Hearing what Shen Jiaxing said, Shen Jianing shook his head disapprovingly: "What is the origin of Master Cixin? 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 stray from his own practice and become obsessed.
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, she 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 his clothes for going out.
The two of them 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. Only a few small windows have been opened on it, and nothing can be seen from a distance.
The two sisters came to the wall gate under the water tower. The original rusty and worn-out iron gate had long been replaced, and the wall had 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 when you hit it with your hand, it 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 at a glance and called out "Xiao Wu"!
Shen Jiaxing was slightly surprised and glanced at his sister from the corner of his eye.
But the main attention is still focused on Xiaowu.
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 person's name.
Xiaowu "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 him in Du Fei's office. He said that he raised a baby named Xiao Wu. 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 voice called "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 "Hey" sound, 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 bicycles each, they didn't look like ordinary people, so they asked: "Who are you two..."
Shen Jiaxing said: "My name is Shen Jiaxing, this is my sister Shen Jianing, Du Fei's colleague."
Knowing that the property rights of this place belong to a fire-fighting equipment company, I guess the people here have a close relationship with Du Fei.
I was afraid that the other party would close down the business directly, so I 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 very lush and beautiful this season. Directly opposite the gate is the towering water tower. Standing under it and looking up when you look up gives you a sense of oppression.
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, so she immediately recognized the extraordinary nature of this yellow-skinned boy.
It usually takes a yellow skin to grow like this, at least a hundred years, or even a hundred and fifty years.
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 go 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, please 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 integrated the memory of the Liao princess very well, and the two have merged into one.
At this time, footsteps came from above.
Because the stairs were made of iron, Compassion did not deliberately step lightly.
The three people below looked up.
Ci Xin was seen wearing loose and light white practice clothes worn in summer, with bare feet and a pair of blue plastic slippers. Her hair was tied into a high bun with an jade hairpin. She was condescending and her eyes were downcast. Except for that
The pair of slippers are a bit dramatic, and have a rather solemn demeanor.
Shen Jiaxing's heart beat faster, his lips murmured, and he almost blurted out "Master".
But she didn't see any fluctuation in Ci Xin's eyes, as if she looked at her like a stranger.
Or to be more precise, she was not in the other person's eyes at all. Shen Jiaxing felt that in the other person's eyes, she was no different from the coffee table and chair next to her.
"Sister Huifang~" Ding Sitian called out, stood up and came to the stairs, looking very respectful.
Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jianing also stood up.
When Ci Xin came down, he glanced at them and said lightly, "Sit down."
The two of them felt an inexplicable pressure, like a primary school student meeting his head teacher.
"What do you want from me?" Cixin asked.
Shen Jiaxing mustered up the courage to look carefully.
She saw him from a distance last time and was unsure of his identity. Now that he was finally face to face, she looked more and more like him.
The only thing that doesn't match her is her age, and the other is her jet-black hair.
Although Ci Xin was successful in cultivation before, she looked twenty or thirty years younger than her actual age, but she was still in her thirties, still had a bald head, and was not as beautiful as she is now.
Shen Jiaxing did not believe it rationally that Wang Huifang and Cixin were the same person in front of him.
But that feeling made her feel emotionally that this person was compassionate.
Shen Jiaxing took a deep breath and said, "Comrade Wang Huifang, my name is Shen Jiaxing and I am a disciple of Master Cixin. Do you know Master Cixin?"
Cixin frowned, not having any 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 Cixin didn't feel anything. He shook his head with a flat expression: "This comrade may have made a mistake. I don't know Cixin."
Disappointment flashed in Shen Jiaxing's eyes, although she had expected this outcome before coming.
But hearing the other party's denial with her own ears still made her feel uncomfortable.
Still unwilling to give in, he took out a photo and said, "Look at this photo."
Ci Xin took a look and saw that it was a photo of her and Shen Jiaxing. Shen Jiaxing in the picture was more childish than now, while Ci Xin was wearing a nun's robe.
Shen Jianing next to him also stretched his neck and looked over.
The black and white photo is not big, but the characters on it are very clear.
Ci Xin said calmly: "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 asking for fish in my place..."
Shen Jiaxing frowned, took a deep look at Cixin, but did not bother, bowed slightly and said, "Sorry, we are disturbing you."
Ci Xin said "No problem" and asked Ding Sitian to send them out.
When they got outside, Shen Jiaxing pushed his bicycle out of the water tower gate and looked up.
Shen Jianing next to her was very strange. She was also surprised when she saw Wang Huifang just now. They really looked like each other. ??
It was just Shen Jiaxing's words that were spoken in such a few words that puzzled her.
Her sister is not someone who is easily fooled.
"Sister, is she really..." Shen Jianing wanted to ask.
However, Shen Jiaxing waved his hand to stop him, looked back and whispered: "We'll talk about it when we go home."
At the same time, Du Fei also received compassionate thoughts and knew that the Shen sisters had actually found the water tower.
Originally, he didn't know that Cixin and Shen Jiaxing had a master-disciple relationship.
Now that he's been called to his door, Ci Xin's identity may be exposed.
Although Cixin denied it just now, the way she treats others and the way she speaks cannot help arousing suspicion.
If she were a normal person, given 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 character, she came to the capital to find her brother and find a way to rehabilitate her father.
The identity of the Shen sisters is obviously a very important resource.
Du Fei also thought about it at the beginning as to letting Ci Xin be insincere with them.
But after a second thought, I decided to forget it.
First of all, Ci Xin's current personality is not suitable for him. After being brought back to life by Du Fei in his personal space, Ci Xin believes that following Du Fei can achieve righteousness, and he becomes more and more indifferent to other things.
Secondly, Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jianing are both talented people. Even if Du Fei forces Ci Xin to play Wang Huifang to perfunctory them, it will not be possible for a long time without revealing their flaws.
As for Shen Jiaxing's thoughts, Du Fei still couldn't figure it out.
Through Wang Yufen, Du Fei knew that Shen Jiaxing attached great importance to cultivation.
But Du Fei didn't know how much she valued him and what position he held in her heart.
By playing the card of compassion, can Shen Jiaxing be completely devoted to my use?
In this case, it's better not to mention it clearly and wait for the opponent to play first.
On the other side, the Shen sisters returned home.
Shen Jianing kept the doubts in her heart for a long time, and immediately asked when she got home: "Sister, please say something! What's going on?"
Shen Jiaxing put away his bicycle and didn't go back to the house. He sat directly on the lounge chair in the courtyard, frowning and keeping silent.
It wasn't until nearly half a minute that he looked up at his sister and asked without 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, has really rejuvenated his youth!"
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 frightened in her heart, as if she had seen 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 Hutong, and suddenly said: "Xiao Ning, tell me, if that person is really the master..."
Although they only spoke half a sentence, the two sisters knew 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 cultivators' 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 eating.
However, practicing cultivation also has another effect, which is to maintain health and extend life.
Those who have truly reached 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.
Practitioners, on the other hand, can maintain good physical fitness for one or two years before death.
Shen Jianing understood that if the Wang Huifang she 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, Shen Jiaxing's eyes gradually flashed with a fanatical look: "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 will 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 also 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 get married and have children, she must have someone to rely on."
Shen Jianing said "Yeah": "I understand, sister, I will ask him tomorrow."
Shen Jiaxing had a good 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, thought silently for a few seconds, and 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, there must be differences and twists and turns, otherwise how can the value of their existence be reflected.
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. Master acts quickly and unpredictably. No one can guess what she is thinking. As for Du Fei... he may or may not know the master's identity. If he knows, there must be something."
The bargaining chip can make Master's heart flutter, but it cannot be snatched away by force. If you don't know, it is probably a coincidence that after Ningcui Nunnery was destroyed, you found another place to stay."
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 that Yindu yoga master 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, you go to 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 seeing off Zhu Ting, Du Fei went to pick up the jeep.
Just as I put my bicycle in the trunk of the jeep, I happened to see Shen Jianing walking out of the alley.
"Hey, Sister Jianing~" Du Fei said hello with a smile. He just changed his title yesterday and can no longer call him Secretary Shen.
"Come and pick up the car." Shen Jianing responded and walked over.
Du Fei said "Yeah": "Let's go together. Shen Jianing was not polite, opened the door and got in the car.
I originally wanted to mention the matter of kindness to Du Fei, but after thinking about it, the distance was too close and I had arrived before I could say a few words. It would be better to talk about it at the work unit.
