Chapter 6: Behind the Expedition
The next morning, when the torture technique came to the pawnshop, he saw that the door was open, he immediately rushed in, and found that Tian Lianfeng was cleaning in the house, and when he saw him coming back, he immediately greeted him and explained: "Don't get me wrong, it's not me who insisted on coming, it was the master who called last night and asked me to come to the pawnshop today to open the door, and said that you will go out in the next few days, and you can't waste the pawnshop." ”
Xingshu threw down his backpack and asked, "Where did Master call from?" Where is he now? ”
Tian Lianfeng shook his head: "I don't know, he didn't say it to the old man, you know his temper, and ......"
Tian Lianfeng glanced outside the door, and just when Xingshu thought that he was going to convey some of his master's words, Tian Lianfeng lowered his voice and said: "I'm sorry for what happened last time, I really didn't know that something like that happened, don't be angry with me, I'll give you a free job all year round, don't pay half a penny, okay?" ”
Xingshu looked at Tian Lianfeng's childlike appearance, and couldn't laugh or cry: "I already said it last time, it's okay, and this pawnshop is not mine alone, it is the foundation laid by the principal given by the master, since you are my junior brother, according to the master's meaning, the income from the sale must be divided between the two of us in half, although the master will not ask for our money, but we still have to take out another part of the respective half to honor the master." ”
Tian Lianfeng just nodded, and the torture technique grabbed the backpack, opened the safe, and selected some things from it to put inside.
Tian Lianfeng stood outside the counter and watched, and asked, "Torture, no, senior brother, do you really want to go far away?" ”
"Yes, I'll go to Beijing first, then to Foshan, and finally to Sichuan." After the torture was simply cleaned up, he took out a trolley travel bag from the cabinet next to him, "I'm going this time, I don't know when I'll come back, I estimate that even if it goes well, it will take about a month, maybe it will be a little longer, the family will ask you to take care of it, you can go see my dad when you are free, and also, the old Chinese medicine doctor I told you last time, I have already said that you can go and get medicine when you are free, and your dad's body needs to pay more attention." ”
Tian Lianfeng's brows furrowed: "No, what you said, why do I sound like I'm explaining what happened?" ”
The torture technique pressed the backpack and looked at Tian Lianfeng helplessly: "Can you speak?" Do you have to curse me to die before I get out of school? ”
Tian Lianfeng immediately waved his hand: "I didn't mean that, didn't I think it was unlucky for you to say these words?" Don't worry, your dad is my dad, you can go with confidence, wait a while, why doesn't my words sound right? I'm baba ”
Xingshu looked at Tian Lianfeng and shook his head with a wry smile: "If Yan Gang or Bai Zhongzheng come to me, you will say that I am far away, and they want to ask me where I am going, you will tell the truth, but tell them, don't worry, I'm fine, I have to deal with this matter alone." ”
Tian Lianfeng nodded: "Let's call us, do you want to bring a few more power banks?" ”
"Okay, don't be a mother-in-law, I'm leaving, I bought a train ticket, and I'll be in Beijing in the evening." Torture Shu carried a backpack on his back, dragged his duffel bag and walked out, but stopped when he walked to the door, because he saw Fan Junyi standing outside, although he was still dressed as a gentleman before, but the state of the whole person became completely different, without the momentum of the past, and his back was slightly hunched, completely like a slave.
Tian Lianfeng was deeply surprised when he saw Fan Junyi, and after being stunned for two seconds, he immediately picked up a broom and continued to clean - today's Tian Lianfeng, at least under the teaching of Zheng Cangqiong in the past few months, has understood some of the "human sophistication" that he should understand at his age.
"Professor Fan, is there anything wrong with you? If there is something, please hurry up, I'm in a hurry. The torture technique did not put down the luggage in his hand, but when he finished speaking, he found that He Fenglei and Ai Xingling walked in from the door behind Fan Jun, although the state of the two was slightly better than that of Fan Junyi, but they were also full of anxiety.
The torture had to put down the luggage: "Hello uncle and aunt, please come in." ”
Tian Lianfeng immediately boiled water to prepare tea, and after it was ready, he nodded slightly to the three guests, and then walked to the opposite side to smell Qingzhai, and closed the door after entering.
Zhang Dawen, who was sitting at the counter, saw Tian Lianfeng walk in, immediately stood up, and asked with a smile on his face: "Boss Tian, is there any good goods?" The snuffbox you shot last time was really rare, and your eyesight is good. ”
Zhang Dawen said a series of words, but found that Tian Lianfeng was standing at the door and looking at the opposite side through the crack in the door, and he immediately leaned over: "What's wrong?" ”
Zhang Dawen just leaned over to look at it for a while, and was pushed away by Tian Lianfeng: "Don't look blind!" ”
Zhang Dawen was unhappy: "You can watch it, why can't I watch it?" ”
Tian Lianfeng said: "That's my shop, I can look at it however I like." ”
Zhang Dawen looked Tian Lianfeng up and down: "Yo, you kid really think of yourself as a pawnshop owner?" Who in the industry doesn't know that this pawnshop is a torture technique, what do you want to do? Could it be that he is trying to usurp the throne? ”
"What nonsense!" Tian Lianfeng said angrily, "My senior brother is going to go far away, and I'm always worried. ”
Zhang Dawen immediately patted his chest and said: "Boss Tian, don't worry, with me, let's combine our swords, it is definitely ......"
Zhang Dawen was halfway through his words, and found that Tian Lianfeng was worried, so he asked, "Is the torture really going to leave again?" ”
Tian Lianfeng nodded: "Hmm." ”
Zhang Dawen turned around and poured Tian Lianfeng a cup of tea and handed it over: "Don't worry, we are poor and poor, but if we really compare eyesight and kung fu and skills, a hundred Zhang Dawen and five hundred Tian Lianfeng are not as good as a torture technique, be relieved, it's okay." ”
"Hmm." Tian Lianfeng nodded, and then reacted, "What are a hundred Zhang Dawen and five hundred Tian Lianfeng?" Do you think you can be much better than me? You Manchu Tartar! ”
"Hey-" Zhang Dawen also got energetic, put his sleeves away, and made it look like he was going to fight Tian Lianfeng to the end.
While the two were playing poorly, the atmosphere in the pawnshop opposite had become extremely weird.
After making tea and pouring it for the three of them, he sat down and asked, "Three, please tell me something, I'm really in a hurry." ”
"I'm sorry." Ai Xingling stood up and bowed to the torture technique in apology, "We didn't expect things to turn out like that. ”
He Fenglei also got up and bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, it's our fault, we have no way to teach our daughter." ”
Fan Junyi, who had been standing, had always maintained a posture of leaning down, so he just clenched the hat in his hand.
Xingshu shook his head: "This has nothing to do with you, and I am also responsible for He Yuejia's death, if you are just here for this, I can tell you that it is over, I have nothing to do with the Jade Casting Society, and I don't want to have any contact with the Jade Casting Society, whether it is a business or a personal relationship." ”
He Fenglei wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, so he had to look at Ai Xingling.
Ai Xingling looked at the torture technique and said, "Torture, your Uncle He and I really want you to be our family's son-in-law, but ......"
"Alright." The torture technique raised his hand to stop Ai Xingling from continuing, "I said, it's over, don't bring it up again, there is no point in it." ”
Ai Xingling nodded slightly: "Torture, this time we have something to ask for, there is only one thing to ask you, I hope you can agree." ”
Torture asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Ai Xingling looked back at Fan Junyi behind him, Fan Junyi raised his eyes slightly, and the moment he met the gaze of the torture technique, he immediately lowered his head and pinched the hat in his hand even tighter.
The torture technique immediately understood: "Professor Fan, Fan Meng's affairs, it is not for me to decide, what kind of outcome he will have depends entirely on himself, you should know better than me what kind of person your son is." ”
"Ask for ...... Please. Fan Jun's voice trembled as soon as he spoke, "I only have one son Fan Meng, I have already lost him once back then, I don't want to lose it again, I beg you, torture, I know you have a way, there must be a way, please!" ”
Fan Jun was about to kneel down as soon as he spoke, but he was stepped forward by an arrow step by the torture technique, and lifted up the clothes that grabbed his shoulders: "Professor Fan, I don't know why you became like this, and I don't want to know, because it doesn't matter to me, I still say that, what is the result of Fan Meng, it is not for me to decide." ”
After speaking, the torture technique let go of Fan Junyi, turned around and picked up the luggage: "Three of you, please go back, I'm leaving, if the business welcomes you to come, there is nothing else, let's better not meet again, goodbye." ”
As he spoke, he strode away with his luggage, Fan Jun stood there, constantly shaking his head slightly, He Fenglei just patted him on the shoulder and sighed, while Ai Xingling hesitated for a while and turned around to leave first.
After the three of them left, Tian Lianfeng came out, looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, sighed slightly, and then continued to clean.
But just as Tian Lianfeng was sweeping, he saw a pair of shoes appear in front of him, he looked up, but found that he had deceived himself and knocked himself unconscious.
Tian Lianfeng immediately squeezed the broom, pointed at Lian Jiuqi and said, "You still dare to come!?" You-"
Lian Jiuqi was smiling, gently grabbed the broom in Tian Lianfeng's hand and said, "What? Do you still want to beat your brother's father? ”
"Huh?" Tian Lianfeng was stunned, "What are you talking about?" What did you just say? ”
Lian Jiuqi let go of the broom, looked at the pawnshop and said, "Go in and say, because what I have to say is very long, and it is easy to get thirsty, I smell the fragrance of tea, don't you mind pouring me a cup of tea, right?" ”
Lian Jiuqi walked into the house as he spoke, Tian Lianfeng stood at the door and watched blankly, and then the broom fell to the ground.
took a taxi to the West Railway Station, waited in the waiting hall, sat there and flipped through the disguised "Nine Sons" outside, he was actually not sure whether this "Nine Sons" was true or false, although he himself believed that it was true, but if it was true, why should Lian Jiuqi hand it over to himself? Is he crazy? If not, then there must be some conspiracy hidden here!
He closed the book and sat there with his eyes closed, he was so tired, in the past month, he had not slept enough for eight hours in a single day, and he often woke up from his dreams, thinking that he was still in the Jiacuo Hall in Xiangxi.
"How long has it been since you slept?" A familiar voice sounded from behind him, and Torture opened his eyes suddenly, turning to look at Ma Fei, who was sitting behind him.
Ma Fei was dressed up beautifully, and she deliberately permed her hair, and her big wavy hair was matched with the right clothes, causing the eyes of almost all the men around her to focus on her, and two of them were pinched and screamed by their girlfriends.
Xingshu frowned: "Are you annoyed?" What are you doing with me? ”
Ma Fei said: "I follow you? It's just that I'm just on the same road, I'm afraid of loneliness, so it's better for you to do something good and accompany me, by the way, which carriage are you and how many numbers? ”
The torture technique did not answer, but Ma Fei turned around, directly took the ticket in his hand, looked at it, smiled, and then gave the torture technique with an impatient face: "Wait a minute." ”
The torture saw Ma Fei get up and walked straight to a middle-aged man not far away, then handed over his ticket, said a few words to the man, and pointed to the torture, the middle-aged man nodded again and again, and after Ma Fei left, his eyes stayed on her.
Torture closed his eyes and said, "You're very good at using this hand. ”
Ma Fei shrugged: "Women, you have to make good use of your own strengths, and achieve your goals without suffering, there is nothing wrong with this, I just told that big brother, saying that you are my husband, and we are going on a honeymoon, but there is a conflict, you buy a ticket in advance and leave, I am reluctant, I come to apologize to you, so I need to change with him, first change to the same carriage with you, and wait until I get on the train." ”
"What?" Torture turned around again, "Are you crazy?" ”
Ma Fei turned on his tablet and watched the unfinished TV series: "What? Think you're at a loss? By the way, there's something for you. ”
As he spoke, Ma Fei took out two marriage certificates from his pocket and handed them to the torture technique with his backhand.
The torture technique was opened and found that the marriage certificate was on it for him and Ma Fei, but the name had changed, and just when he was about to get angry, Ma Fei handed over two more: "Those two are for normal use, Jia Feng and Mo Duqiao helped to get them, these two are spare." ”
Torture opened the two books handed over the second time, and found that there were two other people on them, so he asked, "What do you want to do?" ”
Ma Fei said unhurriedly: "You go out with your current face, and the people in Cusco can recognize you at a glance, so I will help you change your appearance at the right time and become the appearance of the man on the second marriage certificate, so that it is convenient to act and not be noticed, the newlyweds go out on their honeymoon and travel around, it is normal for people to do it, if you think I took advantage of you, then I apologize now." ”
Torture sneered, "Even if you apologize, you have to pester me, right?" ”
Ma Fei turned his head to look at him: "Wow, you are so smart, you guessed it." ”
The torturer sighed, closed his eyes, and tried desperately to calm himself.
Half an hour later, the torture technique and Ma Fei, who was like kraft candy, boarded the car, and at the same time as the two boarded the car, in the pawnshop in the antique city, even Jiuqi put down the teacup, looked at Tian Lianfeng, who was sitting on the side and listened dumbfounded, and said: "That's the thing, did you hear clearly?" ”
It took Tian Lianfeng a long time to react: "You...... You lie, my master is not that kind of person! ”
Lian Jiuqi tied the button of his suit: "You misunderstood, my point is not to tell you that your master, no, to be exact, is our master, is that kind of person, but I want to tell you that I am indeed the father of the torture technique, and he should actually be surnamed Lian, called Lianshu." ”
Tian Lianfeng got up: "You lie!" How can it be? Where is there Lao Tzu and his son worship the same master, no, where is there ......"
Tian Lianfeng didn't know what he was talking about, he was already completely confused, so he had to stand there frowning and thinking about it.
Lian Jiuqi stretched out his hand: "I'm sorry, what happened last time was that I was not good, I apologize to you, solemnly apologize, however, I really think you are very interesting, I think you should be the friend who should be cherished the most in torture, because you are very simple, not complicated, and have no bad intentions, I am happy for him." ”
Seeing that Tian Lianfeng didn't reach out to shake it, Lian Jiuqi withdrew his hand again, walked out of his way, and left the pawnshop directly.
And Tian Lianfeng was stunned for a long time, and all that appeared in his mind repeatedly was the face of Lian Jiuqi when he recounted the old things before.
Is that true?
On the train to Beijing, Ma Fei smoothly changed seats with others, sat next to the torture, and then took out an eye mask and a pair of earplugs and handed them to the torture: "I know what kind of state you are in now, you'd better wear earplugs and eye patches, sleep well, don't worry, I won't do anything out of the ordinary, and I will help you guard the surroundings so that you can sleep at ease." ”
As he spoke, Maffei winked at the torture technique and leaned back in his seat to stare at the tablet.
Torture pinched the blindfold and earplugs, and after a long time, he whispered a thank you, but Mafei didn't respond.
At that moment, Xingshu felt a warmth rise in his heart, but after this warmth, another thought popped up in his heart - if it was He Chenxue sitting next to him, how good would it be?
Thinking of this, the torture technique shook his head vigorously, dispelled his foolish fantasy, and put on headphones and blindfolds again, forcing himself to calm down.
At this time, Ma Fei slowly turned his head, looking at the torture technique that was calm on the surface, but in fact he tensed his muscles and frowned, and shook his head slightly.
Within eight hours of the criminal art going to Beijing, Lian Jiuqi went to Ai Xingling, He Fenglei, and Ding Wan'an in succession, and went to the cave to see He Chenxue uninvited, and then went to Zhenyang Youfu Hospital, where he met Xing Guodong and the masters who Xingshu worshipped in Youfu Hospital.
And even Jiuqi visited these people for only one purpose, that is, to let everyone know that he is the biological father of torture.
When Lian Jiuqi told Xing Guodong the truth, Xing Guodong did not show the surprise he expected.
Lian Jiuqi, on the contrary, was a little surprised and asked, "Mr. Xing, don't you believe it?" ”
Xing Guodong shook his head: "No, I just think that this day will come sooner or later." ”
Lian Jiuqi said: "It's good if you are mentally prepared, and I will rest assured." ”
Xing Guodong asked: "Mr. Lian, I can ask, what is the purpose of you telling me about this?" Want to take the torture away from me? He's not a child anymore, I'm his adoptive father, I'm no longer a legal guardian, he's independent, so, I don't understand, why are you telling me this? ”
After listening to Xing Guodong's words, Lian Jiuqi was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, Lian Jiuqi suddenly laughed, shook his head with a smile and said: "Mr. Xing, to be honest, I was surprised, because you were the first person among all the people who listened to this matter today and asked me why, I think, this should have a lot to do with your psychology background, right?" ”
"No, it doesn't matter what major I study." Xing Guodong shook his head, "The reason why I asked like that is because I am a father!" ”
Xing Guodong's words seemed to have turned into a sharp sword, stabbing directly into Lian Jiuqi's heart, Lian Jiuqi didn't know what to say next, although he thought that he had made full preparations, prepared countless plans, and countless sets of rhetoric, but he never made any preparations for the word "father", or rather, his concept of the word "father" was only used for revenge.
Xing Guodong asked again: "If you are really his father and you really love him, why haven't you shown up for so many years, why haven't you shown up to take your responsibility?" Why? You don't need to answer me, you just answer yourself. ”
"I'm sorry." Lian Jiuqi got up, "Excuse me." ”
Lian Jiuqi got up, and suddenly felt a little pain in his chest, and when he covered his chest and walked towards the door, he heard Xing Guodong say again: "Don't you want to go to your wife's grave to put incense on the pillar?" ”
Lian Jiuqi stopped, standing there, his hands trembling slightly, he quickly clasped his hands together, turned to look at Xing Guodong, who had already gotten up, and then nodded slowly.
