Chapter 10: The Covenant

"That's a good idea," Zhang Yuan said with great satisfaction, "I have some friendship with Ding Qi from Beicang, so I'll leave this matter to him." ”

Feng Yu said, "This person is a good candidate, Ding Qi controls the northern part of that territory.

But he's a bit pedantic, and I'm afraid he'll do something bad. ”

Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "You are too proud of that little carpenter, without Xiao Zhao's help, he is just a little minion at the mercy of others."

Using Ding Qi to deal with him is also a bit overkill. ”

Good. Feng Yu promised, I will contact Ding Qi to do this.

Zhang Yuan nodded, and then said to Zhang Yongfeng, Feng'er, you don't have to worry, Zhao Yuhan will be yours sooner or later!

Zhang Yongfeng was so happy that he almost jumped up and said, "She has always been lukewarm to me during this time.

If that kid is willing to quit, then Xiaohan will follow me with all his heart. ”

Back at the construction site, Mei Lin was not only not happy, but on the contrary, he was a little depressed.

I can't even solve it as a gangster, let alone protect Zhao Yuhan, and I won't be able to settle in the provincial capital in the future.

He knew that the Zhang family would definitely not stop there.

I don't know what kind of vicious means I will come up with to deal with him.

He clenched his fists vigorously, thinking, I won't throw in the towel like this! I can't disgrace our Mei family! I won't let Zhao Yuhan look down on me!

With his mind in mind, he asked the master, is there a way to improve his strength?

Master said, "There are ways, but it depends on your talent and perseverance."

Otherwise, you'll have to work as a carpenter. ”

Mei Lin said, as long as I can improve my strength, no matter what kind of hardship, I can endure it.

Master said, "It's not enough to be able to endure hardships.

Back then, your Mei family still had some strength, but it was only because of the age that it slowly declined.

In the end, he survived in a small village.

If you want to be strong, you have to start from scratch. ”

Hearing Master mention the origin of the Mei family, Mei Lin was very interested.

But the master refused to say more, and after a while, he asked, "Do you see that wood?"

In one corner, there is a log more than two meters long and more than a foot thick.

Mei Lin walked up to the wood, not knowing what the master said about improving his strength and what it had to do with it.

Master said earnestly, "The reason why a tree can grow from a small seed to a towering tree is because it has a spiritual energy hidden in it.

Of course, different types of trees have different abilities to absorb aura.

If you can use the aura stored in the trees, you will soon be able to become stronger. ”

Listening to what the master said, Mei Lin seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Master continued, "Reiki is something that can be felt, but not touched.

It's hidden in the middle of a tree, and you have to learn how to use it first. ”

Mei Lin asked puzzledly, how can I use them?

Master said, "If you want to use them, you must first find them.

This is also the purpose of my asking you to find the Eight Treasure Glass Tree.

You use a carpentry knife to cut the wood into thin, hair-like threads.

Remember, be sure to keep the most central strand of it.

Because the aura of the trees is stored in it. ”

Mei Lin frowned and looked at the log.

It's not easy to cut it to the size of a human hair.

As if to see his thoughts, the master said coldly, "If you can't even do this."

Then you might as well go back to the village and become a carpenter! ”

Mei Lin gritted his teeth and said, I won't admit defeat!

Master said, I want to see if you are this material, so as to save you a waste of effort!

Mei Lin erected the logs, and then used a carpentry knife to remove the outer skin little by little.

He worked from nightfall until dawn, when the logs were the thickness of a rolling pin.

He was a little exhausted, but he could think of Master's words.

He persisted, and the sawdust flew down like snowflakes, building up a thick layer on the ground.

Lao Gao walked over to this side with his hands behind his back.

He looked at Mei Lin puzzled.

Since he was slapped by Zhao Ziyi last time, he has stayed away from Mei Lin.

He knew that he couldn't afford to mess with this little carpenter who had been pinched casually.

He walked over to the shed and kicked it against the door.

The wooden door was kicked open by him, and he shouted angrily, Pang Guang, when is it, still sleeping lazy, get up and work!

Pang Guang sat up from the bed in a daze and rubbed his eyes.

looked at Lao Gao angrily, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he had to get up and wash.

Lao Gao put his hands behind his back and went to other sheds to call for workers to work.

Watching him walk away, Pang Guang scolded, this week, one day he will have to let the stones that fell from it fall to death!

But he's still going to work.

He looked at Mei Lin with some envy and said, If only when, I could be as free as you.

Mei Lin also knew that if it weren't for Zhao Ziyi's warning, his fate would definitely be worse than Pang Guang.

He didn't have to look at Lao Gao's face anymore.

He smiled, did not speak, and continued to concentrate on the wood in his hand.

By noon, there was only a thin strip of wood left, fluttering in the wind.

It's about to be a success!

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief, the strength in his hand was a little less controllable.

The thin fiber of wood was cut in two by him.

Looking at the half-cut wood fiber pinched in the center of his finger, he shook his head a little frustratedly.

But he couldn't just throw in the towel.

Anyway, there was a lot of wood on the construction site, and he cut the wood into wood fibers one by one.

Mei Lin's talent is very good, and with his continuous efforts, the wood fibers are getting thinner and thinner.

In the end, if you don't look closely, you won't be able to see it at all.

What makes him even more incredible is that as the wood fibers become thinner and thinner.

He could feel a faint cool air emanating from around the wood fibers.

Maybe that's what Master said, the aura hidden in the wood.

Master's tone of voice to him softened a lot, and it seemed that he was still very satisfied with his grades.

The master told him that this was not enough, and that the wood had to be cut so that it was not visible to the naked eye.

Although it was difficult, Mei Lin still persevered.

Time flies quickly, and more than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

In addition to his normal work, Mei Lin spends the rest of his time cutting wood fibers.

At noon that day, he and Pang Guang came out of the construction site and planned to go to the canteen to eat.

Suddenly, he heard his name being called.

Mei Lin took a look, and it turned out to be a worker.

The co-worker told him that someone was looking for him outside the gate.

Mei Lin and Pang Guang walked out of the gate, and there was a large group of people around the gate.

At the edge of the crowd, several black sedans were parked.

In front of the car stood more than a dozen sturdy men dressed in black.

The man at the head had just shaved his head, and his scalp was still a little blue, and he looked like he was about twenty years old.

Lao Gao and Manager Zhao were next to him left and right.

Manager Zhao accosted with a smile, and the other party seemed to have a lot of background.

Mei Lin didn't know him at all, and didn't know why he came to him.

Seeing him coming, Lao Gao said to the man, he is the Mei Lin you are looking for.

The man looked Mei Lin up and down, and said with some disdain, "I thought it was a kind of character, but it turned out to be a working boy."

But what I promised others, I can't talk and don't count. ”

Lao Gao said to Mei Lin, you may not know it, this is Ding Qiye.

Mei Lin walked over and asked, Hello, is there anything to find me?

Ding Qi took a few steps forward and said, Someone looks at you unpleasantly and wants me to clean you up.

Hearing his words, Mei Lin immediately understood.

He had already realized that he must be someone from the Zhang family.

He had been worrying about it, but the day came.

He nodded, and Ding Qi said, "I'm a very fair person, and my territory is fought by my own fists."

So I'll give you a chance too, and we'll have a fair duel in seven days.

If you win, not only will I be at your disposal, but you will also be able to choose the property in my name.

From now on, this territory will be yours!

But if you lose, you'll have to be at my disposal. ”

Hearing his words, the people behind him couldn't help but let out a sneer.

All of them knew that the wage earner in front of him who was covered with sawdust was definitely not the opponent of the Seventh Master.

Ding Qi did this, just because he didn't want others to say that he bullied the weak.

Lao Gao had long seen that Mei Lin was not pleasing to the eye, and he also wanted to use Ding Qi to remove this thorn in his eye.

He said with a smile on the side, "Seventh Master, you are really joking, even if you lend him a gut, he will not dare to do anything with you!" ”

Ding Qi glared at him and said, I'm not joking, if he can beat me, my promise will count!

His eyes were very scary, and Lao Gao quickly stepped aside and didn't dare to speak.

Ding Qi looked at Mei Lin and said, it's okay if you don't want this opportunity, let's do it now!

Looking at the other party's aggressive gaze, Mei Lin had already made up his mind.

He certainly wasn't going to throw in the towel.

He had heard of Ding Qi's name, and Ding Qi was very good at fighting.

He was right, he had indeed fought this territory with his fists.

He fought with Zhang Lei, but after a face, Zhang Lei was knocked out of two front teeth.

Since then, Zhang Lei has never dared to come here again, and has been huddled near the school.

Because of the Zhang family's covering, Ding Qi didn't trouble him again.

Mei Lin said lightly, Okay, I accept your challenge!

Hearing his words, even Ding Qi was stunned.

The surroundings became quiet, and suddenly the people behind Ding Qi laughed together.

Someone said that this kid really doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he dares to do something with the Seventh Master!

Ding Qi was very calm and said, then we will be decided, and in seven days, we will do it here!

Good! Mei Lin nodded and said.

Ding Qi turned around and drove away with his subordinates.

Manager Zhao glanced at Mei Lin and sighed slightly.

He also took care of Mei Lin because of Zhao Ziyi's affection, of course he didn't care about his life and death.

As the crowd dispersed, Mei Lin returned to the shed.

Whether it is real strength or connections, he can't compare with Ding Qi.

He thought of Xiao Zhao, and Xiao Zhao told him that he could ask him for help when he was in trouble.

Although Xiao Zhao may not be used to make a move, Xiao Zhao's strength is very strong, at least he can teach himself two hands, and maybe there is a chance to turn the tables.

With his mind in mind, he hurriedly called Xiao Zhao.

But to his surprise, Xiao Zhao's phone has never been able to get through.

Mei Lin really ran out of ideas at this time, and he sat on the bed blankly.

On this day, he didn't cut the wood fibers, and his heart was in turmoil.

In the morning, Lao Gao walked in with a smile and looked at Mei Lin gloatingly.

He held a handful of white flowers plucked from the weeds.

"No one can save you this time."

With Ding Qi's power, the Zhao family did not dare to participate in this matter.

I'll see how long you can be proud! ”

After speaking, he threw the bouquet of white flowers on Mei Lin's bed and said, "This is given to you in advance."

When you die, for the sake of knowing each other for so long, I'll burn you a few pieces of paper! ”

Mei Lin's lungs were almost blown up, and he suddenly stood up.

Lao Gao turned his head and ran outside the shed, shouting as he ran, "I'm waiting to see you lively, I see how long you can be fierce!" ”

He soon ran away without a shadow.

Mei Lin sat on the bed angrily and scolded secretly, this bastard who fell into a well, I won't let him get his wish!
