The boss was beaten until he was dying, and his whole body was in so much pain that he could not move. He could only weakly shout for help. After a long time, someone finally passed by and kindly sent him to the hospital. When he returned home, it was already midnight.
.
However, when he wanted to talk to his brother and complain, he saw that his brother had also been beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
The boss is confused. Is this an evil act?
The two brothers explained the cause and effect to each other, and then they realized that the situation was the same. They both picked up money but were beaten.
The second child was even worse. After leaving Gushu Hutong, before he could find the so-called source of wealth, he picked up the money bag first. The second child thought that the money bag was his source of wealth, but who knew that it would be a disaster.
At this time, the two brothers belatedly remembered the reminder of the girl in Gushu Alley.
The boss was filled with regret, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have been greedy for that little money. I just signed a long-term job and got injured. I won't get better in two or three months. It's all in vain."
The second child was very upset, "Since we knew that we were in such a disaster, why didn't we warn us? I just said don't take money from unknown sources. What I picked up was mine. How come it was from unknown sources?"
I have to steal or rob, so why not pick up the money? Damn it, he must have deliberately harmed us."
The boss didn’t want to cause trouble, not to mention the remark was blasphemous to the master. If the master “knows” and blames them, it would be even worse than the gain, so he advised: “This matter is our fault, and we only have ourselves to blame for being greedy.
"
The second child didn't think so. He lay on the bed and sulked alone. After a while, he suddenly remembered something else, "Are we going to give them money tomorrow?"
These words reminded the boss that luckily the money earned by the coolies was still there today, and he said: "Of course I have to give it to you."
"No, it can't be given. We are so seriously injured that we can't even get enough treatment. Why should we give them 40%?" The second child was very angry.
"You can't say that..." Although the boss cares about Qian, he is also afraid of the other party's power. After this experience, he has no doubt about the ability of the family in Gushu Hutong. How can he have the courage to deal with such a group of people?
Go and cheat.
"You have seen how powerful they are. We cannot afford to offend such people. They can bring us good fortune today and bad luck tomorrow. No one can offend these people."
The second child felt a little scared after being reminded like this, but he couldn't swallow it. He thought for a while and said:
"Okay, you go and give the money tomorrow. I didn't get the money anyway, so I don't have to give it to them. My whole body hurts and I don't want to walk such a long way."
The boss agreed.
The next day, Qingyu's family was having lunch, and one of the brothers who came to tell fortunes yesterday came limping on crutches.
When Hongtao saw this, she was quite gloating. She must have looked at her young age and didn't take what she said seriously: "This is called not listening to the old man's words, and you will suffer the consequences in front of you. I reminded you, but you have made yourself look like this.
, you are really capable."
The boss blushed with embarrassment and was too embarrassed to say what happened. He just said that he accidentally dropped it, and then held up fifty-three copper coins. "I got a job as a helper at the dock yesterday and earned one hundred and thirty-two copper coins."
"
Qingyu put down the bowl and chopsticks to take the money, without ordering it, and threw it all into the small basket containing the money.
The eldest brother explained: "My brother...he fell more seriously along the way with me and couldn't make any money..."
"It's okay." Qingyu smiled slightly and sat back down.
Seeing that he was so easy to talk to, the boss felt relieved a lot. After thanking him again and again, he limped away again.
After dinner, Zhufeng put the two sails he had just made into the alley. One of them said that the minor illness could not be cured, and the other said that he had seen a doctor, told fortunes and fortune telling, and opened and closed at all times. These people are always uncertain when they come to the door.
It's time to set a rule.
It was just after lunch, and people began to queue up one after another. Zhufeng just explained to these people, and asked them to inform the latecomers, so as to avoid the situation of being surrounded by people in the previous few days.
In the afternoon, there were still many people coming to see the doctor and have their fortunes told, including those seeking wealth, marriage, and children.
However, after Hongtao sent away the fifth guest who asked about wealth, he finally couldn't help but feel confused, "Strange, what happened these past two days? Why are all the people who came to ask about wealth doing something wrong?"
Qingyu counted the money and said calmly: "It's not them who are the villain, it's us."
"What do you mean by this?" Hong Tao asked. Others came over to listen.
Qingyu pursed her lips towards the black green wall in front of the courtyard dam, and several people understood immediately.
"What should we do now? Can we open today?"
Qingyu smiled helplessly: "Even if you don't open it, this disaster will come to your door."
The so-called disaster appeared on the third day.
Early that morning, Zhufeng wanted to go to the county governor's house to give Pan Chenggui the third injection. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded by a group of people just as he walked out of the alley.
Zhufeng all looked familiar to this group of people. He was the one who had asked about his fortune in the past few days. Seeing that all of them had bruises on their noses and swollen faces, Zhufeng instantly understood what was going on.
The crowd all recognized Zhufeng and started shouting. One of them was carried by two people and came to Zhufeng.
This man was wrapped into a rice dumpling and could hardly even speak. One of the two people carrying him pointed at Zhufeng and cried, "You have done a lot of harm to people. My father only asked you to tell fortunes, and he suffered such a misfortune."
.
Now that my dad is like this, the doctor said it’s unclear whether he can survive the winter. What do you think is going to happen?"
A large number of people gathered in the alley, some were injured, some were family members, and the noise finally woke up the old tree alley. Every household opened the door to look. From the few words of those people, I could understand what happened.
.
The thing is very simple. Those injured people originally only came to tell their fortunes, but instead they suffered unreasonable disasters.
"You're not telling people's fortunes. They're obviously telling people's lives. You didn't make any money, but people got involved. Why are you so dark-hearted?" someone complained and cursed.
"I think you are the one with a dark heart. You have such a foul mouth, you must have a malignant sore in your heart."
The crowd followed the sound and looked over. It was a bald man standing in front of his house, but his words were to defend Qingyu's family.
His words immediately aroused public anger, and everyone was chirping and scolding each other. After a while, it turned into a fierce battle between the entire Gushu Alley and this group of outsiders.
As for the person involved, Zhufeng, he had already gone home when he saw that the situation was not going well.
At that time, Pan Ming, who was waiting for Zhufeng to come to perform acupuncture at the county magistrate's house, did not know about Qingyu's family. He was immersed in medical books. Recently, he felt more and more that the more he read, the more interesting the medical skills became.
They all forgot about food and sleep.
"The young master is so diligent and eager to learn, and as a teacher...haha, the common people are really happy."
Pan Ming put down the medical book, exchanged hands with Pi San, and asked curiously: "Sir, are you going out in this outfit?"
