Chapter 218: The Man Who Can't Be Counted
Lei Jun is not the Lei Jun of the boss of Xiaomi. As a fortune teller, Lei Jun knows neither English nor "Are-You-OK", nor has he ever been to India, nor does he have rice noodles.
He's just an ordinary person, well, at least before the crossing. In the 80s, he told people fortunes on the street.
At that time, I also raised a bird with ingenuity and made a so-called spirit bird word test. Not to mention, it was quite popular at that time, and he made a lot of money from this.
If it hadn't been time-traveled, maybe he would have become a wealthy man in the 80s, buy more than a dozen storefronts in the Liberation Monument, and then be a comfortable apartment.
But the past can only be reminisced! Now that Lei Jun has returned to the earth, he is still doing his old job, fortune-telling and word measurement. Because he doesn't have any other skills.
Fortunately, in the world he traveled, he had a plug-in called [Qin Tianjian]. You can help him divinate good fortune and misfortune. After returning to Earth, although the ability of this plug-in has weakened a lot, it is still somewhat useful.
It may not work to really approve the life of a person, but there is still a 30% accuracy in making some small speculations.
Fortune telling, in the end, depends on eloquence. It's best to talk about something ambiguous. Sometimes it doesn't matter whether the fortune telling is accurate or not, the most important thing is that the ears and mouth will say, and the person who says it will be convinced, and finally pay obediently.
When he got up this morning, Lei Jun calculated a hexagram for himself, mainly to calculate how today's business was.
Because fortune telling is also a business, my house is also rented, with a rent of 8,000 yuan per month. You have to make sure that you have an income of at least 500 yuan a day, so that you can pay the rent, water and electricity, and have enough money to eat.
It's not easy to do business right now. Don't think that fortune telling makes money, that's in the past.
Ever since there were many returnees from another world who had returned with their fortune-tellers and fortune-tellers, the competition in the industry has become more and more intense.
Because there are more and more capable people who can tell fortunes like themselves and can really calculate some bad luck. The whole industry is in a big reshuffle.
Previously the house here was inhabited by a so-called fortune teller. Originally, people were good, although it was not accurate, but people could talk and figure out their hearts. So it was originally mixed with abundant water.
until he set up a stall in his store downstairs......
"Hey, business is not good. I heard that the gentlemen who specialize in fortune telling in the temple and the hall are starting to lose their jobs. There are fewer and fewer people who come to them for fortune telling. But also, among the returnees who have returned, there are many fortune-telling abilities. The market is that big. โ
"There are a few well-known fortune tellers in a prefecture-level city, and the market for others is not good. โ
Lei Jun pinched his beard and shook his head with a sigh.
It is also because there are too many fortune tellers in the hometown now, so now the entire market situation has been destroyed. In the past, fortune-telling and word testing were all 51,100 percent.
But now......
"Hey...... , fifty also do, one hundred also do. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat, and if you don't do it, it won't be enough for rent. The silver-haired Lei Jun made a hexagram in pathos.
It was a hexagram made of three copper coins and a turtle shell. When the three Yongzheng Tongbao were shaken and dizzy in the turtle shell, and when they couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, Lei Jun took advantage of their inattention, and then threw them out of the turtle shell.
"Oh yes, why are all three of them standing!"
The three thin copper coins in between were actually standing on the table, neither yin nor yang, just standing neutrally.
"I'm afraid there's going to be something big today. Lei Jun pinched his fingers and calculated, only thinking that if he did well in this business today, he was afraid that he would be rich and prosperous for a long time in the future. If you don't do it well, I'm afraid you won't be able to survive by the end of this year.
What is this TM?
Although he wanted to scold, the fortune teller Lei Jun knew that it was a blessing or a curse, and he couldn't avoid it. So he put on his outfit for workโa robe and a riding coatโand then meticulously groomed his silver hair, and finally stood respectfully at the elevator entrance.
There are people in this store on the third floor, and the others are not open. Those who can come to the third floor must be their own customers.
So when Wang Qian and Jiang Aijun just got out of the elevator, they saw Lei Jun and Lei Tianshi in a robe and coat waiting here.
"Your Excellency is here!"
Lei Tianshi very politely invited Jiang Aijun and Wang Qian into his office, or fortune telling.
"Tea or coffee? I still have milk tea juice here. โ
Lei Tianshi's politeness made Wang Qian and his wife a little uncomfortable. In particular, Jiang Aijun was particularly uncomfortable.
Because a few years ago, Jiang Aijun also went to fortune telling with Wang Qian. At that time, it was still in a temple in the countryside. It is said that fortune telling here is particularly accurate. Wang Qian pulled Jiang Aijun to drive more than 100 kilometers to fortune telling.
As a result, fortune-telling cost thousands of yuan, not to mention, and I could only make a small bench when I went. The very old god stick spoke a dialect, and even Jiang Aijun didn't understand it, so you are asking, and people won't say it.
The angry Jiang Aijun almost smashed the temple. So since then, Jiang Aijun has been particularly resistant to fortune-telling.
But who told his mother-in-law to believe this, and it is very important to calculate the auspicious time for her daughter to get married.
After Lei Tianshi very politely served two cups of tea to Jiang Aijun and the others, Wang Qian also said politely: "Master, we are here to count the days. โ
"When divination is auspicious, is it a housewarming, groundbreaking, or a wedding? "Lei Tianshi tried his best to maintain the appearance of an immortal wind bone. Although you can be very polite, you can't collapse when you set up a shelf. Otherwise, there will be no food to eat in the future.
Wang Qian took out the eight characters of her birthday that she had copied on a slip of paper.
"When my daughter gets married, criticize her and the man's eight characters. Then count their auspicious times. When is it better to get married this year. โ
"Do you have the names of the men and women?"
"It's all written on paper. โ
Lei Tianshi turned out the note and looked at the information on it. Well, Jiang Hua, Zhang Tong, followed by birthdays.
After Lei Tianshi got the eight characters of his birthday, he picked up his turtle shell and copper coin, and was about to start fortune telling. But when he began to calculate the birth dates of the two with his own [Qin Tianjian], a change abruptly appeared.
He had just shaken it when he felt that the turtle shell in his hand and the copper coins in the turtle shell were as heavy as Mount Tai. Shake it like the sky is shaking.
And this is not just his personal feeling, Jiang Aijun and Wang Qian both felt that the building shook a little.
Jiang Aijun pulled Wang Qian to stand up: "Is this an earthquake?!"
"No, I just moved. Wang Qian muttered: "But it's a little dangerous, let's go first." Master, there is an earthquake, let's leave first. It's too dangerous in the house. โ
Wang Qian looked at Lei Jun, only to see Lei Jun's face pale, and his hands holding the turtle shell trembled.
"Master!"
"Poof!" Lei Jun spurted out a mouthful of blood, and the turtle shell fell down.
With the fall of the turtle shell, most of southwest China felt a slight earthquake, very light, only more than three and less than four. But it spread far, far away.
Countless people's glassware shattered to the ground, and many unplaced items fell from a height. This time, the cause of the earthquake could not be found, and the epicenter could not be found, which became a puzzle in seismology.
Only Lei Tianshi knew that he counted the people he couldn't count.
