Chapter 042: Uncle Qin, the porter

When he was a child, Hu Badao could not only see ghosts, but also see the smoke of life on other people's heads. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that this smoke of life is a little different from ghosts after all.

Ghosts are real, and they don't cease to exist just because you turn a blind eye.

But the smoke of life is different, only when Hu Badao looks intently, can you see the smoke of life floating on the door of people's heads.

When Hu Badao doesn't want to see the smoke of life, he only needs to distract his attention and not look at the smoke of life so deliberately, so he will naturally not see it.

Otherwise, after so many years, seeing the smoke of life floating on everyone's heads every day, even normal people will become a little abnormal.

As soon as Hu Badao looked at it so intently, the smoke of life in front of Uncle Qin's forehead floated up.

Three-inch-long life smoke, windless automatic.

Underneath is a dead air as black as ink, and above the head is a touch of life like light rice soup, the color is pale and white.

It's just that a cursory look at it shows that the proportion of this anger is about half of it.

In other words, Uncle Qin's life has probably passed ninety and five, and when converted, it is only more than three years of life.

In this era, the retirement age is sixty years old, and Uncle Qin's lifespan is only sixty-five, which is a bit of a drag on the motherland.

Looking at Uncle Qin's life, there is not much sickness, but there are three years left in his life, and Hu Badao doesn't know what's going on, so it can only be attributed to Uncle Qin's overworked in his early years.

Just like some people, young people don't know how to take care of their bodies, and they work to the death, and their bodies will not work when they are old.

In ancient times, there were not a few people who were tired of life and died. In Hu Badao's heart, he has already attributed Uncle Qin's lifespan to this.

Retracting his gaze at Uncle Qin, Hu Badao coughed lightly twice.

Not only Uncle Qin, but even Master Xu and the surrounding audience all looked at Hu Badao with a blank look.

Hu Badao sighed leisurely.

Uncle Qin's heart rose to his throat, and sweat began to break out on his head, this feeling of waiting for others to announce his life expectancy was really not something that ordinary people could imagine.

Stretching out his right hand, retracting his thumb and little finger in the palm of his hand, Hu Badao made a three-dimensional gesture: "I can live for so many years." ”

Uncle Qin breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his head, and said happily: "I can live for thirty years!" That's nice! ”

Uncle Qin felt that his body was very good, what a good thing to eat, Hu Badao's gesture, it would definitely not be three years, except for three years, wouldn't it be thirty years?

Next to him, Master Xu also breathed a sigh of relief, he was most afraid of Hu Badao's stunned youth, saying something like "you will die within three days", "go home and prepare a coffin".

First, if you say such unpleasant things, it is easy to be beaten, and if you meet a little grumpy, you may be able to teach Hu Badao to be a man in minutes; Second, it is easy to verify that the time is short.

Thirty years now, after 30 years, who will remember this? Besides, an old man in his sixties, even if he dies thirty years later, it is still a joy and mourning!

It seems that this bearded boy is still quite good! I had the style I had back then! Master Xu's eyes were full of appreciation when he looked at Hu Badao.

It's just that the crowd of onlookers doesn't think so, thirty years is a bit too long for them, so far away that some of them won't live for thirty years at all.

So listening to Hu Badao say this, the whispering of discussion gradually began to spread.

"Thirty years?"

"Unlikely, right?"

"Can one see thirty years later?"

"That's too fake, isn't it?"

……

Ignoring these gradually ringing discussions, Hu Badao pursed his lips: "Uncle Qin, who told you that you can live for thirty years?" ”

Uncle Qin was stunned, the smile on his face froze, and he was a little confused for a while, what does this kid mean?

"Uncle Qin, enjoy life." Hu Badao put on a heavy expression and patted Uncle Qin's shoulder: "There are still three years to go, if you want to eat anything or where you want to go, you can plan it well." ”

Uncle Qin's throat was a little dry, he swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and squeezed out a dry smile: "Brother Hu, you are joking, just ...... Open...... Yes...... Some, right? ”

Seeing such a divine turn, the discussion that had just abruptly stopped.

A pair of big eyes fell on Hu Badao's body, waiting for Hu Badao's explanation.

It can be said that there are no longer a few people born in the same year and month as Uncle Qin, and it can even be said that there are so many baby boys born at the same time as Uncle Qin.

However, Hu Badao simply asked about the eight characters of his birthday, and said that this Uncle Qin will die in three years, which is a little too hasty.

If it were replaced by another person who was born on the same day, the same month, and the same year at the same time, would Hu Badao still give people a life span of three years based on just eight characters?

"No kidding, believe it or not." Hu Badao looked indifferent: "Actually, three years is a lot, as long as it is not unlucky to encounter a car accident or something, at least you can live for three years." If you take proper care and take care of your body, you may be able to live an extra year or two. ”

Uncle Qin's lungs were about to explode, his face turned red, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice: "Little Brother Hu, tell me, how did you get these three years?" ”

That look, obviously if Hu Badao can't say one, two, three, Uncle Qin will definitely smash Hu Badao's field.

A group of spectators also pricked up their ears.

"Secret Method." Hu Badao said with a smile.

"What secret method?" Uncle Qin asked persistently, with the momentum of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

"......" Hu Badao smiled and did not answer.

Secret method, secret method, method that can be announced to the public, can it still be called secret method?

"If you can't make sense, give me back my money! You can't be cheated like that! Uncle Qin's eyebrows were about to be raised, and he practiced a big killing move, and then shouted at the crowd: "You say, right? ”

The previous sentence was said to Hu Badao; The latter sentence was naturally said to the melon-eating crowd in the onlookers.

"Yes!"

"If you can't say it, return the money!"

For the onlookers, the bigger the liveliness, the better, and those who watch the excitement are not afraid of big things.

Hu Badao felt that his wallet was tight, and the hundred oceans that had already fallen into his pocket had a faint tendency to fly away.

Can this be endured?

Can a boiled duck still make it fly?

Foolish humans, you know how to make a fuss! Is it easy for me to earn this hundred dollars? Hu Badao's heart was filled with a faint sadness, and after all, he was still reluctant to get the hundred oceans.

After all, poor!

Hu Badaopi didn't smile, coughed dryly twice, glanced at the crowd, and the crowd who was very happy just now quieted down.

"Since ancient times, experienced doctors have been able to determine in advance that some patients are terminally ill" Hu Badao started from some aspects that the masses like to see: "What does Chinese medicine rely on? It's nothing more than looking and hearing. Look at the complexion, listen to the sounds, ask about the symptoms, and identify the pulse. Sometimes, it is possible to determine whether a person is terminally ill or not from this information. ”

Around, many people nodded in agreement, this kind of story has been staged on TV a lot.

"Let's take Uncle Qin to say, my method of determining lifespan is to calculate the lifespan by observing Uncle Qin's complexion, qi and blood state, and after complex calculations. That's why I just said that if Uncle Qin pays attention to health preservation, maybe he can live for a year or two longer. Hu Badao began to talk nonsense, how can you tell others about such a thing as life?

Many people nodded in agreement, Li, it is indeed this Li'er.

However, there are also many people who find thorns, especially those who are confident in receiving a materialist education, and they are even more noisy.

"Little Brother Hu, tell me, what do you think of this blood and complexion?"

"Yes, how do you calculate life based on complexion?"

"Hu ......"

Hu Badao is a little depressed, can I tell you that estimation is simply doing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division? Add and subtract to get the current age, multiply and divide to get the remaining years?

"That's right! Brother Hu! Tell me about it! With so many people raising his voice, Uncle Qin's courage also grew: "Those who do what we do, they also know the rules, and my old Qin doesn't ask about secret methods or anything, but you can at least give a reason, so that even if I die, I will die willingly." ”

A sentence of willingness to die suddenly caused bursts of laughter.

Immediately, dozens of pairs of eyes fell on Hu Badao again, some questioning, some curious, and some disdainful......

"Actually, I'm weird too." Hu Badao shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, life smoke is not omnipotent, and he won't give detailed information, can he know a yarn?

It stands to reason that a person like Uncle Qin, who is alive and well, who comes out to set up a stall every day, and who can brag and calculate others, does not look like a person with a thin fate on the surface.

However, the angry color in the life smoke clearly shows that Uncle Qin is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, and his body bones are actually quite poor.

If it weren't for the lack of sickness, Uncle Qin would be like a person who was riddled with serious illnesses.

"What's strange, tell me about it." Uncle Qin was a little unwilling.

"Uncle Qin, first of all, this lifespan of about three years is not something I said nonsense. Don't think I'm joking or grandstanding. Hu Badao stared at Uncle Qin and explained seriously: "Just like you said yesterday, most of you want to hear an auspicious word. If you think about it, if I do that, it won't do me any good, right? You say, is that reasonable? ”

Not only Uncle Qin nodded, but even the onlookers also recognized this reason.

There are some words that everyone can tell if they are good or bad.

However, it was useless, and these were not enough to prove the three-year life span in Hu Badao's mouth, so a group of people looked at Hu Badao and waited for Hu Badao to continue.

Actually, it's still somewhat useful.

At least Hu Badao said so, the originally low-pitched discussion is really gone this time.

Very satisfied with the current atmosphere, Hu Badao nodded slightly, waved his hand and said: "I don't know too much about the specific reason, anyway, I look at it this way, Uncle Qin is not seriously ill now, looking at the hard bones of his body, in fact, his body has been seriously injured, so I said that Uncle Qin has three years to live." ”

Life smoke can't provide more information, and Hu Badao doesn't understand the set of traditional Chinese medicine, so he didn't dare to say what qi deficiency, blood deficiency, qi and blood loss or something, in case an old Chinese medicine doctor slapped his face, the picture was a little too beautiful.

Therefore, Hu Badao directly replaced it with a big injury to his vitality.

After speaking, Hu Badao stared at Uncle Qin seriously: "Uncle Qin, you honestly give me a bottom, are you born with weak bones?" Or have you had a serious illness before? Or did you not pay attention to your body when you were young, and you hurt your body and bones? Or is there something else that is overworked, otherwise the vitality would not have hurt so badly? ”

"There is one to say one, and there is two to say two. If you don't have these things, I will return the hundred yuan to you today, and I will see for myself in three years. Hu Badao's voice is loud and sound, and it gives people a sense of trustworthiness.

Listening to Hu Badao's words, he remembered some things in the past, and Uncle Qin's face changed suddenly.

When Uncle Qin was born, he was in good health, he had not suffered from any serious illness, and when he was young, he worked like everyone else, so naturally he would not hurt his body...... Even, Uncle Qin's body is much stronger than his peers.

However, since he became a porter in college, although those two years were the most memorable two years in Uncle Qin's life, the two years of indescribable labor were too laborious.

In the past, Uncle Qin didn't care too much, but now after hearing Hu Badao say this, Uncle Qin felt that maybe it was in those two years that his body and bones were broken.

Thinking back again, after quitting his job as a concierge, Uncle Qin sometimes had a little lack of energy, and the whole person aged quickly, originally thinking that this was retirement syndrome. Now that I think about it, it seems to be much more serious than retirement syndrome.

Looking at the red hundred oceans that Hu Badao held in his hand, Uncle Qin swallowed his saliva. It's hard to be cheeky and take it.

"If you recuperate, can you really live two more years?" Uncle Qin already had some faith, swallowed his saliva, and asked in a somewhat astringent voice.

The crowd of onlookers, one by one, their eyes widened wider than the other, and their eyes shifted back and forth on Uncle Qin and Hu Badao, this Uncle Qin, it seems that there is really a situation!

People always hope that they will live a long life and live forever.

But one day, when you know the approximate time of your death, let alone three years, even if it's ten years, even twenty years, there will always be a sense of urgency and even fear in your heart.

"Find a doctor, recuperate, live happily, maybe you can live an extra year or two." Hu Badao patted Uncle Qin's shoulder and said with relief.

Of course, there is a limit to the time of this extra life.

For example, a cancer patient with an incurable disease could only live for one year, but after various advanced treatments, although the disease was not cured, he lived for half a year longer; However, the foundation of this body is there, and it is impossible to expect this cancer patient to live for more than ten or twenty years.

This is the ceiling effect.

Uncle Qin stood aside with some heartache, feeling quite lonely and desolate. However, Uncle Qin did not leave, he was not sure if Hu Badao was fooling him or if he was a person who really had the ability.

Seeing that Uncle Qin didn't mean to leave with a hundred yuan, Hu Badao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that Uncle Qin would be shameless and ask for the hundred yuan back.

Now, feeling the suspicious gaze of everyone falling on him, Hu Badao coughed twice, looking unfathomable: "It takes too much effort to calculate the life expectancy, I can probably take five orders of business today, is there anyone else?" ”

A group of people looked at each other, but no one came forward.

In the crowd, the young man bit his lip and hesitated.

"None? If not, I'll go back! Hu Badao's eyes wandered around the crowd, did anyone say it, I still have something to do this time!

Seeing that it had been two or three minutes, and no one had spoken up, Hu Badao pouted: "Since that's the case, I'll leave......"

The young man clasped his hands, looked at the face that was more immature than himself, and didn't know for a moment whether he should stand up or not.

At this moment, a timid voice sounded: "Uncle, can you help me take a look?" ”
