Chapter Seventy-One Old Territory
"Thanks, Uncle. The house is No. 386 Wenhua Lane, right next to Chongren Palace. The old lady is asking for 1.2 million, I think we can still negotiate the price down a bit..."
Qin Feng roughly introduced the situation of the house to Xie Dazhi, then said: "However, don't buy this house in my name, it's better to use Xie Xuan's."
"Why is this? Qin Feng, Xiao Xuan has a house, or write your name..."
Xie Dazhi looked at Qin Feng with some curiosity, thinking that in his generation's mindset, having a house is what makes a home, but he had never seen anyone spend their own money to buy a house and then put someone else's name on it.
"Thank you, Uncle. Xuan is my brother, let me tell you about that store..."
Qin Feng smiled and changed the subject to that shop on Antique Street, "Now no one dares to take over that shop. I hope after you, Uncle Xie, take it over, you will suspend business for a month first."
"Of course, we'll pay the rent and all that, just don't let others find out who actually bought this shop..."
Qin Feng did not conceal the situation of that store, and told Xie Dazhi about it in detail. As he listened, Xie Dazhi's face changed color constantly, apparently he had also heard of Yuan Bingqi's name.
"Qin Feng, you'd better not take that shop. These local snakes are not to be trifled with." If it were in Shishi City, Xie Dazhi would naturally not be afraid, but in Jin Tian he had no foundation and was unwilling to provoke these underworld figures.
"Thank you, Uncle, it's nothing, just sign the contract with Yuanzi's name..."
Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "After the formalities are completed, let that person named Shen Nan return to Beijing directly, then lock up the Wenbaozhai and it's done. The names of the Farzi people won't be investigated for the time being."
"...the shop will still have to open, right?" Xie Dazhi was somewhat puzzled by Qin Feng's thoughts. Having offended the local snakehead, how could their future days be so easy?
"When the time comes, just give them protection money and that's it. Others pay 2,000, can't we pay 4,000?" Qin Feng casually made up a nonsense, he couldn't say that he himself was too busy to deal with Yuan now.
"Alright, I'll help you with two things for sure."
Seeing Qin Feng's persistence, Xie Dazhi didn't say much either. At that time, if something really happened, he could also find a friend to speak for him in front of Yuan Bingqi, and the other party would probably give him some face.
------------------------
After settling things in Tianjin, Qin Feng bought a ticket and went straight to Cangzhou.
This time, apart from finding his sister, Qin Feng also had to make a trip to the Liu family. It wasn't mentioned when he was in prison, but now that he's out, not visiting the Liu family would be impolite.
Standing at the gate of Liu's large courtyard, Qin Feng was somewhat distracted. He had brought his sister here countless times in the past, but now he was alone.
"Woof... Woof woof!"
A sudden burst of urgent barking came from the Liu family's courtyard, followed by a large yellow dog with some hair loss on its back, shooting out of the yard like an arrow off the string.
"What are you doing, Dahuang?"
Liu Jiacheng's voice rang out, and then followed by Da Huang running out of the yard. The action was not like a sixty-year-old old man at all, and his movements were still very agile.
"Huh? Who are you?"
When Liu Jiacheng saw the big yellow dog intimately entwined with a young man, his eyes widened in shock, incredulously staring at the scene before him. In the Liu family, no one knew the old dog's temperament better than he did.
At that time, Qin Feng and his sister had an accident, Liu Jia Cheng and several brothers, as well as Liu Zi Mo, were all on the island. By the time they returned, everything had settled down, leaving no room for maneuvering.
Later, Liu Zimo brought back Da Huang, who was on the verge of starvation, from Qin Feng's residence.
When he first came to the Liu family, the big yellow dog's temper was extremely violent and killed a Tibetan Mastiff that the Liu family had spent over 10,000 yuan on. Except for Liu Zimo, no one in the Liu family could get close to this big yellow dog.
Later, Liu Zimo left the Liu family's large courtyard in Cangzhou, and the task of taking care of the big yellow dog was handed over to Liu Jia Cheng. He also liked the dog's loyalty and it took him more than half a year to get the big yellow dog to accept him.
At this moment, Da Huang is actually so affectionate with a stranger, which makes Liu Jia Cheng's eyes widen in shock. To think that over the past few years, the Liu family hasn't spent less money compensating for Da Huang biting people.
"Rhubarb, I'm going to die..."
Hugging the big yellow dog's neck tightly, Qin Feng's eyes were filled with tears. He could feel the unconditional love from the big yellow dog beneath him. The scenes of following his sister behind the big yellow dog in the past flashed through his mind like a movie.
"Wooo... wuuu..."
Da Huang let out a low whine in his throat, his eyes, which seemed to hold the ability to speak, overflowed with tears, gently biting onto Qin Feng's arm, refusing to let go. Sometimes, an animal's emotions can be more genuine and loyal than those of humans.
"I won't leave anymore, Da Huang, from now on we'll be together forever."
Sentenced to four years in prison, Qin Feng didn't shed a single tear. He followed his master to learn the art of enduring beatings, and Qin Feng always clenched his teeth tightly. Only at Zai Yi's death and this moment did his tears seem like an unstoppable floodgate bursting out.
In fact, Qin Feng had returned to Cangzhou once a few years ago and had thought of taking Dahuang away, but at that time he was still in prison. On the one hand, he didn't want to be discovered by the Liu family, and on the other hand, even if he brought Dahuang back, Qin Feng had nowhere to settle him.
"I... I see, you... you little brat are Qin Feng!"
Liu Jiacheng, who was standing at the door, suddenly thought of a possibility that only when he met his former master would Dahuang behave in such a way.
"Uncle Liu, it's me! I'm Qin Feng!"
Wiping away a tear, Qin Feng lifted his head. Compared to four years ago, his pointed chin had become much rounder, but the shadow of the former Qin Feng could still be found in those eyes.
"Good kid, Sub-Mo called you on the phone a while ago."
Liu Jiacheng patted Qin Feng's shoulder heavily and said, "You still have a conscience, you haven't forgotten old Liu's family yet. Ah, Da Huang, you even bit me?"
Liu Jiacheng's slap on Qin Feng's shoulder wasn't a big deal, but the big yellow dog that was originally wagging its tail around Qin Feng became unhappy and suddenly bit down on Liu Jiacheng's arm. Although it didn't bite hard, Liu Jiacheng's sleeve was torn apart.
"Damn it, I've wasted all these years raising you!" Liu Jia Cheng scolded Da Huang in a bad mood, but from now on he didn't dare to show excessive affection towards Qin Feng again. This old dog was capable of turning his back on people without hesitation.
"Uncle Liu, it's okay, Huang, no biting people!" Qin Feng anxiously supported Liu Jiacheng and saw that his arm wasn't bleeding, only then did he feel at ease.
Qin Feng has been taking care of his sister since childhood, and he is used to people's cold eyes. However, for those who are good to him, Qin Feng also remembers them in his heart, like Liu Jia Cheng in front of him, who had taken care of him many times before.
"It's nothing, fortunately I reacted quickly."
Liu Jiacheng shook his head. When he was about to take a big bite, the muscles on his arm contracted involuntarily, otherwise this mouthful would definitely have drawn blood.
"Go on in and talk, good kid, you've really grown up."
Liu Jiacost thought of taking another shot at Qin Feng, but seeing the big yellow tiger staring at him with a fierce gaze, he withdrew his hand in embarrassment.
"Uncle Liu, I...I'm going in, won't I be causing you trouble?"
Qin Feng said hesitantly, the Sun brothers he killed back then had many relatives in this small town, and if word got out, Qin Feng was afraid that the Liu family would clash with them.
"What trouble? What trouble?" Liu Jiacheng's eyes widened, "We Liu family don't look for trouble with others, in this Cangzhou land, who dares to look for our trouble?"
Since Liu Yunjiao rose to power, the Liu family has been a major force in the northern Jianghu, with a reputation that can shake the four corners of the earth. On the surface, they recruit disciples and teach martial arts, but secretly, they also engage in some shady businesses, and may not necessarily put the country's laws in their eyes.
In Liu Jiacheng's view, those two useless things in the Sun family, even if they died, would just die, but they still caused Qin Feng to spend several years in prison. In these few years, he didn't bother the Sun family less.
With the Qin wind walking into the yard, Liu Jiacheng stretched out his hand to beckon a sturdy man in his thirties, saying: "Ma Si, go and weigh two catties of pork head meat in town, buy a roast chicken, and also weigh some donkey meat..."
"Uncle Liu, Fourth Brother, no need to be so polite." Qin Feng recognized the middle-aged man called Ma Si, who was one of Liu Jiacheng's entry-level disciples. His kung fu skills were very solid, and in his younger years, Qin Feng had often secretly learned from him.
"Do you know me? Master, who is this?"
After hearing Qin Feng's words, Ma Si looked at him with some confusion, and suddenly a look of realization appeared on his face. He said: "You little devil is Qin Feng, hey, you've grown up so big? When you first came, you were still a small bean sprout."
Qin Feng was not very close to kids of the same age when he was in this small town, but the adults in the town all liked him and often used Qin Feng's sensible nature to scold their own children.
"Qin Feng brothers, wait a moment, I'll buy some vegetables and come back. Tonight, let's accompany our master and have a good drink!"
Although Qin Feng committed murder and killed five people back then, if it were an ordinary person who knew about this, they would probably take a detour to avoid him.
But in the eyes of a Jianghu man like Ma Si, killing a few people is nothing. Taking revenge and settling scores with gusto is what a real man does, so his attitude towards Qin Feng also became more respectful.
