The results of the high school entrance examination came out, and the total score of 705 was more than 300, which was still repeated twice in the third year of junior high school.

When my dad saw the results, he was so angry that he picked up a flat pole and wanted to beat me, and chased me for several fields.

I was eighteen years old at the time, long past the age when I could go out and work. Most of the children in the mountains, except for those with excellent grades, have this fate.

After finishing junior high school, I went out to work.

Several of my friends of the same age did not take the high school entrance examination at all, and as soon as the Spring Festival passed, they went out to work with adults.

It's only three things, I've taken the exam three times, and I still haven't passed the test. Even if you repeat it, you won't be able to get into high school. Instead of wasting this time and experience, it is better to go out to work earlier and reduce the burden on the family.

"There is no future in part-time work, so it's better to learn a craft, and I'll find you a master."

I told my dad about the idea of going out to work, but he came to me with this and went out.

It took three days for my dad to come back.

He didn't come back alone, with a sloppy old man named Hanako.

The old man's name is Lu Xiannian, and he is a fortune teller in Longgang Field.

"The school teacher said that fortune-telling is feudal superstition and deception. I'd rather work to earn hard-earned money than be a liar. I said.

"You teachers know what a fart!"

As soon as I heard this, my father's face suddenly darkened. He raised his slap to slap me, but fortunately Lu Xiannian stopped him.

"To educate the baby, you can't rely on beating, you must convince people with reason. The two of you go out first, and I'll talk to him alone. ”

Lu Xiannian sent my parents away, closed the door, and then sat down at the table with a chair just like in his own home.

"Make me a cup of tea, and I'll swing it with you slowly."

"There's no tea for the liar in the house!"

My parents are farmers and have no education, so they will be deceived by this magic stick. I have studied in elementary school for six years and junior high school for five years, and I am knowledgeable and educated, and these feudal superstitions cannot fool me.

"Is there a girl named Wu Xuemei in your village, who is in the same class as you, and she is still very well-behaved?" Lu Xiannian pinched his fingers pretending to be pretentious, and asked, "On the thirteenth of last month, at nine o'clock in the evening, you stayed outside her toilet, did you see something?" ”

As soon as Lu Xian read this and asked, my face became hot and hot when I brushed it.

When I passed by the toilet of Wu Xuemei's house that night, I heard the sound of running water, as if someone was taking a bath in it. I didn't care about it, but suddenly there was a heavenly singing voice that came to my ears.

It's Wu Xuemei's voice, she's singing, and she sings so beautifully.

Wu Xuemei is not only the village flower of our village, but also the school flower of the school, and her grades are also very good, and she often takes the first place in the grade. In this high school entrance examination, she was the champion in the county, and she took more than 690 exams and was admitted to a key high school in Yudu.

She is beautiful, her grades are good, and the boys chasing her line up and can circle our school several times.

Eighteen years old is the throbbing age, and when I think of Wu Xuemei taking a bath in it, my little heart flutters, and I am so excited.

Toilets in rural areas are inevitably a little sparse. Seeing that there was no one around, I put my eyes on the gap and looked inside.

The water mist in the toilet is very large, hazy, although it is not clear to see, but you can see a graceful figure.

I stood there and watched for I don't know how long, until she was done washing and getting dressed, and I ran away in a panic.

"Little liar, go and make me a cup of tea for the old liar, kowtow to the teacher. Otherwise, I'll tell Wu Lao Er what you did that night, and promise that he will pick out your eyeballs when he finds out. ”

When I was reminiscing about the beauty, Lu Xiannian interrupted me very beautifully.

Wu Lao Er is Wu Xuemei's father, who is famous in the village for his violent temper. If he really knows that I peeked at Wu Xuemei taking a bath, even if I don't die, I have to peel off my skin.

"How do you know what happened that night?"

I was a little flustered, and a little scared, afraid that Lu Xiannian would tell me about it.

"Lao Tzu calculated, if you don't believe me, I will continue to calculate it for you. As long as it's all the ugly things you've done, I can figure it out for you, do you believe it or not? Lu Xiannian said with a smile.

I've never been a fuel-efficient lamp, and I've done so many bad things. Peeking at Wu Xuemei taking a bath is enough for me to drink a pot, he has to figure out something, do I still have a way to live?

"Worship you as a teacher, can you promise not to betray me?" I asked.

"A teacher for one day and a father for life, have you ever seen an old man who betrayed his baby?"

After listening to Lu Xiannian's statement, I hurriedly went to make a cup of flower tea. When I was making tea, Lu Xiannian invited my parents into the house and asked me to serve tea in front of my parents.

There is a rule in the countryside that in addition to kneeling with the dead, you can only kneel to your parents.

He knelt down and kowtowed to Lu Xiannian, he is my master. Regardless of whether he has real ability or not, I have to provide for him in his old age and help him to keep filial piety.

Lu Xiannian took me back to Longgang Field, and he was bragging to me all the way. said that as long as he learned his skills well, not only could he eat and drink spicy food, drive a luxury car, and live in a villa, but also a large number of girls who were a hundred times more beautiful than Wu Xuemei would line up to chase me.

I don't know if Lu Xiannian's fortune-telling skills are true or not, but his bragging skills are definitely perfect. Even if he blows all the cows into the sky, he won't blush at all.

Listening to his boastful talk and boasting, I thought he was a good mix.

I didn't know that after arriving at Longgang Field, I was dumbfounded.

There are many two-story small buildings on Longgang Field, and some of them are tiled on the outer walls, which is very magnificent. I originally thought that at least one of these two-story small buildings was Lu Xiannian's.

Full of anticipation, I followed him from the entrance to the end of the field, and finally walked to two earthen walls that were more broken than the village houses.

He pulled out the key and said so.

"That's it?" I was speechless.

"Si is a burrow, but I am Dexin." Lu Xian read a whole sentence of ancient text to prevaricate me.

"Where's the master?" I asked again.

"Lao Tzu is not married, and he has no teacher." Lu Xiannian said.

"Didn't you just say that as long as I learn the skills from you, I can live in a villa and drive a luxury car, and there will be a lot of beautiful girls queuing up to chase me? I thought that you, who were a master, at least gave me a whole two-story building, and at the same time married me what a beautiful master or something, but you ended up so miserable? ”

I'm worried about my future.

"Do you want a two-story small building, whether you want to find a teacher or not, it's Lao Tzu's business, you can manage it widely!" Lu Xiannian threw a yellowed ancient book to me and said, "Memorize it for Lao Tzu before dark, otherwise don't eat." ”

Whether that ancient book is classical Chinese or traditional Chinese characters, I am naturally unable to memorize it because of my poor learning.

Lu Xiannian punished me for not eating, definitely not to urge my study, but because there was no rice to cook.

I went to the kitchen and found that there were only two handfuls of somen noodles and a small half jar of salt. The lid of the vegetable oil barrel is covered with a thick layer of ash, and it looks like it hasn't been screwed for a long time, and as for the inside, there is naturally not a drop of oil.

Half a month has passed, the noodles in the kitchen have been eaten, the salt in the salt shaker has also been eaten, and the days of eating the last meal without the next meal have not been completed, and there is still no business to come to the door.

I estimate that no one will come to Lu Xiannian for fortune telling.

When I go out to work, I can eat a full meal. I followed Lu Xiannian to learn fortune-telling, and I was so poor that I couldn't even afford to eat noodles, and I suddenly had a feeling that I was cheated by my own father.

"I ate a few somen noodles last night, and I haven't eaten for a day today, and my stomach is growling with hunger. Master, you have a lot of ability, why don't you pinch your fingers and do the math, and see where there are fools who can be deceived? Your old man will first cheat a few dollars and buy a handful of noodles to fill his stomach. ”

Lu Xiannian is a master, in addition to being poor, it is still very fun. There is nothing inhibited with him, no one is old or young. However, just because he is so poor, he is probably embarrassed to talk to me about the old and the young.

"Lao Tzu eats by his ability and never deceives people." Lu Xiannian glanced at me and said, "There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." As the saying goes, if you don't have it, you can only do it. ”

I started reciting poetry again.

I have to admit that Lu Xiannian knows a lot of poems, more than our junior high school Chinese teachers. If he were to teach junior high school Chinese, he would definitely be better than our Chinese teacher. It's a pity that a good Chinese teacher has embarked on the crooked path of fortune telling.
