Chapter 20 Character Test (Please,
"Brother Chu" came out again. Fortunately, this call was not from Zhu Jun. Chu Boyang turned around and it was indeed Zhou Sutao who called him.
Zhou Sutao, on the other hand, seemed to have committed a crime and was being chased. If he hadn't run in such a hurry, even if the Zhou family's old house was quite deep and the journey was quite long, he wouldn't be sweating all over his head.
So after Chu Boyang saw Zhou Su Tao, he quickly stood up and greeted him: "Su Tao, what's the matter?" After asking, Zhou Su Tao was already in front of him.
Zhou Sutao gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, and of course her words followed her actions: "Brother Chu, everyone in the village wants to meet you, and now you are blocking the door of our house and refusing to leave!"
Is this matter considered urgent? Chu Boyang did not think that this matter was urgent. Just when he was about to argue, Zhu Jun stood up, patted his chest and said, "What's wrong? Are people outside looking for my autograph? I sing very well."
!" After saying that, the person was about to walk out.
Chu Boyang didn't want to care about what happened when Zhu Jun came out, but he had to care about it, so he could only reach out and pull Zhu Jun's arm hard, preventing him from going out.
Zhou Sutao was much more relaxed than Chu Boyang. Except for the sweat on her forehead, she didn't need to worry about Zhu Jun at all, so she said directly: "My dad was afraid that the people in the village would be too enthusiastic and cause trouble, so he
Tell people outside that you have gone to town..."
"Why should I go to town?" Chu Boyang interrupted angrily before Zhou Sutao could finish speaking, but suddenly as he thought about it, his voice suddenly became urgent, "Why should I go to town?
"
Originally, I thought that when the new official arrived, how could Chu Boyang return to the town immediately after arriving in Yueyue Village for less than a day? It was unreasonable and unreasonable, but suddenly he thought about it again, and he wanted to find a chance to go back to the town just now.
Then he transferred to the county seat and went to the Chenghuang Temple to find the old man. Now there was an opportunity. In addition, Zhou Tao could defend himself. Why didn't he seize the opportunity? Of course, he quickly asked Zhou Tao what cover he had found for him.
Chu Boyang did say the same sentence twice, but the tone of the two times was completely different. Zhou Sutao could naturally recognize it, and she naturally followed the second question, so she answered: "In seven days."
, is my grandfather's taboo day. According to the rules of the clan, my uncle has to come back, and the people in the village also pay attention to it, so the excuse my dad made for you is that you went back to town to see my uncle, and you also went to set up taboos.
It’s something I need to use in the future!”
"Is this...is this a reason?" Chu Boyang didn't believe that such a reason could stop the villagers, at least if it were him, he wouldn't believe such a reason.
But Chu Boyang is not from Yueyue Village, nor is his surname Zhou. If his surname is Zhou, like Zhou Sutao, he obviously believes in this reason.
"Our family has the orthodox bloodline of the Zhou family. My grandfather's taboo day is on the same day as the ancestor worship ceremony. For our Zhou family, this is a big deal. My uncle is the oldest man in the Zhou family. Asking him to return to the village is a big deal.
!" Zhou Sutao was afraid that Chu Boyang wouldn't believe it, so she explained again and again, "My dad was originally going to ask you to invite your uncle back in a few days, but now he just moved the time forward!"
"But..." Chu Boyang suddenly hesitated again. Suddenly, he found that he seemed to have become stupid. Could it be that after staying with Zhu Jun for a while, Zhu Jun infected him with stupidity? In doubt, Chu Boyang
Couldn't help but look at Zhu Jun.
But Zhu Jun now seemed to be smarter than Chu Boyang. There was a trace of doubt in his eyes, staring at Chu Boyang, and urging anxiously: "Let's go? You can't miss the opportunity."
, it will never come back again!”
Chu Boyang didn't know the eight words "opportunities must not be missed, they will never come back". He did not hesitate anymore and answered Zhou Sutao in the first place: "Okay! I will take advantage of this reason to go back to the town now!"
After saying that, Chu Boyang walked away, but before he could take a step forward, he hesitated and turned around and asked Zhou Sutao: "Are all the people outside still here?"
"Everyone is here!" Zhou Sutao nodded and continued, "My dad asked me to take you out of the village. Zhang Laohan is already waiting at the entrance of the village with his donkey cart!"
After saying the same thing, Zhou Sutao took Chu Boyang's hand and without saying a word, took Chu Boyang and ran towards the backyard. Not to be outdone, Zhu Jun naturally followed the two of them and ran all the way.
Zhou Sutao was naturally the most familiar with the Zhou family's old house. She took Chu Boyang and Zhu Jun out through a broken door in the backyard, took three detours, and finally missed a large group of people from Yueyue Village who were vying to see Chu Boyang.
We arrived at the entrance of the village safe and sound.
Sure enough, there was a donkey cart waiting at the entrance of the village, and the driver was indeed an old man. I like old men wearing straw hats, and of course the old man was Zhang Laohan.
Although Zhang Laohan was old, he had good eyesight. He saw Zhou Sutao coming with Chu Boyang and Zhu Jun from a distance. Without saying a word, he waved his long whip and whipped the donkey forward. Of course, he went to meet the donkey.
Chu Boyang and others.
But when Zhang Laohan arrived in front of Chu Boyang and the others, he didn't say much, because as soon as the donkey cart stopped, Chu Boyang and Zhu Jun climbed onto the donkey cart, then shook their hands with Zhou Sutao vigorously, and sat Zhang Laohan
The donkey cart left.
Chu Boyang finally rode a donkey cart in his life, but the feeling of riding a donkey cart was not pleasant. He was just like running for his life. Naturally, it was uncomfortable to sit on anything. But when he returned to Changqing Town, his whole body felt uncomfortable.
But it seemed like it was brand new.
Chu Boyang just left this town yesterday, and today he is back again!
"Brother Chu, do you want to go to Sister Su Tao's uncle first, or go to the City God's Temple first?" Before taking a break, Zhu Jun asked Chu Boyang first.
Chu Boyang thought about it for a while, thinking that he had just left yesterday and came back today. It was not appropriate to go to Zhou Bin right away. Moreover, he also wanted to know if the old man who practiced Feng Shui in Chenghuang Temple was the old man he met at the station.
, so he directly said: "Go to the City God's Temple first!"
So the two of them stopped a motorcycle and negotiated for the motorcycle's master to drive them to Qingquan County.
Qingquan County was Chu Boyang's hometown, and there was almost no inch of land that he was unfamiliar with. So when he arrived in Qingquan County, Chu Boyang didn't ask for Zhu Jun's guidance. He didn't even return home and walked directly towards the City God's Temple.
Chu Boyang and the old man met for the first time at the station. They met after he sent Han Ruoxuan to the car. But the last time Chu Boyang went to the City God's Temple to buy Feng Shui equipment, he did not see the old man in the City God's Temple, and he did not even see anyone in the temple.
The Feng Shui practitioner couldn't figure out how Zhu Jun could meet an old man with Feng Shui.
Therefore, according to Chu Boyang's inference, the Feng Shui old man Zhu Jun mentioned was either located in one of those "high-end" shops, or had recently moved there.
But Chu Boyang never expected that a person who was clearly known as an expert in Feng Shui would set up a stall in the Chenghuang Temple instead of a Feng Shui stall, but another stall, a fortune-telling stall!
Zhu Jun brought Chu Boyang over to point out this stall. It was in a good location and not far from the stall that Luo Pan sold to Chu Boyang before. When he came over, Chu Boyang even said hello to the stall owner.
This stall is just a small table. The table is covered with a white cloth. On the white cloth is a stack of rice paper. There is a simple bamboo pen holder. Naturally, there are all kinds of pens in the pen holder. There is also a small flag leaning on the table.
I wrote eight words: "Three hexagrams every day, close as soon as they are full"!
There was actually someone sitting on the stall, an old man in white with white hair and a childlike face, exactly the same as when Chu Boyang first saw him!
Chu Boyang was already shocked. This old man setting up a stall here was the same old man who pointed out to him, "Yueyue Mountain, yin and yang change; moving north to south, fortune changes."
But the old man gently twirled the white beard under his chin, as if he had expected it, and looked at Chu Boyang with a smile. He was still smiling, but this time, Chu Boyang didn't feel it anymore.
The old man smiled raggedly.
"Please sit down!" The old man stretched out his hand to signal. There were chairs in front of the table, which were indeed prepared for those who came to tell fortunes.
Chu Boyang sat down. He originally had a lot to say, but at this time he really couldn't say a word, except for shock.
Zhu Jun was very honest at this time. He stood silently behind Chu Boyang, like an attendant, but he didn't seem to be Chu Boyang's attendant, but more like the old man's attendant. After all, his eyes looked right.
The respect of the elderly.
The old man opened his mouth and smiled, pointing to the white flag beside his table, and said: "There are three hexagrams every day, and they will be closed when they are full! Last time you came, I had closed the stall. This time you come, there is only one hexagram left."
Chu Boyang still didn't speak, but his eyes had already turned from the old man's body to the white flag. He recognized these eight characters. According to legend, when Dongfang Shuo, a strange man in the Western Han Dynasty, set up the "Oriental Divine Fortune" hexagram stall, the flag cloth was
He also wrote these eight characters, and his hexagram was even blamed on Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
The old man seemed to have guessed Chu Boyang's association with these eight words from Chu Boyang's eyes, and also knew that he associated Dongfang Shuo and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he said: "The emperor Wu's visit to Dongfang Shuo was not for fortune-telling, but for fortune-telling.
Do you want to take a calligraphy test too?"
Chu Boyang nodded. Although he still didn't know what he should say, and although his heartbeat was still very violent, he could still nod. He could measure words and tell his fortune in any way, as long as the calculation was accurate!
The old man smiled, as if nothing could make him lose the smile on his face. Although some people looked at this smile as mocking others, he still liked this smile.
The old man reached out and took out a piece of rice paper from the table, then pushed the pen holder in front of Chu Boyang and said, "Here, just one word is enough."
Chu Boyang glanced at the old man, then put his eyes on the rice paper, and then drifted to a pen in the pen holder. Finally, his eyes returned to the rice paper, but now he had the pen in his hand.
Look at the pen.
Chu Boyang opened the pen cap, closed his eyes, but kept writing one word on the paper: Zhang!
