My years as a fortune teller

I opened my eyes and laughed twice when I heard this, slapped my thighs, stood up and walked in front of Meng Xiaoxia.Pushing her hand holding the money back, she said, "It turns out that you two are doing this. If you have a chance, take me to have a look. To be honest, I am most interested in your profession."

Both Meng Xiaoxia and Guan Jun were stunned, they didn't expect me to say that suddenly.I looked at them and immediately smiled and said: "Oh, I know now. So you didn't let me continue to eat with you because you thought I would dislike you for touching dead people? Then you underestimated me, Brother Zhang, To be honest, I have touched dead people since I was a teenager, it’s not a big deal, and besides, those butchers touch the meat of dead animals every day, so don’t we eat meat anymore?”

Meng Xiaoxia looked at Guan Jun with her mouth wide open, and Guan Jun also looked at her, then at me and said, "Brother Zhang, don't you really dislike it at all? It turns out that there have been several tenants here, and we heard that this is what we do. , I don’t even want to talk to us, so let’s not talk about eating my wife’s cooking.”

I smiled, sat next to Guan Jun and said, "That's their problem, it has nothing to do with me at all. By the way, you two take me to see your working environment and tell me about your surroundings. things."

Meng Xiaoxia asked with a puzzled face when she heard it: "Brother Zhang doesn't dislike us. This is already very puzzling to me. Why do you still want to go and have a look and tell us about the things around you? You can't be a reporter!"

"Haha!" I laughed a couple of times and said, "Do you think I look like a reporter? I work in an advertising company, and I like these ghostly things. I'm going to write about them when I have time. I was worried that I didn't have any material for a fantasy novel, so you came to provide it to me."

The two looked at each other, lowered their heads and began to eat.I know I can't ask any more questions now, or else they'll get crazy.I went to the kitchen and boiled a large pot of hot water for myself, planning to soak my feet nicely later, and then take a good night's sleep.

Guan Jun and his wife didn't talk much, they just ate and packed their things.After all, they just met each other, and they haven't gotten to know each other enough to talk about everything.Meng Xiaoxia made some food for "Sailang", then went back to her house, closed the door and rested.

I turned the volume of the TV to the minimum, and then carefully read the "Book of Changes" I brought with me.I have a habit of not making some annotations on the book at the beginning, and only writing some experience after reading it dozens of times.

I have read this "Book of Changes" nearly a hundred times, and I have read all the different editions. Even some editions that have been put away and treasured, I have also tried to read it several times.In the words of Master, this is a book that you have to read as long as you live.

I really didn't understand it when I first started learning, but then I slowly discovered the true meaning of it.Until today, I just took a pen to make some annotations on it, and it would be a joke to look at it after a year or so.

I was soaking my feet and reading a book when a person walked in, and I saw that it was Guan Jun, holding a few apples in his hand.Guan Jun smiled and said to me: "Brother Zhang, you are soaking your feet! Hehe, these are some apples that Xiaoxia asked me to bring you. They are all produced in our hometown. You should try them too." How is the taste."

This kid suddenly treats me so well, I really don't get used to it.But I hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Come on, sit down quickly. Look, I just soaked my feet, so I won't take them out. Don't be offended, I didn't treat you as an outsider."

Guan Jun smiled and put the apple on the table, sat on the chair opposite me and said, "It's okay, Brother Zhang, you can continue to soak your feet. I think this is fine, at least you don't treat me as an outsider, if you are too polite Well, I'm rather embarrassed to be here."

I laughed a bit, actually quite understand him.Ordinary people who want to deal with people in funeral parlors will feel uncomfortable when they hear these three words, let alone sit down and chat, so Guan Jun must be very happy that someone suddenly does not reject him.

I took out a cigarette and handed it to him, Guan Jun took it shyly.He said to me: "Brother Zhang actually reads "Book of Changes". I also saw a copy from Grandpa Meng last time, but his book is so old that I couldn't understand it after reading it for a long time."

"Oh!" I was taken aback by this, I didn't expect that the ugly landlord, Uncle Meng, also read "Book of Changes".It seems that there is an opportunity, so I want to ask for advice. Some people get older and better, and they hide deeper.

I thought for a while and said to Guan Jun: "This person's hobbies are different from person to person. Look at Master Guan Yuguan. He is an old man who reads "Spring and Autumn". Focusing on the two characters of Spring and Autumn, the red face and the heart are filled with the three-point couplet of Han Ding. We can’t compare with Master Guan, so we can only read this "Book of Changes." He wiped his feet and poured water.

When I came back, I was putting pots, and I heard Guan Jun say: "Brother Zhang, have you been to the Guandi Temple in Xiezhou? My hometown is there. Speaking of which, I am also a descendant of Master Guan. It’s just that I’m not a direct descendant. !"

I patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said: "Whether it is the direct lineage or the collateral lineage, they are all descendants of Master Guan, just like the people in our land of China. After all, whoever is not a descendant of Yan and Huang. Hehe, I It was you who went to Jiezhou Guandi Temple this morning. The entrance fee is too expensive, nearly 100 yuan!"

Guan Jun covered his mouth with a smile and said, "Brother Zhang, seeing how generous you are with us today, how to buy a ticket depends on how distressed you are. This is quite different from the brother Zhang who gave us money. Don't!"

I laughed and said, "Guan Jun, this is what you don't know about me. If the money is used to relieve the poor, your brother Zhang won't even blink; , It’s really like being stabbed with a knife. Look at this Guandi Temple, which is a key cultural relic protection unit, and the state estimates that it will grant money every year, and I’m sure I’m uncomfortable charging such a high entrance fee.”

Guan Jun smiled and did not speak, but Meng Xiaoxia came in at this time, and said to Guan Jun, "Okay, I said, why don't you wash your feet and go to bed with apples, so you came to Brother Zhang to smoke. I think you don't want to sleep in bed tonight."

When Guan Jun heard this, his face turned red.I looked at Meng Xiaoxia and said, "I love to yell, so there is a little pepper here! Hehe, I didn't know you wouldn't let Guan Jun smoke, or I wouldn't have smoked for him."

Meng Xiaoxia tugged Guan Jun's ear, sat down beside her and said, "Brother Zhang, what are you mainly doing in Yuncheng this time? Is it for work, or are you here to find someone to do something? Why don't you go to the hotel and run away?" Came here looking for temporary housing."

I looked at Meng Xiaoxia and said, "I was too tired from working there, and I was in a trance, so I took a short vacation and ran out to hide and play for a few days. Although the hotel has better facilities, there is no home after all." Feeling. You see living here, isn't it very warm for everyone to walk around and chat with each other."

Meng Xiaoxia covered her mouth and smiled for a long time, and said to me: "Brother Zhang is still a person who enjoys it! But I think your idea is really good. Brother Zhang, when you have time, you can take me there too." play."

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately said: "There is no problem, we are friends when we meet. Yes, Meng Xiaoxia, both you and the landlord, Mr. Meng, are named Meng. Are you related, or are you from the same village?"

Meng Xiaoxia nodded and said to me: "Grandpa Meng and I are from the same village, and he introduced my job. Xiaojun also passed his inspection before we registered for marriage. By the way, Brother Zhang, I am People from Ruicheng, do you know this place?"

I thought for a while and lowered my face and asked, "Are you talking about the Ruicheng County where Yongle Palace is located?" Meng Xiaoxia was surprised, but she still nodded.I patted my thigh and said, "My next stop is to go to this place. I want to see what the first ancestral courtyard among the three ancestral courtyards of the Taoist Quanzhen sect has been built for more than 100 years." He stood up a little excitedly.
