More than ten years later, the boy who played with the slingshot and gun had grown up, got married and had children. His family was in Saiwan Village. Since there were many brothers in the family, he was only given two bungalows, which were not enough. He dreamed of getting rich in the future. A small western-style building was built on the lake to take full advantage of the scenery.
His nickname is Qilizuan. As long as there is something beneficial to do, he will sharpen his head and dig in, and he will not give up until he sees the benefit. His real name is Hua Dafu, but he is not even a small fortune. Although he is so clever and good at calculating, he cannot change his family's poverty.
Last time, Hua Dafu heard someone say that there was a fig tree in the courtyard of Pei Minsheng's house. The figs it produced were very profitable. He also wanted to plant a fig tree, but the seedlings he got always failed to survive. They either withered and died. Roots rot.
Hua Dafu was unconvinced and had no choice. He passed by Pei Minsheng's house and saw the lush fig tree in the yard, like an open green umbrella. He became unreasonably jealous of Pei Minsheng and wished that the fig tree could make a lot of money. It belongs to his own family. For him, this is of course a crazy fantasy.
He also knows that fantasy is useless and that it is better to be realistic. However, Hua Dafu is practical and inevitably uses his brain. He planned to wait for the fig tree in Pei Minsheng's courtyard to mature and then make a sneak attack.
After a few months, the figs will ripen, and the fragrant aroma can be smelled a few kilometers away from the courtyard.
Hua Dafu went through the collection site and prepared a folding ladder and a snakeskin bag. In the dead of night, he took the ladder and climbed over the courtyard wall of Pei Minsheng's house, tiptoed to the foot of the fig tree, and was about to climb up the tree. When picking the fragrant figs, he never expected that as soon as he touched the trunk, the whole tree would make a whooshing sound.
Hua Dafu did not regain his composure. For some reason, bricks and tiles fell from the cracks in the tree, hitting him head-on and bleeding. However, he did not dare to make a sound, so he had to duck away immediately.
He turned over the courtyard wall and his scalp was still bleeding, so he rushed to the town hospital for treatment overnight. The doctor asked him what happened, and he lied and said that his house had not been repaired for many years, and the tiles at the top collapsed and hit his head.
The doctor said that if you were injured in a fight, you can still argue with the other party and ask the other party to pay for the medical expenses, but now you can't find anyone, so you have to admit that you are unlucky.
Hearing this, Hua Dafu hated Pei Minsheng deeply. If he didn't have a fig tree in his house, I wouldn't have thought of stealing figs. If I didn't think of stealing figs, I wouldn't be injured by bricks and tiles falling from the tree.
He never understood why bricks and tiles grew on the trees instead of figs. Hua Dafu was puzzled, but he couldn't tell anyone about his doubts and the true condition of his head injury. If he told anyone, he would be laughed at or criticized.
People will talk about you behind your back or to your face. If you are a robber and steal things and get injured by magical bricks and tiles, it is the tree god who is punishing you. You deserve it! Who told you to steal? This is something you don’t need money to buy.
Hua Dafu spent a month and a half recovering from his head injury before he was discharged from the hospital. He deeply hated Pei Minsheng and attempted to take revenge.
Hearing that Shan Tianji from a neighboring village was good at magic and strategy, he planned to bribe Shan Tianji to give him an idea to take revenge on Pei Minsheng.
Hua Dafu had a beautiful idea. He bought a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of wine as a gift to Shan Tianji from a neighboring village. Unexpectedly, he refused to accept it. How did he know? Shan Tianji is now a famous figure. He is known as Shan Banxian because he once predicted that a person would die in a car accident at a certain time and it was undoubtedly fulfilled.
Later, not many people knew his real name, but many people knew his name was Shan Banxian. Shan Banxian is no better than an ordinary charlatan. He wanders around and is suspected of defrauding people of their money. He usually stays at home. He only makes an apricot-yellow flag with the words "Shan Banxian" and puts it on the eaves of his house. The flag faces the wind. The exhibition is very eye-catching and naturally plays the role of a signature advertisement.
But it's not that he just takes it for granted when someone comes to him. He said to people, although I, Shan Banxian, can calculate, I never scheme against good people. Even if they are bad people, as long as they are not extremely bad, I will not scheme easily. Scheming people and causing disasters will lead to loss of life and fortune. No matter how much money I make, I don't want to do it because I am making money that is unintentional or unintentional.
Hua Dafu came to him to plot against Pei Minsheng, but of course he refused, because Pei Minsheng was a good man. Why would you plot against Pei Minsheng, a good man?
But Hua Dafu didn't think so. Instead, he felt that the gift he gave was not of high quality and not worth much. Shan Banxian rejected him because he looked down on him.
Hua Dafu also heard that Shan Banxian had worked in civil engineering in his early years, and he could not only understand general architectural drawings, but also draw them. Ten years ago, the arch bridge at the head of Xiwan Village was successfully built according to his drawings.
Later, a construction company in the county hired him as a technician, specializing in drawing architectural drawings. When building a building according to his architectural drawings, some people cut corners or the building materials were of poor quality. The building had just been completed. When a home buyer walked to the balcony of the newly purchased house, the balcony suddenly collapsed and he was thrown to death.
The person who was held responsible for this matter actually found Shan Tianji. He did not disengage. The deceased reported him and his boss together. Both he and his boss were arrested and detained for 15 days. The reason for the accusation was that the architectural drawings he drew had Safety issues are as much to blame as the construction boss.
After he was released from the detention center, he gave up drawing architectural drawings for others, and instead studied with fortune tellers, Feng Shui masters, and I Ching Bagua predictions. Within a year and a half, he started working alone and became quite accomplished.
Hua Dafu thought about it, could he use Shan Tianji's skills to cater to his strengths and achieve the purpose of getting close to him?
He frowned and finally had an idea, so he talked to Shan Tianji and told him that he had a relative who worked in the county government and was in charge of construction projects in the county. If he could get a project, he could make a lot of money. He also said it in a transactional tone, as long as you, Shan Banxian, can help me figure out Pei Minsheng, I will do everything possible to help you get a project.
Who is Shan Banxian? He asked the flaw in just a few words, because Hua Dafu's words were irrational and full of layman's words that could not withstand scrutiny. Shan Banxian turned around, pointed at the door and said, "Let's go!" I'm not interested in the project you're talking about.
Hua Dafu looked at him and said nothing, looking very embarrassed, then turned around and left, still not giving up.
Hua Dafu walked along the lakeside for a while, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: If you do what you like in everything, success is almost guaranteed.
He also heard that Shan Banxian was a romantic half-xian who was not interested in anything but beautiful women.
He suddenly thought of a beautiful woman named Yang Hua in the village. She was almost thirty years old, but she had never been married. She was very depressed.
The reason is that handsome men toyed with her repeatedly, but refused to marry her, fearing that she would be cuckolded by some former partners who had no connection with her in the future.
But she didn't like ordinary-looking men, so she grew older and became a beautiful leftover girl.
Hua Dafu wanted to introduce Yang Hua to Shan Banxian to satisfy his lust, so that he could do what he wanted and win over Shan Banxian to help him harm Pei Minsheng.
There are actually difficulties in doing this. First of all, Yang Hua needs to be interested in Shan Banxian, otherwise there is no talk.
Hua Dafu also had some tricks up his sleeve. He returned to the village and found Yang Hua. He first spoke from Yang Hua's point of view, saying that she was so old and beautiful, but she just couldn't find the right person. Was she in bad luck? Do you want to change your destiny?
This just touched on Yang Hua's pain point. Yang Hua sighed and said, if I can't find the person I like, I would rather be single for the rest of my life.
Hua Dafu told her not to be pessimistic, and asked her if she wanted to change her destiny or find someone to figure it out? In order to give you some guidance.
Yang Hua said, it doesn't matter if you do the math, where is the master?
Hua Dafu saw that he had come to the main topic, and then talked about Shan Banxian. Yang Hua became excited and expressed her willingness to meet Shan Banxian to calculate her marriage fortune.
