Sung Lin's

Uncle's identity

In one of the places in the city there is one of the food vendors are quite famous. Many people come there just to feel the pleasure of food sold by the store.

"Go there you boy ! You're just gonna make my customers less !" said the shopkeeper while pushing Sung Lin to the ground.

Slowly Sung Lin stood up while staring at the hateful person who had pushed him. "Who would want to work here !"

After he finished yelling, he ran away from the store. Go somewhere not crowded enough with people who can see it.

"Why ? Why won't they accept me ? Is it because of this shabby shirt of mine ?" Sung Lin had already visited many shops to get a job, but all the shopkeepers were unwilling to accept Sung Lin.

After that he started going to a store that sold clothes. Upon arriving there Sung Lin took out 1 tael of silver from his pocket. He asked if there were any clothes that could be bought with his money, and it turned out to be there. Sung Lin bought the shirt even though his shirt was a bit old fashioned but it was better than his already shabby and torn clothes.

Sung Lin then went to a store to get a job. In this shop that Sung Lin visited there were not many people who visited. The store was owned by a grandfather who sold a food called Kwettiao.

"Excuse me, does this store need workers ?" sung Lin asked the grandfather in front of him.

Grandpa looked at the boy in front of him like he needed a job. The grandfather then asked Sung Lin, "What's your name ? And why are you asking me that ?"

Sung Lin then replied, "My name is Sung Lin sir and I need a job to survive".

The grandfather was surprised by the answer given by Sung Lin. What does it mean to survive ? Not knowing what the grandfather meant, he asked Sung Lin again. "Where are your Mom and Dad ? Don't you have a family ?"

Sung Lin became silent and slightly shook his head in a sign that he had no family.

The grandfather who felt sorry for Sung Lin's condition, the grandfather then accepted Sung Lin as his worker. "Come, son, now you can work here and for home you can sleep in the shop but you have to be active in work".

Sung Lin who heard the reply from the grandfather, he became delighted. He finally got a job. It was very interesting for him to tell Dong Feng this good news but unfortunately he did not know where Dong Feng was.

The grandfather then offered Sung Lin a bowl of Kwettiao. Grandfather knew that Sung Lin must be hungry and had not eaten anything therefore he told Sung Lin to eat.

"Son Lin after you finish eating please buy one sack of rice near the information building ! And here's the money to buy the rice" the grandfather put the money on the table where Sung Lin was eating.

"Good grandpa !"

Sung Lin quickly finished his meal and immediately went to buy the rice that Wang's grandfather had told him to buy.

Sung Lin entered the shop next to the information building. After he finished buying the rice, he left the store.

"Hey is that right ?"

"Yes, isn't it obvious ?"

'What do those people see ?' Curious about what these people saw. Sung Lin then walked towards the front of the information board.

On the information board was the face of someone familiar to Sung Lin. 'What ? Isn't that what was drawn was uncle Dong Feng !?'

[Yan Feng. The traitor of the Baek clan. Whoever finds and reports it will be rewarded with 250 taels of gold]

Sung Lin was shocked when he saw the fact that the uncle he had been with was a fugitive who was being pursued by the Baek clan.

'Why did uncle get targeted by the Baek clan ? What exactly did uncle do ?' All those questions kept flinching in Sung Lin's mind. Such a kind uncle to Sung Lin could not possibly have done any evil deeds. Sung Lin had always believed that it was impossible for his uncle who had been with him to carry out such an act that made him a fugitive.

"Just to report this guy and will get 250 taels of gold ? I think this person called Dong Feng has already made a fatal mistake".

"But isn't the Baek clan a clan that always gets along well ? How could any one of its members be a traitor ?"

"Hey, don't say that. It was possible that that person had actually made a mistake that even the Baek clan could not forgive".

"You have a point too".

Everyone in front of the information board was talking about Dong Feng who was a traitor to the Baek clan. It made Sung Lin feel annoyed.

Sung Lin immediately left from there unwilling to hear Dong Feng being in disrepute. He went back to Grandfather Wang's shop with a feeling that was still upset and confused by Dong Feng's identity.

That night at Grandpa Wang's shop. Sung Lin worked earnestly serving the visiting customers to eat. Grandpa Wang made the food. The work Sung Lin did was quite exhausting, probably because it was his first day at work.

After the last customer is out and the time shop is closed. Sung Lin cleaned up and cleaned the tables and chairs that were there.

"Well son now it's time for the store to close and this is the mat for you to sleep on" said Wang's grandfather as he gave one mat that Sung Lin would use to sleep on.

"Thank you grandfather" Sung Lin said as he received the mat Wang's grandfather gave him.

"Your son sleeps well because tomorrow we still have to work again" Wang said.

After finishing giving the mat, Wang's grandfather then closed his shop and went inside leaving Sung Lin.

Since it was now time for bed, Sung Lin used that time to practice. He sat down cross-legged and began to absorb the Qi around. Even though he practiced but it was also the same as him taking a break. What distinguishes him is that he closes his eyes with a state that is still conscious.
