Chapter 245: If there are eggs, there will be a lot of hair; if there are no eggs, there will be a lot of hair.

The meeting continued. Amidst the applause, I returned to my seat and whispered a few words to Mr. Chen.

He said, "Very good, tell me about it."

I glanced at everyone and said, "When doing things, we must have a balance between tension and relaxation. So, I have something else to share with everyone for your reference."

Everyone began to believe me and looked at me.

“Don’t just reach a consensus tonight and agree to build the road tomorrow.

If that were the case, the Wang family would start to doubt whether building the road would actually increase the feng shui and they would disagree.

Then, the situation becomes complicated again. So, we need to slowly change, becoming half good and half bad.

Some said they agreed to the repair, while others said they disagreed. Finally, it became clear that General Chen had done a good job of ideological work, and that you, the Chen family, were of high moral character.

Everyone applauded loudly.

Mr. Chen said, "Tonight's meeting went very well, very successfully. Finally, thank you, Teacher Wan."

At this time, Mr. Ba came over in two steps, shook my hand and said, "I admire you. I was just talking back at you, but don't take it to heart."

I said, "What are you talking about?"

The village chief said, "Mr. Chen even gave out cigarettes. No wonder you're so rich. It turns out you hired a Zhuge Liang."

Mr. Chen pursed his lips, and Chun went to get a cigarette. I later learned that Chun was Mr. Chen's nephew.

Mr. Chen reminded us that not a single word from tonight’s meeting should be leaked.

Chun Yazi felt that it was too conspicuous for everyone to have two packs of cigarettes tucked under their arms, so he gave each person a black plastic bag.

Mr. Ba said, "What's the big deal? It's normal for us to smoke two packs of his cigarettes when our friend gets rich."

Mr. Chen said, "Normally, there's no problem. But tonight's a secret meeting, so be careful. Don't go into other people's houses on the way home. Go straight home."

The Eighth Master said, "Wan Shanhong is a great advisor to Yousheng. You haven't found a wife yet, have you? Why not just become our Chen family's son-in-law?"

The village chief said, "You can choose any girl with the surname Chen in the village, and I will be the witness."

The whole room was filled with laughter.

The crowd dispersed. Mr. Chen said, "Thank goodness you came, and thank goodness you have the satellite image, otherwise something terrible would have happened.

It's a win-win for all three parties now. There's no more conflict between the Chen and Wang families. The town government is no longer burdened. And I'm no longer under pressure."

"It's only right that I do something for you."

"Since you mentioned there's a cow nearby, my ancestral grave hill is no longer big enough to bury you. Tomorrow, please go to the hill on the right and see if there's a suitable place."

"OK."

The next morning, after breakfast, Mr. Chen told Lao Xiao that a relative of his wanted me to go look at some land. He then asked Chun Yazi to find a few people to play cards with Lao Xiao.

Because for things like this, the fewer people who know about it, the better.

He had already prepared two sets of protective clothing and put them in a bag. I took it and held it in my hand.

We walked out and headed towards Woniu Mountain. We talked as we walked, as if we were just taking a stroll to enjoy the scenery.

As we walked further and further, we gradually found ourselves in a deserted area. A dirt road led us to the upper reaches of the Woniu River.

He first took me to see his parents' grave.

I stood there, put my hands together and looked over, and said, "Tell your brother to add more soil on the left side to make it a little higher. There's nothing else wrong."

He led me to the right hilltop. The mountain was covered in trees. Luckily, we had prepared well. We donned protective gear and weaved through the trees, finally reaching a flat area on the mountainside.

Suddenly, Mr. Chen saw a grass nest. He pointed and said, "Look."

I said, "Wait, let me see."

There were a few eggs in the grass nest. I waved, and Mr. Chen came over to take a look and said, "Pheasant eggs."

I took a picture with my cell phone.

He asked, "What is this?"

"Nowadays, technology is advanced and there are compasses on mobile phones. However, everyone is used to using the old ones, including me. But if you forget to bring yours, this one is also good to use."

After using my phone's compass to look at the area, I checked the longitude and latitude and said, "This is the spot. Based on the topography, I can give it a name."

"What's the name?"

"It's located in the concave part of the cow's back, which is sheltered from the wind. That's why birds build their nests here, and it's called 'Tian Niao Dang'. 'Dang' means flat.

But the main point is not here, but seven meters up, where the ox's back rises, because there is no water there."

Mr. Chen took out his cell phone and took pictures everywhere.

We started to go down the mountain, took off our protective suits at the foot of the mountain, and walked back.

Mr. Chen asked, "Why is it better to have eggs there?"

"A symbol of the continuation of life. When encountering a bird's nest, there are two situations:

One possibility is that the pheasant was about to lay eggs when someone came and it was startled and flew away. The other possibility is that it had laid eggs and then went out to look for food.

Feng Shui says: If there are no eggs, one nest will produce a lot; if there are eggs, all nests will produce a lot. This is a good sign."

Mr. Chen was very happy to hear this.

When we were almost at his door, I threw the protective suit into his trash can. He was stunned for a moment and said, "It's pretty good. First time using it."

I said, "After visiting the grave, you cannot bring anything into the house except what you are wearing and what is in your pockets. You must throw it away."

"Yeah, I learned a lot from you."

"Secondly, you must wash your face and hands after visiting the grave."

We both washed our hands and faces, but they were still playing cards. Mr. Chen said, "Have lunch before you leave."

When Chun saw Mr. Chen coming back, he asked, "Did you ask Auntie to cook?"

Mr. Chen said, "Of course, Mr. Wan wants to eat the bitter melon she cooked."

The card game ended. Chun Yazi finished his call and looked at me. "Mr. Wan, they all say you have some magic. Teach me some."

I said, "Okay, let me teach you a poker magic trick."

Mr. Chen, Lao Xiao, and a few others gathered together, and I began to teach them. I held the cards and taught them:

"After shuffling a deck of cards, you remember the bottom card, which is currently the 6 of hearts. Others don't know that you're remembering the bottom card.

Then, you count down 12 cards from the top and place them under the hole cards. "

This step is easy. Chun Yazi said, "A deck of cards has 54 cards, which means the six of hearts is the 42nd card in the deck."

"You are very clever. Now, I count one more card and turn it over. It is 7. I count six cards one by one in the column of 7: the column is complete. 7 + 6 = 13.

I turn over another card, it is 2, and I count 11 cards into the column of 2: this column is also complete. 2+11=13

I also turned over a card, which was a J. Since it represented 11, I only counted two cards on top of it: 11+2=13.

I only draw the first card of these three columns: 7, 2, and J. I put the rest of the cards at the bottom. 7+2+11=20.

You can tell others that, counting from the top, the 20th card is the 6 of Hearts."

Everyone watched with great interest. Chun counted down 20 cards and found that it was indeed the 6 of hearts.

Then, he wanted to try it himself, and it worked the first time. Lao Xiao tried it and got it working, and even Mr. Chen wanted to try it. He thought it was simple and fun.

Chun Yazi asked, "Why don't you see the cards?"

I laughed out loud: “You can peek at any one of them, because this is not a technique, it’s a math problem.

For example, in the game I played above, I counted 12 cards to the bottom of the deck. The 6 of Hearts was at position 42. Counted three more columns.

7 (8910111213) a total of 7 cards.

2 (345678910111213) a total of 12 cards.

J (1213) has 3 cards in total.

Actually, I counted 7+12+3=22 cards. Based on the first three cards in each row, 7+2+11=20. 22+20=42, so of course it's the 42nd card.

Everyone laughed and said, "That's good. It's good to have some fun sometimes."

After lunch, Chun Yazi got in Mr. Chen’s car, while Lao Xiao and I got in the same car and drove together to Shangzhou.

On the way, I didn't follow Xiao Ruan's car, but drove into Chenjia Town.

Lao Xiao asked, "You don't want to take the ring road?"

I said, "I want to buy a pair of sunglasses."

"Why buy a pair of sunglasses?"

"I won't tell you. It will be useful later."
