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

The big guy said, "Now you are provoking me, but I am not provoking you."

The big guy stretched out his hand to hit Gao Qingqiu, but Gao Qingqiu was quick-witted and pulled out the knife from his right leg, cutting the big guy's right hand.

The big guy's hand was bleeding. He pointed at Gao Qingqiu and said, "Okay, now that you've cut my hand and made it bleed, I'm going to burn down Lao Liu's house."

Immediately, Gao Qingqiu helped Old Liu up.

Old Liu spat out a mouthful of blood and said, "Big guy, I'm telling you, you knocked out my teeth today. If you don't kneel down and kowtow to me and apologize, I'm going to burn your house down today."

The big guy pointed at the house behind him and said, "Well, if you don't burn my house down today, you're a coward, you're a bastard, an old bastard."

What the big guy said was very unpleasant, so Lao Liu stood up and walked towards the big guy's house.

At this time, many onlookers came to stop Lao Liu and said, "Lao Liu, why bother with him? Just go back."

Lao Liu said, "No, he humiliated me in public today. I must let him have a taste of my strength. I haven't lost my temper with anyone in all these years. He thinks I'm a pushover. Fine, I'll let him have a taste of my strength today."

Old Liu shook off the crowd, ran into his house, and found a pack of matches. Because these houses were all thatched houses, Old Liu lit a match and set the house on fire. Soon, a fire broke out and the flames shot up very high.

Fortunately, the houses of these ordinary people were not built close together. Lao Liu's neighbors were all far away from him, so the fire quickly burned down the big guy's house. The big guy's eyes turned red. He looked at Lao Liu and said, "You burned my house down. Now my wife and my daughter have no place to live. I will stay at your house today."

The big guy ran towards Lao Liu's house. When Lao Liu's wife saw the big guy coming and knew the situation was not good, she quickly closed her door.

The big guy walked to the door and couldn't push it open, so he kicked it a few times and ended up kicking both wooden doors down.

The big guy walked into Lao Liu's house and lay down on Lao Liu's bed. Lao Liu came in and was very angry. He asked, "Why are you lying on my bed?"

The big guy said, "Now you've destroyed my house too. I'm living in your house. Let's see what you're going to do. I'll see if you dare to kill me or carry me out!"

Lao Liu said, "I, I'm going to kill you today."

Lao Liu took a knife and was about to chop the big guy, but Gao Qingqiu stopped him and said, "Don't be crazy. Are the cotton you put there still there?"

Old Liu said, "What cotton is left? All that cotton has rotted."

Gao Qingqiu said: "That's terrible!"

Old Liu walked towards the big guy, who was still lying on the bed without moving.

When he saw Lao Liu coming with a knife, he panicked, climbed down from the bed, jumped out of the window and ran away. Lao Liu saw that the big guy had left, so he said to Gao Qingqiu, "You don't know, the day after you left your cotton with me, it rained heavily. It rained for seven days and seven nights, and there was a meter of water in our village. The water flowed into the cellar, and the cotton was spoiled..."

Gao Qingqiu sighed and said, "It's not your fault. God wants it to rain, and no one can stop it."

Lao Liu said, "You gave this matter to me, and I didn't take good care of it. How can I compensate you?"

Gao Qingqiu said, "What's the point of compensation? Since it's already happened and can't be undone, just forget it."

At this moment, Lao Liu's wife came running over in a panic and fell down again. Lao Liu quickly helped her up and said, "What's wrong? You're so flustered."

Lao Liu's wife turned around, pointed ahead and said, "The big guy is coming again. He brought a few people with him, all holding machetes. Run away!"

After Lao Liu's wife finished speaking, she opened the back door, picked up a bundle and ran away.

Old Liu said to his wife, "Where have you been?"

The wife said, "I, I'm going to my brother's house and won't be back for a while. You can do whatever you want."

Old Liu felt mixed emotions as he watched his wife run away.

As soon as he turned around, five people, including the big guy, appeared in the yard.

Gao Qingqiu didn't want to get entangled with these people, so he said, "How much does this house cost? I'll give you the money, and you don't have to bother Lao Liu."

The big guy stared at Gao Qingqiu and said, "You said that not only do you have to pay for my house, but he also cut my hand, so I want compensation for it."

Lao Liu said, "A man's actions are a man's responsibility. I burned down your house, so I can compensate you. But you caused the injury on your hand because you provoked me. I scratched your hand, so I won't compensate you."

The big guy said, "No, you have to pay me for both. If you don't, I will chop you up and cripple you today, making your life worse than death."

Old Liu stepped forward to fight him.

Gao Qingqiu stopped him and said, "Ah? Okay, let's see who kills whom today."

Gao Qingqiu said to Lao Liu, "Hurry up and go to the village. I'll take care of these guys."

Old Liu said, "I don't want to live anymore, so I'm going to fight them no matter what."

Old Liu took a long stick and flew towards the big guy and the other five people.

It was only at this time that Gao Qingqiu realized that Lao Liu was a martial arts master hidden among the people.

Lao Liu's stick moved slightly, and Gao Qingqiu couldn't see Lao Liu's moves at all. The five people, including the big guy, all fell to the ground, and the knives in their hands fell.

Lao Liu walked over, picked up the knife, and threw it into a well in the yard. He said to the five men, "I just used a stick to knock the knives out of your hands, so when weapons are used against weapons, it doesn't matter who wins or loses.

I'm going to throw this stick away now and fight you bare-handed. I'll fight all five of you by myself. If you beat me, you can do whatever you want to me. If I beat all five of you, you all have to kneel down and kowtow to me!

After Lao Liu finished speaking, he threw away the stick in his hand.

Gao Qingqiu said, "That's fine."

But the big guy was not satisfied. He winked at the four people around him, meaning that they should leave quickly. These people stood up and were about to leave.

There was a flash of gray light, and then Lao Liu was standing at the front door. He closed the front door and walked up to the five people in a swagger.

Because Lao Liu was taller than them, he raised his head and said to them, "Come and fight me, five of you! Let's see if you five are strong enough to beat this old man down."

The big guy saw that the front door was tied up and Gao Qingqiu was standing at the back door. He knew he couldn't escape, so he said, "Okay, you old man, you want to fight with the five of us, aren't you looking for death?"

The big guy stretched out his fist first, but Lao Liu jumped to the other side and the big guy missed.

Lao Liu stood under a tree, folded his arms over his chest, and said to them, "Five of you, fight me together. It's pointless to fight me alone."

The big guy sneered and said, "Yeah, I see you're still pretty arrogant. Now let me show you how powerful we are."

The five men showed no moral integrity and one of them picked up a brick and threw it at the old man.

A shadow flashed by, and Lao Liu appeared behind the five people, kicking them in a series of kicks, hitting all five of them in the back. All five of them fell to the ground, lying flat on their backs.

Lao Liu said to them again: "Come on, come on, get up quickly."

Look, the big guy just got up and picked up the brick and threw it at Lao Liu, but Lao Liu was bare-handed and he punched the brick and broke it into pieces. There was no scar or swelling on his hand.

The big guy was actually a little scared, but he still cared about his reputation and said, "Old man, you still have some skills."

The big guy looked at the people around him and said, "Brothers, come with me. After we knock this old man down, take off your stinky shoes and stuff them into his mouth."

The big guy and the people around him all laughed.

Gao Qingqiu reached into his pocket, wanting to take out his gun to help Lao Liu. Lao Liu said to Gao Qingqiu, "I don't need your help. Just watch me take care of them all."

At this time, the big guy and four other people surrounded the old man. They all raised their fists, wanting to beat the old man to death.

But Lao Liu was muttering something, spinning and launching a series of kicks, which hit the chests of these five people.

All five men were kicked away by Lao Liu. Blood mist gushed out of their mouths at the same time, and their chests were torn open. The red blood soon stained their clothes red. They covered their chests with their right hands and said to Lao Liu, "Old man, what kind of boxing skills are you using?"

Lao Liu said, "The boxing technique I'm using is the Tianya Kick, which has been lost for hundreds of years. Hahahaha, now you've all tasted my power, right? I'm telling you, this chain of kicks of mine has shattered all of your organs. You'll all be dead within 10 minutes."

Gao Qingqiu noticed something was wrong, but it was too late. The big guy took out a dart from his body and threw it, hitting Lao Liu in the heart.

Old Liu pointed at the big guy and said, "I never thought you, a jerk, would resort to such dirty tricks."

He fell to the ground and died, and the five men were also dying.

Gao Qingqiu walked over and took a few glances at them. The five men had died one after another. He looked at the mess in the yard and the deaths of these people, feeling very sad. He pushed open the door and walked out.

He wanted to find Lao Liu's wife and ask her to bury Lao Liu, but he couldn't find her at all.

So he didn't want to bother with this matter anymore.

He drove into the village and saw many people gathered, banging pots in their hands.

Gao Qingqiu heard a buzzing sound. He looked up and saw that it was locusts covering the sky.

Gao Qingqiu said, "This is the first time I've seen so many locusts."

After he finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but someone in the village recognized him. This person grabbed Gao Qingqiu and said, "Mr. Gao, I used to know you in the city. I know you even won the Feng Shui competition. Please perform some rituals for us here to eliminate these locusts. They have already eaten half of our crops. If they continue to eat them, everyone in our village will starve to death."

Gao Qingqiu was anxious to return to the city, so he didn't want to bother with this matter. However, the man who had just spoken to him stopped the car, and all the other villagers in the village knelt down in unison.

Many villagers were several decades older than Gao Qingqiu. Gao Qingqiu panicked and quickly opened the car door, saying to the villagers, "Get up, all of you!"

The villagers said, "You are a Feng Shui master, and you have the ability to get rid of these locusts. But if you don't want to help us, we will kneel here until you get up."

Those people knelt in front of Gao Qingqiu's car, and many people also knelt behind the car. Now the car could not move forward, let alone back, so Gao Qingqiu sighed and said, "Okay, I will help you get rid of these locusts, but you must listen to my instructions."

At this time, a short and fat village chief came forward and said, "Tell me your idea and I will arrange for them to do it."

Gao Qingqiu said, "Find all the drums in the village and arrange for a few young people to play them."

The village chief said, "What's the point of beating the drum?"

Gao Qingqiu said, "Don't worry about it. Send someone to beat the drum. When the locusts hear the drum, some of them will fly away."

The village chief said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

So, the village chief brought a dozen young men and pushed the largest drum in the village out of the land temple. The villagers arranged for several young men to hold drumsticks and keep blowing the drum. Soon, the deafening drum sound came out. This sound was very penetrating, and Gao Qingqiu's eardrums were almost broken.

When the locusts heard the drumbeats, some were frightened to death and fell to the ground. Gao Qingqiu quickly found the village chief and said, "Now, while these locusts have just died, you can light a fire and roast these locusts and eat them. Eating them will give you strength, and I will assign you the next task."

At this time, some experienced elders in the village had already lit bonfires in front of their homes. They strung the locusts together with thin wooden sticks and roasted them over the fire. More villagers imitated this behavior and roasted locusts in front of their homes.

About an hour later, when the villagers had eaten their fill of roasted locusts, Gao Qingqiu said to the village chief, "Now I will arrange for you to do the second thing."
