under the foggy mountain

Chapter 37

The next day Yuan Wuhua got up before the light, and did not go for a drive as usual.He opened the door and went out to have a look. The light in the parents' bedroom was still on. He tiptoed to the door and listened, but there was no sound inside.He went downstairs to the main room and sat restlessly for a while. When he came out to look again, the light was on. He immediately went back to the main room and sat down again. He heard his father coughing, knowing that his father had got up; There was a sound, and I knew that my mother was ready to cook.

After Yuan Wuhua sent Qin Gang to the station yesterday, he sent He Xuxia to the gate of No. [-] Middle School. He Xuxia stopped him and told him that Liu Meihui would go to Huangqiao Town to find Liu Banxian for him and Tang Qinglian. People count horoscopes, if Qinglian's horoscope is not good, or if the two people's horoscopes are not compatible, Liu Meihui will definitely not agree with him to continue to communicate with Qinglian.

Yuan Wuhua became anxious after hearing this, and hurried back anxiously, asking his father about his mother's whereabouts in the past few days.Yuan Guishan told him that Liu Meihui had been at home these days and hadn't gone anywhere, but it seemed that she was planning to go to Huangqiao Market Town these days.He felt relieved and planned to go to Huangqiao market town after breakfast tomorrow.But after going to bed at night, he worried that his father did not know the real situation of his mother's activities, and that his mother might have gone to Liu Banxian's place.Later, he fell asleep in a daze, and dreamed that Liu Banxian told his mother that Qinglian was a fox demon, and she must never marry her son, otherwise her son would be killed.He complained endlessly, thinking it was over, he woke up after yelling "Mom", and couldn't fall asleep anymore.

Father went downstairs to the main room, and Yuan Wuhua asked the same thing as last night. Yuan Guishan was a little surprised and asked him if there was anything wrong.Yuan Wuhua smiled and shook his head vigorously.Yuan Guishan said that the factory was paying the bills these days, and these people came to the house for lunch. Liu Meihui was cooking every day and didn't go anywhere.Only then did Yuan Wuhua feel relieved.

After breakfast, Yuan Wuhua drove to Huangqiao Town, parked the car in front of the Lequnlou Hotel, and came to Liu Banxian's house.He sent his mother here and knew where Liu Banxian lived.

Liu Banxian is not like ordinary fortune tellers who set up a stall on the street to tell fortunes. Instead, he rented an empty three-room house in the most prosperous and lively area of ​​Huangqiao Town. The room where divination and fortune-telling is done is the living room of Liu Banxian and his wife at the end.

Liu Banxian was a teacher in his early years. Because of an accident, he blinded his eyes, so he started a fortune-telling business. Because of some knowledge, he is good at listening and distinguishing people, and he can speak the thoughts of some villagers. As a child, it was rumored that fortune-telling and hexagrams were extremely effective, and more and more people came here admiringly.Liu Banxian is a low-key person, likes others to call him "Mr. Liu", lives in seclusion, and knows how to use legal methods to cover his fortune-telling and fortune-telling business, so he can maintain a long-term business on Huangqiao Street.

Yuan Wuhua came to the door of Liuji incense candle shop. At this time, the door of the store was just opened, and Liu Banxian's guest was moving the paper money incense candles to the door and moving the shelves. Seeing Yuan Wuhua coming, he greeted him with a smile and asked what items he needed.Yuan Wuhua said that he came to ask about Qiancheng and asked Liu Banxian for advice.The woman looked up at Yuan Wuhua, asked Yuan Wuhua a few more questions, and confirmed that Yuan Wuhua was indeed here for fortune-telling and divination, so she wanted to take Yuan Wuhua in.

Yuan Wuhua stood still and asked the fortune teller how to charge for divination.

The woman said: "It costs ten yuan to calculate a horoscope, and there are some people who see that the horoscope is good and feel happy, so they get an extra three or five yuan."

Yuan Wuhua said with a smile: "If my horoscope is good today, I will definitely get more happy money."

The woman brought Yuan Wuhua to an inner room, pointed to a chair for him to sit down, and went to the inner room by herself.

Yuan Wuhua looked around the room.There is nothing special about this house, the windows are not big, and the light in the house is a bit dim.There were only two chairs inside, I sat on one, and the other should have been reserved for Liu Banxian.A coffee table with a pot of plastic green plants on the coffee table.There is a picture of Eight Diagrams hanging in the middle hall, and the other walls are empty.Sandalwood is burned in the house, and there is a clear fragrance.

Liu Banxian came out and said to Yuan Wuhua, "Mr. Liu is here." After speaking, he went out.

After a while, Liu Banxian came out wearing a pair of sunglasses, walked straight to the empty chair, reached the side of the chair, stretched out his hand and dragged the chair back, walked to the chair, sat down, and then moved the chair forward, Sitting upright, he put his hands on his legs, then raised his head and looked at Yuan Wuhua expressionlessly.

Yuan Wuhua saw that Liu Banxian sat down like a normal person, and wondered whether Liu Banxian's eyes could see or not.Hearing Liu Banxian cough at this moment, he immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, hello."

Liu Banxian remained expressionless, stretched out his hand to support his sunglasses, and responded, "Hello."

Yuan Wuhua felt that Liu Banxian's eyes behind the sunglasses were looking at him, and he was a little nervous.However, he had already thought about the content and method of his speech yesterday, and immediately relaxed again.

He cleared his throat and said: "Mr. Liu, I have a friend who has been in love with a girl for several years. They have a very good relationship, but my friend's parents disagree, thinking that the girl has a bad character, and I have a relationship with myself. My son doesn't get along with me. I want to ask you a favor."

Liu Banxian said: "How can I help?"

Yuan Wuhua approached and whispered: "In the next few days, someone will come to you to calculate the horoscopes and marriage fortunes of these two young people. Please help to tell the best aspects of their horoscopes, and also talk about their two horoscopes. A marriage with the horoscope is a happy marriage."

After hearing this, Liu Banxian said slowly: "Sir, I'm afraid I can't help you with this job. Once this person takes root in his mother's belly, his horoscope and marriage will be fixed and cannot be changed unless he meets Gao People and nobles can change their fate against the sky. I know a thing or two about numerology, but I don’t have the ability to change my fate against the sky. Sir, please ask someone else to be wiser!”

Yuan Wuhua said with a chuckle: "Mr. Liu, I have heard of your name for a long time. I know that you are not only proficient in numerology and magic, but also have a bodhisattva heart! I will not beat around the bush, so Mr. Liu, as long as you do me this favor, I will I will give you 400 yuan as a thank you fee! I will give you [-] this time, and I will give you [-] after it is done."

Liu Banxian heard that the sunglasses were crooked, and quickly put out his hand to straighten the sunglasses, neither saying yes nor no.Suddenly, Liu Banxian began to mutter something, and after a while, he took out a pair of hexagrams from his pocket, threw them on the ground, one of the hexagrams was up, and the other was down.

Liu Banxian asked, "What hexagram?"

Yuan Wuhua said: "Holy hexagram."

Liu Banxian said: "That's right. Now, sir, tell me the name and date of birth of your friend and that girl."

Yuan Wuhua took out a note with Tang Qinglian's name and birthday written on it, and handed it to Liu Banxian.Seeing that Liu Banxian didn't respond at all, he suddenly came to his senses and felt that his behavior was really ridiculous, so he almost burst out laughing and suppressed it hard.After that, read the names and dates of birth of the two to Liu Banxian.

After hearing this, Liu Banxian stretched out his right hand, swung his five fingers quickly, and muttered something again. After a while, he stopped and said, "Sir, you need your friend to come in person to test the fortune-telling and ask about the fortune of marriage. It can be seen that Sir is also a kind-hearted person, and he was kind enough to help his friends, so I asked the Supreme Master for a divination just now to see if I can help you. The sacred hexagram came out, which means that the Supreme Master allowed me to I can help you with this. Now I have done a calculation for your friend and girl. Both of them have good horoscopes and are compatible in marriage. From this point of view, I am not helping you! It is the horoscopes of these two people. The fortune is good in the first place, and there is a life of husband and wife in the first place!"

"Ms. Liu, what you said is very good. If someone comes to ask about the two of them these days, you can say it like this." Yuan Wuhua was very happy to hear that, stood up and said, took out two hundred yuan from his trouser pocket, stuffed it In the hands of Liu Banxian, "This is 200 yuan, you accept it first, and I will give you another 200 yuan after the matter is completed."

Liu Banxian also smiled after receiving the two hundred yuan, and said, "Sir, you will definitely hear the good news! You must come here and tell me when it's done!"

Yuan Wuhua said with a smile: "Teacher Liu, don't worry, I will definitely come!"

Yuan Wuhua arrived at the parking lot at the entrance of the Lequnlou Hotel, opened the car door and was about to enter when Ren Zhijian came out of the hotel and shouted, "Wuhua, are you going back?"

Seeing that it was Ren Zhijian, Yuan Wuhua smiled and said, "That's right, Boss Ren, what's the matter?"

Ren Zhijian came over and said, "That's it. During this period of time, I ran to some paper factories in our Zhangshuwan and Huangqiao Towns, hoping to help Qingqing's mother get some money for medical treatment. Many paper factories took some. It’s a few hundred yuan, 1000 yuan, and I’ve scraped together some. Wuhua, can you also get some from the paper mill when you go to the paper factory?”

After hearing this, Yuan Wuhua asked in surprise: "We didn't take it in the factory? I told my grandfather the other day, and he agreed!"

Ren Zhijian smiled and said, "I've been there twice, and your father agreed to go to Zuo Dongming. Zuo Dongming said it would take a few days each time, and there was no money in the account."

Yuan Wuhua said: "It's true. The factory has never had any money in its accounts. So, boss Ren, how much do you want? I'll give it to you!"

Ren Zhijian smiled and said, "Wuhua, most of these paper mills took 500 to 800 yuan, and the most took 1000 yuan."

After hearing this, Yuan Wuhua bent down and took out 1000 yuan from the car and handed it to Ren Zhijian.Ren Zhijian then counted, opened a receipt on the hood of the car, and handed it to Yuan Wuhua.

Yuan Wuhua said with a smile: "Don't issue any receipts! You just know it."

Ren Zhijian said: "You can pay the bill when you go back! I want to collect it too."

Yuan Wuhua asked: "Boss Ren, how much money do you plan to raise this time?"

Ren Zhijian chuckled and said, "Hehe...the more the better. Tian Qingqing said the other day that she was still [-] yuan short of signing the agreement, so she was in a hurry. I don't know how she is doing now."

Yuan Wuhua heard this and said, "It's still [-] yuan short? I..."

As soon as I said the word "I", I stopped.He knew that Tang Qinglian would never borrow money from him no matter what.He smiled and changed his words: "I mean, Boss Ren, if you don't have the 2 yuan, you can come to me."

Ren Zhijian smiled and said, "Okay Wuhua, I will write it down."
