Chapter Seventy-Four: Fortune Telling
With foreshadowing, it is good to strike while the iron is hot, Xu Fengnian followed the big team to the city of Orange State the next day, and got close to Feng Shanling, these rough men bragged and fart, this is a completely different taste from chatting with Mr. Luo and a few old Confucian students, it is a completely different taste, probably the difference between pouring wine and drinking tea warmly, Xu Fengnian borrowed the good bow from Feng Shanling along the way, and it is certainly not difficult to pull out a full moon with his arm strength, and he tried archery several times, full of momentum, fortunately, there are horse thieves in front, these servants are not so surprised, and Xu Fengnian and they are not a bastard who grabs jobs, and they are also willing to tout a few words of warm feelings, human kung fu is just to carry a sedan chair, you carry me, I carry you, everyone is happy. Feng Shanling is relatively sincere, when people are middle-aged, they are probably too depressed in their hearts, and they can't drink enough, so they want to nag with people, and when they pick up arrows, no one talks to Xu Fengnian about many old things in Beiliang, Feng Shanling saw that Xu Fengnian was not impatient at all, and the old man's conversation box was completely opened.
"At the beginning of joining the army, there are actually two choices, go to the old department of General Gu Jiantang, there are not many wars, and there can be a stable life, but it is destined that military merits can't rob those rich children, I'm a barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, I still voted for the Beiliang Army, in fact, there are also small abacus, although the Beiliang border is unstable, but the Spring and Autumn Nine Kingdoms have been fighting for decades, and the general has defeated six by himself, so I feel that even if I go to the border, it is estimated that as long as I don't be a scout spy, and the kind of guerrilla cavalry who rushes ahead, it is not easy to die, and I was really hit by luck and became a crossbowman, except for the crossbow that time I stepped on the crossbowAt the beginning of every time the war ended, I saw those cavalry and foot soldiers who broke their hands and feet or their entire backs were cut open, and their scalps were still numb, and then they fought for a long time, and they were scolded a lot by the captains, and they listened to the old soldiers talk about some of the exploits in the Spring and Autumn War, and the brothers around me shouted that they didn't kill people but they didn't enjoy it, I was afraid of death or afraid of death, how could there be a pawn in the world who was not afraid of death, but I thought that if one day it was really Lao Tzu's turn to rush up and fight hard, I was really not afraid of dying in the battle, anyway, there were brothers who collected the corpses, and there was no daughter-in-law who rolled the quilt to think about it at that timeγ If it were now, I wouldn't have the guts. β
"I remember very well, I have been in the Beiliang Army for a total of three years and nine months, I have not seen any big people, the biggest official is Liupin, is a young cavalry general, this general's buttocks mount is called a tall, but at that time envy is envy, when I think that everyone is using the same Beiliang knife, I heard that even the general is no exception, and there is nothing to be blushing about. β
"Xu Gongzi, it's not that Lao Feng is shrewd, but sincerely advises you to learn some Beiliang dialect, if one day Beiliang Tie rides all the way north and defeats the Beimang Southern Dynasty, it is always right to know some Beiliang dialect. β
With Feng Shanling's broken thoughts, gradually approaching the border town, Xu Fengnian and Luo Changhe and his party distanced, squatting on the edge of a river dry ravine, the third war between the two dynasties, is the second and most difficult time in the Liyang Dynasty in the early stage of the situation advantage, but unfortunately it is near this sable platform fell short, at that time in the old Shoufu and Gu Jiantang, including a group of important ministers familiar with the border defense carefully planned, the elite of the border army of the two Liao Nine Towns poured out, with lightning speed, marching 100 miles a day, in the Honghan three years of June 9 from Zhenzhou to the north, 16 arrived at Tunjintai, 17 to Beimang now Yibing Town, Orange Prefecture, more than 6,000 defenders fell in the wind, 19 days to besiege Zhuzhou, and then go to Yehuguan fortresses, intended to block the mouth of the North Mang South and West troops, just in the open Sable Terrace in the four directions to try to encircle the point to help, was ridiculed by later generations of soldiers for having a righteous and strange use of soldiers, the first time to return to the young Zhao family to conquer the battle is a joke of the formation map to grant the general, if it were not for Gu Jiantang, who was guarding Jinliao, disobeyed the previous established will, led 8,000 elite soldiers to attack and relieve the siege, and then there was Beiliang Chen Zhibao led 90,000 iron cavalry and Gu Department almost at the same time to break north, such as an awl stabbed to Nanjing Mansion, the empire could not be the empire at this time.
Retracting his scattered thoughts, Xu Fengnian stood up, trotted to keep up with the big team, and the Spring Thunder Knife was wrapped in strips of cloth and placed in his backpack. The military and civilians in this town are confused, the city gate inspection is very strict, in the sparse flow of people, a woman who bows her head and walks slowly hands out the pass disc to the spear-wielding city guard, and the young soldier in the strong armor confirms that it is correct, glances at the woman, frowns, and knocks on the big cloth bag that the woman is struggling to carry with the tip of the spear, and the woman slowly unties the rope that straddles the chest, unties the cloth bag, revealing a guqin, three feet six inches and five inches long, seven-string banana leaf type, with snake belly broken lines, and a scorched tail.
Of course, the city guard can't be called knowledgeable about this kind of elegant things, and he can't see the depth of the doorway, seeing that she seems to be a blind person, he didn't feel embarrassed anymore, there are more than 10,000 crane control troops stationed outside the town, and the government is strict, he has earned hundreds of dollars of oil and water today, and he doesn't dare to make too many small movements of goose plucking, so he let her go.
The woman was wearing the costume of the Southern Dynasty, with narrow sleeves and a small skirt, and did not wear a unique hat of the lady, probably because she practiced the piano and practiced a gentle temperament, and walked slowly, after entering the city, the streets of the market began to be lively, many children frolicked and scurried, and several local bullies were squatting at the well on the side of the street to bask in the sun, and when they saw such a weak woman who entered the city alone and entered the city, they looked at each other and smiled, and while the guards of the gate did not pay attention to this, one of the scoundrels pretended to be drunk, staggered over, and hit her shoulder firmly, and the woman carrying the piano shook in a reasonable way, almost fell, and still lowered her head and did not see her expressionAfter passing shoulders and missing, Diyoer turned around, and was going to touch the buttocks of this delicate woman, pinched it, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, causing the laughter of the fox friends and dog friends on the street, the woman was in a hurry, and did not dare to reprimand out loud, which undoubtedly greatly boosted the arrogance of the scoundrel, and he was about to pull at a faster pace, and shouted with nonsense: "Lady, go home with your man to give birth to cubs, what are you hanging out." β
The woman who was pulled by the slender arm was speechless, the scoundrel was thinking about taking advantage of the situation and holding it in his arms to love and pity him, and on the other side of the street stood a neatly dressed young man with a ruffian face. β
The splashy skin who was called Liu Scar suddenly turned red, didn't let go of the silky and greasy woman's arm, turned his head and scolded: "Su Su, no matter how idle Lao Tzu's egg is, it is a hundred times stronger than you, your kid has been facing two old bachelors for more than 20 years, has your ass blossomed?"
The young man went to dig out the earwax after buttoning his nostrils, and said lightly: "I just went to your house to climb the wall an hour ago, and talked to your mother about some long and short private words. β
The young man made a stiff and jerky movement, Liu Scar was humiliated on the street, and he couldn't care about the woman anymore, turned his head to look around, and didn't see anything that could hit people, so he strode up and rushed up to teach this little bastard who had been beaten countless times and still hadn't grown. The young man actually looks very delicate, but he is covered by the ruffian, and when he sees that the opportunity is not good, he is about to run away, and he is helplessly blocked by Liu Scar's five or six buddies at both ends, he scolds his mother in his heart, and holds his head and face very skillfully, so he is full of beating, especially the party Liu Scar, roll up his sleeves, and squeeze out the strength of milk, and he only hears a wail, covering his butt and fleeing, Liu Scar and others began to chase and kill, and pick up the bench of the tea shop and tavern on the street is a mess, and the serious vendors who do business on the street are scolding and scolding, this town is not big, and they have gotten along for more than 20 years, I know the bottom line about these idle lazy people, and I know what to scold and which to fight back, and when Liu Scar and the others are relieved, they throw back the chair and stool casually, and there is no trace of the rucksack woman, which makes Liu Scar want to go to the house surnamed Su to turn the world upside down, but thinking of the strength of the old bachelor's hand, he shrunk his neck, and felt cold, so he had to chatter and curse Su Su's kid for being beaten and losing his ass-eye can't pull in his life.
The young man surnamed Su, who suffered an unwarranted disaster for no reason, rounded around a few alleys, squatted under the root of the wall, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his thumb, was already blue and swollen and sore all over his face, tore open his neckline, saw a bruised shoulder, took a breath of cold air, stood up, stood up, stood on tiptoe, lay on the adobe yellow mud wall, shouted a few times, and finally failed to see the girl who sold green onion cakes, nor did he see the woman's belly pocket and other private things on the bamboo pole where the clothes were driedγ Xu Fengnian and this group of Confucian scholars stayed in a first-class inn, Luo Lao scholar had already helped pay the money, Xu Fengnian was not hypocritical in this kind of minutiae, and Feng Shanling made an appointment for dinner to go to a time-honored restaurant that he had just inquired about, because it was not yet time to eat, he went out for a walk, walked a few streets, and saw a simple fortune-telling stall under an old willow tree with a hollow bellyγ Xu Fengnian hesitated for a moment, looked up at the flag that was soft due to the lack of wind, it was probably five hundred years before and after, and he was a fortune teller, so he was afraid that his tone would be too small.
Xu Fengnian walked over and knocked on the stall with his fingers, the fortune teller woke up, hurriedly wiped his saliva with his cuffs, sat upright, tried his best to show some high popularity, and gushed endlessly: "This immortal knows the five elements of yin and yang, crape myrtle doushu, face and palmistry, Qimen Dunjia, geographical feng shui, regardless of yin and yang houses, all of them are extremely accurate, dare to ask the son what is this immortal?"
Xu Fengnian was partnered with Lao Huang Wenhua at the beginning, but he was a veteran who had cheated people out of money, and said with a smile: "You might as well pinch your fingers first and calculate what I want to count?"
The old Taoist priest didn't dare to talk nonsense for a while, got up and made a gesture to give the bench to the customer who had finally taken the bait, and sat in the old willow pit with his buttocks, taking the opportunity to look at the mediocre-looking young man out of the corner of his eye, and after sitting firmly, he stretched out two fingers and twisted his goatee, and was silent.
Xu Fengnian couldn't hold back his smile, and he was not in a hurry to speak, in fact, this business that pays attention to acting skills is nothing more than four links of blind talk to solve disasters and ask for money, one link after another, if nothing goes wrong, he can almost earn copper money.
The old Taoist priest's eyes wandered, and he said softly: "Childe is here to calculate official luck." β
Xu Fengnian shook his head.
The old guy sighed, "Measure your fortune." β
Xu Fengnian still shook his head.
The old man finally couldn't sit still, and if he couldn't be blinded again, wouldn't the fat in his mouth fly out of the bowl. Xu Fengnian did not continue to embarrass this fortune gentleman who had obviously lived a dull life, and said with a smile: "Actually, the old immortals have guessed correctly, not only whether the official luck can be prosperous, but also whether the financial luck is accessible." β
The old man was relieved, nodded lightly, and said, "This immortal has always had no last resort. β
has a beginning that is not embarrassing, and the next thing is the nonsense, Xu Fengnian does not expose it, nodding from time to time to echo a few words, the old Taoist priest spat everywhere, and his face is flying. Xu Fengnian had exchanged some broken silver at the inn, and after listening to the good words that the future may not be bright, he took out a grain of broken silver and prepared to go home, and the eyes of the old Taoist priest who had not touched the silver for more than half a year suddenly lit up, and when the broken silver was placed on the table, he grabbed it and put it in his sleeve at the speed of lightning and thunder, and then said with a smile: "Childe, when was you born, this immortal can help you calculate it again, this is not money." β
Xu Fengnian had already left the bench with his buttocks, and after sitting down again, he laughed softly: "Don't talk about mine first, you help me calculate my father, he is Shen Shi." β
The old Taoist priest pretended to groan, and then asked the specific day of the copper leak in a hundred moments, and then said slowly: "This is not a very good time, it is the fate of leaving the hometown in the early years, and the brothers and sisters also died early. β
The old Taoist priest saw the slumber in front of him, and thought that he had said something wrong, and was thinking about changing his words in the future, but he was afraid that the silver in his sleeve would be asked to go back, but he didn't expect that this young man asked him about the fate of his eldest sister and second sister, and knew the time and time, the old Taoist priest made a fool of himself, pinched his fingers and counted it, and said a few words hard, did not dare to say more, believed in the purpose of saying less and making fewer mistakes, and cautiously glanced at Brother Gongzi, the latter's lips trembled, squeezed out a smile and said when he was born, the old Taoist priest quietly wiped his sweat, pretended to be calm and said: "Not bad, the son is a clean and handsome appearance, early wisdom and cleverness, a lot of blessings in life, the blessings of your father and mother are shared with you, the first luck is slightly bumpy, the middle luck is hard, but the late luck is good, so the son does not need to worry too much. β
The old Xiangshi hesitated for a moment and said: "This son, this immortal has a lot of words, and the son's family has more or less lost their luck because of you." β
He hurriedly added: "But the childe's family is not bad, and they don't care about this." β
Under the old willow, the young man and the old gentleman looked at each other.
Su Su, who was wandering here, was thinking that there was still a fool to tell the old liar, and then he saw the guy whose head was kicked by a donkey scattering a handful of broken silver, and the next scene made him feel even more incredible.
Su Su turned around, planning to go back to his shop to be scolded, rolled his eyes and muttered, "This guy is really sick!"
A young man in a foreign land, sitting under a withered old tree, did not cry, but only wept there. My QT room is open!Beacon Opera Princes Official QT Room No.[1655]
