The morning light is faint, the curfew is over...

The patrol soldiers of Hongyang City yawned and opened the city gate, it was still the morning meeting of twenty-five or eighty...

The vendors who set up the stalls shouted, the pedestrians who rushed to the market chatted with each other, and the apricot yellow recruitment list on the notice board was still eye-catching...

It's business as usual...

Xu Boqing strolled on the street, looking at the passers-by, thinking of himself a year ago, penniless, in order to fill his stomach, borrowing a stall to tell fortunes...

It was as if it happened yesterday.

Perhaps because of his revisit, he felt more and more that the time of the year had passed too quickly, too quickly...

Seeing the steamed bun shop on the side of the road, he sat down at the table and said with a smile: "Boss, give me twenty fresh meat buns to eat here." ”

"Wow~twenty..."

The boss was busy with business in front of the shop, and after hearing someone asking for twenty buns, he reminded without replying: "Guest officer, our big buns have thin skin and thick filling, and ordinary people are full after eating three or five, are you sure you want twenty?" ”

"Sure, twenty."

Xu Boqing got up and went to make a bowl of spicy soup and pickles, poured some oil and spicy seeds, sat back at the table and took a sip, and suddenly felt appetizing, it was still the same taste...

"Guest officer, here are your twenty buns~"

The boss directly took the two steamed buns in the drawer, put them on the table, and sandwiched out a plate of the buns in the drawer...

"Guest officer, I won't tell you, I've been selling steamed buns here for thirty years, and it's really rare for a guest officer to be able to eat twenty steamed buns in one go, and the last time I saw it was estimated was a year ago."

"Oh?"

Xu Boqing smiled slightly when he heard this, and asked, "Does the boss remember what that person looks like?" ”

"I can't remember exactly, but I don't lie to you~"

The owner of the steamed bun shop saw that his face was a little strange, and thought he didn't believe it, and said: "I remember that it was still a young man, and he may not be as old as you. ”

"Uh... Hahaha. ”

Xu Boqing smiled, and he didn't know what he thought, and said in a teasing tone: "Xu is boss, your bun is too fragrant, the soup is too appetizing, or maybe the young man was too hungry at the time~"

"Hahaha..."

The owner of the bun shop saw that he was dressed and bearing, and wanted to talk more, but when he saw that someone outside the shop came to buy buns...

So he said as if selling: "Guest officer, you use it slowly, if these twenty buns can be eaten in our store, I will give you a free order~"

"Okay, boss, you're busy."

Xu Boqing waved his hand, and began to deal with the two steamed buns in front of him with pickles...

It's still the same smell...

After eating, seeing that the owner of the bun shop was still busy in front of the shop, he said in a teasing tone: "Boss, all your twenty big buns have entered my stomach." ”

The owner of the steamed bun shop glanced back when he heard this, and after seeing that the buns in the two drawers were eaten clean, he smiled heartily: "Guest officer, you go to yours, I invited this order." ”

"Boss Gao Yi ~~"

Xu Boqing arched his hand, and when he went out, he casually took out a small piece of broken silver, and with a flick of his fingers, the broken silver fell silently into the pocket of the owner of the bun shop...

Following his memory, he circled around in the morning, and when he saw the fortune-telling booth in the corner, he frowned.

The fortune-telling sail hanging behind the stall reads 'Divine Clever Calculation Jun Must Ask' and 'Fortune Calculation Qiankun Dao Miaoxian', which was written when he borrowed Liu Laogen's booth to entangle......

At this time, Liu Laogen was sitting in front of the stall, rubbing the goatee on his chin with one hand, and rubbing the hand of a woman from a good family who came to tell fortunes with the other, eating other people's tofu for the sake of palmistry.

I didn't notice at all that the 'junior brother' who was looking for Miss Wang a year ago was looking at me on the side of the street at this time...

Xu Boqing shook his head, seeing that he was alive, and he didn't seem to have stopped thinking of stepping forward to talk because he was smashed the signboard.

Suddenly...

He paused for a moment, and actually saw the benefactor surnamed Niu he met when he was setting up a stall to tell fortunes...

It's just that Niu Ben at this time has changed a little bit compared with a year ago...

Xu Boqing frowned slightly...

In his impression, although this 'Niu Ye' is the kind of gambler who can grind cocoons on his hands, he is not bad in terms of family background or his own spirit.

And now, he still has a string of money in his hand, a wealth charm hanging around his waist, and he is not badly dressed, obviously his family background is quite solid...

The strange thing is that at this time, his Yin Tang was black, his face was sallow, and his steps were a little empty, but even his eyes were a lot cloudy, and he looked like he was ten years old.

There is also a faint strange aura on his body...

The face is sallow, and the pace is weak, which may be caused by a serious illness, but Yintang is black and shows the appearance of dying, and there is a strange atmosphere on his body, so what is the explanation?

Xu Boqing thought about it for a while, but he didn't understand what was going on, and when he saw the cow running to Liu Laogen's stall, his eyes were slightly condensed, and the characters in his sight showed a vision like a faded painting...

Under the observation of the 'Heavenly Eye', it can be clearly seen that Niu Ben is wrapped around a looming silk thread, and the most bizarre thing is that his body has collapsed, and his internal organs are like an old man who is about to die, almost exhausted.

This......

At this time, Liu Laogen had just sent the female benefactor away, and when he saw Niu Ben yawning and coming, he smiled and complimented: "What kind of wind is this today, actually blowing Niu Ye here?" ”

"Come less, come less..."

Niu Ben rubbed his waist and sat on the small bench, and asked as usual: "Old man Liu, do you really have no junior brother?" ”

“……”

Liu Laogen secretly complained, since last year, a thief pretended to be his junior brother to occupy a stall to tell fortunes, this Niu Ben would come here every few days to inquire about the clues of the 'junior brother'.

No matter how he explains it, this man just doesn't believe it...

He said with a bitter face: "Master Niu, I really didn't lie to you, that Taoist priest is really not my junior brother, besides, I haven't worshiped my teacher here, where is my junior brother?" ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Niu Ben secretly said to himself, and said a few times in a row, it was a pity.

On that day a year ago, he went to the gambling stall with the money after telling his fortune, and at first he won less and lost more, and he was secretly angry and wanted to smash the fortune-telling stall...

But in the evening, he suddenly began to transfer as if he had responded to a hexagram, and he won twice as much as he could!!

It made him so happy...

Winning money is secondary, the most important thing is that the little Taoist priest is too accurate, no... Not a little Taoist... It should be the God of Wealth!

I want to invite this 'God of Wealth' home...

Won't you win every gamble in the future?

When he went to the stall to invite someone, he was told by Liu Laogen that he didn't have a 'junior brother' at all, and he didn't know any young Taoists...

The 'God of Wealth' seemed to appear out of thin air and disappear out of thin air, making him in a trance for a while.

Even now, I can't forget it...

He sighed and prepared to get up and leave, but as if he had thought of something, he asked at his feet: "Old man Liu, you are a fortune teller, do you know what is going on with my back pain?" ”

"Back pain!?"

Liu Laogen was slightly stunned, and hurriedly observed Niu Ben's face, but he didn't know what to see, squeezed out a professional smile on his face, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Niu Ye has been indulgent recently?" ”

"Indulgence? It seems to be a bit ......."

Niu Ben didn't know what to think, he sat back in front of the stall with a smile, showing an expression that a man should understand, and said: "A few days ago, there were a batch of beauties from that Siqing Fang, and the tender ones could be pinched out of the water."

Not only is the wine fragrant and the meat beautiful, but the job is even better, and I can't wait to stuff that pair of lychees into it when I am happy. ”

His voice paused, and when he saw Liu Laogen's expression, he said with some disdain: "You old man who has been abducted and deceived all day long and doesn't do business, you should really go there to see the world, and the girl there promises to suck out the marrow of the old bones you have." ”
