Chapter 12: Strange Things
After listening to Wang Jianguo's words, I am sure that he is the one who wrote that IOU!
If it's just the same name, it may be a coincidence, but the details that the other party just said about that master clearly refer to grandpa.
"Remember this?"
I took out the IOU, put it on the table and pushed it in front of him.
Wang Jianguo was stunned when he saw it, and then picked it up in disbelief and took a closer look.
"It's... This is the IOU I wrote to the master back then, how could it be with you!? ”
Wang Jianguo recognized the look of nostalgia behind the IOU, but he was more shocked, as if I was a ghost in front of him.
I can also understand his feelings, after all, the IOU written many years ago is in the hands of a stranger in the roadside shop many years later, and no one can believe it.
"If there is no accident, the master in your mouth is Huang Chengyuan, and I am his grandson." I smiled.
At this time, I vaguely guessed the real reason why my grandfather left this IOU.
"It turns out that you are the grandson of Huang Lao, no wonder you are so capable!" Wang Jianguo suddenly realized, and his emotions were a little excited.
I thought for a moment and asked, "Did my grandfather tell you a hexagram back then?" ”
Grandpa left this IOU, as if to guide me and Wang Jianguo to get married.
"Counted!"
Wang Jianguo nodded again and again, and continued: "At the beginning, Huang Lao gave me fifty yuan, and after telling me those words, he also asked me for my birthday, saying that meeting is fate, and giving me a hexagram. ”
"Oh? What did my grandfather say? "I have some expectant inquiries.
I feel as if my grandfather had calculated what would happen today many years ago.
My fortune-telling attainments are still low, and I am not sure if my grandfather can really calculate the distant future, so I can only speculate through Wang Jianguo's words.
"Huang Lao finished the hexagram, let me go north and don't look back, stop when I reach the crossroads, and the first store I saw is where my chance is."
Wang Jianguo recalled with embarrassment what happened back then.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't believe your grandfather at first, but he gave me money and encouraged me, and I was embarrassed to shirk it."
"I just thought that I didn't say what I wanted to do anyway, just leave this experience, which can be regarded as an explanation to Huang Lao."
"I didn't expect me to do what Huang Lao said, and the first store I saw turned out to be a lottery station!"
Hearing this, I blinked in surprise, grandpa asked Wang Jianguo to buy lottery tickets?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but observe the part of his face in the early years, and soon it dawned on me that I had the answer in my heart.
"When the lottery first appeared a few years ago, it was highly sought after, and many people dreamed of getting rich overnight, of course I did."
"Plus Huang Lao gave fifty yuan, and said that there was my chance, so I walked in and bought a few bets, and the lottery was about to be drawn."
"As a result, I didn't expect to win 3,000 yuan directly!"
Speaking of this, Wang Jianguo seems to have returned to the past, very excited.
I smiled indifferently, of course he would, and his face showed that he would have a windfall in his early years, and Wang Jianguo had only made a fortune since then.
Grandpa must have seen it, and calculated that the time had come, even if it wasn't to buy lottery tickets, Wang Jianguo would make a windfall from somewhere else.
Wang Jianguo continued: "That's a full 3,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the income of an ordinary worker for more than a year, I regretted it at the time, I knew that I wouldn't have bought all 50 yuan in the meeting." ”
"I wanted to continue to buy it, but Huang Lao appeared and stopped me and told me to stop, and I will do business in a down-to-earth manner in the future."
I nodded secretly, it was wise to take it when I saw it.
As the saying goes, people are not rich without windfalls, and horses are not fertile without night grass.
Windfalls are good and bad, not all windfalls refer to those that are ill-gotten gains.
A windfall like Wang Jianguo is destined to happen, but if you are not greedy enough, good things may turn into bad things.
I remember last year there was a person who won more than 100,000 lotteries, but did not stop, delusional that good luck would always be favored, so he continued to buy lottery tickets, and the more he bought, the bigger he became, he became a real gambler, and finally ended up with a poor and white wife.
"At that time, I wanted to return the money to Huang Lao, but Huang Lao said that he didn't want to repay the good fate and didn't want to accept the money, so I had to beg Bai Lai to write an IOU to Huang Lao."
"I didn't specify how much money was on the IOU, I wanted Huang Lao to fill it out by himself, if I really make a fortune in the future, no matter what the number is, as long as Huang Lao shows up with the IOU, even if the family is bankrupt, I will repay this kindness."
"But what I didn't expect was..."
Speaking of this, Wang Jianguo's eyes showed a bit of sadness and sighed.
Then I eased my mood and got up and bowed solemnly to me, I was startled and hurried to stop him.
"Little brother, I have no chance to repay Huang Lao's kindness, you will be my benefactor in the future, but wherever it is useful for my Wang Jianguo, even if you open your mouth, even if you go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, it is incumbent!"
Seeing Wang Jianguo's serious face, I sighed secretly.
Maybe grandpa is no longer there, so let's take it as a grandson who took this worship for grandpa.
Thinking of this, my grandfather's kind face came to mind, and my nose couldn't help but be a little sour, so I had to tear away the topic and ask, "You just said that something happened?" Can you tell me about it? ”
Wang Jianguo and his grandfather are old acquaintances, and my grandfather left an IOU to guide me to meet him, which should be for me to help Wang Jianguo solve his troubles.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Wang Jianguo's chick nodded violently like a peck of rice, and then spoke eloquently.
I listened to him quietly, and slowly learned about the strange things that happened to Wang Jianguo.
Although Wang Jianguo has already been married, the couple have always respected each other and loved each other.
However, he has had no children for many years, and there has been no movement for many years of seeking medical advice.
It wasn't until a few months ago that his wife finally became pregnant, but Wang Jianguo was so happy that he directly waved his hand and bought a luxury villa for his wife to raise a baby comfortably.
This is not surprising, after all, it is normal for rich people to buy a luxury villa to raise a baby.
However, the strange thing is that after moving into the villa, strange things start to happen.
First, his wife broke her foot inexplicably on the ground, and then she was lying on the sofa watching TV, and suddenly she had fetal gas and began to bleed, which finally caused the child to miscarry!
These may be said to be coincidences, after all, the broken foot is normal, and the miscarriage may also be due to fetal instability, or the weakness of the pregnant woman.
Wang Jianguo was devastated when he learned the news, after all, the child he was conceived with great difficulty was gone in just a few months.
But at this point, he can only reluctantly accept the reality.
After his wife recovered and was picked up from the hospital, strange things continued to happen.
One night, the couple was sleeping in the bedroom, and suddenly woke up by a sound and found that the mirror in the bedroom bathroom was inexplicably broken!
