Nanfeng District, Shunde.
There were many small restaurants on the road, and many diners were dining. I searched for a long time, and tried to scatter the soil several times, but in the end I didn't. After all, it was my first time, and although I was full of confidence before, I finally got here.
For a moment, I felt a little scared.
I was afraid that someone in uniform would pat me down from behind and ask me what I was doing.
Finally, after going round and round, I came to a small river. When I saw this small river, my eyes suddenly lit up and I had a plan in mind.
Shunde is a hometown of aquatic products, and the water resources here are very abundant. I thought at that time that if the green and white soil enters the river, it will turn into mud, and no one will be able to find it.
Seeing that there was no one around, I quickly unpacked my backpack and prepared to pour soil into the river.
"Wait! Stop!"
"What are you doing!"
Suddenly there was a clear shout from behind, which scared me so much that I almost fell into the river.
Turning around in fear, I saw a girl pinching my waist and pointing at me.
The girl was wearing a school uniform with a ponytail, her face was flushed, and she had a red patch on her arm, with the words "river cleaning" written on it.
"It's just you! What are you looking at? What did you want to throw into the river just now? Are you planning to throw away garbage?"
The zipper of the backpack was not yet opened, so I suddenly panicked and hurriedly waved my hands and said, "No...no, I didn't throw out the trash."
"Nonsense! I've seen it, what's in your bag! Let me see!" She said loudly and walked towards me.
When I saw her coming, I was scared out of my wits. I was also very excited at the time, so I picked up my schoolbag and started running.
"Stop boy!"
She followed me closely, and we started running along the moat.
While running, my foot slipped and I fell directly into the moat...
The green and white soil in the bag sank to the bottom as soon as it touched water. I didn't know how to drink water, so I started flopping around. I drank several mouthfuls of river water and shouted for help.
Later, this girl saved me.
The girl's name is Li Jing, a native of Shunde. She was a sophomore in Shunde No. 3 Middle School at the time. She was working for her mother that day, and her mother was responsible for garbage management on the moat surface.
After being rescued, I was as wet as a drowned rat, but I was secretly relieved because my bag of green and white soil fell away and no one was caught.
In order to save me, the girl's clothes were soaked. She grabbed my clothes and asked me: "Why are you running? You can't even drink water. You don't want your life! What's in your bag?"
I blushed and said, "I just slipped and accidentally fell into the river. My bag contains books. If they are gone, they are gone. Just buy them."
She looked me up and down doubtfully, obviously not believing what I said.
"I think there's something wrong with you, kid. There's always been an electric fish nearby these two days. You have to go with me to see my mother. My mother says you can leave."
"Let's go!" After she finished speaking, she grabbed my clothes and walked forward.
I waved my hands desperately and explained loudly: "I am not an electric fish, I am not an electric fish."
But I definitely can’t tell the truth. If I say that I am a tomb robber, that would be even worse. It would be a worse crime than an electric fish.
During this period, I wanted to run away several times, but in the end I didn't dare to run away. I knew that if I ran away, given this girl's serious character, our entire gang might be implicated.
Li Jing's house was right next to the moat. At that time, there was an overpass on the river, and you had to cross that overpass to get to his house.
There are several stalls on the bridge, some selling children's toys, some selling insoles and socks, and one stall that is very eye-catching, it is a fortune-telling stall.
At that time, the fortune teller was in his fifties. He wore round sunglasses and had a hard-packed Honghe bag worth five yuan in his hand. He never left his cigarette, and he would refill one before he finished smoking one.
"Wow! Xiao Li Jing is more capable than your mother. Did you catch another one stealing the garbage?" the fortune teller said with a smile while sitting on the horse.
The girl Li Jing was praised, and she said with some pride on her face: "Li Banxian, that's right. This kid ran away when he saw me and fell into the river. I suspect this kid is an electric fisherman."
The fortune teller puffed out smoke and puffed out smoke, almost covering himself.
"Ah, electric fish, this is not good, young man. People with electric fish have bad luck and will be punished."
The girl Li Jing chuckled and said: "Li Laoliu, I just called you Li Banxian. You really think you are a half-xian. It made me laugh. The last time you told Aunt Li, you said Aunt Li raised her at home."
The pig will be able to conceive the piglet within one month, but what happened? Aunt Li’s pig died of diarrhea on the third day! Where is the piglet?”
"Ahem..." The fortune teller coughed twice and said, "That's because the pig has bad luck. Don't blame me for my inaccurate calculation. If you don't believe it, how about I tell you a fortune?"
The girl immediately bent over with laughter. She pointed at the fortune teller and said, "No, I don't dare to ask you to do the calculation. You must not have been in business for several days. If you want to do the calculation, do it for him. Do it for me."
Is it an electric fish?" The girl suddenly pointed at me.
I didn't know why at that time, but I just muddleheadedly asked him to tell my fortune.
The fortune teller first asked me my birth date, and then he took out a turtle shell. Inside the turtle shell were three Qianlong Tongbao copper coins.
He shook it up and down a few times, and then the three copper coins fell out of the turtle shell and onto the table.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or not, but the three copper coins scattered by the turtle shell are all on the back, and two of them are stacked on top of each other. The other one is lying alone on the side. The coins are a little far apart from each other.
The impression was very profound. The playful smile on the fortune teller's face disappeared. He looked at the three copper coins in a daze. He kept looking at them for a long time, and the Honghe cigarette in his hand was burned to the butt of the cigarette.
After reacting, he looked at Xiao Li Jing and then at me, sighing and shaking his head.
The girl smiled and asked: "Li Laoliu, tell me what you have figured out and whether this guy is an electric fisherman."
The fortune teller lit another cigarette and took a deep breath. He looked at me and said meaningfully: "Young man, it's not simple..."
There was something wrong in my mind, so I carefully asked him what he saw.
He chuckled and said: "The water is deep but the pond is shallow. There are many tortoises in the shallow pool. You are the most valuable tortoise in the pool, but you cannot escape the final fate. You are slaughtered and made into a bowl of turtle soup."
I was really angry when I heard this person say that I was a turtle bastard.
Now I'm thinking about his words.
It can be said that every word is precious...
Later, I came back once, but I never found this fortune teller again. After asking around, some people said that he smoked too much and got lung cancer two years ago. He died of the disease because he had no money for chemotherapy. Others said that this man left Shunde.
Don't know where it went.
If I could still see him now, I would pay millions of dollars to ask this gentleman to tell my fortune.
I wonder if Xiang Yunfeng can still have a family.
Figure out where I should go from here.
