Chapter 14: Puppetry
Seeing that he was looking at himself, the master said impatiently, what do you see, hurry up and take the medicine.
Is it okay to swallow it like this? Mei Lin asked.
"It's okay to take it, it's a little painful at first, and it will pass soon.
The power of the gloomy wood essence will be slowly absorbed by the body, and your strength will become stronger little by little. ”
Master said lightly.
Glancing at the pill, Mei Lin swallowed it.
He only felt a cool breath running down his throat and into his stomach.
The chill contained in the gloomy wood essence is heavy.
Mei Lin's stomach turned upside down, and the breath he exhaled turned white.
Even his eyebrows were covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and his body seemed to be frozen, and in the end, only his eyes could move.
He stood still like a sculpture.
Although his body was extremely uncomfortable, his mind was still clear.
After more than an hour, the cold in my body became heavier and heavier, and it did not mean to disappear.
He was about to freeze into a lump of ice.
With the sound of footsteps, Mei Shaohua walked in from outside the courtyard.
Seeing Mei Lin's appearance, Mei Shaohua couldn't believe his eyes.
He touched Mei Lin's face, and his hand quickly retracted.
The temperature on Mei Lin's body was very low, and a layer of frost had already formed.
Mei Shaohua shouted several times in a row, but Mei Lin didn't react at all.
Mei Shaohua was really frightened, and he hurriedly picked up Mei Lin.
Regardless of the low temperature on his body, like an ice cube, he carried him back to the room.
Mei Lin's mother was also frightened, and asked one after another, what happened to Lin'er?
Mei Shaohua couldn't explain clearly, they put him on the bed, brought all the quilts, and covered him.
After tossing for most of the night, Mei Lin's body gradually warmed up.
It wasn't until the second half of the night that he was back to normal and crawled out of the thick covers.
Mei Shaohua and his wife never slept, and they were relieved to see that he was okay.
Ask him, what happened?
Mei Lin didn't tell them about the gloomy wood essence, she just made up an excuse.
He went back to the backyard, put the Dan furnace away, and picked up his backpack again.
Lu Banshu is still inside, but the figure of the master has disappeared.
The next morning, Mei Lin was in high spirits and felt that her body was full of strength.
He took a piece of wood and sharpened the fibers of the wood.
To his surprise, it would have taken more than an hour to cut the stick down to just one fiber.
This time, it only took more than ten minutes.
To his surprise, the wood fibers were so cut that they could no longer be seen by the naked eye.
In his eyes, all that remained of the wood fiber was a bright line of pale cyan.
That's what Master said, the aura in the wood.
It's just that ordinary wood is different from gloomy wood, and the aura in it is very light, even if it is absorbed into the body, it will not help him much.
With the remuneration given by Zhou Yun, Mei Lin does not have to work at the construction site again.
He went to quit his job with Lao Gao.
Lao Gao sneered and said, "Now I know that it's too late to regret it."
No matter where you hide, Ding Qi can find you. ”
Seeing him, Mei Lin was like seeing a fly.
Mei Lin said, I will not run away, I will go to the appointment on time.
"Your mouth is quite hard, I think you're planning to run away, why don't you quit?"
Mei Lin glared at him and said, "Lao Tzu is rich, so I don't have to work here anymore, can't I?" ”
What else did Lao Gao say, Mei Lin slapped him.
With a crisp snap, Mei Lin didn't use much strength.
But Lao Gao was fanned by him and spun in a circle, and then fell to the ground, a big tooth flying out of his mouth.
Lao Gao got up from the ground and shouted like a pig, don't go, wait for me!
Then he wailed and went to call someone.
Mei Lin didn't pay much attention to him, just sat down and drank tea in his office.
Ten minutes later, a messy footstep came.
Lao Gao led a group of people and ran back, and he said to the people behind him, that kid is still inside, he beat me just now!
Most of the workers he hired were workers, and there were a few thugs who often drank with him.
Mei Lin also saw them last time, because of Zhao Ziyi's appearance, they didn't dare to make a move.
Seeing that Mei Lin was alone, they wanted to take this opportunity to vent their anger.
Those workers have worked with Mei Lin, they all know him, and they are usually bullied by Lao Gao.
This time he was pulled hard by Lao Gao, and no one really wanted to do it.
The thugs pounced on Mei Lin together.
There are many of them, and if they were before, Mei Lin would not be their opponent at all.
This time is different, Mei Lin has inexhaustible strength in his body.
In his eyes, those people were much slower.
The fist was far away from him, and Mei Lin had already dodged it easily.
At the same time, a punch hit the opponent's stomach, and the man's mouth spurted blood, and he flew far away.
In just a few faces, a few thugs found by Lao Gao had already fallen to the ground, wailing and unable to get up.
It was the first time that Mei Lin felt so happy in a fight.
He strode up to Lao Gao, and Lao Gao didn't expect Mei Lin to suddenly become so powerful.
Everyone else was far away, and it was too late for him to run.
Mei Lin grabbed Lao Gao's collar with one hand, and slapped his other half of the face with the other.
Lao Gao's face immediately swollen, and he begged loudly for mercy.
At this time, someone brought Manager Zhao over.
Unlike Lao Gao, Manager Zhao usually takes care of Mei Lin.
Mei Lin let go of his hand, and Lao Gao sat on the ground all of a sudden.
Now he was really scared by Mei Lin, covering his mouth and not daring to say anything.
Manager Zhao said to Mei Lin, Brother Mei, there is something wrong with Lao Gao, but he has also been punished, so you can let him go.
Mei Lin nodded and said, as long as he doesn't come to mess with me, I won't trouble him.
After saying that, he walked towards the outside of the gate.
Manager Zhao followed and walked out and asked him, do you really want to do anything with Ding Qi?
Mei Lin nodded and said, of course, I will not regret what I promised.
Manager Zhao was silent for a while before he said, "I advise you to leave quickly, the farther you go, the better."
You may not know that Ding Qi is very powerful, and the Zhang family is supporting him in the back.
You can't beat him at all. ”
Mei Lin stopped and said, "I also know this, it is because Ding Qi was instructed by the Zhang family that I will not give up." ”
Seeing his resolute look, Manager Zhao knew that he couldn't stop him, so he just said, then you should be more careful.
Because Mei Lin offended Lao Gao, the co-workers who had a good relationship with him didn't come out to see him off for fear of getting into trouble.
Only Pang Guang followed, and he reluctantly asked, where are you going? You're gone, and I'm left alone in the shed.
Mei Lin patted him on the shoulder and said, "If I can make a show one day, I will definitely not forget you." ”
Pang Guang said helplessly, as long as you can be safe, I will rest assured.
Mei Lin nodded at him, and then left the construction site.
There were still two days left before the agreement with Ding Qi, and Mei Lin did not leave the provincial capital, but found a hotel to live in.
Feeling that the aura in his body was becoming more and more abundant day by day, he also had some bottom in his heart.
Master's figure appeared and said to him, "You have some strength now, I can teach you some of the things in Luban's book." ”
It's true? Hearing her words, a look of surprise appeared in Mei Lin's eyes.
He flipped through the Luban book a few times, but he still didn't know any of the words in it.
The master said that he would teach him what was inside, and Mei Lin was of course very happy.
Master told him that with your current strength, you can only learn some entry-level techniques.
The technique that Master taught him was called puppetry.
The main use is wood fiber, which can be used to control the wooden people, and when the strength reaches a certain level, it can even overtake the living people.
Mei Lin was very interested, and carefully remembered the method of using puppetry that the master told him.
Mei Lin's talent is very good, but in two days, he has learned almost little.
On the morning of the third day, he packed his things and went to the gate of the construction site.
The story of Mei Lin and Ding Qi's appointment to fight has long been spread nearby.
Everyone is very curious, because Ding Qi is the number one person in Beicang.
Everyone wants to know what kind of character they can fight with Ding Qi.
More importantly, there is an unwritten rule here.
If he can defeat Ding Qi, then Beicang's territory is his.
Before the appointed time, the gate of the construction site was full of people.
Mei Lin carried a box containing carpenter's tools on his back and walked over this direction.
Someone knew him and whispered that the person who had made an appointment with Ding Qi was here!
When they saw him dressed, everyone immediately lost interest.
Someone said very dejectedly, "It turns out that he is just a little carpenter, and it is impossible for him to be Ding Qi's opponent at all." ”
"This young man is too self-conscious, he actually dares to do something with Ding Qi!"
"Another one who is asking for hardship."
While everyone was talking, Mei Lin had already reached the center of the crowd.
He didn't care what the people around him were talking about, he didn't even look at them, he stood alone in the middle of the crowd.
A few minutes later, a roar of cars came over and a row of black cars drove up.
The crowd flashed to the side, the car stopped, and Zhang Yuan stepped out of the car.
He was followed by Zhang Yongfeng and several followers.
Zhang Yongfeng glanced at Mei Lin and said disdainfully, I really don't know whether to live or die, I dare to come!
Zhang Yuan's expression was very flat, and he also felt that Mei Lin was sent to death.
As the cars drove one by one, Zhao Ziyi and Zhao Yuhan also rushed over under the crowd of his subordinates.
Mei Lin didn't expect them to come, it seems that the influence of this fight is really not small.
It's just that they didn't come.
Zhao Ziyi was talking to Zhang Yuan in a low voice, occasionally glancing at Mei Lin, as if talking about him.
Zhao Ziyi occasionally sneered in a low voice, as if he was laughing at Mei Lin's inadequacy.
Zhao Yuhan stood next to Zhang Yongfeng, and they talked very happily.
Zhao Yuhan chuckled in a low voice, not taking Mei Lin's victory or defeat seriously at all.
Mei Lin's hands were crossed together, and her nails were embedded in the flesh.
He secretly made up his mind that he would never lose this time, and he would never let others look down on him!
