Chapter 38: The Carpenter's Hexagram Stall
At that time, I didn't know what to do, so I had to go home and look for the old walnuts.
But when I got home, the old walnut was gone. Before he left, he didn't know what method to use, so he changed the robe I got back, folded it neatly and put it on the kang, and pressed 3,000 yuan underneath. I know that should be all his savings.
When he left, he didn't say anything, but painted me a picture of an eagle flying high.
The old walnut told me that the eagle in the mountain is like the eagle in the mountain, and when the eagle cub grows up, the eagle will fly in different directions with it from south to north, and from then on, the eagle cub will never get along with each other, so that the eagle cub can find its own territory.
"After you leave the school, I will also leave you and never see each other again."
I thought that the old walnut was talking about playing, but I didn't expect him to play really, and he walked so decisively.
He probably had planned to leave, but he was worried about whether I would be able to get back from the mountains, so he put it off until now.
Will the old walnut be overdue?
He said that the eagles who were dying would find a place to bury themselves before they died, and they would never be seen to fall because of weakness. Old Walnut is already in his nineties, he won't be ......
My heart ached, and I rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find something. It wasn't until I found out that Old Walnut didn't leave his eighteen throwing knives behind that I was relieved.
If he left the throwing knife behind, it means that he is really about to reach his limit; The fact that he didn't leave the last of his family alone means that he will come to me sooner or later. Thinking about this, my heart feels a little better.
However, when I opened my robe, tears flowed uncontrollably......
Old Walnut changed the robe to a style that was popular in the game at the time. At that time, only the county seat had an Internet café, and there was only one computer in our village, which was still locked like a treasure.
I don't know how old Walnut used to get the style of this dress, but I know that he must have begged for someone softly, otherwise who would find him a pattern?
Although these old walnuts have taken me to sew and mend a lot, he always feels that clothes can be worn without revealing their cheeks. Sometimes I have to find a way to mend the clothes after he finishes them.
Unexpectedly, before the old walnut left, he made me a dress.
I was an orphan since I was a child, and Old Walnut was my master and my father. He left quietly, saying that it was not uncomfortable, that was false, no matter how strong I was, it would take a while to get used to it.
After I stayed at home for a week, I found Gao Datou, took a reward of 20,000 yuan from him, and repeatedly told him to come to my house from time to time to help me see if the old walnut had returned, and then I entered the city with the ribs.
Originally, Gao Datou wanted me to stay and work with him, but I didn't want to just nest in the mountains, hang around the mountains all my life, or live by dancing gods.
In order to avoid the tall head looking for me, I simply walked far away, took the ribs all the way north, and passed several cities before settling down.
When I entered the city, I gave it out, and with the little money in my pocket, it was okay to settle in the city, but it was more difficult than climbing to the sky if I wanted to live.
At that time, I was looking for a job everywhere, but people like me who had no skills and no education didn't even pay attention to me when they got to the talent market. In the end, I really had no choice, so I set up a hexagram stall near the Ligong Market.
It didn't take long for me to become an outlier in the force market. In the whole labor market, there is no one like me, with a hexagram stall on the left and carpenter's tools on the right.
Actually, I don't want to do this, but there are few fortune tellers, so I have to pick up a little bit of everything. Otherwise, let alone feeding the ribs, it doesn't even matter if I have food or not!
That day, I was leaning against the corner with my eyes closed and waiting for work, when I suddenly heard someone laughing next to me: "You see that fortune teller is really interesting, with carpenter's tools by his side." Still rubbing walnuts in his hands. It looks like a friend who has a little fairy wind bones? ”
It was a woman who spoke, and her voice was very sweet, but I didn't open my eyes to look at her. There are so many people who talk like this all day long, and if I talk to them one by one, my voice will be hoarse.
Soon I heard someone disdainfully say, "Two dollars is a hexagram, what's so beautiful." There are more such people next to the train station. ”
The girl seemed to be a little unconvinced: "You see how well he writes on the hexagram stall, he can't get down without seven or eight years of skills." I don't think he's a liar. ”
"How can a liar say he is a liar now? Besides, how do you know that he wrote it? The man sneered: "We are talking so loudly, you can't hear him?" He's pretending to be a superior with his eyes closed! ”
"Humph!" The girl was upset and snorted and did not speak again.
The man probably felt embarrassed because he was slapped in public by the girl, and a fire was all on me, so he walked in front of my hexagram stall in a few steps and kicked me on the hexagram tube: "Hey! Get up! ”
I opened my eyes and glared at the other person: "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
I've killed people and slashed ghosts, and if I really want to get angry, I will unconsciously bring murder in my eyes. The man was so frightened by me that he took two steps back before he stood still.
At this time, I saw that the person who kicked my stall was a middle-aged man in his forties, and he was followed by two bodyguards, who seemed to have a bit of identity. The girl he was talking to was probably in her early twenties, and she was pretty good-looking. When she saw that the man kicked my stall, she quickly ran over and grabbed his arm: "Why are you so angry?" What are you doing? Don't get into trouble. ”
The man just now was really frightened by me, but as soon as the girl came over, he immediately straightened his waist again: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just looking for him to calculate a hexagram to see if he can calculate accurately." ”
The girl looked around before slowly letting go: "Forget it, don't bully people." ”
"Look at what you say, how can I?" The man took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and shook it in front of my eyes: "You calculate a hexagram for me, it's accurate, this is yours." ”
I glanced at the other person, "What do you want to count?" ”
The man smiled and threw the money on my stall: "Anything, as long as it is approved immediately, I will give the money immediately." ”
"I'm you, and if you take three steps, you have to fall on your heels." I finished and closed my eyes again.
"Are you sick?" The man stood up suddenly: "I'm such an adult, can I fall on the flat road?" I'll take three steps to show you now, and if you don't fall, I'll smash your stall right away! Xiaoyue, don't stop me, I have to compete with him today. ”
The man pushed away the girl who was holding him back, turned to me and shouted, "Keep your eyes open! ”
"Look at it or not, you'll have to fall." I didn't even bother to open my eyes.
"Everybody is watching! One step! Two steps! Three...... Oops—"
I figured that when he had reached the third step, he played a trick, and one of the wandering ghosts crouching in the shadow of the corner immediately stretched out his foot and tripped over the man, and he fell to the ground on the spot.
While the man was still grinning on the ground, I had already collected the money he had thrown on the stall: "The money is mine." ”
"Not counting!" The man stood up with his bodyguard: "This time it must be you!" Count again! That's right, I'll double the money for you! ”
"That's fine." I said unhurriedly, "You take three more steps, and you fall on your heels." This time it's a face-down fall. ”
"I don't believe it!" The man pushed the bodyguard away and strode forward.
This time he didn't go up to the wall, and the geist didn't dare to go out and trip him. I quietly pulled a small stone from the ground and snapped it on the other man's leg and wrist as he took the third step.
The man was numb in the leg from being beaten by me, and a dog gnawed and fell to the ground. If it weren't for the speed of the bodyguards around him, he would at least have to fall and his mouth would be full of blood. The people around him suddenly burst into laughter, and the man stood up with a red face and a thick neck: "You count again!" I don't believe ......."
"Forget it! Don't forget it! The one named Xiaoyue hurriedly grabbed him: "Don't forget it!" What do you do with a fortune teller? ”
"No way!" The man probably didn't want to lose face in front of the woman: "I have to make a four, five or six with him today!" ”
At this time, his bodyguard also followed: "Boss, we have met a master." Heroes don't suffer from immediate losses......"
"Superior? Just him? The man's voice rose several degrees.
"Quietly......" The bodyguard wanted to go over and cover his mouth.
