Chapter 3 The Old Man of Fortune Telling
Looking at the road below, I still went to the town and asked, but I couldn't think of anything out of it. But how can I get there so far, if only I could get in that kind of car. I thought about it, there will be a car in the next moment, can I just jump on it?
Looking at the height, there are more than a few zhang, I am still very confident in my light skills, and it is not a problem to jump these zhang. But it's better to jump directly into the car, because the speed of that kind of car is too fast, so for the sake of safety, it is better to jump on the road first.
I saw that there was no car coming, so I jumped down and landed firmly on the ground.
After waiting for a while, I saw another car coming, but seeing that the car was too small, I still forgot it.
After passing several cars, I finally saw a big blue car with a big box behind it, and I saw the right time and jumped into the box. Fortunately, my light skills are not bad, and I didn't make any sound, otherwise it would be troublesome to be found by the owner.
The car was moving so fast that things flashed on both sides, which made me feel very unsafe, and I didn't dare to sit down but squatted on the edge, feeling uneasy. I feel dizzy, I want to vomit but I can't vomit, it's very uncomfortable.
After walking like this for about half an hour, I almost fainted, and I no longer had the strength to squat, so I fell straight into the box. I might as well let me die if I was tortured like this, and I tried to jump out of the car several times, but I held back. When I finally entered the city, tall houses flashed on both sides, and merchants and shops appeared on the side of the road.
I lay on my back in the trunk, feeling weak, I wanted to get out of the car, but the speed of this car is too fast, how can I get down, even though I am confident in my light skills, but this speed is so fast, I still don't dare to try easily, I finally came back to life after being poisoned, I don't want to die again.
At this moment, the speed of the car slowed down, and the car got slower and slower and finally stopped. I looked out, wow, there were so many cars, there was a long line behind me, and this underworld was really strange. I quickly took the opportunity to jump outside.
As soon as I jumped off, I fell to the ground because I was so uncomfortable in the car, my head was dizzy and painful, and I almost fainted. So when I landed, I didn't have a good balance. But I also stood up in an instant, but I didn't expect that a two-wheeled car happened to pass by and almost hit me. The person sitting in the car also cursed, "Looking for death, you, ask for rice and flowers." Then he sped away.
Dare to scold me, I wanted to catch up with him and beat him, but after thinking about it, forget it, now I am very uncomfortable, and then there is the place where I am not familiar with life, don't make trouble first, and figure out what place this is the key.
I finally saw people again, and that feeling of being deserted in the middle of nowhere was really bad. But why did the people on the street hide away from me and look at me with such strange eyes? Strange, is it because I'm masked? Or is it because my clothes are different from theirs?
Indeed, the people here are all dressed in fancy clothes, and what struck me the most was that none of them had shaved their heads, and none of the men had braids, which was a capital offense.
This is definitely not the Great Qing Kingdom, and the possibility of the underworld should not be great, and the people walking around the street don't look like ghosts, but they don't look like people. The clothes I wore were my mother's own make-you-goat, but they were dirty and dirty because they had crawled out of the hole, and my braids were covered with dust. I simply shook my clothes and dusted my braids.
Plait? Oh, they must have felt weird when they saw my braids. Speaking of which, I also said that people are fancy dresses, and for them, I am a fancy dress, so it's not strange that they look at me like that. But I can't do that much, first I have to figure out what this is and how to get home.
Everything in front of me seemed so strange and weird, and the strange cars were lined up like a long line, driving slowly, and the shrill screams continued. There were also red-green lights flashing at the intersection not far ahead. The words on the street shop are very similar to those we have there, some of them I recognize, and I can understand the people here.
The strangest thing is that some of the black boxes in front of the street shops are singing pleasantly. Could it be that there are people hidden inside? I walked over and took a closer look, such a small box should not fit anyone, I knocked curiously. At this time, I only heard a woman's voice: "What are you doing, you are sick?" ”
I looked up and saw a fat woman standing in front of the store, glaring at me.
Sick? What does that mean? Could it be that he could see that I was poisoned, but looking at his expression, it seemed like he was scolding me, how could people here be so unfriendly? I ignored her, good men don't fight women.
I noticed an old man in front of me, who seemed to be a fortune teller. As I walked over, I saw the old man, with a white beard and a black robe, sitting on a small pony, holding a sign in his hand and swaying with his head bowed.
In front of him was a yellow cloth with gossip patterns painted on it, and there were many strange words. In the corner of the cloth is placed a cup, which contains a dark yellow liquid, probably tea.
There was no one in front of him, and it seemed that business was bleak. When he saw me coming over, he looked up at me. He looked up and startled me, only to see that the old man's face was so skinny that he almost turned into a skeleton. However, his eyes are bright, and they are extremely incommensurate with his age.
He grinned at me, bared his golden teeth and said, "The young man is a fortune teller?" ”
"Oh, old man, I don't count hexagrams, I just ask for directions."
As soon as the old man heard that I was not a hexagram, he began to lower his head and shake the sticker again, ignoring me.
This old man is too unkind, I took out a tael of silver from my bosom and put it in front of him, I don't believe you don't see money.
As I expected, his eyes widened at the sight of the silver, and his face was already blooming with joy. He grabbed the silver, looked at it carefully, kissed and bitten, and then put it in his arms. He smiled and asked me, "Young man, what are you going to ask?" ”
"Oh, old man, what kind of place is this?"
"This is Wuyang City."
Wuyang City sounds so strange. I asked, "How far is this from the city?" ”
"You're from Petu City?" The old man asked me rhetorically.
"Ah, yes, I'm from the city of Petsu."
After hearing this, the old man stood up and circled around me several times, and I was uncomfortable when I saw it, so he sat back down, unscrewed the water cup and drank several sips of water.
I said to myself that there is something wrong with this old man, even if I dress strangely, it will not be so good for you to look at it like this.
After a long time, the old man said, "Young man, how did you get here?" ”
