Chapter 170: Embarrassing Journey

The person who came to pick us up was wearing a military uniform and looked like a border guard. I wanted to ask this little soldier what everyone was doing, but he seemed to have issued a confidentiality order. He only said one sentence from getting on the boat to getting off.

We simply didn't want to put our faces on the cold butts of others. We went down the Yalu River. At about one o'clock, we arrived at Changbai Korean Autonomous County. It was not much different from all the counties in the northeast. The restaurants on the shore were abbreviations of Chinese and Korean. The boat stopped and the soldier pointed to the shore for us. He only said one sentence: "The superiors asked me to send you here."

I always felt that he was a little mysterious. I got on the shore and looked at the Korean Peninsula across the river. To be honest, we are all border towns. Don't always say that they are poor. In fact, our side is not much better.

Mao Shi made another phone call. I heard him talking to Xing Zhan. "We are here. Where are you?" He said, "What? You went to North Korea. What is going on? Why didn't you wait for us? What! Let us go find you? Are you kidding me?"

Looking at the cordon across the river, people would shoot in the past! I was also a little confused. Why did China build a laboratory in North Korea? Aren't they afraid that people would know? Could it be a mistake?

Suddenly, I thought of Yuan Beitang. He is a big shot. Whether in terms of Feng Shui or magic, Yuan Beitang is a legendary earth immortal. If he said he was in North Korea, it would be most likely correct. However, the bodies of the researchers were found in the Changbai Mountain Forest Farm. From this point of view, it is very likely that those people escaped from North Korea and were hunted by someone?

In a hurry, I grabbed the phone and said to Xing Zhan: "Director Xing, I think it is necessary to stay in Jilin to investigate if the researchers died on the way to escape."

But the other party said coldly: "Follow the order, come to Hongjunli in North Korea to find us. Now we have found the door of the laboratory. We are currently in a deadlock and the door cannot be opened. You must rush to the destination at noon tomorrow." The other party hung up the phone.

I slapped my forehead and looked at the cordon on the other side of the Yalu River. I slapped my forehead and couldn't help cursing: "Fuck, it's really unreasonable!"

"Junior brother, are you familiar with this place?" Mao Shi suddenly asked me.

I shook my head and pointed to the other side: "Those bastards are here. Yuan Beitang must have found a clue. Now that the door is blocked, he wants us to join the count." I felt a headache and asked, "Do you think we can not go?" Mao Shi frowned and said something difficult to say. The reason why everyone was so obedient was that everyone, including him, was a common person and had the possibility of threatening the safety of some people. Therefore, everyone was registered on the shore, and if they wanted to live on this land of China, they had to sign an agreement, such as being warned at a specific time and not disobeying orders. As for the consequences of disobeying orders, there were two options: one was to flee abroad, and the other was to be killed. I remembered that Xing Zhan asked me to join the Special Service Office for the record, and I thought it was for this purpose. I resisted the urge to curse and asked Mao Shi: "Do you have your ID card?"

He said that he had lost it because of all the troubles recently. I also said helplessly: "Mine also fell into the well. Do you have money?"

"I lost my wallet when I caught the golden toad. How can I have money?" He also said helplessly.

I looked up at the sky and listened to the rumbling sound in my stomach. Now I am facing a problem. That is, we have no money, no ID, and we still know nothing about this place. Two words can summarize it, that is, "tragic!"

One cent can make a hero fall. I was forced to do my old business again. I found a crowded vegetable market. The second brother was in the south and I was in the north. I picked up a few bricks to surround myself and used stones to arrange two words "fortune telling".

I had just arrived at the Korean Autonomous County, and I was in urgent need of money, so I didn't dare to write down the domineering "a fortune-telling of a thousand gold coins". I just decided to fill my stomach first.

People kept coming and going in front of me, but it seemed that everyone ignored me. Later, I learned that most ethnic minorities have their own beliefs, and they don't believe in face reading at all. I sat there for almost 40 minutes, and finally a 50-year-old aunt came in front of me. The difference between the red and blue divinations is that the blue divinations are better at guessing other people's hearts, which most red divinations don't care about. Now facing the pressure of survival, I have no choice.

The middle-aged woman in front of me has low eyebrows, blue eyebrow corners, and some dark circles under her eyes. It seems that she hasn't slept much recently. Her eyes are dim and her face is dark. Even those who can't tell fortunes can see that she is indeed worried.

So I pretended to be very deep, glanced at her, and lowered my head: "When the family is not at peace, good fortune and misfortune are interdependent." The family is not at peace. She is over 50 years old this year. She can come to tell fortunes. It is nothing more than a problem with her children. The things that bother the elderly between children are the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law or the incompatibility of children's marriage. So, sometimes you don't have to think that fortune-telling is accurate. To a large extent, we are more proficient in psychology and observing words and expressions. She was hesitant at first, but after hearing what I said, how could she not take the bait? The most important thing is what I said, "Good fortune and misfortune are interdependent." The woman put down the basket, squatted in front of me, and asked tentatively: "Young man, can you tell fortunes?" "I know a little." I was very humble, giving the other party the illusion that I was very profound. "Then tell me." He sounded like someone from Shandong. Due to local traditions, Shandong and Northeast China are more likely to believe in the gods of fate. I glanced at her and told her that if the fortune telling was not accurate, I would not charge her a penny, but if it was accurate, it would be worth a thousand gold. I don't know if you have ever asked a Taoist priest to tell your fortune. No matter if it is accurate or not, if you ask someone to tell your fortune, you must pay, because Taoism will not leave empty-handed. If you don't pay, it means that the fortune telling was not successful and it is not accurate.

The woman had already taken the bait and naturally agreed. I told her that she had a son, which could be seen from her eyebrows, and said that her son and daughter-in-law were probably not getting along, which caused the family dispute.

The woman exclaimed after hearing what I said: "It's amazing! Little master, please help me. My family is from Shandong. I came here to do business and settled down here. Although my family is not rich, we have made some money over the years. My son got married just one month ago and is now arguing for a divorce. Before the marriage, I also asked someone to tell my son and daughter-in-law. The horoscopes were originally a natural match, but now the couple fights every day. I am so worried that my hair has turned white. You said that as parents, we all hope that our two children are well." She sighed.

After listening to her, I asked for their horoscopes. It was clear that their yin and yang and five elements were all in harmony. Most couples like this were relatively happy, but nothing was absolute, so I asked a few more questions. The woman told me that her daughter-in-law was a local, and her son met her when he was working. They quarreled when they were dating, but they never separated no matter how much they quarreled. Later, they got married, and now they quarreled even more fiercely.

The woman said that she had no choice. When she was buying vegetables today, she happened to see a fortune teller and wanted to ask. After chatting for a while, I asked a few questions, such as whether the wedding room was taboo against the zodiac sign, whether blood was seen on the eve of the wedding, and whether the time of the wedding reception was changed.

After listening to me, the woman slapped her thigh excitedly and told me that it rained on the day of the wedding reception, which delayed the wedding for an hour, and the time was just wrong.

It is often said in folk culture that if it rains during a wedding, the wife cannot afford to offend. In addition to the horoscope he gave me, his wife is a fire-born woman, and the time is the Si hour, which is also a fire hour, which happens to be in conflict with him as a man. After marriage, the man is likely to be suppressed, while his wife becomes more prosperous and becomes the head of the family.

Although this may cause unrest in the family, it will not lead to divorce, after all, the two people's horoscopes are in harmony. Can I help the woman? I thought about it for a while, not thinking about anything else, but how to charge this money!

I glanced at the other party. Although she was dressed in a normal way, she said she was a businessman, and her face showed that she was a wealthy person, so I thought about it and said, "How about this, I will go to your house with you, and the divination fee is 3,000 yuan."

"Will it work?" The woman was a little bit grumbling.

I am Jiang Taigong fishing. If you want to tell me, then tell me. If you don't, forget it. Besides, if there is a price, it is not extortion.

The woman hesitated for ten minutes, asked me several times, and finally made up her mind to agree. Her house is not far from the market, so I went with her to look at the wedding room. Almost everything that could be smashed had been smashed. The young couple was probably angry, so they were not at home.

I walked around the building of more than 80 square meters several times, trying to see if there was anything taboo. In order not to miss every corner, I checked slowly. The woman followed me all the time. Maybe she was old and liked to chatter, which made me a little annoyed.

I felt something was wrong, so I pointed to the 1.8-meter-long bed and said to the woman, "Auntie, help me lift it up and take a look."

I understood it when I opened it! Folk witchcraft spreads in every corner of China. At this moment, there was a bowl under the bed. There was not much water in the bowl, wheat awns floating on the water, and an embroidery needle sinking under the water!

The woman knew something was wrong. She quickly gave me three thousand yuan and then asked me tentatively, "Master, what is this?"

It was really vicious. This was too vicious! The needle pointed at the wheat awn, a typical way of not letting the couple live together. The ancients often said that it was better to demolish a temple than to break up a marriage. This was too harmful to Yin virtue.

I said that this was the culprit that broke up her son's marriage. The woman excitedly asked me how to deal with this thing. Because I was also quite angry at the time, I couldn't control my mouth for a while and said to take out the wheat awn and burn it, and throw the needle in the toilet.

Just when the woman took out the lighter at home and burned the wheat awn, I suddenly felt that I was too extreme. I quickly threw away the lighter and saw that a small piece of the wheat awn was burnt, but fortunately it was not completely burned.

The woman asked me what happened in confusion. I heaved a sigh of relief. Since it was not completely burned, it was God's will. I said to her, "Go check the people who have entered this room and see who is in trouble today." Fortunately, only the lower part of the wheat awn was burned, so I said, "The person who harmed your family will be paralyzed from the lower body today. You should pay attention to it."
