Chapter 22 The Quack

Chapter 22 Charlatan

Han Bin was stunned for a moment. He was only a thirteen-year-old child. How could he not die soon? This was nonsense!

Could it be that this fortune teller was referring to being chased, but Lu Yang couldn't think of anything right in the blink of an eye! Now that he has escaped here, no matter how powerful Lu Tao is, as long as all the guards of the Lu family are not mobilized, there is no way to chase him.

Here. If those people are really mobilized, it must be approved by the head of the Lu family and the elders. I believe that his father will not pursue him. After all, as the saying goes, a tiger's poison cannot eat its seeds.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lu Yang no longer believed what the other party said, and said: "Sir, you said you are about to die soon. Can you tell me the reason?"

Su Langzhong nodded and said: "You are weak and have a stubborn disease, so your life will not be long."

Lu Yang frowned and couldn't help but ask: "Are you a fortune teller or a charlatan?"

"I am both a fortune teller and a charlatan." Su Langzhong laughed and said, "There is no conflict between these two professions. Can't we learn two skills of traveling in the world at the same time? To tell you the truth, I am a charlatan.

Healing people and telling fortunes are just my second profession, which is also my side job, do you understand me?"

Lu Yang naturally understood, but he felt that the other party was a bit unreliable, so he said: "Sir, I don't think I'm sick. If nothing happens, I'll leave first." Of course he knew his physical condition, and he ate well and slept well every day.

Okay, what kind of illness is there? Even if an immortal said this to him now, Lu Yang wouldn't believe it.

Seeing that Lu Yang couldn't listen, Dr. Su said again: "Lu Yang, right? You are covered with dark clouds, your hall is dark, and you have a dead look on your face. Something is very wrong!"

Lu Yang was already in a bad mood. The other person said these words one after another, which made him laugh angrily and said: "Since sir is so good at telling fortunes, why don't you do it for me!"

Dr. Su was silent for a while and said: "Do you want to tell fortunes or cure chronic diseases?"

"Can't these two be together?" Lu Yang asked.

Su Langzhong shook his head and said solemnly: "Of course we can't do it together. Curing stubborn illnesses can help you live, and fortune telling can change your future destiny. Do you think the same?"

Lu Yang believed that the other party was a liar and didn't take his words to heart at all, so he said: "It doesn't matter if it's the same or not, just tell my fortune first!"

Su Langzhong said: "Are you sure you want me to tell your fortune first?"

"I'm sure." Lu Yang replied, he wanted to see what the other party could figure out.

Su Langzhong did not tell the fortune immediately, but touched the money bag at his waist and said: "Fortune-telling has a fortune-telling price, and healing a stubborn illness has a price. The prices are different, and the rewards are also different. Under normal circumstances,

It costs five copper coins to cure stubborn diseases and three gold coins to tell fortunes. Do you understand?"

Lu Yang's eyes widened, he glanced at Su Langzhong with unconfidence, and said in surprise: "What did you say? Fortune telling costs three gold coins, are you trying to steal money?"

Su Langzhong waved his hand and said: "No, no, how can I be robbing you? Think about it, fortune telling can tell your future good and bad luck. If you prepare in advance, you can change your future destiny.

What a cost-effective thing. As the saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold cannot buy you a wishful life. These three gold coins are really not expensive, they are really not expensive!"

Not to mention that Lu Yang was now penniless and couldn't afford three gold coins. Even for ordinary people, this was a sky-high price.

The cost of living for an ordinary person for a year is only one silver coin, and three gold coins are enough for a family of three to live for more than ten years.

At this moment, Lu Yang felt that the other party was a big liar, and said coldly: "I have no money at all, do you think I can come up with so many gold coins?"

Su Langzhong nodded and said: "I know you have no money. The reason why I came to you just now is because I think you and I are destined, and I want to tell your fortune for free. What do you think?"

Lu Yang had never liked taking advantage of others since he was a child, so he immediately refused: "No, I'm not sick, and I don't need fortune telling, so let's just say goodbye." With that, he turned and left.

However, Lu Yang had just taken a few steps when Su Langzhong sighed again from behind him, "Although your heaven is plump, your eyebrows are thick and dense. It's obvious that both of your parents are no longer around..."

Hearing this, Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat, stopped, and said in a cold voice: "Sir, I don't know if you really calculated anything, but I must tell you that a real fortune teller will not only tell stories like you.

Come to fool people." When he was talking to the bun shop clerk just now, he had already mentioned that his parents were away, so he naturally thought that Su Langzhong found him after overhearing.

Su Langzhong was not angry and continued: "Is it just hearsay? If you ask me to count it once, I will know."

Lu Yang snorted coldly, but still turned around, looked at Su Langzhong and said, "Okay, I'll let you count it once. If you can't count it correctly, your sign will be destroyed in front of me. Do you dare?"

"Why don't you dare?" Su Langzhong said nonchalantly, "I wonder if you want me to tell fortunes or cure stubborn illnesses?"

Lu Yang is not a fool. The guy just called him Dr. Su, and he spoke in a very respectful tone. It was obvious that he was a doctor and had good medical skills. This was the first time Lu Yang heard that doctors can also tell fortunes. Adding to what he just said,

He believed that the other party was a big liar, so he said: "Tell me my fortune, even if my parents are not around at any time."

When Lu Yang spoke, he deliberately emphasized the words mother and parents.

Su Langzhong looked at Lu Yang's heaven for a while, then raised his right hand, pinched his fingers, and said, "Your father is still alive."

Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat. He obviously didn't expect that the other party would say such a thing. He said coldly: "You just said that my parents are not here, and now you say that my father is still alive. What do you mean?"

Su Langzhong touched the beard on his chin and said: "I just said that your parents are no longer alive. It did not mean that they are no longer alive, but that they are no longer with you. If my guess is correct, your father's identity is extraordinary and he has the same identity as your mother.

There is a big gap, because of some reasons, you left him, right?"

A look of surprise flashed through Lu Yang's eyes. Although the other party didn't tell the details, it was indeed what happened. He asked again: "Then, where is my mother?"

"Your mother is no longer alive." Su Langzhong replied.

Lu Yang's face darkened and he said angrily: "You're talking nonsense."

"Whether I'm talking nonsense, you naturally know in your heart." Su Langzhong said calmly, "You can deceive others, but you can't deceive yourself. If you are unwilling to face reality, you can smash this sign at any time." As he said, he

He handed the banner hexagram in front of Lu Yang, indicating that Lu Yang could take it and destroy it.

Lu Yang didn't answer. He clenched his fists and said, "Tell me, when was my mother gone?"

"The secret must not be revealed, but I can tell you that she went to save you." Su Langzhong seemed to have truly penetrated the sky and revealed the secret in Lu Yang's heart with one sentence.

Lu Yang was really convinced. He didn't expect that the other party could really figure out these things. He cupped his fists and said, "Sir, I wrongly blamed you just now. I'm sorry." After saying that, he bent down and saluted.

Su Langzhong sighed and said: "You are a child with a hard life, and now you have a stubborn disease. Since I have encountered it, I should help you once, but you are too stubborn. Alas! I don't know how long you can live, and whether you still have filial piety.

..." He didn't finish what he said, but his words seemed to remind Lu Yang.

These words were like needles piercing Lu Yang's heart, making him extremely uncomfortable. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, if I don't treat my stubborn illness, am I really not going to be able to live much longer?"

Su Langzhong nodded and said with unusual certainty: "Yes, you can't do anything with your body. Even if you want to practice martial arts, you can't reach a very high level."

"Practice martial arts and take revenge." These two words suddenly appeared in Lu Yang's mind. He took a deep breath, as if he had made a big decision, and clasped his fists and said, "Sir, you just said you were willing to help me once. I don't know.

Does it still count now?”

"Of course." Su Langzhong said, "I can help you, but there is a requirement."

"What request?" Lu Yang has already thought about it. As long as it doesn't violate his principles, he will agree to even a hundred requests, let alone one.

Su Langzhong was silent for a while and then said: "I am planning to stay in Tianyang Town for a while recently. There are many precious medicinal materials in the nearby mountains. It is too dangerous for me to go up the mountain to collect medicines alone. I would like to find a nominal apprentice. If you are willing

Follow me and I can help you treat your illness and teach you medical skills at the same time."

For others, this would be a great good thing, but Lu Yang's heart was not in learning medical skills.

Lu Yang refused without thinking, "Sir, I'm afraid I can't learn medical skills from you. Since you figured out that my mother is gone, you should know that I want to avenge my mother. After I recover from my illness, I must practice martial arts.

Do you think this is okay? Three years, I will only stay here for three years, and you can’t stop me from leaving after three years, how about it?”

Disappointment flashed through Dr. Su's eyes, but he didn't say anything. He nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you, but you must learn medical skills from me within these three years."

"I can promise you." Lu Yang was not interested in medical skills, but he didn't reject it either, so he nodded and agreed.

Su Langzhong took Lu Yang back to the bun shop. When the waiter saw Lu Yang coming, he hurriedly ran over and said, "Su Langzhong, what are you?" He glanced at Lu Yang.

Su Langzhong smiled slightly and said: "Didn't I always accept apprentices during this period? No, I just took a liking to a good boy, so I accepted him."

A look of surprise flashed through the clerk's eyes, and then he glanced at Lu Yang with envy and said, "Little brother, you are so lucky! Dr. Su is a living god in our neighborhood. He only treats diseases that have not appeared yet.

A chronic disease that cannot be cured. Many people in our town want to learn medicine, but Dr. Su says our qualifications are too poor, ugh!"

The waiter said, prepared a few cages of steamed buns for the two of them, and left.

Lu Yang was so hungry that he picked up a bun and ate it. When he was almost done eating, he said: "Sir, no, I should call you master." After saying that, he knelt down to perform the master-disciple ceremony.

Mr. Su quickly stopped him and waved his hand: "No, you and I are destined, so there is no need to perform the master-disciple ceremony. If you don't mind, just call me Grandpa Su from now on!"

Seeing that Su Langzhong insisted, Lu Yang stopped talking and suddenly thought of something, and said again: "Grandpa Su, the little brother just said that you require a person's qualifications to accept a disciple. How do you know that I have good qualifications?"

Mr. Su laughed and boasted, "Don't forget, I am a fortune teller. There is nothing in the world that I don't know about."
