Once August passed and entered September, the fierce autumn tiger turned into the autumn wind. The temperature changed so that many people entered the cold autumn before they calmed down.

Moon cake advertisements began to be broadcast on TV and the Internet, constantly reminding everyone that the Mid Autumn Festival is coming, it's time to buy moon cakes, and life without moon cakes is not perfect. Netizens on the Internet have also started the annual "dislike Wuren moon cake" activity. Although the Mid Autumn Festival has not yet arrived, the festival atmosphere has been changed.

Qi Yan remembered that on the Mid Autumn Festival when he was a child, his master would buy him a moon cake with a big face. At that time, there was no innovation in the filling of the moon cake, just a little peanut or sesame, and sprinkle a layer of sesame on the hard and dry skin. After buying it, put it on the offering table with fruit, light incense and candles to worship the moon cakes, and you can eat them.

Now the taste of moon cakes has created flowers. Many people don't worship the moon when they eat moon cakes, but what he misses most is the taste of childhood.

With his divination sign, Qi Yan found a street corner where there were not many people, but there was no urban management. I don't know if he's not very lucky today. After squatting in the street for an hour or two, no one is willing to count on him. Several people who are excited are scared away when they hear that he asks for 500.

Qi Yan simply bought a small stool, a bottle of beverage and several generations of snacks in the nearby small supermarket and sat slowly waiting for customers to come to the door. If he hadn't dressed well, people passing by in a hurry would almost think he came to beg.

As time went by, it was close to noon, and there were fewer people in the streets. Qi Yan stood up, kicked his sour leg and bent down to close the stall.

"Do you really know fortune telling?"

Qi Yan looked back. A thin woman with withered and yellow hair stood in front of him. Her thin windbreaker was fluttering in the wind, and the inferior cloth rustled.

"Please sit down first." Qi Yan put the stool next to the woman and squatted down and looked at her. "What do you want?"

The woman took out five hundred yuan bills from her coat. She looked a little strapped. She didn't seem to love the money at all. When she gave the money, she didn't feel half a pain. Looking at her, who is no more than 30, she looks haggard and has no vitality in her eyes. However, after sitting down, her sitting posture is very elegant. It can be seen that she used to be a very good or strict tutor.

"I don't know what it is?" the woman stroked the slightly disordered oblique bangs in front of her forehead and sipped her dry lips. "Just count."

Qi Yan glanced at her and got up and said, "wait a minute."

The woman didn't speak, didn't look at Qi Yan, and didn't care if he would run away with 500 yuan. She just stared numbly at the slapped wooden card in front of her, or she didn't look at anything, just in a daze.

"Your lips are a little dry," Qi Yan ran out of the supermarket and handed her a bottle of unopened peach juice. The woman looked at the juice and was stunned for two seconds before reaching out her thin hand to take it. Her lips moved, like saying thank you, but Qi Yan didn't hear it clearly.

Qi Yan smiled at her and bowed down the plastic wrap of a woman's lipstick. It took apart for a long time before it was opened. He handed the lipstick to the woman. "Ten yuan, what good stuff, you don't abandon it, wipe it, lest the lip corner split up and bleed."

The woman looked at Qi Yan with a stare. She took the lipstick for a long time, wrung the lid off and rubbed it on her lips. She clenched the lipstick, her lips slightly shaking, "thank you."

"You're welcome." Qi Yan put away the wooden cards on the ground and said softly, "since you don't know what it is, we can talk casually. I don't charge extra time."

"Are fortune tellers like you?" the woman smiled at the corners of her mouth. "So... Gentle?"

"I should be special," Qi Yan shook his head, "because I am a good fortune teller. Jianghu people call me a half immortal. This is not comparable to ordinary fortune tellers."

The woman smiled lightly. She put her lipstick carefully into her windbreaker coat, struggled to unscrew the lid of the drink, and drank a big gulp. The sweet smell of the peach was filled with her taste buds instantly. She was so sweet that she wanted to cry. But maybe she cried too much and there was no tear in her eyes.

"Very sweet," the woman lowered her head and didn't let Qi Yan see her expression, "thank you."

"Beautiful girl, it's better to drink something sweet." Qi Yan didn't stare at her face. He sighed, "my master used to say I love sweets, which is like a girl. Now he's dead, I don't have any other relatives, and no one cares about me." he picked out a bag of potato chips from the supermarket shopping bag next to him and gave it to the woman, "Give you a package and we'll count while eating."

"You..." the woman took the potato chips and looked at the young man with a gentle smile in front of her. She didn't believe that such a young boy had no other relatives. "Yours..." she hesitated and didn't ask. She was worried about what happened to the young man's parents. It was too cruel to ask.

"I have no parents. When I was a child, I was picked up and raised by my master," Qi Yan smiled and didn't mind mentioning these past. "I think you look good, beautiful. You should have parents who love you very much."

"Yes, they loved me very much and took me as the apple of their eye," the woman smiled bitterly. "Unfortunately, I was an unfilial girl and broke their heart for a man." after graduating from high school, she insisted on following the bastard. It was no use how her parents advised her and even knelt down to her. She remembered the day when she got on the imperial capital train with a man, She saw crying and looking for her mother at the railway station, but she ruthlessly pretended not to see it and got on the train with a man without looking back.

It's been ten years since I left. At the beginning, the man was fine and gentle and considerate to her. But a year later, he showed his true colors, drinking, abusing, beating, and then crying for her forgiveness. Then she got pregnant, but he beat her to miscarriage. After the doctor told her that she would never have a child again, she collapsed. The man found another woman outside, on the grounds that he could not live without offspring.

Finally, she abandoned her parents' feelings and ended up with a marriage and divorce full of domestic violence.

People always have to pay for their mistakes. She hurt her parents. She is self righteous, naive and stupid. She deserves it and is ridiculous. When she was most helpless, she posted to the Internet for help, and some netizens replied to her. A fool should live harder.

Now think about it, this netizen is right. A fool like her is a cheap in the mouth of others. Living is also a waste.

She chose an abandoned construction site with no one and no water source. When she jumped down, she would neither waste police resources nor pollute water resources. The only trouble is that after she died, she might bother the police to collect her body, or scare the people who found her body. But this is the last thing she can do. The landlord of the rental house is a good man, and she can't die there and bring trouble to the landlord.

As long as you cross this street and walk thousands of meters east, you can reach the abandoned construction site. When she saw the young fortune teller, she remembered that she had hundreds of dollars left, which was the money left after paying the rent this month. Anyway, she can't use the money. She might as well give it to the people who need it. I don't know if it's a good thing?

"No, I see your face. You were spoiled by your parents in your early years. Later, you met villains, but it will change in ten years," Qi Yan shook his head. "In life, who won't meet a few scum, just be open."

"Transshipment?" the woman laughed at herself. "How is transshipment?"

"Love industry has a good harvest," Qi Yan pointed to her eyebrows. "Your eyebrows are neat and beautiful, and your ears are drooping and fleshy. You are a blessed man."

"Houfu," the woman smiled and shook her head, "thank you. I'm afraid I won't have Houfu."

"Don't believe it. I'm very accurate," Qi Yan frowned. "But I think your forehead and hair are yellow. Your family should be ill. If I'm not wrong, your mother's health should be poor. Many of the old people's diseases are not serious, and they are also heart diseases. You made a mistake as a child once, but you can't make a mistake twice. You should accompany the old man and take good care of her body."

The woman's face finally showed a panic: "what are you talking about, my mother has a physical problem."

"From the face, it's true," Qi Yan nodded. "I don't think you have any other brothers and sisters. As a daughter, you should be more considerate to your parents."

"Yes, I have no other brothers and sisters," the woman looked at Qi Yan stunned. Unexpectedly, Qi Yan knew that she had no other brothers and sisters. Her dead heart beat again, and the scene of her mother crying for her reappeared in her mind.

Every time she thought of it, she felt out of breath and even had no face to go to the second old man.

Anyway, at least, at least she should sneak a look. What if... What the young man said is true? She suddenly stood up from the plastic stool. "Master, thank you for waking me up, thank you!"

Qi Yan saw her finish and was ready to go. He hurriedly stopped her: "wait."

The woman looked back in doubt and didn't understand what the young man had to say to her.

"I'll take your fortune telling fee," Qi Yan took 3000 yuan from his wallet and handed it to the woman with a business card. "I lent you the 3000 yuan. When you succeed in your career, remember to pay me back."

The woman looked at the young man in front of her in shock. How did he know that she had no money on her? Did... She really meet the good-natured alchemist?

"Take it," Qi Yan stuffed the money into the woman's hand, picked up the plastic stool on the ground and the shopping bag containing snacks and snack bags, and said to the woman with a smile, "goodbye, see you next time."

"Wait!" the woman felt that she could not accept other people's help for such an inexplicable reason, but the young man walked so fast that he jumped into a car in three or two steps and drove away.

With this pile of money, she bought a return train ticket with her ID card. Only when she came, she took a crowded train, but now she takes a beautiful and fast bullet train. The original journey of several days was completed in one day.

Stepping on the station where her hometown was completely strange and listening to the familiar local voice, she walked out of the door blankly. When she passed the station bulletin board and saw a missing person notice on it, she finally couldn't help squatting in front of the bulletin board and crying.

On the bulletin board that seemed to have just been posted, there was a picture of her wearing a school uniform ten years ago. Every sentence in it described the dress she wore when she left.

Ten years ago, she had forgotten what clothes and shoes she was wearing to leave, but her parents still remembered that they were still looking for her year after year, day after day. They didn't know that her unfilial daughter was afraid that they would find herself. She entrusted a fake card and never used a real ID card again.

"Sister, what's the matter?"

"Sister, don't cry. If you are wronged, let's go to the police."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Although the station is strange, the villagers here are still enthusiastic. Looking at the concerned eyes around, she slowly stood up, and a deserted heart seemed to find a foothold.

"Hoo." Qi Yan blew the hot chicken soup in the bowl, turned 500 yuan to the hope engineering organization, drank a mouthful of fragrant and delicious chicken soup, and raised his eyebrows proudly. His ability to cook soup is becoming more and more powerful. It's a pity that he can't use this good skill to make a living.

The mobile phone kept ringing. Qi Yan was too lazy to take his mobile phone. He simply pressed hands-free, and Wang Hang's voice came out.

"Money!"

"Hmm?" Qi Yan was very calm, in sharp contrast to Wang Hang's excitement.

"You are so familiar with Cen fifth master!" Wang Hang's voice almost roared, "we are still not friends. You don't tell me such an important thing."

"Don't you know that keeping a low profile is one of my many advantages?"

"Do you want a face?"

Qi Yan chuckled and then explained, "there's nothing to say about this. If I tell you specifically, it looks like I'm showing off to you. Besides, whether I'm friends with Baihe or not, you're also my brother."

"Just say nice things," Wang hang snorted on the other end of the phone, but he also understood Qi Yan's meaning and didn't keep talking about it. "You know, the second son made a girlfriend and said to invite us to dinner and meet tomorrow."

"He didn't stay in the school for postgraduate study. Why did he have the idea of falling in love?" Qi Yan put down his bowl. "I didn't expect that the second of the four of us was the first to take off the order."

"Life is changeable. Our two single dogs can only eat dog food." Wang Hang's voice is a little urgent. "I won't tell you first. I'm working on a plan these two days. I'll try to finish it today and have time to play with you tomorrow."

Hearing the busy tone at the other end of the mobile phone, Qi Yan shrugged and continued to drink chicken soup. As a result, a mouthful of chicken soup had not been swallowed, and the mobile phone rang again. This time it was the second child who called. The general content is that he found a good girlfriend, so he will invite his good friends to dinner tomorrow night.

Qi Yandang even promised to come down and joked about his dick.

After hanging up his cell phone, Qi Yan drank chicken soup and felt that his feeling of eating dog food was not so obvious. He got up and took the bowl to the kitchen and cleaned up the kitchen by the way.

Before and after returning to the computer, he saw a missed call from Cen Baihe, wiped the water off his hand and dialed Cen Baihe back.

As soon as he dialed, he answered the phone, and Cen Baihe's low voice came over.

"Money."

"Bai He, what's the matter? I was cleaning the kitchen just now and didn't hear my cell phone ring."

"There's really one thing I want to ask you," Cen Baihe smiled. "It's inconvenient to say on the phone. I'll pick you up later and we'll have dinner together in the evening."

Qi Yan looked at the time. It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, "OK, but I ate late at noon and didn't go to qianweiju in the evening." he would be distressed if he couldn't finish ordering too much.

"Why did you eat so late?" Cen Baihe said with concern. Qi Yan could feel this concern even across the phone. He smiled and said, "the first divination was opened this month. I didn't meet it until noon. I came back a little late."

"In the future, you should pay more attention to your body. Fortune telling can be done at any time. Your body is more important."

"Fortune telling is about fate," Qi Yan whispered with a low smile. "Besides, a human life is much more important than a meal."

"What?"

"It's all right. I'll go to bed first. Remember to call me in advance this afternoon so that I can get up."

"OK." Cen Baihe waited until there was a busy tone from Qi Yan's mobile phone, hung up the phone, looked up and said to Liang Feng, "who did you say just now?"

"Mr. Meng, President of qianfei technology company," Liang Feng added, "I made an appointment before."

"OK, I'll go now." Cen Baihe walked out in a good mood. Liang Feng followed him and closed the office door.

Qianfei technology is a new company that has only developed in recent two years. Recently, the publicity has become huge and famous in the circle. CEN Baihe didn't expect that the president of the company was a young man under the age of 30.

After the two politely exchanged greetings, the young man named Meng Xuan talked about the newly developed software of his company. He was very confident in his words. It seems that as long as Cen Baihe agrees to invest, he will bring Cen Baihe a huge profit.

After Cen Baihe took over the project, he said calmly, "I'll consider it."

Meng Xuan could not see his happiness and anger from Cen Baihe's face. In addition, the two had only half an hour to talk. He didn't want to make himself look too impolite. He could only hide his anxiety at the bottom of his heart: "I'm looking forward to getting good news from you."

CEN Baihe took a sip from his tea cup and said, "President Meng is young and promising. He won't lack opportunities."

"But the opportunity to cooperate with you is a once-in-a-lifetime." Meng Xuanshi flattered, "many people in the industry are looking forward to cooperating with the fifth master, and I am no exception."

"Mr. Meng flattered me. CEN is just a businessman. How can he have such a great appeal." Cen Baihe looked at his watch. "It's not early. I have something else to do. Please feel free, Mr. Meng."

Meng Xuan immediately stood up and said, "I have disturbed the fifth master for a long time today. I should go too. Bye."

"Mr. Meng, please." Liang Feng shook hands with Meng Xuan and took him out of the reception room.

CEN Baihe calmly sat on the sofa and waited for Liang Feng to see off the guests. "In the future, this person doesn't have to consider cooperation."

Liang Feng was stunned: "I see."

"I don't understand why?"

Liang Feng nodded.

"The business plan is not done well."

CEN Baihe took a sip of tea: "more importantly, his company's name is not very good."

Liang Feng:?
