Master of Physiognomy

Chapter 4 Leaving Home

Edson recently feels that life is not very comfortable. Thinking about it, although he had no money in his previous life, there was a steady stream of various alchemy equipment. Even after the teacher died, all kinds of people sent them to his door. He himself can find many in the forest.Looking at the present, after coming to this world, he found that the natural energy was severely damaged, and there were only a handful of alchemy equipment he could get.

Edson looked at the small stone in his hand. This was a substitute he had been looking for for a long time. The so-called alchemy, the original source of the word is to refine worthless things into gold, but this does not mean anything They can all be used to refine alchemy products. On the contrary, some special alchemy products require special and precious materials. Now he has nothing but the knowledge of his previous life, but his control over alchemy has returned to the original, and some things will not follow. The soul came together, like the most basic talisman. It came with a pinch in the previous life, but now it took more than a month to take shape.

This can't be blamed on Edson, any alchemist who doesn't know a few magics needs the help of magic more or less when refining, but since he came to this world, he absorbed it through the meditation method in his previous life. What came was not elemental power at all. Although the same kind of spiritual power was recorded in the classics, it was much slower and gentler than magic. If Edson didn't have innate help, it might not be easy for Edson to absorb it.

Seeing the momentum in his hands, Edson smiled smugly. His small, cracked mouth and fine teeth looked a little cute. A man knows how to keep a low profile. Before he doesn't have enough self-protection ability, he won't To show his extraordinaryness, you must know that he is more likely to be regarded as a monster when he says that he can do alchemy now, and the tail of his lower body is still wagging.

If Wan Tingfang's complexion wasn't too bad recently, and the dark clouds between her brows were covered with blood, it could be seen that there was a catastrophe ahead. Edson cared about his mother most in his life, and he was always thinking of himself There must be no accidents with the woman, and he didn't know much about physiognomy, so he didn't dare to play tricks, so he had to use alchemy to refine a simple and practical amulet.

Edson squeezed the small stone, found a red thread and threaded it on it. Maybe it was the reason of the unknown aura, which could only be felt before, but now he could really see the golden light lingering on the amulet. It was the convenience brought by the physiognomy, and Edson was proud of it. After he learned how to read, he translated the book. As long as he is given time, he will naturally understand it.

"Dabao, what are you doing? Mom didn't even see it when she came in." In the past, the child would rush over when she came back. Occasionally, she was not used to it for a day without it. Wan Tingfang smiled and pinched the child's nose, and looked around. The elders and aunts nodded their heads to express their gratitude. Usually, they would also help to look after the child. Although Dabao has always been very well-behaved, he is only a three-year-old child and looks good. Wan Tingfang is very afraid that the child will mess around. He was taken away by a kidnapper, and he didn't see that the messy little boy in the next village was wanted.

"Mom, you're back." Edson called out sweetly, then immediately lifted up the stone in his hand, and said with a smile, "Mom, I gave it to you and made it for myself."

Wan Tingfang looked down and saw that it was a small stone with scratches all over the top. It was interesting to look at it irregularly. An old lady next to her looked at it and said with a smile: "I said Dabao doesn't read books and play with stones so much today. Well, it turned out to be a gift for you, and we were not allowed to see it just now, Tingfang, this child will definitely be filial in the future."

Wan Tingfang smiled and kissed her son, stretched out her hand and immediately put the stone around her neck, and found that the red headband was from her side two days ago. Touched and bitter, except for her father and brother at home, no one had ever given her anything in her life. Thinking of her husband and mother-in-law, the woman felt depressed for a while.

Wan Tingfang worked as a female worker in a textile factory, which was considered a good job at the time. She was selected because she was rarely able to read, and she was not tired of what she had to do every day. The workload is just fine. Although the salary is not as high as that of Zhang Dasheng in the watch factory, the advantage is that her commuting time is regular. She rushes home every day to take care of her children.

This day also started working as usual. Their workshop director is the distant cousin of the local mayor’s wife. Everything else is good but illiterate. In fact, there are not many people who can really read and keep accounts these days. Wan Tingfang is only because of this. The cousin who was selected was quite generous, and usually subsidized her with the grain and oil from his hair.

When it was almost time to get off work, the female workers below all started to hand in today's tasks. Wan Tingfang stood by and started to keep accounts. After a while, she heard shouting from the warehouse, and rushed over without waiting for a response from the side billowing black smoke. , put down the textile factory and there was a mess, there were more female workers here, and there was no one to rescue them for a while.

The director of Wan Tingfang's workshop was the first to rush over. There are water tanks beside the warehouse, but the fire is getting bigger and bigger. These things are inflammable, and there are sparks outside all of a sudden. There was a big shipment yesterday, and there is not much left at the moment, but if the fire spreads to several other places, the loss will be great. Wan Tingfang hurriedly followed up to help. At this time, everyone came back to their senses. Those who move things move things.

In the years to come, Wan Tingfang could always think of the scene of that day. If the pillar hadn't been blocked by the frame when it fell down, she wouldn't have ruined her clothes. Looking back, she shouldn't have been too impulsive Well, if she dies, what will Dabao do? She doesn't believe that the two at home can treat her children well.

Originally, someone in the factory went to inform Zhang Dasheng to send her back, but the person who went there didn't see anyone at all. Wan Tingfang had to continue wearing the tattered clothes, and went back after a temporary piece of cloth was approved outside. I wanted to send her off, but people couldn't leave the factory for a while.

Wan Tingfang walked all the way thinking about what happened today. It was a fluke that she survived. If she was really smashed, it would be useless if the king of heaven came. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she was. She was not worried about her own life. He was worried that no one would take care of his children when he died. No one in this world has a daily misfortune. He may not be able to do it at any time, and Dabao will have to be bullied to death by then.

Although Wan Tingfang was born in a rural area, her father, who was a fortune teller since she was a child, has gained a lot of knowledge. Going back 20 years, those high-ranking officials were obedient in front of her father. She married Zhang Dasheng to see that he was honest. It's reliable, but it's a pity that she was blind and insisted on using candles as silver. No wonder the old man always said that she was blind, maybe he saw her now.

Ever since she recognized the true colors of the mother and child, Wan Tingfang had never thought about taking the child back, but firstly, she was afraid that the child would be bullied after losing her father, and secondly, she was too cash-strapped. Here, she doesn't even have travel expenses, and her family has no connection with this place all these years, because it is too far away.

When she got home, no one except her son noticed what happened to her. She didn't believe that her husband and mother-in-law would not know about such a big event as a fire in the textile factory. They just didn't take themselves seriously, and Wan Ting thought about it Fang thought about it carefully, and the director secretly said that the factory would give a bonus. Although it was not much, it was definitely enough for the travel expenses, but if he really wanted to go back, he would have to pay more, otherwise his brother would not speak for so many years. I must have married my sister-in-law, so how can my sister-in-law not dislike her.

Wan Tingfang still believes in her father and brother, which is better than the mother-in-law and husband in this family. Even if the sister-in-law feels uncomfortable, she will definitely not embarrass their mother and child. She is not without arms and legs. Can't even support a child.

What really made Wan Tingfang make up her mind was her husband's attitude. At the beginning, she comforted herself that a man would always be colder after a long marriage, but she even saw it with her own eyes when several female workers who had befriended her outside talked openly and secretly. Once, the so-called village head's daughter waited for so many years, who would not know that she did something worse than pigs and dogs. Wild flowers are always better than those grown at home. Just look at the men who have been away from home for a few days.

Wan Tingfang tentatively asked the child about his father a few times, and Edson naturally took the opportunity to make a big show, making the woman think that the child had never been loved by his father since he was a child, and even now he has no feelings for his father. Divorce is not difficult, and it is not difficult to take Dabao away. Her mother-in-law may be happy to be on the oil bottle, but she will not be hard even if she goes back without a sum of money.

Edson didn't know that a woman could do such a thing for herself. Wan Tingfang knew that the husband in this family couldn't make the decision. Although he still felt a little guilty about himself, the guilt couldn't be eaten. After thinking about it She simply found her mother-in-law, and directly exposed the messy affairs between her husband and the village head's daughter. It was obvious that she wanted money. Will the village chief marry his daughter?

Granny Zhang never expected that a daughter-in-law who has always been reasonable would come here, but a big girl hangs out with a married man. Although many people know about it secretly, it may be said that this marriage is really going to happen. Blowing, since the daughter-in-law wants to take the money and leave, it is naturally the best. Granny Zhang gritted her teeth and did not let go. Wan Tingfang sneered, opened the door and howled twice, this is not a joke of.

Granny Zhang finally took out some of the money, not much, only her half-year salary, which was much better than expected, Wan Tingfang didn't look at her husband's ashamed face, and brought the money back the next day after signing. I moved my child to a friend's house in a textile factory to borrow money, and sold my female worker's quota after receiving the bonus here. If it was normal, I definitely couldn't do this, but the director helped a lot. There is also a huge sum of nearly 500 yuan.

Wan Tingfang didn't know that the director paid out of his own pocket, otherwise he would not give such a good price even if he wanted to buy the textile factory. She was very grateful to these people who helped her, thinking that she might see them all in the future It was a bit sad to be gone, and those who were close to her knew the situation at home, and were very upset with such a mother-in-law. When they got on the train, everyone added some food, but the luggage was packed to the brim.
