Rebirth of the Flying Era

  Chapter 1207 "Journey to the West"

  It was almost eleven o'clock, Du Fei and Zhu Ting drove to Shen Jianing's house.

  Because the bunch of grasshoppers was not worth starting a fire to generate carbon, Zhu Ting set fire to it with gas in the kitchen.

   It turned out to be a bit burnt.

  When Du Fei came down from the upstairs after washing, there were only a few grasshopper legs barely enough to eat in a bunch of grasshoppers.

  Du Fei giggled, but he didn't mind meat and vegetables, so he chewed it.

   There is a burnt smell, but the more you chew, the more fragrant it becomes.

   After eating, the gaps between the teeth were full of black ash, so Zhu Ting pushed her upstairs to brush her teeth again.

  In the car, Zhu Ting was sitting on the co-pilot with a box of snacks on her lap, prepared by Zhu Ma.

   It is always difficult to go empty-handed when visiting someone's house.

   With a "creak", Du Fei slammed on the brakes to stop the jeep outside the alley entrance.

  Appointed to come over at eleven o'clock, Shen Jianing stood under the tree at the entrance of the alley.

  Seeing Du Fei's car, he immediately rushed up to meet him.

  Du Fei and Zhu Ting got out of the car. Before Du Fei could speak, Zhu Ting had already got up with a smile: "Sister Xiaoning, long time no see!"

  Shen Jianing also smiled, and took the pastry box that Zhu Ting handed over: "It's been a long time since I graduated."

  Du Fei walked around the jeep at this moment, greeted Shen Jianing, and the three of them walked into the alley together.

  Shen Jianing and Shen Jiaxing live in a small courtyard with two entrances, the area and regulations are similar to Qin Huairou's courtyard in Mianmian Hutong.

   Entering the courtyard, Shen Jiaxing was preparing meals.

  There is no makeup on the face, but it is ruddy and very beautiful.

  When Du Fei first saw it, he really felt a little bit like seeing compassion when he first saw it.

   Sure enough, as Wang Yufen said, Shen Jiaxing is a master, but to what extent is still unknown for the time being.

   "Sister, Manager Du and Xiao Ting are here." Shen Jianing chewed.

  Shen Jiaxing smiled and washed his hands under the faucet in the yard, wiped it with a dry towel, walked over and stretched out his hand: "Xiao Du, I'll help you, so it's okay to call it that way?"

  Du Fei shook hands with her: "Director Shen is very polite, I have admired you for a long time!"

  Shen Jiaxing said: "What Director Shen is called sister~ I'm afraid you don't know~" He looked at Zhu Ting and said, "I was raised in a nursery school when I was a child, and was brought up by Mother Han. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaoting."

  Zhu Ting responded with a smile. In fact, Zhu's mother did bring up Shen Jiaxing at the beginning, but it was a bit exaggerated to say that she brought up Shen Jiaxing.

  Back then, Zhu's mother took care of Shen Jiaxing in Yan'an for about half a year.

  But with this layer, it can be used to draw in the relationship with each other.

  Du Fei laughed and said, "Then I'd rather be obedient than respectful, Sister Jiaxing, Sister Jianing."

   That's all, four people entered the upper room.

  Shen Jiaxing said: "Xiao Ning, pour some water for Xiao Du Xiaoting, the fish is still steaming on my stove~"

   As he spoke, he turned and went out, leaving Shen Jianing to pour a few cups of tea.

   Du Fei looked at the home of the Shen sisters, and couldn't help admiring: "Sister Jianing, your place is quite elegant."

  From the outside, this small courtyard is not unusual, but the furnishings in the house are extraordinary everywhere.

  Although it is not as luxurious as Huo Xiaoyu's back then, an insider can tell at a glance that it is not an ordinary item.

  Shen Jianing said: "My sister likes it all."

  At this moment, Du Fei saw a copy of "Journey to the West" on the Luohan bed next to the wall.

   It’s fine if it’s an ordinary Journey to the West, but the author on the cover of this book is actually ‘Qiu Chuji’!

  Du Fei walked over, reached out to pick it up and looked at it.

   There is no mistake, it is indeed Qiu Chuji, a Changchun real person from the Quanzhen sect.

  According to the more popular view now, the author of "Journey to the West" should be Wu Chengen, but there are also legends in the Ming and Qing Dynasties that it was written by Qiu Chuji.

  Du Fei had only heard about it before, but he had never seen Qiu Chuji's version of Journey to the West.

  Shen Jianing saw him lost in thought, and asked, "You also like Journey to the West?"

  Du Fei said "hmm": "This is the first time I saw Qiu Chuji's version of Journey to the West, and I was a little curious."

   Zhu Ting was surprised: "Isn't "Journey to the West" written by Wu Chengen?" She also got up and followed.

  Shen Jianing was also surprised. She saw her sister Jiantian reading "Journey to the West" over and over again, but she didn't pay attention to the special nature of this book.

   This is not surprising, it is the so-called black under the lamp.

  Glanced at the cover and saw that it was "Journey to the West", most people would preconceive it.

  At this moment, Shen Jiaxing came back from the outside and said with a smile: "The fish is steamed, let's eat and talk while eating~"

  While talking, she took off her apron, just in time to see Du Fei holding her "Journey to the West", but she didn't take it seriously, and said indifferently: "I usually use it to pass the time."

  Shen Jianing asked: "Sister, I remember that the author of "Journey to the West" was not Wu Chengen? How did he become Qiu Chuji?"

  Shen Jiaxing was surprised for a moment: ""Journey to the West" is a collection of anonymous stories, and Wu Chengen and Qiu Chuji are all farfetched by people."

  Du Fei laughed and said, "Sister Jiaxing's words may not be true."

As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to the small bookshelf next to him, and pulled out one of the thread-bound books: "If I remember correctly, this "Journey to the West" should be written by Taoist Liu Yiming of the former Qing Dynasty. Sister Jiaxing is Take "Journey to the West" as a secret book for practicing alchemy~"

  Shen Jiaxing was stunned suddenly, but he didn't expect Du Fei to express her thoughts, so he couldn't help asking: "Xiao Du also dabbled in Taoist classics?"

  Du Fei quickly waved his hand: "I dare not say dabble, but I usually like to read some idle books."

  Shen Jiaxing became interested, and said with a smile, "Comrade Du, if you are too modest, you will be proud."

  Du Fei smiled and didn't answer.

  Shen Jiaxing wasn't stubborn either, and waited for a few seconds before beckoning him to eat.

  The table is placed in the courtyard with a pergola hanging above it. Many people in Beijing like to eat in the open air in summer.

  Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jianing seemed to put their heart into it. The main course was a steamed sea bass, which was a foot and a half long.

  Peanuts and edamame cooked in advance, and two stir-fried vegetables, enough for four people.

  Shen Jiaxing said: "There is no entertainment, don't take offense."

  Zhu Ting said: "Sister Jiaxing, it's already too rich."

  Shen Jiaxing said to his sister again: "Jianing, you go to the well and get the beer out."

  Shen Jianing got up and went to the well in the courtyard.

  The mouth of the well was covered with a wooden plank, and when it was lifted, an iron hook hung inside, and a rope was run down.

  Zhu Ting touched Du Fei: "I'm still watching, hurry up and help me."

  Du Fei just got up and went over, it's not that he has no eyesight, it's really hard to get close to Shen Jianing.

  The two of them work under the same roof. Shen Jianing is beautiful and still single. Although she is a few years older than Du Fei, it's not a big deal.

   If you are too diligent, you will inevitably be suspected of being under the melon field.

   "Sister Carrian, let me come~" Du Fei walked over.

  Shen Jianing didn't say no, and stepped aside.

  Wait for Du Fei to pull the rope and pull up the basket hanging inside.

   It was quite heavy to start with, and there were eight bottles of Beijing beer in it.

   Reached out and took out four bottles and put them on the side, and the remaining four bottles went back.

  Back to the table, Shen Jiaxing looked at Zhu Ting: "Xiao Ting, is it okay to drink some beer? Back then, Mother Han had a lot of them."

  Zhu Ting smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a hot day, drink something to cool off."

  Shen Jiaxing took a cup and poured it.

   If there is only food and no wine, it is always almost meaningless.

  But the two sisters invited Du Fei alone, and it was not good to get drunk, so it was convenient to ask Zhu Ting to come together.

   Among those present, Shen Jiaxing was the oldest and the host, so he was the first to raise a glass.

  The cup is a small glass, and there is no pressure when you drink it dry.

   On the contrary, it is a hot day, and drinking a glass of cold beer is so transparent and comfortable.

"Try this fish, it was just caught from the reservoir early this morning." Shen Jiaxing took a piece of fish for Zhu Ting with his chopsticks, and said to Du Fei, "Xiao Du, greet yourself yourself, don't see outsiders." .”

   Du Fei responded and picked up the chopsticks.

   Not to mention, Shen Jiaxing's steamed fish is really good, not only the fish is fresh, but also the heat is just right.

  Du Fei and Zhu Ting ate, full of praise.

  Due to a few glasses of beer, the atmosphere at the dinner table naturally became lively.

  Speaking of which, Du Fei and Shen Jianing go to and from get off work every day, and they don't look up and look down. You call me Secretary Shen, and I call you Manager Du.

  You can drink a bottle of beer on the same table, and the relationship will be quickly drawn.

  Talking about the anecdotes from childhood to Du Fei’s achievements in the past two years.

  The last eight bottles of beer were not enough to drink, Shen Jianing took out a few more bottles from the wing room, and it was too late to put them in the well.

   I simply took a large basin of cold water from the laundry tub and soaked it in it.

   At this time, the water pipes are buried underground, and the tap water will be very cold after a while. Although it is not as good as putting it in a well, it is worse than nothing.

   This meal is finished, it is almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

  Du Fei and Zhu Ting have strong physiques, so it's okay to drink a little wine, and their cheeks flushed slightly.

  Shen Jiaxing wasn't drunk either, only Shen Jianing was drunk and his eyes were a little wandering.

  Seeing that Du Fei and Zhu Ting were about to leave, Shen Jiaxing reminded: "Xiao Du, don't drink and drive. You and Xiao Ting should rest before leaving~"

  Du Fei said: "Miss Jiaxing, don't worry, the car will be left here, and I will pick it up tomorrow, and Xiaoting and I will take the bus back."

  Shen Jiaxing nodded: "Then you should be careful."

   Keep sending Du Fei and his wife to the entrance of the alley, watching them walk towards the bus stop before going back.

  Backing to the courtyard, Shen Jianing, who was a little drunk just now, was much more sober and was clearing the tables in the courtyard.

   Seeing her come back, she asked "Leave"?

  Shen Jiaxing said "hmm": "I didn't drive, I took the bus."

  Shen Jianing put the bowl in the sink under the faucet in the yard, and while brushing the bowl with a loofah, he asked, "Sister, you saw me too, how do you feel?"

  Shen Jiaxing knew that she was asking about Du Fei. Although Zhu Ting didn't have a deep relationship with them, they were in the same circle and they were no strangers to each other.

Shen Jiaxing thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say, he is very mature in speaking and dealing with people, he is meticulous in his observations, and has a wide range of knowledge. He actually knows "The Original Purpose of Journey to the West", and the chat just now, all kinds of allusions from ancient, modern, Chinese and foreign countries, did not let the words fall into the ground. I really don’t know where he read so many books at such a young age.”

  Shen Jianing kept washing the dishes: "Who said that, I mean Shuichi Iwai, can we count on him?"

Speaking of this, Shen Jiaxing's expression became serious: "It's hard to say. In terms of ability alone, the accident in the steel factory in South Koryo a few days ago showed that he has a great influence in Dongyang, but... why should he help us? It's a personal enmity, not a public matter."

  Shen Jianing was silent.

  Shen Jiaxing put his hand on her shoulder, sighed: "Jianing, sometimes you don't want to be too horny..."

  Shen Jianing froze, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "Sister, don't you want to avenge your parents?"

  Shen Jiaxing didn't speak.

  Of course she wants to, but the reality is that they really don't have this ability right now.

  Shen Jianing shook his shoulders, shook Shen Jiaxing's hand away, and said in a deeper voice, "No matter what you think, I will definitely not give up. No matter how much I pay, I will make that executioner Shuichi Iwai die a terrible death!"

   Shen Jiaxing frowned, guessing what his sister was thinking, but opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

  It has been more than 20 years since their parents died.

  Because she practiced compassion for a period of time, she found another sustenance in her heart, and she was not so attached.

   Shen Jianing, on the other hand, usually looks easy-going, but his obsession with revenge is deeper in his heart.

  Shen Jiaxing felt that this was not good, but she couldn't open her mouth when asked to persuade her younger sister.

   At the same time, Du Fei and Zhu Ting got on the bus.

  There are a lot of people on the bus on Sunday.

  It's hot and crowded.

   Fortunately, the two of them were lucky, and two seats came as soon as they got on the bus.

   Du Fei had quick hands and eyes, and sat on it.

  Out of Fuxingmen, the number of people on the bus gradually decreased.

  At the gate of the office compound, the two got out of the car and walked inside.

  There was no one around, Zhu Ting asked, "Xiaofei, what do you mean they called us over today without talking about anything serious, just chatting?"

  Du Fei said: "What's the meaning of it, contact us in advance, so as to save you from crouching in the future~"

  Zhu Ting pursed her lips: "I can't see it all. The way Shen Jiaxing looks at you at the dinner table always feels wrong."

  Du Fei "cut": "Stop buttoning your hats indiscriminately, she is almost a round older than me."

  Zhu Ting rolled her eyes, and thought so what, the little widow surnamed Qin is not so much older.

  Just think about it in your heart, Zhu Ting will not be foolish to point it out.

   Turned around and asked: "Do you think their attitude today represents that attitude?"

  Du Fei raised his eyebrows: "You call them godmothers?"

  Zhu Ting let out a "hmm".

Du Fei shook his head: "No, that person is very measured. It is already the limit to insert Shen Jianing here. One is to share the cake, the other is to monitor, and the third is to protect. The fire equipment company is such a big mess, we can't let our family It takes up a lot, and eating alone will never end well."

  Zhu Ting understood this truth, frowned and said: "In this case, they should keep a distance from us, why take the initiative to strengthen the relationship?"

  Du Fei smiled, and sighed: "There is a saying that eyes are high and hands are low. When a person is often around a wise man, he will mistakenly think that he has wisdom. When a person stands on the shoulders of giants for a long time, he will think that he is as tall as a mountain."

  Zhu Ting said: "You mean her?"

Du Fei nodded: "Objectively speaking, her vision and the overall situation are good. This is the result of years of edification. But employing people and knowing people... are too far apart. Others don't talk about it, just the Shen family sisters, who have been recruited since childhood. Daughter, I still can't hold back my heart."

  Du Fei shook his head slowly: "If it were me, I would have picked up that Iwai Shuichi's head by any means, and worshiped at the grave of their parents. I don't believe that these two women are willing to give their lives to me."

  Zhu Ting frowned and said, "You want to help them?"

  Du Fei immediately denied: "I have this ability, but I don't have the qualifications. If I really do such a big favor, what do you make others think?"

   The two of them were talking, and they had already returned to the door of the house.

  The other end is Shen Jianing's house.

  Shen Jianing just finished washing the dishes and tidying up the yard.

  Shen Jiaxing sat on a deck chair under the pomegranate tree and watched Qiu Chuji's version of "Journey to the West".

   Shen Jianing wiped his hands and came over: "Sister, how many years have you been reading this "Journey to the West"? It's not really like what Du Fei said, do you take this as a practice secret book?"

  Shen Jiaxing lowered the book, revealing a pair of eyes: "You believe everything he says~"

  Shen Jianing was waiting to open his mouth to speak.

  But at this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

   "Who is it?" Shen Jianing responded, got up and went over.

   "It's me, Lao Gu~" Someone responded, and came in with Shen Jianing after a while.

  Shen Jiaxing sat without moving. After Du Fei and Zhu Ting left, she changed into a loose white thin cloth gown, and her lower body was the same color exercise pants. She sat on the recliner with her bare feet crossed.

  Old Gu is a middle-aged man in his forties, he came in and called out "Director".

  Shen Jiaxing smiled and said, "Xiao Ning, pour Lao Gu a glass of water."

  Shen Jianing responded, but Lao Gu quickly said "no".

  Shen Jianing didn't listen, and went to pour him a cold drink.

  Old Gu took it and thanked him again and again, Gulu drank it all in one gulp.

  Shen Jiaxing asked: "Did you find out? Who is that person?"

   Shen Jianing is a little strange.

  Old Gu took a breath and said: "Director, it has been found out. The man's name is Wang Huifang, and he has a younger brother named Wang Kaixuan. His family used to be from Fujian Province, and his father was in the army. Something went wrong a few years ago..."

   "Wang Huifang?" Shen Jiaxing muttered, a little disappointed.

  Shen Jianing interrupted: "Sister, who is this Wang Huifang?"

  Shen Jiaxing ignored her, and asked Lao Gu again: "That's all?"

  Old Gu continued: "She currently lives in Lumicang Hutong. It used to be a water tower, which was cleaned up recently. Besides her, there is also a woman named Ding Sitian living there."

   "Water tower?" Shen Jiaxing frowned. Generally, water towers belong to the public, but they are used casually for private use. He asked, "Which unit does the water tower belong to?"

  Old Gu glanced at Shen Jianing: "It was originally from the DC area, but it was transferred to the firefighting equipment company last year."

  Shen Jiaxing and Shen Jianing were both taken aback.

   I didn't expect to go around and come back.

   After a while, Lao Gu had already left.

  Shen Jianing asked gossipingly: "Sister, who is Wang Huifang? Could it be the woman Du Fei raised outside?"

  Shen Jiaxing was speechless: "What are you thinking about~" Then he restrained his expression and said: "Do you still remember, I mentioned it to you more than half a month ago, I seem to have seen Master."

  Shen Jianing thought about it, and it really happened: "Do you think this Wang Huifang is the Master of Compassion?"

  Shen Jiaxing hesitated: "I'm not sure about the name, anyway, it's too similar, just like Master when he was young!"

   "When you were young?" Shen Jianing's eyes widened: "Don't say she's rejuvenated!"

  Shen Jiaxing shook his head: "It may be her descendant, so I asked Lao Gu to investigate."
