Chapter 19: The Fortune Teller
"Hey! Hey! Little girl, don't be impulsive, if you have something to say, it will kill you if you do it like this. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" The man in black was lying on his side on the ground, his body involuntarily retreating, pleading with Summer with a painful expression on his face.
But Summer didn't pay attention to it, and a steel pipe in his hand that he didn't know where to find was dragged on the ground, making a "squeak" squeak, and he opened his slender calves and approached it step by step.
This move frightened the man in black, immediately got up desperately from the ground, turned around and fled, just a few steps through the middle of the road, a large mud trailer galloped at the fork in front, because the speed was really amazingly fast, it happened to hit the man in black, the man disappeared in an instant, only saw a trail of blood more than ten meters long on the street, but at this time, the truck still did not stop.
At this time, He Weicai slowly stood up from the ground in a daze, subconsciously looked around left and right, and did not find a single figure. Aside from a trail of dust on the streets, nothing unusual was noted.
He Wei walked to the gate of the cemetery, picked up the black sealed box that he had dropped before, opened it again and took a closer look, it was indeed filled with dark coins. This made He Wei feel extremely strange, because when he opened the box in the villa before, it was obviously filled with brand-new banknotes.
At this time, Xia suddenly appeared beside He Wei and said to him with a smile: "Little brother, I have already helped you get the bad guy who bullied you before, you don't have to worry about it." ā
But He Wei didn't care about Xia's words, but asked: "Sister Xiaoxia, come and see, why did the money in this box suddenly turn into a dark coin, wasn't it cash in the villa before, you should have seen it." ā
"What is contained in this is originally a dark coin, don't you know that you were not in the villa before, but in a tomb, and the private car you saw was not a car at all, but a black coffin, and you took away a large amount of dark coins stored in it, have you forgotten?"
When He Wei heard this, he immediately suddenly realized, a trace of cold sweat unconsciously appeared on his forehead, he hesitated for a long time, and he couldn't say half a sentence in his mouth, and after the situation was deadlocked for several minutes, He Wei slowly replied: "Why didn't you tell me before, I was deceived by that woman so miserably." ā
"I really want to tell you, but you were only thinking about the money at the time, and you didn't pay attention to me with a face that was obsessed with money, what can I do." Summer suddenly got a little angry, and when she turned around, she didn't look at He Wei.
"By the way, what about the man in black? Why didn't I see him any more? Where did he go? While He Wei said this, his eyes kept sweeping around, only to see a red blood stain on the street.
Summer didn't speak, dragging a dead fish face and pointing to the fork in the road ahead. At the same time, He Wei also saw the intersection, only to find that the man before had already been lying on the road with bloody flesh and blood, covered in scaly wounds, and rotten meat sauce everywhere in the middle of the road.
When He Wei saw this scene, he suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach, and couldn't help but vomit the disgusting liquid in his stomach on the ground, and his legs were almost numb.
"Little brother, it's almost dawn, I'm leaving, and I'll come to play with you when it's dark." Summer said, pulling out a small whistle from her pocket and telling He Wei that if she misses her, blow it immediately, and she will immediately appear in front of He Wei's eyes.
Before He Wei could take another sentence, Summer turned into a transparent object and disappeared into the air. At this time, more than a dozen men in black rushed out of the gate of the cemetery, with fierce and vicious faces, and roared loudly: "It's that stinky boy, hurry up and catch him for me." ā
Seeing that the situation was not right, He Wei turned around and fled, but as soon as he ran for a short circuit, he was caught up by the black-clothed young men who were chasing after him and controlled him. One of the young men, with a red bow tied around his neck, walked out of the crowd and yelled at He Wei: "Stinky boy, where are you going, where is the money?" Brought? ā
He Wei immediately said anxiously: "Brought, brought, it's in that black box, don't believe it, you open it and take a look." ā
The bow young man held on for a while, and half-convinced opened the black sealed box that He Weise gave him, and at the moment when the box was opened, the bow young man's eyes lit up, his tongue was about to fall out, swallowed his saliva, immediately covered the box, and yelled at He Wei menacingly: "Stinky boy, it's not bad, it's very trustworthy, okay, I'll let you go this time, you can see your family tomorrow." ā
When He Wei heard the butterfly man's words, his face was full of doubts, and he asked in surprise: "Big ...... Big brother, do you see the money? ā
The butterfly man didn't reply, just smiled, waved his hand lightly, and all the black-clothed men around him let go of He Wei one after another, turned around and walked towards the gate of the cemetery one by one.
At this time, He Wei suddenly remembered a very important thing in his heart, but he didn't know whether he should say this sentence or not, once he said it, he was afraid that it would make the butterfly man extremely angry, and he would not be able to see his family at that time.
He Wei hesitated for a while, never said that sentence, watching those men slowly disappear from front of him, he was also relieved, and turned around and walked step by step in the direction of home.
When he came to the kitchen, he found that the head that fell on the ground before was not a real head, but a high-fidelity prop, which felt exactly like a real human head, and his hair was dyed with bright red blood.
He Wei threw the head directly into the trash can, cleaned the blood stains on the floor, and then returned to the sofa and lay on it with his eyes closed.
When He Wei woke up, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him, that was Shen Basket, the white-haired man cast his affectionate gaze on his face, and his eyes were full of layers of thin tears.
"Mom, you're back, they didn't embarrass you, nothing happened last night." He Wei rubbed up from the sofa and couldn't help but ask suddenly.
Shen Basket said while crying: "Mom is fine, your dad is okay, I just don't know where your sister has gone, and I can't find her anywhere." ā
"No, wasn't she still at home the day before yesterday, wasn't she with you?" He Wei sat on the sofa in the living room, his eyes kept looking around, except for the yellowish braised egg sitting aside, he didn't see the figure of spring.
At this time, the braised egg, who was sitting on the side and was silent, suddenly said: "You little rabbit cub, where did you get so much money, did you steal it?" ā
He Wei only remembered at this time that the cash in the black sealed box yesterday, and he didn't know what the butterfly man had seen, which caused him to be so excited, and he didn't embarrass his family. Could it be that the box really contained banknotes instead of dark coins, maybe He Wei was wrong yesterday, when he thought of this, the more He Wei thought about it, the more confused he felt in his heart, and then looked up at the boiled egg in front of him, and said: "Oh, Dad, I bought the money in the lottery yesterday." ā
"Phew! You stinky boy, you've been thinking about it for so long, just give me such an answer? The braised egg's face suddenly became a little stiff, as if he didn't believe He Wei's words at all, where could there be such a good thing, hundreds of thousands of banknotes were hit, and they were won so accidentally.
Then, Lu Dan continued to ask: "You tell Dad the truth, where did the money come from, Dad will never blame you, if it wasn't for your appearance last night, we wouldn't be alive today." ā
He Wei was suddenly stunned, because he didn't know how to explain to the boiled egg at this time to convince him, if the money was earned by exorcising demons, it would be impossible for ordinary people to believe it at all, let alone that the boiled egg didn't believe it, even he wouldn't believe it.
After hesitating for a long time, He Weicai reluctantly replied: "Dad, in fact, this money is ......"
As soon as He Wei was halfway through speaking, Shen Basket, who was sitting on the side, immediately replied: "You are an old immortal, why are you asking so much, aren't we okay now, even if the source of that money is unknown, at least it saved our family's life, and we can just return it in the future." ā
Speaking of this, He Wei looked at Shen Basket, his emotions suddenly became a little excited, and he suddenly interrupted his words and asked, "Mom, why does our family owe so much money, what is the reason for it?" ā
"Hey, for so many years, isn't it because of your illness, you have been lying in the hospital for so many years, plus the living expenses of the family, your father went around borrowing money and owed a lot of debts, and the 300,000 arrears are just a drop in the bucket, in addition to those money, our family also owes a lot of money to relatives and friends, and the sum of the front and back is more than 300,000."
Shen Danzi took a deep breath and continued: "Xiaowei, the family will have to rely on you in the future, you are an adult now, don't be as ignorant as you were at the beginning, don't fool around with those indiscriminate people all day long, find a job well, go to work in a down-to-earth manner, better than anything else." ā
After He Wei heard this, he immediately nodded and replied: "Mom, don't worry, I will try my best to repay the money that our family owes, and I now have a very powerful Taoist technique, in the future, we can tell fortunes for others to make money and open a ghost hunting store." ā
"Ghost hunting store? Xiao Wei, we can't do these deceptive things, and this kind of money is not steady. Shen Basket suddenly began to object, although she herself is very superstitious about ghosts and gods, but if there are people around her to get that kind of fortune telling and feng shui industry, she will not hesitate to think that it is defrauding other people's money.
Not only that, but the boiled egg sitting on the sofa next to him was also strongly opposed, not allowing He Wei to open any ghost hunting store, thinking that it was just a deceptive means, using rhetoric to make others believe in their fate.
The boiled egg glanced at He Wei, and said in a very heavy tone: "Stinky boy, if you want to go to work, you can go to Lao Tzu well, don't spend all day and night thinking about those crooked things, is that money earned by you?" Do you have that eloquence? Don't be whimsical and honestly go find a stable job. ā
Despite his family's strong opposition, He Wei never listened, and he only seemed willing to believe the facts that made him acceptable. Although He Wei promised not to do it, but in the evening, he quietly found a piece of white cloth and wrote four big black characters on it with a brush, "Exorcism and Exorcism".
On the morning of the next day, He Wei took this signboard, carried a small wooden stool, walked out of the house, and walked swaggering down the street, the posture was very similar to that of the fortune teller.
He walked under a white stone bridge and sat in one of the prominent corners, waiting for a client to come to him for help, and having his first experience of catching ghosts, he thought that the money would come the fastest and the easiest.
Unexpectedly, not far from He Wei's surroundings, there were also rows of fortune tellers and feng shui watchers, almost all of whom had a small wooden table in front of them, and there were all kinds of charms on the table, all of whom looked older than him, most of them were fifty or sixty years old.
He Wei sat on the bridge for a whole morning, and no one came to greet him, and those fortune tellers near him, from time to time, some people went to them to tell fortunes, but the money they gave was not much, only three or five yuan, and sometimes the person was unhappy and was not willing to give a penny.
He Wei thought that those people had robbed him of his business, so in a fit of anger, he stopped setting up a stall in the same place and ran all the way to another location. It wasn't until he couldn't see the figure of the fortune teller that he stopped, sat in a corner, and continued to erect his signboard to exorcise demons.
At this time, a man riding a tricycle in front of the crossroads, dressed very plainly, walked to He Wei's side after getting off the car, looked at his white signboard, and looked down at He Wei sitting on the wooden bench, and suddenly said in a very heavy voice: "Young man, help me calculate a hexagram." ā
He Wei raised his head to look at the man, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm sorry, uncle, I'm a Taoist priest who specializes in exorcism, and I'm not responsible for fortune telling. ā
The man glanced at He Wei, turned his head to look under He Wei's heels, and found a white plastic bottle, immediately stepped forward, reached out and picked up the bottle, and asked politely: "Hello, young man, do you want this plastic bottle?" ā
He Wei was stunned for a moment, and replied, "Oh, don't, you can take it." ā
"Okay, thank you, young man, you're a good guy." The man picked up the bottle, turned around and returned to his beat-up tricycle, which was filled with bags of dirty garbage cans, started his old-fashioned engine, made a "beep" sound, and in a moment sped off in the other direction.
He Wei was surprised when he saw the man leave suddenly, could it be that he had spent so much effort just to pick up a plastic bottle under his feet.
In the following time, He Wei stayed by the wall for an afternoon, except for passers-by who turned their heads from time to time and glanced at him with strange eyes, no one went to him to exorcise demons, which also caused him to feel very lost.
Until the end of the night, He Wei finally couldn't sit still, put away the small wooden stool and signboard on the ground, and returned home dejectedly.
When he returned home, he was surprised to find that the living room was full of strangers, men and women, and many children staying on the sofa, everyone chatting with each other with a hippie smile.
He Wei stood at the gate for a while, and then took a step and walked into the house gently. At this time, the strangers on the sofa suddenly turned their heads to look at He Wei, and they all smiled and said hello to him.
But He Wei didn't understand what those people were doing at home, and in desperation, he had to lower his scalp and barely let out a stiff smile, saying, "Hehe, hello, hello, may I ask who you are?" ā
At this time, Shen Basket walked out of the kitchen and shouted at He Wei: "Xiao Wei, don't pay attention to them, they all came to the house to eat and drink, and they are shameless one by one." ā
"Hey, how do you talk about this mother-in-law? We don't have anything to eat, so what's wrong with us? Look at your stinginess. One of them, an aunt in her fifties, suddenly stood up from the sofa and roared angrily at Shen Basket.
He Wei suddenly turned his gaze to the unfamiliar faces sitting on the sofa, and suddenly felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it there, especially the somewhat obese aunt, the piercing and sharp voice seemed to have been heard in that place.
He Wei lingered in his heart for a while before he remembered the strange aunt in front of him, and immediately said to her: "Oh, auntie, I know you, aren't you the last time you came to the hospital to visit me, hello, hello, fortunately, fortunately." ā
"Hey, you little melon baby, don't you stuff tofu brain in your stinky mouth, can you speak, do you have a tutor, who do you call aunt? I think you're itchy and underwhelming. The aunt suddenly became extremely emotional, raised her leg and reached out to pull out the pair of slippers on her feet, and threw them straight towards He Wei's face.
Fortunately, He Wei reacted relatively quickly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, because before the faded slippers were thrown over, he smelled a strong smell of tempeh in his nose, which made people feel extremely nauseous, and his intestines were about to vomit.
He Wei immediately spoke: "Okay, eldest sister, I just made a mistake and called the wrong one, don't take it to heart, okay." ā
"Why do you apologize to her, she is so virtuous, she is shameless, she is still a person in her fifties, and she is not shameless at all." Shen Basket scolded the aunt angrily, turned around and walked into the kitchen, without looking directly at the aunt from beginning to end.
In order to regain the lost face before, she deliberately shouted at He Wei: "Hey, little melon baby, come over to the old lady, bow and apologize, otherwise you will die ugly." ā
He Wei was suddenly a little confused, and he didn't figure out what was going on, but seeing that the situation was already embarrassing to such an extent, he had to helplessly bow his head and smile and bow deeply to the angry aunt, and sincerely apologized.
At the same time, the strangers sitting on the sofa didn't pay attention to the aunt's words and deeds at all, and they were all laughing at each other and talking about the aunt's gossip, and even saw a little doll less than three years old, crawling over and over on the sofa.
This made He Wei even more incomprehensible, what are these people here for? Isn't it here to ask for an account? As soon as He Wei thought of this, he didn't go around in circles too much, he went straight to the point, raised his head and asked loudly: "How much money you owe, I will give it all to you." ā
This sentence really had a great effect, and I saw that the group of unfamiliar faces sitting on the sofa stopped talking, and the scene at this time was extremely quiet, and everyone turned their eyes to He Wei who was standing next to the sofa.
The situation was about ten seconds deadlocked, and one of the sissy men finally spoke, and his first words were: "Ouch, little handsome guy, you are so handsome, you speak so neatly, you know what, I adore you." ā
While saying this, the sissy man took out a white note from his pocket, stuffed it to He Wei in front of him, and continued: "This is the baby's IOU, please look at the little handsome guy, if it's convenient, give it to me now." ā
He Wei took the note and looked at it, and was immediately stunned by the words on the note, several of the more conspicuous big characters read: "I received 810,000 yuan in cash from Xiao Pepper today, and I borrowed money on a certain day in a certain year, month, and day: braised eggs." ā
After seeing these black ink, He Wei immediately raised his head to look at the sissy man in front of him, and said in surprise: "How can you owe so much, it's impossible, is it a mistake." ā
"Oh, it can't be wrong, there is your father's handprint on it, if you don't believe it, ask your father." The sissy man's name was Little Pepper, and when he said this, his delicate and lubricated hand slightly cocked his orchid fingers and stroked his forehead.
Little Pepper's hands look very smooth, as if they are maintained every day, and their figure is very good, almost close to the devil's figure, if you just look at the back, you really can't see that it is a man, it is completely a beautiful girl with flowers.
At the same time, He Wei looked down at the red handprint on the IOU, the mark looked very thick, very much like the boiled egg was pressed by himself, and the name was also signed crookedly, not like it was imitated by others.
Seeing this, He Wei suddenly panicked a little cautiously in his heart, swallowed his saliva, looked at every unfamiliar face sitting on the sofa, and suddenly asked: "How many IOUs are there, give them to me, they will all be counted on my head." ā
