tao was 16 years old, his master recognized him as his godson. Because the master had no children, he wanted to pass on his ancestral craftsmanship to him. In addition, Tao was quick-witted and loyal to his master. The master liked him from the bottom of his heart. He even wanted to betroth his precious daughter to him. Such an arrangement is naturally wishful thinking of the master. No one can guess what Tao is thinking, and it is really hard to predict whether Xiaofeng will be able to fly out of this dilapidated Chang'an village in the future. Feng was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, with a bad temper. Her mother ran away with a wealthy antique dealer five years ago, and it is said that she went to Canada.For Xiaofeng's sake, fearing that she would have trouble getting along with her stepmother, the master never remarried. He became a loner in his early [-]s, bored, and occasionally went to nightclubs with friends.

The master is Tao who met at the entrance of the nightclub in the bustling district of Xi'an. That night he came out of the nightclub laughing and talking with his friends after venting his anger. The cold winter wind hit him in the face.He looked around, and the bleak night scene of the city jumped into his eyes again. He naturally wrapped his open mink fur coat tightly, and his eyes inadvertently saw a "statue" standing under the eaves. In front of her chest, her thin body was motionless, and there was something watery shining in her eyes.

The master felt very curious, and approached to take a closer look, only to see that it was actually a living person.Twelve or thirteen years old, with fine features and well-proportioned figure, but a little thinner, wearing only a pair of Jiefang shoes with holes on his feet.

"Which family are you from? Why don't you go home so late? Waiting for someone?" He took out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it to him, "Go and buy some warmer clothes, it's so cold." The child remained motionless and didn't answer it.

At this time, the male security guard who escorted them out came over and explained to the master with a smile, "He is dumb and can't speak. Please don't annoy him, sir. This child is hard-boned and never accepts our care. At the beginning we also I thought he was begging for food, but later I realized that he was collecting waste after the nightclub closed, because his hands and feet were clean, people here treated him like a little brother, and left him all the old paper shells of Coke bottles on weekdays.”

Just as he was talking, a girl in overalls came out from the side door, handed him a large bag of empty plastic bottles and a stack of newspapers, and said distressedly, "Tao Tao, go back early today." The boy nodded his thanks, He took the bag, looked up at the master, and walked south with the things on his shoulders.

"His name is Tao Tao?" Watching the child's back gradually walk away, the master asked casually, "Where does he live?"

"It seems to be living with those street children. I saw him in the underground passage of the train station a few days ago." The waitress went into the room after she finished speaking.

"It's a hard life." The master sighed, and the boy's stubborn and dignified face flashed in front of his eyes. It really looked like a pottery warrior who came out of the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit. It was hard to let go.
