Chapter 379: Mutual Fear and Survival (9)

An old man holding a cloth banner and his eyes surrounded by a black square scarf walked in from outside the city.

The old clothes are not so simple, and even look a little dirty, but his temperament is so...

Scary?

The old Taoist banner reads "Ask divination and fortune telling", and he holds a banner in his left hand and a bamboo stick, and follows the crowd into the city.

The aura of this old Taoist is too strong, and at this time, there are countless Taoist priests in this city, so I really can't find other people I don't know to divination.

Lao Dao seemed to be looking for business, deliberately looking for a place to sit in the crowded place, with his eyes wrapped in a black square scarf, looking around, people couldn't help but wonder if his blindness was a fake or a real thing.

Lao Dao didn't seem to have any business here, and with a sigh of disappointment, he stood up, leaned on the wooden branch he picked up anywhere, and walked towards the other side.

Of course, the appearance of an old Taoist will not cause an uproar, and it will not even attract the attention of many people, after all, their attention is now taken away by a group of people, and there is an endless stream of people going to the yamen.

Anyway, the idle ones are also panicking, so it's better to go out with so many people to have fun.

The old Taoist priest stopped and went, but he didn't find a place conducive to his opening.

"The old Taoist priest is a hexagram?"

"Poor Dao, this fortune telling is about fate, and if fate is not enough, it is a leak of heaven."

"Cut, who doesn't know that your Taoist divination is fake, in order to cheat people out of money! Don't worry, old Taoist, this young master is rich, but he is bored, and I want to talk to you Taoist priests about something nice. ”

"Poor Dao said, the time has not yet come, and you can't reveal the secret of heaven!"

"Old Taoist, you are a little ignorant, this young master will not treat you badly, it is difficult to buy the master with money, you don't need to reveal the secret of heaven, you just say a few words casually."

"Nope."

"I see that your old Taoist clothes are not very good, and the words written on your cloth banner are crooked, you must not ask someone to write, plus you are physically disabled, why don't you have money to earn?"

"Listen to Young Master Ben's words, say a few nice words, and Young Master Ben will reward you with this money!"

It's just that this old Taoist priest was unmoved, and even wanted to bypass this young master.

"You, an old Taoist, even ignore Young Master Ben, come here, stop this old Taoist, I just want him to say a few nice words today."

The young master's subordinates looked at their own young master, and said helplessly: "Young master, if we don't give someone else, who are you giving this money to?" ”

"No! Today, Young Master Ben is going to give it to him, you look at this old man's clothes, it looks like he hasn't washed his clothes for a long time, and he is still a blind man, no one takes care of this kind of person, and no one knows if he dies in the wilderness. ”

"But young master, you..."

"People are running away, don't talk nonsense, hurry up, stop people for me!"

Several subordinates surrounded the old Taoist priest in frustration, and one of the subordinates said with a pleasant face: "Daoist, you're welcome, my son-in-law is such a person, he often likes to give alms..."

"Bah, no, don't be surprised, my young master is just helping others, there is no other malice, he also saw the poverty of the Taoist you did this."

"Don't look at our young master, but he is really a master who has a heart for the world and is willing to give, but this way of helping people is a little strange."

The old Taoist priest said: "Since your son likes to be kind and charitable, then please persuade him to change someone, the poor road is neither poor nor difficult." ”

Listening to the words of the old Taoist, this subordinate was choked, there is no way to do it, he has been with their young master for so long, of course he knows their young master's temperament.

But looking at the lord in front of him, no matter how you look at it, he is the same stubborn temper as his own young master.

"Dao Chief, you can have pity on us, it's not easy for us to be subordinates."

The old Taoist priest frowned and said, "Since the prince of your mansion likes to be kind and charitable so much, then it is good to send the silver taels directly." ”

"No."

The face of this subordinate is much more miserable than just now, and the miserable appearance is really unbearable.

"Why?"

"Dao Chief, although my son-in-law is kind and charitable, he doesn't like to let people get something for nothing, my young master said, this is to cultivate people's hardships and stand hard work? Can't get something for nothing? ”

It seems that this servant did not understand what his young master wanted to do.

"So Dao Chief, you are the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering, you can pity us and say a few nice words to our young master."

The old Taoist priest laughed, and then said: "I think you are mistaken, it is not Guanyin who worships the poor Taoist. ”

"It's... Hey, whatever, didn't you go down the mountain just to save the suffering? ”

Just when this subordinate was in the river, the young master stood behind them and coughed lightly, "Old Taoist, have you thought about calculating a hexagram for this young master?" ”

The subordinate hurriedly gave the old Taoist priest a look, seeing that the subordinate was about to blink his eyes away, but he didn't realize that the object of his gaze was a blind man with his eyes surrounded by a black square scarf?

As if he felt the pleading of the subordinate, or was moved by the subordinate's words, the old Taoist priest put the wooden stick in his hand in his other hand, and the remaining hand was directly stretched out in mid-air.

"Stretch out your hand, and the old way will take a look at it for the son."

The young master and his subordinates were stunned at the same time, one was wondering if his subordinates were threatening the old man again, and the other was thinking about why the old Taoist priest suddenly changed his mind.

"This son, I'll make an exception for you to take a look, do you stretch out your hand for the time being?"

The old Taoist priest said another sentence before dragging the child's thoughts back from the subordinate, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, the old Taoist priest, you can just say a few nice words to me casually." ”

The old Taoist priest shook his head, "Poor Dao doesn't like to deceive people, so the son will borrow your hand." ”

This boy coughed lightly and glared at his subordinates, and when he reluctantly put his hand in the old Taoist's hand, he suddenly rolled his eyes, and directly dragged his subordinate's hand over and put it on the old Taoist's hand suspended in the air.

The old Taoist priest grabbed the hand that was sent up, which made the subordinate startled, and in the murderous eyes of his own son, he didn't pull his hand out of it.

The old Taoist priest touched left and right, pondered for a moment, and then said: "This my son, poor Dao advises you not to worry in the future, some things can't be asked, all this is destined by God, if it is really difficult to give up, poor Dao suggests that you seek medical treatment as soon as possible." ”

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he put down his hand directly, and took the wooden stick in his other hand from Xin.

"Well, what the old Taoist said... Well, that's good! Reward! ”

Several subordinates also looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know what the old Taoist priest said, and their young master didn't understand it.

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and reward!"

The little boy who was standing behind this boy came over, took out a piece of silver from his arms, and put it in the hands of the old Taoist priest.

"It's too little, reward again!"

"Oh!"

He took out a piece of silver from his bosom and put it in the old Taoist priest's hand, and then nodded with satisfaction.

The old Taoist priest smiled, took the silver into his arms, and made a joke in the direction of the young master, only then knocked on the ground and left their sight.

This boy looked at his motionless subordinates, this was the subordinate who he had just put his hand into the hands of the old Taoist priest.

Seeing that he looked like he had something on his mind, my son-in-law asked, "Old Fang, what's wrong with you?" Could it be that you have really been calculated by others? ”

This subordinate sighed and said with a wry smile: "Young master, this is a true immortal!" ”

Brother Gongzi rolled his eyes, what kind of fairy is this, obviously he has learned a little bit of medical skills, but he is too lazy to debunk his deception.

It's just that Lao Fang has an obvious problem, he has already guessed it, waiting for Lao Fang to speak himself, but he just doesn't say it, and now when he encounters such an opportunity, he doesn't bother to wait for Lao Fang to open his mouth.

So, he said to Lao Fang: "What's wrong Lao Fang, you have been with me for so long, you should know my temper, if you have any difficulties, say it directly!" ”

"Young master, my girl is getting married."

"It's a good thing, is that man so blessed to marry Fang Qin?"

"Young master, I know that this is a good thing, and the other party's family is also considered to be solid, but the bad thing is that the other party's family background is too good."

The boy was stunned for a moment, and then asked cautiously: "Could it be because you can't afford to pay the dowry?" ”

The old man didn't speak, and sighed heavily, it seemed that he was right.

"What a big deal, Fang Qin's dowry, this young master is out, no matter how you say it, it's half of my sister, how can I let my sister be wronged."

"But, young master, I'm..."

"But what is it, you came to my house to work, you are half of my family, what is there in your own family, you still need to be polite!"

After listening to his young master's words, Lao Fang had already begun to secretly touch his tears, but he was slapped heavily behind him by his young master.

"It's not a big deal for a man to have tears and not flick, it's worth crying there! Well, every day is done! Let's go home, let's go and prepare Fang Qin's dowry! ”

Several subordinates were a little moistened with tears by the words of the young master of his family, this was the first time they felt that it was not bad to be a subordinate.

A guy came over and hammered him on the chest and said, "Old Fang, you're really not interesting!" You carried such a big thing by yourself, and you didn't say that you discussed it with the brothers, could it be that you look down on us? ”

"That's it, Fang Qin's eldest niece is getting married, you don't say it, are you afraid that your brothers will go to your house to drink happy wine?"

Talking and laughing, noisy and noisy, no one cared about this encounter, let alone that the old Taoist priest already knew what he wanted to know.
