Chapter 222: Dragon and Tiger Mountain Inheritance
As a coastal province at the southern end, although Guangzhou Province did not become a super province accounting for one-eighth of the country's total economic output as later generations, it was also one of the prosperous cities in this era, far from being comparable to the dilapidated cities of Shicheng Renjia Town.
As a large province in the south, the transportation is convenient and extends in all directions, and the means of transportation such as trains and ferries have been cultivated.
Su Mo could only take a carriage from Nanyang to Shicheng, but he could take a train to Guangzhou, which greatly saved time.
At this time, Su Mo was sitting on a green train to Guangzhou, which was a means of transportation that had been eliminated in later generations and was almost invisible, in the Qing Dynasty, because the imperial court was corrupt, conservative, and autocratic, only the rules of the ancestors obeyed, and he refused to accept new things. They regarded the construction of railways and the application of steam locomotives as "miraculous skills" and believed that the construction of railways would "lose my dangers, harm my fields, and hinder my feng shui", so they stubbornly refused to build railways.
Later, because of the Westernization Movement, trains began to appear in the flower planters, but at that time, the trains were basically built by Britain and the United States, and it had nothing to do with the government.
Okay, don't talk so much, although today's green train is very backward in Su Mo's eyes, it is a new thing in this era, and the fare alone is not something that ordinary people can afford. The ears were full of people, the already small carriage was crowded with people, people from all over the world gathered here, and the already hot summer weather, a sour smell permeated the carriage.
Woo woo woo~
With a chirp, it took a whole day for the train to slowly stop at the Guangzhou Railway Station.
After getting off the train.
At this time, Su Mo was dressed in a Mao suit, standing in the train station, carrying a suitcase in his hand.
Eyes swept around, the good guys are simply people coming and going, very lively, countless rickshaws whistling by, the prosperity in front of you can not be described in words, which is very rare to see such a lively picture in today's war era.
Since resurrecting Ren Zhuzhu, Su Mo has left Shicheng and come to Guangzhou.
Standing at the entrance of the railway station, Su Mo lowered his head and pondered.
"The Ren family branch is in Shatian Town, Guangzhou, but where is Shatian Town?" Su Mo muttered, when he first came to Guangzhou, he was unfamiliar with the place, and even Shatian Town didn't know where it was, and it could be said that he was looking for a needle in a haystack to find the murderer who killed Ren Zhuzhu.
However, Su Mo was not depressed, and slowly walked to the shade of a big tree at the entrance of the station.
It was crowded with rickshaws, which can be said to be a feature of this era, and soon Su Mo chose one of them and sat directly on it.
The driver pulling the cart was a sturdy man in his thirties, wearing a white and yellowed vest, showing strong arms, and speaking an authentic Cantonese dialect, if it weren't for Su Mo's previous likes to listen to some Cantonese songs, I'm afraid he really couldn't understand what the other party said.
But even so, it was quite difficult for the two to communicate.
"Guest, where are you going?" The sturdy man said with a smile, especially when he saw Su Mo dressed brightly and handsome, he bowed even more, with a restrained and respectful attitude.
"Go to Sha Tin Town!"
Su Mo said lightly, the rickshaw driver in this year is like a taxi in later generations.
If you don't know the location, you can't go to them.
Hearing this, the sturdy man really frowned, obviously knowing where Sha Tin Town was, but his face was a little hesitant, "Sha Tin Town is a little far from here......
"Money is not an issue!" Su Mo didn't talk nonsense, he took out two oceans from his pocket and threw them out, "This should be used as a tip, if it's fast, I'll have another reward." ”
Sure enough, there is nothing in this world that money can't do.
If there is, then double!
Seeing the two oceans thrown by Su Mo, the sturdy man's eyes lit up, and his face was instantly filled with an excited smile, pulling the rickshaw under the envious and jealous eyes of his peers, he walked like a fly, pulling Su Mo who was sitting on the rickshaw quickly.
Soon Su Mo knew what the coachman's mouth meant by being a little far.
It took two days and one night, setting up a bonfire in a deserted wilderness on the way, and after laying on the ground for a night, I finally arrived at Sha Tin Town in the afternoon of the next day.
After seeing the three words of Sha Tin Town, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave the coachman a sum of money and sent him away.
As a result, as soon as he arrived in Shatian Town, Su Mo found that this town was close to the sea, and there was a wharf next to it, and there was a special ferry docking.
Damn, I knew I could take a boat, why the did I take a rickshaw.
It's bad that I've been sleeping out for so long.
Originally, he thought that the driver was very enthusiastic, but after discovering this, he was a little angry, and when he turned his head again, the driver had already pulled the rickshaw and disappeared.
Shaking his head, Su Mo walked towards Shatian Town a little speechlessly.
Compared with Renjia Town, Sha Tin Town is much more prosperous.
And because Guangzhou is close to the sea, the other end is the Xiangjiang River, so it is influenced by the Xiangjiang culture, for example, the people of Xiangjiang are more superstitious, and they attach great importance to feng shui physiognomy or something, so those feng shui masters have a very high status in the Xiangjiang River, and they are often the guests of various high-ranking officials and wealthy people.
Influenced by the Xiangjiang culture, this part of Guangzhou is also superstitious about feng shui.
However, because of the movement of Westernization culture and the invasion of Western missionaries, the beliefs here are very differentiated, and those who believe in it are very believing, and those who do not believe in it are classified as feudal superstitions.
Moreover, in Guangzhou, the feng shui masters are very active and have a high status, but they are about to starve to death like corpse chasers.
Because of the developed transportation, in the past, people and passengers who died in a foreign land needed corpse chasers to send them back to their hometowns, and now they directly use the train to transport the corpses home, so those corpse chasers have been laid off and changed jobs, which is very miserable.
Sha Tin Town implements feng shui physiognomy very well, and after walking into one of the streets, all of them are set up stalls to see the face, which can be described as a feng shui street.
And it looks like business is pretty good.
"It's worthy of Guangzhou Province, how many local teachers do you have to feed." Su Mo said strangely, but after turning around, he found that these physiognomy masters were basically like goods, and they didn't have any level at all, and they all pretended to be ghosts and cheated people out of money.
Outside a shop at the end of the street, there was a long queue of people from the door to the door, blocking the entire street.
"It's another feng shui museum, but this one is so popular, do the people inside really have real materials?" Su Mo looked inside with some curiosity, this is a feng shui hall called 'Jin Operator', but the door has been blocked by water, and there is a one-person tall plaque erected outside the door, and there is also a gold-framed photo on it, which is a group photo of a man in a yellow vest and a wealthy old man in a suit.
There were a lot of mixed voices in my ears.
"Master Jin Operator's calculations are so accurate, I came to thank him today."
"yes, yes, I came all the way to ask him to see him."
"Look, Master Jin is back."
……
With a shout from the crowd, the eyes of countless people all looked in one direction, and even Su Mo was attracted.
Soon out of the crowd came a man in a yellow coat, he wore black sunglasses, played with a pure gold abacus in his hand, and looked like one of the photos he had just seen.
Outside the originally crowded store, the flow of people automatically separated, making way for the gold operator to pass.
Countless aunts and aunts on both sides waved their arms, more terrifying than those star-chasing brain-dead fans in later generations, and screamed from time to time.
It didn't take long for the Golden Operator to walk into the store, and then the crowd rushed inside frantically, trying to find the Golden Operator Master to tell his fortune.
"It's so arrogant, but it's so popular!"
Su Mo couldn't help but exclaim, he had never encountered this kind of scene before, whether it was Uncle Nine and Mao Xiaofang, they were very low-key, he didn't expect that the feng shui master in Guangzhou would be so popular and respected.
Just as Su Mo was about to go in and take a look, a young man came out of it, and shouted in his mouth: "Just now, Master Jin Operator said that I have a thick head and meat, and I will have a good fortune, and I will be rich and noble all my life, and I will not worry about food and clothing." ”
While talking, this guy didn't look at the road ahead at all, and as a result, he crashed into Su Mo's body.
Seeing this young man, after hearing the other party's words, Su Mo looked at the other party's face carefully, and then frowned.
"Boy, what do you want to do, I'm only coming to line up now, even if I wait in line until dawn, it won't be your turn, go back." The young man snorted coldly, his tone rather disdainful.
"......" Su Mo was a little speechless, and then couldn't help but say: "Anyway, just now Jin Operator really said that you are rich and expensive in your life, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing?" ”
"Of course, Master Jin Operator's words are very accurate, why don't you believe it?"
"Don't dare!" Su Mo shook his head, and then said: "But I am also proficient in some feng shui physiognomy, I look at the aspect of this brother, although it seems to be rich and beautiful, but it is actually fake luck."
You have ups and downs, you can become blessed and unblessed, and your eyebrows are pressing, you are not an auspicious appearance at all, I think you have been deceived? ”
For his feng shui physiognomy, Su Mo is still very confident.
Jitiandao Sect and Zhengyi Sect, and learned the Mai physiognomy of Longhu Mountain from his mother Wang Hui, and he thought that he was no worse than anyone else in physiognomy.
But the man who heard Su Mo speak pointed at Su Mo angrily, and said angrily: "You fart, Master Jin Operator's physiognomy is unparalleled, how can you be wrong, I have a rich and noble face in my life, you guy is talking nonsense, I will send you to the police station and sue you for slander!" ”
As the man shouted, the attention of the crowd was instantly drawn.
Seeing Su Mo questioning Jin Operator's physiognomy ability, all the crowd present was excited, surrounded Su Mo in the middle, and then began to point fingers, and even scolded.
