(QING)

Present day...

Feng Jing.

Wu Jing born 1910, the niece of Wu La, married a Feng. Wu Jing, became Feng Jing and now I am tracking her family. Feng Jing had only one son, Feng Yan Zhen born 1935. Feng Yan Zhen also produced a sole son, Feng Xiao Wei born 1968. Feng Xiao Wei is now 49 years old, married, owned and working as a car mechanic.

And now I stood in front of Feng Xiao Wei's car shop. Situated in the outskirt of Beijing, this shop was built by Feng Yan Zhen, Feng Xiao Wei's father and developed a reputation of having the best mechanics in this part of the city.

But I am not here to get my car checked. I am here because the Fengs are Wu La's blood relative. Wu La who cursed my family. And I have to know why she cursed our family and how we can break the curse.

That is, if the Feng had an idea about why Wu La cursed the Wangs in the first place.

This is complicated.

The shop is open. I saw at least five men working inside the garage. I took a deep breath and get off my car. I stick my head inside the mechanic shop.

"Hello...?" I hesitated for a bit. When everyone remained busy, I cleared my throat, stood straight and called again in a louder tone. "Hello. Can I please have a word with Mr.Feng?"

The five men there stopped working. A middle aged bespectacled man with rust and oil in his hands and jumpsuit came forward. "I am Mr.Feng, what can I do for you?"

"Hello, Sir. Ah..." I don't know how to say this. "I just want to ask a few question..."

"Is it your car? Is it broken? Where is it?"

"No, Sir. My car is working fine. Ah," I swallowed hard. "I am Wang Qing. I think your great aunt...cursed us...?"

Mr.Feng look at me like I am strange. I cannot blame him entirely. What I said was really strange. Curses, at this time and age. We are living in a modern world, what's this about curses?! Fuck...

I tried for some damage control before Mr.Feng called for a police, "Sir...I can explain..."

"Come in," Mr.Feng chimed in. I stopped in surprise.

"I can come in, Sir?" I asked just to make sure.

"Yes," Mr.Feng smiled at me. "I have been waiting for you..." he said before turning away to walk inside the shop. He looked at me. "Follow me,"

I nodded dumbfoundedly and followed him.

Mr.Feng took me behind the shop where there is a two storey house. So his residence is behind his shop.

"Come in..." Mr.Feng opened the door and went inside. I followed him.

The inside of the house looks clean and very homey. I thanked Mr.Feng when he gave me a pair of indoor slippers. I took my shoes off and put on the slipper so I can follow him inside their home.

When Mr.Feng made a turn, I followed suit and saw a woman sitting in the long sofa while mending clothes.

"We have a visitor." The woman must be Mr.Feng's wife. Well they have a big wedding portrait in the middle of the room so, that's my first clue.

"Hello, Ma'am..." I bowed to her respectfully.

"He is here about Wu La," Mr.Feng said. "Where is Dayu?"
