Rebirth 1977 Great Era

Chapter 73 Provocation, Opportunity

He just slipped away, and now he's here.

What are you here for?
You're not here to cause trouble and then take the opportunity to beat someone up in the store, right?

After a little thought, Fangyan guessed that it was most likely that this person came here to recognize his face.

I stopped just now and scared them away. I probably didn't see my face clearly. Now I come here to remember my face so that I can take action later.

They probably don't know yet that he and Le Miao have already found out what they look like.

Fang Yan wiped his hands with a towel, then stood up and said to Le Miao:

"I'll go out and see."

Le Miao actually wanted Fang Yan not to go out. When she saw Fang Yan was about to go out, she hurriedly tried to stop him, but Fang Yan waved his hand, didn't say anything more, and just walked out.

As long as I work here, even if he doesn't recognize my face this time, he will be recognized next time. I might as well go out now and take the opportunity to see who the other person is.

After lifting the door curtain at the back hall and coming to the front, Fang Yan immediately saw a middle-aged man standing in front of the examination table, staring at the acupuncture points on the bronze man.

The visual diagnosis skill was activated, and information quickly appeared in Fangyan's mind.

He was less than 1.7 meters tall, looked to be in his forties, had a neat crew cut, and wore a pair of old-fashioned tortoise-shell glasses. His eyes were bright and bulging, and he had a morbid agitation, which made people feel that he was very aggressive. The glasses on his face reduced this feeling.

There may be some problems with the liver and brain.

His lips are very thin and they cannot close due to bad teeth, and there is a noticeable gap between his front teeth.

His neck was thick and veins bulged out, much like a professional boxer in his past life.

He was wearing a clean white shirt with bulging muscles, ordinary black trousers and a pair of brand new Nei Liansheng cloth shoes. At first glance, he looked like an energetic and healthy worker.

However, Fangyan noticed at a glance that the man's palms were particularly large, and there were obvious calluses on the joints, which were caused by hitting sandbags or other external objects over the years.

The index and middle fingers are particularly thick, and the skin color is darker, as if caused by frequent soaking in medicine.

The way he walks is also very interesting. It is not like a normal person. His walking posture is similar to that of treading. At first it didn't seem like a big deal, but Fangyan soon discovered that this way of walking lowers the center of gravity and makes the person very stable.

Moreover, there should be something heavy tied in the trouser leg of this person, but it is probably not a sandbag, but probably a piece of iron or stone.

Let him have a little extra force in every step.

I don’t know what kind of kung fu this person is practicing.

Fang Yan only observed him for a few breaths, but he got so much information. The other party also saw him. Their eyes met. After seeing Fang Yan's white coat, the man's eyes instantly revealed some undisguised malice. He lowered his head, forced a smile with his slanted eyes, pushed his glasses, and asked Fang Yan:

"Are you the doctor here?"

With a movement of lowering his shoulders and shaking his hands, Fang Yan suddenly felt the danger warning appearing on his body again, and the hairs on his body stood up.

Almost at the same time, his eyes were fixed on the other person, and his body involuntarily wanted to attack the man as if by instinct. He crouched slightly, jumped over the ravine like a tiger, and subconsciously made the pre-force movement. As soon as he exerted force, he reached the distance of three to five meters in an instant.

The other party seemed to sense a hint of danger, and immediately stopped his movements and steps, silently taking three steps back.

"Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Fang Yan suppressed the urge to rush to the doctor and sat down in front of the examination table.

Although he knew that the other party had ill intentions, he remained restrained.

He knew that the man came here not only to recognize his face, but also to test him. His reaction in the morning had obviously made him concerned.

Most people don't have such a high level of alertness.

When the man heard Fangyan's question, he narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and tapped his chest with his hand:
"I feel uncomfortable."

"I heard that there is a doctor named Fang here who is very immoral. He slandered a retired old doctor and put him in jail at such an old age. Can you tell me what I should do?"

Fang Yan was stunned. Once the other party said this, it was considered as confession?

What does that mean? I thought he was testing me!

Is he brainless? Or is he arrogant and looks down on himself?

Or maybe...the three of them didn't act in unison?

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, but Fang Yan remained calm on the surface. Facing the other party's fierce eyes, he said calmly:
"That old doctor wasn't just slandered. What he did was truly detrimental to medical ethics."

The middle-aged man sneered and said:

"Heh... I don't believe what others say. I only know that the old doctor is a good person."

"He is so old and still has to suffer. I feel very uncomfortable." Fang Yan looked at the man in front of him and felt that he was a little weird.

He said:
"I can see it..."

The man was startled and asked:

"Hmm? What did you see?"

"I guess your other two companions didn't ask you to come and provoke them?" Fang Yan said.

Hearing this, the other party laughed and said:
"Hahaha, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm the only one here. Where did you see anyone else?"

“…” Fangyan was speechless.

He asked the man:

"You were squatting at the entrance of the alley this morning, right? You, Gu Siqi, and another young man. You were smoking at the time, and I happened to pass by. When you wanted to take action, I found you. Gu Siqi was scared, so he took you away from the scene. But you didn't accept it, and now you left them alone to come to me. You shouldn't have discussed it with them, right?"

The man's smile faded, revealing a bit of fear and doubt, and he smacked his lips and said:
"Tsk, I told you to just fight! Why do you have to go through so many twists and turns?"

After saying this, he suddenly pinched the corner of Fangyan's examination table with his left hand. With a "click", a concave fingerprint appeared on it.

Fangyan's pupils shrank, and he almost couldn't help but stab out with the double iron birch sticks in his sleeves.

"Oh... yes, that's the look in your eyes that I want!"

After doing this, the man was very satisfied with Fangyan's reaction.

"Next time we meet, don't talk too much, I'll show you the real deal."

He smiled and opened his hands towards Fang Yan, made a provocative gesture of clenched fist, stared at Fang Yan and took a few steps back.

After making sure he was at a safe distance, he turned around and quickly walked out of the store, disappearing from sight at a very fast speed.

Fang Yan took a look at the thumb print on the examination table, then pressed hard with his hand under the table. Before he used too much force, he heard a "click" and a deeper fingerprint was pressed out.

The material of this table is not as hard as I thought.

At the same time, he immediately had an idea of ​​the man's power.

Moreover, he had just seen the man's palm clearly. There were pink patches on the thenar and hypothenar eminences on both sides of the palm and the inner sides of each finger, which appeared to be cinnabar in color. This is liver palm, which means that he really has liver problems. No wonder he seems to be unable to control his temper.

After the man left, everyone gathered around the dialect diagnosis table and asked what had happened. Everyone had listened to the conversation between the two people and could tell something was wrong, and it was obvious that the matter was related to Gu Xiutang.

There were those who were curious and those who were concerned, and everyone started to ask questions about Fangyan.

In the end, it was Le Miao who came out and helped the people in the store return to their posts.

Le Miao stood in front of Fang Yan and asked in a low voice:
"I see something."

Fang Yan touched his chin, looked at the fingerprints on the examination table and said:
"This middle-aged man practices martial arts, some kind of external boxing to strengthen the bones and muscles. He has more calluses on his left hand, so he must be left-handed. Judging from his accent, he is a native of Beijing."

"And this guy's actions were very arrogant, which was different from the cautious guy at the entrance of the alley. I suspect that the three of them were not acting in unison."

"Gu Siqi and another young man who didn't show up may be more worrying."

He said with a smile:
"Also, judging from the threat he made when he left just now, it is unlikely that he will attack me later than tomorrow."

"Before tomorrow? That's today, and you can still laugh?" Le Miao looked a little unhappy.

Fangyan waved his hand and said:
"In fact, this is the best way. There is a saying that goes, 'You can steal for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.' If they really do nothing, I will still be worried."

Le Miao said:

"So what are you going to do next? How about calling the police?"

Fangyan shook his head:
"With so many people watching, he didn't do anything to me this time. Even if I call the police, they won't be able to catch him. Besides, threats alone won't work for this kind of person."

"Then you..." Le Miao didn't know why Fang Yan still looked calm and confident.

The dialect said:

"You forgot that I also learned Kung Fu from Master Lu."

Fangyan had already thought about it, and the practical support he had been waiting for was finally here, wasn’t it?
