Chapter 1,204: Confused

Hearing what Shen Jiaxing said, Shen Jianing shook his head disapprovingly: "Master Cixin's origins, how can he have any descendants? By the way, that water tower belongs to our unit, Du Fei must know about it, how about I ask him tomorrow?"

Shen Jianing knew that her sister was obsessed with cultivation. Apart from work, she usually only thought about this.

She actually didn't agree with it in her heart, but Shen Jiaxing didn't listen even after trying to persuade her twice.

Especially after Ci Xin disappeared, there was no one to ask for advice. She was afraid that one day Shen Jiaxing would go astray and go crazy.

Shen Jiaxing thought for a while and objected: "No need to go around this roundabout way, I will go to Lumicang Hutong to confront him now.

Shen Jianing was surprised. She knew very well what kind of character her sister was. She could keep her composure no matter what. But when this happened, I couldn't wait for a moment.

"Hey~" Shen Jianing sighed: "Change your clothes and I'll go with you."

A gentle smile appeared on Shen Jiaxing's face, and he immediately got up and went into the house to change the clothes he had left.

The two got on their bicycles and rushed to Lumicang Hutong.

It's about five kilometers from their home to Lumicang Hutong, and there are a lot of people on the road on Sundays.

The Shen sisters were riding on the road following the flow of people, and about twenty minutes away they saw a water tower that was higher than the surrounding rooftops.

Although it has been renovated, the water tower does not appear to have changed much on the surface. There are only a few small windows on it, and nothing can be seen from a distance.

The sisters came to the gate of the wall under the water tower. The original rusty and worn-out iron gates have long been replaced, and the walls have been raised.

The two got off their bicycles and looked around to confirm that this was where they were. Shen Jiaxing stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Pa bang bang~"

There is a knocker on the door, and hitting the door panel with your hand makes a lot of noise.

But at this moment, suddenly, a black shadow rushed to the wall.

The two of them looked up and saw a fluffy big black-and-white cat squatting on a wall more than two meters high, looking down at them.

This cat was very good-looking and surprisingly big. Shen Jianing recognized it immediately and blurted out "Xiaowu"!

Shen Jiaxing was slightly surprised and glanced at his sister from the corner of his eye.

But the main attention is still focused on Xiao Wu.

She was not an ordinary person. As soon as she met Xiaowu, she realized that the big cat in front of her was something special. It even gave her a chill all over her body.

Shen Jiaxing felt awe-struck and immediately put himself on guard, fearing that this big guy would suddenly pounce down.

If she hadn't been so sensitive elsewhere, but Metta seemed to live here, anything could happen.

However, to her surprise, Shen Jianing actually called out the other party's name.

Xiao Wu "meowed", glanced at Shen Jianing, and then walked along the wall with cat steps.

Shen Jiaxing breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Xiao Ning, have you seen this cat?"

Shen Jianing said: "I met in Du Fei's office. He said that he raised a baby named Xiaowu. Because Zhu Ting gave birth to a child, she was temporarily fostered elsewhere. Sometimes she would go to his office to blow off the electric fan."

Shen Jiaxing frowned and was about to say something else when a "Who is it" came from the yard?

Shen Jiaxing could only swallow his words and responded: "Hello, comrade, I'm looking for Comrade Wang Huifang."

With a sound of "Hey", the courtyard door opened. Ding Sitian looked at the two visitors.

She has extraordinary abilities, and coupled with Ci Xin, a super boss, she is not afraid of opening the door to let bad guys in.

Seeing that the Shen sisters were well dressed and pushing their bicycles, they didn't look like ordinary people, so they asked: "Who are you two..."

Shen Jiaxing said: "My name is Shen Jiaxing, and this is my sister Shen Jianing, a colleague of Du Fei."

Knowing that the property rights of this place belong to a fire equipment company, I guess the people here have a close relationship with Du Fei.

Afraid that the other party would shut down the business directly, he simply used Du Fei's name.

When Ding Sitian heard this, she immediately did not dare to neglect, looked at Shen Jianing and said: "Oh, you are Secretary Shen~, please come in quickly."

As he spoke, he opened all the opposite courtyard doors and let the two of them push the cart in.

After Lei Laoliu's renovation, the yard under the water tower is no longer as dirty as it used to be.

The road is paved with red bricks, and various flowers and plants are planted on both sides. It is lush and beautiful this season. Directly opposite the gate is the towering water tower. It feels oppressive to stand at the bottom and look up.

Next to the water tower are three bungalows. Under the shadow in front of the bungalow, a huge white-haired yellow-skinned cat lies lazily.

son.

Shen Jiaxing's eyes were sharp and he couldn't help but stare.

She was an expert, and she immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this yellow-skinned boy.

Generally, it takes at least a hundred, or even a hundred and fifty years for a yellow-skinned child to grow like this.

However, Shen Jianing didn't know the difference. He only saw a white animal from a distance and thought it was a lamb.

Ding Sitian let the two people into the water tower.

After entering, there is a living room, which is similar to the furnishings of an ordinary home in this era.

Surrounded by spiral staircases.

Ding Sitian shouted upstairs: "Sister Huifang, someone is looking for you.

After living with Ci Xin for a long time, Ding Sitian was no longer as cautious as she was at the beginning.

Then he poured two glasses of water for the Shen sisters: "You two, wait a moment."

Shen Jiaxing responded, picked up the cup, took a sip and said, "Are you Comrade Ding Sixian?"

Ding Sitian was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that the other party knew her name. She nodded in response but refused to say more.

She didn't know whether the two women who suddenly came to her door were enemies or friends. It would be bad if she said the wrong thing and caused Du Fei trouble.

Now Ding Sitian has already integrated the memory of the Liao princess very well, and the two have merged into one.

At this time, footsteps were heard from above.

Because the stairs were made of iron, Ci Xin did not deliberately lighten her footsteps.

The three people below looked up.

Ci Xin was wearing a loose and thin white training suit for summer, barefoot and wearing a pair of blue plastic slippers, and her hair was tied up in a high bun with a jade hairpin. She looked down from above with her eyes downcast. Except for the slippers, which were a bit out of place, she had a solemn and dignified demeanor.

Shen Jiaxing's heartbeat accelerated and her lips stammered, and she almost blurted out "Master".

But she did not see any fluctuations in Ci Xin's eyes, as if she was looking at her like a stranger.

Or to be more precise, she was not in the other's eyes at all. Shen Jiaxing felt that in the other's eyes, she was no different from the coffee table and chair next to her.

"Sister Huifang~" Ding Sitian called out, got up and came to the side of the stairs, looking very respectful.

Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jianing also stood up.

When Ci Xin came down, she glanced at them and said lightly, "Sit down."

The two of them felt a sense of pressure for no reason, like a primary school student meeting his class teacher.

"What do you want to see me for?" Ci Xin asked.

Shen Jiaxing mustered up the courage to look carefully.

She had seen her from a distance last time and was not sure of her identity. Now that she was finally face to face, she looked more and more alike.

The only thing that didn't match was the age, and the black hair.

Although Ci Xin had practiced well before and looked 20 or 30 years younger than her actual age, she was still in her 30s, with a bald head, and not as beautiful as she is now.

Shen Jiaxing didn't believe that Wang Huifang and Ci Xin were the same person rationally.

But that feeling made her feel emotionally that this person was Ci Xin.

Shen Jiaxing took a deep breath and said, "Comrade Wang Huifang, my name is Shen Jiaxing, and I am a disciple of Master Ci Xin. May I ask if you know Master Ci Xin?"

Ci Xin frowned, and had no impression of the woman in front of her.

She knew that she had lost a lot of memories, and it was not impossible for the woman in front of her to say that she was her disciple.

But Ci Xin didn't feel anything, and shook her head calmly: "This comrade may have made a mistake. I don't know any Ci Xin."

Disappointment flashed in Shen Jiaxing's eyes, although she had expected this result before coming.

But hearing the other party's denial in person still made her feel uncomfortable.

Still unwilling, she took out a photo: "Look at this photo."

Ci Xin took a look, it was a photo of her and Shen Jiaxing. Shen Jiaxing in the photo was more childish than now, and Ci Xin was wearing a nun's robe.

Shen Jianing next to her also stretched her neck to look over.

The black and white photo was not big, and the characters in it were very clear.

Ci Xin said lightly: "Two comrades, there are so many similar people in the world. I just look like the person in the photo. If you really want to find her, you are just looking for fish in a tree..."

Shen Jiaxing frowned, looked at Ci Xin deeply, but did not entangle, bowed slightly and said: "Sorry, we disturbed you. "

Ci Xin said "It's okay" and asked Ding Sitian to send them out.

Outside, Shen Jiaxing pushed his bicycle out of the gate of the water tower and looked up.

Shen Jianing next to him was very surprised. She was also surprised to see Wang Huifang just now. They were really similar. ??

But she was puzzled that Shen Jiaxing was sent away with just a few words.

Her sister is not a person who can be fooled.

"Sister, she is really not..." Shen Jianing wanted to ask.

But Shen Jiaxing waved his hand to stop him and retracted his gaze and whispered: "Let's talk about it when we get home. "

At the same time, Du Fei also received Ci Xin's thoughts and knew that the Shen sisters had actually found the water tower.

Originally, he didn't know that Ci Xin and Shen Jiaxing had a master-disciple relationship.

Now that she has been found, Ci Xin's identity may be exposed.

Although Ci Xin denied it just now, the way she treated people and her attitude when she spoke could not help but arouse suspicion.

If it were a normal person, with Wang Huifang's background, it would be impossible not to take the opportunity to make friends with the Shen sisters.

According to Wang Huifang's personality, she came to Beijing to find her brother and find a way to vindicate her father.

The identities of the Shen sisters are obviously very important resources.

As for letting Ci Xin pretend to be nice to them, Du Fei thought about it at first.

But on the other hand, forget it.

First of all, Ci Xin's current personality is not suitable. Since she was taken in by Du Fei After the portable space was revived, Ci Xin believed that she could achieve the right result by following Du Fei, and she became more and more indifferent to other things.

Secondly, Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jianing were both smart people. Even if Du Fei forced Ci Xin to play Wang Huifang to perfunctory them, it would be impossible for her to reveal her flaws after a long time.

In addition, Du Fei still couldn't figure out Shen Jiaxing's thoughts.

Through Wang Yufen, Du Fei knew that Shen Jiaxing valued cultivation very much.

But how much she valued it and what position it occupied in her heart, Du Fei didn't know.

Can playing the card of Ci Xin make Shen Jiaxing wholeheartedly serve me?

In this case, it is better not to make it clear and wait for the other party to play the card first.

On the other side, the Shen sisters returned home.

Shen Jianing had been holding back her doubts all the way, and immediately asked when she got home: "Sister, please say something! What's going on?"

Shen Jiaxing put away the bicycle and didn't go back to the house. He sat directly on the recliner in the yard, frowning and silent.

It wasn't until nearly half a minute that he looked up at his sister and asked instead of answering: "What did you feel just now? Does it look like you?"

Shen Jianing was stunned.

Shen Jiaxing continued: "I feel like that's Master! But it's like she doesn't know me, and her age doesn't match up. Could it be that... Master, because of the good fortune of the old man, he's really rejuvenated!"

Normally, if Shen Jianing heard similar words, he would definitely take the opportunity to make a sarcastic comment.

But today, she couldn't say it because she just saw Ci Xin coming down the stairs of the water tower for the first time.

She suddenly felt a little fluttering in her heart, just like when she saw compassion from Director Jiang for the first time.

But "rejuvenating one's youth by taking part in nature's work" is too nonsense. What age is this?

Shen Jiaxing squinted his eyes slightly and leaned back, looking in the direction of Lumicang Alley, and suddenly said: "Xiao Ning, tell me, if that person is really the master..."

Although they only spoke half a sentence, the two sisters understood each other very well. Shen Jianing immediately caught Shen Jiaxing's intention and looked horrified.

If the woman who looked like she was in her early twenties just now was really compassionate, what kind of concept was that!

After modern times, with the emergence of various terrifyingly powerful heavy weapons, the role of the practitioner's strength has been greatly reduced.

In ancient times, a top warrior, riding a horse and carrying a spear, led a thousand cavalry, which could kill an army of 20,000 to 30,000 ordinary infantry.

But now, when you encounter a heavy machine gun, you have to stop.

However, practicing cultivation also has another effect, which is to maintain health and extend life.

Those who truly reach a certain level, as long as they are not seriously injured in a fight, can live longer than ordinary people and have a higher quality of life.

Even if ordinary people live to be eighty or ninety years old, they will still become senile in the last twenty or thirty years.

, lingering on the sick bed.

However, practitioners can maintain good physical fitness for one or two years before death.

Shen Jianing understood that if the Wang Huifang he met today was truly compassionate, it would undoubtedly mean that the practice of compassion had reached an incredible state.

Maybe even...immortality!

With a "Gulu" sound, Shen Jianing swallowed involuntarily.

I kept asking myself in my mind: "Is it possible? Is it really possible?"

The materialistic education she received since childhood made her very resistant to such unscientific things.

However, a fanatical look gradually flashed in Shen Jiaxing's eyes: "Xiao Ning, he must know where Du Fei placed her! At least he knows something about it."

Shen Jianing pursed her lips and said, "Then I can ask him directly tomorrow?"

Shen Jiaxing said "Hmm", like a little girl getting ready for her first date. She stood up from the recliner restlessly and paced back and forth in the courtyard.

After waiting for a moment, he said: "Forget it, I'll go find him myself~" After saying that, he shook his head again: "No, Xiao Ning, you'd better go and find out what he said first.

Shen Jianing blinked, seeing her sister in this state for the first time.

In her impression, although Shen Jiaxing could not be said to remain calm despite the collapse of Mount Tai, he was still calm and quite calm in situations.

Unexpectedly, everything was messed up today.

Shen Jiaxing saw his sister's thoughts and sighed deeply: "Xiao Ning, you don't understand. My sister will be like this for the rest of her life. If she doesn't expect to have a family and have children, she must have someone to rely on."

Shen Jianing said "Yes": "I understand, sister, I will ask him tomorrow."

Shen Jiaxing had some free time and sat back on the recliner again: "By the way, Xiaoning, you are at the work unit, please pay attention to cooperate with Du Fei's work, especially the three newly added factories. Over there at Tianjin Shipyard..."

Shen Jiaxing paused, thinking silently for a few seconds, and then continued: "Stop the original plan and stop causing trouble for him."

Shen Jianing nodded and did not raise any questions. Although they had already decided on the general direction of cooperating with Du Fei.

However, cooperation cannot be smooth sailing, and there must be twists and turns. Otherwise, how can they reflect the value of their existence.

Just like before, Shen Jianing came forward to deal with Wang Zhandong.

Wang Zhandong was unplanned, and the Tianjin Shipyard was the pit Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jianing originally planned to dig for Du Fei.

Shen Jianing thought of another question: "Sister, tell me, if Wang Huifang is really a compassionate master, what is her relationship with Du Fei, and why do she stay there?"

Shen Jiaxing shook his head: "I don't know, the master acts quickly and unconstrainedly, and no one can guess what she is thinking. As for Du Fei... he may or may not know the identity of the master. If he knows, there must be something." The bargaining chip can make Master's heart beat, but it cannot be snatched away by force. If you don't know, it is probably a coincidence that Ningcui Temple was destroyed and he found another place to live. "

Shen Jianing said: "Sister, I think the former is more likely.

Shen Jiaxing raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

"Because of Du Fei!" Shen Jianing said seriously: "He is not an ordinary person. Have you forgotten how the yoga master from Indu died? It is impossible for Du Fei to bring that water tower out of nowhere and find someone to repair it and provide it for people to live in. .

Shen Jiaxing nodded: "Anyway, go find him tomorrow and see what he says.

The next morning.

Because I drank wine yesterday, I left the jeep outside Shen's alley.

This morning, Du Fei rarely rode a bicycle to carry Zhu Ting to work.

In the flow of bicycles on the road, it felt like going back to the time when the two of them had just established their relationship.

Zhu Ting's buttocks were thick, and she didn't feel the rear frame of the bicycle was uncomfortable. She felt more comfortable supporting Du Fei's waist from behind than riding in a car.

After sending Zhu Ting off, Du Fei went to get the jeep.

Just as he put the bicycle in the trunk of the jeep, he saw Shen Jianing walking out of the alley.

"Hey, Sister Jianing~" Du Fei smiled and greeted her. He had just changed his address yesterday and could no longer call her Secretary Shen.

"Come and get the car." Shen Jianing responded and walked over.

Du Fei said "hmm": "Let's go together." Shen Jianing didn't hesitate to open the door and get in the car.

I wanted to mention Ci Xin to Du Fei, but I thought that the distance was too close. I didn't have time to say a few words before I arrived. It would be better to talk about it at the unit.
