So, one dark and windy night, Liu Ji, who had almost recovered after drinking a few doses of medicine, secretly woke up Liu Qi, left Wang Wu who was still sleeping, and ran away.
Liu Qi felt a heavy psychological burden. She wanted to return several times, but Liu Ji suppressed her and called her back as an elder.
Liu Jimaliao found a car and rented it. The two of them drove in an ox cart for two days. They were sure that Wang Wu could not catch up, so they had time to educate the young people.
"If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. To tell you the truth, I do still have some copper on me, but this amount of money is not enough for three people. Even you and me can barely do it."
“If you kid still wants to go home for the New Year, don't think about whether these things are available or not. If you have some free time, think seriously about how we can make money.”
Previously, it was because outside the customs, it was safer to go together with more people, but now everyone has entered the customs, everyone goes his own way, no one is delayed.
Liu Qi still felt bad and whispered: "Uncle Wang doesn't have a penny on him, and it's so cold now, how can he go back?"
“Then why did he say he had no money?” Liu Qi asked in confusion.
Liu Qi: Woo hoo hoo, I'm getting dirty!
Liu Ji's so-called resting outside the post house for a night was actually just a pretense of being a fortune teller. He walked into the lobby of the post house to fool the passing merchants. He drank a mouthful of wine and meat, and even coaxed the owner of the post house to allow him to stay in the lobby today. Make a floor inside.
"How do you know he doesn't have a penny?" Liu Ji asked.
Hitting his cold hands into his arms, he took out a large, oily chicken drumstick and ate it with restraint, one bite at a time. It was so beautiful that it was bubbling.
When a person fills his stomach, his energy and energy will rise, and he looks more like a Taoist priest.
Seeing that Liu Qi was still asking, Liu Ji was already impatient, "The oxcart will only take us here. Let's rest outside this post house tonight. Let's think about how to make money to buy food and walk home tomorrow."
The old man felt excited at first, and then relaxed again. He asked his servant to pour Liu Ji another cup of hot tea and asked the Taoist priest for advice.
Liu Qi was startled, "Does he have one?"
Liu Qi yelled, hugged his third uncle to keep him warm, rested his head on Liu Ji's back, and fell asleep.
Liu Ji shook his head and smiled, "Pindao just made a fortune. The hexagram shows that the master will encounter evil stars on his way north this time, but as long as he avoids them, he can turn the bad luck into good luck and have a smooth journey."
The old man immediately became nervous, "Does the Taoist think it's inappropriate?"
Liu Qi glanced at his uncle's arms and said, "Uncle, don't you still have some?"
As soon as the young man thought this, Liu Ji rolled his eyes and reminded him that we are both **** now.
Liu Ji knocked down his chestnut and said, "I spent all my money at once. How can I go back? I really want to beg for food all the way back?"
What shocked Liu Qi even more was that his uncle could actually tell fortunes. Liu Ji calmly deceived the old businessman in front of him, held up Liu Qi's chin with his backhand and asked him to close his mouth, touched his wildly grown stubble, squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then let out a "hiss~".
However, leaving Wang Wu and running away seems to be quite badass.
But most people will still treat him to a meal or give him half a bottle of wine to express their gratitude.
What he said was quite simple, Liu Qi could understand it, but it felt like nonsense.
Liu Ji sighed lightly, there is no secret in this world, it's just the human heart.
Liu Ji knew clearly that it was such a cold day and it was in the north. If he slept outside the house at night, he and Liu Qi would be absolutely freezing the next day.
It is precisely because the two of them look good enough that his uncle claims to be a wandering Taoist priest from a certain Taoist temple, and some people really believe him.
Liu Ji looked calm, pointed at the tea, drew a route on the table, and said:
“Don't cross the side roads when taking the main roads. Travel during the day and stop at night.”
He asked whether his trip north to do business outside Xuanyue Pass would go smoothly.
"Huh? What? Are you dreaming again? There are no chicken legs." Someone who was eating alone with a chicken leg in his arms said cautiously: "Go to sleep quickly. We have to go on the road tomorrow morning."
In fact, after this experience, he had a great change in his third uncle's behavior, and even admired him a little.
He would give whatever people asked for, just to feel at ease.
But the cautious reaction of the old businessman made the young man feel confused. Is this really a clever plan worthy of excitement?
At night, when the two of them were sleeping together on a shabby mat, Liu Qi couldn't hold it back anymore and asked the person next to her in a low voice: "Uncle, when did you learn to tell fortunes?"
At most, I just think that he is too good at talking, and he seems a bit bored.
Liu Ji sneered and gave him a look that said you are still too young. "These days, who doesn't leave some shoes for themselves when going out? Look at his shoes, they are tied so firmly, there must be something inside."
This businessman is really stingy. He helped tell fortunes, but in the end he was given a chicken drumstick. The boss of such a big business was left with nothing!
Liu Qi shrugged the tip of her nose and sat up in a daze, "Uncle Third, do you smell the smell of chicken legs?"
Liu Qi stood behind Liu Ji throughout the whole process, acting as the little Taoist boy he called him.
Liu Ji waited for a full three minutes to make sure the person behind him was asleep, then secretly took out the uneaten chicken legs, ate them in two or two bites, threw the bones away, casually wiped the oil on his hands with his clothes, and closed his eyes. Go to sleep.
Liu Qi sniffed it again suspiciously. Is it hallucination? Why is there still the aroma of chicken legs?
However, sleepiness came over me and I couldn't hold my eyelids any longer, so I fell back and continued to sleep.
Liu Qi saw how Liu Ji was telling people fortune-telling nonsense.
Everyone in the village said that Uncle San was a bastard, but what he saw this time was a good elder who was meticulous in his observation, dared to fight the enemy, and could also identify the direction on the vast grassland and lead him out of the grassland.
In this way, the two of them actually ate quite well along the way, and had a meal of meat and vegetables every now and then.
The fortune-telling trick was effective. Along the way, Liu Ji caught the target customer and blew him off. Because he looked a bit like an immortal, no one ever doubted whether his identity as a Taoist priest was real or fake. .
I have to say that even though the third aunt was a good tutor, she was in such a mess, and her uncle didn't forget to tidy up his clothes.
Liu Qi covered her forehead and did not dare to say anything more.
Liu Ji closed his eyes and looked like he was asleep, but in fact he was not. After a long pause, just when Liu Qi was about to fall asleep, he suddenly said: "This is a secret from heaven and must not be leaked."
The 1.8-meter boy was startled. Wait, is he young?
Liu Ji had a stern expression that I had already seen through, "I don't want it to be used by the two of us."
Amidst the respectful calls from the Taoist Priest, Liu Ji himself was in a trance, almost forgetting that he was just a gangster in Liujia Village.
In addition, Liu Ji still had two loads of copper coins in his pocket for a ride, and the journey that originally took more than half a month was completed in eleven days.
Jumped off the carriage at the carriage house and looked up to see the familiar city wall of Kaiyang County. The uncle and nephew cried with joy, hugging their heads and crying: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, finally back!"
