Chapter IV

Solitaire, charms

――――――――

On the long bluestone pavement, there were two gentle footsteps of "tick, tick". From near and far!

The faint coughing sound, although it was trying to keep the voice as low as possible, could still be clearly heard through the streets and alleys.

Lin Fei, who was a little haggard, came to the door of the paper shop with white paper lanterns hanging at the door of the house with Liu Yang's support. It's still the same kind of goods that are placed at the door, and it's still the boss who continues to lie on the counter and be lazy because of the scarcity of customers.

Looking at the eerie paper shop in front of him, Liu Yang felt uncomfortable, and he asked Lin Fei on the side, "Do you have to come now?" Can we wait until daylight tomorrow to come back? ”

Lin Fei laughed evilly: "Can you use your brain?" Daytime? Is it open during the day? ”

After speaking, Lin Fei stepped into the paper shop in two steps, and looked at Boss Cai, who was still lazy sleeping, with his hand on the counter. I couldn't help but knock on the table a few times and shouted, "Dear, can you not sleep every time?" Sooner or later, someone will steal everything? ”

"People don't dare to steal!" Boss Cai opened his eyes and looked at Lin Fei and grinned: "It's the idea that the ghost will fight here!" ”

After speaking, he noticed Liu Yang, who was standing at the door with a slightly restrained attitude, stared at him curiously, and then asked with a smile: "This little brother is surrounded by official spirits!" Looks like it's supposed to be someone from an official family, right? ”

"He's a police officer in the North District Bureau!" Lin Fei replied.

"No wonder!" Boss Cai continued to grin: "I see that he is full of red light, I'm afraid he has been prosperous recently!" ”

"Boss Cheng Jiyan, where did I get the red light from a little policeman?" Liu Yang smiled modestly.

"I only look at people well, not evil!" Boss Cai smiled: "I said that if you have a prosperous official fortune, you will have a prosperous official fortune!" ”

Then his gaze returned to Lin Fei: "Mr. Lin, you plan to come here to pick up the goods this time, right?" ”

Lin Fei nodded: "How is it?" Is that thing ready? ”

Boss Cai continued to smile: "It's not just done! And you're sure you're satisfied! ”

After speaking, he led the two of them inside, and on the way, he did not forget to praise: "However, it is the first time I have seen someone who can make that thing into such a virtue, you are really a genius!" ”

"Compared with Boss Cai, that's far behind!"

Lin Fei and Boss Cai sang and said in harmony.

After the long and narrow passage through Guò, Lin Fei came to the room where Mr. Cai's paper products were made again. It was the familiar back of the rickety, Lin Fei immediately bowed to the strange old man and greeted: "Senior Lin Fei, meet the old man!" ”

Liu Yang on the side also hurriedly followed, he understood that even Lin Fei attached such importance to any person, it would definitely not be simple.

The strange old man waved his hand without looking back, and said in the old voice: "Since there are injuries on the body, there is no need for this kind of sentimental courtesy!" ”

"Mr. Xie!" Lin Fei thanked him.

Liu Yang on the side was stunned: I'll wipe it! Such a powerful old guy, without even looking at it, he knew that Lin Fei was injured! Could it be that this old guy knew about it in advance?

At this time, the strange old man spoke again: "You come closer, I'll feel the pulse and see what trick your kid has hit?" ”

When Lin Fei heard this, he immediately rolled up his sleeves, walked to the strange old man, looked at the strange old man with expectation, and thought to himself: Since he doesn't look at me, he can directly perceive that I am injured, there must be some way to save me, right?

It's just that Lin Fei was soon disappointed

"You kid is really unlucky, I didn't expect to be out on the field, since you got hit by such a powerful thing?" The strange old man turned around and said with a pale face: "No wonder as soon as you enter the door, I listen to your breath, this thing is not so easy to treat!" ”

Lin Fei asked eagerly, "Can the old gentleman have any treatment?" ”

"I can't cure this!" The strange old man hurriedly shook his head and said, "The person who gave you the trick is far above me in strength. I can't get rid of this thing! I can remind you a few words: It's best not to get close to women in the near future! That's all! ”

After Lin Fei heard this, he could only smile bitterly: "Old man, do I look like someone who likes to be close to women?" ”

"You kid has a lot of peach blossoms, it's hard to get close!" Mr. Cai said: "Remember that if you want to live, you must not get close to women!" ”

All right!

Lin Fei withdrew his arm and sighed helplessly: If you don't get close to women, you won't be close! Anyway, I'm not a rare woman!

Although the old gentleman looked at Lin Fei with disappointment on his face, he was not too out of shape. Then he said: "Relax, this thing may have died long ago if it was put on someone else!" But maybe it's a good thing for you, maybe it's okay? ”

"Hopefully?" Lin Fei smiled bitterly again.

The strange old man immediately turned the corner, took out a box from the shelf, and said, "Come and see your goods, right?" ”

then

What Liu Yang paid the most attention to happened.

He really wanted to know what it was that made Lin Fei come here to pick up the goods in person despite his illness, but when the strange old man opened the box, he was instantly disappointed to the top!

"Solitaire?" Liu Yang said with an extremely exaggerated expression: "You kid will come here with these two decks of cards?" ”

Liu Yang pointed to the two decks of poker in the strange old man's box and said, "Did you say it earlier?" If you want solitaire, I can buy 100 pays! ”

Lin Fei smiled: "You can see clearly, this is not an ordinary card. This is my newly invented charm! ”

Liu Yang said in disbelief after hearing this: "Solitaire? Spell? You're not kidding, are you? Is this a charm? “

Lin Fei said with a serious face: "Yes! I'm newly invented! ”

But seeing that Liu Yang still looked incredulous, Lin Fei immediately pulled out one of the cards from a deck of cards and uncovered the cards in half from the vertical direction. I saw that after the place with the flower characters on the card was removed, a small charm was revealed, which was printed in the sandwich layer of the card.

"Is this really a charm?" Liu Yang took the charm in his hand and said tremblingly: "Or did you invent it?" ”

Lin Fei immediately explained: "It's not that in the first few battles, I found that the disadvantages of traditional talismans are too great. I suffered a lot of losses! Let's not mention that it is easy to crumple at every turn, and it can't see water, and it will be invalid when you see water. So, I had to design this one. Not only is it waterproof, but it's also easy to carry! How nice! ”

Hearing Lin Fei say it so lightly, Liu Yang looked at him dumbfounded: "I can only say one word now!" You cow! You're such a good boy! If you're not going to be a madman, then/really a genius! ”

"It's okay" Lin Fei said with a smile, and then looked at the strange old man: "Even the old gentleman said that, right?" ”

The strange old man just chuckled: "That's right! I've lived most of my life and never dared to question traditional charms, but I didn't expect this culture that has been passed down for thousands of years to be questioned by you, a stinky boy who has just learned Taoism for a few days! ”

This is called: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves are shot to death on the beach sooner or later"
