The fortune teller who set up a stall became the first strategist of the Republic of China

The old man went out and saw that there was no one around.

He thought it was a broom, but when he looked closely, he saw that it was actually a few pieces of iron.

I don’t know who threw these pieces of iron.

There was a hint of a smile on his face as he said,

The arrival of iron is a good thing.

This piece of iron can also be sold.

As long as it's not a broom, these things are good.

Gao Qingqiu smiled slightly and said that this piece of iron is metal.

The broom is gone, but the iron block has come. Maybe you will become rich in the future.

The old man said,

Haha, I’m over 60. Even if I become rich, how many days can I enjoy it?

Gao Qingqiu said,

You can't say that. It's better for you to have a good life in the future than to live a hard life.

Old man Zhang nodded and said,

This is also true.

Then, Gao Qingqiu stayed at the old man's house for another three days.

Nothing strange happened again.

So Gao Qingqiu bowed to the old man and said goodbye.

The old man tried to keep him.

Gao Qingqiu said, I have something else to do and can’t stay here anymore. See you again if we have the chance.

After saying that, he left.

When Gao Qingqiu reached the entrance of the alley, he saw a coppersmith sitting at the door and crying loudly.

The coppersmith's wife also cried very sadly.

A handful of tears, a handful of snot,

Telling people around me about the pain in my heart.

Gao Qingqiu was also curious and stood nearby listening.

After a long time, he finally figured it out.

It turned out that the old couple's son was missing.

They went to the police station to report the case.

But the patrol department investigated for more than a month,

Haven’t they found out where their son is?

The couple thought their son had been killed.

So he was in so much pain that he just shouted and made a fuss.

A neighbor said,

I saw your son wasn't around during this time.

I didn't ask, thinking he was going somewhere to do something important.

Who knew? I was actually scammed out of my money.

Another neighbor said,

It's been so long, and I haven't seen you two talk about this.

You guys are really patient.

The coppersmith's wife stretched out a black hand, wiped her tears and said, "I am just caring about my reputation. Who would like to tell outsiders about the ugly things in their family?"

Gao Qingqiu squeezed over and asked the coppersmith,

When was your son taken away?

When the coppersmith heard Gao Qingqiu ask him, he looked at the stranger in front of him.

He hesitated for a moment and refused to speak.

Gao Qingqiu said,

Think about it yourself, maybe I can help you.

When the coppersmith heard this, he felt like he had found a life-saving straw.

He sighed and said, "Well, it's a long story. It happened three or four days ago."

I arranged for my son to settle a bill.

But on the way, he was kidnapped.

Later, the kidnapper brought me a note.

The words above were written by my son.

He said, "Father, please take 1000 yuan quickly.

Leave it to these people, otherwise they will really kill you.

Send the money here within three days.

At the bottom of the paper is the address for receiving the money.

Think about it, I'm just a coppersmith.

I can only earn 70 or 80 taels of silver a year.

Where do you want me to go to get 1000 dollars?

A fat neighbor said,

Isn’t your son in his 20s?

Can't I escape?

The coppersmith slapped his thigh and said,

Hey, my son has some strength and is in his 20s;

But, probably in the hands of the kidnappers,

They all had guns, how did he get out?

Ugh.

A very dark-looking neighbor said,

Is this your only son?

The coppersmith looked at the black neighbor and said,

You know,

I have two sons.

Last year, someone drowned in the river.

Now this is the only one left.

If he was really killed by someone,

The incense of my family is really going to be cut off.

Gao Qingqiu felt very sorry for the coppersmith.

He walked to the side and saw some images through the system...

It turns out that this young man often gambles privately.

He owed usury to those wicked men,

That day, those evil men blocked him on the way.

Ask him for money.

The young man refused to pay, saying,

I have no money!

The wicked ones said,

Okay, you don’t give me money.

We will kidnap you now and ask your father for money!

So, those people kidnapped the young man.

Those people asked the young man to write a note and ask his father for 1000 yuan.

In order to survive, the young man had to write a note.

However, his father did not have that much money, so he did not go to redeem the person.

The kidnappers were also very cruel.

I bought some medicine and put it in the young man's eyes.

Soon, the young man became blind, which was more painful than killing him.

After the kidnappers left,

The young man is out of sight.

He picked up a stick,

Just walk in any direction,

Later I found out it was the South.

At that time, he was already 40 miles away from his home.

But his father still doesn't know...

Gao Qingqiu already knew his direction through the system.

He opened his eyes and said to the coppersmith,

I know where your son is. Go south, about 40 miles.

You can see your son.

The coppersmith said,

Are you telling the truth?

The patrol officers couldn't find him.

Can you find it?

Gao Qingqiu frowned and said,

Since you said that, I don’t know what to say.

I tell you, but you don't believe me. I haven't made a penny from you, and yet you still say such things.

The coppersmith knew he had said the wrong thing.

He smiled and said,

Young man, I see that you are about the same age as my son, so how come you are so powerful?

Just wait at my house, I'll go and get my son back.

I asked him to kowtow to you and thank you.

Gao Qingqiu said,

This is not necessary,

But I think there may be some problems in your home, so let me help you take a look.

So the coppersmith arranged for his wife to serve Gao Qingqiu at home.

He hurried away to the south.

The coppersmith's wife bought good wine and food in the street and set them on the table.

She asked Gao Qingqiu to eat first.

Gao Qingqiu raised his chin and said,

Wait for your old man to find your son, and then we can eat together.

Until three hours later.

The coppersmith finally found his son.

At this time, the neighbors came again and hurriedly asked the coppersmith some questions.

The coppersmith was extremely tired and drank several large buckets of water when he came back.

The coppersmith said,

Let me rest for a while.

Let me take a break and then tell you again.

At this time, the coppersmith's son was already blind.

The clothes on his body were tattered,

And his face was all black,

Like a beggar in his 50s,

He doesn't look like a young man in his 20s at all.

The coppersmith's wife felt very distressed when she looked at her son.

She helped her son sit down on the bench, then took a towel and a basin and wiped his body clean.

He brought his son back into the house and changed his clothes.

At this time, the coppersmith's son could not see.

He could only utter nonsense.

Gao Qingqiu said,

Let your son have some rest first.

Now he is like this,

No matter what you ask him to do, he can't do it well.

The coppersmith said, “That’s right.”

He helped his son into the room to sleep.

Then he sat down at the table and ate.

The neighbors stood at the door, wanting to hear what the coppersmith had to say.

The coppersmith also knew what they meant.

The coppersmith waved his hand and said,

Come in and sit for a while. I’ll tell you more after I finish eating.

Some people came in and sat on the bench, and some people didn't come in.

Gao Qingqiu finished his meal with the coppersmith.

His wife took the leftovers to the back of the kitchen and ate them.

At this time, the coppersmith sighed and said,

Fortunately, although my son is blind, he can still speak.

He says,

Those robbers don't care about life, they only want money.

At that time, I didn't send the money, so they blinded my son's eyes with a potion to vent their anger.

Now, although my son is blind,

But he already had a knack.

The dark-skinned neighbor said,

What abilities does your son have?

Could it be that he became a god?

The coppersmith smiled bitterly and said,

It’s not possible to become an immortal.

It just means that he now has the ability to predict.

The dark-skinned man was stunned for a moment and suddenly said, Prediction?

Your son is blind.

Could it be that your son has become a fortune teller?

The coppersmith pursed his lips, shook his head and said,

He is not yet a fortune teller, but he can tell fortunes now.

This dark-skinned man touched his head and said,

I still don't understand this.

Your son's eyes have been blinded by someone else.

I didn't go anywhere to find a master.

How did he know about fortune-telling?

The coppersmith said,

I'll explain this to you slowly.

I was on the road, listening to my son,

After his eyes were blinded by the kidnappers, he had a dream.

He dreamed of an old man with a white beard.

The old man told him,

Your eyes are now blind.

I won't be able to gamble anymore.

I think you are a person with deep wisdom.

I will give you some skills so that you can make a living with this skill in the future.

My son asked him,

What skills did you teach me?

The old man with white beard said,

Close your eyes and I will touch your head.

You will know the fortune-telling techniques in your mind.

My son closed his eyes.

The old man with white beard touched his head.
