Chapter 10: Reluctance

At that time, Liu Blind was famous, not only in this city, but also in nearby counties and cities, people would rush here to ask for help, because there were too many people, queuing was inevitable. It is said that on the most exaggerated day, the queue went from Liu's blind man's house to the pedestrian street, and the longest person waited for seven days before it was his turn.

With so many people coming and going, this humble alley service industry also developed, and it was lined with hotels, restaurants, and all kinds of wreath shops, incense and candle shops, and fortune tellers who helped people ward off evil spirits.

Helping people exorcise evil spirits at the door of Liu's blind house, will fortune telling still have business? Of course, there is no shortage of patients in tertiary hospitals, and small clinics also have their own business. Those who are always not in line, if the affairs at home are not in a hurry, these people will pinch on the side, and then set up a gambling curse of "no money", if they can't keep it, there will be a deal, and it's no problem to rub some soup and drink with Liu Blind.

After coming and going, a "superstitious" street was formed here, and there were all kinds of stalls on both sides, exorcising evil spirits, looking at the face, touching the bones, looking at feng shui, everything, although Liu Blind was no longer there, these people still held this position.

Ding Xiaocong was walking in the alley, and from time to time there were old men and old ladies licking their faces and soliciting customers.

"Isn't the lad a fortune teller? If you don't want money! An old lady said with a smile, Ding Xiaocong quickly shook his head, according to Professor Mi, fortune-telling is extremely difficult to master, and it also depends on talent, no matter how talented people learn, most of the so-called fortune-telling is pure deception.

However, things are not absolute, Professor Mi really has a person who can see the future, but every time he calculates, he will consume a lot of life force, and after a few calculations, he will return to the West......

The old lady who had just rejected the fortune teller suddenly heard a cry behind her: "It's not good, you're in trouble!" ”

This roar was full of anger, like thunder on the ground, and Ding Xiaocong was almost paralyzed on the ground in fright. Looking back, a middle-aged man with a red face was looking at him solemnly, as if he was facing a great enemy.

What is wrong with Ding Xiaocong? It can't be a robbery! I only have five dollars on me......

Seeing the sound, he stopped this half-grown child, and the red-faced man was proud in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed Ding Xiaocong's hand and pulled it to the side, and whispered: "I see that your Yin Hall is dark, and the dark clouds cover the top, you must be haunted by evil spirits, and if you don't get rid of it, your life will not be guaranteed!" ”

"You can pull it down!" Ding Xiaocong broke the man's hand and breathed a sigh of relief, it's good that it's not a robbery, as for the things that are being pulled, it's all nonsense.

Seeing Ding Xiaocong's face full of disbelief, the red-faced man stiffened his neck and said, "Young man, the poor road is under the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and this trip down the mountain is specially for you!" ”

"Why are you so nice to me?" Ding Xiaocong teased him with words, and said in his heart that Zhang Tianshi will accept you as an apprentice? It seems that the world-famous Zhang Tianshi has a problem with his eyes.

The red-faced man smiled awkwardly, "Let's have a fate, huh...... Destined! ”

The two of them were attacking and defending hard, and a weak voice came from the side, "This master, can you really exorcise evil spirits?" ”

Ding Xiaocong turned his head to look, and it was a middle-aged woman who spoke, thin, wearing a floral shirt, with a dark complexion, and she hurriedly smiled in the face of the eyes of the two.

At first glance, she was an ordinary peasant woman, and the red-faced man immediately lost interest and continued to fool Ding Xiaocong, "The child is not sensible, I don't blame you, in this way, where are your parents?" I went and told them that they knew what was important. ”

Ding Xiaocong is a little impatient, I'm still hungry, and I don't have time to talk nonsense with you.

Just as Ding Xiaocong turned around and was about to leave, the peasant woman said weakly: "Sir, can you really exorcise evil spirits?" My daughter has a problem, if you fix her, I'll give it to you...... 1000 pieces! ”

The man who was originally going to continue to attack Ding Xiaocong suddenly stood still and turned back.

Ding Xiaocong's body tightened, and he also turned his head.

Both pairs of eyes stared at the woman at the same time.

"Tell me about your daughter." The red-faced man immediately threw down Ding Xiaocong and walked up to the woman, his eyes glowing green.

Ding Xiaocong also came over at this time, waiting for the woman's next step.

A full 1000 pieces! If it is returned to himself, the tuition fee will not be much worse, and Ding Xiaocong can't resist the temptation of this "huge amount" at all. Isn't it just to exorcise evil spirits? I've never practiced it myself, but we'll know that, so it's a big deal to try it a few more times.

The red-faced man felt Ding Xiaocong's wolf-like gaze and glared at him, but this was obviously useless, and Ding Xiaocong didn't pay attention to him at all.

"Tsk, adults talk, children don't listen, go aside!" Seeing that he couldn't scare people away, Dahan simply drove people away.

Ding Xiaocong rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Aren't you going to exorcise evil spirits for me?" I'll lead you to my parents. ”

The red-faced man was so annoyed that he waved Ding Xiaocong's "claws", blew on his face, and said viciously: "Okay, your evil has been removed, go home and play." ”

Ding Xiaocong was simply stunned by his shamelessness, but with the temptation of 1,000 yuan in front of him, he completely forgot to be afraid, and "hummed" and didn't leave.

The woman seemed anxious and said, "My daughter went to the dam a week ago, came back with a fever, and then started talking nonsense all day long, and she didn't even know me as a mother...... I really had no choice, so I came to the city to find Liu Blind, but I didn't expect him to be gone, so I ......"

"Leave this on me!" Without waiting for the woman to finish speaking, the red-faced man slapped his chest loudly, "I promise that I will be caught, and I don't need money if I am not good." ”

"Hey!" The woman was overjoyed, the other party made such a guarantee, in her mind, she must have real ability, and her daughter was saved.

In fact, she doesn't know that the so-called "don't want money if you don't work" often asks for your money in the end. There are not many mages who have real skills, but everyone can flicker, and flickering is a hard skill.

"Sister-in-law, how did you get here?" When the red-faced man saw that the matter was done, he was in a good mood and asked with a smile.

The woman said, "I came by bus, and I had to change three times, and I was born with motion sickness, but I have sinned." ”

"Gotta get it, I'll ride you there, you show the way." The red-faced man said generously, and the two talked all the way to the direction of the pedestrian street.

Ding Xiaocong was unwilling, this is a full 1,000 yuan! It was snatched away like this...... In the final analysis, I still blame myself for not fooling.

Ding Xiaocong can't be blamed for this matter, he is still young after all, and this kind of thing is related to experience, he doesn't have that heat, and he can't learn it. Moreover, the woman had not looked at him from beginning to end, and obviously would not trust him as a boy.

Looking at the two of them who were getting farther and farther away, Ding Xiaocong had no choice but to prepare to continue looking for a job according to the original plan. As soon as he turned around, he thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he chased after the two of them.

He thought that the man didn't seem to have any ability, if he didn't "fix" the girl, wouldn't he still have a chance to continue the rectification?
