So, one dark and windy night, Liu Ji, who had almost recovered after drinking a few doses of medicine, secretly woke up Liu Qi, left Wang Wu who was still sleeping, and ran away.

Liu Qi felt a heavy psychological burden. She wanted to return several times, but Liu Ji suppressed her and called her back as an elder.

Liu Jima found a car to rent, and the two of them drove in a bullock cart for two days. They were sure that Wang Wu could not catch up, so they had time to educate the young people.

"If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. To be honest with you, I do still have some copper on me, but this little money is not enough for three people. Even you and me can barely do it."

"If you kid still wants to go home for the New Year, don't think about whether these things are available or not. If you have some free time, think seriously about how we can make money."

Previously, it was because outside the customs, it was safer to go together with more people, but now everyone has entered the customs, everyone goes his own way, no one should be delayed.

Liu Qi still felt bad and whispered: "Uncle Wang doesn't have a penny on him, and it's so cold now, how can he go back?"

"How do you know he doesn't have a penny?" Liu Ji asked.

Liu Qi was startled, "Does he have it?"

Liu Ji sneered and gave him a look that said you are still too young, "These days, who doesn't leave some shoes for themselves when going out? Look at his pair of shoes, they are tied so firmly, there must be something inside."

"Then why did he still say that he had no money?" Liu Qi asked in confusion.

Liu Ji had a stern expression that I had already seen through, "I don't want it to be used by the two of us."

Seeing that Liu Qi was still asking, Liu Ji was already impatient, "The oxcart will only take us here. Let's rest outside this post house tonight. Let's think about how to make money to buy food and walk home tomorrow."

Liu Qi glanced at his uncle's arms and said, "Uncle, don't you still have some?"

Liu Ji knocked down his chestnut and said, "I spent all my money at once. How can I go back? I really want to beg for food all the way back?"

Liu Qi covered her forehead and did not dare to say any more.

In fact, after this time, he had a great change in his third uncle's character, and even admired him a little.

People in the village said that the third uncle was a bastard, but what he saw this time was a good elder who was observant, dared to fight the enemy, and could identify the direction on the vast grassland and lead him out of the grassland.

But leaving Wang Wu and running away by himself seems to be quite a jerk.

As soon as the young man thought this, Liu Ji's eyes flew over and reminded him that we are both bastards now.

Liu Qi: Woohoo, I'm getting dirty!
Liu Ji's so-called resting outside the post house for a night was actually a pretense of being a fortune teller. He walked into the lobby of the post house to fool passing merchants. He drank a mouthful of wine and meat, and even coaxed the owner of the post house to allow him to stay in the lobby today. Make a floor inside.

Liu Ji knew clearly that it was such a cold day and it was in the north. If he slept outside the house at night, he and Liu Qi would be absolutely freezing the next day.

Liu Qi stood behind Liu Ji throughout the whole process, acting as the little Taoist boy he called him.

The 1.8-meter boy was startled, wait, is he small?

Liu Qi saw how Liu Ji was telling people fortune-telling nonsense.

I have to say that even though the third aunt was a good tutor, she was in such a mess, and her uncle didn't forget to tidy up his clothes.

It was precisely because the two of them looked good enough that his uncle claimed to be the wandering Taoist priest of a certain Taoist temple, and some people really believed him.

What shocked Liu Qi even more was that his uncle could actually tell fortunes.Liu Ji calmly deceived the old businessman in front of him, held up Liu Qi's chin with his backhand and asked him to close his mouth, touched his wildly grown stubble, squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then let out a "hiss~".

The old man immediately became nervous, "Does the Taoist think it's inappropriate?"

What he asked was whether his trip north to do business outside Xuanyue Pass would go smoothly.

Liu Ji shook his head and smiled, "Pindao just made a divination. The divination shows that the master will encounter evil stars on his way north this time, but as long as he avoids it, he can turn the bad luck into good luck and have a smooth journey."

The old man felt excited at first, and then relaxed again. He asked his servant to pour Liu Ji another cup of hot tea and asked the Taoist priest for advice.

Liu Ji looked calm, pointed at the tea, drew a route on the table, and said:
"Take the main road and never cross the side road. Travel during the day and stop at night."

What he said was quite simple and Liu Qi could understand it, but it felt like nonsense.

But the cautious reaction of the old businessman made the young man feel confused. Is this really a clever plan worth being excited about?
At night, when the two of them were sleeping together on a shabby mat, Liu Qi couldn't hold it back and asked the person next to her in a low voice: "Uncle, when did you learn to tell fortunes?"

Liu Ji closed his eyes and seemed to be asleep, but in fact he was not asleep. After a long pause, just when Liu Qi was about to fall asleep, he suddenly said: "This is a secret from heaven and must not be leaked."

Liu Qi yelled, hugged his third uncle to keep him warm, rested his head on Liu Ji's back, and fell asleep.

Liu Ji sighed softly, there is no secret in this world, it's just the human heart.

He would give people whatever they asked for, just to put their mind at ease.

He reached into his arms with his cold hands, took out a big oily chicken leg, and ate it with restraint, mouthfuls of it, it was so beautiful that it was bubbling.

This businessman is really stingy. He helped with fortune-telling, but in the end he was given a chicken drumstick. The boss of such a big business was left with nothing!
Liu Qi shrugged the tip of her nose and sat up in a daze, "Uncle Third, do you smell the smell of chicken legs?"

"Ah? What? Are you dreaming again? There are no chicken drumsticks." Someone who was eating alone with a drumstick in his arms said cautiously: "Go to sleep quickly. We have to go on the road tomorrow morning."

Liu Qi sniffed it again suspiciously, was it hallucination?Why is there still the aroma of chicken legs?
However, sleepiness came over me, and I couldn't hold my eyelids any longer, so I fell back and continued to sleep.

Liu Ji waited for a full three minutes and made sure the person behind him was asleep. Then he secretly took out the uneaten chicken legs, ate them in two or two bites, threw the bones away, wiped the oil on his hands with his clothes, and closed his eyes. Go to sleep.

The fortune-telling trick was effective. Along the way, Liu Ji caught the target customer and blew him off. Because he looked a bit like an immortal, no one ever doubted whether his identity as a Taoist priest was real or fake. .

At most, I just think that he is too good at talking, which shows a bit of boredom.

But most of them will still treat him to a meal or give him half a bottle of wine to express their gratitude.

In this way, the two of them actually ate quite well along the way, and had meat and vegetables as a meal from time to time.

When a person fills his stomach, his energy and spirit will rise, and he looks more like a Taoist priest, who speaks but talks about the secrets of heaven and is silent, and the Taoism is in the Taoist spirit.

Amidst the respectful calls from the Taoist Priest, Liu Ji himself felt a little dazed, almost forgetting that he was just a gangster in Liu's village.

In addition, Liu Ji still had two loads of copper coins in his pocket for a ride, so the journey that originally took more than half a month was completed in eleven days.

Jumping off the carriage in the carriage house and looking up to see the familiar city wall of Kaiyang County, the uncle and nephew cried with joy, hugging their heads and crying: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, finally back!"
