Chapter Twenty-Six: The First Journey into the Rivers and Lakes with the Master
Haizi observed left and right along the way, and was sure that no one was paying attention, so he quickly walked into the Deyang Hotel alone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The second child of the info store hurriedly came out and said: "I don't accept customers these days, it's closed, let's go elsewhere." Suddenly raised his head, saw that this person was very familiar, looked carefully, and seemed to remember a little: "You are not ......" Hai Zi waved his hand and motioned for him to go to the side to speak.
"Isn't that woman your daughter-in-law? How did you become the lady of Dulong Mountain? She told me to let you go to the Jiangbei Fish Shelter in front of Harbin to find her. I didn't dare to tell anyone else, I didn't know anything, you can't say anything, or I'd die. Our shopkeeper was arrested by Dulongshan, saying that he was an internal response and opened a black shop. Don't tell you what I'm telling you. The shopkeeper sent Haizi away tremblingly in World War II.
Before leaving, Haizi threw down a sentence: "That's it, say go out and kill your whole family!" I can't talk to your own father. ”
Haizi went back to tell the master, saying that he didn't hear anything. I only know that the big boss has been looking for two days in this town, and he also arrested the shopkeeper of the Deyang Hotel into the mountain, saying that he is a spy, and the Deyang Hotel will not open the door to pick up guests.
The master stroked his beard, and said for a long time: "Let's go, go to Liu's nest shop, and inquire at any time where the big boss has gone." ”
Liujiawopu is not far from Harbin, and the master led Haizi to inquire about the letter while walking. On this day, he came to another nest, and the master asked him about the whereabouts of the big boss.
"A few days ago, the big boss sent someone to ask me if I knew the whereabouts of my wife and children. I don't know, wow, I've inquired about this radius for dozens of miles, and there is no news at all. The big boss also hit one head in the east and one head in the west, and there is no letter, it seems that there is more luck and less luck. ”
"Presumptuous, cut out your tongue with more nonsense. Tell the big boss, don't look for it everywhere, this will attract the attention of the government, it's not good for a long time, now the wind is getting tighter and tighter, so many people are easy to hit the wall, let the big boss go back to the mountain for the time being and wait for the letter. I'll paint it for him, and you immediately go and hand it over to the big boss, so that he can see it for himself. Come back quickly and wait at home, always at your orders, and never go on a business trip. After the master finished explaining, he and Haizi continued to hurry.
The two inquired while walking, and came to Liu's nest shop on this day. This is a large village close to Harbin, there are more than 200 households in the whole village, and many merchants and hawkers who go to Harbin pass through here, so there are also big car shops in Tunzi for pedestrians, cars and horses to rest. The master led Haizi into the big car shop, and the shopkeeper came out to greet him and invited the two into the room. It's a small place to stay, and it seems that there aren't many guests who come here on weekdays, because there aren't even a few guests before noon. The master said that he hadn't eaten since he got up early, and he was hungry, so he asked the store to give him some food, and the shopkeeper told the guy to arrange it.
The master took off his shoes and went to the kang, screwed a bag of cigarettes to the shopkeeper, and took the opportunity to talk: "Your feng shui is good, if it weren't for the fact that the west side is higher than the east side, you can produce a big man who protects the country and the people and governs the world, but now it can't work, you can only produce strong people and wicked people." If you move the whole tunzi a mile and a half to the west, then the feng shui will be reversed. ”
"There is no place further west, it is occupied by the old Zhang family, who dares to build a house over there. Besides, there are so many households in Quantunzi, so I can't afford to move it, so I can only do this. The shopkeeper said.
"Are the old Zhang family the three tigers of the Zhang family, the eldest Volcanic Tiger, the second Zhenshan Tiger, and the Old Three Days Spirit Tiger, which are famous in this area." The master asked.
"It's his house. But the reputation of the three tigers of the Zhang family is stinky, and they have never harmed the people in Tunzi, and their reputation in Tunzi is still very good. In the past few years, the government has been tightened, and his three brothers have already wandered away from home, and they don't know where to stay, and they haven't seen them come back for many years. There are two people who used to mess with their brothers, and sometimes they come back a few times, but they don't dare to come back often, for fear of falling off their feet, it's not easy to do anything, and the bowl of rice is not delicious. "There are a lot of words from the shopkeeper, and he will answer all questions.
"These days, it's really not good to eat any bowl of rice. But this piece is very close to Harbin, and the big locks don't dare to come, but it provides them with opportunities to smash orphans, and they live a very nourishing life. But it's okay to make a small fight, if you really dare to do a big one, it's not looking for death. Master said.
"Didn't I hear that they recently kidnapped the wife and children of Dulong Mountain, they are all so nonsense, I don't believe it, how dare they do it. Yesterday, I seemed to hear that Liu Laosan and his son had gone home, if they did it, they would dare to come back, they would have run away and disappeared. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he handed the cigarette pouch back to the master and went out to do something else.
Master and Haizi had a hasty meal, and after settling the account, they were ready to leave. At this time, the shopkeeper came out and said to the master, "Sir, why did you leave so quickly?" Come back and live in the dark. ”
"If you want to eat, you have to be diligent in your legs. If it's late, just come back and stay without fear of disturbing. The master led Haizi out and said goodbye to the shopkeeper's fist.
Out of the big car shop, the two of them walked towards the village while playing the board. When he met pedestrians from time to time on the road, Haizi asked, "Do you tell a fortune?" Guaranteed to work, not allowed without money! ”
"Mr. fortune teller, come and tell us a fortune." A woman walked out the door and shouted. This man was about forty years old, and his face was still covered with powder, which was rare in the tunzi.
The master didn't want to tell her fortunes, he had his own plans, but he couldn't stand this woman's stiff pull, and besides, they were nominally fortune-tellers, so how could they meet the reason why the patron didn't go. Although the master had a place he wanted to go, he could only give up for the time being and follow this woman into her house.
When I came to the yard, I saw a man in his fifties cleaning the yard, and the small yard was also neat and clean, with a unique flavor. The hostess let them into the house. It was an ordinary farmhouse with three large rooms, with two doors in the west, one south and one north, apparently with two separate rooms. There is only the south kang in the east house, and the rest of the open space is also spacious. The hostess politely let the two of them sit down by the kang, and brought two bowls of water for the two to drink, and then asked unhurriedly: "Sir, how much is a hexagram?" I want to ask for marriage. ”
"The photo-marriage is ten, and the calculation belt is doubled." The master stared at the hostess's face and said.
"My girl is twenty years old this year, and she was born at noon on the eighth day of the first month of March, do you think she can get married this year?"
"Twenty is a cow, and the eighth birthday of the first month of March is good. The ox was born in March, when the Qingming Festival, a new atmosphere, happy, free, not subject to the control of others, smart and noble, not self-reliant, everywhere can live uncertainly. Although there are dangerous shores and turmoil, you can get the other side. The cow was born in the middle of the day, fortunately there is the moon and the virtue of the light, the death is stealing, when the desire to flower the street willow lane, difficult to extricate itself, need the guidance of nobles, just to explore the flowers early. ”
The master sang for a long time, and finally said: "Judging from the hexagram, you can also get married." It's just that your daughter is guilty of peach blossoms, and there is another hurdle this year, I'm afraid that the man doesn't agree to this marriage, right? ”
"Sir's right. The girl doesn't have a mother-in-law's family, and she falls in love with a family, but they are lukewarm, and they don't fight together, and the girls are so old, so sad. The hostess smiled all over her face, leaned over to the master and said, "Sir, let's see if there is any way to break it?" If I could, I would give you more money. ”
"I don't know what the man's family name is, where does he live? I'll give you a good look. ”
"The surname is Liu, and he is from this village."
"It's from Bentun, surnamed Liu?" The master's eyes rolled, and he seemed to be in spirit, so he casually asked, "How many families do you have surnamed Liu in this tunzi?" How old is the man? ”
"There are several families surnamed Liu in this tunzi. My girl's picture is the cousin of the old Zhang family in the west of the village, surnamed Liu, the man is thirty years old, he was born on June 18, does the gentleman see the marriage? ”
The master straightened up at the moment, really came to the spirit, his eyes turned faster, he picked up the bowl and drank a sip of water, and then pinched his fingers for a long time, pretending to be mysterious and said: "I think this marriage is okay, the man's family has a bloody disaster this year, and the time is within these ten days." That man should commit robbery and murder in his life, and he often does evil things, so he should get retribution, and it is better not to get involved, so that you will not be affected, and judging from the hexagram, you may really be implicated. ”
"Sir, what a miracle! The Liu family is also a serious family, and they don't invite disasters or cause trouble. But this son has been messing with his three cousins since he was seventeen or eighteen years old, causing trouble everywhere, and later he and his cousin started a business of smashing orphans and doing evil. I don't want to fulfill this marriage, but this kid bullied our mother and daughter. My husband died at the age of thirty-two, leaving us mother and daughter, you say how can you live, no way, I had to find an old errand runner, the old man who worked in the yard, but he was honest and poor, and he couldn't support our mother and daughter. I'm not afraid of your jokes, big brother, this old thing not only can't make money, but it can't do that, I'm only in my thirties, can I hold back, so I started a half-hidden door, so I can subsidize the family. Later, I adopted a godgirl, and I worked with her, this girl is very good, she will serve people, and if you don't believe it, she will call it out for the eldest brother to see, but no. When you go out, your heart is empty. Alas, look where I said. It's the kid of the Liu family, called Zhuzhu, who also comes often, young people, no daughter-in-law, but there are forgivable circumstances, but he has bad intentions, and he just harmed my own girl, and my girl was only fifteen years old that year, so he let him bud. After that, I came back to find my girl every three or five times, no, the previous one came back again, stayed here at night, and went home during the day. My girl was broken by him since she beat herself, and she was alone with him, and she didn't take over outsiders. I think the girl is so old, hurry up and find her a home, but who wants to wow, I want her to tie the pillar and have a support for the rest of her life. But no matter what I say, this kid and his family are unwilling to do it, saying that he has a bad reputation, but he really me off. Listening to what Mr. and Big Brother said, I really can't marry the girl to him, my life is gone, I might as well do this, I can still live if I am round. Under the temptation and scare of the master, this woman told the truth.
"Big sister, I think you are also an honest person, and you are forced to be helpless to do this, there is nothing unpleasant. The pig arches forward, the chicken kicks back, each has its own way of living, this year, rich is the uncle. However, the girl is still young, and she has to find a home, and it is not a long-term thing to go on like this. Flies pick out the egg bites with seams, and after a long time, they are not allowed to have an accident, so it is better to find someone's home. I don't know what the master means, and persuaded her to find her in-law for the girl.
"What the gentleman said is reasonable, but now in this situation, go find wow, let it be fate. I don't want her to marry the Liu family anymore, if nothing happens now, sooner or later she will have to be shot. If the eldest brother can have a suitable one, I would like to hear it, maybe my girl can really hand in the peach blossom luck. After the woman finished speaking, she looked up at Haizi, which made Haizi feel a little embarrassed.
"I don't have anything too suitable. But I can do the math for her, and it's better to see which party is proposing. You might as well let the girl come out to meet, and I'll give you a face-to-face, so I can give you some guidance. As the master spoke, his eyes stared at this powdered woman, and he already had a plan in his heart.
"Mr. Dare will meet again, well, I'll call my daughter out. But I have to ask my eldest brother, do you still add money to meet each other? I don't count too much. The powdered woman said as she shouted to the Westinghouse, "Girl, a guest is coming." It's a fortune teller, come out to give you a face. ”
"Of course, you have to add money, but you can't take a penny." Master said.
With a slight sound in the West House, the door opened, and two women dressed up in some posture walked into the East Room and sat on the stools on the floor of the house, facing the master and the others. One of the two girls was a little older, and she didn't look to be more than thirty years old, and her face was expressionless, and her character could only be guessed from the flattering eyes of the people. There is no need to ask, the young, twenty-year-old girl with a pair of charming big eyes is the own girl of the powdered woman, who looks and exposed, her summer clothes are tight, and her eyes are rolling around the body of the master and Haizi.
"Hey, they're all here, so let's sit down. Flower, come here, let this gentleman meet each other, see if it is suitable for marriage, what kind of one can you find? The powdered woman beckoned to the younger girl.
"The old gentleman wants to see which piece. What do you think I'm going to have to find, can I? The young girl said as she leaned over and sat down beside her master.
The master didn't say anything, carefully looked at the girl's face, and said for a while, "Stretch out your right hand and let me see it." ”
The girl stretched out her white, soft hand and placed it on the master's hand. At first glance, it looks like a hand that doesn't work often, and it's very well maintained. The master still looked at it carefully for a long time, and then he raised his head and cleared his throat, and everyone looked at him with blank eyes, wanting to hear what he said.
"Your girl's life is still very good, you don't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life, and you have a son and two daughters in your life, which is a rich life. But this marriage is going to be difficult, and she is destined to find someone older than her, and the two families can't be too far apart. It's a pity that the life of Peach Blossom and White Tiger had to go away in order to keep them safe, otherwise their lives would not be guaranteed. Fate has to meet the help of nobles, in order to turn evil into good, remember! The master had a serious face and a mysterious face.
"Doesn't that mean I can marry Brother Zhuzhu? What is the cost of conversion? Mom, you ask someone to talk and make peace, while he is at home, find his parents and tell him, I told him that he always pushes me. If you don't ask this old gentleman to make peace, maybe it will be done. The girl said.
"Don't talk nonsense, that ungrateful little rabbit, let's not follow him. Mr. just said that his family will have a bloody disaster in less than ten days, and he will be beheaded all over the house, and we can't hide from it. "The girl's mother doesn't let the girl talk more, listen to the gentleman.
"It's also fitting for the girl to be with him, and I've taken both of your lives. It's just that this hurdle in front of me is not good, so don't marry him. But the girl is destined to have a bad fate with him, and it's not easy to hide. Master frowned and said.
"What can I do? Please also ask Mr. to bother a lot, help to break, the eldest sister kowtow to you, if our girls are safe, you let the eldest sister thank you. "The girl's mother was really a little scared, and she begged the master sincerely.
"This is providence, and it is difficult for manpower to do it. If you want to avoid this catastrophe, you can't do it alone, you have to work together with the Liu family to have a perfect plan. Sir, although I am not talented, but I can also point one or two, if it weren't for the girl's life, if she could meet me, it would really be a disaster. It's just that the Liu family doesn't know that a catastrophe is coming, but they know it, and it's impossible to say whether they can believe it or whether they are willing to do it. I think that's the end of this matter, let it be fate. Just strengthen your mother's defense, and I can't do anything about it. It's not too early, I have to go, it's a lot of worry, and I don't want any money. Let's go, apprentice. The master got up and left the kang, pulled Haizi and was about to go out.
