Chapter 1349 Weird Old Man
"Senior..."
Watching the old man leave, I hurriedly chased after him.
There are too many secrets hidden in this old man. Since he shows up again, I must at least find out who he is.
"Do you have anything else to do?" He paused and looked at me with squinted eyes.
Seeing this, I took a deep breath, and then summoned up the courage to say: "I have met you twice, and you helped me avoid a disaster, but I don't even know your name. I want to..."
"What do you want to know my name for? It's just a code name. Is it important?" He said unhappily, and then he walked deeper into the safe house again.
I didn't give up, and immediately chased him again: "But senior..."
But this time, he suddenly stopped halfway through my words and made a gesture to silence me.
I was stunned, looking at this mysterious old man with tears in my eyes.
"What a good little girl!" He suddenly spoke, with a rare smile on his face: "This youthful vigor is really nostalgic, alas!"
"Senior, are you talking about...Feng Churan?"
"Feng Churan?" He frowned: "Is she a girl from the Miaojiang Feng family?"
"She is indeed from the Miaojiang Feng family, a family that raises pigs, but I don't know if it is the Feng family you are talking about." I said truthfully.
"Well...the old people in the Feng family, we are old acquaintances." He narrowed his eyes, as if he was lost in memory, and I was stunned.
"Old people in the Feng family?" From what he said, he seemed to know people in the Feng family, and quite a few of them, but now the Feng family has no older people since Chu Ran's grandfather passed away.
"Could it be that the person mentioned by this mysterious old man is a person older than Grandpa Feng Chu Ran?" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but swallow my saliva with a "gulp", thinking to myself, damn, if this is really the case, then how old is this mysterious old man?
"The qualifications of this little girl... why are they so poor? Is the bloodline of the Feng family so poor now?" He frowned slightly and murmured in a low voice: "However, the recovery ability is very abnormal. It's a pity for this girl to raise a pig. Not only is she weak herself, but she can't even fully control her own pig Qi..."
At this point, he suddenly turned his head and looked at me and asked, "What is your relationship with her?"
"Ah, she is my...sister-in-law!" I said hurriedly.
Hearing this, he looked at me strangely: "Your sister-in-law? You dote on your sister-in-law so much? You even let her enter the safe house of the Intelligence Bureau at will? Do you know that there is an old saying in the underworld that the more you know, the faster you die? This kind of place stores secrets of various sects and even dynasties. Once they are announced, they can cause a huge sensation. If you let her know this, it will not only be of no benefit to her, but may also cause huge trouble." Hearing this
, I hurriedly smiled and said, "Senior, I didn't let her check any files. She was just a little curious about this place, so I let her in to take a look, just to take a look."
"Well, just take a look? That's about right." At this point, he suddenly grinned, revealing a mouthful of uneven teeth, and then continued: "However, it's also thanks to you for bringing her in, otherwise, I might have missed this good seedling. This girl, after all, is the descendant of an old friend. I help the old friend to train the descendant, they shouldn't say anything, right? No, I help them train Future generations should be grateful to me. After all, not everyone can learn my true teachings!"
Maybe he had been alone here for too long. At first, he didn't like to talk, but when he started talking, he began to talk nonstop. Some of his words were obviously not said to me, but more like talking to himself, giving people a feeling of being mysterious and full of inner drama.
In short, he is a little... neurotic!
However, from what the old man said, it seems that he wants to take Feng Churan as his apprentice?
"Boy, can you make the decision for this girl?" The old man suddenly turned his head and looked at me and asked.
"Senior, do you want to take her as your apprentice?" I asked.
"It's not like I'm accepting her as an apprentice, I'm just teaching her a few tricks to save her life. This girl has limited talent in raising pigs, but she has unique advantages in other areas. If you can make the decision for her, I'll... forget it, you're just her brother-in-law, you can't make a decision, and no matter how many people cry and beg me to teach them a few tricks, I won't do it. If this girl knew who I was, she would be so excited that she couldn't sleep. Yes, it must be like this. After all, although I have retired from the world, there should still be legends about me in the world!"
He was talking to himself, and the more he talked, the more excited he looked. In the end, he even got excited by what he said, and his face was red, as if he had drunk alcohol.
"This old man... is not only a little neurotic, but also a little... narcissistic!" I said secretly in my heart.
"You can go out now, and take that kid with you. Don't worry, this girl can't stand the hardship following me. Just come to deliver meals on time."
"Senior, what if she... flips through the files here?" I couldn't help asking.
"Why do you have so much nonsense? It's okay for my apprentice to flip through some files?"
This old guy is so angry that he looks at me with a frown, his white beard moving without wind, as if he is going to hit me if I say anything more.
"Senior, it's better not to let her..."
"Get out, get out quickly, you are talking so much nonsense, it's really annoying." The old man glared at me, then stomped his feet, and disappeared in front of me.
The next second, I heard a scream, and Qu Yi rolled out from the depths of the safe house like a ball.
"Are you... okay?" I said to Qu Yi who rolled to my feet.
"Director Zhang, there's something strange here!"
Qu Yi stood up, stared at the surroundings with a vigilant look, and said, "I seem to have been ambushed just now."
I didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.
"But I didn't see who did it, I just felt a gust of wind blowing on my face, and I was blown away, I..."
He suddenly stopped talking, but I turned around and walked straight out the door.
"Director Zhang?" He shouted. "
Qu Yi, you are also from the Intelligence Bureau, you should know that there are some things that you shouldn't ask." I threw down these words coldly and walked out of the safe house.
As for Qu Yi, he just stood there in a daze. It took him a while to react. He looked around suspiciously and then quickly caught up.
