Chapter 17 The Old Blind

the other side.

Fulai Inn.

After Bai Zhanfei left, Lu Si was also thinking about future storytellers.

After this incident, he guessed that Bai Zhanfei was afraid that he would not be able to continue his storytelling here.

Even if Bai Zhanfei agrees, the Bai family will not agree.

If I don't want to continue the storytelling, I can only find another person to replace it.

It's just that the candidate for the storyteller really made Lu Si a little worried, and he didn't know how to find it.

After thinking about it, Lu Si felt that this matter should not be rushed.

When it came to Feng Kun, his gaze sank slightly.

Feng Kun actually beat him to death in front of him today, which really surprised him.

It can also be seen that this person is narrow-minded, and his actions are fierce. Even if he retreats today, he obviously will not let it go.

"It's a pity that I haven't seen the method of the five tigers going up the mountain today."

Lu Si sighed slightly, feeling a little regretful.

He has been traveling for a long time, and he has never fought against warriors in this world, so he really wants to know his current methods.

The last time I taught Zhang San a lesson, it wasn't really a hand at all. After all, Zhang San's three-legged cat kung fu was praised by people who practiced martial arts.

"Forget it. Sooner or later there will be a time to do it, and maybe I won't let myself wait too long."

"I just hope that Feng Kun won't let me down too much when the time comes."

Suddenly, Lu Si smiled slightly, with a look of anticipation in his eyes.

really.

Early the next morning.

Lu Si received a message from Bai Zhanfei, saying that he could not continue the storytelling, presumably he was grounded by his family.

He didn't care about it, anyway, he had guessed it before.

But without Bai Zhanfei, Lu Si could only speak on stage by himself.

It was not until the guests dispersed in the afternoon that they had the opportunity to leave the inn.

Walking on the street, Lu Siben planned to see if he could find a suitable storyteller.

But after looking around, I couldn't find one in the evening.

Just as she was about to leave in disappointment, she suddenly heard a voice from the side.

"Ma'am, this old man's palms are messed up when he touches you, I'm afraid there will be a bloodbath in the near future!"

At the corner of the street, an old blind man wearing a tattered robe and half-closed eyes was sitting on a small stool.

There is a small stall in front of it, with a banner hanging on it, with the four big characters of "Iron mouth breaks gold", it is actually a fortune teller.

At this time, the old blind man was holding the hand of an old woman, shaking his head, and said it in a serious manner.

Surrounded by a few children, they also shook their heads and smiled, which made people laugh.

Seeing the scene, Lu Si was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help laughing.

I never imagined that in this world, such a thing would happen.

The familiar lines, the familiar script, if he hadn't changed the lines, he really thought that someone had traveled through time.

As a result, the old woman said in a trembling voice with an anxious expression.

"Master, this...how can this be done?"

The old blind man sighed and said, "Originally, the old Taoist should not interfere with this matter, so it shows that you are sincere. Anyway, I just have a piece of talisman paper here, as long as you stick it at home, you can avoid evil."

As he spoke, he took out a tattered talisman paper from his bosom, on which strange symbols could be vaguely seen.

But the old woman felt like she had found a treasure, and said happily: "Thank you, Master, thank you, Master."

With an expression of gratitude, he even took out a dozen or so coins from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

The old blind man was not polite either, he handed the talisman paper to the other party after receiving the money, and the latter left happily.

As soon as the old woman left, the children around her surrounded her, scrambling to speak.

"Hey! Old blind man, tell me what happened to Hu Fei?"

"Yes, is Miao Renfeng really that powerful?"

The old blind man cleared his throat, and cursed: "A group of little white-eyed wolves, they know that they listen to Lao Tzu's stories for nothing, and don't even give them a copper."

Even though he didn't give the words, he still shook his head and said.

Looking at the scene, Lu Si was slightly stunned, no wonder there were several children around.

Unexpectedly, this old blind man can not only tell fortunes, but also tell stories.

I saw the old blind man eloquently, and his words were fascinating, and the children listened with great interest.

After talking for a while, the old blind man stopped.

"Okay, that's all for today, don't think my saliva is for nothing, old blind man."

The little fellows were giggling, without saying anything, they skipped and left, apparently knowing the old blind man's temper.

"This old gentleman, I wonder if you can make a fortune for me?"

Lu Si's heart skipped a beat, he stepped forward and spoke with a smile.

The old blind man raised his eyebrows, pinched a few strands of his beard pretendingly, and sighed with a moved expression.

"This young master is really good-looking. There is a dragon hidden in the abyss, the wealth is overwhelming, and the future is limitless in the future!"

"Oh? The old man still reads faces?"

Lu Si just found it funny.

It is really an anecdote that a blind man knows how to read faces.

The old blind man shook his head and said: "Young master, you don't know something. As the saying goes, the face is born from the heart, and the sound is transmitted from the heart. Old blind man, although I am blind, my ears are very sharp. I can tell that the young man is thinking. For those of you who are thorough, you have been fortunate enough to swim in the Long Shoal recently, and it won't be long before you soar to the sky!"

Lu Si couldn't help but be surprised by the soundness of a sentence.

"Could it be that this old blind man is really capable?" Lu Si was startled.

But he didn't want to, the old blind man changed the subject: "However, I see that the young master seems to have suffered a bloody disaster recently. It just so happens that I have a piece of ancestral talisman, which should be able to solve the disaster for the young master."

As he spoke, he took out another piece of crumpled yellow paper from his bosom.

The same rhetoric, the same routine.

Lu Si almost laughed out of breath, unexpectedly, he was almost bluffed by this old guy.

At this moment, he also understood. No wonder so many people know that fortune-telling is unreliable, but they are still willing to be deceived.

Who wouldn't want to spend a little money on dim sum?
Lu Si smiled and said, "I don't know how much this talisman is worth?"

The old blind man said solemnly, "Not much, just one tael of silver."

Just now the old woman only paid a dozen Wen, but now she actually asked herself for a tael of silver.

Lu Si smiled and did not expose it, directly took out a piece of silver, and threw it in front of the booth with a clang.

The old blind man sneaked a glance with his half-closed eyes, seeing the ingot of silver worth at least four or five taels, he felt a surge of excitement, knowing that he had met a big master.

"The old man thinks this money is enough?"

Lu Si laughed and said.

The old blind man nodded repeatedly: "Enough, enough."

"The old man has really good eyesight. He knows that the money is enough."

Lu Si laughed.

The old blind man blushed, and said calmly: "The old man is getting older, and his hearing is naturally sharper than ordinary people."

As he said that, he reached out to pick up the silver, but found nothing.

Lu Si squeezed the money in his hand, smiled and said: "The old gentleman is looking to see which hand the money is in? As long as he guesses correctly, the money will be given to you."

At this moment, the old blind man knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he quickly opened his eyes and smiled wryly.

"Mr. Lu, stop joking with the old man. The old man is just earning a little money to make ends meet."

A pair of eyes are very clear, how can they look blind.

Lu Si wasn't surprised. He felt something was wrong just now. How could a blind man speak so well of the book?
Could it be that someone said it word by word and asked him to recite it?

"The old man is really brave. People who talk about my book and dare to lie to me, do you really think I'm easy to bully?"

Lu Si's face changed and he sneered.

"Mr. Lu, what are you talking about?" The old blind man denied it.

Lu Si grabbed the other party and said calmly: "Since it's not a lie, please go to the yamen with me, old gentleman. I remember that old lady didn't go very far just now."

The old blind man's face turned pale with fright, if he went to the yamen, he wouldn't be able to leave.

"Sir Lu, tell me what you want this old man to do."

Knowing that this man had ulterior motives, the old blind man had no choice but to give in with a smile.

"I just heard that the old man's book is good. It just so happens that my inn is still short of a storyteller. I wonder if the old man is willing now?"

When Lu Si heard this, she also smiled.

However, seeing what this person said was good just now, he suddenly felt that the other party might be a good candidate.

"Let the old man tell the story?"

The corner of the old blind man's mouth twitched, his expression reluctant.

"Don't be unwilling, old man, I won't let you talk for nothing."

Lu Si took out the silver just now, and said lightly.

"As long as the old man agrees, the money in my hand will be yours. And in the future, the money that should be there will be less."

"This?"

The old blind man immediately hesitated.

This is obviously a lot of money, which is much better than fortune-telling here, and besides, there is no need to be out in the wind and rain all day.

"Mr. Lu is so kind to invite you, if the old blind man refuses, he will be ignorant."

The old blind man knew that he couldn't refuse, and the other party made it clear that he was sure of him, and the offer was good, so he agreed.

Lu Si smiled lightly, as if she expected the old blind man to make such a choice.

After all, people who have been wandering outside all year round are also the best at judging the situation.

He was about to say something, but suddenly his expression changed, and he suddenly changed his words.

"The old man must know where the inn is, so I won't accompany you there. When you arrive at the inn, just tell me that I asked you to come, and someone will entertain you."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party to reply, he just walked towards the side alley on his own.
