There was no extra work on this day, Huang Jinchen was bored, so he carried a gun on his back and ran to study the "big boiler". No one went in with him this time, so he went out and played with a sense of adventure.
Kou Tong wanted to go back to the hospital to remove the plaster cast and left in the morning. From then on, he could finally walk upright like a human.
After a hundred days, people always have to pay a certain price for the secondary disease that is still raging after adolescence - for example, Dr. Kou, even if he walks out of the hospital like a human, his walking posture is still rather curious. The injured leg was a little bit hard, and the coordination was not good. After swaying against the wall and exercising for a while, he was tired and hesitant, so he decided to give himself a day off.
After telling General Zhong, Kou Tong thought about the future direction of life in a very handsome posture, then waved and called a taxi.
He crossed the downtown area and came to a relatively remote block. Although he dragged one and a half legs, he successfully climbed over the dilapidated fence of a primary school for children of migrant workers, and took a short cut to a small alley behind the school. .
This place, forgotten by urban planners, has a nearly abandoned school playground on one side and a low-rise bungalow area on the other side. I don’t know who’s broken cardboard box is in the middle of the road. Only a single person can barely pass through, with a thin cat meowing. , Kou Tong looked up and saw a little wild cat lying on the roof of the brick and tile, with its little tail twitching and staring at him with wide eyes.
Dr. Kou, who can soothe a child crying at night, touched it in his pocket, took out a piece of soft toffee, tore the package, and stood on tiptoe.
This wild cat is probably still a kitten, and it is very timid. Seeing someone extend a hand to it, it can't help but take a step back. The frequency of its tail vibrates more frequently, and it vigilantly barks out its small fangs that have not yet grown. , called out again very sternly.
Dr. Kou put the toffee on the edge of the tile, the kitten hesitated for a while, as if feeling the harmlessness of this person, meowing twice, then tentatively took a step forward, bowing her head in the milky white He sniffed at the candy bar and licked it.
Kou Tong then smiled, turned around and took out his radiation protection glasses from his pocket, put them on his face, and walked in slowly like a beast.
At the end of the private house, there was a small shop with a door god posted on the door and a mahogany sword hanging on it. The walls inside were covered with yellow paper talismans painted by cinnabar. Kou Tong opened the greasy and dirty curtain like a regular customer and walked in , waiting by the door, I saw a middle-aged woman with her back to him, talking to a blind old man with sunglasses.
The old man said, "Looking at the characters from the two of you... Well, there is one sentence that the old man really shouldn't talk about."
"Go ahead."
"Oh, there is a saying that 'it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage', but couples have to live a long and long life, and their fate must be mutually exclusive. Now, we have to pick a good time and auspicious time before we can choose a day to get married, but now people have lost the traditions of their ancestors. Look, since your husband got married, has his career been going bad all these years? "
"Yeah! He has been frustrated since he was young. He knew how to make progress at first, but then he became more and more outrageous..."
"Also drinking."
The woman said, "Yes! How do you know everything!"
"The child is in his teens, it's time to take the test..."
"It's almost high school."
The old man twitched his beard, pouted, shook his head for a while, and sighed: "Madam, you are Huo Ming, and your husband, he is Mu Ming, you think, if this wood catches fire, it will not all burn. Is it gone?"
Kou Tong looked at the silly girl and looked at the old man like she was holding a life-saving straw: "Then what do you say... what do you say?"
"You and him are incompatible with each other, and you shouldn't be in the same place. After your husband's marriage, he will meet many villains, and his career will be hindered from time to time. If you follow him, you will also taste the bitterness of the world, suffer a lot, and have a bad temper every day. You can't even control yourself, can you?"
"Yes! It's so accurate! It's what you said!"
"The grievances between the two of you were brought about in the previous life, and you have not yet finished mixing it up in this life. I'm afraid... it will be brought to the child in the future."
This sentence stabbed the woman's tears, and the eye circles turned red after flickering, and big teardrops fell down "da-da-da-da". , I understand, the two of us shouldn't have lived together in the first place."
The old man also kindly took a tissue from the side and gave it to her.
The woman was emotionally broken, crying bitterly, and scolding for a while while crying. After about ten minutes, she slowly calmed down, with a resolute look on her face, and took out a stack of red blood from her bag. The RMB was pressed on the table: "Old god, thank you so much, you are right! What should I do when I go back, divorce him, I can bring my son by myself, and I can raise him as an adult."
"Hey, good..." The good thing is Renminbi. The old man's eyes were about to glow with blue light. He grabbed his hands like chicken claws. Kou Tong, who was leaning against the door, coughed heavily. As soon as the old man saw As if he was caught stealing something, he hurriedly withdrew his hand, sat upright and looked at money like dung: "Cough, what you said is out of the question, Madam, I don't want your money, the world is confused. , I wait for the cultivators to point out the maze, and it is to cultivate cause and effect for myself and form a good relationship. These copper and smelly things are not worth it. You can take them back. If you think my words are reasonable, in the future, if your relatives and friends are in trouble, you may as well come to find them. my old man."
Kou Tong wanted to laugh, and felt that the bitter master had a bitter face and hatred, and it was not suitable for him to laugh, so he could only hold back, feeling the muscles on his face twitch, so he turned his face away and rubbed himself secretly.
When the woman left with gratitude and gratitude, he walked in in a big way and sat opposite the old man: "Ji Shenxian, give me a guess?"
Ji Shenxian glanced at him sideways, snorted from his nose, stood up slowly, closed the door, and put up a sign at the door saying "The three trigrams are full, please be early tomorrow".
Then he turned around and stared at Kou Tong angrily: "You still have to calculate? You are a death star, and you are here to block my fortune!"
Kou Tong said: "Don't you fart, you are trying to get people to divorce and still receive money from them. Are you not afraid of going to hell in the future and letting the King of Hell pull his tongue out?"
Ji Shenxian slapped him on the back of the head very singlely: "You just fart, you are feudal superstition!"
Kou Tong looked at him in astonishment, only to think that a person's face could be so thick that armored vehicles would be ashamed of themselves!
Ji Shenxian lit a cigarette and said slowly: "She has looked for me several times, and she has a lot of injuries on her body. At first glance, it is domestic violence. Look at her clothes, although they are not brand-name clothes, they are quite For the sake of attention, she should be a nice-faced and clean woman, but she ran out in slippers - if she wasn't forced, could she be in such a hurry?"
Kou Tong thought it was reasonable, and then asked, "How do you know that her husband is still drinking because he was frustrated by the villain?"
"Cough, she told me herself." The old man let out a puff of smoke leisurely, "She herself said that her husband doesn't come home after finishing work every night, and he hangs out with people and only returns in the middle of the night. I've seen it a lot, pretending to be a grandson outside, pouring more horse urine at night, going home to play majesty with my wife, no matter what he is unwilling to do, such people definitely don't find reasons from themselves, most of them rely on others On, 'meeting a villain' must be his own rhetoric. Besides, this woman, I don't think she has a character that bears humiliation and burdens, and she must have fought a lot. Living with such a person, can she not be irritable? "
Kou Tong laughed: "Then how do you know that other people's children's grades are not ideal? Maybe the children are very sensible, don't they say that poor children are in charge of their homes early?"
"When did I say that my child's grades were not good?" Ji Shenxian laughed smugly, "I asked her, 'Is there any problem with the child in school recently? Question, should I say 'that's good' again? When she came last time, there was a test paper for the child in her bag. I caught a glimpse of it, and I knew that their family must be so old. Even if the child has no problem at school, when she hears it, she feels that I am not asking useless questions, but reminding her that the child is at a critical time, and of course we must take precautions before it happens.”
Kou Tong was dumbfounded and suddenly felt that these old fortune tellers were the real experts.
Ji Shenxian looked at him and said, "Why do you come to my place when you have time, why don't you go out and fool around?"
"The legs are inconvenient." Kou Tong said frankly, with a blushing face and a heartbeat, "I had an accident when I went out some time ago, I broke my leg, and the plaster that I just removed is still not working, isn't it a disappointment. "
Ji Shenxian looked at the glasses on his face, hummed in annoyance, and grunted, "Hid your head and show your tail."
"I just... suddenly wanted to sit with you for a while." After a while, Kou Tong whispered.
"Sit down with me, take off your glasses and look at this." Ji Shenxian gestured on his eyes. He didn't know when he took off his sunglasses. Old man's unique sharpness.
Kou Tong hesitated.
Ji Shenxian picked up his long-sleeved shirt off guard, and the messy scratches on Dr. Kou's forearm, who wore long-sleeved shirts all the time, were revealed. Most of those scratches were made by sharp tools, and some were scalded by smoke. The marks are deep outside and shallow inside, and they seem to be made by myself.
Ji Shenxian said coldly, "I've seen all of this, so what are you afraid of?"
Kou Tong smiled bitterly, put down his sleeves, fastened the buttons on the cuffs, took off his glasses, and looked at Ji Shenxian quietly.
"Dream again?" the old man asked, pattering his cigarette.
"Yeah." Kou Tong crossed his fingers and rested his elbows on the table, "I smashed the mirror this time, and it shattered, but the person inside still didn't come out... I feel... as if I'll never be able to get out."
Ji Shenxian said nothing.
"After I got up, I saw the mirror in my room, and I subconsciously did the same action as in a dream - I smiled at the mirror, but the person in the mirror didn't smile at me, then I suddenly feel… "
"There is another person in the mirror?" Ji old man asked.
"No... I was trapped in the mirror. I almost smashed the mirror again. I didn't recover until my colleague called me." Kou Tong frowned, his expression suddenly a little tired, "Of course, this It may also be that I was confused in the morning, but Ji Lao, let's not deceive ourselves, I'm afraid... If it continues like this, it will become an illusion. "
The old man frowned: "Afraid of being locked in a mirror, what kind of anxiety do you have? Have you ever entered your own conscious space?"
"It's been in, it's very unstable, it's quite easy to crash."
"Well..." The old man thought for a long time before he said cautiously, "Kou Tong, are you a little afraid..."
However, before he could finish speaking, the cell phone in Kou Tong's pocket rang. He picked it up and glanced at the caller ID, and explained, "It's Su Qing, I asked him to check for me yesterday... Hello?"
The moment the phone was connected, Kou Tong's faint anxiety, paleness, and haggard disappeared miraculously, as if he was the man who was bright and happy when the sun was shining. He said a few words. He stood up in a hurry: "I see, thank you... Okay, no problem, I'll invite you to dinner next time."
Then he hurriedly greeted Ji Shenxian: "I have something to do today, don't talk about it, I'll find you next time."
He turned and ran.
