Chapter 118: Serving
(T/L NOTE: Everyone thank the buyers of {240+} chapters, that you got to read these bonus chapters!)
A month ago, in a small border town.
An unkempt, sloppy-looking old man was fiddling with the objects at hand as usual. Various kinds of wood were scattered on the ground at his feet, making the place look very messy.
But the strange thing is that there were so many people around the old man, but no one tried to help him tidy up. Some even tiptoed past him, as if they were afraid of disturbing anything.
Perhaps it was because the old man looked too ordinary. He had lived in this small town for almost a year. The people in the town and even the county magistrate did not know that the old man was the famous Mr. Zeng Mohuai. They just thought he was an ordinary carpenter. Seeing that he had good skills, they often brought some broken farm tools here to be repaired.
The group of apprentices led by the old man had good skills. It was basically not the old man’s turn to repair the farm tools, but they were all repaired by his apprentices.
Perhaps because they are good at different things and have different inclinations, Zeng Mohuai’s students are not like the students of the Grand Tutor and Lord Cen, who wear long Confucian robes. Instead, they are dressed in shorts. In addition, they follow their teacher around all year round, so their skin is tanned and a little rough and dark. At first glance, they look more like ordinary apprentices.
The old man kept moving his hands, and soon those wooden lumps of various shapes fit together and gradually became a whole, forming the shape of a bird.
After the pieces were put together, the old man didn’t know where he touched, and the bird’s wings flapped a few times, and it flew up as if it came alive.
