Nightcrawler: 20 Years of Peaceful Demons

Chapter 51 Ma Yi'ao's Way of Making Money

The two of them were walking on the street, surrounded by tourists and pedestrians, and then I was surprised by a strange thing, that is, although there were a lot of troubles in front of me, Ma Yi'ao didn't worry about it all the time. Frowning.

He will look at the products on the stall from time to time, and if he encounters something he is interested in, he will even stop and bargain with others.

I paid attention and found that he especially likes electronic products, whether it is a CD player or a handheld game console, his interest is very strong. This is a bit different from his usual calm temperament, and it also makes me know him more deeply. some.

General demeanor.

We wandered from the street to the end of the street. Ma Yi'ao was particularly fascinated by a Malay-made CD player. After trying it again and again, the boss thought it was interesting and explained it patiently.

In the end, Ma Yi'ao took me away, causing the boss to mutter behind his back and speak vulgar words.

I heard him scolding badly, so I couldn't help but turn around and wanted to argue with him, but Ma Yi'ao grabbed me and said, "Go, let's talk outside."

I nodded, followed him outside, and then heard Ma Yi'ao asking me: "Hou Zi, how much money do you have?"

This sentence made me quite embarrassed.

As a matter of fact, I was the one who paid for the meal and the car ride. I don’t mind this. First, I’ve never been a stingy person, and Ma Yi’ao has helped me so much. Coming and going, most of them are counted as busy for me.

I spend money, and I should.

It's just that I've only been in the south for a few years, and the one who really makes a good income is just working as a medicine supplier in Xianghui for more than a year.

Mainly there is commission.

The savings I have accumulated from working in the past few years have been exhausted amid all kinds of messes during this period, and the last sum of money was also given to Xiao Zhonghuang to buy medicinal materials and make soup. At the moment, I have almost no money on hand.

I took out all the more than 60 yuan in my pocket, and said with a wry smile: "Look, it's all here."

Ma Yi'ao was a little surprised, saying that there was nothing in the passbook?
I shook my head and said that I took out everything that could be taken out--I am not a big boss, just a small wage earner or a salesman. How can I have any money?
Seeing it, Ma Yi'ao scratched his head, feeling a little headache.

I was also quite embarrassed, rubbed my nose, and finally said a long-standing question in my heart: "Ahem, what, Brother Ma, people like you on the scene usually run around and go around. Busy work, doing big things, but—well, you may also have the needs of ordinary people, and you also need to eat and drink. Since you have these things, you must have financial support... I would like to ask, what do you usually do? What are the sources of income?"

Hearing my sharp question, Ma Yi'ao froze for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

He said that you have got the point. Speaking of it, practitioners are also ordinary people. They have to go hungry if they don’t have to give birth. Why, do you want to know where our money comes from?

I weakly asked: "Could it be that he is a flying robber who robs the rich and helps the poor?"

Ma Yi'ao laughed and said, "You can really think, why don't you write novels?"Do you still rob the rich and help the poor, and do justice for the sky?Wake up, now is a society ruled by law, if you don't want to go to jail or be wanted everywhere, you have to live in peace and abide by some rules.

I don't understand, what is that?

Ma Yi'ao said that cats have cat ways, and rats have mouse ways—for example, those monks and priests who have become monks, they have their own sesame oil for offering, and as far as I know, many practitioners have their own inheritance from their ancestors, and they all have quite a family fortune Yes, and even those who have no family property are capable. If they can’t do it, they can find a job, work for the country, work for the rich, or be affiliated with a certain company as a consultant. These are all jobs for money. As for me... ...Ahem, let's go, I'll take you to see it.

Anyway, I have to wait for Lao Wai's information, and I'm free at the moment, Ma Yi'ao doesn't mind showing me a lot of insight.

The two of them walked out of Zhongying Street and wandered around the neighborhood. I watched Ma Yi'ao look around, his eyes were mischievous, and I was a little worried. It's ridiculous. For a person like him, it's almost like catching thieves. It's too bad to do it by yourself.

In short, after walking for more than half an hour, he wandered around and refused to say anything, which made me confused. Finally, he came to a not-so-bustling street corner, at a fortune-telling booth with banners and banners. stopped before.

The fortune teller is a blind man wearing sunglasses, in his 50s, with a goatee, wearing a clean blue robe and thousand-layer shoes, sitting on a small horse tie. The yellow cloth blanket is very serious.

On the banner, there are three big characters "Liu Banxian".

As if sensing our arrival, the gentleman glanced at the corner of his mouth, stretched out his hand to hold the goatee, and then greeted: "You two, pass by, don't miss it—there are dreams every day, and the spirit predicts good and bad luck. My surname is Liu, and my ancestral home is Fujian. The word Jiexuan and the nickname Zhimi are the most famous forecasters, day-pickers, naming masters, and Fengshui masters in the world today. I have been keen on Yi learning since I was a child. I have traveled all over the world and visited famous teachers. Forecasting disciplines such as horoscopes, daily studies, name studies, and geomantic omens have deep insights and rich practical experience. They can truly use the I Ching culture to guide people and solve problems. People in the world are called "Liu Banxian". What can I do for you? Is it?"

This man talks one way after another, his level of speaking is very high, and he is dressed in a fairy style, which makes people feel awe.

I don't know what Ma Yi'ao is going to do. I thought that I don't have any money in my pocket, so I'm a fart, but I never thought that he sat on the opposite side of Liu Banxian, grinned, and said that I heard what you said, It's really powerful, I don't know where the teacher came from?
As soon as he said this, the blind man's expression turned a little strange. After thinking for two seconds, he cupped his hands and said, "My teacher, Qin Badou, knows astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom. Mr. Sanli is also."

Ma Yi'ao smiled and said, "I don't know how many fingers your master Qin Badou has on his left hand?"
As soon as I said this, I immediately felt that there seemed to be a little movement under the man's sunglasses. When I looked carefully, I saw that the man opened his eyes and looked at Ma Yi'ao, as if he felt that we were watching. He hurriedly closed his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Five...four?"

"Don't be nervous, it's a 'root' not a 'one', are you sure it's four?"

"Uh...five."

"confirmed?"

"What do you mean? I don't know who you are, please enlighten me."

"As far as I know, Mr. Sanli was born with six fingers. Do you think he is called Qin Badou, so you guessed that he has two hands and four fingers on one side?"

"This one……"

Seeing that Liu Banxian was already wiping his forehead so nervous, Ma Yi'ao laughed, and said it's ok, don't pretend, since you can name Mr. Sanli, you must be a man who runs the pier, I I won't embarrass you today, but I need to borrow one of your things to use.

Then Liu Banxian knew that he would meet someone with real skills, so he didn't dare to be negligent, so he quickly took out an iron box from under the mat, opened it, and said with a wry smile: "Business is not good today, so I only made this little money, you Do not dislike it, just take it away."

Ma Yi'ao raised his eyebrows and said that I would ask you for your hard-earned money?Stop talking nonsense and take off your clothes.

Liu Banxian was terrified, saying he didn’t dare, dare not... Well, big brother, I’m not a masculine person, and I’ve always been quite resistant to this matter. I used to go to the north at the pier, and a large group of people in the bathhouse were a little bit Not used to it, we have something to talk about...

Ma Yi'ao took a sip and said, what are you thinking, I want to borrow your outfit to make some money, it won't take you long, hurry up.

Hearing this, Liu Banxian heaved a sigh of relief, feeling much more relaxed, took off his sunglasses, and said hi, you said it earlier, I thought you were interested in my stinky skeleton, alas...

The two went behind the tree, and after a while, Ma Yi'ao changed into Liu Banxian's outfit, came out shaking his head, and asked me, "How is it, does it look the same?"

I smiled wryly, and couldn't help complaining: "Do you have a senior brother named Zamao Xiaodao?"

what?
Ma Yi'ao was taken aback for a moment, saying who?

I shook my head and said it was nothing, my nerves were wrong, and I suddenly jumped into the scene-you go on and start your performance.

Ma Yi'ao rolled his eyes, sat back on the pony pony, then picked up a book on the floor, and began to read it. Liu Banxian and I squatted beside him, and saw that he hadn't moved for a long time. We didn't know what he was going to do. Liu Banxian was a little anxious and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

Ma Yi'ao put down the book, looked up at him, and said, what's the matter, are you in a hurry?

Liu Banxian hurriedly waved his hand and said no, no, I’m not in a hurry, I’m not waiting for you to open this business—I’m Ye Luzi, I figured it out by myself, and I just want to learn something from you so that I can apply what I have learned in the future.

Ma Yi'ao shook his head, saying that you can't learn my skills... Hey, stay tuned, ma'am!
what?
A young woman in her 30s hurried past the stall, and when she heard Ma Yi'ao's yelling, she subconsciously stopped and asked with some uncertainty, "You called me?"

She was wearing a small navy blue suit, black stockings and high-heeled shoes, and lipstick on her lips. This dress was considered very fashionable in that era. Ma Yi'ao nodded with a smile, and said yes, I call you, I feel Your complexion is not very good. If you are not in a hurry, can I delay you for 2 minutes?
The young woman is not pretty, but she is quite intellectual in terms of her attire and temperament. However, this kind of woman has always been quite repulsive to street fortune-tellers, so it is probably difficult to get tricked, right?
I felt that she frowned, as if a little dissatisfied. If Ma Yi'ao hadn't been pretty good-looking and had a good temperament, unlike the wretched Liu Banxian next to me who had taken off her robe and changed into ordinary clothes, I guess she would have Just leave.

But even so, she still said impatiently: "Sorry, I don't have time."

After all, she turned her head and left, and when I thought Ma Yi'ao's business was about to fail, he suddenly said, "Ma'am, do your limbs tend to get cold recently, and you are particularly sensitive to the cold weather, if you don't Putting on make-up will make your face paler than ordinary people, you also like to drink hot drinks, you are rarely thirsty, you are afraid of the cold in winter, but you are resistant to heat in summer?"

After a series of words came out, the young woman who had already walked a few meters away suddenly stopped, turned around, and said with a surprised face: "How did you know?"
