This was an anti-theft badge,
The purchase ratio was less than 30%, and the anti-theft time was 24 hours.
Because this person was good-looking, it attracted the attention of the people in the entire county city,
Regardless of gender, from an 80-year-old old man to a four or five-year-old child,
They all liked to come to the east of the city to take a look at him when they had nothing to do,
It could also be considered as a disguised increase in the surrounding economy.
Logically speaking, with such a large flow of people..,
This fortune-teller's business should be very good. But the strange thing was..,
There was no one in front of his fortune-telling stall. In contrast to the bustling business around him..,
It was even more tragic to look at. There were people who did not know who wanted to do a divination, regardless of whether it was accurate or not..,
To be able to communicate with such a good-looking person at a close distance..,
It could be considered a great blessing in life. However, when they saw the words on the fortune-telling banner beside him..,
They could only stop and leave with regret.
This was also where this fortune-teller was different from ordinary fortune-tellers. Ordinary fortune-tellers' banners had words like "Ask for Divination", "Half Immortal X", and "Divine Prediction" written on them. However, his fortune-telling banner had the words "Ten taels of Love per Divination" written on it. It was very arrogant.
However, most of the people in the county city were poor farmers,
Ten taels,
It was equivalent to their family's annual expenses. Even those who were slightly wealthy were not willing to spend this money on fortune-telling. Therefore, for a few days..,
No one knew the surname of this fortune-teller or whether his fortune-telling skills were accurate.
On this day..,
The sun was setting in the west..,
This fortune-teller was about to fall into the predicament of "not opening" again. At this time, a group of burly men with fierce faces walked over from the street entrance. Their small eyes were faintly glowing with a fierce light, and they were all equipped with a black sheathed steel knife at their waists.
When the surrounding peddlers saw them, they all shrank their bodies and lowered their heads, not daring to speak. The people who came out to buy things also lowered their heads and carefully walked in the opposite direction with small steps, afraid that they would encounter this group of fierce fiends.
The fortune-teller who heard the movement only opened his eyes lazily to take a look, then continued to close his eyes and sleep soundly.
This group of burly men first looked around fiercely, pressuring the crowd to the point that they did not even dare to breathe loudly. Only then did they aggressively walk up to the fortune-teller's stall. The leader of the group slammed his palm on the table and said in an evil voice, "Fortune-Teller, come and tell our fortunes!"
The flesh on his face trembled a few times, and his thick arrogance to find fault with him.
Everyone was praying in their hearts that this fortune-teller would be tactful and not offend these Yama Kings. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how long she would have to wait to see such a handsome young man again.
The fortune teller clearly did not hear their inner thoughts. He only half-opened his eyes and stared at the shaking table. When the table stopped shaking, he raised his eyes and looked at the group of burly men. "Ten taels per fortune. Pay first, then the fortune teller." His voice was indifferent and clear, without fear or anger.
The group of burly men sneered one after another. The leader snorted with disdain, "Stinky fortune-teller, do you know who we are!? This land belongs to us. If you want to have your fortune told here, you have to pay us the market fee! "
"That's right, it's your good fortune to be able to tell our fortunes! I don't know where you got the guts to set up a stall here without our big brother's permission. Big brother, teach him a lesson. Let him know how powerful you are. "
The leader glared and scolded, "Shut up! We're doing legitimate business, not hooligans who collect protection fees. As long as you pay the market fee, you are our guest. Unless, someone doesn't know what's good for them. "The second half of the sentence was said with a deeper meaning.
"Market fee? This is the first time I've heard of it. This name is quite good. "The fortune-teller nodded," How do you collect the market fee? "
The leader said, "Ten taels per fortune. This business of yours is earning money quickly. I don't collect much, just one hundred taels per month. You can make this money by telling the fortunes of ten people. My fee is quite reasonable! "
The surrounding people sucked in a breath of cold air. One hundred taels of silver, many of them would never see so much money in their lifetime.
The fortune-teller's expression was calm as he continued, "It is very reasonable. But, "he raised his eyebrows," what if I don't pay? "
"Don't pay? As long as you step into this market, you have to pay me a month's worth of money. If you don't have money, you can go to the South Wind Restaurant and be a rabbit master to repay me. " The leader sized up the fortune-teller and said, "With your good looks, I'm sure you'll be able to pay me back soon."
The fortune-teller's eyes flashed and he suddenly smiled, "There are ten of you. How about I tell each of your fortunes to pay the market fee?"
He slowly straightened his body. The red light sprinkled on his smooth jade face, revealing a layer of frost, "It is said that birds of a feather flock together. People are the same. Looking at everyone's face, it is the same. Everyone's face is dark and gloomy, and there is a faint trace of blood. This is a sign of a bloody disaster. I advise everyone to go home as soon as possible. It is best if you don't go out for a few days to avoid disaster. "
"Nonsense! You dare to curse me!? "
The leader's face turned green with anger. He didn't believe that this fortune-teller had any real ability. He only felt that this fortune-teller relied on his face to swindle people. Now that he saw him cursing him like this, it was simply stepping on his face. How could he not be angry?
He sneered and raised his head to shout, "Brothers, tear down the stall! Take this rabbit master away! "
"Yes." The person behind him replied with a hint of excitement in his voice.
Although these people liked women, when they met beautiful women, they didn't have any qualms about it. This fortune-teller was even better looking than the tofu beauties on the streets. His skin was so delicate that it didn't seem like a man's. They often heard storytellers say that those high officials and nobles had homosexual interests, but they didn't understand at first. Men had rough skin and rough flesh, how could they compare to women's delicate skin? Now that they saw this fortune-teller, they understood that if all the men looked like this fortune-teller, they would also be willing to have homosexual interests. It was just that this fortune-teller hadn't been sold for a good price yet. Perhaps the boss wasn't willing to let them have a taste, but now it was no problem to take advantage of this opportunity.
Thinking of this, they couldn't wait to rush forward, ready to kick the table and grab the fortune-teller to have a good time.
Whoosh whoosh — —
A few weak sounds broke through the air. The group of boorish men lost their balance and fell straight forward. Their faces hit the ground or the edge of the table. Suddenly, there were continuous screams and wails. Some people raised their heads. Their noses and mouths were full of blood. Not to mention the tears flowing down, in their wide open mouths, two of their front teeth were faintly visible. The situation was very embarrassing.
The leader was stunned. In just a moment, the people he brought were all covered in blood and fell to the ground.
"What did I say?" The fortune-teller smiled and said slowly, "I said that it was not good to go out when there was a bloody disaster. I told you to go home quickly, but you didn't listen. Hasn't it come true now? "
It was just that this was too strange. They had never heard of a bloody disaster coming true right after the words were said.
The leader looked suspiciously at the fortune-teller several times. His heart hardened. He gritted his teeth and said, "This master doesn't believe in this evil!" He suddenly pulled out a steel knife from his waist. With a cold flash, the blade chopped towards the fortune-teller's head. "This master wants to see if you see blood first or this master sees blood first!"
The surrounding people cried out in alarm. Seeing that the fortune-teller's blood was about to splash under the knife, they closed their eyes and couldn't bear to watch.
"Clang!" "Bang!" A strange sound entered their ears, but there were no screams. Everyone carefully opened half of their eyes. When they saw the situation in front of them, they immediately opened their eyes in shock.
It turned out that when they closed their eyes, the leader had somehow hit the table. At the same time the table shattered, the leader fell to the ground with blood all over his head. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive. Beside him, the two pieces of the steel knife glowed strangely under the sunlight.
Everyone felt pity in their hearts. They had already been pressured by the high market fees to the point that they couldn't breathe. Now that such a satisfying scene had been missed by them, they wanted to slap themselves in the face. Why did they close their eyes for no reason! They really had no guts!
Everyone looked at the fortune-teller who had been calm the entire time. They couldn't help but admire him in their hearts.
The fortune-teller slowly stood up. He leisurely flicked his sleeve and lightly sighed, "It was a good table. It really is a pity."
After he finished speaking, he ignored the group of boorish men who were sitting or lying on the ground and walked away.
The group of men were also afraid of the fortune-teller's evil spirit. Even if they had the ability to stop him, they didn't dare to do so. They were afraid that their faces would have more holes. They simply continued to howl in grief. If they were questioned in the future, they would have an excuse.
The fortune-teller didn't walk far before the kind old woman quietly walked up to him. She softly said, "You've caused a big disaster. The leader was called Master Liu. He was originally a street hoodlum. It was only because his sister became the concubine of the county magistrate and got a man in one fell swoop that he was able to ascend to the heavens. I heard that his sister is favored by the county magistrate. This Master Liu caused such a mess in front of your stall. His sister can't help but ask the county magistrate to skin you alive. Take advantage of the fact that the county magistrate still doesn't know about it. You should quickly leave this place tonight and find another place to make a living. "
The fortune-teller faintly smiled and cupped his hands. His voice was like a spring breeze brushing past one's ear. It was completely different from the coldness from before. "Many thanks for the reminder. However, the world is peaceful and prosperous. I believe that they won't dare to act recklessly. "
