Chapter 102: The old man roared
Today, the wind is beautiful, and the old fish head is lying on a long chaise longue leisurely basking in the sun. He is 54 years old this year, and he is gradually entering old age, but he still has a long time to live, and he is not worried about not waking up one day. Of course, people who are a little older will always think about those questions about death unconsciously.
But the old fish head is not one of those people who like to look ahead and backward, those distant problems, just think about it, he just hopes to live today, or this minute.
What is the real name of the old fish head, the people who set up the stall here don't know, everyone only calls him the old fish head, and his name is estimated to have been forgotten. He is called Lao Yutou not because his surname is Yu, but because he has a pair of huge and prominent eyes, which look like the eyes of a goldfish, so everyone calls him Lao Yutou.
However, the old fish head didn't care that others despised his appearance, and even called himself the old fish head, which gave those stall owners some good impressions. He is a lonely old man, and when he can't open the pot, the people around him will also help.
Lao Yutou is not a local, but he has been here for almost 20 years, and he has been setting up a stall in Changti for 20 years. When he came here, no one knew how a young man in his thirties, upright and in the prime of life, could set up a fortune-telling stall in Changti and live in a mess.
However, the original small fish head has become an old fish head, but the fortune-telling stall is still the same fortune-telling stall. The surrounding stall owners have changed batch after batch, only his still tattered table, and a small shabby flag with "God Calculation" written on it.
It is said that the old fish head fortune teller is quite accurate, and some rich people even came to invite him to see feng shui or something. But when the surrounding stall owners also ran to try it, the old fish head either excused himself on the grounds that the heavenly secret could not be revealed, or he was talking nonsense, and he also talked about what would happen to the earth tomorrow, so that you should quickly pack up your things and prepare to immigrate to the moon or something.
The old fish head's attitude also made him mysterious, virtual and real, and everyone didn't know his details.
But no matter what, Lao Yutou is always very kind when he is not involved in his work, and he will invite everyone to a meal when he earns it, and he is a very good person to get along with.
Today, as usual, the old fish head with no business was lying there enjoying the afternoon sun, everyone was used to his negative way of doing business, and it didn't feel so incredible.
But just when everyone thought it was going to go on until the end of the afternoon, and then the next day. The old fish's head suddenly sat up with a spirit, and the protruding dead fish eyes stared in a certain direction of Changti.
Regarding the abnormal reaction of the old fish head, the surrounding stall owners were a little strange, and they didn't understand how this old man who was waiting for death suddenly reacted like this. also looked at the old fish head's gaze.
After a while, three out of place figures appeared in the corridor of Changti.
Saying that they are out of place is because of their atmosphere, all three of them are wearing trench coats and hoods on their heads, and the shadows cover most of their faces, making it impossible to see their faces. These three people are in a hurry, and the casual pedestrians who come to walk and browse the stalls around form two different worlds.
When the three of them passed near the old fishhead stall, they seemed to notice that the eyes of the people here were looking at them, and they couldn't help but speed up their pace.
At the moment when they passed by the old fish head stall, the old fish head's dead fish eyes suddenly narrowed, and he slowly lay down on the chaise longue again, and at the same time said a sentence in a somewhat hoarse and ugly voice: "The gentleman is not happy with the girl, the fireworks are like blood and red pills, and the ghost is not good for the teacher, and it is difficult for the black yarn to protect the crown." ”
The stall owners were all curious when they saw that the old fish head had changed his normal way of waiting for business, and today he actually took the initiative to attract customers. They all widened their eyes and pricked up their ears to see how the three of them would react.
The three people didn't react when the old fish head began to speak, and they still looked hurried. But when the old fish head said the last sentence, "It is difficult to protect the black yarn and rush to the crown", the body of the three people suddenly trembled violently, and his body also stopped there, but the companion behind him slammed into him, grabbed his arm and continued to walk forward.
Soon, the three men disappeared into Changti Stall.
For the abnormality of the old fish head, those stall owners were curious, and the stall owner next to the old fish head asked directly: "Eh, I said the old fish head, those three people just now have a problem?" What do you mean by that? ”
The old fish head glanced at the stall owner, and a classic line popped out of his mouth: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
When the stall owners heard the words of the old fish head, they understood that the old fish head would not speak, and they also returned to their stalls stupidly, but today there was finally something interesting, and everyone began to speculate about the words of the old fish head, as well as the questions of the three young people.
However, the people who came here to set up a stall had a basic low level of education, and the old fish head spoke like a poem, and they couldn't guess it, and later it became more and more partial nonsense, making fun of each other.
Soon, the sky darkened amid everyone's heated discussion. This is the time for people to go out for a walk after dinner, which is a good time to set up stalls, but those hateful chengguan will come to patrol at this time, so the stall owners have also closed their stalls and prepared to go home.
In the past, Lao Yutou would follow everyone back to his dilapidated rental house in the urban village, but today he just put away his small flag, folded the folding table with a patched tablecloth, and asked a stall owner who lived close to him to help him send him home, while he continued to lie on the recliner, patting it with a big fan, just like an ordinary old man who came out in the evening to enjoy the coolness.
Time passed, people came and went on the side of Changti, and it began to be sparsely populated again, and soon it was the dead of night, the old fish head was still lying on the chaise longue, but the pu fan in his hand was no longer fanned, and it seemed to be asleep on his body.
In the middle of the night, except for those couples who secretly came out to find excitement, there are not many people in sight. And most of those couples hide in the green belts that have been turned into rainforest areas because no one cares about them.
In the silence of midnight, the three figures hurried, and then the shadows of the trees, quickly leaned towards the old fish's head, and soon had reached the edge of his chaise long.
"Hey! Geezer! Wake up! One of the three men shouted in a low voice towards the old fish's head. But the old fish's head was still motionless as if he was asleep.
"Hey! Call you! Do you hear that? The other man went up and kicked the old fishhead's chaise longue. The old fish's head still didn't move.
"Don't be like this, old man, listen to your words in the afternoon to break my situation, I must be a person with real skills, and please save Xiaosheng, there will be a heavy reward." The leader grabbed the two subordinates who went up and shouted, and said respectfully to the old fish head.
The old fish head stretched as if he had just woken up, and opened one eye, "Yes, this is the attitude of begging people." ”
"You!" The two subordinates wanted to rush forward again, but the leader quickly grabbed him and apologized to the old fish head again and again.
"Well, it's not all bad, at least now you know the consequences of impulsiveness." The old fish head got up from the chair, pointed to his chaise longue with his chin, and said to the person who kicked him in the chaise longue just now: "Oh, take it." Follow me. ”
The old fish head said, regardless of the fact that the subordinate was so angry that he was smoking, and strode in the direction away from Changti.
The three men hurriedly followed, and at the signal of the leader of the man, the subordinate reluctantly lifted the chaise longue and followed.
The three of them may have been a little distrustful of this weak old man just now, but they have completely changed their attitude at this time. Because the old fish head looked light and light, it actually jumped out seven or eight meters at once, and the three of them spread their feet behind and ran desperately, so they didn't let the old man throw it off. But they ran after the old man for a while, and now they stopped and had no idea where they were, anyway, it was an ordinary alley.
"This way." The old fish beckoned to the three men, and opened the door without blushing and breathlessly, and walked into a low, old wooden door.
The three people looked at the old man who looked like a fairy, their hearts were shocked, and they looked at the room that the old man entered, nervous and a little excited, and with a nervous mood, they still followed, bent down and walked into the room that looked like it was used to stack cleaning supplies.
This room is only about ten square meters, which can be surprisingly clean, and the furnishings can even be said to be luxurious.
The room has no windows, and the walls around it are covered with famous paintings and calligraphy by unknown masters, and there are spotlights shining overhead, making it look extremely noble. There are four display tables in the four corners of the room, on which blue and white porcelain bowls, Tang Dynasty vases, bronze masks, and a jade Ruyi of unknown dynasty are displayed on them.
On the ceiling in the center of the room, a large crystal chandelier hangs down, making this small space shine like a dance hall. On the floor, there is a super thick carpet intertwined with gold and red, a set of tassel sofas in the style of a European court are placed upright, and four cups of hot tea have been placed on the beautiful coffee table that matches the sofa.
At this time, the old fish head was sitting on the single sofa, taking a sip of his cup of hot tea, completely looking like a master!
Seeing the old fish head like this, the three people no longer dared to be disrespectful to him, and carefully sat down on the sofa, very nervous.
The old fish head didn't speak, just sipping tea.
The aroma of tea is pervasive, exuding a fresh and pleasant taste. Those who know the goods can know that this is the best Ming Qian tea when they smell it, which is refreshing. Tea is good tea, but people don't have a fresh mood to taste it.
The leisurely nature of the old fishhead had obviously put pressure on the young men, one of whom had begun to wipe his sweat incessantly, and the other had begun to tug at his sleeve. Only the leader remained silent, and although he could see some nervousness, he could still maintain his composure.
The room was strangely divided into two very different atmospheres, half of which was light and breezy, and half of which was like facing a great enemy.
Finally, it was the one who led the way that couldn't help it first. He lifted his hands as white as a woman's and slowly removed the hood from his head.
Officer White's face was as pale as his name, with a hint of horror on his face, but more of a suspicion.
Officer Bai, who calmed down, didn't seem to have the madness of shooting indiscriminately in the morning. He knew that his situation was very bad now, as a criminal policeman, he actually injured people with a gun, and he was still in such a public.
It was his colleague who was injured, and what was even more terrible was that the colleague's father had a similar status to his father, if he was pulled off the horse because of this incident, then he would be the sinner of the entire family, and it was estimated that no one would come to prison to fish him at that time.
Originally, he thought that he was going to start his life as a fugitive from now on, but he had already considered how to smuggle out of the country through the border of Yun Province, and if it went well, he would find a place where no one knew him for the rest of his life.
But when he passed by Heti today, the words of the fortune teller old man made a glimmer of hope appear in his desperate eyes.
