Chapter 20 Divination of the future
After a day of rest, his health improved slightly, and Li Feng began to be busy with business again. He arranges his work to the fullest, leaving no gaps. By the time I went to bed at night, I was exhausted and fell asleep without thinking.
On weekdays, I don't talk much with Zhao Jincai and his wife, except for business reports. And Zhao Jincai and his wife are not as enthusiastic and caring as before because of their daughter.
During this period, Zhao Yingdi went home once, and when they met, Li Feng just wanted to speak, but she turned around and went upstairs, and the meal was also sent by Shen Suzhen. When Li Feng entered the door at night, Zhao Yingdi was no longer at home and went to her sister's house.
A few days later, Zhao Yingdi came over, picking and choosing Li Feng's work, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, he really had no choice but to hide outside.
Li Feng lives in an incomparably empty space, this shop used to be his second home, but now it is just an inn that doesn't need money. Without that warmth and intimacy, he was busy working every day, and he didn't know how to get tired, but in the final analysis, he didn't know why he did it.
Li Feng doesn't feel that he is wrong, Qian Liman has played with him since he was a child, and he can be described as childhood sweethearts, and it is normal for them to like each other.
And I like Zhao Yingdi very much, but I don't look at a mountain high, when I was with Zhao Yingdi, I didn't have anything to do with Qian Liman, this is not a betrayal, why do they blame.
I work in this shop, and I never retreat from what I should bear, but because of this, I turned myself away thousands of miles away. A voice in his heart was shouting: Death must also die to understand, why do you want to do this to me.
It is already March, and the wind blowing on the Huangpu River is not as harsh as before, and the willow trees are sprouting and pulling leaves. Pedestrians on the road took off their heavy cotton jackets and put on beautiful and fashionable spring clothes, only Li Feng, who was running around all day long, was still wearing the thick cotton clothes.
One day, when Li Feng came back from delivering the goods, he saw a fortune-telling stall, and an old man in a black robe was sitting behind the stall. He couldn't help but think of Zhao Jincai's jokes about fortune tellers in the past, and a warmth rippled in his heart. When I passed by this stall, I had a whim, or I would do the math myself. The thought felt ridiculous again, but the footsteps stopped.
The old man saw Li Feng standing in front of the stall and asked, "Little Housheng, come and sit, are you counting marriage or future?" When Li Feng heard this, he sat down as if he had been summoned and said, "Count it all." ”
The old man said, "Report your own birth date and the woman's birth date." Li Feng was stunned and said: "My parents didn't tell me about my birthday, and they didn't know. ”
The old man pondered for a while and said, "Then it's not easy to calculate. Why don't I show you your face, sit up straight with your head slightly raised. Li Feng did what he said. I saw the old man staring at him, his eyes slowly narrowing, and his fingers tapping on the table from time to time in an unheard-of rhythm.
Suddenly, a look of surprise appeared on the old man's face, and he turned solemn, and his squinted eyes opened suddenly, and his gaze was breathtaking. He said, "Your Excellency's peculiar face is rare. Marriage does not need to be forced, just be at peace with what you want, and it will be as you wish. The future is unfathomable, and my ability is limited, I can only see that you can become a pillar of the country, as for what you can achieve in the future, I can't really predict. ”
Li Feng smiled secretly, he can become a pillar of the country as a hairy boy, he is too exalted to himself, he should just listen to it, and there is no need to be serious. But seeing that the old man's face was very solemn, and he didn't mean to joke at all, his heart suddenly beat violently. He even took a few deep breaths to adjust, but it didn't work, and he even gasped for breath.
Seeing that his face was different, the old man grabbed his left hand and pressed it against the root of his wrist. Li Feng felt a chill coming from his wrist, along his arm to his heart. My heart began to slow down, and my breathing calmed down.
The old man said, "Your Excellency is currently in a state of flux, trapped by love, and thinks that you are rootless duckweed. Remember, those who accomplish great things should not be rash and should not be trapped by their children's personal affairs. When witty and agile, you can bend and stretch. When there is an appropriate time, you should be self-reliant and self-reliant, and you should not be left under the fence for a long time. The Huangpu River is water, and Xuanwu belongs to water, so if you want to gain a firm foothold in Shanghai, you must be as flexible as a snake to get rich, and you must bear the burden like a turtle. That's all for today, and I hope you can keep it in mind. ”
Li Feng was skeptical, but still wrote down these words. He took out the money to pay for it, but the old man refused, saying, "I have a fate with you today, so I don't need to do this." Li Feng secretly felt strange.
Since then, he is no longer entangled in the deep pool of feelings, and his mentality has been balanced.
One night running along the river, Li Feng saw a familiar figure, stopped and patted the man on the shoulder. The man turned around, and sure enough, it was Zhou Peng. Zhou Peng saw that it was Li Feng, and like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, he dragged him to his base - the dock warehouse.
Zhou Peng took out a bottle of wine and a handful of fried soybeans, Li Feng felt funny, he could still eat peanuts last time, but this time he ate soybeans, it is really an old lady New Year, a year is not as good as a year. Looking at Zhou Peng's beard and scum, his hair had been unfinished for a long time, and a smell of falling souls came to his face. I couldn't help but sigh. Zhou Peng saw that he didn't speak, so he had to take the initiative to tell him about the recent situation.
It turned out that since the beginning of the year, the Axe Gang has been eyeing Zhou Peng's dock and threatening to swallow the dock. He was powerless to resist, but he was not willing to be caught. So he secretly recruited manpower and expanded the scale, not to mention whether the combat effectiveness was strong or not, the shelf was not small. It just so happened that the Axe Gang grabbed territory with other places, and a fire broke out, killing and injuring many people, and they were temporarily unable to attack. But it would not stop there, and secretly sent people to do evil.
Once, the gangplank between the dock and the steamer somehow broke in two, and a dockman who was on the gangplank fell into the river with the goods on his back. Fortunately, the man had better water skills, and the man came up, but the goods were washed away by the river. Zhou Peng coordinated with the merchants for a long time, and begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother so that he would not be able to accompany the goods.
Afterwards, Zhou Peng carefully inspected the springboard, only to see that the wood canine teeth disconnected from the front of the springboard were staggered, but the disconnection on the back was very neat and smooth, and it was obvious that someone had done something. When the gangplank is used, the front side is not visible at all, and when the dock worker steps on the heavy load, it breaks in two.
Another time, a fire suddenly broke out in a secluded corner of the warehouse, and someone happened to find it when they went to the convenience, and hurriedly called someone to put out the fire, so as not to cause major losses. During this time, Zhou Peng strengthened inspections, especially at night, and personally led the team. After a period of work, they were stripped of people.
After listening to his story, Li Feng said: "Big brother, it seems that you are a tiger falling into Pingyang!" Zhou Peng smiled bitterly and said: "Where am I a tiger, I am clearly a leper dog." By the way, how did the plan you said last time go? ”
