The village where Li Ming grew up was at the end of the winding mountain road, an unusually remote village.

He has to walk two hours every day to get to school, and another two hours to go home from school. He has persisted for decades. When the news came that he was admitted to Huaqing University, the whole village was boiling. .

Li Ming is the only college student here, and Huaqing University is a well-known university in China. For this matter, the village party secretary went to the county to help Li Ming apply for a scholarship.

When Li Ming walked to the entrance of the village, a fat woman ran towards him, and she anxiously grabbed his hand: "Xiao Ming, where have you been all day today, but I was so worried. "

"I'm fine, I just accidentally fell into a ditch when I went out to collect herbs." Li Ming withdrew his hand calmly, recalling the memory in his mind.

The obese woman in front of her is Li Ming's neighbor, Aunt Zhang, who has taken care of him since he was a child, and is kind and enthusiastic.

"It's good that you are fine. Although your mother is gone, everyone in our village is still here. If you have any difficulties, please tell us, and don't worry about it alone..." Aunt Zhang said in a rambling voice, Li Ming looks like his own child.

She sighed, this child is very affectionate and righteous, in fact, even if Li Ming's mother is gone, she will only beat the child when she is awake, let alone when she is in a daze, she is a lunatic, if Li Ming is so It must be difficult for a mother to marry a wife in the future. Now that his mother is gone, he is not burdened by himself.

"Aunt Zhang, thank you, I will definitely repay you well in the future." Li Ming still remembered the child's most innocent wish, and he didn't mind helping these simple villagers in the future.

"You kid, why don't you talk about thanking you. That's enough, Aunt Zhang won't babble anymore, you should go home and rest, get a good night's sleep, and you will report to the school in two months, so you have to be more energetic. "After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she left in a hurry. The child had disappeared all day. She thought something had happened. Many people in the village had gone out to look for the child. She had to tell them.

Li Ming watched Aunt Zhang run away, and slowly returned to his house. The house he lives in can be said to be the most dilapidated in the whole village. There are only two mud houses. It leaks when it rains. In winter, The whole house is damp and cold.

In addition to two wooden beds and a few broken quilts, there are only a few broken pots and pots left in the house.

He has no other clothes except for a few old and gray school uniforms. If the village party secretary hadn't applied for a scholarship for him, he might not even have the money to go to school.

Li Ming frowned, even if he had been in seclusion for 500 years, he still knew what it meant to be unable to move without money.

The most important thing now is to make money and improve the living environment.

Li Ming took out a few coins from a jar with a hole in it, and looked at these silver gadgets with some curiosity. This one was one yuan, and the shape was quite delicate.

He stuffed these coins into his pocket and prepared to take a trip to the county seat.

The county seat is very far away. Walk along the muddy mountain road in Xiaoshan Village to the Panshan Highway. After passing the Panshan Highway, you have to walk a long way to get there. Only a dilapidated bus takes this road. One in the morning and one in the afternoon.

Naturally, Li Ming would not wrong himself to be a bus. In Li Ming's memory, the memories of the bus are all about the stench and bumps for a long time.

A wisp of green smoke drifted past, and Li Ming disappeared in place.

It is said to be a county town, but in fact there is not a lot of traffic. Li Ming went to the nearby Xiangshi to participate in a competition when he was in high school. Xiangshi is a second-tier city, but compared to this small county town, there is already a gap between heaven and earth, where there are many tall buildings. , the road is clean and tidy, it looks so orderly.

And in this small county, even the roads are uneven.

But these can't affect Li Ming's curiosity. In the new industrial age, everything seems so novel. He wants to see the mobile phones, computers, rockets, and moon landings in Li Ming's memory. This is completely different from 500 years ago. world.

It is incredible that ordinary human beings can create these tools with the help of ever-evolving technology.

With his feet firmly on the ground, Li Ming watched the people coming and going on the road, and the strangely dressed human beings, so he really felt like he was in the world.

"Young man, do you want to tell your fortune?" Wang Mazi under the bridge had been paying attention to this young man for a long time. He smiled and showed his big yellow teeth, and he didn't care about the whitish school uniform the young man was wearing.

Wang Mazi's fortune-telling never cared about poverty and wealth, but only by sight, and today this young man was right for him!

"Fortune-telling?" Li Ming chewed these two words carefully, becoming a little interested: "How do you calculate?"

"Today, my god Wang will not charge you money, you can do whatever you want." Wang Mazi usually set up a stall under the bridge. She was very tender, so she wanted to tease her.

"Then how do you figure out my face?" Li Ming raised his eyebrows and sat down on the small bench in his booth.

"Okay, today you catch my eye, so I'll figure out your face." Wang Mazi said with a smile, and muttered in his heart that this kid is really rude. move.

Wang Mazi has been in this county for more than ten years. It is really not true that he has any great skills, but he still has some real skills. He can always say something right, otherwise he would have been kicked out of the county. up.

He carefully looked at the face of the young man in front of him, and the deeper he looked, the more he became more and more suspicious, even a little frightened: "Young man, may I ask your birthday."

Li Ming: "I was born at the time of x month and x year in xx." He directly reported Li Ming's birthday.

"Plop." Wang Mazi, who had done the calculations, trembled and fell off the stool. He swallowed hard, "I can't see you like this."

"Why can't I see it?" Li Ming was puzzled, the faces of mortals were almost clear at a glance, there were many good physicists a hundred years ago, even practitioners, they could tell a little about it.

Wang Mazi was in distress, so he waved his hands fearfully, and stared at him: "Boy, hurry up."

Li Ming didn't bother, he glanced at Wang Mazi thoughtfully, smiled and left.

Wang Mazi tidied up the stall in a hurry. Today, he should not set up this stall. The first customer who has a good eye is so difficult to deal with.

"Wang Ermazi, what's the matter with you?" The stall owner next door who had watched the whole process came up and asked, and he had never seen Wang Ermazi so panic-stricken.

"Go, go." Wang Mazi waved his hand, his eyes were bigger than the copper bell: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Just tell me what's the matter. I haven't seen you like this before." The owner of the stall next door specializes in selling wontons. The taste is really good. He has set up a stall here for several years and has a good relationship with Wang Mazi. It's like being scratched by a cat, very curious.

Wang Mazi hesitated for a moment, packed up the things in his booth first, and then sat down on the wonton booth with a sigh. Can't a kind of person be counted?"

"No, I don't know." Lao Li scratched his head, how could he know these nagging things.

"Our business is destined to have five disadvantages and three deficiencies. These five disadvantages refer to widowhood, widowhood, loneliness, loneliness, and disability. The three deficiencies, to put it bluntly, are the three deficiencies of money, life, and power. Everything in this world Development and operations have their specific rules, and you will be punished if you spy on the secrets. If you intervene in cause and effect and forcibly change the development track of things, you will cause unwarranted disasters, so it is the truth that most of us in our industry are alone. And what about our industry , not everyone’s life is counted.” Wang Mazi brushed off the black worms that flew onto his face, feeling quite compassionate: “There are three kinds of people, we absolutely cannot count them. First, people who are about to die are not counted. Second, young children don’t count, and third, pregnant women don’t count.”

"That one just now?" Lao Li thought about it, and he had some aftertaste. The boy just now was not a child, let alone a pregnant woman, so the young man just now wasn't...

"Hey, Wang Ermazi, since you have figured out that the boy is in trouble, why don't you tell him." Lao Li was anxious, and immediately dropped what he was doing to chase the boy just now. save.

He had no doubts about Wang Ermazi's ability. After all, some important people in the county would invite Wang Ermazi over from time to time. If Wang Ermazi had no real ability, he would have been dealt with already.

"Old Li. Don't worry." Wang Mazi pulled him back, looked around to make sure no one could hear him, and then said in a serious, low voice, "The young man just now seemed to be dead, but he just survived. , That’s why I can’t and dare not tell my fortune.”

"You mean that boy should have died just now, but now he is alive and well?" Lao Li asked with a strange face. Even if Wang Ermazi has some skills, this is too nonsense. Well done!

"Old Li, what kind of expression do you have? Don't believe me, what I say is true!" Wang Mazi continued to say solemnly: "Remember, if you meet that young man in the future, don't Mess with the other party." I don't know which lonely ghost resides in that body.

Of course, Wang Mazi didn't say the last sentence.

"Come on." Lao Li waved the big spoon, and gave Wang Mazi an angry look: "I won't talk nonsense with you, I'm going to greet the guests."

"Everyone is drunk and I'm sober." Wang Mazi shook his head with emotion, and staggered back home.
