At the end of June, the imperial capital was like a steamer on a pyre, and it was too hot to breathe. At this time, people's tempers are extraordinarily irritable, as if high temperature is the key to unlocking their temper, and they can explode in minutes.
"Will you drive? Will you?!"
"What are you yelling about, who are you yelling about, I can't drive or you can't?!"
Two big men, you stare at me, I stare at you, after a few minutes of fighting, I really can't stand the sun, look at me, I look at you, and hide in the shade of the road beside the road. Down.
Because of the limited shade area, the two of them stood very close together. You looked at me and I looked at you. For a while, the quarrel couldn't go on.
"Clap!" The two of them heard a slap behind them, turned around and looked around, and saw a young man sitting under the shade of an adjacent tree, with a white face, round eyes, and naturally curly hair. Holding a half-boxed ice cream, his right hand is chasing mosquitoes on his legs.
The young man looked up and saw them, smiled before saying a word, with two small dimples on his cheeks, looking like a shy college student.
Being laughed at by the young man, the last trace of anger in the hearts of the two drivers disappeared without a trace, the two looked at each other, and the fat master spoke first: "Little brother, what are you doing here on such a hot day? "
The young man bent down and picked up the wooden sign he had placed at the root of the tree, and handed it to the two of them: "Two eldest brothers, are you fortune telling?"
The slender driver stretched out his neck to take a look, and there was only an old black wooden sign with the size of an adult man's palm in between, and it was written in calligraphy in brush calligraphy, "Iron mouth God's calculation, three hexagrams per month. Sincerity is spiritual, and fate is calculated."
This is too straightforward. If it doesn't count, it's because of dishonesty. It doesn't matter if the number of fortune-telling in a month exceeds the fortune-telling, anyway, if you have fate, you can count more. Today's young people are too impatient, and they don't know how to be careful when they lie.
However, it was fate to meet each other on such a hot day. They quarreled so much that there was no one to watch the fun, which shows how hot it is today. The thin driver wiped the sweat from his face, "How many hexagrams have you counted this month, little brother?"
Today is the last day of June. Could it be that he hasn't finished his monthly trigrams yet? That business is bleak enough.
The ice cream in the young man's hand had almost melted. He threw the wooden sign aside at will, lowered his head and quickly ate the ice cream into his stomach, turned around and threw it, and the ice cream box flew into the trash can two meters away from him.
"There is still one hexagram left in this month. Who of the two eldest brothers is interested in this?" The young man took out an unopened wet tissue from his trousers pocket, took it apart and wiped his mouth and hands, not in a hurry to persuade the two of them to believe in him. Turn around and throw the used tissue in the trash, too.
"Little brother, you are so young, how can you..." Why do you do this
The fat driver really didn't know what to say when he saw this young man dressed clean and young, but doing such a deceptive business.
But this young man was extremely calm. Hearing the fat driver say that, his face didn't change at all, he just looked at them with a smile, the dimples on his cheeks were looming, and people couldn't really feel disgust for him.
"How much is it to calculate?" the thin driver asked casually.
The young man stretched out a slap.
"Fifty?"
The young man shook his head, "Five hundred."
The skinny driver's expression changed, and he said helplessly: "Little brother, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that 500 is too expensive." When he went back to report to his wife, he said that he took 500 yuan for fortune-telling, and his wife Will you believe
And he felt that if this kid hadn't looked harmless, he would have rolled his eyes and turned away just because of this lion's open-mouthed behavior.
The young man smiled without saying a word. He didn't tell the thin driver Amway how accurate his fortune-telling was, and he didn't say that he was willing to lower the price.
The three of them stopped talking, and the atmosphere was filled with a faint, unspeakable embarrassment.
After two minutes, the fat driver glanced at the few red envelopes bitten by the mosquitoes on the young man's legs, touched his wallet, and took out three red notes from it and stuffed them into his hand: "Little brother, this business It's not easy to do. It's hot at noon, you go back to rest early, find a serious job, and don't do this in the future."
His own child doesn't look much younger than this young man, and he is still hiding at home blowing the air conditioner and playing games, but this young man comes out alone to do this kind of thing. As long as the family conditions are good, which parent is willing to let him suffer this hardship
After saying this, he looked a little embarrassed and said, "I don't count, you can spend this money."
The young man looked at the three hundred-yuan bills in his hand, smiled, put away the old black wooden sign on the ground, and said, "Brother has a good heart, I will make an exception today."
Seeing his serious appearance, the fat driver could only laugh and say, "Forget it, forget it, go home early after the calculation."
"My eldest brother was born with the expectations of his parents in his life. He has been favored by his parents since he was a child. He gets married in 25 times, and he has a harmonious relationship with Mrs. Zun. He has no children in his life, right?" A refreshing breeze makes people feel happy.
But the fat driver was shocked because the other party was too accurate. His parents had been married for many years and failed to give birth to a child. Later, they finally had him and they doted on him very much. When he was in college, he met his current wife, so within two years after graduation, they got married and gave birth to a son.
The skinny driver saw the fat driver's shocked look, and the helplessness in his heart became more obvious. Today's fortune-tellers like to play this trick. They say how you were when you were a child and how your family is. In fact, as long as you are a person with strong observation skills, you can guess some clues from the words and deeds of the other party. This is completely different from the so-called Fortune telling has nothing to do with it.
Just when the thin driver thought that the other party was going to continue to talk a lot to win the trust of others, the young man didn't say anything more.
"No one's destiny is perfect, and those who can achieve perfection are already loved by God." The young man swept his eyes lightly on the fat driver's forehead, "Brother, if you believe me, when you go home today, change Go one way and you can avoid catastrophe.”
After saying this, he held the wooden sign in his hand and still had three hundred yuan, maintaining the style of a mysterious expert, and slowly walked out of the sight of the two of them.
Skinny Driver: There seems to be something wrong with this approach...
But he didn't have time to think about it any more, because the traffic police rushed over and started to deal with the scratching incident. However, with the previous experience of hiding from the sun under the tree together, the two took a step back, and the matter was quickly dealt with.
After a busy day outside, when the fat driver was ready to go home, it was already after nine o'clock in the evening. Because the car was sent for repairs, he had to take the bus home. After getting off the night bus, he tripped over a brick under his feet when he was about to cross the alley, and suddenly remembered the young man with dimples he met at noon.
He looked at the empty alley, hesitated for two seconds, and finally turned around to go home in a circle.
Just a few steps away, he heard a sudden loud noise in the alley, as if something heavy fell. His heart trembled, he quickly turned around and ran back, stunned by the scene in the alley.
Just not far from the entrance of the alley, a lot of cement, bricks and other objects fell. It turned out that a family's balcony collapsed and the whole fell down.
If he just walked down this road...
On this hot summer night, he couldn't help shivering.
"Qian Qian, you are our reborn parents!"
"Yes, yes, I have loved you for ten thousand years."
"Go away, I don't love you." Qi Yan pushed aside his roommate in disgust, then put the dinner he brought back to them on the table, "You share it, I'll take a shower."
The roommates were very calm when they saw that he took out a wooden sign from his body. They had long been used to Qi Yan occasionally going out and pretending to be a magic stick.
After taking a shower, the three in the dormitory had already finished their dinner, and the smell of food filled the room. He stretched his legs, kicked the stool in front of him aside, walked to his study desk and sat down, turned on the computer, and donated 300 yuan to a charity.
The teacher's sect has a lesson, and every month, he must calculate three hexagrams for people. The money obtained from these three hexagrams cannot be used for himself, but can only be used for good deeds.
"The day after tomorrow, I'm going back to my hometown," the boss smiled reluctantly. "My family has arranged a job for me. The salary is not high, but it is stable." Separate, some reluctant.
When it comes to this topic, the four of them are quiet.
The four brothers have lived in the same house for four years, and now they have to go their separate ways, who can be happy.
"Tomorrow, our brothers will go out for a big meal, I will treat you!" Wang Hang is the third oldest in the dormitory, a native of the imperial capital, and his family is also wealthy, "Don't forget your wealth and honor!"
"Okay, let's go eat Dahu tomorrow."
"Don't eat the right ones, just eat the expensive ones!"
Qi Yan turned off the computer, "First, have a few cups of Wuyi Dahongpao, and then have all kinds of rare seafood, what do you think?"
"Qian Qian's words make sense. It's better to order a few more servings, and pack them back for supper if you can't finish eating them."
When it comes to eating, the atmosphere in the bedroom finally relaxed.
For the hard-working and brave Chinese people, there is nothing that food can't solve. If one meal is not enough, then two meals.
The brothers chatted until late and went to bed very late. As the graduation season was approaching, there were four in their dormitory. Some went back to their hometown, some went on to graduate school, and some went home to inherit their careers. They each decided on a different path.
Qi Yan rolled over on the bed, fell into a deep sleep, and then he had a dream in a daze.
Someone in his ear kept talking to him, and then slapped him on the forehead.
"call!"
Qi Yan abruptly sat up from the bed. The old air conditioner in the bedroom was still whirring. The sound was loud, but the cooling effect was not strong. Adjusting the gear to 24 degrees only had an effect of 27 degrees. He yawned, wiped his forehead, looked out of the window, which was still lit, then retracted into the quilt and continued to sleep.
Outside the window, the semi-circular moon broke through the clouds, and the bright moonlight entered the window, casting a faint moonlight on Qi Yan who was sleeping.
