Next Chapter

It was noon, outside the city of Hangzhou.

A slender man in white slowly stopped. I saw that his face was like a crown of jade, his eyes were like stars, two sword eyebrows flew obliquely into his temples, his air was lofty, his heroic posture was vigorous, and a faint color of worry loomed in his clear and agile eyes;

As far as the eye can see, an incomparably tall castle tower stands in front of you. Looking at the three words "Hangzhou City" on the city wall, which have not changed after years of vicissitudes, he sighed: "It's finally here, hey...... I don't know if he's here, forget it, if he comes, he will be safe, since he has come here, then I will go first to find someone to investigate, and besides, ...... He pursed his lips that were a little dry, touched his gurgling belly again, and by the way, he took a look at the legendary beauty of Hangzhou, which was worth the trip!"

Having made up his mind, the man in white raised his feet and walked briskly towards the city.

It was noon, the sun was scorching, but there was not a drop of sweat on his face, and he was still as usual. Along the way, although he was very tired, his steps were still as steady and powerful as usual!

Before entering the city, the man's eyes were immediately attracted by the scenery in front of him, although he was mentally prepared before entering the city, but he still couldn't help but marvel again and again: all kinds of carved cars compete in the street, the golden green day, Luo Qi is fragrant; the new voice is smiling in Liu Mo Huaqu, and the strings are tuned in the teahouse and wine shop; the treasures of the four seas are all returned to the city; the peculiar smell of the Huihuan District is all in the kitchen.

I saw the tall Hangzhou city tower as the center, the houses on both sides are lined up one after another, the shops on both sides of the street are lined up, the pedestrians on the street are flowing endlessly, the voices of people are boiling, and the traffic is busy; the brutal noon sun is sprinkled on these red bricks and green tiles and the abrupt and brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of poetry to the prosperous scenery of Hangzhou in front of you.

The beautiful scenery in front of him made the man in white feel like a dream, which made him feast his eyes and comfort his life. "The smoke willow paints the bridge, the wind curtain is green, the 100,000 homes are uneven, the clouds and trees surround the embankment sand, the angry waves roll the frost and snow, and the moat is endless. The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious. He collected some fluctuating thoughts and praised: "The beautiful scenery of Hangzhou is really better than seeing it when you hear it! Hangzhou's fame is well deserved!"

The landscape of Hangzhou is close at hand. The hot wind blows on the face, on the bustling Su Causeway, the pedestrians are weaving, the scenery is picturesque, the shouting and shouting come and go, and the scene is not lively. Walking on the street, he looked at the bustling hustle and bustle of Hangzhou, a joy in his heart for no reason, and a long-lost smile appeared on his deeply worried face.

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, glanced sideways in one direction, and after a while, his expression slowly became solemn, and he no longer had the intention of appreciating this picturesque scenery of Hangzhou. The pace also unconsciously sped up a lot.

When he passed by the table of a fortune teller who set up a stall, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "This son, please stay for the time being." ”

He looked sideways, it turned out that a fortune teller next to him called out to him, then he stopped, turned his eyes to look at the fortune teller, and looked at him, only to see the fortune teller a middle-aged man with a goatee, at this time he was sitting on a chair, on the table brushes, rice paper, a few books, bamboo sticks and other fortune-telling necessities are readily available; a cage on the right side of the table is full of white pigeons, and a flag is placed behind his right, and his wife has "Mai Shenxiang" written on it Four eye-catching large characters, a portrait of a human face is pasted on the wall directly behind Mr.

At the same time as the man looked at him, the fortune teller was also looking at him, and the fortune teller pretended to be meaningful and said: "Look at Gongzi, your brows are deep and your Yin Tang is black, everything must have been bad recently!" After listening to Mr. 's words, a hint of banter flashed in his eyes, and he asked: "I want to find a friend, I don't know what you can do?"

Hearing this, the fortune teller smiled slightly: "Well, there is no problem with this! In this way, let's test the word first!" As he spoke, he took a piece of white rice paper on the table and handed it to him. He took the rice paper, took the brush on the table and wrote a big word "official" on the paper with a few brushes, and then handed it to the fortune teller. After the fortune teller took the paper, he only glanced at the paper, laughed twice, and said: "Congratulations, your long-lost friend should have been promoted and made a fortune now." ”

Hearing this, he did not answer immediately, but glanced at the white dove on the table, and asked with a smile: "Sir, where do you start?" Mr. seemed to have known that he would have this question, and as soon as his words fell, Mr. took the piece of paper and explained to him: "You see, this word "official" is strong and powerful, and the momentum is extraordinary, so the person you are looking for must be a rich and noble person. The man in white didn't seem to listen, and then asked, "Isn't the word measurement supposed to be based on Zhuqi?"

At first hearing this, Mr. was shocked, the secret way is not good, this person actually knows about Zhuqi?! In fact, he is not a real physiognomy master, his fortune-telling ability is at best a half-level, this is what he learned in some books, only forced to make a living on the street to cheat and make money, because this comes to make money quickly, mixed in the rivers and lakes for many years, he also knows some truths, all who come to see the fortune teller, must have something to ask, something to desire, to put it bluntly, is to seek comfort, and he only needs to move his mouth, say more nice words, because he knows: there is no one in this world who does not like to listen to good words。 It's so easy to get there, so why don't you do it!

Miraculously, since he did this, instead of being exposed, on the contrary, more and more people came to him to tell fortunes and see his face, the more this person, the more silver he earned every day, and the fame is getting bigger and bigger, the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, once this person tastes the sweetness, it is difficult to stop, and the temporary profit can no longer be satisfied with him, so he resolutely decided to do it for a long time, until now.

Now he had developed a pair of sharp eyes, and knew what kind of people were easy to deceive, and what kind of people were not easy to deceive, and when this young man in white passed by, he concluded that this person was a hairy boy who had not been deeply involved in the world, and he thought that he had made money again, so as to stop him at the beginning.

However, the world is impermanent, and I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet. Today, he miscalculated.

All the actions of the gentleman fell in the eyes of the man, but he did not break it, but quietly looked at the fortune teller, waiting for his next step, to see how he justified himself.

Just when the young man thought that he should at least think about it for a while, and think of a pretext, the fortune teller blurted out: "My god Yang Buyi is also well-known in the rivers and lakes, and if you say one thing, you won't be able to say four ...... if you say three."
