Chapter 074 Fortune telling

Xu Fengnian followed the next day with a large group of people to the city of Orange State, and Feng Shanling, these brown men close together to brag and fart, which and with Mr. Luo several old Confucian scholar chat morals, is a very different taste, probably the difference between a big gulp of wine and tea, Xu Fengnian along the way with Feng Shanling borrowed the good bow, with his arm strength to pull out a full moon is not difficult, several attempts to shoot arrows, the good thing is that they have killed the horse thieves before, these escorts did not how to be surprised! Xu Fengnian tried to shoot arrows a few times, full of momentum, good to have killed the horse thieves in the front, these retinue did not how surprised, in addition Xu Fengnian and they are not a line of work to grab a bowl of bastards, but also happy to tout a few words to warm up the feelings of humane work is to lift the sedan chair, you lift me and me to lift you, everyone is happy. Feng Shanling relative to be sincere some, people in middle age, about the heart of the block is too much pent up, has been drinking water can not be exhausted, and want to talk to people chatter, taking advantage of picking up arrows when no one and Xu Fengyen said a lot of old stories of Beiliang, Feng Shanling see Xu Fengyen did not have half a point of impatience, the old man’s talk box is also completely open.

“At the beginning of the military enlistment, in fact, there are two options, to go to the old side of the Great General Gu Jiantang, not much war, can have a peaceful day, but destined to military service also robbed but those rich kids, my kind of barefoot is not afraid to put on shoes of a piece of dirt bachelor, pondering or cast the Northern Liang Army, in fact, there is a small plan, although the border of the Northern Liang is not peaceful, but the nine countries of the Spring and Autumn Period fought for several decades, by the Great General A person defeated six, I think that even if you go to the border, it is estimated that as long as you do not become a scout scout, as well as the kind of guerrilla cavalry rushed to the front, want to die is not easy, but also really by me to hit on the big luck, into a broken crossbow, in addition to that time to step apart crossbow racks, there is no how to fight with the barbarians in close quarters, at first every time the end of the battle, to see those who have broken hands and feet or the whole back was cut open cavalry and foot soldiers, or Will scalp numb, and then fought a long time, by the captain of the captains scolded more, listen to the old pawns say some of the achievements in the Spring and Autumn War, around the brothers are yelling not to kill is not addictive, I’m afraid of death or afraid of death, under the sky which is not afraid of death of pawns, but thought that in case there is a day really want to be the turn of the old man rushed up to fight for his life, but also not really afraid of dying in the lineup, anyway, there is a brother to collect the body, and then also did not have a rolled nest of the good daughter-in-law to think about. I’m not really afraid of dying on the battlefield. If it were now, I wouldn’t have the guts.”

“Remember very well, in the Northern Liang Army stayed a total of three years and nine months, have not seen any big names, the largest official is six products, is a member of the annual light cavalry general, the general ass mount that called a tall, but then envy to envy, thought of the guys are with the same Northern Liang knife, I heard that even the great generals did not have exceptions, there is nothing to be red. ”

“Mr. Xu, it’s not that old Feng is shrewd, but he sincerely advises you to learn some Northern Liang language, in the future, if there is really a day when the Northern Liang iron horsemen go all the way north and defeat the Northern Mang Southern Dynasty, it’s always right to know some Northern Liang language.”

Along with Feng Shanling’s broken thoughts, gradually approaching the border town, Xu Fengyen and Luo Changhe and his entourage pulled away, squatting on the edge of a dry river gully for a while, the third war between the two dynasties, is the Liyang dynasty for the second and the last time in the situation in the early advantage, but unfortunately it is precisely in the vicinity of this Purple Sable Terrace spoils the ship, at that time, in the old First Minister and Gu Jiantang, including the group of well-versed in the border defense of a group of important ministers under the careful planning of the two Liao nine towns. Border army elite out of the nest, with a swift momentum, marching 100 miles a day, in Honghan three years June 9 from Zhenzhou northward, 16 days arrived at the Tunjin platform, 17 days to the North Mang is now Orange State Yibingzhen, more than 6,000 defenders surrendered to the wind, the 19th siege of Zhuzhou, and then go to the wild pot pass the fortresses, the intention is to block the mouth of the North Mang Nansi out of the army, just in the four sides of the purple sable platform trying to round up the military, the military ridiculed by the later generations! There are just no strange use of military, the first time the young Zhao family of the Emperor is a joke of the array map will be awarded, if not sitting in Jinliao Gu Jiantang disobeyed the previously established will, the rate of 8,000 troops to run to relieve the siege, and then there is the Beiliang Chen Zhi Bao led 90,000 iron cavalry and the Gu Department of the almost simultaneous north breakthrough, such as an awl stabbed to the Nanjing Palace, the empire is not likely to be at this point in time of the empire.

Retrieving his scattered thoughts, Xu Fengyen stood up and jogged to follow the large group, his Spring Thunder Blade was wrapped in a cloth and placed in his backpack. This town military and civilian confusion, the city gate inspection is very strict, sparse crowd, a woman walking slowly with her head down, handing out the customs plate to the spear guards, stout armor-clad young soldiers to confirm that there is no error, glanced at the woman, frowned, take the spear tip knocked the woman’s back to carry a large cloth bag, the woman slowly unlocked diagonally across the chest of the rope belt, unlocked the cloth bag, revealing an ancient zither, three feet six inches and five inches in length, seven-stringed banana leaf style, with snake belly broken pattern, burnt tail, and the cloth bag is wrapped in a cloth, the woman’s back was wrapped in the cloth. There is a snake belly broken pattern, burnt tail.

The city guards of this kind of elegant things of course can not be said to know the goods, but also can not see the depth of the doorway, see she seems to be blind, but also did not make it difficult, outside the town more than 10,000 controlling the crane army stationed, the rule of the strict, he has earned a few hundred dollars of oil and water, and do not dare to make too many small action of the goose, so she let her go.

The woman was dressed in the South Dynasty attire, narrow-sleeved small skirt, did not have to wear a lady’s unique hat, probably practicing the qin practice out of the gentle nature, walking gently, after entering the city, the city streets began to bustle, many children playing and scurrying, a few of the local bullies are squatting in the street side of the well mouth sunbathing, to see so a lone and lonely and alone into the city of the weak woman, look at each other with a heartfelt smile, while the guards did not pay attention to the gate! This side, one of the scoundrels pretending to be drunk, staggered past, solid hit her shoulder, back piano woman a reasonable shake, almost fell, still lowered his head and did not see the expression, playing the bachelor can only rely on stealing neighborhood women’s bibs to make a living of the man’s smile is even more, rubbing shoulders after the miss, drip a turn, to go to touch the figure of this delicate woman’s buttocks, pinched a pinch, put on the tip of the nose to sniff, caused the street to the friends of the fox. To the street foxes and dogs friends of the laughter, the woman’s footsteps in a hurry, do not dare to voice reprimand, which undoubtedly greatly contributed to the rogue flames, speed up the pace to pull, full of nonsense yelling: “Mother, quickly with your man to go home to have children to go, what to loiter.”

Was pulled to the slender arm of the woman did not say anything, the scoundrel is thinking of the trend in the arms of wantonly love and pity, the other side of the street stood a neatly dressed but a gangly young man, see this scene is not that the road to see the heroes save the beauty of the enlightenment, just buttoned nostrils snorted and laughed: “Liu Scar, you can afford to marry the daughter-in-law? Go to sleep with your mother is more or less it, anyway, your mother is also a thousand people riding ten thousand people lying goods, not much you one.”

Being called Liu Scarzi’s shrewd immediately anxious red eyes, did not let go of that soft and slippery greasy woman’s arm, turned his head and cursed: “Su Su, old man’s eggs are idle again, but also a hundred times better than you, you kid against two old bachelors for more than twenty years, ass blossomed without it?”

The young man deducted after the nostrils to dig earwax, a face of breeze said: “I just went to your house to climb the wall in the previous hour, and your mother said some long and short private words, know what is called six short and three long? You’re a fledgling, surely you don’t understand, anyway, your old mother is very happy in bed, maybe tomorrow I’m going to be your cheap old dad, come come come, first shout dad.”

This young man made a waist shrugged movement, Liu Scar was humiliated in the street, and then can not care about the woman, turned his head to look around, did not see can hit people while things, stride on rushing up to teach this beat countless times or no growth in the small son of a bitch. The young man actually looks quite good-looking, but are covered by the gangster phase, see the opportunity is not good, to run away, no way to be Liu Scar’s five or six buddies blocked at both ends, he cursed in his heart, immensely skillful to hold the head face, a good beating, especially the parties Liu Scar, rolled up his sleeves, the milk of the strength of the milk are squeezed out of the ass egg of the surname Su is a foot teasing ditch leg, only to hear the wailing, covered the buttocks escape, Liu Scar, etc., the young man was not a man. Butt fled, Liu Scar and others began to kill, copied the street side of the teahouse tavern bench is a mess, the street business serious vendors are cursing, the town said not big, twenty years together, for these idle lazy goods know the bottom, know which should be scolded which should be returned to the hands of Liu Scar and others, until Liu Scar and others relieved of gas, casually threw back the chair and stool, but also the absence of backpacks women’s traces, which makes the Liu Scar hate to go to the family name of Su’s home to turn the sky and earth, but think of that old bachelor’s hand strength arm strength, shrinking neck, a cold, can only chatter cursed Su Shu that boy was beaten without an asshole this life can not pull out of the shit.

Suffered an unjustifiable disaster Su young man beat around the bush, walking around a few alleys, squatting in the corner of the wall under the root, take the thumb to wipe off the corner of the mouth blood, is already blue and swollen body aches and pains, pull open the neckline, to see a piece of blue and purple color through the shoulder, drew a breath of cold air, stood up, stand on tiptoe, lying on the adobe mud wall, shouted a few times, ultimately failed to see the girl who sells green onion pancakes, but also did not sell the girl who sells green onion pancakes, and did not sell the girl who sells onion pancakes. Drying clothes on the bamboo poles to see women’s bibs and other personal belongings, some boredom, enduring the sting, whistling pretending to walk in style, on the way to a piece of cured meat, thrown into the mouth and chewing, so aimlessly wandering around the city. Xu Fengyen and this group of Confucian scholars and scholars stayed in a superior inn, Luo old scholar has helped pay the silver, Xu Fengyen also do not in this kind of minutiae on the pretense, and Feng Shanling about dinner to go to just inquired about an old restaurant, because it is not yet time to eat, go out to walk, walk through a few streets, in an old willow tree with a hollow abdomen to see a simple fortune-telling booth, the diviner wearing a wrinkled and torn Taoist robes, with two goatee whiskers, business was cold, so he sat on a borrowed bench and dozed off in a daze, his chin knocking against the cotton covered tabletop from time to time. Xu Fengnian hesitated for a moment, looked up at a pole of flags due to the lack of wind and flimsy, probably counting all the five hundred years before and after or something like that, as a fortune teller, I am afraid that the tone of voice said small.

Xu Fengyen walked over to take his finger and knocked on the stall, the fortune teller woke up, hurriedly took the cuffs to wipe the saliva, sitting upright, trying his best to put on some high popularity, gushing: “This fairy knows all about yin and yang and five elements, Ziwei Dou Shu, face palmistry, Qi Men Dun Jia, geography and feng shui, regardless of the yin and yang mansions, none of them are not oddly accurate, dare to ask what the gentleman wants to be counted by this fairy? ”

Xu Fengyen and the old Huang Wenhua partner, can be considered to have done this line of cheating people’s money veterans, laughed: “may wish to pinch the fingers first count what I want to count?”

The old Taoist did not dare to talk nonsense for a while, got up and gestured to give the bench to the customer who was not easy to take the bait, and sat on his own butt in the pit of the old willow tree, taking the opportunity to use the corner of his eye to survey the young man with an average appearance, after sitting steadily, stretching out two fingers twisted a goatee, murmuring.

Xu Fengnian held back his laughter, but also not in a hurry to speak, in fact, this is about acting in the line of work, is nothing more than a blind set of words to solve the disaster to ask for money in four links, a ring of deduction, without error, almost to earn the copper, when he did the phrenology is more difficult, after all, the mouth is hairless work is not firm, even if the borrowed robes are also very difficult to fool the people.

The old Taoist priest’s eyes wandered and said softly, “Your Excellency is here to calculate your official luck.”

Xu Fenian shook his head.

The old guy let out an oh, “Measuring fortune.”

Xu Fenian still shook his head.

The old man finally couldn’t sit still for a while, if he failed to win, wouldn’t all the fat meat in his mouth fly out of the bowl. Xu Fengyen did not continue to make things difficult for the life of this day is obviously living in the water, smiled and said, “In fact, the old gods have guessed, both counting whether the official luck can be prosperous, but also measure whether the financial fortune.”

The old man was relieved, gently nodded his head and said, “This fairy has always counted nothing.”

With a not so embarrassing beginning, the next is the sky is full of nonsense, Xu Fengyen also do not expose, from time to time nodding yes and agree with a few sentences, the old Taoist priest spittle, glowing. Xu Fengyen body has in the inn side for some silver, listened to the future may not be unable to the good words of the future, pull out a grain of silver on the preparation of the matter to go home, half a year have not touched the silver of the old Taoist priest’s eyes suddenly bright, such as the silver set aside in the desktop, to the speed of lightning and thunder grabbed and put into the sleeve, and then flicked the whiskers and laughed: “Gongzi, what time was born, the immortal can be count it for you again, this one doesn’t count as money.”

Xu Fengyen had already left the bench on his butt, and laughed softly after he sat down again, “Let’s not talk about mine first, you help me count my father’s, he was born on the Shen hour.”

The old Taoist pretended to ponder, and then asked the specific day copper hourglass one hundred quarters of the time, which slowly said: “This is not too good hour ah, is the life of the early years to leave the country, brothers and sisters also died early, if the blessing of the fates and then thinner, husband and wife, I’m afraid that shall not be old together, ah, but his wife passed away, it will make the man old age and late luck gradually good.”

The old Taoist see in front of the generous male son of the color stagnation, thought that said wrong, is thinking of Lin Shi to change their mouths, for fear that the silver in the sleeve to be asked back, did not expect this young man and asked his elder sister two sister’s destiny and luck, know the time of the hour, the old Taoist show the metaphysics, pinch finger counting and counting, and said a few words, do not dare to say more, believing in the purpose of the lesser said the lesser wrong, glanced at a careful glance at the male son, the latter Lips trembling, squeeze out a smile to say his birth time, the old Taoist quietly wiped the sweat, pretending to be calm, said: “not bad not bad, the male son is clear and handsome phase, early wisdom and eloquence, a life of many blessings, parents blessings are divided into your body, the first luck slightly bumpy, the middle of the luck of labor, but the late luck on the good, so the male son does not need to worry much. ”

Elderly phrenologist hesitated and said, “This gentleman, this fairy has one more thing to say, the gentleman’s family members have more or less reduced their fortune because of you.”

And hurriedly added, “But your son’s family already has not bad fortune, so they don’t care about this little bit and a half.”

Under the old willow, the young gentleman and the old scholar looked at each other.

Su Crisp who is wandering to this side is thinking that there are still fools to tell fortunes with this old liar, and then he saw that guy whose head was kicked by a donkey scattering a bunch of broken silver, and the next scene is even more unimaginable to him.

Su Shu turned around, intending to go back to his own store to be scolded, rolled his eyes and muttered, “This guy is really sick!”

A young man from a foreign land, sitting under a withered old tree, didn’t cry out, just shed tears there.
