I don’t know what Hu Weiyong was thinking, but what he said sounded quite sincere.
“I understand.” I replied to Hu Weiyong.
After looking around in the new store, Hu Weiyong said goodbye to Yi Ba and me, and left.
"I asked why we moved to a new store, and Sister Shaoyao looked so unhappy. It turned out that we had been making trouble for a long time, and our new store should have belonged to her!" I said to Yi Ba said.
"Now, we must have completely offended Sister Shaoyao." Yi Ba said.
"If you offend me, I'll offend you." I took over the words and said, "We finally got this store, and we can't give it up to Sister Shaoyao no matter what, right?"
< br>It's night, and it's slowly getting dark. Not to mention, there were indeed more people on the street. It was not long after nightfall when several pedestrians appeared on the street. If they come to Guquan Old Street late at night, they are naturally not here to hang out. The guys who showed up eventually all entered the store.
Someone is coming, and it is a girl who comes in. This girl is dressed very fashionably. Judging from her clothes, she looks like a white-collar worker.
"What can you do here?" the girl asked me.
"Look at Feng Shui, exorcise evil spirits, divination, and fortune telling." I told her the business scope of Yiba Pavilion.
"Give me a divination!" said the girl.
Judging from the girl's expression and the tone of her words, it seems that she came to Yiba Pavilion just for fun and not sincerely intending to do anything.
“Why do you need divination?” I asked one more question.
"I heard that Guquan Old Street is a ghost market, and the shops in it are all very powerful people. I want to see if it is like the legend, so I want to give it a try." The girl said .
"Some things cannot be tried randomly." For people like this who do not seek divination intentionally, I will not divination at will.
To be honest, divination consumes more energy than fortune telling. This girl is just joking, there's no way I can help her with fortune telling!
“Can’t I give you money?” the girl said.
“This is not a question of money.” I said.
"I am sincere, otherwise who would come here at night! As soon as you walk into this street, it feels eerie and cold." The girl pouted, explain.
"Brother Chu Yi, we just moved to this new store today. This is the first business. It won't be good if it goes bad." This guy Yi Ba didn't know whether it was because the girl was pretty or something. Yes, he actually started talking to the girl.
"What's your name?" I asked the girl.
"Cao Xiaoli." the girl said.
"I just said that you are sincere, what do you want to divination?" I asked.
"Master, you opened the door for this divination business. What do the visitors want to ask? It should be shown in the divination, right?" This Cao Xiaoli, it seems that she is at ease and wants to try me. What a skill!
People with real ability are not afraid of trying.
I took out the beetle shell and placed it on the table, then placed a small incense burner and offered a stick of incense.
"Please close your eyes and meditate in your heart on what you want to ask." I said.
Cao Xiaoli was quite cooperative. She closed her eyes as soon as I finished speaking. As for me, I also closed my eyes and silently recited the formula in "Golden Armor Divination" in my heart.
After taking a breath of cold air, I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the incense ash falling on the beetle shell.
Yinmu lies under the Hai water. Hai water is the flying god, and Yinmu is the subduing god. Water produces wood, and wood grows forever in Hai, which is said to be immortal by flying in and lying down.
Get immortality? This refers to lifespan! Cao Xiaoli is so young, only in her twenties. People of this age generally don't ask about life span.
“Didn’t you ask for this hexagram for yourself?” I asked Cao Xiaoli.
"Master, what did you find out?" Cao Xiaoli asked me curiously.
This Cao Xiaoli, I didn’t look at her face carefully before, I just felt that she was very fashionable. But now, after staring at her face for a while, I suddenly noticed something fascinating.
"I know what you want to ask. What you say next may not sound good. Do you need me to say it directly?" I asked.
"I come to you for divination because I want you to tell me. If you don't tell me directly, what's the point of me asking you for divination?" Cao Xiaoli said.
"Then let me tell you straight." I moistened my throat and said: "You came to divine this divination because you want to ask about a person's life span. The length of that person's life span will depend on what you do next. This is a very important decision. The first decision is your marriage. If you don't care about true love, you will die early. You just want to find a cowherd for money. "
"Nonsense!" He yelled at me angrily.
“You know better than anyone whether this is nonsense or not.” I paused and said, “You can’t have your cake and eat it too, and you can’t have both people and money.”
"How long will the old guy live before he dies?" Cao Xiaoli, who just said I was talking nonsense, actually asked this question so straightforwardly.
"I dare not say that if I am a hundred years old, I can live casually if I am eighty or ninety years old." I replied with a smile.
Cao Xiaoli took out an envelope from her bag, threw it to me, and then left angrily.
I opened the envelope and counted it. There were 800 yuan in it.
"We each get half." I took out four hundred-dollar bills and handed them to Yi Ba.
"Leave it to me, brother of the first grade of junior high school! Anyway, brother of the first grade of junior high school, you are responsible for the rent, water, electricity and so on. Besides, you are also responsible for the daily expenses. I will take the money. It’s no use.” Yi Ba confiscated the four hundred yuan I handed over.
"You can earn eight hundred yuan by opening a business. Although you can't say that the money is small, the Cao Xiaoli who came to ask is a person with evil intentions. This opening is very regrettable!" I said.
"What does the limerick you recited just now mean?" Yi Ba asked me.
"I read it so clearly, but you haven't understood it yet?" I rolled my eyes at Yi Ba and said, "It means that Cao Xiaoli was supposed to have a boyfriend, but she hooked up with one who did. The old man with money. Her idea is to marry the old man first and wait for him. After the person dies, she gets the money and remarries her current boyfriend. In this way, she can have both money and talents. "Is this okay?" Is her current boyfriend willing to sleep with a man?" Yi Ba asked.
"In today's world, some people are willing to sell their souls for money, let alone their bodies?" I took the words with a smile and said, "Just by the charm that shines on Cao Xiaoli's face It can be concluded that she is definitely not the kind of innocent woman. The number of men who have slept with her can't be counted on two hands. ”
"Awesome! Brother Chu Yi." Yi Ba gave me a thumbs up and said, "You can see this."
"If you can't even see such a stupid thing, Why do you think you are a matchmaker?" I replied to Yi Ba with a smile.
Time passed minute by minute, and in half an hour it would be twelve o'clock. After waiting all night, no other guests came to the door except Cao Xiaoli.
The new address received an order of business on the first day it opened. I can’t say it’s good or bad. As long as the business is open, it is a good sign. There is no need to expect too much.
It was twelve o'clock in the blink of an eye, and other shops were closing one after another.
"Should we stay a little longer or close the door?" I asked Yi Ba.
Yi Ba yawned and said: "After working hard all day and guarding all night, I have long wanted to sleep. With today's posture, even if we continue to guard, there should be no business. Let’s close the door and go upstairs to rest!”
The big bedroom was comfortable, and I fell asleep soon after lying on the soft Simmons.
While I was sleeping in a daze, I seemed to hear a rustling sound coming from the window.
What?
I opened my eyes, looked at the window, and found a snake, sticking its head out, crawling into the house.
I have been afraid of snakes since I was a child. As soon as I saw that guy, I immediately screamed "Ah" in fear.
"What's wrong, Brother Chuyi?" Yi Ba must have heard my cry. After a burst of rapid footsteps, Yi Ba ran over from the master bedroom.
