Chapter 214 Mr. Fortune Teller and the Thief
213
Su Haoyi and the others changed their way after leaving Jin'an City, because the emperor was young and wanted to go out to Beijing to tour, and the official roads along the way needed to be repaired.
Therefore, the road construction has been started since May last year and is expected to be completed until next year.
Not being able to walk on the official road means going far away. Fortunately, the road is not difficult to walk on, but the place you passes is a little remote.
Su Haoyi and the others walked all the way to the southeast, so the weather became hotter the more you walked, but it was August after all, and the heat was limited. The scenery was getting more and more beautiful, and with beautiful scenery, you don’t feel that the road was long.
They came to Hualing City that day. What's strange is that there are no birch trees in this place, so I don't know why they call it this name.
The small town is not big, with only one main street. When Su Haoyi and the others arrived, they happened to have lunch. They chose a clean storefront that looked pretty clean, and stopped the car. Su Haoyi and Sima Lantai got out of the car one after another.
There were people quarreling not far away, and many people were watching on the inside and outside.
Su Haoyi was curious and looked into the crowd with his feet.
I saw a big and thick man holding a thin middle-aged man and shouting, "Didn't you say that? I had a son before I was thirty! Why did I give birth to five of them in a row and were all maids?! I will be thirty tomorrow, and I didn't even see the shadow of a son. You old liar! Look at me, I won't beat you to death today!"
Su Haoyi immediately understood that the thin man was a fortune teller. The one who wanted to beat someone must be eager to do it, so he came to his fortune teller. The fortune teller told him that he would have a son before he was thirty years old. Who would have thought that he would not be able to calculate accurately, and someone came to him.
Su Haoyi stood there and watched the fun. Sima Lantai didn't urge her. Mo Tong and others had long been used to it, and they also watched the fun with Su Haoyi.
To be honest, only by following Mr. Su can you be fun to watch. If it is his own master, he will not even look at him.
The onlookers were talking, some persuaded and some persuaded to fight. Perhaps this fortune teller often made a lot of mistakes, which made many people hate him.
"Did you remember it wrong? When did I calculate this divination for you?" The fortune teller hugged his head and quibbled: "Can someone testify to you?"
"Then you still want to deny it?" The man became more anxious: "Believe it or not, I will punch you with a punch!"
The fortune teller is thin and small, and he is not as thick as the man. If he really wants to hit him, he will have to spit out blood without a few punches, and he may even die.
Of course, the fortune teller understood this. He turned his eyes and hugged the big man's legs, pulled his neck and shouted: "Dad!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, including the big man.
Su Haoyi burst out laughing, but the fortune teller could come up with the idea.
After a moment, the big man woke up and became even more angry. His whole face turned purple and he shouted, "You are still teasing me!"
"I dare not tease you. I'm not kidding you for my life?!" The fortune teller blinked his two small eyes and explained: "I usually have too many fortune tellers, so it's normal to have someone I can't remember. I just remembered that I had a fortune teller for myself at the beginning of the year. I must recognize a godfather in August this year, otherwise there will be a bloody disaster. In this way, won't the hexagrams of our two? I said you have a son's life, but I didn't say whether they were a biological son or a godson. I'm going to recognize a godfather in August this year. You won't come early or late, but I came on the last day of August. In this way, you have a son and I have a godfather. This is just right for someone with the surname He to marry a surname Zheng!"
"I'm going, you're just right!" The man was completely angry and punched the fortune teller's nose, causing him to bleed.
However, the man only punched this time and let go, turning around angrily.
Seeing that it was not lively, everyone left with a loud bang and went home to have a meal.
Su Haoyi also waited to turn around, and suddenly a seven or eight-year-old child ran over from there, wearing a torn dress, dirty all over, and barefoot.
He ran away after hitting Su Haoyi.
Su Haoyi only felt that the belt was tightened. He looked down and saw that the little golden beetle tied around his waist was gone. So he shouted to the child: "Stop! Return me something!"
He chased after him as he said that.
As soon as she ran away, Mo Tong and others hurriedly followed her, fearing that she would make any mistakes.
The child was hiking around in the crowd, like a loach, stepping on the bluestone slab barely, making a slap sound.
Su Haoyi is not an ordinary person. She ran very quickly and was about to catch up with the child.
With a snap, the child tripped and fell out, and slapped him firmly on the ground.
The one who tripped the child was a short and fat middle-aged man, who looked like he was dressed up and looked like he had some identity.
He walked up, stepped on the child's vest, and scolded: "You bastard! You have to go to jail if you steal something! Why don't you pay it back to someone!"
As he said that, he turned his face and apologized to Su with a smile on his face: "Young Master, please don't blame me! This child is still young and ignorant!"
Su kindly did not want to cause trouble, and said politely: "I won't pursue it, just return the things to me."
The man snatched Su Haoyi's thing from the child and returned it with both hands.
He took the opportunity to chat and said, "Young Master is coming from the metropolis, right? Look at your clothes and conversations are different. I wonder if you want to stay in a hotel? The inn run by the old man is clean and spacious, and the price is fair."
Su Haoyi had long seen that he was standing in front of an inn, and it turned out that it was the fat man who drove it.
"No need, we just have a meal and leave." Su refused with kindness.
"I wonder if the young master wants to buy some clothes? Or if he wants to visit relatives, he needs to prepare some gifts? This silk and satin farm is also a business for the young man. It is a new good product from Huzhou." The fat man introduced with a smile.
"Thank you for thinking about it, but unfortunately I don't need it for the time being." Su said good-heartedly and left.
The fat man's big face suddenly disappeared, he cursed with a vicious word in a low voice, turned around and entered the silk shop.
"What's wrong with that child?" Sima Lantai kept watching from a distance, and asked Su Haoyi when he came back.
