Patriarch enjoys meal

There is a small farmer's market behind the Luoshu community. It is busiest every morning for a few hours. Elderly people from several surrounding communities pick up the freshest vegetables and fruits every morning.

Zhou Jiran followed Tao Jiang and watched him shuttle between the old men and old ladies with ease, and stopped to ask the price from time to time. If he put aside his appearance and height, he would blend into this scene without any sense of disobedience. vegetable market.

"Today's tomatoes are good." Tao Jiang stopped in front of a stall.

The proprietress greeted warmly: "Our dishes are fresh and juicy. They are all just shipped from the suburbs, and there are still dewdrops on them!"

Tao Jiang turned her head and asked, "How about stewed beef brisket with tomatoes today?"

Zhou already responded positively: "Okay, okay!"

This dish is really fresh, and in the end, not only did I buy tomatoes, but I bought all the vegetables directly at her house.The proprietress also warmly gave a handful of shallots.

"Next time, come to my place to buy!"

Zhou Jiran also agreed with a smile: "Okay, next time I will come to patronize my sister's booth!"

The proprietress was overjoyed when she heard this, and added a handful of green vegetables to their dishes.

The two of them bought all their things and were walking outside when there was a commotion at the entrance of the vegetable market. Women's cries and men's yelling attracted many people to watch.

Zhou Weiran and Tao Jiang were blocked at the exit and forced to watch.

"You can't leave today!" The middle-aged woman with disheveled hair was sitting on the ground with pale cheeks, bruises under her eye circles, and she seemed to be in poor health.

The short man standing across from him was wearing a pocket change, kicking the leaves on the ground impatiently: "Did you take the wrong medicine today?! You watch the vegetable stall and watch where I go!"

The woman propped her hands on the ground, and coughed hard for a long time. She didn't care about the tears that came out, she just wiped them with her sleeve, and shouted: "I know you are going to play cards, I'll leave it here today, Either leave the money with you, or stay at the stall with me, after today is over, I don’t care if you want to play cards for a few days!”

Hearing this, the man's face changed and he pouted on the ground, and he put down his sleeves and wanted to make a move.The owner of the vegetable stall next to him hurried forward and said, "Brother Chen, Brother Chen, you can't do anything since Sister Chen just got out of the hospital!"

When the onlookers saw that they were going to make a move, some people backed away immediately, fearing that it would hurt Chi Yu, and some, like the boss next door, stepped forward to stop it.

The old lady in the exercise clothes at the front is one of them.

She stood in front of the middle-aged woman, with a long sword in her hand, aggressively: "What are you doing? Hitting a woman? Domestic violence or drunken madness?!"

She looks very much like a chivalrous woman who sees injustice on the road and eliminates violence and peace.

This momentum instantly calmed the scene.

Seeing that it was an old lady, the man sneered and raised his fist to threaten: "It's none of your business for me to teach my wife a lesson! Get the hell out of here, don't touch porcelain after you fall!"

The old lady didn't retreat at all, she turned her head and shouted: "Sisters! There are men beating their wives here! Come on!"

This voice is not inferior to the small speakers in some booths. It is not only loud but also has a lot of stamina!

After a while, a few old ladies wearing the same style of white exercise uniforms emerged from the crowd. They either held swords or carried big red silk fans, and some of them even carried freshly bought vegetables in their hands.

It seems that they just finished their morning exercise and came to buy groceries together.

"What's the matter? My meat hasn't been weighed yet!"

"Who dared to hit someone? Did you call the police?"

"Oh, it's so shameless! What kind of skill is it to beat a woman? If you have the skill to fight crime!"

"..."

Four or five old ladies chattered and helped the woman on the ground up.

Seeing the ferocious man opposite, they locked on the target instantly.

"Looking small, why are you so angry? What big things are worth doing? Can't you talk about it calmly?"

"That's right, violence can't solve problems! It can only create problems!"

The old lady in the lead held her head up, very energetic: "You said she is your wife?"

The man raised his hand to plow his hair, and shouted angrily, "Ask her if she is!"

The old lady turned her head back with a questioning look in her eyes.

Chen Li covered her mouth and nodded. She yelled a few words just now, her throat was itchy, and she was afraid that she would not be able to stop coughing.

Among the onlookers who knew the couple, they also spoke at this time: "This man usually beats his wife, and last time he broke two ribs and was sent to the hospital."

"His wife sets up a stall here to sell vegetables, and he comes here every day to ask for money to play cards. If there is less money, he will play games, and if he loses games, he will vent his anger."

"Then this is domestic violence! Call the police!"

The man felt a little guilty: "Our housework has nothing to do with you old women? Can the police still let me teach my wife a lesson!"

The old lady snorted coldly: "A person like you who can get a wife doesn't know how to cherish it. It's really not a thing!"

The man was pointed and pointed for a long time, and his anger rushed to his head, his face flushed red.

The old lady took a step back and said cautiously: "I tell you, I have a heart attack! You can't afford it!"

The man glared at them, turned around and waved away the boss next door who was pulling his hand and wanted to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chen Li didn't care about her throat and shouted loudly: "You will be hit by a car to death if you leave this door today!"

The old ladies quickly grabbed her, what are you doing with your tongue at this time!It's not easy to end if he is angered, and the right way is to call the police while he is gone!

As expected, the man's eyes turned red with excitement: "Stinky bitch, you dare to curse me? I'm so impatient!"

After enduring it for a long time, he couldn't hold back his temper anymore, pushed away those who blocked him, pulled Chen Li out of the crowd of old ladies, and slapped her so that she fell to the ground.

When he was about to kick his foot, his neck suddenly hurt, and his body softened and he almost fell down. He covered his neck and turned around to see two young men standing behind him and looking at him with cold eyes.

He was very aggressive towards his wife and the old lady, but he didn't dare to be arrogant when facing two young men who were a bit taller than him.

Although he managed to maintain a fierce look on his face, his voice dropped several degrees: "Who are you! Why did you hit me!"

Zhou was overjoyed, and raised the Tai Chi sword he had just picked up from the ground: "Aren't you beating people too?"

"It's only right for me to beat my wife!" The man clutched his aching neck with some trepidation in his heart. The pain was so painful that it felt like a needle was being drilled into his bone. "I don't even know you! It's a crime for you to hit me! I want to call the police." Catch you!"

"Do you still know that beating someone is a crime?" Zhou Jiran sneered, "Domestic violence is also a crime."

"You don't need to call the police. I just reported it. So many people saw you beating your wife. Everyone is a witness."

The onlookers responded one after another, and some even applauded.

The man was flustered, grabbed his neck a few times, got out of the crowd, and ran away.

Tao Jiang wanted to chase him out, but was held back by Zhou Weiran.

"No need to chase."

The man's slap was not light, Chen Li's eyes were black and her nose was bleeding unstoppably. The old ladies held her head to stop the bleeding, and someone bought iced mineral water beside her to apply to her swollen face.

It took a long time for the bleeding to stop.

It turned out that the man ran away and she couldn't stop crying, so the old ladies had no choice but to persuade him.

After Zhou Jiran returned the sword he had picked up to the old lady, he stood by and listened.

Chen Li hiccupped and couldn't speak smoothly: "I didn't lie to him...he went out today...he's really going to hiccup and get hit..."

An old lady said bluntly: "It would be better if this kind of man is killed!"

The other old ladies echoed: "That's right, you should divorce this kind of wife-beating man as soon as possible!"

Chen Li looked even paler: "My son is still young...without his father..."

"With such a father, your son is even more pitiful!" The old lady holding a sword interrupted Chen Li, "You will only create a psychological shadow on him by enduring violence like this."

Chen Li covered her face and trembled all over, it was late, it was late.

......

After Chen Li got better, the old ladies also left.

Zhou already waited for a while, and sure enough, Chen Li hurriedly closed the booth after answering a phone call.

Tao Jiang was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Zhou already shook his head: "Let's go."

When I returned to Tao's house, I happened to meet Bai Xiaohong to send Li Wu to work.Bai Xiaohong put down Li Wu and left in a hurry without even having time to say a few words.

"In such a rush today?"

Li Wu sat on the edge of the table and supported his big head, a little worried: "There was a car accident at the intersection ahead, and it was blocked for a long time. I don't know if Xiaohong will be late."

Hearing that Tao Jiang put down what he was doing: "A car accident?"

Seeing his attention, Li Wu continued: "At the crossroads in front of the community, a man didn't know what to worry about. The quantity estimate is not very good.”

Tao Jiang looked at Zhou Weiran who was quietly reading a book, and asked, "It's him?"

Zhou already nodded.

"His wife stopped him from going out to save him?"

Zhou already put down the book, with an inexplicable expression: "Have you ever heard of the fortune-telling by the Great Immortal?"

She can answer this question!Li Wu quickly answered: "The kind that wears sunglasses for 50 yuan a hexagram in the park scenic spot?"

"I'm well-informed, and I understand the market quite well." Zhou Ziran boasted.

"It's okay hahaha."

"The answer is wrong." Zhou Jiran said, "You are talking about a fortune teller."

"Fortune-telling in Jianghu is not so much 'fortune-telling' as 'fortune-reading'. It is their housekeeping ability to read people's minds and people's hearts. The people they meet have encountered many things, and they only need to ask for what they want. Talk a few words and you can see it out of ten."

There was a science popularization in this news, which seems to be a kind of psychology. Li Wu was more curious about the metaphysical part: "Then what is the fortune-telling of the great immortal?"

Zhou Ji didn’t explain directly, so he told them a short story first: “A few years ago, a woman abroad said that she had memories of her previous life, and she could accurately tell the shape, interior layout, and surrounding environment of a house at an address in another country, Even the family members of the people who live in it, it's as if she's been there in person, but she's never even left the town on her home side."

Li Wu exclaimed: "So amazing?"

Zhou Weiran: "It's not amazing, she knows this because she has read the picture album of that house, not because of any previous life."

"..." Li Wu: "This is actually a report into science!"

Anticlimactic!

"But Daxian's fortune-telling is so magical," Zhou Jiran looked at Tao Jiang, "and Daxian's fortune-telling only exists in some people with a special system, usually because of a serious illness or a major accident, and then suddenly have this kind of The ability to see fragments of the past or future of the person you want to see."

Tao Jiang understood: "He sent his wife to the hospital, so his wife gained the ability to tell fortunes. She calculated that he would have a car accident and wanted to save him, but..."

Zhou already smiled: "Suicide."

"Although Daxian's fortune-telling is accurate, most of what he sees is the past, and his predictions are all mediocre." Zhou Ziran continued, "This kind of ability is usually not accurate after a period of time. It can be regarded as a temporary job rewarded by God."

Li Wu: "This is already amazing, like a superpower!"

Tao Jiang nodded and said, "If you don't have a teacher, you can be regarded as a teacher."

"Fortune-telling by the Great Immortal can only be regarded as God's temporary opening of eyes, not for a long time." Zhou Jiran shook his head and said, "Heaven enlightens his wisdom, dreams teach alchemy and Taoism, this kind of kind is considered as Heaven's teacher."

"Isn't that the chosen one?" Li Wu was startled, "Is there really?"

"Yes." Zhou Weiran said, "I am."
