Chen Sanlianzi,
At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Chen Sanlian, who hung three talismans on one person, was my father?
How can I believe this?
You know, Aunt Hua and I have been together in the world for eight years. How could I not know what the light words in Aunt Hua's mouth mean at this moment?
On the rivers and lakes, there are three hundred and sixty-five yin and yang elements corresponding to each other.
Among them, the most famous ones are undoubtedly the four major thieves, and Chen Sanlianzi, as Aunt Hua calls it, is an older generation of thieves who can touch gold and make a fortune.
"Are you surprised?"
"Kind of."
"Don't be surprised, there is something more terrible to come."
Aunt Hua looked at me and poured a glass of wine.
I was so shaken that I didn't say anything for a long time, but Aunt Hua ignored me. She moved the wine glass to me, looked into my eyes and said.
"Originally, I shouldn't have said this to you. When I found you, I was only looking after my old friend. If you are an old man who can't afford it, I will give you a sum of money so that you can do it with peace of mind. As a rich man, I have also forgiven the debt I owed you to the Chen family."
"But after all, you, the Chen family, have been doing this since you were born. This is a rule set by God. You can't live without eating the bowl of rice given to you."
"Seventy percent of your ability is enough, no matter where you put it."
Aunt Hua's voice was cold, colder than the snow outside the house.
To be honest, this was the first time in eight years that I heard Aunt Hua talk to me like this. I wanted to ask, but when the words came to my lips, nothing came out.
Aunt Hua pursed her lips and continued.
"Xiao Man, from now on, you have left the army, and you have to walk the road ahead by yourself."
"If you listen to Aunt Hua, remember to stay in Chang'an for three years. There is something that belongs to you in this place. If you can get it within three years, then... go north."
In a word,
I panicked instantly and couldn't even care about the identity of the man who had just shocked me.
I have been with Aunt Hua for eight years, and we have been close to each other for eight years. I have long regarded Aunt Hua as the closest person in my life. Now that Aunt Hua asked me to go on my own, I suddenly panicked.
"Aunt Hua, you...don't want me anymore?"
My voice trembled, and tears fell down all at once.
"You have no future, why are you crying? I am a man who bleeds but does not shed tears."
"Aunt Hua has watched you grow up, how could she not want you?"
Aunt Hua glared at me,
Then I reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of my eyes, and then stretched out my finger to point to the glass of wine that had just been poured.
"Drink it."
My body trembled and I quickly held the cup, fearing that Aunt Hua would really leave me if I was a little slow. When I raised my head, the spicy wine passed through my throat, stimulating my internal organs.
This wine is too strong and too intoxicating.
It was my first time drinking alcohol again.
Just two ordinary glasses of wine were enough to make me dizzy, but Aunt Hua had no intention of giving up. She reached out and filled the glass again.
"Drink more!"
"continue!"
"Come again!"
Aunt Hua stared at me and kept refilling the glass, and when I drank the whole pot of old wine, I just felt that the wine was so strong that I tilted my head, and I didn’t know anything for a long time.
In a daze,
I vaguely felt that Aunt Hua was holding my head surprisingly tenderly.
She looked at me and sat under the lamp for a long time.
And at that time,
I have no idea what Aunt Hua asked me to drink. It was called Tianxian Zui, and that pot of old wine had another name, called Enmity.
By the time I woke up again, it was already three days later.
The first thing I did when I opened my eyes was to look for Aunt Hua, but all I could see was the old wrinkled face of the landlady. He told me that the beautiful woman who looked like a fairy had left, and told me not to go. Find her.
Aunt Hua...
Don't want me anymore?
My head was buzzing, so I searched frantically. However, I have followed Aunt Hua for eight years and I don’t know her methods. If she makes up her mind and wants to leave, let alone me, there are so many people in this world. How many people can find it.
But I don't want to give up.
I still have a lot of questions to ask, and a lot of feelings to say.
I want to tell her that I like her.
I want to ask her why she wants me to stay here for three years.
Then……
Go north.
I was walking dizzy on the streets of Chang'an. The streets of Chang'an surrounded by rivers were so bustling that it seemed like a human being. But I was walking alone, but I was out of tune with the noise around me.
The cold wind blew on my face, and my mood gradually calmed down.
to be honest,
At this moment, I still don’t know Aunt Hua’s intentions, but one thing I know very well is that Aunt Hua never talks in vain. She must have her intentions when she does this.
"Three years..."
I ate a bowl of noodles on the street, and when I was full, I hurried toward the city center.
In 1998, science and technology developed and antiques flourished.
The Chenghuang Temple in the center of Chang'an has always been a holy place for literati and poets. The charm of the ancient capital of thirteen dynasties has always fascinated people. On the back street of the Chenghuang Temple is the antique market, which is famous throughout the country.
But few people know that the antique market behind the City God's Temple is divided into cultural and martial arts markets.
Wenwan refers to jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and things on the surface.
Some of the things in it are real and some are fake. Tourists join in the fun and buy real or fake goods, all depends on their eyesight, while insiders pick up the missing items and make a fortune. The scale is not inferior to that of Panjiayuan in Beijing and North and South Road.
And this fight,
It is not a place that ordinary tourists can go.
Gambling on stones, gambling on paintings, crushing insects, and skewers, any place with these words is not suitable for ordinary people to participate in. It is easy to get in without any wealth, and it is difficult to get out.
more importantly,
This is a place for insiders.
I walked into the Chenghuang Temple and directly entered the place where the martial arts was held.
And I didn't choose this place for anything else. Based on my ability, I can't find any clues about Aunt Hua, but the martial arts place is a mixed bag, cats have their own cat houses, rats have their own ways, and no one can underestimate the Jianghu people.
Along the way, many people practicing stalls nearby were shouting and shouting.
Some people beat their chests and stamp their feet,
Some people were excited and ecstatic and made a fortune.
soon,
My footsteps appeared in front of a stall,
The stall owners are a man and a woman, and depending on how close they are, they are two siblings.
The man has a fleshy face and a body painted with dragons and phoenixes, and he is not easy to mess with at first glance. The woman looks soft and weak, and speaks in a gentle voice. But if anyone really underestimates this girl, I am afraid he will be ruined. Green intestines.
What they played was Three Immortals Returning to the Cave.
Three small balls and three empty bowls,
The stall owner moves the empty bowl and guesses the small ball in the bowl. If the guess is correct, it is calculated as a small ball. A small ball is priced at 100 yuan.
In the 1990s, 100 yuan was a lot, and you could also add bets.
The Three Immortals Returning to the Cave was originally a folk trick.
However, in the world of martial arts, it is clearly regarded as a tool to make money. The main reason is that technology is not developed in these days, let alone now. Even in the streets and alleys a few decades later, you can still see one or two.
But what surprised me was,
This pair of brother and sister stall owners obviously have some skills. You must know that the biggest difficulty in Sanxian Guidong is hand speed. There are even real experts. Even if they put the lens of a high-speed camera there, unless it is filled with dozens of times, otherwise it would not be visible at all, and this girl's hand speed is obviously not slow.
"Buy it and leave it, buy it and leave it."
"open!"
The girl pursed her lips, reached out and opened the empty bowl, and three small balls appeared in the sight of the onlookers. "Congratulations to this big brother, raise your bet five times, keep it for one thousand and fifty."
"Then the next game, does anyone else place a bet?"
Someone wins, and naturally someone loses. Seeing the girl quickly counting a dozen hundred-dollar bills and handing them to the winning brother, she immediately beat her chest and feet angrily, lamenting her bad luck.
But I saw it right away.
This brother and sister were not only setting up a trap, but they also invited him to be dragged here.
In this way, although the stall is not big, there are quite a few pedestrians stopping there, dozens in total. Even if only a few of them feel itchy, they will probably make a lot of money.
This is trying to take it all.
I smiled, walked over, and took out all the hundreds of dollars I had left from eating noodles.
Not much, just seven hundred.
The stall girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
