Chapter 53: Fortune telling
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, several people are also familiar with each other.
Chen Jin had some doubts in his heart, these four people seemed to be a little too casual about fame, money, etc., even Shen Fei, who had the most Jianghu atmosphere, seemed a little detached, just like a certain Taoist he had seen, who did not have much worldly aura on his body.
But the attitude of the four people is good, and it is not profitable to travel far away, so he temporarily suppressed his doubts.
The magician seems to have put himself in the role of the team's big brother, but in fact, it is also out of helplessness.
A reckless man who can stop children crying at night when he laughs, and can't beat a fart with three sticks, a cute Lori who seems to be young, and a young man with intermittent convulsions. No matter how you look at it, he is the most normal of the four.
At this time, it was already the end of the dinner, and he tentatively spoke: "Brother Chen." This is Chen Jin's request, saying that in the future, life and death will be shared, and it is good to be commensurate with brothers.
"I don't know what tasks need to be carried out urgently, so I'd like to get familiar with my brothers as soon as possible."
Chen Jin pondered for a moment and said, "There is some work, but the four younger brothers want to come and travel all the way is also very hard, why don't you rest for half a day?" ”
After speaking, he looked at the four of them, his eyebrows were clean, his clothes were neat, and he couldn't see any signs of dust, and he secretly sighed in his heart that what he said was too vain.
After the magician had a polite exchange with him, he told everyone that there were three businesses in the game at the moment.
The first is a serious dart board business, a personal dart, escorting Kuding.
This is a common business in a dart board, escorting the Kudin who works in the bank to and from work, which is a very easy task for a mature dart board, and of course, the pay will not be much.
The second item is to take care of the home of the money clerk in the east of the city.
The third is that several merchants on a street in the west of the city hired a dart master to maintain order.
The latter two tasks are also common tasks in the dart game, which are more down-to-earth.
In addition to the three major types of dart business, such as food darts, material darts, and human body darts, the dart bureau will also take care of some jobs such as princes and grandsons, court dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, and homestays, or travel with the protection of the children of nobles.
It's just that those who are willing to do these things will not be some famous dart masters in the rivers and lakes.
These businesses are much easier and more lucrative than darts, but they are very faceless.
Although it is dangerous to sleep in the open, at least there is no need to grovel and laugh with those big families, and there is no need to look at people's faces and be driven by others.
However, even if it is to protect these three groups of people, the difficulty is not the same.
The mansion of the nobles of Wang Sun itself has a large number of domestic servants and hired some dart masters, most of whom are filled with noodles, which sounds good and looks good.
Protecting the merchants is to help them maintain order in the shops, so as to prevent them from being bullied by gangsters, ruffians, hooligans and other social figures, and if anyone comes to cause trouble, the dart master is responsible for driving them away.
If the court dignitaries hire a dart master, it means that he may face the assassination of the political enemy, these assassins are here to ask for people's lives, unlike robbers, give a few dollars and send them away, this is endless, must fight with real knives and guns, so the danger is relatively high.
Chen Jin assigned a place for the four of them, Shen Fei took the dart, the magician went to Wang Yuanwai's house to work as a security guard, and the death row prisoner walked and knocked cutely to help Shang Jia maintain order.
The task of Qian Yuan's foreign family started half a month ago, and counting today, it will end in three days. There are still two days left for Shang Jia's employment, and Shen Fei's task is the shortest, just escorting Kuding off work tonight.
Several people glanced at each other, and there are exactly three tasks in the current dart game, and one of the tasks will end in three days, and it seems that the system does not give any options.
The four of them did not delay, the previous robes were not good, and they changed into a short fight, and then they each took their orders.
The magician walked alone, leaving it at that.
Since Shen Fei's mission was still early, he followed the death row prisoner to stroll and knock cuteness to go to the commercial street in the west of the city first.
The city where the four of them were at this time was called Ningcheng, and after a cursory inquiry, they found that it was not the Qing Dynasty they were familiar with, only a similar historical trajectory and dynastic environment.
Therefore, unlike the common distribution in the city in the Qing Dynasty, in Ningcheng, most of the dignitaries and local tyrants and gentry lived in the city and the east of the city, the south of the city was mostly ordinary people, the west of the city was relatively developed in commerce, and the north of the city was mixed.
It was summer and autumn, and the trees along the way were rarely pruned, and they stretched quite wantonly.
Stepping on the bluestone road, the three of them, led by another dart master surnamed Zhang, found the block where the task was issued.
When I came into view, there was a barefoot umbrella repairer; In front of him, there are hooks, pliers and other tools in front of the tooth extractor; There is also a small table in front of him, with a stick on it, and a fortune-telling stick written on the banner...... All walks of life, and so on.
A few people met with another dart master who was patrolling here, and as soon as the dart master saw his own people coming, he couldn't help but pour bitter water: "You can count it here, there are too many idle people on this street, and I am alone, even if the martial arts are high, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and some can't parry." ”
Before he could finish complaining, there was already a lot of noise in the market, and the attention of several people was immediately attracted.
I saw a few scoundrels at first glance, surrounding the fortune-telling stall.
An idler with a grass root chewing in his mouth reached out and touched the guise of fortune-telling, as if he was thinking about what to do with the fabric of the guise.
Another of his accomplices was picking up a bamboo stick from the stick, looking at it and throwing it onto the fortune-telling table, then pulling out another one from the stick, and throwing the sticks all over the table over and over again.
The leading idler stretched out his feet to hook the chair next to the stall in front of him, then sat down loudly, spit out the grass roots in his mouth, and shook his head at the fortune teller: "Old man, there was a person who told me fortune in the past, I have three odds in my life, and I will make a fortune as a big official in the future. ”
The fortune teller's face was full of bitterness, and one of his hands holding "Zhou Yi" trembled, seeing this situation, he was also helpless, and said in a low voice: "Little Lao'er, I'll give it to you, I just ask you, don't pull the guise of Xiao Lao'er anymore, and the lottery holder...... Gotcha, yes, don't talk about it, you can talk about your birthday. ”
Seeing that the three idlers were about to stretch their necks and stare at them, the fortune teller was so frightened that he didn't dare to say any more, so he had to obediently tell the idler's fortune.
The idle man tilted his head, didn't look at him, and said lightly: "Renzi, Guichou, Xinyou, Yiwei." ”
The fortune teller old man muttered: "It is indeed Non Qi Xin Sanqi, or Shun Sanqi......
-------------------------------------
PS1: PS2 and PS3 are all gossip and craziness, so let's take it as a joke.
PS2: At the end of the previous chapter, a reader commented on my water chapter, and I gave him a thumbs up, and I was very happy, which means that someone who reads my book and picks and chooses customers is the customer who sincerely buys it.
But I still want to explain, it's not water, but the necessary paving setting, because in the martial arts novels of Jin and Gu, the dart game is a bit of a trick, which leads to a lot of misunderstanding of the dart game.
The dart game is also very prosperous in history, during the Qing Dynasty, the transportation of grain, money and the emperor's bar, but they all rely on the dart board.
I won't say a few words, I can't tell you that the dart master is not a group of professions that rely on brute force to fight and kill, but a group of social talents, relying on high emotional intelligence to mix the rivers and lakes, and the most used is the mouth, not the gun.
PS3: This book is in the wrong section, it stands to reason that it should be in the sci-fi - time travel division, and I want to write about the original world.
Every day, I look at the recommended books in the same period, and the collection rises by hundreds or thousands a day, while I am dozens, saying that it does not affect the mentality, it is impossible.
Thinking about it, I actually understand that writing American comics, Hong Kong comprehensives, Japanese comics, etc., has its own popularity, and secondly, readers will know which book to read by looking at the title.
And what I expected was to write an original world and an original script, and I really didn't have the qualifications to compare with others.
I asked the editor and said that the books that have been pushed can't be changed before they are put on the shelves, and I thought that could only be like this.
Many people in the group suggested that I cut it, but I was reluctant, I haven't finished telling this story yet, and I still have seven or eight scripts in my heart that I haven't presented to you.
Come to think of it, let's do it, there are still a few readers, right?
I write with all my heart, everyone is tolerant and watch, let's try to see if we can be reckless, thank you.
