With the World Cup approaching.

The merchants have already scrambled to create an atmosphere, for fear that they will fall behind and not be able to catch up with the rhythm.

A Mercedes sedan slowly stopped next to the supper stall.

It was an E-class sports car, and it couldn't be taken without five or six hundred thousand.

After the car is parked.

The driver's seat opened the door, and a man in his thirties slowly walked out, this person was Xue Kaiyu.

"Brother Yu. ”

"This way!"

The two buddies in the crowd of night food stalls stood up and waved with a smile.

Xue Kaiyu walked over with a smile and squinted his eyes, pulled out the plastic red chair and sat down, he said, "It's early, you guys." ”

"Do you want to add two skewers!" said buddy Liu Jiping with a puff of cigarette and a smile.

Xue Kaiyu waved his hand and smiled: "No, I'm not hungry yet." ”

The other is a fat man with glasses, and his stocky figure makes people worry about whether he will break the chair.

All three of them are elementary school classmates and have a very good relationship.

I have been friends for more than 20 years, and I often like to get together to eat supper and brag about something.

The fat man picked his teeth with a toothpick, and then said, "Come to my house tomorrow to watch the game, and buy two cases of beer." ”

Xue Kaiyu is also particularly interested, he has already checked the strength of the two teams, and the gap is huge!

"Russia vs. Saudi Arabia!"

"Damn, handicap Russia concedes 3.5 goals!"

Liu Jiping ate fried snails, licked his lips and said with a smile: "I'm going to press two thousand big balls to play!"

"Not necessarily!" the fat man laughed: "The difference in strength is known to fools!"

"It depends on what the coach thinks, if you stick to a wave directly at the beginning, maybe there won't be a few balls in the whole game!"

"Anyway, Russia will definitely win, if there is a lot of pressure on the periphery, match-fixing is not impossible, and a narrow victory is enough. ”

The three big men are also familiar with each other, so it is naturally impossible to talk about the old days.

Basically, they are paying attention to the hot topics of the moment.

Xue Kaiyu said leisurely: "Just do it, I'm going to find that fortune teller tomorrow to calculate a hexagram for me and see how my luck has been recently." ”

As soon as these words came out, the other two were also energetic.

"From Changling West Street?" the fat man asked with some curiosity.

"It must be!" Xue Kaiyu said very proudly: "I heard that this fortune teller is a bit expected, I still bought this ticket from a scalper, and I heard that it will take more than two or three months to queue up." ”

Liu Jiping scolded with a smile: "Grass, fake, he still has to queue for a few months to tell his mother's fortune?"

"Hey, don't believe it!" the fat man swore and smiled: "It's true, last time I went to East Street to repair a car, I heard that there was an airplane repair shop next door." ”

"You say it's a cow or not, just because the fortune teller calculated a hexagram, everyone stopped repairing the plane and went to repair the car!"

Everyone was immediately amused, and it was indeed a little interesting!

Xue Kaiyu waved his hand and smiled a little perfunctorily: "This thing can be referred to, and it will be over seriously." ”

"If this fortune teller was really so awesome, he would have made a fortune a long time ago, and he would still need to come out to tell fortunes for people to earn that little money. ”

Liu Jiping shook his head and smiled: "That's right, how can you show your face if you really have a level, rich people come to the door in person, it doesn't matter if you can't see it!"

"This kind of street is free, that is, a few words of foolishness. ”

"Anyway, it's the same as guessing odd and even, it's either odd or even, and there is always half a probability of being blinded by him. ”

After a few words, everyone agreed to watch the game together in the evening.

……

At noon the next day.

Xue Kaiyu had dinner at home, so he took two puffs of cigarette and picked up the car keys and went out.

He just looked at the handicap odds of the first game, and then looked at the starting lists of the two national teams, and if nothing else, it was at least 2:1 or 3:1.

Of course, if you can guess this thing accurately, it won't be a Mercedes-Benz E.

He stepped on the accelerator and came to Changling West Street, and unexpectedly found that this side was really hot.

People come and go, and there is a big difference from what I remembered.

No wonder I heard recently that there are rumors of land requisition here, maybe it's really not groundless.

Xue Kaiyu parked the car in the open-air parking space outside, then got out of the car and smoked a cigarette and walked inside.

However, the moment I really saw that old fortune teller.

His pupils were slightly stunned, and his whole body stiffened in place.

This simply refreshed his three views, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it at all.

There are really so many people waiting here, and the business of the nearby bubble tea shop is extremely hot, and the people in line seem to be waiting for the number.

"Damn!"

Xue Kaiyu exclaimed, then took out his mobile phone and dialed the scalper's number, and the other party announced in WeChat that he would contact him for tickets when he arrived at the location.

Originally, he still thought that he would just send a location to WeChat.

Now it seems that I really have to make a phone call, because this positioning is useless, and there is no one to be found in the crowd.

"Hey!"

At this moment, a familiar voice came from the phone: "Hey, boss!"

"When I arrived at the gate of Wentian Pavilion, there is a Yihetang milk tea shop next to it, where are you?"

The fat scalper said leisurely: "Boss, wait a while, I'll go over, I've just finished eating, five minutes!"

"Okay!"

"I'm here at the bubble tea shop, and I'm ringing when it's time to ring my phone!"

With a beep, the two hung up.

In the crowded streets, this is just a small episode, and no one can even guess it.

What a terrible development this fortune-telling shop has brought to the surrounding economy.

Xue Kaiyu squinted his eyes and smoked a cigarette, and heard the discussion of passers-by in his ears.

"There are so many people today!"

"yes, it didn't seem like there were that many last week. ”

"The main thing is that a lot of people come to join in the fun, wanting to see if there are any lucky ones who have been selected by the master. ”

"Isn't there just one who was selected, a group of people watched, if you are lucky, follow him to buy balls!"

"Yes!"

Xue Kaiyu's brows furrowed slightly, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the guy, and then asked, "Hello, what are you talking about the lucky one?"

"The person who was chosen by the master!" the young man also explained enthusiastically: "Today, Thursday, according to the regulations, you can only come here to buy a thousand paper cranes." ”

"The master will pick a few lucky people to give hexagrams, it may be shit luck, or it may be unlucky!"

"Anyway, if you don't get picked, it's a bit of a loss, and you can only buy a safe thousand paper cranes after waiting in line all morning!"

Xue Kaiyu's mouth opened slightly, and he was stunned and said, "Don't you tell the hexagram?"

"Here, you can buy a thousand paper cranes means that the master has calculated it for you, there is no bad luck, peace and security!"

Xue Kaiyu suddenly hesitated in his heart, that would be nonsense.

To make a fruitless trip?

I glanced up at the store and sighed again, if you don't come, you're coming!

Let's see what the hell is going on!

……

About half an hour later.

Xue Kaiyu was about to spend twenty yuan to buy the legendary Ping'an Thousand Paper Cranes.

Suddenly, however, I heard a voice coming from inside the house.

"Wait, Mr. Xue is troublesome to come in, you can't buy a thousand paper cranes!"

Hearing this, all of a sudden, everyone in line showed a look of surprise, but their eyes were focused on this man.

Liu Ziming, the assistant at the door, explained with a smile: "Congratulations, you can go in and find the master to calculate a hexagram and avoid evil!"

Many people showed envious looks.

Of course, some people think it's not a good thing, but if it's a good thing, they should let the other party buy a safe paper crane and then be called in!

Since you are not allowed to buy it, it seems to be terrible!

Xue Kaiyu was still in a state of confusion, he was already dead, because when he was queuing, he could see that basically no one could go in to tell the hexagram.

However, I didn't expect that it was my turn to be named.

When Xue Kaiyu stepped into this mysterious fortune-telling shop, there seemed to be an inexplicable illusion, and there seemed to be a cool breeze blowing out.

He swallowed a mouthful of water, and found a young man inside looking at him with a serious expression.

"Who are you?"

Li Mowen waved lightly and smiled: "Sit down, Mr. Xue, do you know why you were selected?"

Xue Kaiyu didn't realize that the other party could actually call out his surname.

Instead, he was a little surprised: "It is said that you will either be lucky or unlucky to be chosen." ”

Although the young fortune teller in front of him is famous, and the atmosphere in the room is relatively heavy and serious.

So Xue Kaiyu was still a little restrained.

Li Mowen deliberately pinched his fingers and looked at the data revealed in his glasses.

[Name: Xue Kaiyu]

[Luck Value: 2 (Caught in the Gambler's Vortex)]

[Physical Health Index: 81]

He didn't bother to look at the other data, obviously today is also a special luck show, and the guests in front of him should be caught in the gamble.

Li Mowen reminded very seriously and cautiously: "Nine out of ten bets are lost, and one person is bankrupt." ”

"I see a chill between your eyebrows, bad luck is shrouded, it's better not to be delusional about making a windfall in the near future. ”

Xue Kaiyu's mouth opened slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he seemed to be unable to speak.

He was indeed going to come over and calculate whether he had any fortune.

Now the master means that he is not very lucky.

Xue Kaiyu smiled and thanked: "Okay, since the master said so, I will be careful." ”

However, Li Mowen showed dissatisfaction, because he found that the other party's luck value did not seem to change, that is, he didn't listen to it at all.

And it can be seen that the person in front of him seems to have a lot of trust in himself.

It's exactly the kind of people who come and hang out.

Li Mowen couldn't help but add: "Believe me, if you can, you won't touch it, otherwise you will regret it." ”

Finally this sentence fell, and he saw that the other party's luck value had finally changed.

[Luck Value: 2 (Caught in the Gambler's Vortex)] → [Luck Value: 4]

It seems like just bad luck, but it's not too much of a problem.

Li Mo took a sip of tea with satisfaction.

What no one expected.

The hardest thing in the world to persuade is for gamblers to turn back!

When Xue Kaiyu left the store and walked in the direction of his car, he posted a sentence in WeChat.

"The master said that I have a bad year, if I gamble, I will definitely regret it, nine out of ten bets will be lost, and there is a bankrupt family, how can this be done!"

My friend Liu Jiping jokingly replied: "Brother, you have to tell me what you buy in the future, I seem to have found a way to make money." ”

Xue Kaiyu also froze for a moment, and then showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then patted his thigh and smiled: "Lying grass!"

"That's right, Lao Tzu can buy it the other way around!"

He smiled excitedly and said, "You're really a fucking talent!"
