The young servant who was beaten to death was found in the warehouse of the boat shop. When he was discovered, he vomited blood and was no longer aware of it. In addition, he had no other traces.

The rest of the boat shop saw it and didn't care too much. After all, this kind of thing happened many times. It might be because of offending a wealthy master. It was a great blessing to be able to save a life if you were sent by a person.

The life of the servant in the raid is even cheaper than the life of the woman in the raid. If you beat him to death, you will only pay two silver at most.

But the investigation still needs to be investigated. After all, it is half a life, but it can only be considered a matter of investigation. If any wealthy master is really involved, this strict investigation will ruin the friendship. It is not worth being for a servant.

After that, there were still young servants who asked Lao Cao to do things, but they were just doing things. They left after they were done, and there was no beating or scolding.

The two of them guarded the pavilion. Most of the day were bored. When Lao Cao didn't do anything, they looked at the small ones with big eyes.

Chen Jiuxian couldn't help it, so he touched a chessboard from somewhere, placed it in the pavilion, waved his hand forward, made a gesture of asking for help, and then looked at Lao Caodao who was ignorant of the big words.

"Please play games!"

The old man scratched his head and stared at Chen Jiu blankly, not knowing what he was doing.

So that afternoon, Chen Jiu was teaching Lao Cao to play chess step by step. At first, he taught Go slowly, but Lao Cao really didn't understand. The small eyes sandwiched in wrinkles looked at Chen Jiu in confusion.

So Chen Jiu simply waved his hand and changed his training to Goji.

This is simple. It’s just five points to connect to the front line. Lao Cao also learned quickly. The two of them fought fiercely in less than half a day.

Chen Jiu is a veritable chess chess player. When he got it, he often regretted the chess. He said it was wrong or not, so I asked me to think about it again.

Lao Cao just smiled silly and let Chen Jiuhui chess.

At the most outrageous time, Chen Jiu regretted two steps at once, so the two of them played this game all night, and in the end, Chen Jiu won the bad chess game.

He wiped the sweat that did not exist on his forehead and sighed: "It's a big win, a big win, it's really a match for the opponent!"

Lao Cao just smiled with a smile on his teeth, and took a sip of the wine he had stored around him that he was reluctant to drink.

The two of them squatted in the pavilion every day, playing chess if they had anything to do. Later, they got annoyed Chen Jiu, moved the chessboard and began to ask Lao Cao about the charming things in the brothel.

Which woman has the best appearance and the best figure?

The old man just shook his head and kept silent, but he couldn't help but keep Chen Jiu beating him hard. Old Cao had to drink a little wine and stammered and spoke slowly.

Chen Jiu listened with relish and nodded frequently.

The old man only talked about some ordinary women in the brothel, those with high status, did not dare to say it.

In the next few days, the two of them couldn't find anything to do, so Chen Jiu often took Lao Cao to jump into the Huai River to take a bath at dusk.

Although the old man is short, he is agile and he is the most skillful in running errands on weekdays. The dog paddle in the Huai River made Chen Jiu look so stunned. I didn’t expect that how could a dog paddle swim so quickly?

The two of them are looking for something to do all day long.

As the end of the month approached, Chen Jiu might be really bored and began to erect a boxing stance. Often in the early morning or at dusk, he beat the Huai River all the way along the banks of the Huai River. When he hit the end of the yard, he then erected a boxing stance and returned.

Lao Cao was drinking a little wine beside him, looking at the sunset in the Huai River, and grinning.

One evening, Chen Jiu was practicing boxing while walking, suddenly stopped and inexplicably punched a few punches towards the sky.

Lao Cao was puzzled and asked softly: "What's the matter?"

Chen Jiu was silent for a while, smiled, and pointed to the extremely bright full moon in the sky, "I want to knock down that thing."

Lao Cao was stunned, not knowing how to reply.

After this month, the salary was paid by the tramp. Chen Jiu and Lao Cao took four taels of silver together. Chen Jiu insisted on half of the money, but Lao Cao couldn't fight it, so he only had two taels of silver for one person.

With money, it’s different. It’s said that money is a man’s courage. Chen Jiu’s courage came up all at once. He ran to the shop in the city that day and had to pull Lao Cao together.

The old man waved his hand and said he wanted to guard the pavilion and could not go.

Chen Jiu had no choice but to go to the center of the city alone, and there were many shops in the city.

Chen Jiu first bought a bottle of good wine. Thinking that he and Lao Cao were both by the Huai River, he bought two more fishing rods. He also thought that after catching the fish, he had to do it himself.

I have to buy pots, pans, salt, vinegar and spicy sauce.

After buying it all the way, Chen Jiu didn't have much money left. Fortunately, he had nothing to buy, so he just walked around with his things. He went wherever he looked strange.

On the edge of the wine shop at the entrance of the city, there is a fortune teller standing in the stall.

Chen Jiu was quite interested in this, so he ran over and sat down straight.

The fortune teller was a middle-aged man wearing an unknown Taoist robe. Fortunately, the Taoist robe does not pursue the matter of Taoist robe, so the Taoist robe in the world can be worn casually regardless of whether you are a Taoist or not.

The fortune teller tapped the table with his hand and asked, "What are you?"

When Chen Jiu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and thought about it carefully, and always felt that he was at a disadvantage, so he asked back: "What are you?"

Now it was the fortune teller's turn to be stunned.

He slowed down and changed his words, "What do you want to do?"

There is no ambiguity in this.

Chen Jiu scratched his head, "There is nothing to count."

The fortune teller was speechless.

Why do you have nothing to do with me?

Chen Jiu thought about it again, suddenly lowered his head and asked in a low voice: "Master, can you touch the young girl's little hands at will if you put this fortune teller?"

The fortune teller was stunned for a while, sighed and explained, "That's called looking at palms, and you don't need to touch your hands when looking at palms."

Chen Jiu became interested, "How can I touch my hands?"

The fortune teller patiently explained: "I am just a general test of my fortune and can't touch my hands."

Chen Jiu didn't give up, "Then I just want to touch it?"

The fortune teller lifted the bench under his butt, "It doesn't matter to me if you want to touch it, just touch it."

Chen Jiu asked in confusion: "Aren't you touching the girl's wrists and helping her test?"

The fortune teller frowned and replied patiently: "That's the doctor taking the pulse, not the palmistry."

Chen Jiu looked disappointed, "Oh, this is too boring."

After a while, he suddenly asked the fortune teller, "Do you know how the doctor touches the girl's hands?"

The fortune teller suddenly lifted the bench under his butt, raised it high, and said angrily to Chen Jiu: "Are you fucking over? Do you count it?!"

Seeing that he was anxious, Chen Jiu waved his hand quickly, "Do it."

The fortune teller then stopped his temper, sat down again, and said with a stern face: "What do you want to do?"

Chen Jiu stood in his head, "Just count on anything."

The fortune teller was speechless, so he had to pick up a bunch of bamboo sticks and hand them to Chen Jiu, "Then calculate your next fortune."

Chen Jiu frowned, "Is this too casual?"

The fortune teller's face turned black.

Chen Jiu had no choice but to take the bamboo sticks and shake them as they were asking for the lottery. After shaking them a few times, the two bamboo sticks fell one after another.

Chen Jiu picked up the first one first, and the shocking word "疗" was written in red ink.

Chen Jiu smiled and comforted himself, "It's okay, there will be blessings after the disaster, and you won't be afraid."

He picked up another bamboo stick, and it was indeed different from this one, with two words on it.

Very bad!

An exclamation mark was also added.

Chen Jiu held two bamboo sticks in his hand, looked carefully, and then looked at the fortune teller with a sad face, "Master Taoist, are your signature effective?"

The fortune teller didn't expect Chen Jiu to be so bad. He was stunned for a while and hesitated: "It should...it's still...it's pretty."

Chen Jiu put the bamboo stick back, "Master, can you shake it again? I don't want to receive the prize this time."

The fortune teller waved his hand, "It won't work if you do it again."

Chen Jiu could only return the bamboo stick listlessly, "Okay."

His fortune teller was not easy to disturb him when he was in a dismay, so he just waited for him to walk away. The fortune teller collected the bamboo sticks and shook his head, "Unlucky child."

After a while, he was suddenly stunned.

Didn't this kid give money?

After a moment of silence, the fortune teller chuckled and shook his head.

Forget it, just a little cause and effect.

—————

In the evening and dusk, at the small pavilion.

Chen Jiu stepped into the pavilion in a daze and began to yell.

"Old Cao, I'm almost dead!"

The old man's face was confused. Why did he suddenly die if he was alone?

After asking the reason, the old man comforted Chen Jiu, who was frustrated, "Fortune telling in the city are all half-baked Yin and Yang gentlemen. They have no ability and are not very skilled, so don't worry."
