Zhou Zhuang looked at me with a wandering look, turned around and saw this woman, smiled and pulled her over and introduced:

"This is my daughter-in-law, called Xiao Chu"

As soon as I heard that it was his daughter-in-law, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhou Zhuang probably saw that I noticed the scar on her face, and explained:

"Oh, my daughter-in-law went to the mountains to collect firewood a few years ago, and she fell and broke her face with a branch, which is a little scary, don't be surprised"

Looking at this girl closely, it is not as terrifying as just now, but the scars on this face are long and thick, and they don't look like they have been cut by branches.

I nodded to Xiao Chu as a greeting.

Zhou Zhuang said with a smile:

"By the way, what are you doing here in our sheep grass ditch?"

It's easy to do things with acquaintances, so I didn't hide it and told him directly, I was here to find a Xu Banxian who could tell fortunes.

Zhou Zhuang pondered for a while and said:

"We have a gentleman who can tell fortunes and see a doctor in Yangcaogou, but his surname is not Xu."

Lao Liu Wenyan said on the side:

"Xu Banxian'er was his name when he debuted, I heard that he changed his name when he came here, and it is normal not to have the surname Xu now"

I hurriedly introduced Lao Liu to Zhou Zhuang, and said that it was my uncle.

Zhou Zhuang smiled and said:

"You two relatives and friends here, go to my house to live."

I was naturally happy, and I was not polite, so I went home with Lao Liu.

Zhou Zhuang's home is a small brick house, the west house is the master bedroom, and the east house has a small room, but Lao Liu and I are not fat, and we can barely squeeze it out.

After arriving home, Zhou Zhuang instructed Xiao Chu to cook in the kitchen, and chatted with the two of us on the kang.

Zhou Zhuang's family conditions were not good when he was in college, which may be due to this reason, which caused him to be very introverted, and he was always alone in class and eating, but his heart was not bad, and he usually bought fruit snacks and shared them with our roommates.

Although I couldn't attend his wedding, I still dragged a friend to give him 500 yuan.

I didn't communicate much with him when I was studying, but I still had feelings.

At this moment, Zhou Zhuang has become eloquent, and his personality is a lot more cheerful, and he feels very close to me when he sees me, his mouth has not been idle, and he has also told many interesting stories about our school days.

I asked him about the fortune teller in the village, and Zhou Zhuang told us about it.

"This man is over sixty years old, I don't know what his name is, the village calls him Da Lao Wang, he has a daughter-in-law who is a mute, the two of them are really foreign, there is no land, Da Lao Wang often goes to the mountains to pick some herbs and sell them to make a living"

I heard Zhou Zhuang say that he was from out of town, and I was immediately happy, if he was the Xu Banxian we were looking for, it would really save a lot of trouble.

I thought for a moment and asked:

"The eldest king is so capable, doesn't he rely on fortune-telling to see a doctor to make money?"

Zhou Zhuang smiled and waved his hand and said:

"The eldest king is very kind-hearted, and whoever has a family member in the village who has an evil disease will only receive one incense money, and he will not ask for more than a penny."

I heard that the reputation of the big boss is so good, I am so happy, this is not like the style of a generation of masters, although I haven't met yet, but I feel that Xu Banxian must be him!

While chatting, Xiao Chu finished the meal, and we set up a small round table on the kang and started a sumptuous dinner.

I haven't seen my old classmates for many years, and when I recall the past of my youth, the more I drink this wine, the happier I become.

Finally, it was one or two o'clock in the middle of the night that I went back to sleep with my drunken body.

The amount of alcohol is not good, after going back to the house and vomiting a few times, the headache is splitting and the sleep is very light, and in a trance I seem to hear a quarrel in Zhou Zhuang's house, and then the sound of things cracking.

Zhou Zhuang and his wife quarreled?

But I didn't even have the strength to raise my head after drinking, and I really couldn't help with the quarrel, so I finally fell asleep in a daze.

After dawn, Lao Liu woke me up, breakfast had been placed on the stove in the kitchen, and Zhou Zhuang and his wife greeted Lao Liu and went to work.

Lao Liu inquired with Zhou Zhuang about the location of the eldest Wang's family early in the morning, and the two of us rushed there after breakfast.

On the way, I asked Lao Liu and said:

"Lao Liu, this Xu Banxian'er deliberately lived in seclusion in the countryside and changed his name to Da Lao Wang, what if he doesn't admit that he is Xu Banxian'er?"

Lao Liu said in a low voice as he walked:

"No one who can calculate the heavens can escape the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, this Xu Banxian will definitely have a disability, let's see when the time comes"

I nodded, and finally had a little bottom in my heart, as long as I was sure that he was Xu Banxian'er, I believed that I would be able to ask him to agree to the divination.

After a while, we rushed to the eldest Wang's house.

His house is a mud house, from the outside, the wall is cracked, it seems that the conditions are more difficult than Zhou Zhuang's house, I entered the house with Lao Wang, and saw that the small room was already crowded with people.

There was a rickety old man sitting on the edge of the kang, it should be the eldest king, and there was a young man in his twenties standing opposite him, and an eldest sister next to the young man was talking about something, I listened carefully and basically understood the approximate situation.

This young man wants to go to the south to do business, so he came to ask the eldest king to calculate a fortune to see if he could make money on this trip.

The eldest Wang listened carefully to the introduction of the eldest sister, asked the child about the generation of eight characters, and was not verbose, took out two walnuts from his pocket, closed his eyes and muttered something, and then threw the walnuts in his hand to the kang, and the walnuts were randomly scattered on both sides.

I was quite surprised to see this scene, and asked Lao Liu in a whisper:

"Lao Liu, don't all the fortune tellers have to pinch their fingers to see the hand prints or something, why did this old king throw two broken walnuts?"

Lao Liu said in a low voice:

"This is a master, unlike the divination tellers on the street who are memorized according to books, there is no real ability, and it is not accurate to see, there is really ability, and it is not limited to the divination in the hand."

I nodded abruptly and continued to watch the Great Elder Wang wait for the results of his fortune calculations.

The eldest king stared at the two walnuts on the kang for a long time, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

Then he shook his head and said:

"Oh, big sister, your doll can't go to the south, don't blame me for my black mouth, this child is lonely, if you want to live at home, although you have to fight for a lifetime, but you can change to peace, if you leave home and go south, there will be a disaster of blood and light."

As soon as these words fell, several people in the room were stunned, in the countryside, if the young man is old and can't find a wife, he will be laughed at, and now the big old king actually asserts that this kid will be beaten for a lifetime.

The eldest sister on the side felt very embarrassed, and said with a gloomy face:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I want to have a baby, I want to have a good look, you can't find a daughter-in-law? ”

The man standing on the other side should be the young man's father, and when he heard this, his face was also tense, and he said coldly:

"We are looking for your fortune, what are you talking about, you can ask a dumb person to be a daughter-in-law like this, why can't I find my child who is so handsome?"

I felt harsh when I heard this, and it wasn't the old king who begged them for divination, and now the hexagram is not good, and people tell the truth that their family can't listen to it.

The eldest king shook his head helplessly and said:

"Don't blame me for having a black mouth, I just see what I say, believe it or not, it depends on you"

When the man heard this, he was furious, and pointed at the old king and shouted:

"My child is going out by car tonight, I just want to let you see what you say a few nice words to ask for good luck, you are still talking nonsense about what kind of blood and light disaster, you hurry up and recalculate Lao Tzu"

I'm a nosy person, and I can't get used to this kind of unreasonable villain, so I just wanted to come forward to speak for the big old Wang, but Lao Liu grabbed me on the side.

The eldest king put away the two walnuts on the kang, shook his head and said:

"One hexagram a day, it doesn't count, you go back"

Hearing this, the man raised his arm angrily and wanted to hit someone, but the eldest sister on the side stopped him and said:

"Okay, don't be like him, the village still says that you are accurate, quasi-fart, you wait for my son to come back after making money and see how you explain"

With that, he dragged the young man and the angry man out of the door.

I saw this scene with Lao Liu, and after the family of three left, the eldest Wang stared at me and Lao Liu suspiciously, I hurried over and said:

"Big brother, I'm from the city, are you Xu Banxian'er?"

When the eldest king heard this, he didn't see any change in his expression, but just shook his head and said:

"My surname is Wang, you have found the wrong person"

As soon as he got off the ground, I noticed that the old man's right leg was actually disabled, and he needed a stick to walk with his strength.

Lao Liu Gang said, this kind of person who can spy on the heavens must have five disadvantages and three shortcomings, the eldest king is disabled, who else would he be if he wasn't Xu Banxian'er!!

Seeing this, Lao Liu said in a deep voice:

"We did bother, but this little brother's life hangs by a thread, please give Bu a hang, I will definitely help"

The eldest king waved his hand and said:

"What are you looking for me, don't you see, people don't believe it"

I hurriedly replied:

"Big brother, they don't believe that they are ignorant, we believe, please show me a clear way"

The eldest king may have seen that I looked sincere, nodded for a while and said:

"That's okay, I can't do it today, you can come back tomorrow"

When I saw that the eldest king had promised to thank him again and again, I agreed to come back tomorrow morning.

On the way back to Zhou Zhuang's house, Lao Liu was still not at ease, so he had to visit the village chief to confirm whether the eldest king was the Xu Banxian we were looking for.

Zhou Zhuang had land at home, and I wanted to go back to the field as soon as possible to help with the work, so I went separately from Lao Liu.

When I was drinking last night, Zhou Zhuang mentioned to me that his land is easy to find, as long as you go right along the fork of the village road to the end.

I was walking on the road when I suddenly saw an old man standing in the middle of the road with his back on his back.

The old man heard me approaching and whispered:

"What time is it, lad?"

I felt strange, this old man asked people why he didn't look back, and replied in a low voice:

"Uncle, it's eleven o'clock at noon"

The old man leaned over and nodded, and said:

"Okay, thank you"

I said it was okay and passed by the old man, and after a few steps, I still felt strange and looked back at him.

I was so frightened that I almost sat on the ground, this old man was blind!

He is different from the blind old man I met at the gate of community 2386, this old man has no eyeballs at all!!

The position of the eyeball is deeply sunken inside, even though it is daytime, it also makes people look creepy!

The old man probably sensed that I was looking at him, and actually cracked his mouth and smiled at me.

This strange smile sent chills down my body, and I quickly turned my head and quickened my pace forward.

When I arrived in the field, I also mentioned this blind old man to Zhou Zhuang, and Zhou Zhuang told me that this old man was a homeless man, and he couldn't help but be blind, and his spirit was not good, and he relied on the relief of the village people on weekdays.

I couldn't help but sigh, what a poor old man.

It was getting dark, and Zhou Zhuang and I came home from the field.

The wine at home was all drunk yesterday, Zhou Zhuang had to go to the nearby commissary to buy wine, I couldn't twist him, so I waited with Lao Liu at home for him to buy wine and come back.

I was chatting with Lao Liu on the kang, and suddenly found that Zhou Zhuang's wife Xiao Chu began to stare at me like they met for the first time.

She looked at me very uncomfortable, and asked in a low voice:

"Sister-in-law, why are you looking at me like this, what's the matter?"

Xiao Chu bit his lip and wanted to speak.

I knew she had something to say, so I said:

"Sister-in-law is fine, just say whatever you want, I'm a big person"

Xiao Chu finally spoke.

"You two ...... quickly"

Before Xiao Chu's words were finished, there was a noise in the courtyard that he overheard, and then Zhou Zhuang ran into the house panting with wine and shouted at me:

"Oh no, I heard that Lao Zhang's son died in a car accident, Lao Zhang said that it was cursed by the old Wang, and he was going to the old Wang's house with a kitchen knife to hack him to death"

Mr. He lost his life at the moment before saving me, so he finally found Xu Banxian who could give me guidance, and I must not let him die.

I didn't bother to put on my shoes as soon as I heard them, so I hurriedly strode down to the ground.

Zhou Zhuang put the wine on the ground and turned his head to go out first, I was just about to go out, Xiao Chu suddenly grabbed me from behind, and said anxiously:

"Remember, don't believe the words of the Great King!!"
