The beggar took the bun, smiled at the old man, and ate it hungrily. His cheeks trembled and he puffed up, as if he had never eaten such a thing before. He was trying to satisfy himself, but two buns can satisfy a beggar. What?
The old man who was about to get up and leave saw that he was not satisfied. He hesitated and bought 6 more buns together. The seller put them on a plate and gave them to the beggar. The old man asked: Is it enough? The beggar nodded with a "hmm". When paying, the seller pointed at the beggar and asked the old man: Who is he to you?
He is not my person. The old man smiled faintly.
The seller continued: Since he has no relatives, why are you so willing to spend money on him?
The old man said: He is very pitiful. If I don't do anything, I will never stop. If I want to feed him, I will let him eat until he is full.
The seller didn't care to listen to what he said, and looked at the beggar's wolfish face with an expression of disgust on his face.
As soon as the old man left, the seller took a film food bag, picked the three buns that the beggar had not finished eating into the bag, and said, "Take it and leave."
The beggar still had half of the missing bun wrapped in his mouth, so he took it and limped away with a stick. Just after walking out of the restaurant, the seller said to himself: Dirty, don't affect my business.
The old man was walking into a shop that sold fishing equipment. He was still thinking about how to go to sea to catch a crocodile or something. Even if there is a long-handled iron fork, it is not guaranteed to be able to deal with powerful submersible animals. Now he wants to buy a more powerful electric fish device to go to sea, which may be both safe and rewarding. Thinking this way, he asked the shopkeeper to choose a powerful electric fish device for him. It was cylindrical and one meter long, with a battery inside. The battery was small but delicate, and was concentrated, equivalent to the one used on a large truck.
The shop owner said that when the electric fish device is activated, it can electrocute a giant whale weighing more than ten tons, not to mention other submersible animals. He also demonstrated to the old man that when an electric button is pressed, this weird cylinder will extend by one grid. Each grid is exactly one meter. It can be pressed 5 times in a row, including the original length, which can be extended to 6 meters, and every time it is extended, it will extend by one meter. The net is spread out from 3 square meters to 18 square meters. No matter how large a submersible animal is, it is difficult to escape its prey.
Of course, the shop owner only pressed the button because it was difficult to fully demonstrate it in the store. You will understand at a glance how to press it next. He asked the old man to pay the money and gave him a piece of blue-checked paper with a red background and an instruction manual. He also emphasized: Submersible animals electrocuted by electric fish devices are usually suspended animation. You must pay attention to safety and ensure that they are in a state of suspended animation. When doing so, use a knife and fork quickly until the person's life is actually ended.
The old man took the electric fish device and looked left and right. He walked out of the shop and tried to press the electric button twice in a row. Just as the shop owner said, the attached fish net spread out 6 square meters. He didn't. Press again, and then press an electric button next to it to retract the two extended sections.
The old man was in a state of excitement, imagining the situation of stunning a big crocodile, seal or giant whale. If it was a big crocodile, just peeling off its skin would be quite valuable. He was a little excited, and his emotions revolved around the word "profit". right! It’s good to have money. In addition to having enough food and clothing for your family, you can also do some good deeds to alleviate poverty.
As he walked, sometimes he would hold the electric fish device tightly with both hands, as if it were a god of wealth, and he would look at it so devoutly; and sometimes he would hold the electric fish device in his arms, as if it were a piece of gold. It can be used for gold mining when it goes to sea. His home is in the south of Haiwan Town. Walking towards that direction, there is a lively street with numerous shops lined up in seven rows and eight rows. Some shops also hung advertising plaques with flags of different colors such as red, yellow, and blue. The breeze caused the flags to swing. The words on them were folded, and in some cases only half of the strokes could be seen.
There is only an apricot-yellow flag, covered with black stripes and Bagua patterns. Because the four corners of the flag are stretched tight, no matter how strong the wind is, it only bulges a little, and the pattern can still be seen very clearly. The old man didn't care to look at it, but it jumped into his eyes. There was a middle-aged man sitting under the flag, with a full black beard under his cheeks. His eyes looked at the old man sinisterly. The old man had no intention of looking at him. He had already walked in front of him, but he was stopped: Hey, you, old man, can you predict a divination?
The old man looked at him and asked how much it cost. He narrowed his eyes and said "Great Unity". Then he opened his eyes wide again: "But if I give you a hexagram, I can waive the "money"."
This made the old man confused, saying that the price he quoted was expensive, but he seemed generous at the same time. The old man smiled and said: Either I don't take the test, and if I do, how can I let you do it for free?
Because you also provide convenience to others for free, now I give you a divination test for free, which can be considered as a reward for your kindness. There was a dialogue that left the old man puzzled. How did he know that I had done good deeds? Could it be that there is something really magical about it?
The old man suddenly remembered that this middle-aged man was the well-known fortune teller Han Changqi. He was not only a great fortune teller, but also good at fortune telling. The two skills complemented each other. Whether it was fortune telling or fortune telling, he was almost accurate.
At that moment, the old man put the electric fish device under his arm and bowed his hand to him. Speaking of Han Gua Master, since you invited me to test the hexagrams, I might as well test the hexagrams!
OK Master Han shook three copper coins with a tortoise shell and counted them repeatedly, and the hexagram numbers came out. Then he told the old man: What came out was the hexagram "Fire Wind Cauldron".
Good or bad? The old man stroked his white beard and asked impatiently.
Han Changqi said that according to the hexagram theory, this hexagram subdues the gods and defeats the flying gods, so it is easy to cause violence!
Will I cause any disaster? When the old man asked this question, his heart skipped a beat.
Han Changqi looked at the old man again and said that if your water area (chin area) is black, there must be water disaster. I noticed it when you came closer just now, but I was worried that it would be inaccurate, so I asked you to test it. At present, this hexagram information is synchronized with the facial information, which indicates the bad omen of water disaster.
The old man measured out the electric fish device and said, I am planning to take it out to the sea to electric crocodile. He shook the electric fish device again: So didn’t this guy buy it for nothing?
Which one is more valuable, this guy or your life? Han Changqi advised him in a rhetorical tone and said I won't charge you a penny, so just go!
The old man asked: Why don't you take my money? Aren't you fortune tellers looking for income?
Han Changqi replied: Of course you are right, but for a person who is facing bad luck, we can afford to lose money by waiving the money once! Besides, you're a good person, right? Good deeds were done an hour ago.
The old man felt more and more enlightened. An hour ago, he had actually helped a hungry disabled beggar with a stick with a few steamed buns. The old man put the electric fish device under his arm and thanked him again and again. However, he did not go forward, but returned to the original road and turned into the crooked alleys that were crowded with people.
Not far ahead of this street is the fishing tackle shop. At this moment, the shopkeeper was standing beside the counter, his face full of joy, waiting for customers to come in at any time, because in less than an hour, two electric fish appliances were sold, which shows that this product is very popular.
At this time, he moved two more units out of the warehouse and put them on the shelves as samples to attract customers' attention. Just as he looked outside the door, he found the old man walking in with a suspicious look on his face. Without him having to greet him or ask questions, the old man spoke first: Oh, store owner, I want to return the goods.
The store owner replied: What should I return? It was just sold, is there anything wrong with it? The old man shook his head and said that I just wanted to return it.
Is there any reason? the shopkeeper asked calmly.
The old man didn't answer.
The store owner said: Generally, there are no returns. If the goods are not good, they can be exchanged until the customer is satisfied.
