Chapter 60 Casting a Wide Net
Three means three cents. I hope the fortune teller can keep his word and not shirk their responsibility.
In this way, they will be able to eat full meals for a long time from now on.
Under the willow trees in Willow Lane.
Ji Fugui saw a group of people queuing from afar.
Looking closely, he found that they were all people with "difficulties" like him, who were introduced by the beggars on the street.
Such an artificial scene made him hesitate for a moment.
But at this moment, he heard someone in the crowd shouting in disbelief.
"It's accurate, so accurate, it's all correct."
Upon hearing this, the people in the queue also started a lively discussion.
What about being able to predict the future, foresee things like a god, and determine fortune and misfortune at a glance? People are praising him in droves.
The more Ji Fugui listened, the more outrageous it seemed to him.
Isn’t it just fortune-telling? Why is it hyped up as if it were a god’s work?
Could it be that these people are all hired by the scammers?
As his curiosity grew, he went deeper and deeper. Finally, he walked into the crowd and saw the so-called fortune teller.
On a big rock under a willow tree, there was a woman in shabby clothes, with her face painted black, a divination cloth stuck beside her, and one of the characters she wrote was wrong. She looked like a charlatan no matter how you looked at her.
But at this moment, a man in front of the other party was extremely excited and kept expressing his gratitude.
Xiao Tu took the ten cents he had just received and threw them into his heavy pocket, while a smile broke out on Xiao Hei's face.
Today she will cast a wide net, catch more fish, and make small profits but quick turnover. She doesn't have to run around everywhere, and she can still get a lot of business and pick some good melons to eat. If she is lucky, she may meet some interesting people to fill her harem of fun. It's a win-win situation, and it's so comfortable.
She smiled and waved her hand, "Next."
A woman in her thirties or forties, dressed coquettishly, rushed over and said, "I, I, I, it's my turn."
Xiaotu glanced at her and asked, "Looking for something?"
The charming woman smiled and flicked her handkerchief, "Oh, I haven't said anything yet, this is amazing!"
As he spoke, he started chattering like a machine gun.
"Master, my Li family has a jade bracelet passed down from our ancestors. It was left by my great-grandmother. Although it's not worth much, it's an old item after all. Yesterday, I went out to play with some sisters and I was wearing it on my hand.
I went to bed early at night and didn't pay attention. When I woke up, I found that the thing was gone.
Oh, I've searched everywhere in this house and outside, but I can't find it."
Xiao Tu used the technique of hole-lighting to take a look at the woman. There was no sign of financial loss, which meant that the things should still be in her house.
Now she looked anxious, and the wealth on her head was being pulled, and a little moisture was coming out of it.
Xiao Tu retracted her gaze and asked, "Is there a place like a pool at home?"
The chattering woman paused and said, "Yes, there is a small puddle in the yard."
"Did you go there yesterday?"
The woman thought for a moment and said, "I think I've been there before. Oh, yes, I was looking back yesterday and happened to use the water there to wash the fruit I bought outside. At that time... Oh, I remember, I was afraid that the bracelet would hit the stone table and get scratched, so I took it off."
Xiaotu nodded, "Yeah, it must have slipped into the water, let's go look for it."
The woman smiled broadly upon hearing this, "Thank you, Master. Thank you, Master."
After saying that, she gave him twenty cents directly, then twisted her waist and ran home quickly.
Xiaotu took the money and waved again, "Next one."
The man who came was tall and strong, with a fierce expression. He put down the money and shouted, "Master, my dog has been missing for several days. Can you calculate the cost for me?"
The people around were pointing at the man and talking about him.
It is said that this is Zhang the Butcher, who is usually very strong, fierce and domineering.
Now that the dogs at home have run away, what should we do?
Xiaotu just looked at the other person and said, "The dog is dead."
The man's eyes widened when he heard this and he said angrily, "What? Dead? Who killed my dog? Tell me."
Xiao Tu raised his hand and pointed at his good buddy who was not far away from him, "Your good friend cooked it and ate it."
The man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other person fiercely.
The man panicked when he saw this and shouted, "You're slandering me! Brother Zhang and I are good brothers. How could I kill his dog? What evidence do you have for what you said?"
Butcher Zhang turned his head back. He naturally trusted his brother more than the fortune teller.
Xiaotu smiled and said, "Go to your good friend's house and see if he has finished eating the meat yet!"
Butcher Zhang's face instantly turned dark. He walked forward, grabbed the other person, and dragged him away without caring how he screamed or howled.
Many people in the crowd laughed and cursed, saying that he deserved it.
Butcher Zhang’s friend is not a good guy either. He steals and cheats all day long and has a very bad reputation!
At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, "Master, if we can count the missing dog, can we count the missing person?"
Xiaotu looked over and said, "Come and take a look first."
The person who spoke immediately pulled a haggard-looking man over and said as they walked, "You've seen how powerful the master is. I've been waiting in line for you for half a day. Go over and ask them to take a look. Maybe they'll find your second child!"
The man being dragged was tall and honest, with a bitter face that was longer than an eggplant.
"Master, my second child disappeared after going up the mountain with me a few days ago. Can you help me calculate whether he is still alive?"
He was just greedy and went deeper into the mountains to pick fruit. But when he climbed up the tree, the child was gone.
It was already the third day, and he suspected that the child might have run away due to playfulness and was then taken away by a wild beast in the mountains.
So even though I saw how powerful this fortune teller was, I really couldn't get excited.
Because he had already made up his mind, since he had lost his child, he didn't want to live anymore!
Xiao Tu glanced at the other person and said, "The child is still alive."
The lifeless man's eyes lit up with surprise when he heard this, and he said excitedly, "Really?"
Xiao Tu looked at the guy who wanted to die and said speechlessly, "It's still at the old place where you picked the fruit. There is a hole in the soil next to the tree. Someone fell in and fainted."
This father is quite amazing. When his child was lost, he took a large group of people to look for him all over the mountain. He even killed several wolves, but he didn't even think of going back to the place where the child was found to have another closer look.
The man became incoherent after hearing this. "Really? Yes, it's true. You knew at a glance that I went to pick fruit. Yes, yes, it must be true. The child is not dead. I went to find the child. I am going to find the child..."
As he spoke, he ran away excitedly.
The man who brought the person over wanted to remind them that the money had not been paid yet!
The other party has disappeared.
The man smiled awkwardly, then bowed gratefully to Xiao Tu and took out five taels of silver and handed it to him.
Xiao Tu didn't refuse and said with a smile, "You should go too. Go back and prepare some soft food for the child. After all, he has been hungry for three days. Your good brother probably can't take care of him."
The man was very grateful. "My name is Li Er. I live in Huatian Lane in Beijing. I own a bookstore at home. If you have any instructions, please feel free to come to me."
Xiao Tu smiled and said, "If you want to find me, you can go to Tianxiang Tower."
The man was overjoyed and thanked the man repeatedly before leaving.
Xiao Tu curled his lips at this moment. There are also smart people among these common people.
"Next."
The next one is Ji Fugui who can’t wait any longer.
He had exchanged places with someone and now couldn't wait to come forward.
