After Daphne left, I wanted to go into the tattoo parlor with Stein to take a break, but at that moment, a drunk came into the alley, he was lying on the wall as if he was going to vomit.
This alley to have a disgusting vomit, the disaster is our store, Stein rushed forward to repel, but this person while drunk actually want to beat people, Stein is not a natural opponent, I rushed forward to help.
But when I got a good look at the drunkard, I froze.
"Moreira? "I exclaimed.
Moreira was my companion in the village since I was a child, after graduating from high school, his family moved up to Vervecity, and never contacted each other since then, I never thought I would bump into him here.
Moreira was a little drunk, and it was nighttime, so he didn't recognize me for a while, and only when I slapped him in the face for the tenth time did he sober up a little.
"Ror, why you?" Moreira was as surprised as I was to bump into him in an alley like this after all these years of not seeing him.
I invited him back and after a few cups of sobering tea, Moreira's drink had only lifted a good portion of it, and he almost didn't open his eyes just now.
I said this thing or drink less, drink too much for the body is not good, especially drunk, shelves people by the alley vomit kind, will be killed.
Moreira this time sad face up, said he is to drink to dispel the sorrows, the mood is poor on the more drink a few cups, drink confused, do not know where this is, want to vomit on the wall to vomit.
As the saying goes, when a hometown meets a hometown, a shot in the back, uh, no, it's when a hometown meets a hometown, a tear in the eye, Moreira seems to have encountered something troubling, and I thought to enlighten him, asking him what he's bothered about.
Moreira said, he himself is a good gambler, and then also hooked on the stock market, recently speculation in the stock market is really losing all the pockets of the bottom of the sky, not only owed a butt of debt, the girlfriend also ran away with someone, really bad luck.
Now have a home also dare not return, every day by people chasing debts, the family also said to cut off relations with him.
I sighed, said buddy, gambling must stay away from, that is a bottomless pit, trapped in the person's life will be over.
Moreira waved his hand, not thinking, he said he was just bad luck, and, stocks are not considered gambling.
Yes, to be clear, stocks are not gambling, but because of this on the rooftop, there are not a few.
Suddenly Moreira stood up and started surveying my tattoo parlor.
"So, Ror, you opened another tattoo parlor in Vervecity? It's promising, it's not making much money, is it?" Moreira said.
"Not bad!" I said modestly, scratching my head.
If it was an ordinary tattoo parlor, it would have closed down a long time ago, I relied on the Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts as a Yin-related magic to make a lot of money, but Moreira actually knew about the Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts, and said that he had heard about it from the people in the village.
"Hey Ror, I heard that the tattoos your grandfather taught you are amazing, help me out, are there any tattoos to improve your fortune? Help me get a tattoo, I've been too backward lately." Moreira begged.
I said there is such a tattoo, but the price is not ordinary.
There are Yang - themed Tattoo and Yin - inspired Tattoo, Yang - themed Tattoo is called The Five - way God of Wealth Talisman.
Yin - inspired Tattoo is more evil, called Five - Ghosts Fortune - Bringing, listening to grandpa said, this Five - Ghosts Fortune - Bringing can not be randomly tattooed, this is a kind of life expectancy in exchange for overnight wealth tattoo, want to tattoo have to think carefully, the ghosts to give the thing, the future is to be double The consequences are unimaginable if you are revolted.
This tattoo is suitable for what kind of people? It is the kind of urgent need for money to save the life of the people can be tattooed, all to save the life of a few years of life naturally folded is nothing.
The Five - way God of Wealth Talisman tattoo is relatively simple, the effect is not particularly fierce, charge a ten thousand dollars tattoo fee!
Moreira listened to a bitter laugh, said he is now covered with just a few dozen dollars, where the 10,000 dollars?
I thought for a moment, said the money later to give it, on my relationship with Moreira, I'm not afraid of him to renege, when a pair of pants to wear, a popsicle two lick, not for the money to hurt the feelings, the main Moreira is now in this situation, I would like to help him a. But in advance, I want to help him a hand.
However, there are words in advance, Moreira if the fortune to earn money, the arrears pay off, the gambling nature must give me to quit, no longer allowed to speculate in stocks.
Moreira swore on the spot to the lamp, said he if the money are paid off, certainly no longer speculate in stocks, or no good end!
Seeing that he is so sincere and I am on good terms with him, I decided to do him a favor and give him a free tattoo first.
The Five-Way God of Wealth Talisman must be tattooed on the hand, because the hand can count money, fortune comes by hands.
I took Moreira to the tattoo room and got a tattoo needle and paint and started tattooing The Five - way God of Wealth Talisman on his hand.
The tattoo was relatively simple and took about two hours to complete, just a simple talismanic design.
"Will it work?" Moreira asked half-heartedly, just tattooing a talisman on your hand will improve your fortune?
I said you can't be the richest man in the world, but for a small amount of money, it shouldn't be a problem.
"A small amount of money? How small? It won't be one or two dollars, right?" Moreira smiled bitterly with some disgust.
I said I don't know, it depends on your destiny, some people are born poor, then the God of Wealth can't send you much money.
Moreira seems to understand nodded, and then and I exchanged a few pleasantries and then wanted to leave, I said you are not afraid to go home? Why don't you sleep here for a few nights?
Moreira refused, and then said to go to a friend's home to board, so do not bother me, if the debt collectors find here, probably will smash my store, finished and left.
After Moreira left, Stein shook his head at me and sighed.
I asked him what happened.
Stein said, gambling ghosts I also believe, Moreira to be able to quit gambling, he can say anything, and, he is obviously going to gamble again, what to a friend's home boarding, pure bullshit.
Maybe Stein's right, but I'm only trying to help him this once, and if he doesn't change, there's nothing I can do about it, I'm done as a brother.
After I got the tattoo of The Five - way God of Wealth Talisman, it was already past 2:00 a.m. After a brief wash, Stein and I went to bed.
At about five o'clock, suddenly someone knocked on my store door, I opened the door, my eyes are still open, I was going to be angry, the day is not even bright, actually dare to disturb people's sleep, even God has no face to give.
But when I opened the door and saw Stella, I was immediately absent, this girl is more powerful than God, I don't dare to mess with.
"My aunt, it's only five o'clock, don't you have to go to class tomorrow? Why are you knocking on my door so early? I didn't lie down until after two." I complained.
"Big brother, do you think I would want to come over this early?" Said Stella and yawned, obviously like me, people are still sleepy, "Look what day it is today?"
I looked at the date on my cell phone and instantly my whole body came to life.
Fifteen! Today was the fifteenth, the day to pick the morning dew.
With Morning Dew and Corpse - Vanishing Talisman, then Chloe's Corpse - Fetus could be aborted!
But Chloe didn't seem to be in the right mood after being threatened by Nuwa's Forsaken Shade the other day, I wonder how she's doing now.
"Let's go, find Chloe and fetch the morning dew." I dragged Stella straight to Chloe's house.
