Chapter 20, The Middleman
I didn't expect this scene. Before I could figure out what was going on, why did the old man feel so scared after touching his hand. I stood there awkwardly and at a loss. Looking at Yan Fengru in front of me, there were two large red rhymes on his old face, obviously because of the shock just now.
"Master Yan, you, are you okay..."
As soon as I finished asking, I heard Yan Kai shouting to the outside: "Li Feng, come in."
Li Feng pushed the door and entered in. When he saw the scene in front of him, he felt a little strange. However, he did not ask in detail and bowed respectfully to Yan Fengru.
"This child has not yet performed the ceremony of apprenticeship, but he is indeed very talented. Please remember it in our junction. Please take him for a while and let him know after you are ready for a few important things to be a teacher."
Yan Fengru's words were a bit stupid, which made Li Feng stunned. However, Yan Kai's high-level football player did not dare to disobey his master's orders, and claimed that he then pulled me out of the black gate and retreated.
The master of being a disciple was not successful, but he scared the master he was going to worship. Even if such a thing was placed in the entire supernatural circle, it would be a big joke, but I didn't dare to say it, so Yan Kai naturally wouldn't say it.
After leaving the Xipailou, Li Saner and I were taken to his residence by Li Feng. Originally, I thought Li Feng was a person who had been in the circle for ten years. Those with famous and capable should naturally live well. It was no problem to build a big house on the Second Ring Road in Beijing. As a result, when I arrived at his residence, I realized that this guy had no money. The house was in a small courtyard on the North Fifth Ring Road. There was only a TV and a trip to old furniture at home. The refrigerator was still a 1980s.
"You stay here first, I'll get you some food."
Li Feng greeted us and walked out on his own. I put down my schoolbag. Looking back, I saw Li Saner standing outside the door smoking. He rarely spoke after his second uncle died. In fact, he was a very chatty person on weekdays, but he has been particularly silent since such a tragedy occurred in Lishunde.
"The Third Master."
I called him, and he turned around and waved to me. After I walked over, he grabbed my hand and whispered: "Lin'er, there are some words that Li Feng is not convenient for me to tell you. You, the road ahead will be difficult to walk, this world is cruel, but no matter how dark the world is, I don't want you to go on the wrong path."
At that time, I looked up at Li Saner in a daze, and Li Saner reached out and touched my face. When the rough hands brushed across my face, I felt a little pain.
"You are still young, and the road ahead is still long. Your second uncle died. It was killed by the Snake Master and Rong Guohua. I know you want to take revenge. However, after listening to your third uncle's advice, you cannot have the heart to take revenge. I have seen many people who finally trap themselves in because they want to take revenge. They use any means to take revenge and go on the wrong path and end up unable to turn back. I don't want you to become like that. Although you may never grow up like an ordinary child again, I hope you can at least keep a kind heart and be a man who stands upright and upright. Can you agree to me?"
I just nodded silently. Many people think that children are heartless, and many people think that children will definitely not hold grudges, which only means that they don’t understand children.
From the moment my second uncle fell, the two men, Snake Ye and Rong Guohua, had left a deep mark in my heart. One day, I will definitely kill these two men!
Li Feng brought some lunch boxes back. After lunch, Li Feng said to me: "I will take you to see my middleman in the afternoon. The master asked you to follow me, so I will naturally let you learn more."
The so-called intermediary is the bond between the fate master and ordinary people. Most of the jobs of the fate master are not recruited by themselves, but are helped by the middlemen. The middlemen take a commission from the reward. Li Feng's middlemen are called Sun Dong, a native of Beijing, who is ten years older than Li Feng.
In the afternoon, I followed Li Feng to meet Sun Dong. It was a small grocery store within the Third Ring Road, selling some things like food, rice, oil and salt. When I got off the car, I saw a fat man wearing glasses sitting behind the counter reading a book, with a buzz cut and a long-sleeved T-shirt. It was estimated that it was more than 180 pounds.
"Dongzi!"
Li Feng shouted, and the fat man raised his head and smiled when he saw Li Feng, waved his hand to greet us and walked over.
After entering the grocery store, he threw a bottle of Coke to me and Li Feng, then pointed at me and asked, "Is this the child you brought back to Beijing?"
Li Feng smiled slightly, and said while drinking Coke: "You guy is well-informed, well, this kid was brought back to Beijing. It is called Wanlin."
Sun Dong looked at me with his little eyes and said, "I'm on the phone with you in front. I have two jobs, one is going to Chengdu and the other is in Beijing. Chengdu is probably related to zombies, so I advise you not to answer. You also know that the corpse-driven sects in Sichuan are very xenophobic. If you go there and get a trick, you can't guarantee that they will not make things difficult for you. But the job in Beijing is a bit strange. I'll tell you, and you can listen first."
After hearing this, Li Feng nodded slightly and pulled me to sit down. Sun Dong directly closed the door of the grocery store, hung a sign that was suspended, and then handed over a photo.
The photo shows a woman with long hair, about forty years old. Although she is half-body, she still looks thin, but she is just long but not too ugly. She is sarcastic about the island.
Sun Dong lit a cigarette and said, "This woman is named Li Yaqin. She is 41 years old this year. She is a female canteen worker in a steel factory in Beijing. She visited relatives at Dongzhimen three days ago. But after she came back, something strange happened. First, she heard all kinds of voices at night, as if someone was having a meeting in her ear, making her sleep hard all night. Then there was a strange pattern on her body, just like someone was drawing on her body with a brush, one after another. Of course, if only these changes were just a ghost, or if she bumped into something unclean, you didn't need to take action. However, the following thing is the reason why your connection master, the turn, took action. On the fifth day after her other incidents, her fate was stolen!"
As soon as these words came out, even I was shocked. Li Feng frowned and whispered: "Has my fate been stolen? You should know that if it was done by the fate masters of several other meridians, I would not take action. There was an agreement between our four meridians."
It was this agreement again. When I heard Li Feng’s words, I couldn’t help but feel disgusted. I looked up at him, but Sun Dong shook his head and said, “I have also been dealing with your life master for so many years. I can still see the techniques of your four meridians. This time, Li Yaqin’s fate is definitely the work of your life master, and she looks like a novice.”
Li Feng was stunned, frowned strangely and asked, "How do you say this?"
Sun Dong spitted out a mouthful of green smoke and replied: "If it is an old man like you who takes the fate, even if he takes the fate of a living person, he must first knock out or hypnotize the other person, and then soothe his soul, and then take the fate. But this time the guy who took the action was very barbaric. Sun Yaqin's soul was severely damaged, and he is still in a coma in the hospital. If it weren't for her husband's belief in metaphysics and his old classmate, I'm afraid I don't know about this. If you don't choose a person's fate, without changing his name, soothe the soul, but it's not appropriate. Do you think it's done by a novice?"
After hearing this, Li Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "This is interesting. I also want to bring Wan Lin to familiarize himself with our circle of fate masters. I have taken this job and get the results according to the convention. Give me the detailed information of the other party, and I will go and see this woman first."
While nodding, Sun Dong took out a pack of documents from the drawer under the counter and handed them to Li Feng's hand, he whispered: "I've heard the news in the circle."
Li Feng was stunned, approached Sun Donghou and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Do you know why your master asked you to go out and look for a strange boy this time?"
Sun Dong asked Li Feng this question. Li Feng had told us before that he didn't know Yan Kai's purpose, so he had to shake his head.
"You don't know!" Sun Dong's expression looked surprised, and he said after a moment: "Okay, then I'll tell you that your master will select the seedlings of the great master for your connections!"
