Chapter 17: Fortune telling
When Fang Caihe led Fu Xiangxue into his house. In the hall of her house, there were already four elderly women from the village. Most of these old women had never read a book when they were young, and none of them could write their names. The three old women were already gray-haired. They were coaxed and deceived by Fang Caihe's sweet words, not to give them any lessons and "scriptures", nor to give them any rewards, but to ask them to come over and count their own lives. Naturally, these women are now in a worse situation, and their men are either dying early due to a terminal illness or accidental injury. The most fatal difficulty and weakness of these old women is not because of the untimely death of their husbands, but because of the collapse of their spiritual support, which is in need of spiritual comfort, because they have been subjected to the pressure of poverty for a long time, coupled with ignorance and shallow knowledge, and thus lose their yearning and joy of life. These shortcomings and weaknesses of theirs were tricked and exploited by Fang Caihe.
Fang Caihe is a greedy woman who is unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, and her greedy nature is her purpose in the world. She has an extraordinary talent for eloquence and acting. There is also a beautiful face plate that can support the scene for her. This unique natural factor conceals her ugly purpose and sinister and vicious heart. By going to these women's homes to lobby, intimidating and coaxing, and adding a little superstitious tricks, she can easily get these old women to comply. Fang Caihe has always appeared as a bodhisattva and a savior in front of these people. We all know that the more ignorant we are, the more we pin our hopes on others, and the more ignorant we are, the more we show our unique skills.
Fang Caihe is not highly educated, but he is very clever and intelligent, and he can speak well, and he can learn things he doesn't understand, and his memory is amazing. Through her observations in the past few days, she basically figured out the fortune teller's way to make money. But instead of exposing the fortune teller's tricks, she went to the fortune teller's house and told him what she was going to do in partnership with him. At the beginning, she ate her husband's closed door. But she was not in a hurry or annoyed, she simply praised her ability, and said that if she did not reach more than five times the past performance of this gentleman in one day after cooperation, she could not have a penny. This harmless temptation has already impressed the fortune teller. The cooperation was reached immediately: Fang Caihe was responsible for pulling people's heads and making dark lines. Inform Mr. of the advantages and disadvantages of each fortune teller in advance, and Mr. will tell fortunes in the order in which Fang Caihe arranges fortune tellers. In this way, whoever has had a serious illness in his family and died a few years ago, the family background is accurate. Of course, Fang Caihe can't always appear at the scene of fortune-telling by himself, so that he will be suspected by others. As long as she keeps doing mobilization and organization work in front of and behind the village, she is good. Those who go to fortune telling, Mr. is beautiful and said that it is arranged according to the order of the eight characters of the birthday, in fact, the mystery is here, without Fang Caili's careful arrangement, Mr. is a cloud of black in front of him.
Fang Caihe approached Mr., lowered his head and whispered to Mr. for a while, then smiled and said to Xiangxue: Mr. said just now, your birthday is suitable for the first fortune telling, come over, everyone else sit first, don't speak loudly, just prick up your ears and listen to Mr. is accurate? As I have told you before, if you think this gentleman can calculate accurately, you will give him fortune telling money, and if you don't have to pay him, he will have to pay you for your working hours. I brought this up, and at first Mr. refused to agree, so I said, since your fortune-telling is possessed by gods, it has nothing to do with you as a mortal. Then this is the best basis to prove that you can't deceive people, we are all uneducated people, but we are not stupid and stupid, we also have our own judgment ability. Don't be anxious now, everyone here will have their turn, I repeat, you must not squeak. Otherwise, you will only be the one who will suffer from talking nonsense, and everyone understands. The five old women all nodded together and said, "It's all about."
Fu Xiangxue then sat on a round stool in the middle of the hall, facing her husband, and the others sat next to her. Mr. began to stare at Xiang Xue, spread out her palm to observe, and asked Fu Xiangxue to report her birthday, so that Fu Xiangxue didn't need to speak anymore, as long as she sat down and listened, she just nodded on time.
The gentleman closed his eyes, and the fingers of his right hand fluttered up and down rapidly, and suddenly I saw him roar, and his knees knelt down, his hair was scattered, his head kept swaying from side to side, and his exposed eyeballs were very wide and terrifying, and suddenly he heard a cry of pain:
There is no tile on the top to cover the wind and rain, and there is no surplus food to wrap the abdominal muscles;
Yang Shou is sixty-three years old, and the hell of hell is trapped for a thousand years.
Fang Caihe quietly said to an old woman sitting next to him, these four sentences are still a bit accurate, I don't know what Mr. will do next. Fu Xiangxue rubbed her eyes and nodded, admitting that her husband did die of illness at the age of sixty-three. Fang Caihe walked in front of Fu Xiangxue, and whispered to Xiangxue: "I wish my eldest brother a hard life, the yang world will only live to sixty-three and leave, but when you go to the underworld, you will be a cow and horse for a thousand years." You ask the gentleman how he needs to resolve it. If you don't talk to your husband, your husband will think that you have no feelings for your man, and you will ignore him. "Xiangxue said, I was anxious just now, can I beg Mr. to go? Fang Caihe hated Fu Xiangxue's words: "This is your own business, you want to alleviate your husband's suffering days in the underworld, you don't ask Mr., do you still ask me to fail?" ”
Fu Xiangxue walked in front of Mr.: "Please ask Mr. to give my husband a smart solution." ”
The gentleman ignored Fu Xiangxue's pleading, and saw that he seemed to be talking to himself and wailing:
At present, the bull demon is raging, and the days of suffering are buckled;
Hugh asked about the subtleties of the underworld, and the great immortals could not help eliminate the disaster.
The gentleman wept bitterly, and howled bitterly. Fang Caihe's eyes also moistened, and he took Fu Xiangxue, who was crying loudly, into his arms and cried: Sister Xiangxue, I wish Brother Zhihai is really suffering from the sea and is difficult to get out, and I don't know what else Mr. has to say below.
After weeping bitterly for a quarter of an hour, a pillar of desolate light came out of his eyes, and his cry became hoarse:
Desire to think endlessly, yin and yang have short and long after all;
I don't worship the gods in life, and now I am practicing hard in the shade.
At this time, Fu Xiangxue couldn't make a sound, and had already wailed loudly: "My hard-working Zhihai, you haven't enjoyed a day of happiness in your life, and you still have to suffer when you go to the underworld, what should I do?" There is a way, and I should ······ for your sin. ”
Fang Caihe persuaded Fu Xiangxue not to cry, and said to her concern: You still ask Mr. to give you the secret recipe, I wish the eldest brother not to suffer for a long time, you go and ask, go and beg Mr. to go.
Xiangxue then went to ask Mr.
If you want Yan Hall to get rid of cattle and horses, you must teach your children and grandchildren to burn incense diligently;
The guilty person is redeemed early, and the wife of the married person recites the Buddha bitterly.
I can do this, I ask Daxian to give me another magic weapon to let my deceased husband eliminate disasters. I will burn incense and worship the Buddha more often, Amitabha, Amitabha.
Daxian is not an all-powerful god, and his words have a heavy weight;
Mortal strife and evil, looking forward to the auspicious star in the coming year.
Xiangxue has been completely conquered, and her heart is beginning to feel uneasy. The husband told her that there should be an auspicious star next year, so the hard days would have to wait for a whole year, and she was worried about the fortunes of her children, and the husband seemed to understand her needs, and began to dance:
two sons and one daughter are knee-high, coarse tea and light food are warm and clothed;
Pray for the blessings of your children and pray to the southeast diligently.
Ling, Ling, Ling····· This gentleman is really a god, and there is really nothing bad in my family's calculations. Fu Xiangxue said as she fumbled for money from her pocket. I saw her shuddering and taking out a broken beige hand towel bag, uncovering the layers of cloth, only to reveal a roll of banknotes, including 5 yuan, 2 yuan, and 1 yuan. She didn't know how much to pay, she was still hesitating, Fang Caihe walked over and saw that the handkerchief bag was full of small tickets, Fu Xiangxue was still hesitating, so she snatched the handkerchief bag over: "Why are you so unhappy, no wonder I wish my eldest brother to die and suffer in hell, this money is still embarrassed to hesitate, if you are not unlucky, I will be embarrassed for you." As he spoke, he shook out all the money in his bag and handed it to Mr. Li.
In full view of everyone, Fang Caihe's actions stunned everyone, but no one dared to voice opposition. Some people even scoffed at Xiangxue's stinginess. Fu Xiangxue took the empty handkerchief handed over by Fang Caihe, and left with her head down in shame.
