Sparrow God Reborn

Chapter 43 The Red Rope

Hao Meng pulled Tang Xiaolong aside to talk.

He asked: "Uncle Tang, I heard that you have a high attainment in Feng Shui horoscope, I would like to ask you, what do you think about luck?"

When Tang Xiaolong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Luck, everyone is destined to be born. Your birthplace, date of birth, hour and name all determine you. For a lifetime of luck, some people are born with no shortage of luck, and their life goes smoothly..."

Hao Meng interrupted him: "Speak simply."

Tang Xiaolong shut up. After a while, he adjusted his glasses and said slowly, "Do you want me to deal with that gecko?"

"I have this idea, but I'm afraid Uncle Tang won't be able to do it." Hao Meng said.

Tang Xiaolong immediately "hummed", probably related to the profession he was proud of, his professional ability was questioned, Tang Xiaolong immediately became upset, and he said: "I don't care about a small person. The old man traveled all over the world, I have been in a haunted house, I have seen Feng Shui, I have seen ghosts, I have never seen any monsters and ghosts, any powerful person will respect me when I see this old man, you actually question me?"

Hao Meng spread her hands: "I didn't question you, that gecko is powerful and lucky, everyone said so."

"Nonsense!" Tang Xiaolong said: "I'm in the same line of work myself, so why don't I understand? There's a fart of luck, and he's the one who's going to fight!"

Hao Meng stared at him and smiled, only then did Tang Xiaolong realize what he had said wrong, coughed twice, and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Uncle Tang is now a member of the team, so he should be looking forward to letting the team win, right?"

Tang Xiaolong said that he was not stupid this time, and immediately said: "This old man can't do it alone."

Hao Meng stared at the old man, he walked with Mao Hu a lot, and he was used to seeing a lot of people of the same teaching and learning, some of them were shrewd and pretended to be stupid, all for the sake of making a living.But it is such a person, in the environment where dragons and snakes are mixed, sometimes they live the most nourishing life.

Yan Yang said that seeing Tang Xiaolong can make a rich woman spend 3000 yuan to buy a stone and go back with gratitude, it must be because Tang Xiaolong has a sharp tongue and what he says can be believed. This kind of observation ability and suggestion ability may be true. Very professional.

He said: "Let me just say it straight. I don't think the five poisons and geckos are luck. If it can be mentioned, we are a head short before we play here, which is particularly unfavorable for the subsequent games. Uncle Tang can also see that sometimes in the poker field, sometimes the skills improve, but the mentality does not improve."

Tang Xiaolong nodded as if he was listening to other people's affairs, and said, "It's true, so what do you want to do?"

"Uncle Tang is going to help me here." Hao Meng said: "Uncle Tang will help to boost everyone's morale and brainwash everyone. I plan to let Uncle Tang play this round. If Uncle Tang plays, give them a little pressure. Uncle knows these things best, and it would be best to leave things like bad luck to Uncle Tang."

Tang Xiaolong let out a "huh" and returned: "This thing is indeed what the old man is best at, but looking at the way of heaven is a matter of bad luck and needs a balance. Whatever you do, you have to pay for it." He saw Xiang Hao Meng, "What did you pay for?"

Hao Meng was taken aback: "What do you pay for?"

Tang Xiaolong glanced at him with a bit of resentment, and said: "The cheapest and easiest thing to get in the world is things outside your body, so you can just pay me some things outside your body."

Hao Meng: ...

This really doesn't change the essence of a swindler."I don't have any money," he said.

Tang Xiaolong immediately reminded him: "Isn't there a bonus for the rookie competition last time?"

Hao Meng thought that the prize money was to be saved for the mahjong redemption, Tang Xiaolong's two mouths touched the lion and the lion would open his mouth. If he doesn't give it, he won't be used to it!

Tang Xiaolong said: "I want half."

Hao Meng: "One tenth."

Tang Xiaolong: "One fifth."

Hao Meng: "Deal!"

The matter was settled like this, Tang Xiaolong left contentedly, turned around and met Yanyang, Yanyang asked: "Did you give him money?"

Hao Meng heartbroken: "Give me a little."

"You are really..." Yan Yang shook his head and made a comment, "Stupid."

Anyway, Tang Xiaolong promised Hao Meng to brainwash everyone.Tang Xiaolong is a smart person, and he used to set up a stall and was very good at observing words and expressions. Let's put it this way, if Shan Yanming used to rely on his understanding of Dou Dou before and always overwhelmed Dou Dou, then Tang Xiaolong might analyze the opponent's body in the shortest time. Information.

Just like that rich woman, Tang Xiaolong can roughly estimate the person's family situation and personality preferences by just asking her a few words. Following her words, from this point of view, Tang Xiaolong is really suitable to be a nonsense liar.Besides, his card counting ability is also top-notch, and he is a shrewd person.

Not long after, everyone came in twos and threes, including Dou Zongming.Tang Xiaolong is here to give you psychological counseling. The most important thing now is to strengthen your skills. Wudu not only has a gecko, but also other people. Apart from Wudu, there are also other teams.In the case of sparrows, those with high strength will sometimes perform abnormally, let alone the few players of Sunset Red, who have just started playing professional games, and their experience is too inexperienced.

However, with the guidance of Dou Zongming and the previous information of Sunset Red, it is still very effective to start special training and analyze the opponent's card habits.

This day I practiced until the evening. In the evening, Dou Zongming and the others were going back to dance in the square. Dou Dou also went home, and everyone dispersed.When Hao Meng went downstairs, she saw Yan Ze leading the cat Nika out.

Mao Nika seemed to be being dragged away by Yan Ze, and she could see a reluctance on her furry face.

As soon as Hao Meng saw him, she remembered what she promised to help Yan Ze take care of the dog, and said, "You go out for a walk with the dog, let me go for a walk, I just want to go out."

Yan Ze said: "No need."

"Don't be polite to me." Hao Meng said, "I really want to go out."

Yan Ze said: "I want to go out too."

Hao Meng thought for a while: "Then let's go together."

He and Yanze went out together. The cat Nika walked lazily, slower than the two of them, and she didn't like to bark. She was a lonely dog.

Yan Ze said: "The person who will help you find it has already been agreed, and they are inquiring about it. If there is any news, they will let you know."

"So fast?" Hao Meng was a little surprised. Although he entrusted this matter to Yan Ze, he did not expect Yan Ze to act so quickly. It seemed that he took his affairs very seriously. Hao Meng was a little bit Embarrassed, but also a little grateful, said: "Thank you!"

"You don't need to thank me." Yan Ze lazily said, "It's a fair deal."

Hao Meng couldn't help looking at him, he looked very relaxed, many passers-by on the road, especially young girls couldn't help but look at him, and didn't know whether they were looking at Hao Meng or Yan Ze.Hao Meng thought to himself, it should be half of one person.

He said, "Which way are you going? I'm going to Fucheng Street, a fortune-telling street."

Yan Ze was puzzled: "What are you doing there?"

"Go and buy some mascots for the team members, the ones that have been opened." He asked, "Would you like to take a look together?"

"Okay." Yan Ze actually agreed.

Fucheng Avenue is a fortune-telling street in Haiqiao City. The street is full of antique shops, antique shops, second-hand goods stores, etc. The entrance is built like an ancient building, which looks like a tourist attraction.As soon as I walked to the street, there was the smell of incense and the faint sound of knocking on wooden fish. Because it was evening, and the sun was setting, the whole street was covered with a layer of gold. It seemed to be a bit Buddha-like, but it felt Feeling a little hairy.

There was a row of gentlemen wearing sunglasses sitting on the side of that street, all blind, with exactly the same equipment, a bench, a stall, on which were placed incense burners and Buddhist beads, and a flag with the words "testing" written on it to read the market.

They are all unpredictable and immortal. It seems that everyone can see the past and see the future. It is not easy for Tang Xiaolong to become famous among this group of people.

Hao Meng said: "The competition in the magic stick industry is so fierce now, and there are risks and instability. No wonder Uncle Tang wants to change his career."

Yan Ze asked: "What do you want to buy?"

Hao Meng squatted down in front of a stall.

This is not a fortune-telling stall, but a stall selling trinkets. The stall owner is a red-faced woman. When she saw the two of them, she immediately asked enthusiastically, "What do you want, sir?"

The booth is full of bracelets, jade pendants, Buddhist beads and so on, of course they are all fake, because there is a cardboard next to it, which says "ten yuan and three" crookedly.

"You can pick three of them for ten yuan," the woman said.

Hao Meng casually grabbed a red rope in front of her, and tied a knot at the end of the red rope, the woman said, "This is Yuelao rope, brother, can you buy one?"

Hao Meng left immediately.He said: "I won't buy it." The woman was a little disappointed, seeing Hao Meng turned around and took another handful of jade pendants.

Of course it's not jade. I don't know if it's made of stone or plastic. The green ones are not normal. They are fake at first glance. The round jade pendant has "fa" written in the middle.Hao Meng clenched the jade pendant in her hand, thinking that it was it.He did the math, and there were four people on the field, he didn't want it himself, so he gave one to Dou Dou, and asked, "Is it okay to have four for ten yuan?"

The woman's complexion changed, and she said: "It's a small business, if you don't buy it, forget it, don't look at it." She snatched the jade pendant from Hao Meng's hand.

"How much are those four?" Hao Meng asked. He hadn't bargained with anyone for a long time. When he was with Maohu before, he would blush and have a thick neck because of the quarrel with the mahjong parlor. Ze here, I don't know why he doesn't want to haggle with others, he feels ashamed.

"Four are 15 yuan." The woman said.

"Four shouldn't be 15 yuan, right?" Hao Meng couldn't hold back for a moment, he is not bad at arithmetic.

"There is a discount if you sell three together, and there is no discount if you sell them individually. If you want a discount, you can buy six."

Hao Meng thought, why buy so many?Such low-quality jade, there is no place to wear too much?

He still wanted to ask, but Yan Ze had already handed over 20 yuan and said, "Then buy six."

The stall owner happily took the money, and Hao Meng asked, "Why do we buy so much?"

Yan Ze didn't answer him, but asked the stall owner, "You can choose whatever you like?"

The stall owner smiled and said, "It's all right."

Yan Ze bent down and took the four jade pendants, glanced at the stall, took two more red strings that Hao Meng had taken at the beginning, stood up straight, handed the four jade pendants to him, and said, "Let's go."

Hao Meng took the jade pendant and put it into his pocket in a daze, and continued to walk forward while asking, "What are you buying this for?"

"Make anklets for Nika the cat." Yan Ze answered very naturally.

Hao Meng: ...

He thought for a while, then suddenly laughed to himself.

Yan Ze asked: "What are you laughing at?"

"I remembered that I was with Master when I was a child. When it was approaching Qixi Festival, I passed by a temple dedicated to Yuelao. Marriage. At that time, my master just lost a game of poker and was so poor that he ate cabbage every day. He bought red thread for clothes at a low price, and asked me to weave red rope with him and come to the temple to sell it on Qixi Festival."

"Usually no one buys it, but there are many people who buy it on Qixi Festival. No matter how high the price is, people still want it. In the end, it was all sold, and we went to the restaurant." Hao Meng said with joy, but he was actually broken at the time. He was a teenager. They sell red ropes in the temple, and they carry small backs. They are not easy to sell with a blushing face, and they are taught by Mao Hu: "Why are you so ashamed, you are promoting marriage, and Yue Lao will help you get a good one when he sees it."

He was very aggrieved: "I worship the patriarch, not Yue Lao."

Maohu snorted twice: "When you grow up, you will feel that Yuelao is much more important than Patriarch."

Mao Hu led him to do a lot of messy things, but looking at it now, he felt very hopeful that time would stop there.

Yan Ze thought for a while, then took out a red string and gave it to him: "I'll share one with you."

Hao Meng said: "That's so embarrassing, you paid for it."

"Take it," Yan Ze said, "I can't wear two by myself."

Hao Meng felt that what he said was a bit strange, so she couldn't help but look at his expression, but seeing that his expression was smiling as usual, there was no difference, so she accepted it, and said: "But am I like Mao Nika? Wearing a couple rope?"

Yan Ze: "Do you want to wear it with me?"

"Then I'll wear it with the cat Nika." Hao Meng had just finished saying this when he saw a candy shop in front of him.The candy shop on the fortune-telling street is also very quaint, and all the candy sold here is wosi candy.

Hao Meng saw sesame candy on the glass cabinet displaying sugar, so she went in and said, "Have a catty here!"

The boss immediately went to grab the candy happily, and Yan Ze asked, "Why are you buying this?"

"You bought the jade pendant, I don't take advantage of others, don't you like sesame candy, I'll buy you some candy." He said, "Am I very kind?"

Yan Ze raised his eyebrows: "Then you can buy it."

The boss quickly grabbed the candy, and the candy was packed in an oiled paper bag. The oiled paper bag was also printed with ancient landscape paintings. It was very nostalgic, maybe it was just made, and it was still warm. It was warm and could smell the sweetness of sesame seeds. breath.Look at the price again...

Hao Meng paid the money awkwardly, walked out of the sugar shop with Yan Ze, and said, "This sugar is so expensive, I'll try it..." He was about to taste a piece when Yan Ze took the oil paper bag away from him .

Hao Meng: "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you buy this for me? Aren't you very kind?" Yan Ze said lightly: "Of course they are all mine."

How can this person protect food like a dog!

And their dogs are not so protective of food!

With a smile on the corner of Yan Ze's mouth, he took out a piece of candy and ate it casually. His red lips were beautiful, and now that the setting sun was over, his facial features looked like ancient paintings painted on oiled paper bags, beautiful, faint There was a layer of smoke and rain.

Hao Meng's heart skipped a beat, he turned his head away and said, "Speaking of which, why do you like sesame candies?"

People who don't like sweets, but only like sesame candy, the truth of the contradiction, there should be a reason.

After Yan Ze finished eating a piece of candy, he licked the corner of his mouth childishly. He walked forward unhurriedly and said, "When I was young, I was rescued by someone. When I was very hungry, the person who rescued me gave me A packet of sesame candies."

Hao Meng was stunned.

What Yan Ze said was vague, but he understood as soon as he heard it, it meant that Yan Ze was kidnapped and he rescued Yan Ze.No wonder, when he heard Yan Yang say that Yanze likes to eat sesame candies, he thought it was a bit strange, and he couldn't figure it out. Thinking about it now, could it be because of this matter that Yanze likes to eat sesame candies?

is it possible?

He looked at Yanze, Yanze's eyes were very bright, as if he was recalling the scene at that time, he said: "Maybe I was too hungry, or I was too scared. I think that bag of candy is the best thing I have ever eaten. After returning , When I was afraid of anxiety and discomfort, I bought it myself to eat, and Yan Yang saw it and thought I liked it very much. In fact," he paused, "the candy I ate later was no longer as sweet as that night."

Hao Meng couldn't tell what was in her heart.

He did not expect that Yanze would keep thinking about the bag of candy 15 years ago. He always felt that Yanze was unpredictable, his thoughts were unpredictable, cunning and cunning, although he always faced everyone with a smile, in fact, no one left. If it doesn't go to his heart, there is a little hidden coldness.

But now it seems that is not the case.A person who can remember decades for a bag of sugar, first of all, he should be a good person.

Yan Ze, he should never have changed, after all, he is still the weak boy in his memory.

Li Jixuan's friend said that people's hearts can change, of course, but sometimes, people's hearts don't change, it's here, after five, ten, or 15 years, it still doesn't change its original intention.

Hao Meng said: "Didn't you say that the person who rescued you was a passerby?"

Yan Ze smiled: "I lied to you."

"You didn't find him?" Hao Meng asked.

Yan Ze didn't speak, he looked ahead, he didn't know if he was looking at the road, or looking at something else through the road in front of him.

"If," Hao Meng said, "I mean, if, one day, you saw the passer-by who saved you again, what would you do? Would you repay him?"

"Repay?" Yan Ze shook his head, he said in a low voice: "He saved me, if I can meet him, if one day he is in trouble, I will protect him too."

No one spoke, and the setting sun slowly fell silent.

Cat Nika shook her fur, and took two steps impatiently.

Yan Ze seemed to have just woken up, he turned his head, was slightly taken aback, and asked, "What do you think I am doing?"

Hao Meng shook her head: "Nothing."

You're already doing it, he thought.
