Chapter Seventy-Five: Hexagrams
Riverside, in front of the stalls,
“...... I know. ”
Listening to Lian Ge's words, the old lady nodded calmly,
"Have you told your family?" Lian Ge looked at the old lady and asked.
"Not yet, didn't you just come out of the hospital? The old lady shook her head, and then said with some ease,
"I didn't expect you to be really accurate, little sir, how much is the hexagram, I'll give it to you." ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the old lady and shook his head slightly,
"You already know what I counted, and it won't help you, so you won't need the money, and if you want, old lady, there's a cake stall over there, just buy me and this little thing two loaves." ”
Lian Ge glanced at the cake stall on the side of the road in the distance, glanced at the mouse squatting on his shoulder, smiled slightly and said to the old lady.
"All right," the old lady replied with a smile, and then, with her hands on her legs, she got up again and walked towards the side cake stand.
Seeing the old lady walk to the cake stall, Lian Ge then withdrew his gaze, turned his head and looked at the mouse again,
"Squeak...... Creak. The little mouse also barked twice more at Lian Ge,
"Okay, don't scream, aren't everyone else going to buy you food?" Lian Ge smiled and said to the guinea pig.
"Squeak ......"
......
Not long after, the old lady walked back to the stall carrying a small transparent plastic bag of cooking cakes.
"Little sir, give,"
As she spoke, the old lady handed the things she was holding to Lian Ge,
Looking at the obviously more things than he had asked for, Lian Ge didn't answer,
"Little sir, you are a young man with a good appetite, and I am afraid that you will not have enough bread to eat, so I will buy you more. There are also two cups of soy milk, so as not to choke when you eat it. The old lady looked at Lian Ge and explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, and still took the bag containing cooking cakes and soy milk.
"Whoa......
opened the bag, took out a cake, pulled a small piece from it and handed it to the guinea pig, Lian Ge also picked up the cake and ate it.
"Old Lady ......"
While eating this cake, Lian Ge shook his head with a smile, and said to the old lady standing in front of him,
"I'll lose a lot of money by eating more of your bread. ”
As he spoke, Lian Ge put the cake back into the bag, and at the same time carried the mana condensed in his fingertips,
Flicked his fingers at the old lady, and in an instant, a spiritual light escaped into her body.
And in an instant, the old lady also felt the change in her body, as if her whole body had become much lighter, and she felt a sense of relief.
"Little sir, this is ......"
"It's going to make your last three months a little better. ”
Lian Ge glanced at the old lady, withdrew his gaze, picked up the cake in the bag and continued to eat.
"Little Mister ......"
The old lady seemed to want to say something.
But Lian Ge just shook his head,
"Old lady, you should go back. ”
After speaking, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the side.
Seeing this, the old lady standing in front of the stall didn't bother anymore and nodded,
"Thank you, little sir......"
With that, the old lady turned and left.
......
Listening to the old lady's footsteps gradually moving away, Lian Ge retracted his gaze, glanced at the old lady who was about to leave the line of sight in the distance, and shook his head slightly.
Turning his head, Lian Ge looked at the squatting mouse on his shoulder.
The mouse who had just finished eating the cake was squatting quietly, and when he saw Lian Ge's gaze, the mouse barked at Lian Ge twice,
"Squeak...... Creak. ”
Looking at the mouse, Lian Ge smiled slightly, and then pulled a piece from his cake and handed it to it.
Then, the mouse used its two forelimbs to hold the piece of cake and gnaw it a little bit.
Retracting his gaze, Lian Ge also took the cake and ate it again.
......
Time passes slowly,
After the old lady left, no one stopped in front of the stall for a long time.
One man and one rat, just like that, you eat the three pieces of bread one by one.
finally
Three pieces of cooking cake and two cups of soy milk all went into the stomach of one man and one mouse.
"Squeak ......"
"It's gone. ”
Lian Ge looked at the circle of cooking cake scraps around the mouse's mouth, smiled and picked up the empty plastic bag and shook it off twice.
"Squeak ......"
"Alright, let's eat less. ”
......
"Master......"
Just as Lian Ge finished eating the cooking cakes, a voice sounded beside him, and another person stopped in front of his stall.
Retracting his gaze, following the sound, Lian Ge glanced at the person in front of the stall.
This is a middle-aged man, about fifty years old, and he looks very polite to Lian Ge at the moment.
"Master, can you calculate a hexagram for me?"
"Sit down. ”
Glancing at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge handed him the small stool next to him.
The middle-aged man stretched out his hands to take it, and then sat down in front of the stall.
"Actually, I've been observing you for a long time, master, and I made up my mind to come over at this time, I hope you don't be surprised, master. ”
Before Lian Ge could ask, the middle-aged man took the initiative to speak.
Hearing this, Lian Ge shook his head slightly, and then asked somewhat casually,
"Then what do you see after watching from the side for so long?"
"Master, you should be a fortune teller, and secondly, you are very young. The middle-aged man pondered his words and replied.
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, but didn't speak, just motioned for the middle-aged man to continue,
“...... More than 30 years ago, my first job was as a salesman in the sales office," the middle-aged man said to Lian Ge,
"Supposedly, as a man, I don't have any advantages in doing this job, but I still sat down from ordinary sales to sales manager within three months.
Because when I choose my target customers, I am different from everyone else, don't have to sell Seeing a rich man and an ordinary person walk into the sales department, I always like to receive rich people, and I am the opposite.
That's because I know that a rich person might just come in and have a look, and an ordinary person who isn't very rich will come in, definitely because he needs to buy a house. ”
"Thinking backwards is very interesting. Lian Ge smiled and nodded.
"yes, reverse thinking. The middle-aged man also nodded,
"Generally, fortune tellers, either rely on the appearance of the fairy wind bones, or rely on the age of the white beard, no matter how bad it is, there is a famous inheritance, and these, you don't have it, master, then I think, master, you can sit here safely, you should rely on your own ability. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man and couldn't help but smile again,
"I think you should go fortune-telling. ”
Shaking his head, Lian Ge looked at the middle-aged man and asked somewhat casually,
"What do you want to count. ”
Hearing this, the smile on the middle-aged man's face gradually converged, and he became solemn,
"Master, I'll tell you the truth, I have a key decision to make recently, this decision, what awaits me is either to go further, or to be in the abyss. So I want you to help me calculate, master, whether the decision I have made in my heart is right or wrong. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the middle-aged man, and did not answer immediately, but instead said,
"Hexagram gold is half of your family property, are you still counting?"
Hearing this, a smile appeared on the middle-aged man's face,
"Count, why not. ”
"Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?"
"If you lie to me, master, I can still call the police. I believe that such a large amount of fraud will definitely attract attention, and I will be able to get the money back at that time.
Although it is a little troublesome, it will not be a loss after all. The middle-aged man said frankly,
"It's the master that you should be worried about, and I won't admit it when the time comes. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled, looked at the middle-aged man and replied,
"If you dare, that's fine. ”
After smiling, the smile on Lian Ge's face retracted, and he looked at the middle-aged man again and asked,
"Are you sure you want to exchange half of your fortune for a sentence?"
