Chapter five hundred and thirty fifth malaria(1/2)

Luo Lie was not that deep. At the age of thirteen, he did not have too high requirements for his image. He had no clear concept of emotions such as Chinese people's recognition and family ownership. He thought it was very simple. If he had the opportunity to recover his various documents, but he was not recognized by the court because he had no braids on his head and lost the opportunity to go to school, wouldn't he be sorry for his grandfather? But how likely would it be to recover his documents?

Luo Lie fell into a conflict.

After smoking a cigarette, A Biao threw the cigarette's butt to the ground, and then crushed it with the tip of his leather shoes. Seeing that Luo Lie still had not made a decision, he showed an unhappy expression on his face. "Don't you give me a face, right? Do you think you are, are you begging you?" A Biao threw down a fierce look, walked a few steps in the direction of the building, and shouted at a brother at the door of the building: "Tell me, Brother Bin, these two kids are still unwilling to cut their braids."

Luo Lie's mind was already shaken, but after A Biao's scolding, it immediately aroused his inner anger. He touched his pocket, but fortunately, it was not searched after it fell into the hands of the police. The twenty dollars were still on his body, but it was a little wet. An Zhai saw Luo Lie take out the banknotes in his pocket, and understood it. Then he took out the two US dollars in his pocket and handed them to Luo Lie. Luo Lie took it, then opened the other door, got out of the car, and placed the four US dollars on the roof.

"There are forty dollars here, let us go!"

A Biao turned around and looked at Luo Lie. The expression on his face became very strange. "Let you go? Do you think this is a vegetable market? Come on when you say it, leave when you say it?"

Luo Lie said with confidence: "You Brother Bin spent thirty dollars to buy us two from the police. Now I will give you your Brother Bin for 40 dollars. Isn't that enough?"

A Biao was so amused that he thought to himself, how can he explain it with these two children? After entering the gate of Anliang Hall in Jinshan, it is no longer a matter of money. If Brother Bin is happy, he will not only let you go, but may even pay you a hundred dollars. If Brother Bin is unhappy, he will only have the destination of corpses sinking into the sea.

Cao Bin went up the second floor and entered the study room, but was not very at ease with the outside, so he came to the window, opened the curtains, and looked downstairs quietly. Although he could not hear the sound, Luo Hun got out of the car, put on US dollars, and then made a few words with A Biao. Cao Bin had guessed these behaviors to 70% or 80%. At this time, his brothers reported outside the door that the two children were still unwilling to cut off their braids. This further verified Cao Bin's judgment.

At the Customs Police Station, Cao Bin only glanced at Luo Lie and concluded that after training for a few years, this kid would definitely become a pillar of his Jinshan Anliangtang. He took these two kids out of the police station and got into the car. Whether walking or sitting, Luo Lie's posture showed that he had received a good education, and this was loved by Cao Bin. Not only that, in the simple conversation in the car, Luo Lie showed an attitude of neither being humble nor being arrogant, which made Cao Bin still a little shocked. When he first arrived in Jinshan twenty years ago, Cao Bin was already fifteen years old, and the fifteen-year-old Cao Bin was definitely not as calm and composed.

Trees need to be straightened to become materials, and uncensored jade needs to be carved into tools. If a person becomes a dragon, it will be hard for him to become a dragon!

Cao Bin opened the window, coughed lightly, and waved his hand.

Downstairs, A Biao saw this and instantly understood what Brother Bin meant. He shrugged his shoulder helplessly, turned to Luo Lie and said, "You are right, you are very right. Okay, the door is there. If you want to leave, just leave." Seeing Luo Lie turning around and leaving without hesitation, A Biao shouted again from behind: "Come back! Take the money."

The sound was loud enough, Luo Lie must have heard it clearly, but he did not turn around and didn't even stop his steps. An Zhai hurriedly followed and whispered: "Luo Lie, they don't want our money, why don't you get it back?"

Luo Lie walked around the pool and walked straight to the bluestone bricks on the tree-lined path, and replied to An Zhai: "My grandfather said that it is best not to owe others the favor when a real man stands in the world."

Walking out of the gate made of iron fences, looking at the unfamiliar environment, and thinking that he was penniless, Luo Lie couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.

"Luo Lie, don't worry, I can tell fortunes and I can't starve us to death."

Luo Lie took a deep breath, exhaled it suddenly, and said to An Zhai: "An Zhai, let's cut the braids."

"Why?"

Luo Lie said: "Didn't you hear that person named A Biao just now? If you don't cut your braids, the police will arrest us again."

"But why didn't you want to do it just now? If you agreed just now, we can take a shower and change into new clothes."

Luo Lie was stunned for a moment, looked up at the bizarre signs on the street, smiled bitterly, and said, "The poor don't accept food given to them. My grandfather said that men can live in the world, but they cannot be without dignity."

Youth is young and don’t know how difficult the world is!

Luo Lie lost his father when he was young, and his mother pulled him to the age of seven. Life was indeed difficult during that period, but with the occasional help from his grandfather, although the mother and the mother couldn't eat well, they were not hungry. After his mother passed away, his grandfather brought Luo Lie to her side, and Luo Lie could not even feel the taste of lack of food and clothing.

When people have food and drink, they can put it in the most important position when talking about dignity, but when they are about to starve to death without food and drink, dignity may become a nonsense, and it is better not to mention it. People are poor and have a short ambition. This idiom that has been formed a thousand years ago is not without reason.

Similarly, An Zhai had never felt hungry. He only once was on the giant ship. That time, An Zhai put down his dignity and touched the steamship restaurant to steal other people's food.

An Zhai had a very little understanding of Luo Lie's words, but for a long time, An Zhai always believed that what Luo Lie said always made sense, especially when Luo Lie said his grandfather, An Zhai was even more respectful. Can such an educated old man say something wrong? "Luo Lie, I'll listen to you." An Zhai Zheng pointed his head and at the same time threw an admiration at Luo Lie and said, "We don't have scissors, how can we cut the braids?"

Such a simple question really stumped Luo Lie. Looking around, there were several barber shops on the street, but he was penniless, how could he serve him for free? His eyes were withdrawn and accidentally fell on a tiles on the side of the road. Luo Lie's eyes suddenly shone with light, "There is a way!"

An Zhai Shang was confused, and Luo Lie had already rushed over to pick up the tiles.

"Luo Lie, what are you doing?"

Luo Lie did not answer, and squatted down with the tiles, grinding the tiles with the curbstone. An Zhai then understood Luo Lie's intention, and immediately became excited. He searched the surrounding ground. He also saw a tiles in the distance. He immediately ran over and picked them up. He learned about Luo Lie's appearance and also ground them on the curbstone. The grinding objects required water. The dry grinding efficiency was very low, and it was easy to break. A tiles on Luo Lie's hand were ground and broken. A piece of tiles the size of a palm was ground to a small half, and he could not get the imagined tiles knife. As for An Zhai, it was even more miserable. He had already ground the tiles in his hand into pieces.

There was no other way, so the two brothers could only move forward in a daze.

"Luo Lie, are you drinking?" An Zhai asked as he walked.

Luo Lie shook his head first, then nodded.

"Luo Lie, are you hungry?" An Zhai saw a used cardboard box on the side of the road and subconsciously kicked it.

Luo Lie did not hesitate this time and nodded directly.

"We'll find places with many people, so I'll set up a stall and tell fortunes to others. Can you do it?"

Luo Lie nodded again, but said suspiciously: "But, we have nothing, how can we set up a stall?"

An Zhai was stunned for a moment, suddenly thought of something, turned around and ran back to pick up the cardboard box that he had just kicked. "Isn't it enough to just write two words on it?"

Luo Lie imagined it and felt that although it was simple, it was better than nothing. "Well, let's try it, go there, go there, there are many people there."

Chinese workers in Kingsoft began fifty years ago. Because gold mines were discovered in the local area, and mining gold mines was a very hard work. The proud foreigners were unwilling to do this hard work. In desperation, they could only make a request to the Qing Dynasty to introduce Chinese workers. After the first batch of Chinese workers were transported to Kingsoft, one of them, a Guangdong man who had been in the Golden Dot business for a few days, took a look at the Feng Shui of this area at a glance, and thus gradually formed the Jinshan Chinatown in front of him.

Most of the Chinese living in Chinatown cannot speak English well, while almost no foreign police can speak Mandarin. At first, misunderstandings arise due to poor communication were one after another. Later, foreign police created a new management model, with Chinese people managing themselves, and the ones responsible for this task were Cao Bin and his Anliangtang, while foreign police only needed to manage Cao Bin well.

Cao Bin has a very strong learning ability. After only three years of coming to Kingsoft, he did not have much opportunity to deal with foreigners, but he still learned fluent foreigners. Not only did he communicate with foreigners without any obstacles, he could also accurately grasp the foreigners' thoughts, so he was deeply loved by foreigners.

Cutting braids is the rule of Anliangtang under Cao Bin. The oxtail braids of the Qing Dynasty really lack beauty in Cao Bin's eyes. In addition, he believes that since he has come to the territory of foreigners, he should try his best to integrate into the culture of foreigners. He must not be self-confidence and create a small Qing Dynasty on such a small piece of land. Only by trying his best to get closer to foreigners can foreigners accept Chinese, and this Tang people can get the maximum safety.

An Zhai went through several garbage dumps and finally found a piece of coal that had not been burned. He spread out the cardboard box and wrote the Chinese characters "fortune telling" on it. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not enough, so he added three small characters below to read Feng Shui.

I squatted on the side of the road and stood in front of me. An Zhai's fortune telling stall was opened.

Chinese workers have a tragic fate. Whether they are recruited publicly or smuggled in private, every Chinese who set foot on foreign land has a heart to get rich. However, ideals are infinitely beautiful, but reality is always cruel. The living conditions of Chinese workers are not much better than those in China. The tricks of fate have caused some people to give up on themselves, but they cannot destroy most people's longing for a better life, especially Cao Bin sets an example for them.

With this mentality, the fortune telling industry still has a considerable market among Chinese workers. Therefore, the first customer came as soon as the stall was opened.

"Sir, do you want to tell fortunes?" An Zhai's eyes were already small, and then turned his eyes up, leaving only two white fish belly. With his long-standing expression, the appearance of a little blind man was very vivid. "I'm just here and I'm not familiar with the place. I'm sure you can reward two small money. I can't calculate it correctly. You just think that I'm a blind man who has made a stinky fart, beating him when he wants to beat him, and scold him when he wants to scold him. Sir, do you want to test characters or touch the bones?"

The golden dot is divided into sixteen techniques, namely divination, Yi Gua, Physical Art, Astrology, Five Elements, Geoparia, Dream, Prophecy, Character Spell, Sword Spell, Finger Mi, Qimen Dunjia, Ziwei Doushu, Tiandi Liuren, Taiyi God Number, and Iron Edition God Number. The last three items are the three secret techniques of metal pointing, which have been lost to this day. The character measurement mentioned by An Zhai is the character demolition among the sixteen techniques, and bone touching belongs to a branch of Physical Art.

In the Golden Dot business, no one has ever learned all the sixteen techniques. After deciding out the three lost secret techniques, it is rare to be able to master six of the remaining thirteen golden dot techniques. The master An Zhai has only mastered two and a half of them. The character measurement is considered one, and bone-touching can only be considered half of the physiognomy. The other is geoscience, which is commonly known as Feng Shui.

An Zhai did not have a compass in his hand, so he naturally could not play geomantic skills, and could only fool the person in front of him through the two terms of character testing and bone-touching.

Most Chinese workers have never read books and cannot read a lot of big words. Some people have lived through their entire lives, but they can't even write their own names. Therefore, the possibility of choosing to test characters is very small. An Zhai was asking for this trick. In fact, he has learned very little about the technique of character testing, but relying on a bone-touching technique, he seems to be too low.

"Touch the bones." The person who asked for fortune telling was a man in his thirties. Seeing that he could still be able to pass through his clothes, he should have some money in his pocket.

An Zhai's blind man pretended very well. The man had already reached out, but An Zhai did not catch him, but then reached out and stopped between the two, waiting for the man to move his hand over and put it on An Zhai's hand. An Zhai gently shook the man's hand, raised the corner of his mouth and smiled: "The first and the last are the right way, and the first and the last are the sideways. Sir, please move your head."

The man frowned and was a little impatient, but he moved his body forward and put his head to An Zhai's hand. An Zhai groped the man's head, rubbed it from top to bottom, and rubbed it carefully.

"Sir, are you born in the twelfth lunar month?" An Zhai asked slowly and dragged his voice. Although his voice was still tender, there was no lack of everyone's style in his tone.

The man was obviously shocked, opened his eyes and looked at An Zhai in front of him, and said, "It's indeed the twelfth lunar month."

"Mr. I was very troubled when he was born!"

The man was shocked again, opened his mouth but did not answer.

"I have lost my mother since I was a child, I'm so miserable!"

The man was shocked again, and he was already admiring him.

"Mr. has been here for several years, but he has never succeeded. He has only a lot of skills and is doing the lowest level of business. It is really a pity."

The man ignored his head still in the other party's hands and had to nod to express his inner recognition.

"Take your left hand." An Zhai touched the man's head and spread his hand out again.

The man couldn't wait to hand over his left hand to An Zhai.

"Sir, the bones are not visible, only fish bones are born..." An Zhai shook his head, just about to stroke another beard.

The man blurted out, "What do you mean?"

An Zhai said slowly: "This bone was born to like to travel, and he traveled through the continent and passed through the palace for endless time. He worked hard all his life without any ancestral property. He was always worried about food and clothing in his later years. When he was young, he could support himself and make a difference in his own strength. In his later years, he would have a wealthy family and a family of children and grandchildren."

The man was quiet for a moment, his breathing gradually became rapid. Finally, he took a deep breath and picked up his fists at An Zhai, "Mr. I am such a magician!" After sighing, he wanted to pay, first put down a 25-cent coin, and then he was stunned for a moment, picked up a ten-cent coin and placed it next to the cardboard. Then he stood up and said, "I will bring some workers tomorrow, and I don't know where I can find the little gentleman?"

An Zhai shook his head slightly and said, "Everything is with fate, fate is in front of you, and there is no fate, even in front of you, it is far away in the sky."

The man was stunned again, then smiled, then hugged An Zhai, and turned around. His steps were obviously much lighter than when he came.

Luo Lie never spoke aside, and there was no one in front of him at this moment. Then he asked in surprise: "An Zhai, how did you do it?"

Among the Sixteen Golden Dots, each technique has its profound and profoundness. What An Zhai learned is just the fur in the physiognomy. When a baby is born, environmental factors such as regional solar terms will definitely affect the baby's wrapping method. In summer, it will be thinner and looser, while in winter, it will be thicker and tighter. These differences will leave traces on the baby's body. Therefore, by touching the bones, finding its characteristics and calculating the date of birth, it is not actually

It's just too mysterious skills and experience. In addition, the differences between natural and difficult babies are also obvious. An Zhai has been studying for more than half a year. If he can't even find out this difference, it can only be said that the ancestor is unwilling to reward him for this food, and then his master will not accept him as his apprentice. When he mentioned the suffering of this person when he was born, the change in his expression told An Zhai that his mother might die of difficult babies. Since it is possible, it is worth keeping a hand.

As for what he said afterwards, it was even more mysterious. An Zhai, who pretended to be blind, had already seen the person's clothes and behavior clearly. This person's accent showed that he was a northerner. Most northerners didn't care about dressing up, while that person was very neat in his outfit. This only shows that he was greatly influenced by foreigners. Therefore, it can be completely inferred that he had been in Jinshan for some years. After being here for so long, it is always unreasonable to not master some skills. Therefore, if he said that he had only one skill, he would never say that he was incompetent. The fish bones and birth they were mentioned in the end were just a term that An Zhai introduced based on the characteristics of this person.

"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed..." An Zhai, who was victorious, was also quite excited and couldn't help but show off. As soon as he said something, he suddenly realized that something was wrong and wanted to come back quickly: "Luo Lie, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's because I swear when I was a disciple that I can't tell others the skills taught by my master."

Luo Lie was too lazy to understand this kind of knowledge. The question just now was just a word of praise that An Zhai was unwilling to say. If he really said it, he might only make Luo Lie crazy.

"An Zhai, you are really capable, much better than me. My grandfather will only force me to learn those strange words, which is useless at all." Luo Lie thought of his grandfather, and his heart trembled. If his grandfather knew about his wandering on the streets, he really didn't know what he would think.

An Zhai held the two coins and his excited expression suddenly faded away, and a lot of disappointment emerged, "I calculated so accurately, but he gave this little money."

Luo Lie said: "Add one 35 cents, a lot, An Zhai, three 35 cents are worth a piece of ocean. How many families can't make a piece of ocean in a month!"

An Zhai thought about it. In China, his master took action and killed others. The money he got was only a dozen or twenty copper coins, and his first business earned several times more than his master. So what else could he be dissatisfied? Thinking of this, An Zhai's face was filled with joy again. "Let's go, Luo Lie, let's go eat."

Thirty-five cents are indeed a lot. The two brothers each ate a big bowl of Yangchun noodles and spent five cents. An Zhai was surprised to be so valuable and making money by himself, so he suggested eating meat. Naturally, Luo Lie firmly denied it.

"You can't eat meat and spend money randomly. An Zhai, you have good luck today and made money. If you have bad luck tomorrow and don't make money, then aren't we going hungry?"

This kind of street business is entirely rewarded by God. The wind is reduced by half and the rain is gone. If there is a rainy weather, no one is willing to tell fortunes. An Zhai was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the various meats in the restaurant cabinets. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He was reluctant to follow Luo Lie out of the restaurant.

As the sky was getting darker and there were fewer pedestrians. The two of them had enough money in their pockets to eat six big bowls of Yangchun noodles, so they stopped setting up stalls to seek business, but instead walked on the street, looking for a place to rest at night.

I was lucky. After strolling around, I saw a construction site. Next to the construction site, there were many cement pipes with a diameter of as many as one meter. What a great place to go! They can block the wind and shelter from the rain. However, when the two brothers got in and lay down, they were scalded. The cement pipe was exposed to the sun all day. Although the sun had been setting for a long time, the temperature on the pipe wall had not yet dropped.

When it was dark and the temperature of the pipe wall dropped, the two brothers each had a pipe, their feet rushed inside and their heads were facing out, and they were lying comfortably without delaying chatting and talking.
To be continued...
