"When will it be Tailai?" I asked.

"Wait another quarter of an hour." Lu Xiannian said.

A quarter of an hour was a short time, but for me, who was already hungry with my chest pressed against my back, every second of waiting was an ordeal.

"Didi! Didi! ”

I looked at my watch, no more, no less, exactly a quarter of an hour.

There was a car at the door, or Santana 2000.

It was a dick to open Santana this year, but that was in 2002. At that time, Santana was 2000, and a car cost 1670,000.

At that time, 1670,000 yuan could buy a set of 70 or 80 square meters of commercial housing in Chongqing. If you can drive Santana 2000, even if you are not a local tyrant, at least you have to be a big money.

"Mr. Lu, I asked a lot of people, and I finally found you."

A middle-aged man with a big belly got out of the car, and he looked at Lu Xiannian as if he had seen his father.

The large model of Santana 2000 is said to have seen a lot on the market. Is it worth his excitement to be so excited about a sloppy and sloppy old man who can't afford to eat noodles and lives like a bad old man named Hanako?

"What are you looking for me?" Lu Xiannian asked.

"I want to invite the old gentleman to my house and help my daughter see her photo." The middle-aged man said.

"Even if the emperor asks me to look at my face, he has to come to my shabby house in person. I'll go to your house to show your daughter, and I'm not afraid of losing her birthday! ”

Lu Xiannian didn't know that the noodles in the kitchen were gone? Finally, a fool who gave money came, and he actually served a shelf? The big money is temperamental, and if you offend the business, it will be yellow, and we master and apprentice will continue to be hungry.

"She's a little inconvenient." The middle-aged man looked embarrassed.

"If you look at Lao Tzu, you have to follow Lao Tzu's rules!"

Lu Xiannian actually called himself Lao Tzu with a middle-aged man? The key guy was not only angry, but also laughed happily.

"Old man, why don't you move the old man?"

The middle-aged man touched an envelope and handed it to Lu Xiannian.

Not to mention accepting it, Lu Xiannian didn't even look at it.

Judging from the thickness of the envelope, it should be full of 100 yuan bills, not to mention thousands of yuan, all of which can be used to buy noodles, at least to ensure that our master and apprentice will not go hungry for two or three years.

People who can drive Santana 2000 naturally have eyesight. Seeing that Lu Xiannian refused to accept the envelope, he immediately smiled and stuffed the envelope into my hand.

I am just a mortal, still a mortal with a hungry stomach, without Lu Xiannian's immortal wind bones that regard money as dung. As soon as the envelope was stuffed into his hand, he naturally caught it.

The middle-aged man was very smart, he didn't say anything, he just retreated and returned to the car. Santana 2000 didn't start, that guy was waiting for Lu Xiannian to get in the car.

"If you take the money yourself, go by yourself, Lao Tzu can't go." Lu Xiannian said.

"I've only been learning from you for half a month, and I haven't learned any skills, isn't it a shame for you to go?" Don't say anything about the fortune-telling in advance, even if you have the ability to fool people, compared with Lu Xiannian, there is a difference between me and Lu Xiannian.

"I can't see it! Do you still have self-knowledge? Lu Xiannian teased me, and then said: "Fortune-telling is a peep into heaven, and a peep at God." Only when the time, place, and people are all right, can they not be discovered by God, otherwise they will be punished by God. It's like you peeping at Wu Xuemei taking a bath, if you were caught by Wu Lao Er at that time, can you guarantee that you won't be beaten out of shit by him? ”

"I am your apprentice, and if I receive money, it is equivalent to you receiving money. That guy is looking for you, not me. If you don't care, I don't care, anyway, it's your reputation that ruins, not mine. "If you can't fool Lu Xiannian, you can only use the trick of playing a scoundrel to deal with him.

"It is you who takes his money, and cause and effect naturally fall on you. To tell you the truth, before you, I took in two apprentices. Just because like you, you take any money, provoke cause and effect, invite heaven's damnation, and beg for death. Lu Xiannian's eyes showed a trace of sadness, and said: "It's only three, Lao Tzu can only accept three apprentices at most in this life, and if you get rid of two, you are the last." If you are also condemned by God, you will die, and Lao Tzu will die in the future, and I will not even have a person to collect my body. ”

"Then you won't help me?" I asked.

"I caused the trouble myself, and I went. If you don't suffer a little loss, I don't think you can have a long memory. Lu Xiannian looked at me with a serious face and said, "You have read a lot of things in the books in the past half a month, and it is time to practice." It's just that I didn't expect that the first life you want to count will come so steeply. Providence is like this, and I can't do it. If you can get through, your future in dog days is limitless; If you can't get by, Master, I will prepare a high-quality mahogany coffin for you to ensure that you can have a good birth in the next life. ”

"A few thousand dollars in the envelope at most, and you're going to help me prepare the coffin? If you don't calculate it accurately, it's a big deal to return the money to that guy, as for it? I asked.

"You'll know when you go." Lu Xiannian gently patted me on the shoulder and said, "When you look at the face, you must be attentive." ”

"Hmm!"

I nodded, grabbed the envelope and headed out the door. I've already figured it out, I'll see it, and if I can't see it, I'll return the money to that guy.

"The envelope is for Lao Tzu." Lu Xiannian called out to me.

"Don't you take it?" I'm a little confused.

"I can't accept him, but you are my apprentice, and you should honor me."

Lu Xiannian was not polite to me, and directly stretched out his hand and snatched the envelope away.

"In case I can't see it, I'll have to pay him back!" I say.

"It's a fart! If a hospital doctor dies, will the medical fee be refunded? Lu Xiannian glanced at me and said, "In our business, there is no reason to return the money we have taken over, this is the rule!" ”

Propriety? Rules again? As soon as I heard Lu Xiannian say the rules, I couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Then you'll have to give me some! I'm still hungry! I said.

"Santana 2000 can afford to drive, will you not be able to afford a meal? If you can't even cheat a meal, don't say it's my apprentice, I can't afford to lose that person. ”

I have to cheat when I eat, why do I feel more and more that I, the master, am a little unreliable!

I went out, walked to the edge of the cab, and said to the middle-aged man, "Master told me to go and have a look first." ”

"Okay!" The guy nodded with joy and said, "Famous teachers are high apprentices, little master get in the car." ”

The middle-aged man's name is Qian Yansheng, and he does business in the county, which can be regarded as a small family property. This Santana 2000 was bought by him half a year ago.

I didn't see it by looking at it, I chatted with him along the way.

Qian Yansheng's home is in a high-end community in the county.

Security is guarded at the door, large garden inside and elevator upstairs.

I came out of the small mountain village, and after I walked into the community, it was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. With every step I took, I was afraid that the mud on my shoes would stain the shiny floor tiles.

Qian Yansheng's daughter is called Qian Ruoruo, and she also took the high school entrance examination this year. According to Qian Yansheng, after the high school entrance examination, his daughter suddenly became a little abnormal, and locked herself in the house every day, not going out or talking.

He asked a doctor to do various examinations for her, but nothing was found, and he spent money to hire a psychologist in Chongqing, but it was still useless.

I heard about my master's name from a friend who was in business, so I made a special trip to Longgang Field to invite my master to come and see.

The doctor couldn't check it out, the psychologist was useless, and Qian Yansheng was completely out of tricks, so he rushed to the doctor and ran to ask my master for the magic stick. But unfortunately, the god stick was not invited, so I could only arrest me, a strong man who is not even a half-hanger.

I made a plan on the way, and I remembered it if I couldn't figure it out. The ancient book that Lu Xiannian showed me had a lot of illustrations, including "Twelve Palaces and Five Senses" and "Luck Parts of the Passing Years", and he forced me to memorize them.

He said at the time that as long as he memorized these two pictures, at least when looking at the face, he would not make a mistake.

As soon as Qian Yansheng pushed open the door of Qian Ruoruo's room, I smelled the fragrance of a girl.

The bedroom is pink, and the cartoon dolls drawn with watercolor pens on the wall reveal the playfulness and cuteness of the girl.

Qian Ruoruo sat quietly in front of the window, facing the window, but the curtains were drawn, and he couldn't see the outside at all. Qian Yansheng tried to call her several times, but Qian Ruoruo didn't pay attention to him as if he hadn't heard it.
