Chapter 80: The Face-to-Face

“cao!”

Pointing at the sky and scolding the earth, Hu Lai was about to drink but remembered that he was obsessed, he didn't go home for two days, and what did he do.

Hu Lai is a native of the imperial capital, after his parents left him a small shop, he didn't care about things every day, thanks to his wife was adopted in the early years because of the Manchurian looting and left behind as a refugee orphan girl, after being subordinated, he simply became Hu Lai's child daughter-in-law, which is almost common in this era, and he is diligent and will run the small grocery store prosperously, so that Hu Lai can drink everywhere every day, and he is not positioned as an idle population by the Presbyterian Church, and he goes to Australia to herd sheep.

When the old city was relocated and a city was emptied within half a year, compared to the Eight Banners who did everything under the butcher's knife in history, although the efficiency of the elders' profit-driven action is not high, but if it really mobilizes people, the efficiency is also quite gratifying.

Hu Lai got a few houses that could be rented to migrant workers, and at the same time, his daughter-in-law also started her old job, compared with the original hutong alleys, the new community has more people and more intensive commuting time, and many workers who have left work have no time to cook and other things, so they have more needs to go to his small shop to buy things.

Such days are naturally more nourishing, and it also makes Hu Lai even more debauched, of course, his income is really difficult to afford such a day, as for such a place in heaven and earth, firstly, he has never been to the circle, and secondly, he really loves the things in the cup more.

The day before yesterday, while he was drinking, he met a "friend", this friend will come to things, can talk, and in a few words, he will be touted by Hu Lai in the sky and on the earth, and he can't wait to go to the palace tomorrow before Mao Sui recommends himself as a cow like him.

The man said to take him to a fun place, but he came to this casino in a circle, he had also come into contact with the gambling stalls in the old city, but this new style of poker is really fun, compared to the pure luck of the game, this rumor is not simple to come out of the palace, not only to rely on luck, but also to test the brain.

Hu looked at it for a while, groped for two, and won the cards in a row, this win, but it is out of control, at least for such a person, this is not only money, but also a kind of vanity.

In this casino, you can take root, and there is enough wine and meat here, pick up the whole roast chicken and bite it when you are hungry, and then put it there directly, and devote yourself wholeheartedly, even if it is night, you need to sleep, there are private rooms upstairs, and even women take the initiative to sleep with you.

Hu Lai doesn't know what's going on, at the beginning of the addiction before the luck of the cards, it seems to be getting worse and worse, after occasionally winning, after that, you will lose directly, and lose more and more.

At the beginning, someone lent him money, in fact, by this time, Hu Lai had already lost sight of the time, did not know the outside affairs, and even the person who brought him here in the first place had disappeared, in fact, he had long forgotten what that person looked like.

That's how the imperial capital is.

But as soon as he came back afterwards, he remembered that he had mortgaged all his property, shop, and house, and everything else, and that man said good things at the time, saying that you are so lucky, big brother, and you are so good at playing cards, isn't it easy to turn over the book.

But now, it's all over.

Hu Lai didn't know how to go home, and walked forward in a daze.

Suddenly, as if he had bumped into someone, Hu Lai still had that scoundrel energy and said, "What are you doing!" Didn't see it and bumped into me, lose money! ”

The man who knocked him down seemed to speak calmly, and said, "Oh, young man, you seem to be in trouble." ”

"It's up to you." Hu Lai is used to being unscrupulous.

"I see that your Yin Tang is dark, and there are signs of breaking your wealth, don't go out these days, stay at home well."

"What!" When Hu Lai heard this, he immediately felt something, and said, "How do you know?" ”

"The old man has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he still has this vision, go home quickly, don't stay away for a long time."

Hu Lai grabbed the middle-aged man and said, "This, please give me some guidance on how to resolve it." ”

The middle-aged man looked anxious and said, "This little brother, why bother like this, spitting out the open-air machine, there is going to be a catastrophe." ”

Hu Lai pleaded softly: "This gentleman, I beg you, I don't see any home." ”

The middle-aged man didn't care at all, and said, "This is not something I can do." ”

Hu Lai suddenly knelt down and said, "If you don't help, I won't get up." ”

"Okay, okay."

The middle-aged man looked helpless and said, "Let me ask you, do you have anything to do." ”

"yes, bad luck, I ......"

"Report your eight characters, I look at your face, it's a rich face, isn't it ......" At the moment, the middle-aged man said that it was almost seventy-seven-eighty-eight.

The middle-aged man said a few things, all of which are the kind of options that must be hit, for example, the person who meets you will say, you are rich and glorious, you have potential, you are righteous enough, or something, this kind of thing, no one will deny it.

Hu Lai nodded continuously and said, "Yes, yes, that's it." ”

The middle-aged man was puzzled: "Your face is rich and noble, and the eight characters are not bad, then the problem should be in Feng Shui, so let's go to your house to have a look." ”

Hu Lai hurriedly led the way, and walked the middle-aged man to his own community.

Only downstairs, the middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't look at it, your family's feng shui is not bad, the green dragon and white tiger here, the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu, is also a place for characters, it's just ......"

"Just what, sir."

The middle-aged man said: "It's just that someone stepped on it and broke the feng shui here, so you broke the money." ”

Hu Lai immediately jumped up and said, "Who, who dares to do this?" ”

The middle-aged man said, "Oh, look over there." ”

Just across the street from the second floor of Hu Lai's small building, it is a small building, but it is very glamorously decorated.

What this small building is for, even Hu Lai knows, it is clearly a place to print newspapers.

Although he is illiterate, Hu Lai often stares at the rich breasts and fat buttocks of the ghost woman above, and complains about his own woman's incompetence when he gets home.

The Sun.

The middle-aged man said: "The reason why you are bankrupt is because of this newspaper." ”

Hu said, "Isn't that the place where the words are printed?" ”

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "What kind of place are you?" The newspaper is full of filth and obscenity, and the image of the demon girl and the demon woman is painted on it, the woman is yin, this is to use a shameless foreign girl, suck up the yang energy of my Chinese man, and then corrupt the government of our country, the more I look at it every day, the more I will go to eighteen layers of hell, and I will never be born! ”

Hu Lai's face turned pale and said, "This is the ...... of the palace elders."

The middle-aged man said: "Hehe, the elder naturally won't do it, it's all the people below who are doing it, now in these years, what is the benefit of being a good person, but being a traitor, the most beneficial, haven't you heard, why don't men take Wu Hook, sell fifty states in China, you don't see, traitors and lackeys traitors, all of them are left in the history books, this year, the most popular is to be a traitor, you can come back to write books and speak, and countless people are sought after." ”

Hu Lai gritted his teeth and said, "But this newspaper ......"

"Think about it, this is the place where the foreign woman absorbs the yang energy of my Chinese man, and it is the most filthy, every day this house is facing your house, what can you do better? I think, if you don't hurry up and find a way, your family will be unlucky for a few years, but it's a pity, your eight characters and face are the only rich and noble faces. ”

Hu Lai immediately said: "Master, master, please give me some advice, is it too late for me to move now?" ”

Naturally, he didn't say anything about his house being mortgaged.

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "It's late, this obscene thing, facing the window of your house every day, has already changed your fortune to the worst, even if you move now, it will be unlucky for at least three years, and the family will be ruined." ”

Hu Lai was frightened all of a sudden, he was not a fool, and if the other party hadn't said something about him continuously, he wouldn't be so convinced.

"Then what should I do, I ......" He wanted to say that he gave money, but immediately thought that all the money was lost now, even if it was his mother-in-law's money, a lot of it was robbed.

The middle-aged man said: "I don't care about this money, but I just see that you are pitiful, and you have suffered an unjustified disaster, so I will give you some ideas, and when you wait until this newspaper office is empty, you will go and light a fire to burn it, and use the fire of Zhurong to remove the most yin things of foreigners, so as to offset these and change your life again." ”

"Burn the fire!"

The middle-aged man looked at it and said, "Yes." ”

Hu Lai was anxious for a while and said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

The middle-aged man smiled mysteriously and said: "Today you and I are destined, and I will not treat you lightly, so let's do it, here is a promissory note with a Shanxi ticket number, you go to get ten taels of republican Tongbao, or buy some things, so that you can set fires, as for other things, then the old man will not be able to leak the secret of heaven again." ”

Hu Lai took the money, looked at the middle-aged man's back, and said, "How should I call you." ”

"The old man travels all over the world, and he doesn't have a name, so call me the crane in the clouds."

"Crane in the clouds, thank you."

Hu Lai took the promissory note, and he didn't seem to believe it, but the appearance of the middle-aged man who was a master of Taoism before was too realistic, so he couldn't help but believe it, that is, he has been smooth sailing, he doesn't have to do anything, just play, so moisturized every day, it's just these days, it suddenly became bad, isn't this because after the New Year, the newspaper is a ghost.

With the mood of trying it out, he used this promissory note to withdraw the money, and he didn't give up hope at first, but he soon got a hundred Republican Tongbao full of paper bags.

Counting the money one by one, Hu Lai was full of enthusiasm and activity.

Naturally, he can't go during the day, he takes the money, but he goes to the market to buy things, it's winter, there are a lot of things that cause fire, kerosene can not only be sold in bulk, if you buy a large number of discounts, of course, as a perennial drunkard, it's really not okay not to drink.

Seeing him come back drunk, his mother-in-law said anxiously: "Boss, someone came to our shop just now, saying that you became a shop, and you want our family to move out quickly, what's going on." ”

"Regardless of him, and when I change my life back, how much money can I turn over the book easily?"

Hu Lai still drinks every day, and his daughter-in-law will naturally add fists and kicks if he says a few more words, of course, he also knows that the house has been signed and returned to the family, with Hu Lai's brain, where do he know that if he does not register the transaction in the department of the presbyterian church, those transactions do not count.

In the evening, Hu Lai saw that the lights of the Sun newspaper office opposite were turned off, but he understood that the person opposite had left work, because the newspapers of this era were not very competitive, so the Sun Newspaper adopted an 8-to-6 editing system, and after handing in the edited yellow minor before getting off work, he could go home, and as for the printing and sales work, naturally someone else would complete it.

Hu Lai took action, people will not be very willing to go out at night in winter, and during the New Year, even places like the Sun Newspaper want to go home early, so people have long gone to the empty building.

Although it has long been locked, after all, many times, this is a thing that blocks the gentleman and does not block the villain, Hu Lai has done everything except good deeds, and it is naturally not difficult to climb over the wall, but after sneaking in, it is in the editorial office, through the window, all the kerosene is poured in, and then it is lit with a match, and thrown on the kerosene.

This ignited a fire, and it has to be said that the quality of the Presbyterian factory has also steadily increased after the skilled workers have risen.

Hu Lai returned home, but he didn't care about the surprised voice of his mother-in-law, opened a pot of wine again, and continued to drink, by the way, this is also the wine sold by the Elders, Erguotou.

We know that the Sun has a lot of paper in it.

Not to mention the various archived newspapers from the first issue in order to archive and preserve, even those reserve materials are amazing, although there were originally arson regulations, but they are all editorial offices composed of residents of the new time and space, in fact, most of the work is to draw lines, find some yellow jokes prescribed by the Council of Elders, and arrange the Donglin Party, the elders come once a week, have a meeting, and arrange the following work.

Therefore, the fire was ignited at once, and the sparks that burned even floated to Hu Lai's house, making the woman panic and want to fetch water to extinguish the fire.

Hu Lai felt very good, he felt that his luck was better, and it was time to find time to turn over the book, well, this time, he would definitely be able to earn it back with interest, and when the time came, I heard that there were those who sold that kind of villa in the north of the city, and there were many stunning beauties living there......

Hu Lai drank his full wine beautifully, and didn't care about the situation of the chickens and dogs jumping on the other side of the rescue, after all, for a newly established city, it is no longer a building dominated by wooden structures, and the chance of catching fire is not great, and even if it burns, there will be no problem.

This sleep came to dawn, no matter that Hu Lai was still sleeping to death, his mother-in-law was diligent and got up early to work.

"Is Sister-in-law Hu at home, it's time to check the water meter."
