CHAPTER XXIII

The weird old man who pierced the Transformers

————————

Regarding Boss Cai's sudden change in tone, Lin Fei couldn't calm down in time for a while, and he had already followed Boss Cai to walk inside.

"Most of the things in our shop are made by my master, and his craftsmanship is well-known in Shili Eight Street!" Boss Cai explained to Lin Fei: "Before I make you what you want, how many words does he want to ask you?" ”

Ask me what?

Lin Fei was a little uneasy in his heart, he watched as he first walked through a short and narrow corridor under the leadership of Boss Cai, which had a little moldy and pungent smell, and the width of the corridor could only accommodate two people walking side by side.

The corridor is narrow, but the temperature in the corridor is strangely low, as if on the other side of the two walls are two large ice reservoirs with extremely low temperatures.

Lin Fei stretched out a finger and touched the wall, his skin touched the wall, and he shrank back with a tight, "whoosh" sound, and the whole person shook violently.

"I'm rubbing! The walls are as cold as ice from the North Pole! ”

But when I looked closely at the wall under this faint light, I found that it was an ordinary blue brick wall, and there was nothing too different.

Lin Fei continued to follow the state in front of him suspiciously, as always, to Boss Cai, who had a contemptuous attitude, Lin Fei walked through the cold corridor to a room full of debris, and the local temperature rose a lot in an instant, but it still remained in the range of minus a few degrees. He couldn't help but shrink his neck into his clothes, and only his two eyes were exposed, and he saw that there were already several people standing in the room.

Could it be that these people are all the masters of the paper-binding people in the store?

But it doesn't look like it!

Two of the three people in front of him were wearing uniform uniforms. I could clearly see that there were obvious strange signs on their shoulders, and that kind of logo made Lin Fei immediately think of the armbands worn on the shoulders of Captain Zhang and Liu Yang in the North District Bureau, which had obvious rank marks! But which department does this sign belong to? Lin Fei didn't know, but he was just curious why this armband had such a retro feeling, and Lin Fei found that the expressions of the two people in front of him were as if they were painted on their faces, without surprise or joy, as if they would never smile bitterly.

followed Boss Cai into the house, and the two of them actually looked over here. The two strange guys who originally made Lin Fei think that they would not have any expression actually showed such an extremely subtle change in expression, like ...... Wary! No! It's nervous......

The two of them subconsciously took two steps back at the same time, which made Boss Cai, who had seen them hurriedly bow his head in respect, and whispered "Huh" in doubt.

Looking at it again, the two of them hurriedly said a few words towards the back of Lin Fei and Boss Cai, but when they opened their mouths to say this, they only saw their mouths open and did not hear a sound. Is it too far away to be heard?

But the distance of four or five meters is not far, so you can hear some movement!

Lin Fei looked at the back and nodded slightly, and then the two of them made a move, passed through Lin Fei's side at a speed that disappeared in an instant, and left.

But Lin Fei didn't know why he always felt that when the two people passed by him, they seemed to deliberately avoid two steps, and deliberately lowered their heads, muttering to themselves in their hearts: Could it be that I am so handsome that I scare them? It shouldn't be!

Just when Lin Fei was muttering in his heart, the third person who only saw the back finally spoke, his voice was old, needless to say, it must be an elderly person:

"Young man, if you see something, you have to treat it as if you didn't see it."

"Huh?"

Lin Fei didn't understand what this person meant, and followed Boss Cai to him a few steps closer. This is the official owner who saw the back was an old man, and he couldn't say what he felt, although it was ordinary, but it made people always feel that this old man was a person who had experienced the world. The marks left by the years on his face are not deep, but they also make him look like he is in his early fifties, and he thinks that he is a few years older than his master Lao Hu.

"Otherwise, they'll follow you."

The old man carefully took a look at Lin Fei's appearance, and carefully scanned Lin Fei's whole body. made Lin Fei only feel as if he had been seen through.

"Oh!" Out of politeness, Lin Fei nodded towards the old man, although he didn't understand what the old man meant by what he said? But answering with an "oh" should be barely perfunctory! Because he really couldn't stand it, the old man stared at him with such a look of expectation and scrutiny.

Boss Cai lowered his head to the old man and whispered a few words. Lin Fei took advantage of this moment to see what the old man was busy with in his hands?

Then he roared in his heart:

"I'll rub!"

Lin Fei didn't dare to make a sound, but his expression told everyone, he was very surprised, and his mouth was difficult to close in surprise. Because...... What he saw was something he could never have dreamed of in his life!

"Transformers?"

This old man is actually tying a paper transformer! What a surprise in my heart! Suddenly, I realized that I saw a headless ghost a few days ago! Let the female ghost stay in her own house! The female corpse grabbed her hand! Compared with the old man in front of him, these things are simply weak!

"I said, sir, how trendy you are! You still know about Transformers! Then you must know Avatar too, right? I don't know which family it is, is it my own child who died? I even came here to order one like this! Lin Fei nodded and exclaimed in his heart: This must be the case!

Just when Lin Fei was there with a surprised expression because he saw that the old man was actually piercing a transformer, the old man's eyes suddenly blinked twice after listening to Boss Cai's words.

Seeing him raise his head again, his eyes drifted over Lin Fei, and it was that kind of scrutinizing attitude, which made Lin Fei only feel that he was being seen through. made Lin Fei constantly stunned in his heart: "I just want to come over and buy a few clothes, don't look at me like this!" ”

Fortunately, this time it was only a moment, and the old man's gaze returned to the paper Transformer in his hand again, and then asked, "Look, you shouldn't be an insider, right?" ”

"Insider?" Lin Fei was puzzled: "What is an insider?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be!" After hearing Lin Fei's question, the old man laughed softly, then shook his head, and then said, "Young man, what kind of work do you do?" ”

"Forensic ...... Still doing an internship. Lin Fei deliberately added the word "internship" at the end to indicate his current half-hung identity.

"Forensic ...... Fake it, right? The old man snorted, and said in a fluttering tone: "No wonder, the yin qi on the body is so heavy!" ”

Heavy yin? How do you see this? Living in a house with a female ghost, can the yin qi not be heavy?

What is the identity of this old man? How can you know such a thing?

Lin Fei didn't say more than half a word, just looked at the old man vigilantly, and the old man looked at him as if waiting for Lin Fei to answer, and the two were in a stalemate for a long time. In the end, the old man sneered and broke the deadlock......

The old man put down the half-finished Transformer in his hand, got up slowly, and quietly walked to the shelf, where he looked at it for a while, as if he was picking something! In the process, he muttered softly: "I haven't talked so much to people for a long time, and I can talk to you so much today, which is considered that you and I are destined." Since there is fate, I will give you something! ”

Is this old man really funny? Just now he was staring at himself with a complex and elusive look, and now he wants to give himself something instead?

It was already difficult for Lin Fei to figure out whether this old man was a normal person or not, but for some reason, he was curious about what the old man would give him? Still standing there without saying half a word just now, comforting himself in his heart: Since it was sent, how can there be no reason not to? It's better than some people, not only didn't send it, but also made a big pit for themselves!

Then he subconsciously glanced at Boss Cai with disdainful eyes!

The old man's hand finally stopped on the third floor of the shelf, and he took out a jade pendant wearing a red rope from the cabinet covered with a thin layer of ash.

In Lin Fei's memory, there have always been roughly three kinds of jade pendants: Guanyin, Mida Buddha, or Buddha......

But the jade pendant in the old man's hand turned out to be the appearance of a Taoist tribute immortal master, which is really strange...... Could it be that the regions are different and the sects they believe in are different, so the appearance of this jade pendant is also different?

It's just that there are so many Taoist halls in the world, and those statues are almost exactly the same in Lin Fei's opinion, what's the difference! Naturally, it is difficult to know which immortal this jade pendant is carved from......

Taishang Laojun? Not like! There's no dust!

Too platinum star? Not like that! That old guy seems to be a little kinder!

Yuan Shi Tianzun? That's even less so! This is an ancestor-level figure, majestic and shocking, but how can this person in front of him look like a wild Taoist priest who travels all over the world?

……

Looking at this jade pendant is only half the size of a little finger, although it is a miscellaneous jade, but the hand is finely carved, as if from everyone's hands. Lin Fei took the statue from the old man's hand, the temperature on the jade was not only not as cold as he imagined, but also warm, could it be that the old man rubbed it with his hand just now, and the friction produced a little temperature. Seeing Lin Fei accept the jade pendant, the old man instructed again: "Although it is not a first-class treasure jade, it is still possible to hang on your body and block small disasters!" ”

"Thank you!" Lin Fei saw that the old man was also a good intention, and hurriedly nodded at the old man.

The old man continued: "As for your custom-made clothes. I'll do it in a while, and after I'm done, I'll help you burn it, and it will soon be received by the dead! ”

"Thank you!" Lin Fei thanked the old man again. Then, he turned to look at Boss Cai and asked him, "Boss, help calculate how much these things cost?" ”

Boss Cai opened his mouth and said: "A thousand ......"

Lin Fei was about to scold this Boss Cai in his heart when he was cheating on his own money again, when the old man suddenly interrupted Boss Cai's words:

"No need! It's for you! ”

"Send me (send him)?"

Lin Fei and the young boss stared at the old man with an incredulous, shocked expression at the same time.

The old man smiled faintly: "Looking at you, I am quite fateful, these are regarded as a friendship between you and me!" ”

Lin Fei looked at the old man with a stiff expression on his face:

Destined? Friendship?

Uncle, are you asking me to say that you are a good person? Or is it a brain pump?

This seems to be the words of people who run the rivers and lakes, right? What the is this era, you and I have such lines in a costume TV series, what are you trying to do?

Am I not a rich second generation? Isn't it the second generation of officials? Even if I owe you a favor, I don't have much ability to pay it back in the future!

But looking at the old man's affirmative expression, it was like saying again: You must have the ability to pay back.

Lin Fei didn't say thank you, but scratched his head and said expressionlessly: "Oh! Then I owe you a favor, and I will repay it with all my strength in the future! ”

After saying that, he escaped from the paper shop with a smoke, he really didn't want to stay in this strange shop, especially by the side of the strange old man.

In contrast, although the greedy boss is greedy for money, he looks more or less like a normal person. But that old man, why is he so elusive with Lao Hu? And who's going to do that? …… By the way, Fifth Brother? This guy has been gone for days, and I haven't seen any news come back!

……

After Lin Fei left the paper shop, the money-hungry Boss Cai asked the old man almost unacceptably: "I said old man, you are not mistaken!" He asked for so many things, and you gave them to him for nothing? ”

The old man suddenly sneered: "Have I ever given someone something to others for nothing in my life?" ”
