Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 16

Qingyu whispered in the ears of Shi'an and Hongtao, and both of them were surprised when they heard it.Hongtao's eyes flickered, and she held up a thumb and whispered, "As expected of the master sister."

Shi'an smiled slightly, patted Qingyu's head habitually, and softly whispered in Qingyu's ear, "As expected of being the master sister."

Qing Yu coughed, thinking to herself where is this going.Think back then, she was racking her brains for Taoism to make a living.

With her hands behind her back, the old god chose a place a little further away, and called the others to sit down.

Everyone else looked at her in confusion, what's the deal?But just as he was guessing, he saw Hongtao and Shi'an separated by a foot, and they sat cross-legged on the ground with a cloth spread in front of them.

Then Heart closed her eyes, shook her head and shouted in a rhythmic tone: "Look at the face, you can see the face, family face, tomb face, and astrology, and you can see good luck and disease, twenty copper coins per person, no charge. "

Shi'an took a look at Hongtao and imitated her words, but his tone was gentle and elegant. If his face was not too thin and dark, he would have looked like an elegant scholar. Avoid bad luck and change fate, twenty copper coins per person, no money allowed or accepted.”

Heart raised her voice again: "If you want to know whether it is advisable to take a boat today, whether you will lose your money, and where to go to avoid disasters, then take a look and do the calculations. If you don't want money, you must." Not only will you save money, but you will save lives.

Not two taels, not twenty taels, just twenty copper coins.The first ten distinguished guests can get ten copper coins cheaper. "

A group of people on the bank of the river turned their heads in unison, seeing that it was two children, they turned back indifferently, and continued to entangle and bargain with the boatman.

As for the other group of idlers waiting to enjoy the price reduction, they looked at Shi'an and Hongtao, and someone joked: "In these days, there are all kinds of bachelors, and they are so poor that they use this method to cheat money, and they don't even look at what they look like." , If you can tell fortunes by reading astrology, how come you are so down and out, even your clothes are in tatters, and you still tell fortunes with others, what a joke."

"No, there are a lot of magic sticks these days, but it's the first time I've seen such a young one come out to be a magic stick, baby, are you adults? Did you leave you and run away?"

Hahaha~~ It caused a lot of laughter, and then someone said something embarrassing about himself, "I went to Ji'an Temple to make a fortune last month and spent five taels of silver. The old abbot said that I would get rich soon , now? Don't talk about getting rich, this is going to be bankrupt soon, and I don't know where to sleep tonight, liar."

The topic got farther and farther away, and finally gradually separated from Shi'an and Heart.The two looked at each other, one embarrassed and the other helpless.

But then I thought about it, well, it’s something that can only be obtained after a long period of time. Generally speaking, fortune-tellers are all masters of the Tao, at least in their forties or fifties, so it looks like that.But one of them is ten years old and the other is 13 years old, which is really not that convincing.

Hongtao is aggrieved and uncomfortable, thinking of her dignified Xuanmen Xiangge elder, with tens of thousands of disciples in her sect, even those who beg her to meet each other will not be able to give money, it depends on her mood, but now twenty copper coins are despised by others, really She is really angry.

She glanced at the crowd and spotted a middle-aged man in gray clothes with a blue face. She walked over and couldn't help but grab the man's hand for a while, and then stared at the man's face for a while.

The middle-aged man was startled by Heart, pushed her away, and cursed viciously: "What are you doing, you little bastard, you stinking beggar, you're so dirty, get out of here."

Heart was pushed to the ground, got up, and was so angry that she gritted her teeth, and her words became more and more ruthless.
"You are so dirty, your heart is almost rotten. Your mother died last month, your first wife died half a year ago, your concubine died a year ago, and your father died two years ago. Your family Yesterday's pigs died, chickens and ducks died, and everyone who could die died, leaving you alone, but you are not far from death, your face is black and blue, obviously you won't last until tomorrow."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then he was furious, but his eyes were full of fear. He pointed at the heart with trembling fingers,

"Who are you, little bastard? What do you want to do when you inquire about my family affairs? If anyone in my family dies, it's none of your business? Let me tell you, the neighbors around you know about these things, you little bastard, look, I won't beat you to death."

As the middle-aged man spoke, he raised his hand to hit him. The surrounding people were startled and backed away, fearing that he would get into trouble too.

But who knew that just as the middle-aged man raised his hand, for some reason, his feet slipped.He was standing on the bank of the river. When he slipped and leaned back, he fell into the water.

Most people on the shore didn't know what was going on, they only heard a "plop", and then heard intermittent calls for help. Then everyone realized that someone had fallen into the water, and the scene suddenly became chaotic. Some people called for help, some Backed away in fear, afraid that he would fall too, and some people gloated and watched.

The middle-aged man was really terrified now, he looked at Heart, "Help me, save me, I'll give you money, help me."

But Hongtao groaned, "Not everyone still has a chance to be rescued. You are already hopeless. You have committed too many crimes in this life. This is God's punishment for you. Just bear it."

The middle-aged man looked at the boatman again, and the boatman smiled and said "one", "I can save you, 100 taels, the money first."

The middle-aged man was desperate. His body sank to the bottom of the water under the watchful eyes of more than 100 pairs of eyes on the scene. Only a few bubbles appeared before disappearing completely.

Hongtao sat back to the position just now with a high air, with her legs crossed, her gaze scanning the crowd around her.

The faces of those few people who had seen the whole story froze with fright.Probably because of the horrific death of the middle-aged man just now, no one dared to speak at the scene, only a few boatmen didn't take it seriously, seeing that everyone was silent, they asked lazily:

"Still sitting or not? If I don't sit, I will leave. Now the official road is blocked and the Qu Guo soldiers are sweeping the city again. I'm afraid they will be able to search here in less than an hour. Don't say 20 taels by then. Even if you give me 200 taels, I won’t carry it.”

These words broke the dead silence again, and the crowd started chattering again. Some people were still trying to bargain, and some people heard that there was only one hour to escape, and they were in a hurry, and they simply wanted to pay and leave.

Heart rested her chin on her right hand, leaned her elbow on her cross-legged kneecap, her voice was not too loud, but it was just enough for everyone present to hear, "The man just now, his face was pitch-black, he had already lost all vitality, even without me, He will surely die today.

And the man is against the water, so no matter what, he will fall into the water and drown.

Many of you are also facing the water, but you still dare to walk the waterway. Aren't you afraid to be like that person just now, who fell into the water and drowned without even a corpse? "
