Chapter 18: The Black Cat

Zhang Longfei knew the middle-aged man in front of him. He is Wei Zhongsheng's distant brother - Wei Guoqiang. Wei Guoqiang can be said to be Wei Zhongsheng's right-hand man, and he takes care of all the big and small projects. Zhang Longfei had worked under Wei Guoqiang, and they were still very familiar with each other.

"Hello, Boss Wei." Zhang Longfei stepped forward and called out respectfully.

When Wei Guoqiang heard this, he turned his head sharply and saw that it was Zhang Longfei, so he smiled and said, "Yo, it's Brother Fei." My sister-in-law told me two days ago that you were coming over and asked me to take care of you. I was just wondering why you haven't been here yet. ”

The sister-in-law in Wei Guoqiang's mouth should be Lin Miaofeng. When Zhang Longfei heard this, his heart felt like he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, which was not a taste at all. He hesitated for a moment before he said perfunctorily: "I have something at home. ”

"Is that done?" Wei Guoqiang looked very concerned. He knew that although Zhang Longfei had conflicts with Wei Zhongsheng, he was Lin Miaofeng's relative after all, and he had to give him three points of face no matter what.

"I'm done."

"It's good to be busy, it's good to be busy. Well, you're here today, it's your turn to do the carpentry. Wei Guoqiang said with a smile.

"What kind of house is this?" Zhang Longfei asked casually.

"Villa, good house of the first class. Their family asked us to build this villa into the highest grade house in Hexia Town, which is unique. Between the words, Wei Guoqiang showed smugness.

"Who's that?" Zhang Longfei asked curiously.

"Su Limin."

"Su Limin? Who is Su Limin? Zhang Longfei never seemed to have heard of the name.

Wei Guoqiang laughed, then glanced around, and whispered mysteriously: "You don't know who Su Limin is, then you should know who Su Qingyao is, right?" ”

Of course, Zhang Longfei knew Su Qingyao, and he knew it quite well. Su Qingyao was the secretary of the county party committee of Nan'an County, and was in charge of Nan'an from the 70s to the 80s, and was prominent for a while. Later, for some reason, Su Qingyao disappeared from the eyes of the people in Nan'an County. Later, it is said that he went to Jiangsu to become a senior official and settled in Jiangsu.

Zhang Longfei nodded. He whispered, "Isn't Su Liminmo Su Qingyao's son?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Guoqiang nodded vigorously. "This Su Limin is Su Qingyao's eldest son, and he also has a brother named Su Zhongmin. It seems that the two brothers returned to Nan'an together, and it seems that they are going to settle down in Nan'an and not leave. ”

"What about Su Qingyao?" Zhang Longfei still remembers seeing Su Qingyao's photos in the newspaper when he was a child. With a big back, a wide head, and a polite appearance, it is unforgettable.

Wei Guoqiang shook his head. "I don't know. I haven't heard from my second brother. But I guess I'm probably dead. These two brothers should have come to recognize their ancestors and returned to their ancestors. ”

"Oh." Zhang Longfei nodded understandingly. "Then why did the family build a house next to the school?"

"Aren't their ancestors from Hexia Town? And I heard the second brother say that Su Limin is very superstitious, saying that living near the school, he is full of yang energy and prosperous, and he can get some children's breath. Because Su Limin seems to have no children, he is about to lose his heirs. ”

"Ahh

"What's wrong?" Wei Guoqiang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhang Longfei's surprised look.

"I think so." Zhang Longfei loosened the tool bag on his shoulder. "If their family lives here, I don't think he will want children in his life."

"What's going on?" Wei Guoqiang knew that Zhang Longfei usually liked to read some strange ancient books, and he often had some surprising words.

"Is school a place where ordinary people can live? The school is a clear water yamen, with no power and power, little gold and little silver, and its financial luck is particularly poor. Also, the school has always had little yang energy, heavy yin energy, unstable aura, and poor luck. ”

When Wei Guoqiang heard this, he immediately burst out laughing. "I said Feige, you're talking nonsense. Even I know that there are so many children in the school, how energetic and lively. Why is there still less yang energy? ”

"It's lively during the day, but what about at night? There are so many houses, and there is no one, have you ever thought about it? Also, so many children graduate from the school every year, coming and going, and the aura is certainly unstable. ”

When Wei Guoqiang heard this, he also seemed to feel that what Zhang Longfei said made some sense. He looked around for a while, and then whispered to Zhang Longfei: "This, don't talk nonsense, it's okay to stop here." Whether their feng shui is good or not is none of our business, we just need to repair the house. ”

The villas of the Su Li family are designed with ingenuity, novelty and uniqueness. Not only does it have a Western architectural style, with multiple architectural components, upright gables, and flat roofs on all sides, but it also seems to have borrowed elements from ancient Chinese gardens, with courtyard ponds. As a result, the various construction requirements greatly slowed down the progress of the project.

Zhang Longfei worked on the construction site for more than ten days, and the progress of the entire villa was only halfway through. He knew that at the current pace, the children should be able to complete the topping out of the entire villa before the school starts on September 1st. Then he can settle his wages and the money for the children's schooling will be settled.

Early this morning, Zhang Longfei gobbled up the breakfast that Wei Chunhua made for him. He helped Lin Miaoxiang finish drying a large pile of washed clothes, and then launched the "permanent" brand bicycle. He quickly packed up his tools with his hands and feet, and left the house under Lin Miaoxiang's advice.

The total distance from Zhangjiakeng Village to Hexia Town is less than ten miles, but it takes a little more time to climb a hill during the process.

The hill is the remnant of Funiu Mountain. Locals are accustomed to calling it "Rokuro Mountain". According to legend, Yang Yanzhao, a general of the Northern Song Dynasty, once camped in this mountain, and later Yang Liulang raised troops to attack Liao and shocked the frontier. In order to commemorate Yang Yanzhao's great achievements, the locals called this hill "Liulang Mountain".

Liulang Mountain is not more than 100 meters high, but the trend is long, stretching from east to west, stretching a piece, and Zhangjiakeng Village is tightly surrounded in it. Liulang Mountain echoes with the Chuanghe River not far away, forming a natural "blessed land". The elderly people in Zhangjiakeng Village often say that Zhangjiakeng Village has been worry-free about drought and flood for so many years, and the people in the port are abundant, all of which rely on the shelter from the wind and rain of Liulang Mountain and the shade of Yang Liulang's merits.

Mt. Rokuro has had a trail over the mountain since ancient times. It's just that after a long time, the trail has long been dilapidated. In the early 80s, funded by the Nan'an County Government, the villagers of Zhangjiakeng Village were organized to dig a mountain and build a mountain road about 2 meters wide. Zhang Longfei vaguely remembered that on the day the mountain road was built, Su Qingyao, then secretary of the Nan'an County Party Committee, spoke on stage.

The newly built mountain road divides Rokuro Mountain into two, each side of the east and west. Although it has been much easier for the villagers of Zhangjiakeng Village to enter and exit the village since then, some elderly people have been sighing at the gap in Liulang Mountain all day long, saying that the feng shui of Liulang Mountain has been broken. Of course, the young Zhang Longfei didn't know what feng shui was in the elderly population. He only felt that the originally neat and uniform Liulang Mountain suddenly appeared out of thin air, as if a child had lost his teeth, which was really not good-looking.

The night faded, and the mist of Liulang Mountain in the morning light was like a dream. A few unknown birds fluttered their wings and flew high, floating upward; Suddenly, he cried and called for friends. The mountain road is lined with trees and vegetation on both sides. There are many short bushes in Liulang Mountain, densely packed, all over the mountains, and some tall pine trees stand in between. When he was a child, Zhang Longfei did not go to Liulang Mountain to "hunt for treasure" like other children. He always felt that there was always a pair of mysterious eyes staring at him in those dense bushes, as if they were going to eat him anytime and anywhere.

Zhang Longfei pushed the bicycle and went up the slope. He pretended to be relaxed, humming a little song in his mouth, but his eyes glanced at both sides of the mountain road from time to time. Although this mountain road has been walked for more than 30 years, and it is clear where there is a pothole on the road, Zhang Longfei still rarely walks through Liulang Mountain alone. He always felt like something was jumping out of the bushes coldly.

Finally reaching the top of the mountain, Zhang Longfei let out a long breath. He looked around for a moment, then stepped onto the bike with his legs out and glared hard. The bike went down the bandwagon and got faster and faster. The whirring wind flashed in his ears, Zhang Longfei was so unhappy in his heart, and began to hum a little song in his mouth again.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly flashed in front of Zhang Longfei. Zhang Longfei was taken aback, and instinctively raised his foot and stepped on the cover plate of the front wheel. The cover pressed tightly against the tires, and there was a "crunch" sound, and there was a burnt smell at the front wheels. Zhang Longfei's bicycle has long been in disrepair, and the front and rear brakes have been rendered useless. Whenever he needs to brake suddenly, Zhang Longfei will always use this trick "foot brake".

Zhang Longfei stopped the bicycle sideways and supported the ground on one leg. He stared intently at the place where the dark shadow had just disappeared, as if he wanted to understand. It's just that the mountain breeze is coming, the mist is still there, and the dense bushes are silent, without the slightest movement. Zhang Longfei looked around again, thinking that he might be dazzled and scared of himself.

Zhang Longfei sneered secretly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes again, and then stepped on the bicycle and prepared to move on. At this time, Zhang Longfei suddenly felt a cold behind his back, as if something was staring at him behind his back.

Zhang Longfei's heart sank, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on his body. He hurriedly turned his head, only to find a black cat staring at him on the top of a hill not far behind him. The black cat is all black, with a strong body, and its two eyes are green and glowing, which is very eye-catching.

When I go out, I meet a cat, I have a cold and a fever. As soon as Zhang Longfei saw this black cat, his heart suddenly became hoarse, and he panicked inexplicably. He didn't dare to look at the black cat again, so he hurriedly turned around and stomped on his pedals. The worn-out bicycle suddenly rushed down the hill like an arrow offline.

Even when he usually goes out, Zhang Longfei has to walk around some small animals when he encounters them, for fear of disturbing them. Zhang Longfei has always believed that all things have spirits and everything has a master. Since they meet them impartially, they must be hinting at their luck, whether they are bad or lucky. What's more, he met a black cat today, which made Zhang Longfei's heart extremely nervous, and the goosebumps on his body were difficult to get rid of for a long time.
