"Can you find someone to help me see?" As soon as I heard the fortune teller's words, I immediately grabbed his hand: "Where is that person? Go ahead."
"What are you in a hurry?" The fortune teller threw away my hand and said: "If it weren't for the sake of our friendship, I really don't want to trouble others."
"If you should pay, just pay someone else. What's the trouble?" I always feel a little flustered in my heart, I don't know what is in my eyes.
The fortune teller showed me the way. After we left Feng's house, we headed north. The destination should be far away. We walked for a long time and stopped at an inconspicuous small ferry. The fortune teller said that there is still some land to go, so we left the boat at the ferry and walked ashore.
This stretch of land is indeed very far away. I have never walked to the north of the river beach for so long before. After listening to the fortune teller, I walked forward and it was the middle foot of Taihang Mountain.
I won’t mention the process along the way. Two days later, we entered the mountain and walked on the mountain road for a long time before we reached a small village in the mountain.
The villages in the mountains are poorer than the river beaches, but they are seldom affected by outside influences and are poor and peaceful. At dusk, smoke was rising from every household in the small village. The fortuneteller stood outside the village and watched for a while before shook his head and continued walking.
"I'll explain to you first. After a while, no matter what happens, you don't say anything, I will deal with it myself." The fortune-teller shook his body and said as he walked: "Ah, for the rest of your life, you have to No one can blame anyone for doing a few things that one can't help but do."
I don't know what the god fortune teller means, but I don't know anything about the situation here. Now that I am here, everything has to be listened to by god fortune teller.
Stepping on the sunset and facing the smoke, we entered the small village. The small village is very small, there are only a dozen households. The fortune teller must have been here before. After entering the village, he immediately abducted to a family in the south of the village.
The small courtyard is very simple, but the courtyard is clean and tidy. The fortune teller knocked on the courtyard door outside, and it didn't take long before the door opened with a creak. The one who opened the door was looking at a woman who was about forty years old. It is estimated that the life in the mountains was hard. The woman was very thin and had a small green birthmark on her forehead.
The moment the woman saw the fortune teller, her face immediately changed, and she wanted to close the courtyard door. The fortune teller might have known that he was going to be cold-eyed, and prepared in advance, and quickly stretched out his hands to block the courtyard door.
"Tweet, what's this for?" The expression of God fortune teller seemed a bit awkward, which surprised me. His thick skin was the only thing I saw in my life. I hardly felt embarrassed to see God fortune teller.
"I don't know you! Get out! Get out now!" The woman tried hard, but she didn't have the strength of the fortune teller. She was not polite, and cursed across the courtyard door: "You wolf-hearted thing! Dirty my threshold! "
"Oh, after so many years, Tweet, why are you still having this temper." The god fortune teller didn't care about this woman's ferociousness, and said with a smile, "You said you don't know me, so how can you know that I am a wolf-hearted dog?" Tweety..."
Before she finished speaking, the woman picked up a stick from the door and hit her head and face. The fortune teller jumped and dodged, and I was confused when I looked behind, but the fortune teller had already said that no matter what happened, he would come out to greet him, and I don't want me to intervene.
I hurried to hide behind, the woman knocked a few sticks, maybe still puzzled, carried the stick and chased it out again.
"Tweet, what are you doing? I'm a fifty-year-old anyway. What kind of chasing, chasing, and beating like this..." The fortune teller hid while begging for mercy.
Seeing this, I can see that the fortune teller has something to do with this woman, and the fortune teller is probably at a loss, so he only gets beaten and doesn't fight back.
"Don't think that you secretly send some stinky money every year, and I won't beat you! You wicked thing!"
The women chased them more and more fiercely. After chasing for a long time, the fortune teller simply stopped and said: "You hit it, you hit it, I've seen it out, you won't give up if you don't ask you to breathe like this... Oops..."
As soon as the god fortune teller stopped, the woman came up with a stick and was knocking on the god fortune teller’s head. This was the top bar used by households in the country. It was as thick as my forearm, and the woman’s hands were heavy. This stick came down and immediately The head of the fortuneteller opened, and a stream of blood flowed down his forehead.
"You... Your hand is too heavy..." The fortune teller stretched out his hand to cover his head, and said grimly: "Isn't it enough to hit two sticks..."
The woman was shocked when she saw the blood flowing from the fortune teller, but she was still very angry, dropped the stick, turned around and ran back to the yard, writhing in the house for a while, and took a box out.
"This is something you secretly send every year, I am not rare! I will return it to you now! Take the thing and get out!"
Kang Dang...
The woman was very temperamental, and threw the heavy box directly in front of the fortune teller. The box was broken all at once, and the contents smashed to the ground.
With the last afterglow of the setting sun, my eyes were immediately pierced by a burst of gold and silver. The box was slowly filled with rolls of ocean wrapped in red paper, and there were more than a dozen small jewelry boxes, which were not gold jewelry or pearl jade. The box was not big, but the contents were worth a lot of money.
I feel incredible. I know the virtues of God fortunetelling. But I know the best. He has to find a way to taste the saltiness of the car that pulls the dung. He usually doesn't pick anything, but he is so generous to this woman.
As a result, I am even more sure that the fortune teller must owe others something.
"What are you doing, what are you doing..." With blood on his head, the fortuneteller saw that the box was broken, he rushed over and reinstalled the scattered things.
"Get out!" The woman ignored the gods, turned and went into the courtyard, trying to close the courtyard door.
"Tuier!" The fortune teller didn't catch up this time, but just shouted in the same place: "Do you know what the letter was written before the master died!"
When these words were spoken, the woman really stopped. She might want to know, but she couldn't pull her face down. She turned her face slightly and didn't turn around.
"That letter, I have kept it for so many years. I didn't intend to let you read it." The fortune-teller carefully took out a paper bag wrapped in greased paper several layers inside and outside from his body, and said: "But, You misunderstood me so deeply again, I can’t help but ask you to see it."
The woman finally turned around slowly. The fortune teller knew that she was angry and did not force it, so he raised his hand and threw the paper bag over. The woman reached out to catch it, opened the paper bag,
Inside are two pages full of words.
I couldn't see what was written on the paper, but the woman looked at it, her hands were trembling slightly, and when she finished reading, she suddenly raised her head and glanced at the fortune teller.
"Master's letter, no one can forge it. You don't suspect that it is my fake master's notes. I wrote this letter?" The foreman smiled bitterly and slowly got up from the ground. The blood on his forehead gradually dried up. , Raised his hand and wiped it, sighed again, and said: "Tui Er, no one is to blame for this matter, just blame, our lives are not good..."
God fortune tellers also had masters back then. People in this category were relatively calm in nature and didn't seek fame or fortune. They only looked at fate when they accepted disciples. Shen Suanzi followed his master when he was very young. After several years of studying, the master and disciples get along with each other day and night, empathizing with father and son.
His master originally only intended to accept such an apprentice as the god fortune teller, but one winter, when the master took the god fortune teller who was less than ten years old when he went out, he accidentally encountered a discarded baby girl. People at that age were patriarchal, and many households wanted boys. Sometimes they gave birth to girls but couldn't support them, or gave them away, or just throw them away. The master of the fortune teller picked up the baby girl, and couldn't bear to see her starving to death, so she adopted it.
In this way, this baby girl was also accepted as an apprentice, and she learned art together with the fortune teller and grew up together.
God fortune teller is a little stiff, but he has a good temper, and he is actually very caring for his own people. After this junior sister grew up, she relied heavily on the fortune teller, and felt that the fortune teller was the best man in the world. They also promised secretly that when they were older, they would tell their master that they planned to get married.
One year, the fortune teller went out, and it took a long time to go out. Before the person came back, the master would not do it. Before he died, the master confessed some words and left a special letter for the younger sister of the fortune teller to take good care of it, and wait for the fortuneteller to return. After that, hand it to him personally.
It was three or four months before the god fortune teller rushed back. At that time, his master was buried, and the younger sister gave the master's letter to the god fortuneteller. After the god fortune teller finished reading, he didn't say anything. After a few more days, he left with his junior sister and came to this small village.
The fortune teller settled down the junior sister, and then said that she had something, the younger sister didn't know it, just because she trusted the god fortuneteller in her heart, so once the god fortune teller left, the junior sister was waiting here.
The letter left by the master of the fortune teller explained some of the matters in the master’s door, and more importantly, he solemnly told the fortune teller, saying that the fate of the fortune teller and the junior sister are not in harmony with each other. If it is If they really become relatives, the fate of both will be extremely miserable.
The fortune teller read the letter from the master, but he still couldn't say anything to the younger sister. He thought, settle the younger sister here for two years at most. If the younger sister can't wait for someone, maybe she will find a way out by herself.
The fortune teller had been away for two years. He came back and took a peek. He found that the junior sister was still living in the mountains. He couldn't bear it. He went to meet with the other party. But when he really met, the fortune teller still couldn't speak. In the end, he quietly gone.
Since then, the fortune teller will come once a year, avoiding meeting with the younger sister, but keeping all the money he saved during the year. He also left a letter, asking the younger sister to take the money, go down the mountain by herself, find a good way out, and then find a good family to marry. However, his junior sister was stubborn and stayed here for almost twenty years, and never left.
