In the two river basins, the wind and the sun are beautiful, the sky is cloudless, and an old and a young man are slowly advancing on the official road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The old man was thin and thin, dressed in a white robe with a few patches on it. In his left hand, he holds a banner with four big characters written on it: "Immortals guide the way". The handwriting is handsome and upright, vigorous and powerful, showing everyone's demeanor. But the old man was dejected, as if he was experiencing something depressed.

Walking behind the old man was a young woman, dressed very bloated, covering up her wonderful figure. At the same time, his face is a little sallow, and he has been weathered for a long time, which is obviously the result of often walking around outside and being exposed to the wind and sun. However, on the contrary to the old man, this woman was holding a book, reading it with relish, her expression was very indifferent, and occasionally she made a few soft sounds, which was very good.

The old man walked in front and sighed for a while, and found that the woman was still looking at the books with her head down, ignoring him at all, and immediately the corners of her mouth curled, and she said angrily: "Read, read, what kind of books do you read all day long, most of the money is used to buy these broken books, we haven't opened for several days, you want to starve me to death?"

The young woman folded the pages of the book, made a mark, then closed the book with both hands, gave the old man a blank look, and complained: "I don't know who secretly ran to drink in the middle of the night, but there was no money to pay the bill, and he was beaten half to death, thrown into the stinky ditch, and almost drowned." I took out all the money on my body and handed it to the other party, and then I got the other party's approval and dragged you up from the stinky ditch, and now you still complain about me? ”

When the old man heard this, he jumped up and down angrily, hurriedly ran to the young woman's side, and shouted in a strange way: "Hey, you yellow-haired girl, you want to rebel! I don't want to think about who pulled you when you slept on the street and asked for food along the street." Oh, now it's okay, I've eaten Lao Tzu's food for a few years, and now that my bones have grown hard, I don't care if Lao Tzu lives or dies? ”

"Alas, grandpa, what you said is not right, you just raised me for a month, and then when I learned your divination, it seems that I have always been going out to show up and make money to support you. Okay, since you say I'm a white-eyed wolf, let's count how many times you've saved you because you're addicted to alcohol? Last month, it seems that in Huajiazhuang, you were found out for stealing wine, and you were hanged and beaten! That time I saved you. Going back further, for three months, you fought with someone for wine, and the man ran away when he lost, and the food money of a dozen taels cost us half a year's rations. Ah, and half a year ago, that and Yunyue Inn's... ”

The young woman frowned when she heard this, her face was thin and angry, she stopped on the side of the road and fought the old man. really in front of the old man, with his fingers, counting the old man's drunken mistakes one by one.

The old man's face turned red when he heard this, and although there was no one around, he immediately interrupted and didn't let the woman say any more.

"Alright, alright, let's stop talking about these old accounts. What an old man, still so stingy. It only cost a few taels of silver, as for it. Besides, this is not for you to force, I haven't smelled of alcohol for a month, and I'm about to fade out of my mouth, and I don't let people live. ”

The young woman glanced at the old man and stretched out her hand to point at the distance. "Well, there's a river over there, if you don't want to live, just jump down, don't give me face. It's better if you're dead, your ears are quiet, and when you float up, I'll reward you with a straw mat. And the soil here is soft, and for a weak woman like me, digging a pit is the perfect place. Then the straw mat was rolled and buried, which saved a lot of trouble!"

After speaking, the young woman continued to move forward, opened the book, unfolded the pages, and continued to read, even though the old man behind her was so angry that she jumped to her feet and scolded, but she was also indifferent.

Not long after, the old man was also tired of scolding, his mouth was dry, and he pulled out the water bag next to him and found that it was empty. So the old man's pace quickened, and he said to the woman with his face on his face, and after a burst of soft grinding and hard foaming, he begged for a pot of water bags, and poured it into a big gulp, calling it refreshing.

The young woman was also accustomed to the changeable personality of the old man, glanced at the old man from the corner of her eye, frowned slightly, shook her head gently, said that she had a headache, and then ignored it.

Suddenly, the young girl looked up at the sky, and pinched it with one hand, as if she was dividing something. Then the woman raised her eyebrows, showed a look of joy, flashed her figure under the tree by the roadside, sat down, took out some necessary props for divination, and opened on the spot.

The woman's expression was leisurely, as if she was waiting for something, and knew that what she was waiting for would return. For women's strange behavior, the old man is also commonplace, a person empty-handed, walking not far away, humming I don't know where the country sound, hanging.

After a while, someone came on horseback on the official road in the west, the young woman's eyes narrowed slightly, counted the number of people, a total of five people saw the number of people, the woman immediately burst into joy, and then pretended, her eyes were slightly closed, waiting for the five people to come.

The five of them seemed to have been on the road for a long time, and they were all tired, and when they saw that there was a large area of shade where the woman was, the leader shouted "rest", and then several people came to the tree, grazing the horses, and took out dry food with cold water, and ate it with relish.

A sturdy man had nothing to do, and walked to the young woman's stall to check it out.

"The immortal shows the way, and the Bu Ji hexagram is fierce. Ten texts once, three days to take effect. Hey, little girl, is this really as godly as it says? ”

"Since this girl dares to write like this, she is naturally not afraid of your test, and if you want me to follow the verification, it will be thirty. If it doesn't work, it will naturally be doubled. The young woman's eyes widened, and when she saw that the person who came was wearing official boots and civilian clothes, her heart moved, and she swore on her face.

The strong man was interested, and now he was bored, so he immediately took out a stack of copper plates, put them on the ground, and lined them up. The strong man pointed to the ten copper coins on the ground, and said to the woman with a proud expression: "The money, right here, if you can tell us what happened to us three days ago, please accept this money." If it doesn't work, then give me ten pennies. Will it succeed?"

The corners of the young woman's mouth curled, her eyes flashed, and she said, "A word is a certainty!"

Then both showed that they were in a position to win.

According to the woman's request, the strong man gave the woman the eight characters of her birthday at will, and then asked her to divination. For such a little trick, the young woman has long been surprised, and the other party is obviously talking nonsense first and blackmailing her to say a penny.

So no matter what the woman said is right or not, as long as the other party doesn't admit it, then the woman loses, and if she loses, she will naturally lose money according to the previous promise. However, since the young woman dares to take over this business, she is naturally absolutely sure that she can make the other party obediently spit out the money back, and it will also make her make a lot of money.

The young woman tried her best to calculate, but she still calculated something, and opened her mouth to talk to the strong man. When the big man heard this, his face was light, but his heart was very shocked, and he wanted to ask the next question. But he still held back and didn't say a word.

As expected, no matter what the young woman said was right or not, the strong man was wrong, and in the end, the young woman had to obediently give the other party ten copper plates under the threat of the strong man.

The strong man tossed the copper plate a few times, walked back to his companion, and opened his mouth to show off. The rest of the people took the young woman for a fool, pointed their fingers, and then, in a burst of laughter, mounted their horses and drove away.

"Alas, the money of the gods is not so easy to take, be careful of being struck by lightning. The old man on the side glanced at the five strong men in the distance with some pity and muttered.

After a while, the time for a meal passed, and the east side of the official road suddenly became dark, the wind was strong, and the thunder was hidden above the clouds, and the rumbling sound was non-stop, and it looked like the heavy rain was approaching.

The old man looked up at the scorching sun overhead, it was called a hot sun, and the storm did not affect much of the area, and the dark clouds only rose to the size of acres and no longer became larger. Then in the distance, in the middle of the air, there was a wild roll, and the thunder and lightning flashed wildly, which made everyone who was far away a little frightened.

I saw that the storm area began to contract and expand irregularly, like a mirror folded at random, which made people feel dizzy. At the same time, the roar of thunder and lightning became louder and louder, but for a moment ordinary people could not bear it, like thousands of thunderbolts exploding in their ears.

A moment later, the distant storm suddenly contracted and closed in the middle, like a black dot the size of a bowl floating in the air, and the thunder all around it disappeared in a flash.

Then a brilliant electric light burst out of it, which was as black as ink, but in an instant it was as bright as silver, and so on and so forth. Lightning slashed through the air in a curved trail, and instantly struck the earth with a loud boom, and the whole earth shook for it.

"Hah, what a thunderbolt! The old man just said it casually, and it worked so well?" the old man looked at everything in the distance in surprise, and shouted, his face full of incredulity.

The old man's eyes jumped slightly, and the black and white lightning really made him feel cold in his heart, and he couldn't help pinching his fingers to calculate something. After a while, there was a tingling pain in the old man's fingers, and he paused, and he couldn't count it anymore. The old man's eyes turned and stared at the young woman, his heart was mixed, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hey, they're back. ”

The strange behavior of the old man, the young woman did not notice. Since the group of strong men left, her eyes have been looking at the east of the official road, and when she saw this sudden change in heaven and earth, the corners of her mouth suddenly curled, and she muttered.

The old man followed the prestige, and sure enough, the five strong men who had just left for a short time returned the same way with frightened expressions. Seeing that the young woman and the young were still in place, they immediately showed a look of surprise, quickly whipped up, came to the stall, clasped their fists with both hands, and saluted respectfully.

"Thank you for the girl's parting words, otherwise my brothers and I would really want to see Hades at this moment. The grace of saving my life, I dare not say thank you, I am careful, and I hope to smile. The leader of the five men thanked the young woman with a fist, and took out a silver ingot from his bosom and handed it to the woman.

It turned out that just as the five of them were leaving, the young woman suddenly spoke, telling them to go slower and not be too anxious, because they would be back soon.

This remark naturally caused some ridicule at the time, but when there was a thunderbolt in front of them, several people could no longer laugh. They were frightened one by one, thinking that they had provoked some living immortals, so they immediately pulled the reins, reversed the direction, and made a special trip to apologize to the young woman.

The young woman pushed the silver back and said with a smile: "No merit, since you agree with the little sister's divination, you might as well make some transactions and let me divinate for your future, how about it?"

"That's very good. The man at the head immediately agreed, and the four people behind him did not have any objections.

The woman divined the five people one by one, and then wrote some obscure but ambiguous words on the back of the yellow charm and handed them to the other party.

With the previous clear sky thunderbolt as an example, the five people did not dare to have a contempt for it, and they all treated these yellow papers as treasures and collected them closely.
