Chapter 3: Fortune Telling
This family is so scary!
I've suspected my mom more than once since I was a child, that's right, but am I her own son?
This question has always been in the top three unsolved mysteries of my life, second only to the difficult question of my sexual orientation, and the number one question is still the same old question: Why am I so cowardly!
In short, it is undeniable that I don't need to have any worries about our family's logistics support work, not to mention that our family has a permanent right of residence in the agency compound, that is, my grandfather's high pension is enough for my mother and her to live a stable and comfortable life, not to mention that my grandfather is still equipped with a standard official class to take turns to take care of him, and the heavy work at home basically does not need my mother's hands.
Aside from these soft factors, I think they still hope that I can go out and experience it, according to my grandfather's meaning: I, a wolf in captivity in his twenties, must be released to see blood, in order to arouse the wildness flowing in my blood, because in their eyes I am still a bloody man. Of course, this is just what they think, I haven't thought about it that way, I just want to go out to travel, fall in love, make a few friends and meet some adventures on my feet to strengthen myself, and then go home to find a leisurely job, and pull it for a dull life.
At this point, I started to prepare for my trip.
In fact, before I went out for the first time, I didn't have any emotions such as haste and nervousness, and my mind was very calm.
First, I have a lot of physical strength and I am very confident in my skills, even if I encounter one or two robbers, I can easily handle it, as for the number of people, just accept your fate!
Second, because after seeing the corpse of that brother, I did think a lot, and began to realize that the current life is not what I want, and since then I have read a lot of travelogue materials according to his ideas, and it can also be said that the keyboard warrior has been a keyboard warrior for many years, and gradually became yearning for the outside world, so for so many years, although I have not gone out of the frog at the bottom of the well, my heart has already traveled the world.
Third, because I am timid and sensitive, I will never be impulsive in what I do, and I will calmly calculate all aspects of the arrangement before everything, when I make this decision, all my needs have begun to be prepared, most of the sub-utensils have been successfully purchased through various channels, and you only need to go to the store to pick up the car in the afternoon.
As for what kind of equipment I buy, it's actually very simple and conventional, such as a flashlight, a helmet, gloves or something, but most of the things, including clothes, are just some military-quality ones that I got with a special relationship.
There is no such standard equipment as the Flying Dragon Exploring the Cloud Claw and the Centipede Hanging Mountain Ladder, just my two little cowards, I don't dare to think about the exploration side when I am killed, what are you preparing for that thing.
But there is one thing I have to mention, I may be deeply influenced by "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" I have always been very partial to the sapper shovel, out of various considerations I decided to bring one, but I don't like the special brigade that has many functions, so for this reason I also specially bribed the logistics department in charge of the warehouse management squad leader of the war preparation materials, and exchanged a roast leg of lamb for a 205 wooden handle conventional sapper shovel, which can be said to be an artifact for all kinds of people who often mix in the wild, self-defense can be used as a weapon, and camping can be used as a tool, can be cut, chopped or smashed, and can also be used to fry eggs if necessary......
If there is no problem with the equipment, then the route remains, and my master plan is that I can really travel around the world, I have the time and no worries, and it is not impossible for me. As for willpower and persistence, and whether I will give up because I am tired, that kind of word will definitely not appear on me, just kidding, for a child who has not yet had a high backpack since he was a child, he has begun to run with a marching backpack, and it is already a very luxurious thing to have a choice between giving up two words.
So the only thing I lack is experience, the ability to solve the real problem that falls on you, and that's what I'm most afraid of lacking.
But I'm lucky, my door is the 109 National Highway, the starting point is BJ and the end point is Lhasa, from my starting point, the whole journey is a total of 2,700 kilometers, not only can you enjoy the unique beauty of the northwest, but also can pass through Hoh Xil to feel the vast and unrestrained freedom of wild animals. And this road and the Sichuan-Tibet line of 318 have been made into a tourist route by some tourists in recent years, and there will be a lot of security supplies and riding friends along the way, I will quickly get started among the friends, lay a good foundation for more long-distance travel in the future, and learn good experience, and this will be the first stage of my practice.
Once you've got everything ready, you're waiting for a better day to go, I believe this!
In addition, it is now more than a month after the end of the New Year, and it is very cold for the Great North, and it is very irrational for me to choose to travel in the off-season in this off-season, but I can't help it, because the sense of yearning for nature can only be experienced if you have really traveled.
At noon, I ate a few bites of food and hurried to the car shop.
The wind on the road was very strong, I tightened my clothes, looked left and right to admire the rapid development of the city over the years, the years of life in the army made me rarely contact with the outside world, and the occasional month of visiting my home also made me sleep in a state of exhaustion.
When I passed by Wanda Plaza, I was attracted by those huge IMAX characters, and I was thinking about going to see a movie when I was free, after all, I had never been to the theater when I was so old.
At this time, a very attractive old voice pierced my ears: "Little friend, do you want to tell a fortune?" ”
I turned my head strangely and followed the sound to see an old man in a dirty jacket, about sixty or seventy years old, wearing an old military fur hat on his head, sitting on a horse on the side of the road and pretending to smile mysteriously, but I saw a sense of lewdness in such a serious smile......
From the frequency of his laughter, I was wondering if he was an elderly gay kidnapping a handsome young man, so I had to say angrily: "No money!" Then he turned around and left.
The old man hurriedly waved his hand, threw a wink at me and smiled: "Don't mention the money, it's cheesy and hurts feelings, I'll give it to you for free." ”
Tsk, look at this routine, the same as the supermarket instant noodle promotion, first seduce you with a free trial, and then devour your wallet with words little by little, I didn't expect this old man to learn marketing.
But am I the kind of person who doesn't take advantage of it?
Of course not!
Anyway, it's still early, I came out after eating, and the car shop may not be open during the lunch break, holding the mentality that the child is idle on a rainy day and is idle with this old man for a while.
Then I walked up to his feet and squatted down in front of the rag with a big Tai Chi pattern painted on it, and asked him, "Then what are you going to give me for this free service?" Is it because I have a bloody disaster next, or will there be a catastrophe in my life, how are you going to break it for me! ”
The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said solemnly: "That's all a trick of a scammer who cheats money on the side of the road, I'm not!" ”
Hearing this, I was really afraid that the sentence that I am a fairy called Liu Lao Liu popped out of his mouth, and then asked me if you want to be a fairy!
I can't let him insult my idol and immediately say, "Guess one thing at me, otherwise I will leave immediately, and I won't talk nonsense to you here!" ”
The old man saw that I wanted to get up but didn't hurry to 'hum', and three words slowly popped out of his mouth: "You are short of money!" ”
, this old man has definitely learned marketing!
I hate dealing with the old man, really, I can't always get cheap, but he did say it, I can't be untrustworthy, I have to obediently listen to how he is going to 'lie to me' next, the old man saw my face unconvinced, so he changed his tone and said: "Children, don't be afraid, I won't cheat you out of money, you just need to listen to me finish speaking!" ”
I waved my hand in frustration, not bothering to pay attention to him and motioning to him.
The old man didn't care if he didn't respect me, and continued: "The old man's name is Qiu Daozi, and he studied under the Plum Blossom Yishu Shao Yong faction, and his history has been more than a thousand years. I sent the ancestors to perform hexagrams according to all the things that nature has bestowed, such as sound, direction, time, movement, geography, time of day, people, colors, animals and plants, and so on. It can observe all the visions of perceptual things as a way to predict its development trend, so that you can gain insight into its opportunities to achieve the effect of knowing yourself and knowing your opponent and repeatedly succeeding, but the purpose of our school has always been only for those who are destined! ”
I hiccuped, plucked out my ears and listened to this Qiu Daozi pulling up ancient texts and pulling up history, and I knew that it would not be finished for a while and a half, so I quickly stopped him: "What are you going to say, I'm in a hurry!" ”
The old man pretended to be profound, shook his head and said: "Young people are just too impetuous, let's put it this way, I have a fate with your children, but you have a fate with our nature!" ”
No matter what I said, I liked his last sentence, and I didn't plan to fight him here, so I took out twenty yuan from my pocket and gave him and said, "It's a lot, so I should treat you to eat shaved noodles." After that, he got up and left, but the old man's next sentence instantly changed my opinion of all old liars, and it was a slow voice:
"You're going to go out soon, aren't you?"
His performance just now only caused me to hate it, but after saying this, it caused me to regret deeply, because I knew that when he said this, the money in my pocket would definitely be less open, and you said that I had nothing to do to squat down and waste this nonsense with him!
Halfway up, I rolled my eyes at him and crouched down again, and asked him, "How do you see that!" ”
Qiu Daozi pushed me the twenty yuan I put on the Tai Chi pattern, and pretended to smile mysteriously: "I said that I can use everything that nature gives me to give hexagrams, and it is not a lie!" ”
I gave him a blank look, picked up the twenty, took out a fifty, put it in front of him, and scolded in my heart: This old man's marketing degree must have a master's degree, and at the same time I was also thinking in my heart, fifty must not be more, this money should be used to care for the lonely and widowed old man, help others, and give him alms.
The old liar looked at the fifty yuan in front of him and showed a smug expression that I captured, but as soon as he saw that I wanted to speak, he preemptively said: "The child is destined to be dangerous on this trip, but I look at your face but you are a blessed person, although you will experience all kinds of difficulties, but every time you come to a dangerous moment, you will definitely turn the danger into a disaster." ”
I sighed and said impatiently to him: "What the hell are you going to say, Rory, I almost understand your routine, it's not that I have a big problem, you have a way to crack it, I'll give you fifty, a lot, and I don't wear a watch!" ”
The old man was obviously a little confused by what I said, and wondered: "I'm wearing a watch, what kind of watch do I bring!" ”
I threw the money at him and got up again, but one of his words left me again:
"Actually, there is only one reason why I called the little brother, and the old man wants to ask the little brother for a favor!"
Listen, the title has been changed to little brother and started to set almost, I stared at him and said depressedly: "What help, you don't know what my name is, will I lend you money?" ”
The old man didn't answer, his face quietly reddened, I'll go, he really has this idea.
