Chapter 1: The protagonist is really set like this, which makes sense
The early morning sun sprinkled on the sheets, Wang Cheng opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and habitually picked up his mobile phone to look at the time.
Less than 7 o'clock
Wang Cheng's body that he had wanted to get up lay down again, the humble rental room was sprinkled with the early morning sun, and there were bursts of car engines and bird chirpings outside the door, which should have been accompanied by a relaxed and lazy smell.
But Wang Cheng didn't sleep well, and this lazy and sunny taste did not achieve the desired effect.
I seem to have had a very tiring dream last night, and I remembered it for a long time, but I couldn't recall the specific content except for being tired.
He usually should have woken up at about 8 o'clock, but he woke up at this time this time, and the cold sweat on his body because he didn't sleep well made Wang Cheng feel a little cold.
His head hurt a little, and since he couldn't recall what kind of dream he had last night, Wang Cheng didn't think about such a thing as this kind of ethereal dream.
In reality, there are a lot of things to do today, and the previous arrangements should have been ready, although it is not very comfortable, but Wang Cheng has no sleepiness at all, so he can only get up and walk to the bathroom.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Wang Cheng looked at his ordinary face, but he understood that he could not be regarded as an ordinary person.
Wang Cheng doesn't know who his biological parents are, and the surname Wang is also taken after the master's surname. The master who adopted himself gave himself the name Wang Cheng, which does not mean honesty or sincerity to others in ordinary virtues.
Master has always instructed Wang Cheng to understand his own heart, not to be confused, this sincerity means to be honest to himself, whether he wants to be a good person or a bad person, as long as Wang Cheng does not deceive himself, he likes Wang Cheng. Wang Cheng's master practiced boxing when he was a child, but he was not good at learning and knew a few real people in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't like the real rivers and lakes, and only liked to mix in the ordinary society.
It is impossible to work part-time, you can only set up a stall for people to tell their fortunes and eat, plus Wang Cheng looks like an honest person to the master as a trust, although life is tight, but it is still okay.
Although Wang Cheng often discussed with Master when he wanted to buy something delicious and fun, in order to be more professional, he simply blinded his eyes, and he was old, and he could make a fortune.
As for the trivial matter of being beaten by the master every time this topic is discussed, don't mention it.
However, Wang Cheng's master did have some skills when he was young, a little martial arts, and he would also order I Ching gossip, but if he was not proficient in learning, it was impossible to be a bodyguard for high-ranking officials like those masters in the inner world, or to tell fortunes for powerful people.
Therefore, these half-baked skills are useless in modern society, and divination is actually an ancestral craft of the master's family, but this is no longer the same in modern society.
High-end scammers basically calculate financial indices and stock market quotes in office buildings, wear suits and ties, and squat in tourist attractions like Wang Cheng and his master to tell fortunes.
Wang Cheng's master was indeed injured and killed by mistake in a battle between gangsters to grab turf.
Wang Cheng absolutely didn't believe that the hard work of a few gangsters could hurt the old immortal, and when Wang Cheng heard the news, he thought that the master just wanted to make a sum of money and stay in the hospital, and he couldn't turn a blind eye to the performance of the master.
Although when Wang Cheng arrived in the end, what he saw was his master's cold body, there was no conspiracy in it, and there was no problem with the appraisal report given by the hospital.
In other words, even if he is not injured this time, his master will not be able to live for a few days because he is too old.
"Did you die of old age? Wang Cheng dealt with the master's funeral, and there was no special nostalgia and sadness, and after sighing about the impermanence of the world, it was the kind of "ah, finally this day" sense of relief. In the end, he left an ancient coin for divination and a household registration book left by the master, and the rest of the things were cremated with the master.
Although there is nothing else, this household registration book is indeed the first time Wang Cheng has seen it. Before opening it and seeing the name inside, Wang Cheng didn't believe that it was Master's thing.
That's right, Wang Cheng didn't expect his master to have an old house that was about to be demolished, and on the household registration book, Wang Cheng was his only son, the kind of adopted son who was recognized by the law.
There was no time to sigh at Master's kind arrangement for Wang Cheng, and an idea first entered Wang Cheng's mind.
"Why does this old immortal want to rent a house outside when he has a house, what is he hungry for so long!"
After washing his face with cold water, his brain gradually cleared up, Wang Cheng picked up his mobile phone and called the only phone number saved in his phone.
"Uncle Ma, how is the investigation going?"
"Those gangsters are just ordinary people, tonight their boss will meet in a private club, I will send the address to your mobile phone, say in advance, we can't do anything to ordinary people, this matter can only be done by yourself, unless you join us, you inherit your master's mantle, and you are also qualified to become our inner disciple, then we can meddle in this matter, and we can also gag other people's mouths, but if you don't join, but we can provide you with other help, which can be regarded as returning your master's favor back then"
"Do you have a gun?" Wang Cheng lit a cigarette and took a puff.
"Even if you do, will you use it?"
"Then a bottle of gel water, a trench coat, a pair of sunglasses, and a toothpick. ”
"I have to remind you, although all the people in this incident are ordinary people, but because of your master, the person who went to the scene of the incident to investigate this time is indeed a powerful elder in the sect, according to him, although a day has passed, he can still smell a smell that makes him sick, very strange. ”
"If you can, send another portable stereo, if you want to bring batteries, help me download a difficult sutra thank you." ”
"Don't you really need our help, although there is no definite evidence for this matter, there should be some problems behind it, but there is no evidence on the surface, so we can't make a move, as long as you can join..."
"Help me get a passport, I'm going back to my hometown to get married this time, I plan to go abroad for my honeymoon, I'm also a second generation, I can't lose face"
"It seems that you already have a number in mind, so I'll hang up. ”
"Do you want to take a look at my girlfriend's picture? Hey, hey, what's going on?"
Wang Cheng listened to the beep sound coming from the phone, pressed the lighter, looked at the flickering flames in front of him, and didn't know what he was thinking
"Isn't it so obvious that I don't have a girlfriend?,You can know I'm a single dog just by the phone.,Or is it not so obvious to set up a flag now?,Sure enough, older people just don't have a sense of humor.。 ”
Wang Cheng looked at the time, it was just 7 o'clock, "I'm not very hungry, let's go to breakfast after playing a game and getting the first win." ”
The afternoon sun finally washed away the little bit of coldness on Wang Cheng's body, and Wang Cheng stood in front of the breakfast shop that had been closed, messy in the wind.
