Text 1. The Old Man Comes (1)
Lin Yufei slowly opened his eyes, but did not move.
It wasn't entirely because of the dream just now, it was just a habit he had developed a long time ago. He has been anemia for a long time since he can remember, and when he gets up in a hurry, his eyes will be black and even faint. Although there are no such problems after years of cultivation, the habit has already been formed. Of course, there is another small reason.
After he was fully awake, he closed his eyes again and said silently in his heart: "Three, two, one!" Then an angry roar came up from downstairs on time, penetrating through the crack in the door and piercing directly into his ear: "Lin Yufei, get up!!"
This voice is actually very good, if you change the normal tone, it will always make people look like a fresh and lovely girl, in fact, the owner of this voice does fit this image. But this roar just now carried the momentum of a lioness, even if Lin Yufei had been prepared, he was still frightened, and a carp jumped up and hurriedly went downstairs. He didn't want to hear it again.
So, in just three minutes, the neatly dressed Lin Yufei quickly appeared at the dining table, quietly eating the breakfast that had already been placed there, as if he had not just come over, but had already sat there.
Unfortunately, this did not meet the approval of that person. With the sound of hurried footsteps, a bowl of steaming porridge slammed into Lin Yufei's hand, and a few drops splashed out made his hand shrink. A few seconds later, there was one more person on the other side of the table.
Ear-length short hair, delicate melon seed face, delicate facial features, white shirt and jeans, but a plain white apron hanging on the chest. The owner of this body did not start eating at the moment, but glared at Lin Yufei angrily: "Do you want to calculate the time so accurately every day? If you get up ten minutes early, you will die? Doesn't it mean that your boss already has an opinion on you, and then you are not afraid of being fired! Even if you are not afraid of starving to death, you must consider your old sister and my life problems! By the way, you don't have to fold the quilt when you come down so quickly, right? Tell you that my vacation is only two days, don't expect me to clean up for you again, I still have to pack up my things for school......
Lin Yufei didn't reply very sensibly, but used the fastest speed to eliminate the breakfast in front of him. Five minutes later, he interrupted the machine-gun nagging of the girl opposite, "I'm full!" and quickly got up and changed his shoes.
"Did you listen to me! I told you you'd better go up and fold the quilt now!" The girl continued to be unrelenting, but Lin Yufei did not move. He quickly put on his shoes and opened the door, interrupting the girl's rambling again: "I'll fold the quilt when I come back." Let's eat. Those who know that you are my sister, and those who don't know that you are my mother!" and quickly closed the door, closing the door in the door of the upcoming roar.
Yes, the one inside is his sister Lin Yifei, and his only relative now. At the age of twelve, his parents died in an accident, and he had to take on the responsibility of taking care of his sister before graduating from junior high school. After more than ten years of hard work, coupled with the help of the people around him, he finally supported it. As his life gradually stabilized, and Lin Yufei reached the age where he could work, his life finally improved. Now, relying on his diligence, he finally passed the adult college entrance examination and got a college degree, and he also has a fixed position in a construction company in the county, which can be regarded as stable. But as his nagging sister said, he is not good at interpersonal relationships, and his current job is not nine out of ten, so he doesn't really care about being late.
However, God seems to like to make fun of the unlucky man, his second-hand mountain bike has a flat tire, he hurries to the bus stop only to catch the exhaust of the bus, and he has to wait half an hour for the next trip, and his house is so remote that he can't even see a taxi. Looking at the watch, being late is simply doomed.
Lin Yufei sighed helplessly and looked back and forth. At this time, it is indeed relatively late, the rush hour of work has passed, and the streets are empty and there are no people in sight. He took a few deep breaths and muttered in a very low voice, "Whatever, no one should be able to see him." Take a gamble!"
At this time, a chuckle suddenly sounded in my ears, and it was fleeting. Lin Yufei turned back in horror, the street was still empty, and there was no one there. "It's a thief. He sighed, then took a deep breath, his figure flickering. In the middle of his breath, he was already at the street corner beyond Rich.
This is his secret, and even his old sister Lin Yifei never knows. The man who had taught him had told him very harshly that he should never use it until he had obtained permission.
In this way, the speed is even faster than taking the bus. I finally rushed to the vicinity of the construction site where I went to work before the point, and looked at the watch, and the time was still two minutes away. "Step in the door again," he muttered, and walked briskly back to the construction site in his normal manner. The gate of the construction site closed behind him, so he didn't see it, and in a corner opposite the construction site, a tall man wearing a trench coat and a hood over his head flashed out. He looked at the banner of "Yunjing Community Project Department of Yunshan County No. 1 Construction Company" on the top of the gate, laughed lightly, and then his figure flashed slightly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
Lin Yufei put down the instrument in his hand, turned around and sat on the wooden bed next to him, lying down in a paralyzed state, stretching hard. As a surveyor and quality inspector on the construction site, he has to run back and forth with instruments on several buildings on the construction site every day. The time is about to enter winter, and the workers at this point are cleaning up and leaving work, and everyone else in the office is gone, and he is the only one. So he didn't care about the image anymore, lying on the bed on all fours, ready to paralyze a little, and then pack up and go home. There was a knock on the door, and it opened, and a thin old man poked his head in.
"Xiaolin, aren't you going home yet, they're all gone!"
"Got it, Uncle Hu, let's clean it up!" Lin Yufei hurriedly got up. This is the old janitor of the construction site, and if he comes to urge, it means that the workers have all gone, and he can close the door when he leaves, "I'll clean up the instruments and leave immediately." ”
"Then you should hurry," the old man replied satisfied, and withdrew. Lin Yufei didn't hesitate any longer, put the instrument down with his hands and feet, and was just about to turn around when the knock on the door rang again.
"Just leave Uncle Hu," Lin Yufei turned his head in response, and then was stunned for a moment.
The door opened, but no one came in, and he went to the door to see that there was no one outside. At this time, the sky was already dark, the night light at the door was already on, and the figure of Old Man Hu with a flashlight was swaying at the door of the building dozens of meters away. Other than that, there was no one in the light.
There was no wind, and there was a knock on the door just now. It only took two or three seconds from the side of the bed to the door, and there was no shelter at least twenty meters under the doorway light. Lin Yufei was stunned for a moment and began to be alert. At this time, he heard a faint voice.
Ordinary people will not react to this kind of sound, because the sound is almost the same as what is coming, and ordinary people cannot react at all. But those who have been practicing hard all year round can distinguish it, because it is the sound of a relatively sharp object flying rapidly in the air!
Lin Yufei subconsciously stretched out his head to the side and grabbed the object in his hand. It was a thin steel bar about a meter long, which looked like it was picked up from a scrap pile at this construction site. He immediately looked at the way the steel bar came from, and just saw a dark shadow in the dark place outside the gate of the construction site.
Lin Yufei did not hesitate, and took the office door with his hand, his figure flashed, and he was already standing on the side of the road outside the gate. However, it was this momentary delay that the road had returned to normal. Yunshan County is a small city, and the construction site is very remote, and the workers are scattered, and there are only scattered pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, a car flashed, but the dark shadow just now had apparently hidden itself well.
"This way. ”
Just as Lin Yufei shook his head and was about to leave, a deep male voice sounded in his ears. This voice was very low, Lin Yufei could barely hear it after more than ten years of penance, and the two young people who passed by him at the same time obviously did not react. Lin Yufei was stunned for a moment, followed the direction of the sound, walked to a dark place on the opposite side of the road at a normal pace, and then jumped lightly to the roof, quickly crossed several rows of bungalows, and landed in the grove behind the house. At the moment when he landed, a black shadow came out of the grass dozens of steps ahead of him, and rushed forward silently. But this time, he obviously didn't hide what he meant, just kept a straight line and flew forward.
Lin Yufei said secretly, and then he no longer had any scruples, paused slightly, and quietly blessed himself with a little breeze, and his speed increased sharply, catching up. Yunshan County is built by the mountain, behind is a small branch of the Taihang Mountains, there is only one mountain in front, the local people call Xiaoyun Mountain, the mountain is full of forests, no one has ever entered at night. The two of them went one after the other, and it was Xiaoyun Mountain that went to them.
The speed of that person was extremely fast, and Lin Yufei had no scruples in the night, and let go of his speed to catch up with all his might. In just two or three minutes, the two figures spanned a distance of more than ten miles and had reached the top of Xiaoyun Mountain. Seeing that figure stopped in an abandoned courtyard on the top of the mountain, Lin Yufei also slowed down and came behind the man.
This is the only building on Xiaoyun Mountain. It was originally a small Taoist temple, and it is said that there were still a few Taoist priests in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but it has been abandoned for a long time now. There is already an empty shelf left on the roof of the Taoist temple, and the surrounding earthen fence is not in shape, and the shape of the wall is completely invisible, but it looks like several mounds of earth. The weeds in the yard are more than half a person high, and there are a few old elm trees scattered around, all of which are the thickness of one person's hug, and now it is the beginning of winter, and the trees and grass are only dry branches. The man ignored Lin Yufei, who was following him, and just walked to an old elm tree, stretched out his hand and touched the trunk a few times, and then turned around. Lin Yufei only then realized that he had a few more pieces of dry bark in his hand. There was no movement from him, but a few flashes of lightning flashed in his palm, and the bark burned on its own, illuminating the man's face.
