"You...you are talking nonsense!"
"Really? Let's look at the word thin. First, let's look at the original meaning of the word. What is thin? Thinness is a disease, which means you are sick. Why are you sick? Let's remove the prefix of the word sick and add a female character. .It’s the word for sister-in-law.”
I tapped the word "thin" on the ground with a small bamboo stick and whispered.
When the people around him heard this, they suddenly felt magical. At this time, there were more people watching.
Someone asked: "Then you just said that he smelled his sister-in-law's shoes. How did you tell that?"
"The secret must not be leaked. Just ask this big brother, am I right?" I took out a dollar and handed it to the big brother.
The elder brother nodded and smiled: "I don't know if my friend has smelled his sister-in-law's shoes, but it is true that he likes his sister-in-law. I can vouch for this little brother!"
"Wow! It's really accurate!"
"So, five dollars! Just think of it as money for medical treatment. If you want to get better, first, take the medicine according to my grandfather's prescription. Second, stop all bad behaviors, such as smelling smelly shoes and breaking corns. Just stop doing it every day!"
"Break the corn?"
The middle-aged man understood quickly, threw down the five dollars and hurried away.
As a result, there was an endless stream of people asking me and the blind master to tell fortunes. We didn’t catch the train all day long. Anyway, I am traveling, and it doesn’t matter where I travel, so why not earn more money on fares here?
We stayed in the town for three days in a row.
On this day, we found that people from fifty miles away came to tell us fortunes, which scared Master and me...
"Are we already that famous?" the blind master asked me in confusion.
"It's not..."
"It seems that this place is not suitable for staying for a long time!"
The blind master asked me to put the money in my pocket and hurried to the station.
"Excuse me, are there any buses to the city?" I asked standing in the parking lot behind the station.
In the early 1990s, many towns and villages did not have stations. The town where we bought the tickets is relatively developed, but there is no standardized ticket purchase window. We all get on the bus temporarily and the driver on the bus collects the money.
"Are you two going to the city?"
There was a van parked at the station and the man in the van asked us.
The blind master pulled me, maybe because he felt that the aura of the other person was not right.
After all, I was only six years old, and a real newborn calf was not afraid of tigers. I ignored my master’s reminder and started chatting with the man.
"The normal fare to the city is 8 yuan per person, which is more than 100 kilometers away. There are no cars now, so why don't you wait one night in the town. If it's urgent, I can take you there, and I'll give you 20 yuan per person. !”
As the man spoke, he glanced at my backpack, obviously testing whether we had any money.
Although I am young, I am not stupid either.
"Take your car? No! We want to take a regular minibus!"
"Regular minibus?"
When the man saw that we weren't going to take his car, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Master, it seems we can't leave today! Why don't we eat something first and set off early tomorrow morning."
"Sure! Then, have something to eat!"
So I took Master towards the mutton soup pot, and the two of us spent ten yuan near the bus station and ate two large bowls of meat. The master felt that it was not enough, so he asked the jelly seller next to him to bring two bowls of jelly.
"How much? Only thirty cents?"
All I can say is that prices in the 1990s were really cheap! You can buy a bowl of jelly for only thirty cents!
"Disciple, how did you know just now that that man likes to smell his sister-in-law's shoes? How did you figure it out?"
The blind master came over and asked me in a low voice.
I replied proudly: "Master, didn't you teach me to use my imagination when telling fortunes? That man coughed like that, he must have been infected by some germs. Look at him, he is fair and clean, and he doesn't look like People who do hard work. Therefore, the disciple thought that it must be caused by some bad habits. For example, smelling smelly socks or something!"
"Then you figure out that he likes his sister-in-law, plus he indulges in too much, so you think..."
When the blind master said this, he hit my head with the fan in his hand.
"You kid can do it! A master is better than a master. Master has lived for 300 years and still doesn't have such spirituality as you!"
"Don't even look at your disciple's background!"
"Tsk tsk! Look what you can get!"
After the master and apprentice had eaten and drank enough, they were ready to find a hotel to stay.
Unexpectedly, the man who drove the van just now walked towards us again, this time smiling from afar.
"Uncle, little brother, you haven't left yet? Do you know that there is another station in our town, but it's a little far away from here. Give me two yuan each, and I will take you there."
When we heard that there was a station in the town, the blind master and I were both happy. After all, he had made a lot of money in the town and became famous, so there was no way around it, lest he attract people from the Twenty-fourth Hall of Qi Men.
If something happens in a small place, it is easier to expose the target.
After all, at the beginning, more than half of the Twenty-Four Halls were killed or injured because of Grandpa's incident, and this problem was finally settled.
However, I was still cautious and did not answer the man's words in time. I turned back to the soup pot restaurant and asked the boss.
The boss said: "There is another bus station, and there are direct buses to the provincial capital. You can try your luck."
Just like that, Master and I got into the van.
Half an hour later, we finally arrived at another bus station. This bus station is on the top of a mountain and is relatively remote, but there are many small businesses around. It is obvious that the man did not lie to us.
"Old man, I wish you a safe journey!"
"Just wait a moment. Around six o'clock in the evening, there will be several shuttle buses to the provincial capital, and there are also buses to the city. It depends on whether you choose to go to the city to transfer to the train first, or choose to go directly to the provincial capital."
"Thank you, big brother!"
The man drove away in the van with a smile.
I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it. Asking the master is useless. I didn't find any problem with both eyes, so don't expect him, a three hundred-year-old man with only one eye.
It was half past five in the blink of an eye, and the bus was about to arrive. Master asked me to take out the money to buy the tickets, and then I opened the new green canvas bag I bought.
At that moment, I was completely confused.
"what's going on?"
Most of the money in the canvas bag turned into newspapers!
"Master! Look! Where is the money? Where did our money go?"
"Why did it become paper?"
"What kind of spell is this?"
The master and apprentice were silent for a while, and then the blind master cursed: "From Male Gobi!"
"Master, you are very knowledgeable. How do you explain this...?"
The blind master said: "Substantially change things! Disciple, this bag is not that bag! Our bag was changed by that idiot!"
"What the hell?"
I clenched my fists and was about to fight back.
