As the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens. Pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, all rushing home to cook.

At the gate of a century-old temple on the land of China, a young man set up a stall there. At this time, the man looked up at the sky, stood up and stretched, then put away the gossip cloth and the sticker at his feet, and put away the small chair behind him and put it in his backpack.

Looking at him like this, he is only more than twenty years old. He is like a jade tree, with long eyebrows on both sides of the high nose bridge on the jade face, and a pair of bright eyes like stars under the eyebrows.

is so young, such a dignified-looking person, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a fortune teller, and it should be a little white face at the very least. But he is a fortune teller, and he is also the most famous fortune teller in the city.

The young man's name was Xiao Shizhu, his parents died early, and his relatives disliked him as a boy, and they would give him the trouble of marrying a wife and having children in the future and were unwilling to adopt him, so they sent him to an orphanage.

When he was in the orphanage, he was lonely and had the best relationship with the janitor. And coincidentally, before the uncle came to the orphanage to see the gate, he happened to be a famous god because he had been in the bureau several times and was subjected to ideological education, so he was what he is today.

Soon after the two met, they became more and more in love, and the uncle, who was also unrelated and unreasonable, regarded him as his own grandson, and quietly handed him some thousand techniques in private.

And the so-called thousand arts, to put it bluntly, deceive, but don't underestimate it because it is a deception, the sophistry of the soldier is also the trick, in fact, it is also a thousand arts. And the uncle's teaching of Xiao Shizhu's thousand techniques is the essence of this academic, which can steal the country and cheat money, and is very powerful.

The uncle's original intention was to let Xiao Shizhu study hard, and when he grew up and entered the society, he would become an official, and then use a thousand skills to gain a foothold in the officialdom and glorify his ancestors, but he never thought that soon after leaving the orphanage, Xiao Shizhu would become a fortune teller and a street liar.

He just entered the society at the beginning of the construction site to move bricks, and later because of offended the contractor, he simply began to use a thousand skills to show people's fate, insight into the psychology of each visitor, and talk nonsense after prescribing the right medicine; Therefore, except for the occasional chase by the chengguan, no guest has scolded him or felt that he was not allowed to arrest him into the bureau or something.

Not only that, but gradually he became a so-called "master" known to everyone on the streets. Many Mrs. Kuo and nouveau riche came to visit him, and some people actually took him to their homes in a car to tell their fortunes.

Of course, Xiao Shizhu is not a gentleman, and while he went to see the fate of these rich people, he did not forget to pry a bamboo pole fiercely. Because of this, in just a few years, he became rich. At the same time, in order to crack down on his peers, he didn't forget to find a few people to threaten and intimidate his competitors when he had money. Or hire someone to settle things in front of your peers, and deliberately smash other people's stalls when it's over.

But because he has done a lot of evil things, he should have lived a long life, and he has lost his life again and again. Today, when the four seas are peaceful, and there is no riot in foreign countries, it seems to be an ordinary day when he dies.

After putting away the stall, Xiao Shizhu went to the snack bar near the temple and had a good meal, which was regarded as a reward for his "hard work" today.

After eating and drinking, Xiao Shizhu, who had a full burp, patted his slightly bulging belly, and slowly walked out of the snack bar after giving the money while picking his teeth.

When I left the store, the sun had completely dissipated, and the coolness and darkness enveloped the earth. Xiao Shizhu stood in front of the store for a few seconds, and after recognizing the road by the street lamp that had only been lit up for a long time, he hummed a little song and went to his residence.

Don't look at him rich, but he is reluctant to rent an apartment, but on the edge of the city, in a remote alley without even street lights, he rents a dilapidated little attic, which is only 300 yuan a month.

When Xiao Shizhu walked to the mouth of the alley, a gust of wind blew from the depths of the alley, rolling up the confetti and dust scattered on the ground, blowing towards him, making him subconsciously pull his coat. But he still didn't realize that the crisis was lurking in the darkness not far in front of him, quietly waiting for him to come.

He had barely walked into the alley, and before he could get ten meters out, he saw a tall figure flash in the darkness on the side of the road, holding a dagger that was shining with cold light, and then the dagger was pressed against his chest.

Xiao Shizhu was startled when he saw this, and cold sweat began to break out all over his body. Frightened, he heard the other party say in a deep voice before he could calm down: "Hand over the money." ”。

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shizhu reacted, although he couldn't see the other party's face clearly, he also knew that he had encountered a robber today. At the same time, he quickly calmed down.

At this time, this narrow alley is silent, there are no street lights or people in front and behind, and most of the houses on the left and right are dilapidated, most of the people who originally lived here have already moved away, and it is useless to call for help. Xiao Shizhu scolded in his heart: "Didn't you look at the yellow calendar when you went out today?" But the money has not been taken out for a long time.

It wasn't that he was going to do something stupid about killing birds for money, but he had already heard a little about the robbers in this place. Local robbers are notoriously unrestrained, and they often take the money and do not leave, in order to prevent the police from being caught, they will always give the victim two knives before leaving.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Shizhu felt that if he gave money, he would be stabbed, and if he didn't give it, he would be stabbed, so what should he do with him?

The word "line" came out of his mouth, and before he could land, he paid a heavy price for his arrogance. The robber did not hesitate to put the dagger back in his hand, and the next second, the robber's dagger stabbed him in the heart.

It is also ironic, how did the fortune-telling "master" Xiao Shizhu know that the robbers he met today did not intend to take his life, but only wanted to rob money; if he gave money, even if it was only three melons and two dates, he would still be able to live.

It can be ironic and ironic, but fate is like this, the king of Hades let you die on the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch? This is the ultimate reason why Xiao Shizhu made a mistake in judgment and made an irreparable impulsive move.

At first, when the dagger pierced his clothes and pierced under the skin, Xiao Shizhu did not feel pain, but felt a warmth in his chest, and then there were bursts of pain from the wound one after another, flowing down his veins all over his body, making his breathing gradually short.

Then the angry robber stabbed him twice in the stomach, watched him snort a few times and lean back, and after falling to the ground, he leaned down and stretched out a somewhat trembling hand to rummage through his pockets.

I didn't think about it, it's good not to look at it, but after flipping it, I took out a handful of dark coins. With the faint light of the slowly rising stars and moon shining on the earth, after seeing clearly that what he was holding in his hand was a handful of dark coins, the robbers who were so bold that they dared to kill people without blinking an eye in a legal society were also directly frightened.

I saw him sit on the ground all of a sudden, looking at Xiao Shizhu, whose mouth and nose were bleeding, his eyes widened, and his body involuntarily retreated.

How could he have guessed that Xiao Shizhu, who always pretended to be a ghost in the past, really believed in the theory that there were gods and ghosts in the world over time, and knew that his daily nonsense was very damaging to yin morality, and he also believed that money could make ghosts grind.

Although Xiao Shizhu is not a person who cherishes his life, he is also afraid that he will die for no reason one day because of the damage to Yin Virtue. Therefore, he has no relatives and no reason, and he always carries a lot of large denominations in his pocket in case of emergency.

And the money he earned in the yang world was hidden in the mezzanine of his clothes.

The robber was so frightened that he didn't even dare to look through the rest of his pocket. In a panic, he hurriedly threw the coin in his hand, got up and ran away. In the blink of an eye, he stumbled and disappeared into the dark alley.

And Xiao Shizhu, who was lying on the ground, only felt that he was getting less and less in, and more and more breathing, and his body was getting colder and colder, and his consciousness was dissipating little by little.
