Chapter 49: Fortune Telling I
It's been three days since I returned to Delong. Chen Tao never saw Liu Xu'er, and heard that she had asked for leave, but he didn't know where she went.
That day, he kissed her in the head, and Liu Xu'er blushed and ran away, without mentioning it afterwards, as if nothing had happened.
Chen Tao was panicked in his heart, and wanted to ask her if she didn't know how to speak, it was right to like her, and she was very happy with her, but she always felt a little estranged. In terms of conditions, people are Bai Fumei, but what about themselves? He is just an ordinary student from an average family, and his vision, experience, and living environment are not on the same level.
However, the material conditions for falling in love only account for one aspect, as well as personality, three views, fate, and other inexplicable things, since he can't figure it out, he doesn't bother to think about it, and now there is a thing that is a hundred times more important than falling in love waiting for him - making money!
As the saying goes, money is a hero's courage!
If you have money, you will have confidence, and if you have money, you can speak!
Even if you play games and have money, you are a master!
Compared with the ethereal feelings, the feeling of having money in your hands is much more down-to-earth. That's a real sense of satisfaction, take a step back, it's just that Liu Xu'er doesn't like him, he has money, and he is worried about not finding a good girl?
On the other hand, if Liu Xu'er likes him very much and wants to fall in love with him. But he himself is not angry, is he worthy of the likes of others?
Chen Tao is a layman, don't mention anything to him about "being full of love and drinking water", in the final analysis, romance is also the romance of money, just drink water, you will definitely be hungry!
So everything else is virtual, let's make money first!
......
......
Sunday.
The sky was crisp, and there were a few white clouds floating in the pale blue sky.
The folk street in Wu'an District, Delong City is crowded with people and is very lively. The buildings on both sides of the street are imitating the Ming and Qing dynasties, with blue bricks and gray tiles and wooden plaques, there are fortune tellers, gourd sellers, literary players, goldfish sellers, and grasshopper crickets, not only there are many shops, there are also carts on the roadside to sell sugar gourds, there are stalls to tell fortunes, there are people who hold bamboo sticks to draw lots, there are also people who measure characters, name names, look at physiognomy, look at feng shui, and so on.
Diagonally opposite the fortune-telling road, there are several gray and white high-rise buildings, which are the Delong Affiliated Hospital, and often have depressed patients' families come to the fortune-telling road to seek spiritual comfort and find the last hope.
Chen Tao occupies a very partial vacancy under the wall next to the big willow tree outside the fortune-telling intersection, and strictly speaking, this land is not within the scope of the fortune-telling road. People's regular stalls have owners, and it is impossible for him to occupy them in vain.
Although the location is a little off, there are still four or five fortune-telling old men lined up along the root of the wall, some are sitting on Maza, some are leaning on the chaise longue, Chen Tao did not prepare in advance, grabbed two bricks and sat down, took out a square gray cloth from the canvas bag, spread it on the ground, and painted a gossip with a somewhat asymmetrical shape on the cloth, and wrote the four black characters of "Mai Shenxiang" with not very good-looking handwriting next to it.
This gray cloth was bought by him, and the gossip pattern on it was drawn by him according to Baidu.
Then he took out ten bracelets and placed them on the cloth. The bracelet was approved by him from a certain treasure, a string of five cents, the material is resin, the style has imitation gold silk nanmu, agarwood, and there are carved with the word "Cai", these are the materials he used to make amulets.
"A talisman of thousands of dollars is not as good as this five-cent string...... It's up to you to see who does it!" Chen Tao thought with a slight sense of pride.
This is all the belongings he has set up in the stall, all ready to be neat, he took out the power bank, connected to the mobile phone, and started the game.
Seven days have passed, and he still hasn't opened.
The old man on the fortune-telling road rarely said that there were forty or fifty people, all of whom were fifty years old and upward, but how could a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy come out to tell fortunes? People were not convinced! In addition to his simple props, people felt unreliable at first glance, as if they had come to seek trouble!
In fact, Chen Tao did this after some careful consideration, he didn't want to get into trouble because the fortune telling was too accurate and told who's privacy, once he was noticed by some powerful forces, he would spend the rest of his life in the dark research institute. At the beginning, he used that trick to deceive Kong Ergou, but the situation was too urgent, but now he uses the majesty of fifteen thousand and the life span of more than two hundred days, and he can take his time.
Anyway, he didn't lose anything, but he just changed places to play games, and I believe that with the help of good luck, someone will definitely take the initiative to come to the door.
It was Wednesday morning, because it was work time, there were not many people who came to the fortune telling road, and a few fortune tellers gathered on the stone table under the willow tree to play landlord fight, and a group of people watched.
At the entrance to the fortune-telling road, two girls are looking this way. Slightly shorter, wearing a simple gray-white long skirt and shoulder-length short hair, about twenty-one or twelve years old, she has a pair of bright and good-looking eyes, and the whole person exudes a strong literary atmosphere. Her brow furrowed, and her expression revealed deep exhaustion.
Another girl dressed as a white-collar beauty said, "Nan Nan, Master Jiang is also on the fortune telling road, our boss is looking for him to tell, I'll take you over?" ”
The short-haired girl shook her head, her eyes turned around in front of the various fortune-telling stalls, and fell on Chen Tao's body, "Sister, you are waiting for me here." I can go there alone. ”
"You ......" Sun Chen wanted to keep up, but he thought that the conversation for a while would involve privacy, so he had to stop.
She sighed in her heart, "This child is too stubborn! I didn't listen to anyone, and I reminded her when she lived with that man...... There are more scammers on the fortune telling road, how can there be a physiognomist who will set up a stall on the side of the road?
Wait, that fortune teller is a ...... Student?
Looks like you're graduating from high school, right?
Can this also be used for fortune telling?
Wang Nan walked to Chen Tao's stall, saw all kinds of inferior bracelets, saw the crooked gossip patterns, couldn't help frowning, she turned her head, and looked at the fortune tellers who were fighting the landlords, sighed in her heart, and said directly, "Do you know how to tell fortunes? I want to find someone." ”
She originally wanted to call the police, but her cousin Sun Chen told her that the police didn't care about it, and some fortune tellers might be able to figure it out.
Chen Tao, who was playing with his mobile phone, raised his head, "Hey, this girl looks very delicate." She actually asked me if I could tell fortunes? This is questioning my strength!"
"Who are you looking for?" ”
On the opposite side of the stall, there was an army-green folding stool, which he had left for the guests, and he thought it was too heavy to take two stools, so he only brought one, and he was still sitting on bricks, but this time he put a book on it.
"I was far away just now, I didn't see what he looked like, he just graduated from high school, right? Wang Nan didn't sit down, and asked again, "Can you find someone?"
Chen Tao was stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds, he said in a god-like tone, "Beauty, judging from your face, you are destined to be trapped by love this year! You seem to be in love with someone you shouldn't love." ”
