Fortune telling

The car stopped at the entrance of the Yong'an Town Government, and the people in the car got off one after another, and finally a father and son got off.Li Dali held his son's hand, feeling uneasy and nervous.

In the past year, it has been really bad.First he was laid off, and then he opened a restaurant in partnership with others with the compensation money for the layoff, which closed within half a year.As a result, I lost 3 yuan.Later, I heard people say that doing fruit business can make money, so I went with them to pull two carts of apples back.Well, as soon as the apples entered the freezer, the market price started to drop.He waited for a while without shipping, hoping that the price would rise.Unexpectedly, when I finally wanted to ship, I couldn't find a buyer.In the end, the two carts of apples were shipped out, and after all the calculations, it was not even enough to pay the rent for the freezer.

Then his wife was also laid off, and the family suffered even worse.At the beginning of the year, the mother-in-law fell, and the wife returned to her natal home to take care of her, and also gave her a sum of money.Now the only tens of thousands of yuan left in his hand is all his belongings, including the borrowed money.This time, he was going to the south to collect goods and come back. If he succeeded, everything would be fine. If he failed, Li Dali didn't dare to think about it.Li Dali was not at ease, thinking about what he would do to accompany him, his luck was really bad.After listening to other people's persuasion, I finally came to this small town admiringly before departure.

After inquiring about it several times, I came to the door of Fan Blind Man's house.The courtyard door is open, and you can see the inside clearly at a glance.An eleven or twelve-year-old boy was sitting on a deck chair basking in the sun.Li Dali was inexplicably flustered, coughed, and then asked loudly: "Excuse me, is this Fan Xia...cough, is Mr. Fan's home?"

When Fan Wenzhi was sleeping soundly, he felt a stranger enter the door.Opening his eyes, a father and son were standing at the door.Fan Wenzhi kicked Wangcai first - a dead dog, someone came and didn't know how to bark.What's the use of raising you.

Wangcai let out an aggrieved bark, Master, you are so hard to serve.The last time someone came, you scolded me for shouting too loudly, which affected your sleep.Don't bark this time, you still scold me.Woohoo, it's really hard to be a loyal dog these days.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Fan's house?" Li Dali was a little dissatisfied when he saw that the boy was only busy playing with a dog, so he asked loudly again.

"I heard that, so don't ask. This is Fan Blind's home, that's right. But Fan Blind went out to eat wine bowls, and he won't be back until tomorrow. If you can wait, come back tomorrow." Fan Wenzhi stood up, Pat off the dust.Wangcai is too dirty, I will throw it in the river to take a bath later.

While Li Dali was disappointed, he was relieved at the same time.He was really terrified, he was afraid that the blind man would say that his fate was bad, bad luck or something like that.But I came here after a lot of hard work, and I didn't see anyone, so I was always unwilling.

"Little friend, are you Mr. Fan's son?"

Fan Wenzhi glanced at him, he was a very ordinary person, with no great ability and no courage to commit crimes.As for the child, he looked like he was carved out of the same mold as his father, but his eyes were quite lively.

"Yes, I am his son. You are looking for my father to tell your fortune, right? Tomorrow, you should be home at noon tomorrow." When it came to noon, Fan Wenzhi rubbed his stomach, before he had time to eat lunch, Why don't you go to the Yang Mazi stand to eat a bowl of noodles and have a hoof flower soup.Ah, I can't think about it anymore, my saliva is almost drooling.

tomorrow?Li Dali frowned, he had to rush back tonight and set off early tomorrow morning.This time cannot be changed.Is it really not possible to see the blind man today?

"Little friend, is your father going far away? I have something to do tomorrow, so I can't wait any longer. Why don't you tell me where I am, and I'll go there by myself."

Fan Wenzhi looked at him and smiled.Li Dali felt terrified when he was laughed at, did he say something funny?And the boy's eyes are a little bit hard to look directly at.That kind of look that sees through everything and disdains others is really scary.It's so strange, how could a young man have such eyes.

Fan Wenzhi restrained his gaze, and then said: "There is no way to go to that place, and neither can I."

"Can't you really go? I'm really in a hurry."

"It seems that you don't believe it anymore." Fan Wenzhi stepped forward, stood on the stool, pointed to the west and said, "Did you see that mountain? It's on the other side of the mountain." Then he looked at the father and son contemptuously. People, "There is no road there, and the only way to get in is to walk. With your footsteps, if you walk from now on, you won't be able to get there until midnight."

How could Li Dali believe it.If it is really like what this young man said, then how can a blind man get in.

Fan Wenzhi knew what Li Dali was thinking at a glance, and said with a smile, "How can you compare with my dad? My dad was invited by the people in the mountains, so they will naturally carry them in. If you have the ability, you can also Let someone carry it in."

Li Dali frowned, looking at the big mountain to the west, it was daunting just looking at it, let alone going into the mountain.So there is really no other way.Sighing, he really had no luck, and even counting his fate was full of twists and turns, and finally returned empty-handed.

"Excuse me." Li Dali led his son, this time the business is probably...

"Wait a minute." Fan Wenzhi stopped the two father and son who were about to leave. Seeing that he was a very polite father, he spoke so aggressively. If it was someone else, it would be time to teach him a lesson, so he just helped him out.

"Is there something wrong, kid?"

Fan Wenzhi looked at Li Dali expressionlessly, "Sir, I am the son of a blind man, so if you don't believe what I say next, just ignore it. You are now in the position of a bad star, and you will be full of bad luck. After half a year Yue fears that he will lose money and hurt himself, and suffer a crushing defeat."

Hearing this, Li Dali broke out in a cold sweat.It's not because of these words, but because the child's expression is too frightening, and the feeling of being stripped and seen is coming again, even worse than the last time.So much so that he couldn't help but believe his words.

"Listen well, if you encounter water, avoid it, and the danger is in the east." Looking at the child, Fan Wenzhi added another word, "Bring your child with you when you go out, so that you and your son will be saved." People." After speaking, he ignored Li Dali's feelings and let Wangcai drive people out.

Zhou Sen happened to meet the two father and son who were kicked out by Wangcai at the door.One look, yes, he must have come to Uncle Fan again for fortune-telling. "Wangcai, you're back." Zhou Sen roared at the top of his lungs, and Wangcai rushed over, wagging his tail around Zhou Sen.Fan Wenzhi who was in the yard saw it, and laughed and cursed: "Damn dog."

"Fan Wenzhi, go swimming."

"No." Fan Wenzhi sat on the recliner with a cattail fan, fanning it again and again, not like a child, but full of gentlemanly style.

"Fan Wenzhi, you are getting more and more boring. You are at home all day, and you don't go anywhere except school."

Fan Wenzhi glanced at him, "You think everyone is the same, just like a monkey, never idle for a moment." Zhou Sen has lived in Yong'an Town for so many years, and he has long since lost the shyness he had when he first came. .Now it is no different from the local children.Going up trees to smash bird nests, going down rivers to touch fish and shrimp, and doing everything that can be done but not done.That white and tender baby has long since disappeared into a corner.Therefore, time is the biggest killer in this world.If it wasn't for Zhou Sen's habit of maintaining hygiene, Fan Wenzhi would have kicked him out a long time ago.

It was very noisy all day long, and an "old man" like him couldn't bear it.

"Are you really not going?" Zhou Sen was quite disappointed.

Fan Wenzhi shook his head, "No, the water in the river is getting dirtier every year, and you still have the heart to go swimming. Be careful not to get sick."

"I know. We won't go to the river this time, let's go to the upper reaches of the mountain. It's the lake on the mountain. The water in it is very clean." Zhou Sen didn't forget to lobby Fan Wenzhi.

Fan Wenzhi shook his head, "Many people have drowned there, just like you, if you step into the water carefully, you will be dragged away by the water ghost."

"Bah, bah, you've been taken by the water ghost. Forget it, it's unlucky today, so I won't go." After snorting, he complained softly, "It's all your fault, what are you talking about, the water ghost?"

"cut!"

At night, Zhou Sen had no intention of leaving, and Fan Wen knew it well. "Did you quarrel with your mother again, or did your mother beat you again?"

"Hey, Fan Wenzhi, why do you think my mother's temper is getting weirder and weirder." Zhou Sen sat on the threshold with a distressed face, "Both the elder sister and the second sister have gone to work in the city, and my father will not be here until the New Year's Eve." I won’t come back. Now it’s just me and my mother at home, and she doesn’t like me all day long. She can find out about anything. Fan Wenzhi, what do you think I should do?”

"Cold salad." Fan Wenzhi didn't sympathize with him at all. Sometimes this week, Zhou Sen really wanted to be beaten. He knew that his mother didn't like him, but he still caused trouble outside all day long.

"I don't have any loyalty at all." Zhou Sen complained, but Fan Wenzhi ignored it.

"Do you want to go back?" Fan Wenzhi asked him.

Zhou Sen shook his head, "I won't go back today. Look at my back, I was beaten today, it's amazing." Zhou Sen lifted up his clothes, exposing his back, which were covered with swollen purple-black marks, obviously from the Vitex or bamboo sticks are drawn out.

Fan Wenzhi poked his wound, and Zhou Sen gasped in pain.Fan Wenzhi pretended to be innocent and asked, "Does it hurt? How about I give you some medicine?" Regardless of whether Zhou Sen agreed or not, he poured the medicinal wine up and rubbed it vigorously.

"Ouch, you can't take it lightly." Zhou Sen was so painful that he wanted to scold his mother.But whenever he was about to say something, Fan Wenzhi slapped his wound desperately like he had an extra pair of eyes, let alone scolding his mother, there was not enough time to cry out the pain.

"Fortunately, you can bear it. If I don't ask you, you plan to sleep like this tonight! What are you talking about to go swimming? I think you think you don't die fast enough." Fan Wenzhi bullied Zhou Sen with both hands and mouth. .Zhou Sen had already been trained by Fan Wenzhi to lose his temper, so he could only hum a few times, "I want to save face."

"Far face. How much is face worth? I think you are out of your mind." Fan Wenzhi hit Zhou Sen unceremoniously.

Zhou Sen sighed, "Fan Wenzhi, tell me, what should I do? You don't know, every time you ask my mother for tuition money, it's like asking for her life. Otherwise, I wouldn't Bite the bullet and skip a grade with you. Didn’t the class teacher, Mrs. Li, say last week that 100 yuan per person will go to the city for a day. I dare not tell her, let alone ask her for it. I usually save I paid some money, and paid one hundred to Teacher Li. Who would have thought that she would meet Teacher Li today, and that Teacher Li was also a big mouther, so he told me about the money I paid. You said she listened, can you not call me? Me? What did you say I stole her money, ouch, take it easy."

"Then did you steal it?"

"Fart. How could I steal her money. Fan Wenzhi, you don't doubt me too, do you? I treat you as a friend."

"Lie down!" Fan Wenzhi slapped Zhou Sen heavily on the back, "I didn't say I don't believe you. You know your mother's temper very well, and she can make waves if she has nothing to do. Let alone the matter of 100 yuan .You make things clear, it’s fine if you don’t.”

"I can't say it. My dad gave me the money when he came home during the Spring Festival. If I tell you, I won't even think about getting a penny in the future."

Now Fan Wenzhi really has nothing to say.Just this year's Spring Festival, Jin Xiu had a big fight with Zhou Lao Er over money, and asked Zhou Lao Er why the money he took home was so small.Zhou Laoer hesitated and hawed, just refused to explain clearly.It has been several months, and Jin Xiu still brings this matter up from time to time.If he knew that the money in Zhou Sen's hand was given by Zhou Lao Er, he would have fallen out of control.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the room was extremely quiet.

After a while Zhou Sen asked, "Fan Wenzhi, which middle school do you plan to go to? My mother definitely wants me to go to the town middle school!"

"I haven't made up my mind yet. Let's see what my dad wants." Fan Wenzhi said indifferently, no matter what school it is, it doesn't affect him.

"Hey, hello, if only my dad could love me like Uncle Fan."

Fan Wenzhi didn't answer, but silently pushed the medicinal wine to Zhou Sen.
