Chapter 15 The Wind and Moon in the Mountains

In the morning, Lin Feng got up and ran a few laps, to see that the sky was already shining, so he ran to Lin Dashan's house and looked at the little pigs, yes, those little pigs were placed in the pig house by Lin Dashan, and it happened that Aunt Lin raised a few little pigs.

At this time, the wild nature of the little wild boar is not big, and it does not contradict the domestic pig at home, but when it grows up, it doesn't know what it looks like. Kiss. It's another thing to match that, but it's too early to say that, don't worry about that right now.

After watching Lin Dashan's house for a while, he said to Lin Dashan to go to the city together, Lin Dashan contacted the mountain goods on the one hand, and on the other hand, he met with Lin Feng and Hu San and a few people, although Lin Dashan didn't want to deal with Hu San and others, but Lin Feng looked confident, and Lin Dashan followed him.

Lin Feng went home, the old man also got up, he was making breakfast at this time, and the yard was also swept clean by the old man, the old man was diligent and idle, Lin Feng was at home, and he got up earlier.

Originally, Lin Feng was counting the time to get home, but now it's good, the old man has gotten up. So Lin Feng stepped forward, and the old man also helped, one old and one young cooked, no way, two men, old and young. It's just a matter of size, generally the old man does a lot, in a word, busy with you, just learn well, and because he watched Lin Feng eat the food he cooked, his heart was comfortable. That's a kind of spiritual comfort, that is, the average adult sees that a child is full of food.

But Lin Feng knew that it was a kind of love that the old man had for him.

After the meal, Lin Dashan had already brought some mountain goods, the old man went to play with his old friend, and Heifeng also went to the mountains to hunt wild things by himself, so far the family was busy with their own work.

Lin Feng and Lin Dashan entered the city, and Lin Dashan first went to his old customers to sell the mountain goods he brought. Everything went well, when Lin Dashan got everything right, Lin Feng took him to see Hu San, all the way to Hu San's market with the mountain goods left in advance, Lin Feng saw that Hu San was cutting meat with his head down, and he didn't notice Lin Feng, Lin Feng ignored him, and waited until he was not too busy, Lin Feng smiled and said, boss, how to sell meat? How much is a pound?

Hu San didn't say too much when he heard this, "Fifteen yuan a catty," and the voice of the last Jue was a little familiar, so he raised his head and looked, Oh, Brother Lin, you are here.

This guy threw the meat in his hand and jumped out, and said, "Brother, why did you come, do you have a phone number to call you, I thought you disappeared and went to school, and in the past two days, I have been thinking about this and going to your house to find you, but fortunately, you finally came." Hu San's face was exaggerated with enthusiasm.

Lin Feng smiled and said, isn't this coming?

Hu Sandao, okay, Zhang Ping'an's kid remembered that you didn't come, and he was nagging in my ear all day long, and my head was dizzy.

Lin Fengqi said, what does that kid do if he has nothing to do with me?

Hu Sandao, it's not the little pig we talked about that day, that guy is obsessed.

Lin Feng thought about it, that Zhang Ping'an was also a talent, with such a good opportunity, it was strange that he didn't seize it! This kid is really a master who can seize the opportunity, such a person, but there are very few, Hu San is not as good as him.

At this time, Hu San saw Lin Dashan, and suddenly his face was like a red cloth, and he said in the most renuo way, that Lin, Uncle Lin, you are here, I was not a person last time, I can't help you. Don't be surprised, your boss has a lot of them. Don't be like me.

Lin Feng looked at it on the side and wanted to laugh, this Hu San, I can't see that he is also a person who knows his face!

Lin Dashan was stunned for a moment and said, "Little things, little things, I forgot about them." ”

The heart said that you kid is like this, what else can I say, Lao Tzu is not as knowledgeable as you bastard, but looking at this kid's cautious look, his anger will disappear. Hudi is happy again, this kid used to be proud, but now he is respectful, he is really a heaven and an earth, it seems that this person is really only honest under power and fists, and he really should let Xiaofeng beat him.

At the moment, he said, "It's over, forget it, besides, that day is not a big deal, don't put it on yourself." ”

Hu San was overjoyed when he heard this, and he clearly knew that if he didn't serve Lin Dashan well, then everything would be in vain. If that's the case, Lin Feng won't be so good to him, and in today's society, people like Lin Feng are strangers.

When it came, "Uncle Lin, I'm having a treat today, let's find a place to drink." Without waiting for Lin Dashan to speak, he turned his head to a young man. Xiaoliu, you are watching here, I'll go out.

The little six answered, "Brother, go ahead, I'll look at that." ”

Lin Dashan said, "You have a business, business matters." ”

Hu San laughed, Uncle Lin, it's okay, this cousin, I just pulled a strong man today, this kid can't wait to practice.

Lin Dashan smiled and stopped talking, all the way out of the market, Hu San contacted Hu Jun and Zhang Ping'an again, and when the two difficult brothers on the phone heard that Lin Feng was coming, they responded and said that they would be there in a while. Hu Sanding's place is the same place called Zhiweixian, and the three of them went all the way to Zhiweixian, which is not far from the restaurant, and it is nearly 300 meters.

Looks good, of course, in terms of cleanliness. Still top notch. Of course, this is in a small town, and if it is placed in a provincial town, it will be inconspicuous.

When I arrived at the door, Miss Miss had her own service lady leading, and Lin Feng was standing at the door looking at the couplet, only to see the couplet writing [No matter the south, no matter the north, the wine pipe!" And the next link is, "East or West, drink it." The character is Yanti, and it is written vigorously and powerfully.

After reading it, Lin Feng smiled and asked, was this couplet written by your boss?

The little girl who greeted the guest smiled and said, No, I heard that it was someone else.

At this time, a loud voice said, little brother, this couplet is good, right? This is what I asked Mr. Fu to write, this couplet looks really good, it's really right to open a restaurant.

Lin Feng listened to it, "Good, good, but it's really good, the couplets are well written, and the words are also well written!" ”

The fat boss walked up and said, "Little brother, you can also write calligraphy?" ”

His eyes were full of surprise as he spoke. There are not many young people who will do this now, in his opinion, like Lin Feng's age, that is, just talking, and there will be those high-level brush words, the current students are pens and pens, and they can use brushes, which can be said to be some old people, although some schools teach it, but that is just a process!

Lin Feng smiled, "I know a little, I know a little, I know a little, I don't know much, it's just a little bit!"

Seeing Lin Feng say this, the boss smiled, he didn't care, he just thought about this young man, so he didn't think about it.

"Little brother, don't look at it, please inside, please inside."

Several people were led to a private room, a little girl served a pot of tea, and not long after the three of them did, Zhang Ping'an and Hu Jun arrived. The two of them inevitably made another move, these two knew that Lin Dashan was Lin Feng's uncle, and they were extremely affectionate to Lin Dashan.

During the banquet, Hu San asked about the sales of Lin Dashan's mountain goods, Lin Dashan said that it was okay, Hu San said that if it didn't go well, he would find him, he still had a certain channel here, Lin Dashan nodded and said he knew.

Hu San knew that Lin Dashan had an opinion of him, so he didn't say much. Hu Jun didn't know the inner thoughts of the two of them, and said that he must help. Zhang Ping'an was most concerned about the breeding of the little wild boar, and Lin Feng said that he had caught a litter of piglets. Join together. Matched?

So Lin Feng told the previous story again, this is really a lie, then you have several lies to complete this lie. When Lin Feng finished his story, he shocked Hu San and the others with their mouths wide open, and the three guys were really shocked in their hearts, this Lin Feng You are really not an ordinary person, in that kind of environment, is that what ordinary people can do? At this point, Hu San's thoughts about Lin Feng have completely changed.

This teenager, when he grows up, is definitely a character! A teenager in the mountains. An extraordinary handsome boy who does not resemble a human figure. A mysterious teenager!

Say a little bit down. Lin Dashan and Hu San, as well as Zhang Ping'an and Hu Jun, also became acquaintances. Lin Feng secretly observed, that Hu Jun didn't say, an honest child, but Hu San was a businessman, shrewd, not to mention, his vision was not bad, and he had a lot of uniqueness, if this kid had a chance to develop, he would have a good future.

And that Zhang Ping'an, this kid is a guy who hasn't yet emerged, and over time, this kid's future will definitely be good. This point is known from the level at which he speaks to several people, speaking appropriately but not arrogantly, measured and having certain opinions.

Lin Feng saw it, and his heart almost had the idea of pulling him in the future. However, that depends on the future. Although Lin Dashan is shrewd, he is still a mountain man in the mountains, and his life and vision are still a little worse than Zhang Ping'an's. Lin Feng thought about it all the way, and he had some thoughts in his heart. A few people chatted while drinking, which was nothing more than some miscellaneous things.

Until about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Feng proposed to go home separately, and Hu San was also worried that Xiaoliu was helping him look at the stall, so he didn't insist.

Out of the door of the hotel, Lin Feng smiled, "Hu San, Ping'an, the three of you are here, I have asked to go to school in the past two days, my uncle needs help here, you can help, I thank you in advance." ”

Hu Sansan hurriedly said when he heard this, Brother Lin, don't worry about this, you will be angry when you say this, isn't it, in the future, Uncle Dashan will come here and our brothers will take it as their own business, not to mention anything else, big things can't be done, small things can still be done. You can rest assured of this.

That Zhang Ping'an and Hu Jun also said in a row, Lin Dashan was already almost drunk at this time, and said goodbye to the three of them in a daze.

Lin Feng smiled bitterly and helped Lin Dashan to walk towards the station, seeing that Lin Dashan was a little unsupportable, Lin Feng wanted to say, he didn't know if he could help Lin Dashan eliminate the strength of the wine, he thought about the possibilities in all aspects, and he didn't wait for it at the moment, and a wisp of internal breath penetrated Lin Dashan's body like a silk thread.

I only heard Lin Dashan say, Xiaofeng, why did I suddenly get chills? As he spoke, his teeth chattered, and he made a slight bumping sound.

After Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. I can't imagine that yin energy is so domineering! He just let go of a trace of yin breath, Lin Dashan couldn't stand it, and said,

"Uncle Dashan, maybe it's because you're drunk." He doesn't dare to tell the truth, I have infused a wisp of yin qi in your body.

After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly thought, Uncle Dashan is an ordinary person, how can he stand it if he uses the Yin Qi of the Yin Qi to do that! After thinking about it for a while, he carefully released a wisp of yang qi that dispersed into Lin Dashan's body.

This time, Lin Feng was extraordinarily attentive, this Zhiyang's internal force, he knew his interests and harms. Once when Lin Feng was in the valley, there was a time when he wanted to try the benefits of the yang breath. So he had a long knife left by the Yuan army, although the knife was rusty, it was still very good, Lin Feng had it that time. After his yang breath poured into the blade of the long knife, something shocked Lin Feng happened, in front of his eyes, your long knife instantly turned into a pile of molten iron! At that time, Lin Feng was really stunned, and after that, he shouted excitedly in the valley.

And the old man Qingling is to hit him, just your little bit of internal force!

Lin Feng was puzzled and asked, how can he be regarded as extremely successful.

The old man laughed, so much so that even he didn't know! He knew that he had reached the point where the internal force could reach more than ten zhang away, and at what distance was it to melt gold and iron! It can be said that within this distance, it is a scorched earth!

Lin Feng was stunned when he heard this, is that still what a person can reach! That's not something that people can understand, but something incredible!

And the old man seems to be hanging Lin Feng's appetite, and at that time, he didn't know the current Yin and Yang dual cultivation method! His implication, that is, stinky boy, it's up to you, at that time, I wouldn't be so interested in the method of double cultivation, and now that you kid has learned this method of double cultivation of yin and yang, if it is not as good as me back then, it will make people laugh to death.

In the end, Lin Feng asked with a rare grimace, how long would it take me to get to that point.

The old man also rolled his eyes rarely, I had only just practiced the Blazing Sun Dafa at that time. is invincible in the world in the year of the weak crown. As for you, ho-ho, it's up to you, you won't let me down, right? Lin Feng didn't say anything anymore.

Then, the old man sighed and said softly, you can now be said to be going against the sky, throughout the ages, there is no one or everyone who has this thaumaturgy, they are at most using the power of heaven and earth to do the Tao, or to use the five elements of heaven and earth to practice their Taoism!

Of course, there are also many evil people who follow the evil path that hurts nature and reason, but the integration of yin and yang is unprecedented! In short, no matter what, man, between heaven and earth, is insignificant, just a part of heaven and earth! And as a person with a higher spiritual intelligence than other creatures, animals and plants, he has indeed glimpsed a trace of the Heavenly Dao!

It's just a very small number of people! For example, the old man Qingling, that to push. Back. Info. A wonder through the ages! Another example is some legendary strange people, but some quite famous Taoist techniques are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the old man.

The old man didn't know how far Lin Feng could go in the future, and at this time, Lin Dashan was really comfortable.

"Xiaofeng, why am I so comfortable this time, more comfortable than basking in the sun?"

Lin Feng was speechless when he heard this, and said in his heart Can this be compared, poor Lin Dashan may not have enjoyed other beautiful things in his life, this sun is good.

And Lin Dashan called again, strange, I couldn't stand the cold just now, why did I change my appearance after a while.

Lin Feng listened to Lin Dashan's drunken words, and secretly thought that there was a door, and at that moment, he increased his internal strength. When he landed, Lin Dashan screamed softly. "Oops, it's like smoking a big cigarette."

Lin Feng was surprised, "Uncle, you've smoked a lot, oh, it's drugs." ”

Lin Dashan glanced back at him, "What are drugs?" ”

Lin Feng was happy when he heard it, "It's a kind of processed fine product of big smoke." ”

"Oh, I see." Lin Dashan nodded, in the past, that thing hurt a lot of people, that thing can't be touched, Xiaofeng, you must not touch that outside.

Lin Feng smiled, "I know. ”

"Hey, that's weird, why don't I get dizzy?" Saying that, Lin Dashan shook his head, really not dizzy? Strange, really weird! Is it difficult to wake up quickly when the wine is good?

As soon as Lin Feng heard the music, he suddenly thought about whether he had a lot of alcohol after that, no, if he drank as much as he wanted, it seems that this Void Dafa is really the Dafa of the ages, I don't know if there are other benefits? For a while, Lin Feng's heart was alive.

In just a few minutes before and after, Lin Dashan's wine woke up, and he looked refreshed. "Hey, it's really evil, I woke up as soon as this heat came up, but I used to have to sleep to be good, maybe that time it will be up."

Lin Feng smiled silently, it was not good to think about it, and said again, it may be that you were happy this time, and you didn't drink so much, this time, the strength of the wine went down.

Lin Dashan shook his head, "Maybe, but I always feel different." ”

Lin Feng smiled for a while and stopped talking, he really couldn't say anything about it, so he looked at the direction of the station and said, "Uncle, let's go, let's go back early." ”

Lin Dashan answered, and walked briskly with Lin Feng. All the way to the station, got on the train, and all the way home, it was still early.

The old man Lin Changshun went out for a walk, he hadn't come back at this time, and Heifeng was not at home, either he went out with his grandfather, or he ran to the mountains to hunt, in short, this guy's energy is too much, and he is a guy who can't be idle for a moment.

Of course, if Lin Feng is at home, it will be different, this guy will root Lin Feng step by step, Lin Feng will go there, and it will follow there. Lin Dashan saw that the old man was not at home, so he asked Lin Feng to come to his house, but Lin Feng said that he couldn't go, so Lin Dashan went back by himself.

Lin Feng had nothing to do, so he went into the house and you took the weeping blood to play, and after a while, he felt bored, and walked out of the room to the tall osmanthus tree in the courtyard, under this tree, Lin Feng got a reclining chair for the old man, Lin Feng bought it from the city, it was Lin Feng who caught some pheasants and hares in the mountains in exchange for money, and the old man didn't know at that time, and when Lin Feng came to come, the old man was so beautiful.

After that, this chaise longue became a great treasure for the old man, and he lay on it for a while when he had nothing to do, and it was hot, so he never moved into the room. Lin Feng lay down and thought again, if he used the method just now to comb the old man's body, he would definitely not be wrong! Come to think of it. Lin Feng smiled, today's wine, drink well, this internal breath can dissipate the strength of the wine in the human body, then it will definitely improve the function of the human body! In that case, grandpa's old cold legs, low back pain, and arthritis may be cured.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but be a little excited, these things, the old man Qingling didn't tell him, maybe, the old man himself didn't know, maybe it was in the valley that the time was tight, it could be said that there was no trace of time, maybe it was the old man Qingling, maybe he didn't expect Lin Feng to use this method to treat these small problems! Of course, with the domineering of the Blazing Sun Dafa, how could it be possible to treat people for these diseases, and it would be good if they didn't cure people to death.

However, it can also be said that the old man's Taoism is at stake, he had no opponent when he was born, and after becoming a yin god, even the world-moving Li Chunfeng wanted to find trouble with him, but he was repaired by the old man, and Li Chunfeng's ability to drive away ghosts and gods was still repaired by the old man, so how can the old man's strength be extraordinary!

Fortunately, the old man has long passed the fierce time, and Li Chunfeng has become friends instead, if it is according to the fierce tears of the old man's life, then Li Chunfeng's fate can be imagined! Lin Feng thought that the cure might be curable, but the question was how to tell the people at home! I can't say it directly, if that's the case, it's good not to scare the people in the family half to death, think about it, but there is still helplessness! Before he knew it, he was stunned.

Suddenly, I had an idea, why not pretend that I have practiced qigong or something, so as to get through the test, so that there will be a saying in the future, no, you can't always cover it up like this, although this excuse is a bit ridiculous, but everything has to have a process, so it is better than the air melting gold and iron to make people acceptable!

After thinking about it for a while, his heart settled down a little, and his mood was much better, seeing that it was getting late, he got up to prepare dinner, and it happened that the old man came back humming a little tune all the way, Lin Feng looked at it and thought to himself that he didn't know what good things the old man had encountered, so he asked.

"Grandpa, what's the joy of? You're glad you did. ”

"It's nothing, it's just that your grandfather Chang Geng and a few of them played chess with me today, and they all lost." When the old man said this, he laughed happily again.

Lin Feng couldn't help but burst out laughing, what else did he want to do, it turned out to be like this, it seems that the old man has some children's hearts, and when he wins, he is so happy that his face is full of smiles, and when he loses, he is also unhappy. It's really a rejuvenated old child!

So an old man and a young man opened the topic while starting to cook, the meal of the two people is easy to cook, it will be good in a while, the old and young master brought the meal to the table, Lin Feng packed up the chopsticks and put them for the old man, thinking about how to speak, thinking about it and afraid of disturbing the old man's meal, so after the meal, Lin Feng packed everything.

Make a cup of tea for the old man, then sit down next to the old man and say, "Grandpa, tell you something." ”

Lin Changshun said nonchalantly.

"What's the matter? Tell me first, it's not going to be a trouble outside, is it? You're not a kid who doesn't know what to do, what's wrong? ”

Lin Feng smiled and said, "No, it's a good thing. ”

"Oh." The old man sighed and waited for the following.

Lin Feng pondered for a while and said, That's the case, I met an old man outside a few years ago, and learned some qigong from the old man, oh, no, it's a Taoist, an old Taoist! It's not the deceptive stuff out there.

Lin Feng looked at the look on the old man's face, and said, I want to treat your old problem for you.

The old man was surprised when he heard this, "How come I don't know about this?" Is there such a thing? ”

Lin Feng nodded, there is really such a thing!

The old man nodded, "Okay, I see." ”

Lin Feng was shocked at this time, "Grandpa, do you believe it?" ”

The old man looked at him and said, "What's this, your grandfather will do qigong, and he has also been in the martial arts of the Qing Dynasty, but he will not be able to do it in my generation." ”

Lin Feng was stunned at this moment, "Why don't I know about this at home?" ”

The old man laughed, "Silly boy, how old are you." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Just the old Zhang in the village next door, he just left the year before last, that old man is one round older than me, twenty-two years younger than your grandfather, that old man is also a capable person, one hand can lift two or three hundred pounds of stone locks, one punch can break a thick bowl of trees, it is said that when fighting devils, the old man assassinated dozens of little devils overnight, and the old man was eccentric, never interacted with people, even the people in his village he rarely interacted with, and his temperament was surprisingly withdrawn! ”

Lin Feng listened in a daze, "Why didn't I know that there was this person?" ”

The old man laughed again, "But the old fellow told me about you. ”

Lin Feng was curious, "Say what?" ”

The old man smiled, "That old guy said, your boy is good, if it weren't for that dead man." The old guy just said such a half-hearted sentence.

At this moment, Lin Feng was really stunned, he couldn't help but be stunned, and opened his mouth wide! Is there such a coincidence in this world?

The old man looked at Lin Feng's stunned expression and smiled.

Lin Feng is in the cave in the valley, and he doesn't know how many martial arts cheats, but those are ancient books from hundreds of years ago.

And now, Lin Feng really didn't know how to say it, and after a long time, Lin Feng smiled bitterly, I, really, ah, don't say it.

"But, grandpa, my master won't let me tell anyone outside about me."

The old man smiled again, "I know, strange man, just like the old guy in the village." ”

Lin Feng said with a smile, Grandpa, I want to try my qigong, which is said to be able to cure some old problems of the elderly, but I don't know if it will work.

The old man was a little stunned at this moment, what you said is true, you are a seventeen-year-old child. Aren't those who know qigong all old people?

Lin Feng was stunned for a moment, "Grandpa, don't you know that I am a man who is different from others?" ”

The old man laughed, "You're a little kid." ”

Lin Feng opened his mouth, he was still an eternal child in the eyes of the old man. Lin Feng saw a glass on the table, grabbed it in the air, and the cup flew into his hand, Lin Feng was in the old man's shocked gaze, and the cup instantly turned into a wisp of dust and floated in the air.

At this moment, the old man was really shocked.

"Grandpa, I'll have a little bit of it."

As he spoke, Lin Feng came behind the old man and put his hands on the old man's shoulders. In an instant, a warm air flow flowed into the old man's body, and the old man let out a soft exhalation, which was so comfortable! And Lin Feng, while carefully transporting internal force into the old man's body, was also wondering in his heart if there was any good way to make the old man's body better.

The old man shouted, "Feng'er, you are so interested, it seems that you are more interested than the old Taoist priests in the mountains when I was young. ”

Hudi felt like he had just remembered, "Xiaofeng, did you get those wolves and wild boars a few days ago, and when you came back, you were so panicked, which hurt my plain heart." ”

Lin Feng smiled bitterly on his face, Grandpa, don't talk about this, otherwise, the people in the village don't know what to say about me.

At this moment, the old man laughed, "Stinky boy, you still know what you are doing outside." ”

Lin Feng scratched his head, "People outside are not talking nonsense, what age is this, and they are still superstitious!" ”

The old man laughed when he heard this, one old and one young, a kind of happy family joy Lin Feng has been looking forward to the home, a warm home.

The old man's heart is indeed relieved, in his opinion, the old Taoist priest in the mountains he knew when he was young is only incredible, but now, his grandson seems to be more beneficial than the old Taoist when he was young, his old forest head, this life, is worth it!

Before he knew it, the old man fell asleep, and there was a smile on his face.

Lin Feng looked at it and snickered, thinking that grandpa didn't know if he had killed Grandpa Chang Geng in his dream, otherwise he would have laughed so happily, seeing that the old man was asleep, Lin Feng's hand was raised, and strangely, the old man's body floated up like a fantasy, slowly, drifted to the old man's room, and slowly lay flat on his bed.

Lin Feng brought the old man a cup of tea, smiled lightly and walked out of the door.

After this treatment, Lin Feng knew what to do, and he also knew what was going on with the old man's body, such as the old man's back pain, which was tired from years of hard work, and rheumatism, which was generally known to everyone, but it was not easy to eradicate, and these are now in Lin Feng's opinion.

Everything, maybe with his nothingness, could be healed, but he had to figure out what was going on. The internal force of yin and yang, that's not a joke, a bad one, that's a big deal, and he did it on his grandfather's body, he has to be careful!

Suddenly, Lin Feng understood something, just now, for a little time, his yin qi and yang qi merged into one, and at that moment, the lesion in the old man's body, when he encountered Lin Feng's kind of internal qi, it was like white snow encountering hot water.

It's just that that time is short! Everything, Lin Feng figured it out! Yin and yang fusion, this is the key to everything!

However, the problem is that Lin Feng can't achieve the fusion of yin and yang at will!

It seems that Lin Feng smiled, he still has to work hard, but as long as he knows what to do, then it will be easy to say.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he thought that like his grandfather's rheumatoid arthritis, the Burning Sun Dafa was just the right match, but he had to be careful, after all, the Burning Sun Dafa was too domineering and fierce!
