Chapter Twenty-Eight: Strange Men Measuring Personnel
Early the next morning, Chu Yu woke up and had breakfast, and the shopkeeper Li arranged for Chu Yu to do some registration and reception in front of the counter, which was a good and easy errand. This can be regarded as Shopkeeper Li understood the meaning of Zhao and Fang's words. Of course, everyone takes good care of Chu Yu, like the guy named Liu Jie, and often rushes to do laundry and other things for him.
After Chu Yu stayed for a while, everyone gradually became familiar with him, and everyone asked him from time to time, mainly asking him whether he had any special relationship with Shi Wanshan or some important people in the villa, and so on. At the beginning, Chu Yu didn't say much, but honestly told everyone that he had nothing to do with the person everyone asked. Everyone didn't believe what he said in their hearts, because from the words explained by Zhao and Fang, everyone felt that Chu Yu had a great background, and everyone thought that he was deliberately hiding it.
Under everyone's care, after some time, Chu Yu gradually walked out of the haze in his heart and gradually became talkative. Chu Yu couldn't stand everyone's questioning all day long, and one day, he told the truth about his tragic experience and his chance encounter with Shi Wanshan. At this time, everyone knew that Chu Yuzhen had no backstage, and after everyone knew the truth, they all expressed sympathy for him and comforted him. However, later, everyone no longer had curiosity about him, and soon became cold to him, and Shopkeeper Li's attitude towards him immediately turned 180 degrees.
Chu Yu just came out of the mountains, he didn't understand a lot of things in the world, he didn't know that the rivers and lakes were full of snobs, and he was also full of duplicitous, he thought that everyone was really good to him, but he didn't know that everyone was the unknown "Buddha" behind him. -- That is, not to look at the face of the monk, but to look at the face of the Buddha.
Chu Yu came into contact with all kinds of people in the rivers and lakes every day, and gradually adapted to the lively and noisy rivers and lakes. Later, he could not only take the initiative to greet people, but also brag with them and amuse them.
One day, a strange old man came to the inn, this man had long sideburns and beard, a calm and quiet face, and clear eyes. Everyone called him old gentleman, this old gentleman rented a room for a long time at the entrance of the inn, and he posted a couplet on the gatehouse, and the couplet was "unpredictable prophet".
The couplet reads: "Heaven, earth, man, and gods know everything, and yin and yang ghosts are all clear." ”
People who come and go to the inn and rivers and lakes see this couplet, they all know that it is a fortune teller, so every day there are many people who come and go to the old man's guest room, looking for him to measure things and tell fortunes, after everyone has calculated, the vast majority of people are stunned on the spot, and even call the old gentleman an old fairy.
One day, after Chu Yu was busy, he was also curious to come to the old man's room. At this time, the room was full of people, and one person was counting.
The man said, "Sir, please help me measure my fortune recently?"
As soon as the man's question fell, the old gentleman began to calculate. At this time, I saw him put his left hand together, and his thumb wandered between the index finger, middle finger, and nameless joint, concentrating on what he was saying, and after a while, he calculated the result.
The old gentleman said: "This life door falls on the Kun Palace, the door is reversed, first death and then life, for this business, you have been there many times before, but have not succeeded; I want to go this time, there are powerful people to help you, it is necessary to ......"
The old gentleman stopped here for a moment. When the man heard this, he smiled and nodded his head in affirmation.
The old gentleman continued: "On the way to the serpent, you have encountered something frightened, which has frightened you a lot, and this mighty man should be your son, and he is very hot-tempered. In my decision: this matter is decided, the wealth will be gained, but there will be some conflicts, and your son will be slightly injured, but it will not be a big problem......"
As soon as the old gentleman's words fell, the man's face was surprised and excited.
The man said, "Sir, you are a god, and we were indeed frightened on the way here, and in the middle of the night we heard the cry of a female ghost, who seemed to be very close to us, and frightened everyone half to death. This time I did take my son out to do this business, before that, I have been here many times, but it was not done, every time I was driven back by the head snake, we are holding the heart of success this time, my son is indeed very short-tempered, according to my judgment, my son's current martial arts are much higher than those head snakes. This time, we will definitely teach those people a good lesson. -- Old man, you are really a man of God! I hope to laugh at these broken silvers!"
After the man finished the calculation, he gave up the position, and then another person filled the position.
He said: "Sir, I want to count my wife, do you want to count her cuckolding me at home?"
As soon as he said this, the room burst into laughter, and of course Chu Yu couldn't help laughing. When this person saw that everyone was laughing at him, he kept scratching his head, looking very embarrassed. However, the old gentleman was quite calm at the time, only smiled slightly, and then the old gentleman pinched his fingers and counted again.
After the old gentleman calculated, he said: "Geng is B, Geng and B are in the same palace, and the god is Xuanwu, and the palace of B is close to Dumen, and the god of the nine lands flies to it......"
The old gentleman first talked about the game of Qimen Dunjia, and then began to make a conclusion.
The old gentleman asserted: "Your wife has always been with you inseparable, you can go to her yourself." ”
As soon as the old gentleman said this, he was surprised.
He immediately replied: "You liar! Just now, you must have played a double reed with that person, trying to cheat everyone out of money." When did I get with her? To tell you the truth, I came out alone, and my wife and I are hundreds of miles away now. Liar, liar, you're a charlatan. - Hmph!"
As soon as the man's voice fell, he went away angrily. Faced with such a situation, the old gentleman didn't care, but just smiled faintly, and then he said, "That's all for today, I'm going to rest." ”
Immediately, everyone left one after another. When this old gentleman was counting the first person, Chu Yu couldn't help but feel very amazed and amazed when he saw that he was so accurate. But when I saw that the result of the second person's calculation was wrong, I couldn't help but feel disappointed suddenly. However, Chu Yu was not affected by the second person scolding the old gentleman, and he didn't think that the old gentleman was a liar, because most people these days say that he is a god, he just thinks that the old gentleman missed this time.
