"Look, your forehead is black, there must be trouble at home recently."
The fortune teller pinched his fingers and shook his head at the woman opposite him.
"Yes, yes, yes." The woman was confused and nodded hurriedly.
There has been a lot of turmoil at home recently. My husband has become seriously ill and cannot be cured. The pillar of the family has fallen. It is a disaster!
The woman was extremely excited. "Master, you are the master. You are just like what they said, like a god."
“No, no.”
The fortune teller lowered his eyes, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, hiding his secret joy.
He was not in a hurry, and continued to pinch his fingers slowly, "Let me count with my fingers, um, is your last name Liu?"
"Yes, yes, Master, what you said is so accurate!"
"Let me see the lot you drew. Ah, tut, tut, tut."
A sigh was heard, and the woman immediately swallowed her saliva and became extremely nervous.
"I looked at your birth date. This year you are thirty-three years old, which is an unlucky year. The last time you were unlucky was ten years ago. Have you met with a disaster?"
There is a hidden meaning behind his words.
Ten years ago, how many people could remember what happened
If you have met with misfortune, it will definitely leave a deep impression on you and you will hit the mark immediately.
If you haven't encountered a serious disaster, you can just change the subject and say that you have a noble person to help you get through this difficulty. So if you want to get through this difficulty, you still need to find a noble person.
Who is that noble person
It’s not up to him, the fortune teller, to decide!
The fortune teller's eyes flashed with cunning, complacency and a hint of greed.
He has been keeping an eye on this woman for several days. She goes to the drugstore every day and the drug seller tells her that her husband is sick and she has no brothers or sisters, so she is the only woman who has to take care of things.
A country girl, who can't even read, running around with money for medicine on her, isn't she a fat sheep
So what if I bring my son with me
Little bastard, little grandpa, when I came out to be a liar, you didn’t even know I had come out!
The fortune teller glanced at the woman's chest, which was bulging, indicating that she must have brought a lot of money.
I must cheat her out of everything!
"Oh my god, Master, you are so right!"
The progress was exceptionally smooth. The woman slapped her thigh violently, and she completely believed what the fortune teller said.
Unfortunately, her hometown suffered from a drought ten years ago, and there was no food in the fields, so she almost starved to death.
Isn’t this a disaster
"Master, Master, you must save me and help me get through this difficult time. If my man dies, I, I..."
The woman burst into tears and pulled the boy behind her with her hand, "Hurry up and plead for mercy to the master."
The young man was also a tough guy. He knelt down on his knees and kowtowed on the spot, not caring at all about the surprised looks of passers-by.
However, not many people were talking about it. Instead, they were just marveling at the sight.
"Alas, he is truly a filial son!"
"It's worth it for that man to have such a son."
"The master is truly divine, his calculations are so accurate."
"Yes, yes, you are really good at judging people!"
"Great! I'm worried about my bad fortune lately, so I'd like to ask the master to do some calculations for me."
Everyone was talking about it, which made the fortune teller even more proud.
He took a yellow talisman from the table and handed it to the woman, "I see your family is suffering from a disease?"
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The woman nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice, her eyes looking at the yellow talisman with longing.
This is not a yellow talisman, it is clearly the life of his family!
"This yellow talisman, as long as..."
“Wait!”
Suddenly, a majestic voice came from behind the crowd. Uncle Jiu squeezed in, and with one hand, he pulled up the young man who kept kowtowing.
He was wearing a Taoist robe, and as soon as he appeared, the fortune teller's face changed and he felt a little uneasy.
"Big sister, give me the money quickly. I'll give you this yellow talisman. Just drink it and your husband's illness will be cured!"
The woman suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly took out money from her bosom and was about to hand it to the fortune teller. Uncle Jiu hurriedly reached out to stop her, but was pushed away by the woman.
She glared at him, "You, you, what are you doing?"
"This yellow talisman is fake and can't cure any disease."
Uncle Jiu explained. The woman was stunned. The boy who was pulled up by Uncle Jiu suddenly shook off Uncle Jiu's hand and said in a childish voice, "Impossible, the master is obviously right, how can it be fake, how can it be fake?"
"Yes, it can't be fake."
The woman was in a daze, mumbling to herself. She had searched the entire city, but everyone was looking at her husband and shaking their heads.
The master can calculate it, the master can save it, how can it be false, how can it be false
She continued to take out money. Uncle Jiu was about to stop her, but was pushed by the young man. At that moment, the fortune teller took the money from the woman's hand and stuffed the yellow talisman into her hand.
He also specifically warned, "This yellow talisman must not be passed through the hands of others, otherwise it will not work!"
The woman nodded suddenly, stuffed the yellow talisman into her arms, and stared at Uncle Jiu who was approaching her, as if she were a hen protecting her chicks.
Uncle Jiu felt helpless, so he reached out and patted the fortune teller's shoulder. It felt like a mountain was pressing down on the fortune teller's shoulder, and he could not move at all.
"Show me the yellow talisman. I'll tell you, this yellow talisman is really fake."
"impossible!"
The woman shook her head violently and shouted to the crowd, "Someone come quickly, someone is molesting a woman in broad daylight!"
The already busy street suddenly attracted a crowd of people, many of whom came later and were looking at Uncle Jiu, pointing and talking.
The fortune teller took the opportunity to shout, "This man is a fake Taoist priest. He is a gangster who wants to rob people."
He molested a woman in broad daylight and tried to rob her of her money.
Everyone's faces suddenly turned unfriendly, and a few young men rolled up their sleeves and slowly walked over.
"roll!"
Suddenly there was a loud thunder and roar, which frightened everyone so much that they covered their ears with their hands and collapsed to the ground.
Russell walked in with a frown on his face, with a look of contempt. He couldn't tell right from wrong, good from bad, and this was the easiest way to hurt people's hearts.
He walked to Uncle Jiu and sighed helplessly, "Master, you are too soft-hearted and too good to them..."
There's no point in explaining it to them, they know nothing about fortune-telling!
"alright!"
Uncle Jiu scolded him in a low voice, "Who told you to use the Taoist magic indiscriminately?"
"… "
Russell's momentum dropped instantly. He knew that he was careless and should not attack these ordinary people in front of Uncle Jiu.
He lowered his head and apologized, "Master, I'm just worried about you. I'm afraid you'd get hurt."
"snort!"
Uncle Jiu turned his head again and found that the woman and the young man had run away in the chaos, as if they were afraid that Uncle Jiu would snatch his talisman.
He took a deep breath and gave the fortune teller a fierce look. The fortune teller began to tremble all over, his legs went weak, and he almost wet his pants.
Russell's roar just now made him realize that he might have met a big shot today, someone with real abilities.
The fortune teller trembled, thinking that he was doomed, but unexpectedly, Uncle Jiu withdrew his hand and waved it directly, "Let's go, let's go!"
There is such a good thing!
The fortune teller just ran away without even leaving his stall, leaving everyone confused and looking at each other, not knowing what to do.
What is going on
Uncle Jiu put his hands behind his back and walked towards the carriage, obviously angry.
"Master, Master, you won't save people anymore?"
"I've saved them. If I hadn't left, none of them would have died. If I had left, five lives would have been lost. There's no way to escape!"
"Should we try to rescue him?" Russell whispered from behind. Saving people was not important. The main thing was to make the master not angry with him.
Uncle Jiu paused, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head.
“Forget it!”
"It's hard to persuade the damned devil with good words!"
Director Luo snorted from behind.
Will you not save people
Thinking about the stubborn woman and the foolish boy, Russell shook his head helplessly.
People are very strange. Sometimes they are very smart, and sometimes they are very stupid.
He ignored the master around him and just believed the words of a liar.

Should these people be saved
The con man and his accomplices, the women, the teenagers, the sick husband.
