C45

Stumbling out of Flowery Lane with a pack on my back, I came to a bustling main street. Relying on my memories, I headed towards the overpass that I went to yesterday.

However, when I reached there, I noticed that there were only a few peddlers who were setting up their stalls and not a single fortune-teller. Thus, I became a little curious and walked to the side of a stall while politely asking, "Big Brother …" "Hmm, why haven't any of those fortune-tellers come? Weren't they still staying here yesterday?"

That elder brother raised his head and looked at me before chuckling. "Are you trying to tell me your fate?"

"No, I'm looking for someone?"

He waved his hand and said, "You, ah, come at the wrong time. They usually only come out at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the peak hours when there are many people. You've come too early, so wait a few more hours before they come over."

When I heard this, I placed the blanket on the floor and sat on it myself. I intended to wait.

When the big brother saw me sitting down, he was also curious. "What's the matter, young man?"

"It's alright, I'll wait for them here." "No," I said.

That big brother cunningly smiled and asked again: "Lad, have you been tricked by someone?"

I raised my head to look at my brother. "How did you know?"

You can see from your appearance that all day long this bunch of godly men are all deceiving food and drinks, and not a single one of them is decent. Yesterday, when you came, I noticed you were tricked by that guy and obediently gave you 200 yuan.

Boundless rage was raging in my heart. I suddenly felt foolish, being tricked by an old man. I didn't utter a single word and just sat there sulking.

At this time, the elder brother said, "I say, brother, you look weak and gentle. It's easy to tell that you're a university student, but why do you believe this kind of thing? Come on, don't be so serious. Just treat it as spending money to buy a lesson. What can you do if you find that old man? "These fortune-tellers are all in the same group. If you dare to attack, they'll hit you together. I advise you to hurry up and leave. Don't wait here foolishly. You won't get the money back, so go do what you need to do …"

F * ck, to think that there would be such a thing. Even fortune-tellers are in an alliance, how can we let others live?

But I just can't swallow my anger. I just want to argue with that old liar. If worst comes to worst, I'll call the police and capture that old liar.

After I told the elder brother about this, he shook his head and said, "Lad, you're still young, so you shouldn't have made such a big fight over the two hundred yuan. I told him this to the elder brother and he only told you this because he saw that you're an honest man.

However, there was one thing that I was puzzled about. How did that old man know that I had been suffering from bad luck recently?

I asked that big brother, and that big brother laughed and explained, "You little brat, you have a bitter face, and don't look like someone who got lucky no matter who looks at you. These godly men, they are all ignorant, and when they see people wearing extravagant clothes, they use all their strength to praise them, and when they see poor people, they would scare people, and they would have to take out some money from your pocket no matter what. These people, when they see people talking like that, they speak like ghosts and I set up stalls here every day.

So that's how it is. Looks like I'm the dumb kid from the legends who has yet to enter the world. To be duped so easily, I won't be looking for fortune-telling in the future.

Listening to this big brother's words, I felt more and more regretful. I felt more and more that I was an incorrigible fool. I was so angry that I wasn't hungry at all. It was obvious that I hadn't eaten for an entire day.

After chatting with the elder brother for a while, two to three hours had passed unknowingly. In the afternoon, they gradually got to know each other.

At this time, the elder brother said, "If you can't wait for that old man at four or five o'clock, then you won't have to wait today. They usually fight at different places with guns, but no one can say for sure. Sometimes, after working at this place for several days, they can go somewhere else to cheat money.

"Whether or not he can wait depends on my luck. If he really can't wait, then I have no choice but to come again tomorrow. I don't believe that he won't come. I have to tell that old liar about my resentment, or else my heart will feel uncomfortable …"

That big brother was about to say something when he saw a person carrying a horse walking towards them from afar.

The man was wearing a tattered Daoist robe and was walking with large strides. In one hand, he was holding a Magza, and in the other, he was holding a Sapporo.

What a big tone, he was definitely another swindler.

I thought.

After chatting with my big brother at the stall for a long time, I was disgusted by these fortune-telling films and felt that none of them were good people.

As the man drew closer, I took a closer look at him. He was a young man, not very old, a man of about twenty-seven or twenty-eight. He had messy hair and a tree branch stuck in his hair, giving him an impression of sloppiness.

With this appearance, if he still wanted to cheat, he had to at least wear clean clothes, no?

"Aiya …" "This is a new face, I've never seen this divination before …" The big brother who was setting up the stall looked at the diviner and said with a puzzled expression.

I turned my head to look at my stall's elder brother. "You really haven't met him before?"

"None... "This person looks unfamiliar, this should be his first time here. This is the first time I've seen someone so young telling his fortune, I think this is another big trick …" The big brother said disdainfully.

As he spoke, the fellow dressed in slovenly Daoist robes walked towards us. Right next to the big brother's stall, he put down Mazza, swung his Sapporo, and smacked his bottom.

After that slovenly Daoist Priest sat down, he even smiled towards us as a form of greeting. The big brother who set up the stall also smiled at him, while I coldly snorted and turned my head away.

At that moment, the slovenly Daoist Priest suddenly stood up and walked towards me. He knitted his brows as he sized me up before suddenly saying, "Aiya, this is incredible. Your luck has been bad recently!"
