Chapter 5: The Shadowless Lamp
When I heard the old man's words, I suddenly became suspicious in my heart, and asked Uncle Li: "Your old man is too humble, just now we were just passing through, and your old man saw through that I was a powerful ghost, and he also used immortal magic to drag me out of the palace of the king of Hades." With such skills, I'm afraid there are not many people in the world, right? “
When Uncle Li heard this, he waved his hand and said to me, "If I really had such a means to reach the sky, I would have become an immortal in the sky as soon as possible." The fortune teller deduces the good and the bad, either by continuing the deduction results of the ancients, or by his own hearsay, and it is nonsense at all. But this kind of land immortal will never show his face easily, and they are all hidden in the deep mountains, lest they be implicated in too much affection and be thundered by the sky, and it is impossible to set up a stall in the downtown to tell fortunes. “
After Uncle Li finished speaking, he began to feel sorry for himself again: "I miss my old thief, I started teaching at the age of three, leaving the teacher at the age of six, I have been diligent all my life, I have been following the teachings of my ancestors, stealing half of people, taking people's money is unjust, and stealing more is hurting Tianhe, and sooner or later I will be killed, I don't want none of the apprentices to listen to the old thief, not only do I not want to return half of it, but I don't even want to send the bag back after touching the skin, which is clear that I want to cut off my children and grandchildren."
The old thief is angry, but the relationship between one and two has been broken, and Ben Xunsi followed my pony brother to touch a bright weapon that can be used for the rest of his life, and he didn't want to be calculated by his predecessors and end up in this situation. Fortune-telling is also a frequent failure, if it weren't for the vision of the pony brothers to set up a fortune-telling booth here, it is estimated that even survival would be a problem. “
I was stunned when I heard it, I never thought that there was a way to steal, this old man in order to abide by the ancient precepts of his ancestors, he would rather fall into the betrayal of his relatives, helpless, and really worthy of the title of the king of thieves. But since Uncle Li himself said that he doesn't have the ability to reach the sky, how did he find my shadow back? Hurriedly asked, "Then how did Uncle Li expel the cat spirit attached to my shadow?" ”
When Uncle Li heard this, his face was embarrassed, he sighed, and said to me: "For the sake of the same family, the old thief does not hide from the little brother, the old thief has a straight temperament, and he is not born to tell fortunes." It was my pony brother who saw that I was really miserable and gave me a trick to set up a fortune telling stall here. Strange to say, every noon, no matter how people and animals pass by in front of the stall, there will be no shadow, and after a quarter of an hour or so, the shadow will come out on its own.
The old thief first bluffed your shadow to be taken away by the hungry ghost, and then asked you to close your eyes, saying that it was to do a magic thing, in fact, it was just waiting for the shadow to come out by itself, most people saw that the shadow was gone, and the old thief was suspicious and suspicious after a little inquiry, thinking that he was possessed by all kinds of evil demons and hungry ghosts, and obediently obeyed the words of the old thief, and then told this matter not to be quiet, otherwise there will be a lack of wealth in the life, and the people who have been fooled by the old thief will only be familiar with the old thief and know the ghosts and gods, so the old thief can frequently follow this law and get a few riches. As for why there is no shadow when passing by here at noon, the old thief is also unclear. “
I listened to it and thought that the current fraud gang is really full of tricks, and it is impossible to prevent it; A witty person like my little brother Wang accidentally said, looked up and looked around, wondering if he could find the reason for losing his shadow.
Just looking at the big cow and the mountain, this look up to see the surrounding environment, instantly see that the mouth of this alley is surrounded by dozens of high-rise buildings, each floor is full of transparent glass windows, my current location is in the middle of several buildings, the sun shines on the surrounding glass, forming one after another small light source, and then hit me from all directions, it becomes a diffuse reflection of light, canceling my shadow.
To put it bluntly, when the light hits you from all directions, the shadow is difficult to see. The shadowless lamp commonly used in surgery is made according to this principle, but I didn't expect that a huge shadowless lamp was naturally and unnaturally formed in this downtown area.
Thinking about how Uncle Li was not a master who was willing to enter science, he said to him: "Maybe the ancestors of heaven saw that you had followed the ancient teachings all your life, but you were so miserable, and specially made a place where you reversed yin and yang so that you can always show your skills and eat with your mouth." It will also allow you to have the ability to serve the public in front of all kinds of apprentices in the future. “
Uncle Li was overjoyed when he heard it, and he felt that what he said in this later life was really reasonable, and when he was still the king of thieves, he had never seen any disciple and grandson speak so much into his old man's ears. But because of his age, he has to be somewhat modest: "Everywhere, it's this feng shui treasure that my pony brother has a unique vision for the old thief." If you want to say that the ancestors take care of it, it is also my pony brother ancestor who has appeared and opened a way to make money, and it is definitely not the kindness of the old thief ancestors. “
Ah Niu stood stupidly behind me, listening in the clouds, I don't know when I became a little pickpocket who was scolded by the master, I only understood that my little brother Wang did not exist to be possessed by the cat spirit, and he didn't think about anything else at the moment, and he was arguing that he was hungry, and I didn't eat for ** hours when I thought about it, so I simply went to eat first.
Another thought that people in Hefei have no relatives and no reason, this Uncle Li is also the dragon king of the landing forced to do the work of earthworms out of desperation, his own temperament and we are very compatible, really treat us as like-minded people, so I forced Uncle Li to go to the nearby to eat a meal of Haidilao, during which I did not dare to drink more, for fear that I drank too much tongue and mistakenly let Uncle Li find out that we are not new shavers, which will cause any unhappiness. Fortunately, Uncle Li has not talked to people for a long time, and when he met two peers, he really treated us as relatives, and poured bitter water out of his stomach, and I sighed when I heard it, and I felt that this person was really in the wrong line, so serious, discerning, and well-behaved, and the people who obeyed the rules and regulations just entered the next three indiscriminate lines, and they could only sigh that sometimes fate is really not something that people can control.
A bottle of Red Star Erguo went down to the stomach, and the tongue for Uncle Li to drink was big, and he knocked on the plate in front of him with chopsticks, muttering what kind of thief is punished, and the thief of the country is marquis, when someone in Li steals the tombs of the princes in the world, he must find a dragon robe to put on himself. In the end, Uncle Li couldn't walk when he was drunk, so he had to find a hotel to open a room for him to lie down, and stuffed him with a thousand yuan in his pocket before leaving.
After such a commotion, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon when I got home, and I got up early and worked hard all day, and I encountered so many things, I didn't have time to take a shower when I got home, and I couldn't get up again when I got on the bed.
When I woke up, it was noon the next day, and Ah Niu was still snoring next door, and the loud sound could be heard in my room. I took out my phone to see if anyone called us, opened the screen and saw more than 20 missed calls, and I didn't know who called, thinking that it might be big sunglasses, so I called back, and when I heard the voice, it was really big sunglasses, and yelled at me, saying that I and Ah Niu were not as sincere as his dog brother, and I got the money and had the idea of running away, and I didn't even answer the call made by the dog brother himself, I just woke up and made a big noise to this grandson, and hurriedly interrupted him, telling him that we took the money to go down to the restaurant to celebrate, I drank too much wine to sleep until now; Ask him what is the matter with us in such a hurry.
Only then did the old boy calm down, and told me that he had found a manpower, and asked me and Ah Niu to prepare to meet at eight o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, and the location was still at the entrance of the Talent Building. I was going to call Ah Niu and I to get ready early, but I never thought that we two heartless little bastards only knew how to spend all day drinking, which broke his old man's heart. I listened to the big sunglasses start chirping crookedly again, said we know, and hung up the phone amid the old boy's abuse.
After answering the phone, the person also woke up and went to the bathroom to take a shower; I was about to call Ah Niu up from the bed, but I opened the door and found that Ah Niu had woken up, holding his mobile phone on the phone, with a constipated expression, needless to say, I knew that I was talking on the phone with big sunglasses, watching me push the door, squeezing my eyebrows and trying to let me help him shirk it, I really didn't want to be entangled with big sunglasses, so I hurriedly pretended not to see it, closed the door and sat in the living room watching TV and waiting for Ah Niu to come out. I waited for almost an hour, and when Ah Niu came out, he was disdainful of me, blaming me for not being righteous, I thought that I couldn't destroy my perfect image in Ah Niu's heart, so I hurriedly changed the topic and asked Ah Niu: "How do you feel about the big sunglasses?" “
Ah Niu thought for a while and said, "Except for being a little fierce and talking a little more, everything else is pretty good; What's more, he is willing to pay us such a high salary. "I thought to myself that there was a little bit of a habit on this big sunglasses that could be associated with the good, so I hurriedly speculated and slandered, and restored the original appearance of the big sunglasses.
After listening to my speculation, Ah Niu asked me, "Brother Wang, do you suspect that the boss of the big sunglasses is not doing serious business?" "I said where is speculation, this is a clear thing, these big sunglasses are probably tomb robbers in the name of archaeology, or they have made an appointment to do some secret transaction in a hidden location nearby, anyway, they are definitely not serious people.
Listening to my analysis, Ah Niu may feel that what I said is right, but he gritted his teeth and said to me: "Brother Wang, can we work under the sunglasses boss for a few days first?" If the sunglasses boss really did something hurtful, let's quit again? "As soon as I wondered, Ah Niu is not the kind of person who has to pick up money when he sees money dropped on the ground, why did he decide to risk his life when he knew that the big sunglasses were unreliable?
I heard Ah Niu say to me: "Brother Wang, you also know the purpose of my visit this time, just to find a good job and make a lot of money, my father was working on the construction site a few days ago when his thigh was pierced by a steel bar, and his leg was punctured; Not only can I not work, but now I am still lying in the hospital, and I am left with a labor force that can earn money at home, so I want to try my luck in the big city and earn more money for my father's treatment. I didn't want to tell Brother Xiao Wang that you were afraid that you would worry about me, but in fact, I also saw that the boss of the sunglasses might not be doing a serious job, but I don't feel like a big traitor. “
Only then did I understand why Ah Niu had been reluctant to reveal the reason why he quit his job, so he directly hit Ah Niu Kari with all the money in the card, so that he could pay me back if he had money, and use the money to treat Uncle Ah well, and told him that the two brothers advance and retreat together in life and death, how can there be times when the pace is inconsistent. And Laojun Mountain is our territory, and the big sunglasses may not be our opponent if they really want to make trouble in the mountains.
Ah Niu did not refuse, more than ten years of brotherly feelings are there, whether it is polite or thank you, it is redundant. Because the big sunglasses didn't say that they wanted us to bring anything over, they simply didn't prepare anything and made a hands-off shopkeeper. During this period, Ah Niu took out all the money and was about to take it when he passed by the door. After eating, sleeping, and sleeping, I went out at seven o'clock in the morning on the third day.
