Wuxia Novelist - Chapter 17

[Chapter 17 The Old Blind Man]
The other side.
Fulai Inn.
After Bai Zhanfei left, Lu Si was also thinking about future storytellers.
After this incident, he guessed that Bai Zhanfei was afraid that he would not be able to continue his storytelling here.
Even if Bai Zhanfei agrees, the Bai family will not agree.
If I don’t want to continue the storytelling, I can only find another person to replace it.
It’s just that the candidate for the storyteller really made Lu Si a little worried, and he didn’t know how to find it.
After thinking about it, Lu Si felt that this matter should not be rushed.
When it came to Feng Kun, his gaze sank slightly.
Feng Kun actually beat him to death in front of him today, which really surprised him.
It can also be seen that this person is narrow-minded, and his actions are fierce. Even if he retreats today, he obviously will not let it go.
“It’s a pity that I haven’t seen the method of the five tigers going up the mountain today.”
Lu Si sighed slightly, feeling a little regretful.
He has been traveling for a long time, and he has never fought against warriors in this world, so he really wants to know his current methods.
The last time I taught Zhang San a lesson, it wasn’t really a hand at all. After all, Zhang San’s three-legged cat kung fu was praised by people who practiced martial arts.
“Forget it. Sooner or later, there will be time to do something, and maybe I won’t let myself wait too long.” “I
just hope that Feng Kun won’t let me down too much.” Suddenly
, Lu Si smiled slightly, and there was something in his eyes. It’s a look of anticipation.
really.
Early the next morning.
Lu Si received a message from Bai Zhanfei, saying that he could not continue the storytelling, presumably he was grounded by his family.
He didn’t care about it, anyway, he had guessed it before.
But without Bai Zhanfei, Lu Si could only speak on stage by himself.
It was not until the guests dispersed in the afternoon that they had the opportunity to leave the inn.
Walking on the street, Lu Siben planned to see if he could find a suitable storyteller.
But after looking around, I couldn’t find one in the evening.
Just as she was about to leave in disappointment, she suddenly heard a voice from the side.
“Ma’am, your palms are messed up by this old man, I’m afraid there will be a bloodbath in the near future!”
I saw an old blind man in a tattered robe sitting on a small stool with half-opened eyes in a corner of the street.
There is a small stall in front of it, with a banner hanging on it, with the four big characters of “Iron mouth breaks gold”, it is actually a fortune teller.
At this time, the old blind man was holding the hand of an old woman, shaking his head, and said it in a serious manner.
Surrounded by a few children, they also shook their heads and smiled, which made people laugh.
Seeing the scene, Lu Si was slightly taken aback, and couldn’t help laughing.
I never imagined that in this world, such a thing would happen.
The familiar lines, the familiar script, if he hadn’t changed the lines, he really thought that someone had traveled through time.
As a result, the old woman said in a trembling voice with an anxious expression.
“Master, what…how can I do this?”
The old blind man sighed and said, “Originally, the old man should not interfere with this matter, so it shows that you are sincere. Anyway, I have a piece of talisman paper here, as long as you stick it at home Stay away from bad luck.”
As he spoke, he took out a tattered talisman paper from his bosom, on which strange symbols could be vaguely seen.
But the old woman felt like she had found a treasure, and said happily: “Thank you, Master, thank you, Master.”
With an expression of gratitude, he even took out a dozen or so coins from his pocket and handed it to the other party.
The old blind man was not polite either, he handed the talisman paper to the other party after receiving the money, and the latter left happily.
As soon as the old woman left, the children around her surrounded her, scrambling to speak.
“Hey! Old blind man, tell me what happened to Hu Fei?”
“Yeah, is Miao Renfeng really that powerful?” The
old blind man cleared his throat and cursed: “A group of little white-eyed wolves, you know I don’t even give you a copper for listening to Lao Tzu’s storytelling.”
Even though he said that, he still shook his head and said.
Looking at the scene, Lu Si was slightly stunned, no wonder there were several children around.
Unexpectedly, this old blind man can not only tell fortunes, but also tell stories.
I saw the old blind man eloquently, and his words were fascinating, and the children listened with great interest.
After talking for a while, the old blind man stopped.
“Okay, that’s all for today, don’t think that the old blind man’s saliva is for nothing.”
Several little guys laughed and walked away without saying anything, obviously knowing the old blind man’s temper.
“This old gentleman, I wonder if you can make a fortune for me?”
Lu Si’s heart moved, he stepped forward, and said with a smile.
The old blind man raised his eyebrows, pinched a few strands of his beard pretendingly, and sighed with a moved expression.
“This young man has a really good face. There is a dragon hidden in the abyss, wealth is pressing, and the future is limitless!” “
Oh? The old man still looks at the face?”
Lu Si only thought it was funny.
It is really an anecdote that a blind man knows how to read faces.
The old blind man shook his head and said: “Young master, you don’t know something. As the saying goes, the face is born from the heart, and the sound is transmitted from the heart. Old blind man, although I am blind, my ears are very sharp. I can tell that the young man is thinking. For those of you who are thorough, it will be a short while for you to swim in the dragon shoal and soar to the sky!”
Lu Si couldn’t help but be surprised by the soundness of the words.
“Could it be that this old blind man is really capable?” Lu Si was startled.
But he didn’t want to, the old blind man changed his subject: “However, I see that young master has suffered a bloody disaster recently. It just so happens that I have a piece of ancestral talisman paper, which should be able to solve the disaster for young master.” As he spoke, he took out another piece of paper from his pocket
. Crumpled yellow paper.
The same rhetoric, the same routine.
Lu Si almost laughed out of breath, unexpectedly, he was almost bluffed by this old guy.
At this moment, he also understood. No wonder so many people know that fortune-telling is unreliable, but they are still willing to be deceived.
Who wouldn’t want to spend a little money on dim sum?
Lu Si smiled and said, “I wonder how much this talisman is worth?” The old blind man
said solemnly, “Not much, just one or two taels of silver.”
I want a tael of silver.
Lu Si smiled and did not expose it, directly took out a piece of silver, and threw it in front of the booth with a clang.
The old blind man sneaked a glance with his half-closed eyes, seeing the ingot of silver worth at least four or five taels, he felt a surge of excitement, knowing that he had met a big master.
“The old man thinks this money is enough?”
Lu Si asked with a smile.
The old blind man nodded again and again: “Enough, enough.”
“The old man has good eyesight, and he knows that the money is enough.”
Lu Si laughed.
The old blind man blushed, and said calmly: “The old man is old, and his hearing is naturally sharper than ordinary people.”
As he spoke, he reached out to pick up the silver, but found nothing.
Lu Si squeezed the money in his hand, smiled and said: “The old man is looking to see which hand the money is in? As long as he guesses correctly, the money will be given to you.” At this moment, the old blind man knew that he was
pretending Not going any further, he quickly opened his eyes and smiled wryly.
“Mr. Lu, don’t joke with me. I just earn a little money to make ends meet.”
His eyes were so clear that he didn’t look blind at all.
Lu Si wasn’t surprised. He felt something was wrong just now. How could a blind man speak so well of the book?
Could it be that someone said it word by word and asked him to recite it?
“The old man is really courageous. People who talk about my book and dare to lie to me, do you really think I’m easy to bully?”
Lu Si’s face changed, and he sneered.
“Mr. Lu, what are you talking about?” The old blind man denied it.
Lu Si grabbed the other party and said calmly: “Since it’s not a lie, please go to the yamen with me, the old gentleman. I remember that the old lady didn’t go very far just now.
” How can I go to the Yamen?
“Sir Lu, tell me what you want this old man to do.”
Knowing that this man had ulterior motives, the old blind man could only smile and give in.
“I just heard that the old man’s book was good. It just so happens that my inn is still short of a storyteller. I wonder if the old man is willing to do it now?”
Lu Si also smiled when he heard it.
However, seeing what this person said was good just now, he suddenly felt that the other party might be a good candidate.
“Let the old man tell the story?”
The corner of the old blind man’s mouth twitched, his expression reluctant.
“Don’t be unwilling, old man, I won’t let you talk in vain.”
Lu Si took out the money just now and said calmly.
“As long as the old man agrees, the money in my hand will be yours. And in the future, the money that should be there will be less.” “
This?”
The old blind man hesitated immediately.
This is obviously a lot of money, which is much better than fortune-telling here, and besides, there is no need to be out in the wind and rain all day.
“Mr. Lu’s invitation is so gracious, if the old blind man refuses, he will be uninterested.” The old blind man
knew that he couldn’t refuse, and the other party made it clear that he was sure of him, and the conditions offered were good, so he agreed .
Lu Si smiled lightly, as if she expected the old blind man to make such a choice.
After all, people who have been wandering outside all year round are also the best at judging the situation.
He was about to say something, but suddenly his expression changed, and he suddenly changed his words.
“The old man must know where the inn is, so I won’t accompany you there. When you arrive at the inn, just tell me that I asked you to come, and someone will entertain you.” After finishing speaking, without waiting for the other party to reply, he walked aside on his
own alley.
