Clouds and water do not know the wind and moon [entertainment circle]

In November 2012, the weather had entered winter, forcing people to wear bloated winter clothes, down jackets, woolen coats, scarves, and gloves.People walking up and down the streets make the snow-covered world less monotonous and less pure.The weather forecast said that the temperature today would be twelve degrees Celsius, but Tang Bubu felt that it might be even lower, because the knuckles of his hands on the handlebars of his bicycle were frozen red, and there was a bit of purple in the scorching red. It was a stark contrast to the rest of the pale skin.

Today is an ordinary day, but soon it will not be.

Tang Zhizhi pushed the bicycle to the base of a banyan tree with his hands that had been frozen and unconscious. In the front basket of the bicycle was a piece of stacked yellow cloth, a simple folding chair, and a copy of "Actors Create Characters", the author is Stanislavski, a box of cigarettes in a red box, worth 25 RMB.

One foot put the horse pedal down, and the owner of the foot exhaled, a white mist quickly condensed around his mouth, and a gust of cold wind quickly blew away the mist.

After parking the car, Tang Zhizhi took out a yellow square cloth from the slightly rusted front basket and spread it on the snow-covered road curb. It says "Fortune-telling", "Fortune-telling" on the right, and above it is written in vermilion lowercase letters "Three thousand hexagrams, without a single mistake; nine hundred fortune-telling, without a single mistake", this is his signature.

After setting up the signboard, Tang Zhizhi took out a simple folding chair from the basket. After unfolding the folding chair and putting it down beside the banyan tree, he sat on it and started to "go to work".It's about eight o'clock in the morning, and as usual, his plan is to set up a stall here until five o'clock in the afternoon, then pack up and go home, have dinner at his landlord's place, and then go to the performance association to participate in drama rehearsals.

There are many private houses and shops on both sides of Hexi Road, and it is close to the bazaar. It has always been a densely populated place, even in winter. There are many people on the street.Not long after, a woman was attracted and walked towards Tang Zhizhi's stall.

"Brother, what do you think?" The woman put her hands on her hips, looking down at the writing on the ground.

Tang Buzhi raised his eyes and saw a jadeite bracelet on her wrist. It was crystal clear and emerald, and it was probably worth a lot.Then the eyes moved up and landed on her face, with high cheekbones, fair skin, and lips like two trembling red sails. It was not beautiful, but it had an extraordinary temperament.

Tang Zhizhi stood up from the chair, shaking the snow on his shoulders.

"Bazi, luck, marriage, future, and parents' health, what do you want to count?"

He was tall, 1.9 meters two, with broad shoulders, a strong chest, and a handsome appearance.In order to attract the attention of passers-by, he specially wore a black Republic of China gown with a stand-up collar and buttons. The shape and color of this dress are particularly conspicuous on the snow-covered street.

The woman raised her eyebrows, thin and curved like a crescent moon.

"Wang Mazi at the door of Lili's barber shop also counts these things, but he's not sure. I don't know if you can."

"I'm more accurate than him, so let me tell you a few things about you first." Tang Zhiwu folded his arms on his chest, looked at the woman with a pair of bright eyes, and said calmly: "You are a sales consultant for a jewelry company. The food I eat is salmon in sauce, you want to go to Paris, France to see the Eiffel Tower, but traveling abroad is too expensive, so you only went to Hangzhou West Lake to see the Leifeng Pagoda during the company's annual vacation last time, right?"

The woman's almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise, then she giggled and said in a soft voice: "You are right, then count the marriage for me."

"Okay." Tang didn't know to walk to the side of the woman, spread his right hand in front of her, and said with a smile, "Give me the money first."

"how much is it?"

"It's [-] for one time, [-]% off for two times, and [-]% off for three times." Tang didn't know.

The woman put her right hand into Liu Se's wallet, and after a while, she held 200 yuan between her index finger and middle finger and handed it to Tang Bubu, saying, "I'm considered a marriage."

"Judging from your appearance, you will get married at the age of 27 and have a child at the age of 30. From now on, there will be no disasters, no troubles, good luck, and family reunion." Tang Zhizhi put the money in the pocket of his gown and said with a bright smile.

However, the woman's expression changed after hearing this:

"Fart, I'm 34 years old this year, and I haven't even talked about love yet. Get married and have a kid."

Her eyes were filled with dark clouds, which were shady and scary, like a witch in a western fairy tale, as if lightning would shoot out of it in the next second.

Tang Buzhi was so frightened that she almost lost her wits, so she glared at her and said:

"Look, your fate can be changed by knowledge."

"Bah, you still charge two hundred for your head. I don't think even two cents is too much, so I will refund the money!" the woman said with glaring eyes and gnashed teeth.

Seeing her reaching out to take the money from her pocket, Tang Buzhi quickly dodged to avoid it.

"Wait a minute, don't be impatient, I'm talking about psychological age. In your heart, do you think you are only 27 years old?" The smile on his face was a bit difficult to maintain, but he still smiled.However, he still felt a little guilty. He had only learned fortune-telling for less than a year, and the timing was inaccurate. Maybe this time it would be the inaccuracy.

But the woman was stunned as if she had been hit by a rumor.

While she was dazed, Tang Zhizhi grabbed the yellow cloth on the ground with one hand, pushed the bicycle behind him with the other hand, and fled towards the street on the right as if the wind was blowing under his feet.Damn, I haven't brought the portable folding chair I bought for three yuan, but I can't take care of it now.Don't know what to think.

"Bastard, shameless, don't run!" When the woman came back to her senses, Tang didn't know that she had already run a long way, she yelled in astonishment, and hurriedly set off to chase.

On the street, red, white and black cars drove up and down one after another. The sound of horns and shop music was extremely loud. Although it was still morning, Xihe Road was already very lively.

The dense pedestrians provided good cover for Tang Zhizhi. He threw the yellow cloth into the front basket of the bicycle, pushed the bicycle forward for a while, and then turned right into an alley.After going straight through the alley, Tang Wuzhi came to another street.

Although the female sales consultant of the jewelry company had lost track of him, she was still looking for him everywhere. The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, her face turned purple with anger.

As soon as the woman turned around, she accidentally bumped into a man.She was already angry, but now she was even more annoyed. Just when she was about to get angry, she looked up and saw that the man was actually her colleague, so she couldn't swear - he was the one she had a crush on.

The man took the initiative to apologize to her and asked her why she was here.So the two chatted.Of course, Tang Zhizhi would never know that when the man asked about his age, the woman replied with reddened cheeks: 27...

Tang didn't know that the street where he was now was mostly lined with poorly decorated teahouses, with red waterproof stickers stuck to the half-open glass doors, and the words "Welcome" were written.There is an elementary school not far away, and the sound of exercises between classes spreads through the streets and alleys through the radio. "Chest expansion exercise, one, two, three, four..." On the contrary, the sound of snowflakes falling from the sky is almost inaudible, but the snow is huge, like countless white paratroopers falling from above, and the earth has become A white battlefield has been created, and countless white trenches have been built on the asphalt road.Therefore, the silent snow is more noticeable than the loud radio sound. Although it is not far from Hexi Road, there are a lot fewer people.

Tang didn't know that he was still panting, but his body, which was hot from running just now, had been cooled down by the cold wind. "Damn it." Thinking Tang Buzhi, he pushed his bicycle to a smoking shop with a red signboard.He decided to continue setting up a fortune-telling stall here, but before working, he took out a lighter from his pocket and lit a cigarette in his mouth.

Tang Zhizhi spread the soaked gossip map on the ground when his cell phone rang.It was Qi Wei calling.

Qi Wei is a good brother of Tang Zhizhi—in fact, he is more like a younger brother, because he is four years younger than Tang Zhizhi. He is 26 this year. He is simple and childish.Both of them have the same financial difficulties, neither will look down on the other, and neither will be jealous of the other. They are more willing to pity themselves than pity each other, so their friendship is as strong as steel.

Tang Bubu thought: If the first sentence Qi Wei said was "fucking shit", then he probably wanted to tell me bad news.

Tang Zhizhi held the cigarette between his fingers, and the sparks flickered on and off. He answered the phone with his other hand.

"Damn it." Qi Wei's voice came from the receiver, and he whispered in a disgusted tone: "The group of debt-collecting grandsons are here again."

Hearing the faint cry of a child over there, Tang Zhi frowned and asked, "Have they entered the courtyard?"

"No, I saw them from a distance on the second floor, so I ran down and closed the door immediately. They couldn't come in, but they kept hitting the windows on the second floor with stones, and several pieces of the window glass were smashed. what to do?"

Those children must have cried when they were frightened by this movement. Damn it, it costs money to change the window glass. If you don't change it, it means that Qi Wei and those children will be frozen all winter. Damn, those bastards, before It is clearly agreed that I will come to collect debts at the end of the month.Don't know what to think.

He took a deep breath of the cigarette and exhaled it. In the rising smoke, he narrowed his deep-set black eyes, and said to Qiwei:

"It's okay, I'll come right away, and they should leave after paying back the money."

"Ah."

Tang Zhizhi hung up the phone, hurriedly put away his outfit, and rode his bicycle towards the orphanage.

Twenty minutes later, he arrived at his destination.Just as light is always accompanied by shadows, there must also be decay in the prosperity. Baisha City, which is famous as the provincial capital, also hides a desolate old street.Here, the road surface covered with crushed stones under the snow quilt and not yet cemented is uneven. The houses of the old people are scattered on the side of the street and uninhabited. The waste station built on the slope is like a deaf The dumb old man, watching the prosperity in the distance, knows that the prosperity has nothing to do with him.

And the orphanage is right next to the scrap yard. Although it has this name, it is far from a formal institution. It is just an abandoned double-story box-shaped building made of cement and square bricks, no matter from the outside or the inside. They were all tattered, like a gray shoe.
