Chapter 108: Mixed Traces of the Xiangjiang River
Hetu doesn't tell me everything, he is now a successful feng shui master, in the years when the Hong Kong property market was booming, he relied on a compass and a mouth to make a lot of money, but I think he still doesn't look like a rich man, I also inquired from others, if Hetu attends the auction of a commercial land, then the starting price should be in seven figures. He is mainly responsible for surveying the feng shui of the land and providing feng shui consulting for subsequent architectural design, and it is said that his rule is to only participate in one job per month, and no matter how much money is given, he will not do it.
I asked him, "I heard that there is a big guy over there who is holding a gun and staring at your head, saying that you should open your mouth to tell the fortune, is there such a thing?" ”
His expression was as calm as water, and he nodded in acknowledgement, I won't go into detail about the thrilling in this, I heard him say that it was his third year in Hong Kong.
When Hetu went to Hong Kong, he had already returned, and Hong Kong at that time was far more attractive than it is now, with high income, high welfare, developed urban system and perfect supporting facilities. At first, like most people, he slept under the overpass, covered the newspaper quilt, and was even arrested by the police as a liar. The person who changed his fate was a Hong Kong actor, I won't say the name of this person, he was still a little popular before the nineties of the last century. The actor was sewing his trough at that time, wanting to leave the showbiz and enter the business world, and the mainland's economic development was in full swing at this time, especially in Shenzhen.
With his popularity, the actor thought that he could make a career, who knew that those who crossed the river were not necessarily Raptors, but also lambs to be slaughtered. In less than a year, he accompanied the savings he earned on the stage in the first half of his life, and what was Tong Hetu doing at that time? Like most of the gods, a canvas was erected on the street with the words "Immortal Guiding the Way" written on it, and when it encountered the chengguan, it ran faster than a rabbit.
Hetu said that he is not actually a fortune teller, because Cha Wenbin does not let him, he is purely to make ends meet, and he will answer five points true and five points false when asked by others, pick some irrelevant ones to tell you accurately, and some things that will really affect fate will be avoided instead, because in this way, it will not be said that it will reveal the secret of heaven and suffer disaster.
The actor still owes a lot of money after losing all his belongings, and the bank and loan sharks have chased him to Jiang's side, because he is a "celebrity" and plans to commit suicide in desperation. Standing on the bridge and jumping down, Tong Hetu, who happened to live in the bridge hole, was smashed and suddenly realized that someone had jumped into the river. Unlike Cha Wenbin, his master did not object to him going down to the river to play, and also encouraged him, I think it was probably because of the relationship with his youngest daughter, he didn't want the tragedy of drowning to happen again. So after Tong Hetu got to know me, we often went to the river to fish with our bare butts in the summer, and his water nature was good.
After that person was rescued, he lived in that bridge hole, where did Tong Hetu know who he rescued, he only cared about whether his stomach could be filled tomorrow, and the glamorous entertainment industry has always had nothing to do with him. That person stayed in the bridge cave for three days, and Tong Hetu would bring a dinner every day after coming back from the stall, and in those three days, that person probably figured out that he was already a person who had died once, and he was no longer afraid to face it. That night, he chatted with Tong Hetu for the first time, talking about his past, his past, and his successes and failures.
Tong Hetu told him that he was a fortune teller and asked him if he believed in fate. The man nodded and said that you can rest assured, you are a wealthy person, and the first time you broke the fortune was to eliminate a disaster, as long as this disaster can be avoided, the second time will be much more than the first time.
Soon after, the man took him to Hong Kong, where he said that it was Hetu who saved him, and that in Hong Kong, feng shui mastery is a decent profession and there is no need to hide in Tibet like this. And that person still has quite a lot of connections, Hetu began to wander in these circles, and slowly became a little famous. As for that person's fate, after a few years, it was really confirmed, and now he is still active on the stage, and the debt he owes has already been paid off, and as for the disaster that disappeared, it has also been realized, and it can indeed be regarded as a human disaster.
When a big brother celebrated his birthday, his subordinates sent someone to "invite" Tong Hetu to tell him a fortune, and that person asked Tong Hetu to calculate that his eldest brother would be able to shock the world in the future, have a wide range of financial resources, and live a long life.
Hetu went, he only glanced at the palmistry of the eldest brother and refused to speak, the other party's birthday banquet invited some big brothers with heads and faces, Hong Kong people like to celebrate, and also believe in fortune-telling feng shui. A thick red envelope was placed in front of him, and as long as he opened his mouth, everything was over.
"Why didn't you fool around?" I asked him: "It's like when you just came to Shenzhen to beg for a living, anyway, it's not that you haven't told a lie, you yourself say that fortune tellers only tell half the truth." ”
He smiled and said: "You don't understand, that person's birthday banquet is actually his life-breaking banquet, I know that he will definitely have a bloody disaster within seven days, what do you say I can say?" ”
"Definitely not." I said, "When people celebrate their birthdays, you run to talk about this, aren't you deliberately uncomfortable?" ”
Hetu sighed and said: "People, they just like to listen to good things, and bad things are often true, but they disdain them." If I had told the truth that day, I would have been killed by his men before I could get out of that room. But if I tell a lie, that he is full of red face and proud, and that a week later he was shot in the head in the street, wouldn't my sign be completely ruined? ”
He looked at me and said, "When I was in Shenzhen, no one knew who Hetu was? The kid under the overpass is no different from the sticks walking down the street, and I say that the fake ones are happy if they are happy, just to make a fortune. But that time in Hong Kong is different, the back of my office is Victoria Harbour, and the people who know him are all over the street, if I tell a lie, then I will never have a foothold again, everyone will know that Tong Hetu's life approval to that big brother is a fake, a joke. Why should I destroy myself for the sake of someone who would have died? ”
His answer made me speechless, and yes, today's Tong Hetu is no longer the country boy of the year, it is said that when he shows others Feng Shui, he is charged by the minute, I nodded and said: "I understand, when people reach a certain height, it is difficult to come down again." ”
"I can't ruin it." Hetu's eyes twitched for the first time in a long time, this slight change was captured by me, in my impression he is not a person who values power and money as his life, I am patiently waiting for him to open up to me, talk to him, unless he takes the initiative, you should never try to get close to his heart. Cultivators, in terms of patience and depth, are far thicker than ordinary people, and they can think about only one question for days and nights, so how can you peek into the hearts of such people?
At first, he was reluctant to tell the hexagram, saying that he had his own rules, one hexagram every month, and this month had already passed, and if he wanted to tell the hexagram, he would definitely visit the door next month, and he would not charge a penny. This trick may be somewhat effective against some rich people, who only seek wealth and will not ask for trouble, but this underworld brother values face more. said that someone gave him a slap at that time, and then there was a gun on his head, and today you have to say it, and you have to say it if you don't say it!
Hetu said he was calm, and I asked him if he was angry. He smiled and said, "Would you have to deal with someone who is going to die?"
He just picked up the red wine glass in front of him, got up and pretended to toast and apologize, and the moment he clinked glasses with the big brother of the underworld, his hand slipped and the glass fell to the ground. At that time, he was already a person with status, so such a move was naturally rude, Hetu gently swept the red wine splashed on his body and said: "I'm sorry, your subordinates are holding guns against me, I'm a little uncomfortable, I'm timid." ”
This excuse was seamless, and the eldest brother didn't want to see a knife or a gun at his birthday party, so he let people accept it. Hetu made an excuse to go to the bathroom to clean up first, because he needed to see his eldest brother's palmistry, and he had a lot of red wine on his hands. After getting permission, Hetu slipped away from the bathroom, he said it was the most embarrassing time, climbed down the downspout to the top of the shop on the second floor, jumped down, and stopped the taxi to go straight to the Shenzhen port, and then he found a small hotel to hide, quietly waiting for the news to come from the newspaper.
A week later, the eldest brother died, and Hetu's performance at the birthday banquet that day was naturally widely circulated, and people said that he was protecting himself, because he calculated that the eldest brother would be shot in the head, so he used a glass filled with red wine to remind him, but he blamed the eldest brother for not only disrespecting people, but also blinding himself and dying as he deserved.
"Did you really remind him?" I asked.
He shook his head and said: "No, that's just my plan to get rid of the golden silkworm, people want to say that, I don't defend it, you know that after a person is mythologized, what he does seems to make sense." ”
"You're such an old fox." I smiled and said, "Is it that since that incident, there have been more underworld brothers looking for you?" ”
"No," Hetu said, "I found a few clients for me to settle for me, and you know that the underworld also serves the rich." I don't just ask about the things in the rivers and lakes, walking the underworld is originally one foot in the coffin and one foot in the prison, and most people will not end well. ”
