Chapter 38: Spring Festival

Looking at the old man and shaking his head, "Find me if you have something to say!" After the old man looked at me, he took out a few copper coins from his pocket and played with them, and when I saw these copper coins, my heart was stunned for a moment. I am very familiar with these copper coins, which are the ones that the old man used when he told my fortune.

At this time, the old man also brought up the peanuts and wine he wanted, and the old man put a peanut in his mouth, then took a small sip of liquor, and then looked at me and said: "In two years, you should have experienced something that many people have never experienced in their lives, how about it?" How did these experiences feel to you? ”

After thinking about it for a while, I picked up a cup from the table, and then I poured a little white wine into my own glass, then took a sip of wine, looked at the old man and said, "What do you feel?" I can only tell you that in addition to the pain, there is also all kinds of helplessness. The old man looked at me and shook his head: "This is your destiny, no way, this is something you can't get rid of." ”

I laughed self-deprecatingly, looked up and drank the wine in my glass: "Fate? Why was I destined to have these things? Why was my destiny predestined from the start? The old man didn't answer my words, just stuffed two more peanuts into his mouth, looked at me and said lightly: "About fate, you will slowly understand it yourself in the future, and I came to you today to tell you something." ”

I looked at the old man calmly and asked softly, "What can you say?" The old man fiddled with the copper coins in his hand, leaned on the back of the chair, fiddled with the wine glass and said slowly: "The day before yesterday, I had nothing to do, and I calculated a hexagram for you, and the hexagram told me that your life will face a choice, and how to do this choice depends on yourself."

And I'm also a little bit looking forward to what kind of choice you will make, so I want to take a look at you first, what kind of choice will a person who is destined to have five disadvantages and three shortcomings make after going through so many things? After saying this, although I didn't understand it a little, I still chose to believe this old man's words, because his words have basically been fulfilled one by one so far.

I looked at the old man and laughed out loud for some reason, completely losing the panic I had the first time. I looked at the old man with a smile: "What choice do you think I will make?" The old man shook his head: "I don't know, I can't guess your current mood and mentality." So I'm also a little curious about what exactly you're going to do now. ”

I slowly stood up, looked at the old man and said firmly: "Thank you for telling me this, but my own life still has to go by myself, and my choice will be made by myself, so I don't bother you to bother with this, I still have to go beforehand." With that, he walked briskly out of the hotel.

The old man watched me leave the back, drank the wine in the cup, and said with a smile: "As soon as you enter the underworld, your life will become a cage, and from now on, the cycle of life and death will be in the palm of your hand, Li Hao, what will you choose?" ”

After leaving the hotel, a burst of anger rose in my heart for no reason! This old man is obviously watching the fun! He looked at me with a sense of superiority, curious that my choice had come to meet me! Hehe, my Li Hao's fate is in my own hands, don't bother you! If you want to see the excitement, please go somewhere else.

I'm afraid that if I sit for a while, I'll pick up a piece from the ground and turn my head to hit him! Damn it! This old man's face is so annoying! After leaving the hotel, I didn't have the heart to hang out, so I took a taxi back to my bar.

Half a month later, the Spring Festival of the lunar calendar has arrived! I was sitting alone in the bar, watching TV and drinking beer, and there was a roast chicken in front of the table, and I was just eating and drinking by myself, and I didn't know what to do. Yu Dan called me early, saying that she was going home for the New Year, and asked me if I wanted to go back to Shandong together.

So he politely rejected her. Yu Dan didn't say anything, just said Happy New Year to me and hung up the phone. This is the second Spring Festival I have spent by myself, the first Spring Festival after Cen Si's death, I was on the way to find the ghost baby, and now the ghost baby has been nearly wiped out.

I couldn't find the goal of life at this time, and in this festival of reunion, I didn't know where to go, only one person sat lonely in the store. A light rain fell outside the window, and the drizzle fell on the glass of the bar little by little. There is no snow in the winter in the south, which makes me very uncomfortable as a person who has lived in the north for more than 20 years, plus I am sitting alone in a bar at this time. This feeling of loneliness is getting heavier and heavier!

At about eight o'clock in the evening, I was sitting alone in the store, eating roast chicken, drinking stuffy wine, and the TV was playing the Spring Festival Gala that had not changed for thousands of years, and I couldn't laugh when I watched the program in the party. Suddenly, there was a sharp slamming sound outside the door.

I impatiently shouted outside, "Let's leave if it's not open today!" After the person outside the door heard this, the knock on the door was a little more urgent. I frustrated myself to my feet, walked to the door, and pulled the door open. A stout young man stood in front of me, smiling at me, carrying something in his hand.

"Uncle Shi, why don't you want to open the door for me!" The tengu stood at my doorway and looked at me with a smile, and when I saw the tengu, I was stunned and then looked behind the tengu. A black Mercedes-Benz was parked on the side of the road, and Zhang Mu stood in front of the Mercedes-Benz and kept taking things out of the trunk.

After seeing me look at him, Zhang Mu said with a smile: "Hurry up and help!" I've brought you a lot to eat! My eyes were a little wet, so I quickly ran down in two steps, and hammered Zhang Mu's chest on the top of the chest: "Didn't you fucking say you went to your parents?" ”

Zhang Mu smiled: "Hehe, I arranged for the old couple to go on a trip, and I was bored by myself, so I called Tiangu to come to you!" "After listening to Zhang Mu's words, I was silent, I knew that Zhang Mu would do this completely to take care of me, this guy can't go home a few times a year, who would be willing to arrange his parents to travel during the New Year!

I also said that a person is boring, I know that he is afraid that I will be lonely, so he called the tengu and came directly to me. Seeing that I was silent, Zhang Mu patted my back with a smile: "Why are you stunned!" Move things! I bought something to eat, and I also bought noodles and meat filling, and we'll make dumplings to eat later! ”

I hurriedly wiped the tears that had not yet come in my eyes, and then helped Zhang Mu get something from the car. Zhang Mu said while moving back: "I didn't buy wine, I knew you had a lot of wine here, so I didn't bring it." I also smiled and said with a smile after helping Zhang Mu close the trunk: "The wine pipe is enough!" What I have here is! ”

When Zhang Mu and I walked to the bar with our things, Tengu had already eaten half of the roast chicken I had put on the table by himself! I looked at Tengu and didn't know what to say! Tengu ate the only remaining chicken leg and said, "Can we not make dumplings!" It's too slow to eat like that, and I'm in a hurry! ”

I looked at Tengu with a smile and said, "Then you don't have to worry about what you say!" "If you want me to say that it is to use one pound of bread to put three catties of traps, and steam it directly on the pot, so that it tastes cool!" Zhang Mu and I looked at each other and were completely speechless!

"Haha! I've heard your uncle say that you can eat, but today I saw it, one pound of noodles and three pounds of traps, what are you eating? The pie isn't that big, is it? Director Cui's voice came slowly from the door. I looked at Director Cui who walked in slowly, and I couldn't hide the surprise in my heart.

"Why are you here?" After Director Cui walked in, he slowly put down the two bottles of wine in his hand. Then he said, "What? Can't I come? My wife and children are not here, and I can't leave during the New Year, so I came to you to make do with it, I didn't come empty-handed, I ordered a little food from the restaurant, and then I also brought two bottles of special Moutai, which I brought from Beijing when I took office!

Special, something that money can't drink! It's cheap for you today! After Director Cui's words were finished, I quickly let him into the store: "Welcome, why not!" I really didn't expect that we would celebrate the New Year together today. ”

Director Cui smiled: "Haha, isn't this also good?" Today we are open to eat and drink! "Zhang Mu and Tengu and I looked at Director Cui and laughed. Laughing and laughing, my eyes were moist, it seems that I Li Hao is not a friend, and I am not so lonely in the yang world.

After the food in the restaurant was delivered, Zhang Mu and I, Director Cui and Tengu sat around the table, filling everyone's cups with liquor, and then Zhang Mu and I raised the wine glasses at Director Cui: "Are you dry?" Director Cui smiled and raised his glass: "I'm afraid of you!" Come! Dry! As he spoke, the three of us raised our heads and drank the liquor in our glasses.

By the time we put down the glasses, there were already four large plates empty on the table! "! Big brother! One plate of lobster, one plate of snails, two plates of open-backed shrimp! Three plates of cucumbers and two plates of peanuts, and you're done eating it yourself! And can I ask you! Where did those lobster shells go! You won't eat it! I looked at the tengu with a devastated expression.

The tengu calmly ate the lobster and said, "It's okay, I'm chewing it badly!" ”
