Boss Lu's furniture store was still as deserted as ever, I took Liu Xiaohui into the store, there was still no one at the counter, but the sound of cutting wood came from the backyard.

Over the years, the carpentry work in the store was done by Boss Lu alone, and the proprietress didn't care about anything, locking herself upstairs all day long, and only occasionally going out during the New Year's holidays.

I asked Liu Xiaohui to wait downstairs, and then I went to the second floor alone.

On the second floor of the furniture store, in addition to the dining room and two bedrooms, there is also a windowless room, and the only TV in the store is also in it.

I came to the hut and knocked on the door, and immediately the voice of the proprietress came from inside: "I'm losing weight, you can get something to eat yourself." ”

She must have mistaken me for Lao Lu.

I knocked on the door twice more and said, "Boss, I'm Xiao Zhang." ”

Footsteps were immediately heard in the room, and soon the door was opened, and the proprietress looked me up and down, and then frowned: "Why did you come without making a sound?" ”

I smiled: "I just went back to the furniture city today to do some business, so I wanted to come over for a meal, and by the way, I asked if the diesel car was sent back." ”

The proprietress gave me a push and told me to back off, then slowly walked out and carefully closed the door.

During this time, she kept blocking the crack in the door with her body, and I couldn't see inside the house.

It wasn't until the door was locked that she turned around and smiled at me: "A week ago, Jin Xiangqian sent the car back. ”

I said, "You and Jin Xiangqian should be very acquainted, right?" ”

The proprietress glanced at me, and the expression on her face became a little unnatural: "I don't know you, I didn't know what his name was when he came to his home." ”

I didn't want to continue to hide it, so I asked directly: "Boss, you are also a person in the industry, right?" ”

The proprietress looked at me in a daze, and after a long time, she suddenly smiled: "You have been to your house for more than a year, and you have grown a lot." ”

As she spoke, she deliberately glanced at the corridor, as if she was worried that Lao Lu would suddenly appear.

I took a bottle of mineral water from the freezer, smiled and asked the proprietress "Are you really a person in the trade?" ”

The proprietress sighed: "Actually, I knew when you went back to your house that you would guess my identity sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so soon." I don't know what you've been through for more than a year, and how you've grown so fast. ”

In the past, when I was in the store, I rarely talked to the proprietress because I hated her, but because she always hid herself on the second floor, and I rarely had the opportunity to meet her.

She took out some fruit from the refrigerator, put together a fruit bowl on the dining table, and beckoned to me again: "These things are all sent back from Hainan by Xiaoqing, come, try it." ”

I've always heard that Lao Lu has a daughter, it seems to be called Lu Qing or Lu Qing'er, I haven't seen a real person, but the proprietress often mentions the name "Xiaoqing", and Lao Lu usually calls her "Qing'er".

I sat down at the table and the hostess asked me again, "How did you know my identity?" ”

I smiled helplessly: "Boss, why are you so calm when your identity is exposed by me?" I thought you'd be surprised, or deny it or something. ”

The proprietress sat across from me and smiled at me: "It's all exposed anyway, what's the use of me denying it." Come, tell me, how did you see through me? ”

I thought about it for a while and said: "The last time I came back to borrow a car, I felt that something was wrong with you, this year, I have changed so much, with the temperament you usually show, you should be very surprised, maybe you see that I mix well, and you will take the opportunity to stammer me, but at that time, your performance was too calm, just like now." ”

The proprietress took a mangosteen from the fruit bowl and, as she handed it to me, said, "But how can you be sure that I am one of the trades?" ”

I said: "I remember when I came to the furniture store to look for a job, Lao Lu thought that I was too heavy and didn't want to accept me, but the proprietress took the idea and kept me." And at that time, Boss Lu didn't know that the furniture store had posted recruitment information on the Internet, since he didn't know, that information must have been posted by you, but you have never been very concerned about the affairs of the store, why did you suddenly want to recruit small workers? In addition, I have heard Boss Lu say that there were many people who came to work before me, and everyone's conditions were better than mine, but they were all driven away by you. ”

The proprietress raised her eyebrows: "So what?" ”

I said, "So, that job posting is for me, and the key piece of information is also posted on our school forum, except for people like me, who else will drive more than an hour from the big east end of the city to the west to do a part-time job?" ”

"But there are still a lot of people who come to apply." The proprietress smiled: "But these people, they can't work for long, I know at a glance that they just want to work part-time during the winter and summer vacations, get a month's salary and leave." ”

I asked her, "It's not just because you're driving them away?" ”

"Of course not," the proprietress sighed and said to me, "I'll tell you the truth, it was the family who asked me to find a way to get you to the furniture store, which is close to the old house of the family, and if anything happens to you, they can take care of it." ”

Speaking of this, the proprietress paused, and after a moment asked me, "If not, you wouldn't have always thought that until you returned to the old lady's house, no one in the industry knew about your existence, did you?" ”

I scratched my temple: "Isn't it?" ”

The proprietress shook her head: "Do you remember Pang Yinglong?" ”

I smiled helplessly: "We may not remember, he is my junior high school homeroom teacher, I remember that in the years when I was in junior high school, he troubled me almost every day, and used my business to feel sorry for my second uncle." ”

Boss: "Don't you think Pang Yinglong is very strange?" ”

I immediately understood what the proprietress meant: "You mean, Pang Yinglong is also a person in the industry?" ”

The proprietress nodded: "He is my junior brother, your high school principal Song Changying, is my senior brother." Including the director of the academic affairs office when you were in elementary school, he was also sent by his family. In fact, over the years, the family has been secretly taking care of you, but at that time, you were not a person in the industry after all, and the family was not easy to manage too leniently, most of the time just to ensure your safety, and did not interfere in other things. ”

Originally, I thought that she would be very surprised if I came to expose the identity of the boss lady this time, but I didn't expect that the person who was surprised was actually me.

Listen to her, I have grown so big, and I have always had eyeliner placed by my family around me.

I know that the word eyeliner seems to have a bit of a derogatory connotation, but if you look back and think about it, whether it is my homeroom teacher in junior high school, the principal in high school, or the proprietress of high school, to put it bluntly, isn't it the eyeliner of the family, is it still a bodyguard if it is not eyeliner?

At this time, the proprietress said to me again: "Actually, the family didn't want too many people to know about you, but Zhang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain said that you are too important to our industry, and a single family can't protect you, on the contrary, before you are nineteen years old, the more you know your sect, and the more colleagues you have to do with you, the safer you will be." ”

I smiled a little awkwardly: "I'm important to our business? Is it because I'm a yin? ”

"You weren't born to be yin, and no one is sure who the next yin in the industry will be until you bring out your true nature."

When the proprietress said this, I was thinking, it seems that she knows a lot more about me than I thought.

The proprietress then said to me: "In fact, since the day you were born, you are destined to no longer be able to follow the path that the older generation has walked, this is your destiny. ”

I couldn't help but wonder, "What do you mean, I don't understand." ”

The proprietress asked me: "Do you know about Dayu's water control?" ”

"Of course you know, isn't that a myth?"

"It's not a myth, it's history." The proprietress said very solemnly: "In order to control the floods in the world, Dayu once buried nine yang veins under the Beibi Mountain, and before you were born, seven of the nine yang veins had dried up. That is, on the night of Su Yao's labor, Zhang Zhenren noticed that there was a vision in the sky, and immediately asked people to check at the foot of Beibi Mountain, and sure enough, he found that among the only two remaining yang veins, one of them dried up instantly, and just when the yang veins turned into dry soil, the old man's eyeliner hidden next to your father came with news - Su Yao gave birth smoothly, and you were born. ”

I habitually scratched my temples: "You're talking too much, aren't you?" ”

The proprietress smiled: "Believe it or not." In fact, it's not just that you were born with a yang vein, the last of the nine yang veins also dried up in 87, that day was the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the Double Ninth Festival, which happened to be the day Zuo Youdao was born. ”

It's Zuo Youdao again, and recently someone has been mentioning this person in front of me.

I spread my hands: "But what does this mean?" ”

"I don't know what I can say," the proprietress said uncertainly, "But Zuo Youdao has some talents that others don't have, he is born with heavenly eyes, and he is the only person who can urge the Fantian seal in the past two thousand years." And you, too, were born with strange veins. I don't think it's any ordinary coincidence. By the way, I heard the second master say that you have already obtained a Netherworld Treasure, and that thing should have become different when it comes to you, right? ”

I was still thinking just now, is the Fantian seal she mentioned the Fantian seal in the god list? At this time, I heard the second half of the proprietress's words, so I responded: "I still don't know how to urge the Netherworld Tongbao, but I heard Yan Yanan say that the Netherworld Tongbao seems to recognize me as the master." ”

The proprietress suddenly widened her eyes: "Recognize the master?" Netherworld Treasure actually recognized the Lord? From the Tang Dynasty to the present more than 1,000 years, there has never been such a bad thing as you. A few years ago, Fantian Yin recognized the Lord, and now even the Netherworld Tongbao also recognizes the Lord, which is definitely not a simple coincidence. Maybe...... The words that Zhang Zhenren said back then have begun to come true. ”
