Chapter 35: Unfavorable
Jiang Han hurriedly used crutches to support her shaking body, and before she could open her mouth to speak, the person who hit her was even more fierce than her: "Do you have long eyes!" Can't see if you hit someone while walking? β
"Hey, you're really going to hit me upside down, obviously you bumped into me!" When she saw this person, eighteen or nineteen years old, she said suspiciously, "Look at you like this...... You can't just hit me on purpose and try to steal my money, right? β
"Phew, less blood spews people, look at you as a poor sour, what is there to steal? Get out of the way, get out of the way! With that, he shoved her and hurried away.
By the time she stood firm again, the man was gone. She hurriedly touched the seam of her belt, but fortunately the two pennies were still there.
It's really bad to go out today, what kind of people are these!
As soon as she thought like this, an arrogant shout came from not far away: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! β
With two "pops", a chestnut two-wheeled carriage drove in front.
"Let it go, fellow bother, let it go!"
A gruff sound fell at the same time, and a bullock cart full of goods came from behind.
Two cars approached face to face, blocking the already open street.
The crowd quickly moved to both sides, and Jiang Han also retreated to the side with the flow of people. "Bang knock", she crashed into a stall.
She couldn't stop the car, threw herself on the table, struggled to get up with her crutches, and apologized without raising her head. As soon as the words came out, her body was crooked again, and she looked at it, and it turned out that the placket of her clothes had been ripped off.
It was the stall owner who grabbed her, he was wearing a black robe, a square scarf and hat, he was about fifty years old, and he had a short beard on his pig's waist and face.
"Little brother, I see that you have an extraordinary bearing, but there is a disease on your feet that is not good for walking, since you bumped into the old man's stall, it means that you and I are destined, it is better to cut off the evil luck with a hexagram!" It turned out to be a half-immortal.
"This great immortal, it's my fault to bump into your stall, but you force me to tell fortunes, that is, you are wrong, I don't believe in fate or heaven, I believe in myself, and I have no interest in fortune-telling." Jiang Han struggled to take back his clothes, but who knew that the gentleman had a lot of strength, no matter how she pulled and broke it, the placket did not move in his hand.
"The little brother is really different, but the little brother knows that people can't be blindly confident, and they must have the right guidance to know what is right and wrong. Also, the old man wants to correct it, the old man is a fortune teller, not a fortune teller. Observing hexagrams can clearly identify good fortune and evil, that is, the guidance of the mandate of heaven, but fortune-telling is mostly charlatanism......"
"I don't care if you're a fortune teller or a fortune teller, if you hold on to me again, I'll bring disaster to you!"
"Don't scare the old man, the old man sees you as a kind person with a hard face and a soft heart. But you've been having a lot of trouble lately, and it seems like you'......"
The master spun his right hand, letting go of her shirt but taking hold of her left wrist, elbows pulling her further.
He squinted his eyes and looked her up and down, and after a while, he held his beard with his left hand and said inscrutablely: "The old man understands, you have provoked the gods and Buddhas, and reversed yin and yang, plus the villain is troublesome, so that your luck is hindered, and there are many good things......"
Jiang Han raised his eyebrows, reversing yin and yang, did this half-immortal see that she was dressed as a man? Messed with the gods and Buddhas...... Could it be the reason for her crossing? Although she didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, she did cross over ......
The gentleman saw that her eyes were spinning with disdain on her face, so he stroked his wrist on her shoulder, pressed her down, and pressed her down on the bench by the stall.
"Little brother, come, since you and I are destined, let the old man come and make a good fortune for you, and break it down in detail!"
"Then, hurry up, I'm in a hurry to buy tofu, but I don't have much time to spare!" Jiang Han simply sat down and saw what he could say.
The gentleman took out two crescent-shaped armors, listened to her words, glanced at her, and said: "What's the hurry, this is already noisy in front, and it can't be over for a while, you wait and see, these two cars are making trouble like this, and they will regret it when they come to the inspection department." β
"What if the soldiers from the Inspection Department come, at most they just reprimand a few times, scare a few words, and disperse the carriage and everyone, what else?" Jiang Han disagreed.
The gentleman bowed his head and fiddled with his hexagram, listened to her words, and said to her like a fool: "Hey, you little brother, you are too naΓ―ve! It seems that you rarely walk on this street, and you have not seen the rules of these poor soldiers, especially in the past two days, it has become even worse......"
"Hey, you're a man...... Are you still counted? Don't count me gone! Jiang Han couldn't stand his gaze and threatened unhappily.
"Isn't this about to start, don't be impatient, don't be impatient!"
The gentleman finally shut up and threw the two hexagrams on the table. Throw it, look at it, close your eyes and say a few words, and repeat it again and again.
Jiang Han sat on the stool and stared at him for a long time, but he didn't see anything. She was bored, so she simply turned her head to look at the commotion made by the two coachmen not far away.
When she was looking at the rise, the gentleman next to her spoke: "What kind of good luck does the little brother want to observe?" β
"Whatever, you can do it." Jiang Han turned his head and replied casually.
"This is the ninth hexagram." The gentleman pointed to the hexagram thrown on the table, and then began to shake his head, "No, the bandit, it is not good, the gentleman is chaste; Big and small. Xiang said: Heaven and earth do not hand, "no", the gentleman is thrifty and virtuous to overcome difficulties...... On the nineth, pour no, first no and then happy, like say, no in the end then pour, how can it be long. β
"What do you mean?" Jiang Han was almost stunned by him, whether he understood or not.
Although it is not passable, it will also die, first no and then happy, no pole is Tai, access first. Congratulations to the little brother, this hexagram is auspicious! The gentleman did not explain, but after reading to himself, he suddenly said in a loud voice.
Jiang Han was bluffed by him, and he was slightly disappointed in his heart, so he didn't want to delay any longer.
She nodded and stood up and said, "Okay, you're done, I don't understand, but I can go, right?" β
The old man ripped her off again and said, "Little brother, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so if you don't understand, let the old man come and break it down for you again." β
"Then hurry up, get straight to the point, don't engage in that kind of chatter, I'm in a hurry!" Jiang Han said impatiently.
"Good...... Your little brother is too anxious, if it is not appropriate, if it is urgent, it will cause chaos, and chaos will cause trouble, young people must cultivate themselves and cultivate their temperament, and they must be calm and calm. The gentleman glanced at him and shook his head in disapproval.
"Still talking?"
"Say, say, how can you not say?"
The gentleman scooped up her left hand, slapped it on the table, broke it open, and looked at the palmistry.
Jiang Han struggled a few times, but she didn't break free, she was a little angry: "When I saw that you old man was a fool, you said that fortune-telling is fortune-telling, and now you look at ......palmistry again."
"No, no, palmistry is not used exclusively for fortune telling, and it can complement each other with hexagrams, and the good and bad can be seen more accurately." He shook his head and finished chanting, his expression was closed, and he said: "Little brother, although this hexagram is auspicious, but the old man just looked at your palmistry, but there is something wrong." β
He paused, and saw that Jiang Han only stared at him but didn't answer, so he had to talk to himself: "If you want to get this good luck, you have to remember that you have to cultivate your self-cultivation, treat others sincerely, be friendly to your neighbors, and help the poor and give kindness when people are in trouble, so that you can be lucky and avoid evil, and have good fortune." β
"Do you understand?" The gentleman stared into her eyes, his hand straining slightly.
"Cut, isn't this just that I am always a fortune boy?" Jiang Han pulled his hand back hard.
"Now that you know, remember it!"
"Can I go?" Jiang Han didn't pay attention to his words at all.
"You don't have anything else to ask?"
"Don't ask! You want to ask yourself, ask yourself, and play. Jiang Han glanced at him, stood up on crutches, and said with disdain.
"Then you're not interested in what I just said." When the gentleman saw her like this, his eyes rolled and he said, "Okay, since we have a fate today, the old man will send you a few more words to test the marriage for you." Then he grabbed Jiang Han's left hand with a flick of his hand.
"Don't, don't, let go, I have to go!"
Jiang Han stumbled, her crutches fell to the ground, she had to land on her left foot and attack him with her right hand, but he took his hand and dodged left and right, leading her body crooked. She took a big step on her left foot to stabilize her body, and as soon as she stood still, there was a pain in her ankle, and she stumbled back onto the table.
But the gentleman seemed to have something to do, and said to himself: "What you want, what you want, marriage is a major event in life, and you can't be casual." He stroked her palm again and glanced at it, and said: "Judging from the hexagram, your marriage is temporarily unpassable, but from the palmistry, it has been red and the stars are moving, there is life and death, it seems that there is a better marriage waiting ahead." β
Jiang Han had to sit down again, she glanced at him a few times angrily, gritted her teeth and said, "This is your divination?" Fool me for my good luck, and come to fool me for a good marriage? I'm going to be lucky to get married, and now I still need to mix like this? β
"Not having it now doesn't mean that it won't be in the future, a good marriage may be just around the corner, but the time hasn't come yet." The gentleman would justify himself.
"Cut, that's not just for you! Hurry up and let go, and then entangle, be careful that Lao Tzu smashes your mess! Jiang Han had completely lost her patience, she secretly hooked her crutches with her right foot, leaned over to pick it up, and lifted it up.
"Okay, the hexagram has been solved for you, and the marriage is also given to you, do you remember the old man's previous warning?"
"Humph!" Jiang Han strained his left wrist and finally pulled back his hand.
"My admonition is that when people are in difficulty, help the poor and show kindness - then start with the old man now......" he said and stretched out his hand to Jiang Han.
"What are you going to do?" Jiang Han said vigilantly.
"The old man just warned that the little brother must be generous when people are in difficulty, and the old man has solved the hexagram for the little brother, and he does not follow the little brother's mind as much as he wants." The gentleman lifted his chin and rubbed his fingers.
"Hey, you're asking me for silver? Go and go, you have to stop me from calculating this hexagram, I don't have a penny! β
Jiang Han got up with a straight eyebrow, and in order to avoid that gentleman, he fled quickly on crutches, and the sound of "bang" bumped into another person.
The man was dressed in a blue and gray kudzu cloth and a scarf, except for a pair of eyes that turned a little quickly under his pale eyebrows, but there was nothing wrong with it.
Jiang Han had a long memory this time, and took the lead: "Don't you have long eyes?" Be careful when walking! β
The man looked panicked and didn't answer, and walked around to the other side of her as if he had no direction, and then arched his hands and ran away.
Jiang Han looked inexplicable, but when she saw that the gentleman had chased after her from behind the stall, she immediately came back to her senses and limped and ran quickly.
"Eh, little brother, don't run, my hexagram is not a mess, don't be such a scoundrel, why don't you give a few pennies and let me open a piece? I haven't had breakfast yet, old man. When the gentleman saw her running, he immediately shouted.
"I'm only two pennies myself, and I'll give you a few pennies to open the store, I want to be beautiful!" Jiang Han replied loudly without looking back.
When the gentleman heard this, his face turned dark, and he said, "Phew, I'm blind to my good hexagram!" I thought I had caught a big customer who had made a windfall, but I didn't expect it to be a stubborn and stingy shit! Bad luck! β
But the man who didn't run far stiffened his back, and then scolded in annoyance: "TND, it turns out that there are really only two articles, and I thought I didn't touch it, so we tossed back and forth!" β
