Wuxia Novelist Chapter 17: Old blind man


On 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 storytelling, I can only find another person to replace it.

It's just that the candidate for the storytelling made Lu Si a little worried, and he didn't know how to find it.

After thinking for a while, Lu Si felt that this matter should not be too urgent.

When it came to Feng Kun, his eyes were slightly darkened.

Feng Kun unexpectedly killed him 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 actually hands-on 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 a time to do it, and maybe I won't let myself wait too long."

"I just hope that Feng Kun won't disappoint me too much."

Suddenly, Lu Si smiled slightly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Sure enough.

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 didn't find one near the evening.

Just as she was about to leave in disappointment, she suddenly heard a voice from the side.

"Madam, this old man's palms are messed up when he touches you, I'm afraid there will be **** disasters in the near future!"

At the corner of the street, an old blind man wearing a tattered robe and half-closed eyes was sitting on a small stool.

There is a small stall in front of it, with a banner hanging on it, with the four 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.

Looking at the scene, Lu Si was slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I never thought that in this world, such a thing would happen.

This familiar line, the familiar script, if the lines hadn't been changed, he really thought someone had traveled through time.

As a result, the old woman said in a trembling voice with a panicked expression.

"Master, this...how can this be done?"

The old blind man sighed and said, "Originally, the old man should not interfere with this matter, which shows that you are so sincere. Anyway, I just happen to have a piece of talisman paper here. As long as you stick it at home, you can avoid evil."

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 as if she had found a treasure, and said happily: "Thank you, master, thank you, master."

With a grateful look, he even took out a dozen or so coins from his bosom and handed them to the other party.

The old blind man was not polite, he took the money and handed the talisman paper to the other party, who left happily.

As soon as the old woman left, the children around her cheered and surrounded them, scrambling to speak first.

"Hey! Old blind man, tell me what happened to Hu Fei?"

"Yes, is Miao Renfeng really that powerful?"

The old blind man cleared his throat, and cursed: "A group of little white-eyed wolves, they know that they listen to Lao Tzu's stories for nothing, and don't even give them a copper."

Even though he didn't give the words, he still shook his head and said.

Looking at the scene, Lu Si suddenly realized, no wonder there are several children around.

I don't think this old blind man can not only tell fortunes, but also tell stories.

The old blind man was eloquent, and his speech was 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 my saliva is for nothing."

The little fellows were laughing and walking away without saying anything, apparently knowing the old blind man's temper.

"This old gentleman, I wonder if you can make a fortune for me?"

Lu Si's heart skipped a beat, he stepped forward and spoke with a smile.

The old blind man frowned, and pretending to pinch a few strands of beard, he sighed with a moved expression.

"This son is really good-looking. There is a way to hide the abyss, wealth is overwhelming, and the future is limitless!"

"Oh? The old man still reads faces?"

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, faces come from the heart, and sound is transmitted from the heart. Old blind man, although I am blind, my ears are very sharp. I can tell you right away, young man. He is a person with a thorough mind, he has been lucky recently, he swims in the dragon shoal, and he will fly to the sky soon!"

Lu Si couldn't help but be surprised by the soundness of a sentence.

"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 the young master seems to have suffered a **** disaster recently. It just so happens that I have a piece of ancestral talisman, which should be able to solve the disaster for the young master."

As he spoke, he took out another piece of crumpled yellow paper from his bosom.

The same rhetoric, the same routine.

Lu Si almost laughed out of breath, unexpectedly, he was almost bluffed by this old guy.

Now he understands, no wonder so many people know that fortune telling is unreliable, but are still willing to be deceived.

Who wouldn't want to spend a small amount of money to buy dim sum?

Lu Si smiled and said, "I don't know how much this talisman is worth?"

The old blind man said solemnly: "Not much, just one tael of silver."

Just now, the old woman only paid a dozen or so coins, but now she actually asks herself for 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, and saw that the ingot of silver was at least four or five taels, and his heart was agitated, knowing that he had met a big master.

"The old man thinks this money is enough?"

Lu Si said with a smile.

The old blind man nodded again and again: "Enough, enough."

"The old man has really 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 getting older, 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 you guess correctly, the money will be given to you."

At this moment, the old blind man knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, so he quickly opened his eyes and smiled wryly.

"Mr. Lu, stop joking with the old man. The old man is just earning a little money to make ends meet."

A pair of eyes are very clear, how can they look blind.

Lu Si wasn't surprised. He felt something was wrong just now. How could a blind man speak so well of the book?

Is it difficult or someone said it word by word and asked him to recite it?

"The old man is really brave. People who talk about my book and dare to lie to me, do you really think that I am 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, then please go to the Yamen with me, old gentleman. I remember that the old lady didn't go very far just now."

The old blind man turned pale with fright~IndoMTL.com~ If he had gone to the yamen, he wouldn't be able to leave.

"Sir Lu, tell me what you want this old man to do."

Knowing that this person had ulterior motives, the old blind man had no choice but to give in with a smile.

"I just heard that the old man's book is good. It just so happens that my inn is short of a storyteller recently. I wonder if the old man is willing now?"

When Lu Si heard this, she also smiled.

But just now seeing what this person said was good, 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 for nothing."

Lu Si took out the silver just now, and said lightly.

"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 immediately hesitated.

This money is obviously a lot, much better than fortune-telling here, and besides, there is no need to be out in the wind and rain all day.

"Mr. Lu is so kind to invite you, if the old blind man refuses, it will be foolish."

The old blind man knew that he couldn't refuse, and the other party made it clear that he was determined, and the offer was 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.

Just as he was about to say something, his expression suddenly changed and he 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 say that I asked you to come, and someone will entertain you."

After speaking, without waiting for the other party to reply, he walked towards the alley on his own.
