Republic of China

Chapter 306 Thin and thick
The rain dissipated the heat on the body, but it could not dissipate the shock on the face.

Following Zhao Sanyuan's words, the other brothers noticed something strange. Lao Kang reacted the fastest. He quickly put down everything on hand and rushed out. Then he climbed on the boat and looked left and right on the water, fearing that the boatman was an accident. Falling into the water.

Those who know how to drown will be beaten to death. Even though they are professional ferrymen, the probability of drowning is very high.

"What's up, Old Kang! If you can't find anyone, come back first! Don't fall in there too!"

If you don't look back, you won't know. The waves in the river are bigger than expected, and they are getting bigger and bigger. Now think about it, how the hell did you cross the river just now? Can this ship pass?

Although there were too many questions without answers, Zhao Sanyuan was afraid that Lao Kang would fall into the river. If he fell in, no one would be able to get him back unless the Sea Dragon King came in person.

"Go, go, go! Go, go!"

The scholar with the best legs and feet was the first to step forward and grab Lao Kang. Just as he was dragging the latter to the ferry, a wave suddenly overturned the wooden boat with terrifying force.

Seeing this situation, no one dared to stay longer. Zhao Sanyuan was worried about his master's safety and wanted Lao Liu to take him to a safe place first. However, the old man reacted faster than anyone else and rode a donkey to a safe distance. Classmate Xiao Zhao was speechless. Generally speaking, the master protects the apprentice in dangerous moments, right?
With no danger, the brothers finally left the ferry safely and stepped on the ground. During this period, only Zhao Sanyuan stumbled and lost a package. But it was not a big problem. Inside were all the pants that the brothers had changed. After a few days, It’s okay if you don’t wear it.

In a dilapidated awning, Lao Kang took off his coat and squeezed water. His 37% oily head had long since turned into soup, and he no longer had the delicate temperament he once had.

If the young apprentice always does the right thing in the wrong place at the wrong time, then Liu Mangfan's characteristic is that he will always do the three things correctly and win a group.

Old Liu's words made the brothers smile bitterly.

It's a blessing for the two stupid apprentices to have such good friends and brothers, which means Xiao Liu doesn't hold grudges anymore. Otherwise, few of the big dicks that Sanyuan smoked at the beginning would ignore their past grudges, let alone It was true to heart.

"What I'm more curious about now is how to cross the river. In that scene, Bai Tiao drowned when the waves came. With this magical punting technology, I would say that he was sailing the boat for the Jade Emperor in the Tianhe River. letter."

At this moment a crumpled cigarette was handed over.

"Start the hexagram."

Another example is importance, consciousness, urgency and initiative. In common people's words, it is called assessment.

Nanyue Village!
The boatman mentioned Nanyue Village several times!

"Master, what do you think?"

When it comes to hexagrams, Lao Kang can be regarded as an expert. However, the number of times he does hexagrams is very small. It seems that he can't do it more than three or two times throughout the year. The last time he made a hexagram was before he left home, which is about half a year. .

"How can I not see such a big living person? No matter how strong the wind and rain are, there must be a sound when falling into the water. Did any of you hear it?"

"Well-off."

That place must be the key!

From this point of view, it can be hidden from the eyes of the five of them, which shows how outrageous this matter is.

They looked at each other and shook their heads firmly.

"What are you asking about?"

"I don't have an opinion. As far as the virtues of the ferry are concerned, what can I do if I have an opinion? Do you dare to go down to the river to look for me, or do you dare to open an altar there to find people?"

It's Lao Liu. He is the only one of the brothers who smokes except for three yuan.

Normal people would feel numb when encountering this incident, and an indescribable sense of unknown fear would linger in their minds.

After all, he was considered an expert, but he didn't expect that there were strange things that he couldn't understand when bundled together.

"Ask about the future."

Mo Wenshan was an old smoker. Although he didn't express it, he admired Liu Mangfan as always.

If you can't figure it out with conventional thinking, it can only be attributed to uncontrollable supernatural events.

"Sanyuan, you were the first to turn around and look back. Didn't you really see the boatman?"

For example, new levels, new realms, new measures, and new developments are called tossing in the words of ordinary people.

And the few people present are not little Kara, who specialize in breaking evil spirits. Even if they are passing by underworld, they have to toast them before they dare to leave. Fear is definitely out of the question.

After being scolded, Zhao Sanyuan dared not say anything, so he angrily walked to the corner and took out a cigarette. Unfortunately, the cigarette box had been soaked and softened, and the cigarettes inside were also rotten. I don't care if the master wants to deal with the tobacco leaves. Still can't save face.

It does not talk about the mysterious and mysterious ways of heaven, but it speaks clearly about human nature.

In the words of experts, it is called the movement of the Tao in the opposite direction, and the use of the Tao in the weak.

Do people really understand Heluo numerology, Yin Yang and Five Elements? There are definitely very few people who understand, but there is great wisdom in this sentence that is hard to argue with.

"It's good to smoke some, just pick and choose." Old Liu also took out a cigarette and lit it, but it definitely didn't look as good as the one he paid three yuan for. "What the old man means is don't be anxious. If we think about it carefully and honestly, God will give us more or less enlightenment about everything, just like the boatman, let’s just assume that he really existed. Do you still remember what he said?”

"Ahem, cough, cough - where did you put your cigarette? Why does it smell so bad when you smoke it?"

In the words of ordinary people, it means that fate is getting thinner and thinner.

In fact, those who truly understand the truth here will often be cautious when setting up hexagrams.

Never doubt the language summarizing ability of the people at the bottom. Many profound and mysterious things throughout the ages have been perfectly summarized by ordinary people in the most down-to-earth words.

Zhao Sanyuan slapped his thigh and secretly cursed himself for forgetting this detail.

"Master, you command."

There was absolutely no sound of heavy objects falling into the water. Without any precaution, it was like disappearing into thin air.

Gradually, his eyes focused on Mo Wenshan, who was smoking, thinking about whether the old man should go back to investigate or pretend that nothing happened and continue on his way.

This is not to say that Lao Kang was a lazy critic. He was so good at making predictions that he didn't even bother to ask about good or bad luck.

But the more this happens, the more weird this thing becomes, because none of the brothers noticed anything strange. Even Mo Wenshan, he only felt the slightest bit unusual when the boat was about to dock, but how exactly was it the same? No clue.

Criticizing hexagrams is nothing more than asking about good or bad fortune.

But in fact, people who criticize fortune-telling often don't do it just once in their lives. Many people will get stuck in it as time goes by and cannot extricate themselves.

Two o'clock.

It comes from people's greed and unwillingness.

For example, this is not a typical story. If there are any similarities, it is up to you.

He said that a big brother came to see him, and that he was in good condition in the eyes of ordinary people, but he didn't ask specifically about it, and just said he would take a look. The person who reads the divination said, Brother, you are happily married and have a successful career. You should be working as an errand in the Yamen, and you are also a military attache. Except for your poor lungs and kidneys, other problems are not big. Stay down-to-earth. Just toss it hard.

The eldest brother was not happy when he heard this. He took a note and said that the master's level of care was not very good. He didn't say anything right. Then he got up and walked out.

The master who is looking at the situation will definitely not be happy. Although he is not very old, there are rules for eating this bowl of rice after all. If you feel it is wrong, then don’t give the money. You will see if you can hold it afterwards. Since you give the money, That makes it clear, isn’t it a slap in the face?

After that, the master stopped his eldest brother and said that you are an only child and have very strong learning ability. You must have graduated from a prestigious school. Recently, you have suffered from hemorrhoids and the walkway hurts.

The eldest brother was stunned and subconsciously touched his buttocks.

Obviously he didn't dare to look down on the master, and then he humbly asked for advice.

The master of the matter did not pretend to be a ghost. He honestly said that there was no reason for his misunderstanding. Your wife was not born in the year of the Ox?

This sentence was extremely destructive. It reminded the elder brother of many past events in an instant and broke his defense.

It stands to reason that I read it right. According to the horoscope, this eldest brother's 'fate' is indeed good.

But too many things went wrong.

When the eldest brother was young, his family conditions were average, he studied very well, and he was ranked among the top three in key high schools. In that era, even if he was not the proud son of heaven, he was still among the best among people.

It was also at that time that countless new ideas impacted his heart.

He was supposed to take the military academy entrance examination step by step, and his score would definitely be enough, but he decisively gave up applying for the military academy and instead wanted to study international trade at a prestigious university.

The young people who will come later will definitely think that he is crazy, but every era has its own characteristics. At that stage, soldiers would not be looked down upon by others, and sometimes they would be laughed at for being old-fashioned. How could one learn from it? What are the prospects for international trade?
I took the college entrance examination and passed it.

But after studying for less than two years, the eldest brother became anxious.

Because the speed of getting a diploma cannot keep up with the speed of social development, I heard that even a dog can make a lot of money by doing business, and that step-by-step work is a big mistake.

If you just rely on news and messages, the effect will not be very strong. The most important thing is to have a boy in the big brother. As the old saying goes, he is called a ruffian, a cheater, a crazy boy, a fool, a real delinquent boy, but people go to the border to follow him. Lao Maozi made a lot of money and made hundreds of thousands in just a few years. The money was blowing like a strong wind.

The eldest brother was anxious and decided to give up his studies.

Of course he didn't dare to tell his family about this, but the person he was dating at school knew about it and earnestly advised him not to drop out of school if he wanted to do business.

It's no use, the eldest brother is a bastard who eats weights.

The girl was really a good girl. After she couldn't persuade her at all, she took her eldest brother to have her fortune told. The old fortune teller said that you might have some money, but you are not a business material.

The conscience of heaven and earth, this girl really didn't ventilate in advance, but the eldest brother just didn't believe it.

Summary - People often just want to hear what they want to hear. If the old fortune teller says that you can be a big boss, the elder brother will definitely say that you are really a god.

The business was done, and the eldest brother went to the border to sell foreign goods and rags, that is, Master Dao. Not to mention that he made a huge profit on the first order and became a household worth ten thousand yuan.

Just when you think you will skyrocket, the reality will make you sweat.

With the advent of the national policy, strict control of customs, many gray areas have completely turned into black. To put it bluntly, smuggling and entrainment methods are not allowed to import clothing from other countries, etc.

What is the general trend?

This is called the general trend.

The eldest brother has a stubborn temper. He doesn't believe in evil, especially if he has been successful. He thinks that gold will shine wherever it is, and he can succeed in other businesses, but he doesn't know that gold will shine even if it encounters a little dust. Get up, besides, you are really not gold in the field of business.

So the eldest brother lost money. At first he filled it with the money he earned, and then borrowed money to fill it. All the relatives and friends around him borrowed it, but he still lost more and earned less. During this period, the other party was also frugal and frugal, all year round. I was reluctant to buy new clothes. Although I didn't save much money, I gave it to my eldest brother to plug the hole.

Finally it's time to make a decision.

marriage.

The girl means that it doesn't matter even if you have no money. What I like is you. Come back to study before the school expels you, and everything will be fine in the future.

Brother, doesn’t he want to?

he thinks.

He also loves this good girl.

But he felt that he was not worthy, and he must make a good comeback and then carry the sedan chair.

Good girls are an absolute rare resource in any era, and there is no shortage of men with vicious eyes in the world. Moreover, if this continues, the girl's family will not be happy.

Perhaps the girl was heartbroken and could not see hope after waiting for a long time. She compromised and married the senior who had been pursuing her.

The eldest brother continued to drift in the business world. Fortunately, he met a noble man and gave him a hand. Otherwise, he would have run away as a deadbeat.

Later, this noble lady became the eldest brother's wife, and to a certain extent, she was the envy of others.

Not only did it not stop after he got married, but it intensified. He frantically tried to make a comeback, and during this period, he frantically told fortunes.

Maybe it was to prove that the old man who said he couldn't do it at the beginning was wrong, or maybe it was to prove it to her who didn't know where he was. Anyway, the eldest brother never stopped, and even taught himself plum blossoms, Xiao Liuren, this and that. Do the math for yourself until you find the young master in front of you.

The young master really wanted to criticize him, but his professionalism made him talk arrogantly, so he patiently explained a truth.

It is said that the destiny of a person's life is like a line of ups and downs. Those ups and downs are the intersections of choices you are at every time. Whether it is divination, prediction, or divination, to put it bluntly, it is to seek good luck and avoid bad luck. Make the decline smaller and the rise larger.

But every time you have to have the attitude of riding a rocket, don't go down, just go up, or even go straight up, that's nonsense.

Pretending one's own destiny to others is a kind of self-denial and loss of oneself. Imagine someone who has taught himself various divination methods, and then the more he calculates, the more addicted he becomes, wishing he could go out and step out with his left foot and right foot. Whether it is good or bad depends on fortune telling, then this person is no different from a madman, and he is completely stunned.

Everyone was stunned. How could life get better?

So this is the fundamental reason why life is getting thinner and thinner.

No matter how good your destiny is at the turning point of the rising period in the state of magic, your rising range will be weakened to the minimum, while your falling range will be maximized, and vice versa.

It's like a good book with a wonderful story that has been turned into a paper as thin as a few pages. The book is still the same book, but it is not the same book.

Hearing this, the elder brother felt enlightened, and then he asked a key question.

Tell me if you still have a chance.
