Chapter 25: A Chance Encounter with a Fortune Teller (1)

"Well, let's go and get a talisman back! If you want to please, you must ask someone who has opened the light, otherwise it will be a souvenir and will not work. Xu Aqi said.

Lin Chen smiled, "You didn't say you bought it?" ”

"Hmmm! Or please! Didn't you say that this temple land is very effective! It's better to have a sense of awe for the gods! ”

"That's right! It's just that in this place, it's hard to tell the real from the fake, which reliably your eyesight! I can't! ”

Lin Chen stared at the crowded crowd in front of him and was stunned for a moment.

He clearly knew that almost all the talismans sold on this street had never been opened, and those that had not been lit were estimated to be ineffective, so it was just a matter of whether to buy them or not, at best, it was a psychological comfort.

If you want to buy the consecration, you have to go back to the temple, he frowned.

There is also a question that makes Lin Chen depressed, will the amulet that has been opened be sold at an astonishing price?

Lin Chen has never bought it, no, it should have been invited.

So I don't know what the asking price will be, if the price is too high and I can't afford it, wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of my girlfriend.

He actually wanted to ask for a talisman to go back, but he regretted that he was in a hurry when he went out, and he didn't put more money in his wallet, and he probably didn't have any money in WeChat!

"Amulets can actually be purchased online.."

The sentence that seemed so low that only Lin Chen himself could hear it was still captured by Xu Aqi's ears.

"That's right! However, I just don't know if it will work if I don't come to the temple in person! ”

As he was talking, I didn't know what was going on in front of me, but there were a bunch of people, all of them stretching their necks, tiptoeing, three layers inside, three layers outside, surrounded by water.

"Lin Chen! Look at the crowd of people over there! What's wrong? Let's go, go and see! ”

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Lin Chen's mouth chewing the bun temporarily stopped moving, and the expression on his whole face showed a standard "embarrassment".

It's human nature to be curious, and that's true! But in Lin Chen's opinion, Xu Aqi's curiosity should be more than ten times that of others.

Wherever there is a disturbance, her head will definitely stick out for the first time!

If curiosity kills cats, Xu Aqi should be the cat with a strong sense of curiosity who has it everywhere, has to smell everything in person, and rubs a cat's claws!

It's just curiosity! But this time, satisfying her curiosity seemed to be a matter of personal effort. Lin Chen glanced at so many old people, his brows furrowed into pimples, he was really too lazy to move!

Lin Chen swallowed the last bite of the bun with great difficulty, his fingers rubbing his chin, but his feet did not move!

"I'm really going to squeeze in! What's there to see! Waste time! It's nothing more than those things: catching a thief, husband and wife fighting, buyers and sellers arguing, or who stepped on whom's foot, who touched whom's waist, let's go to it.. How boring! When you squeeze in and take a look, you can't run away and it's all this! ”

"What if it wasn't?"

"If I hadn't told me, I'd have given you a big top!"

As soon as he finished saying this, Lin Chen subconsciously covered his mouth, and when he said this, he didn't think about it at all.

As Lin Chen expected, Xu Aqi was really serious, she deliberately kept a straight face, didn't say a word, grabbed Lin Chen's clothes and was about to rush into the crowd.

"Ouch! Grandma, you can do it! My clothes are torn! It's the most expensive piece of clothing I've ever had! On the street, let's pull and pull, what kind of system! People still think I'm wrong with you! ”

On the street, the appearance of being pulled by a woman's clothes really made Lin Chen feel embarrassed.

"Grandma, let it go!"

"No! I'm going to make sure you see it with your own eyes! Let you understand this big top! ”

"Good! Good! I raise my hands in surrender! You let go, I'll squeeze with you! Ouch! ”

Lin Chen pursed his lips and rolled his eyes towards the sky.

A small clearing was vacated in the crowd, and a blood-red gossip map was drawn on the ground, and a fortune teller sat cross-legged on the side of the picture, a very thin man, with a rectangular face, a high nose, and some scattered wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and mouth, like a piece of cypress bark.

His eyes were slightly closed, and he was wearing a tattered blue-gray robe, a blue-gray homespun hat, two long earth-yellow bands hanging from the top of the hat, and a half-human-long bamboo pole with a polished head lying flat beside him.

"Humph! Deceiving! Don't believe it! ”

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, with a short figure, a blue face, and a very angry look, he should have just asked the fortune teller to calculate, and it was estimated that the calculation was not good, so he squeezed out of the pile of people with a snort and walked away.

The crowd then dispersed.

Lin Chen and Xu Aqi finally squeezed in, they didn't see anything, they were somewhat disappointed, and they were about to disperse with the crowd, but they saw a skinny old lady walking up tremblingly.

"Wouldn't you like to do something? Why do you come out to deceive people! Those who engage in these deceitful tricks will be punished! ”

The old lady was dark and thin, her face wrinkled like walnut skin, and a little red, and her fingers pointing at the fortune teller were shaking up and down, and she looked even more angry when she spoke.

"A few days ago, I was deceived by a person dressed as a monk and took away a lot of silver taels, and today I met such a deceitful Taoist priest as you! You liars, why are there so many! ”

Hearing someone say that he was calm, the fortune teller was calm.

He was still sitting upright, his eyes slightly closed, his face was as yellow as wax, his lips were also white, his gray beard trembled with the shaking of his lips, and his eyes seemed to be open and turned upwards in the sunken eye frame.

"Listen to the voice, you're a big lady!"

"Oh! That's right! I'm an old lady, and I'm seventy-nine years old! After living for such an age, I haven't seen anything! I hate you liars who have lost your money! I'm no less inappropriate! ”

The old lady spoke with some difficulty, leaning on a crutch and bowing like a shrimp.

"Auntie, this is surprising! I have been blind since I was a child, and I learned to tell hexagrams from my master, and I am blind, but I know it in my heart! I'm not lying! I just told the truth! He doesn't like to hear it, he just wants to hear what sounds good! He said that I was a liar, and I didn't give money! If I only pick what is good to tell him, then I am a liar! It was because I didn't lie to him that I told the truth! To tell the truth, if you don't listen to it, he will be unhappy! You say I'm wronged! ”

After the fortune teller finished speaking, he sighed deeply, "I'm blind, but my heart is good!" Why do you want to deceive people! I can't do anything else! It's not easy to do this business! ”

His words seemed to make sense, the old lady took a step back, tilted her head, squinted her eyes, carefully looked the fortune teller up and down, and gently lifted the crutch in her hand, stretched it out in front of the Taoist priest, and shook it back and forth.

After tossing like this for a while, seeing that the Taoist priest did not react, the old lady put down the crutch.

"You don't look like a bad person! Are you serious? Really not lying? ”

"I'm not a liar!"

"I don't believe it! You are not a god, how do you know the blessings and misfortunes of others! ”

"Believe it or not, big lady! Otherwise, I'll do the math for you, forget it, and you'll know if I'm lying! I don't want to explain it to you anymore, it's up to you to see if I'm right! If not, you won't have to pay me! ”

A fly buzzed over, not knowing whether the fortune teller was really blind or falsely blind, he waved his hand twice in front of him, and the fly flew away.

The old lady pursed her lips and trembled: "Well, are you serious? No, no money! ”

"Seriously! I'm not allowed to pay back any money! ”

When the old lady heard this, she took two more steps forward with her crutches and hunched over, as if she was in a state of interest.

"Well, I'm all about to enter the ground, forget it, it's in vain, if you want to count, you can show my son! See if he is blessed or if he is in calamity! ”

"Auntie, you give me your son's birth morning eight characters."

When the old lady said her son's birthday, the fortune teller rolled her eyes and began to pinch her fingers, muttering something in her mouth, but Lin Chen and Xu Aqi didn't understand it at all.

"Auntie, your son is a native life, playful by nature, easy to make friends, drunk today!"

The fortune teller's words seemed to shock the old lady, she took a breath, stretched her head forward, and said, "Yes! Right! That's right, my son is really dirty, the kind of soil on the wall, and he loves to play! Flowers, birds do not leave their hands, and I also have a big yellow dog! A lot of fox friends and dog friends! All day long is just play! ”

"But he's too old this year, you tell him to be careful!"

"Huh?"

The old lady's brows furrowed into pimples, and her expression froze with nervousness.

She must know that Tai Sui's head can't move the ground, and her son is still a dirt life, which is amazing!

"Ouch! This, this, how good this is! I'm such a son! If he has three longs and two shorts, how can I live! ”

Lin Chen quietly smiled at Xu Aqi, put his mouth under her ear, lowered his voice, and said, "Acting!" Look at the old lady scared! ”

Xu Aqi nodded knowingly.

"Your son is a good boy, very sensible, very kind, very filial, and very benevolent! I'm not wrong! ”

"Yes!"

Listening to the compliments that came from the fortune teller's mouth, the old lady believed it, Lin Chen and Xu Aqi looked at each other and smiled.

"It's just that this kid is miserable!"

The fortune teller raised his eyebrows!

"You're right! Yes! This kid, although he is playful, he can think of me in everything! Buy me this, buy that! Oh! What did you just say? Is his life miserable? Tell me what's going on? ”

"Alas!" The fortune teller sighed, stood up, and silently recited something in his mouth, and after a while, he pointed to the southwest with a bamboo pole and said, "He is destined to wipe his head, and he may not be worried about his life!" Bad things happen in this direction! ”

The old lady stared at the fortune teller's bamboo pole in a panicked manner, as if she were looking at a monster that might take her precious son away at any moment.

"You're saying it again! What happened to my son? ”

"Your son's life will be in danger! You have to beware of him! ”

"Huh? Are you sure? He drives a big truck to deliver goods to others, and runs on the road every day, and the direction you are talking about is the direction in which he is running at high speed! I've been getting my right eyelid jumping lately, wondering if something is going to happen! ”

There were people watching the excitement next to him, and they were whispering.

"Huh? That's right! ”

"Yes! This is something that can't be blinded! ”

Two large, green-headed flies flew over and chased over Mr. Michimei's head, whirling around and making a nasty "buzzing" sound.

At first, the Taoist priest pretended to be calm and ignored it completely, but later, when he was also annoyed, he stretched out a muscular hand and waved it on the top of his head, and grabbed it at random, and when he opened it, there was a fly lying in his palm.

The other fly seemed to have understood human nature, and when it saw that the situation was not good, it "buzzed" and flew away.

The crowd was in an uproar!

"It's amazing!" Xu Aqi tugged at Lin Chen's sleeve and whispered.

Lin Chen's face was disdainful, "It's nothing! The blind cat crashes into a dead mouse! It can only be said that it is a coincidence! ”

The Taoist priest seemed to hear everyone's discussions, raised his head slightly, his eyebrows tightened, licked the corners of his lips, and continued to say to the old lady: "Yes! Car accidents are fiercer than tigers, and many driving schools are like that now, and you can get a driver's license by paying a little money. Many of the drivers on the road are two-knife, so you have to be careful if you want your son to drive! It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided! ”

"Ouch! Something really is going to happen! ”

The old lady muttered to herself, leaning forward trembling with nervousness.

The fortune teller followed: "Old lady, you are fortunate to have met me today, otherwise, you will face the dilemma of being lonely for life!" ”

The Taoist priest's words frightened the old lady, and she looked flustered and asked eagerly, "Ouch! What should I do? I'm such a son! He's my life! Is there any remedy? You're going to save him! ”

"There's a way, there's still a way!" The fortune teller seemed to roll up his beard with confidence.

"Oh! That's great! What's the solution? Say it! ”

"Small business, this one has to charge some money and two!"

The old lady couldn't wait to focus her head again, "Okay, just say it!" ”

The fortune teller took out a piece of red paper, closed it in the palm of his hand, seemed to close his eyes, and read it for a while, speaking so fast that he couldn't hear what he was saying.

After a while, the fortune teller said: "This red paper is for you, you go back and wrap it tightly, put it away, press it at the bottom of your box, press it for seven days and seven nights, then take it out, kill another chicken, bury the red paper and the chicken under the big willow tree, remember that it must be a willow tree!" Say it with your mouth, and ask the gods to bless your son, and if you say it three times, your son will be saved! ”

"Then give me the red paper! If I do this, will I really be fine? ”

"The chicken has been stricken in the place of your son, and your son will be fine! Remember to do it carefully, don't be sloppy! ”

"Yes, yes, sloppy! Don't be sloppy! ”

"Also, auntie, you still have to go to the temple to put some incense, that place is the most effective! If you ask the gods for your blessing, how can you not go to incense! I have told you these words, and I have leaked the secret of heaven, and I will also put on some incense to save your son and myself from disaster, you say yes! ”

"Incense?"

"Yes, on the incense, remember, to go on the six pillars of incense, on the three pillars to protect one generation, six pillars to protect two generations, if you have grandchildren, on the nine pillars, to protect three generations! Of course, it is better to have thirteen pillars, thirteen pillars of incense, and it will be complete. If you want incense for your son, I will also incense for your son to avoid disaster! ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, as if she understood, and touched all over her body before she found a few coins and put them in the hands of the fortune teller.

"I wonder if this little incense money is enough?"

The fortune teller checked the money in his hand, thinking that the old lady really didn't have much money, so he said, "Forget it, so be it!" If that's not enough, I'll do it for you! ”

"Thank you very much! Ouch! Oh my grandma! I've met you today! Thank God so much! ”

After taking the red paper from the fortune teller, the old lady took out a piece of cloth from her sleeve, wrapped it, and put it back in her pocket with great care, and then went away satisfied.
