Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

As soon as He Yuzhu saw He Daqing's expression, he knew that what little He Wen said was right.

He Daqing was simply cheated by someone.

However, He Daqing was embarrassed to admit it in front of the younger generation.

He Yuzhu waved his hand.

"Son, go, your dad is in a hurry and doesn't have any cigarettes. Go out and buy me a pack of cigarettes."

As he spoke, He Yuzhu pointed exaggeratedly outside the yard.

"Go buy it from that guy's store. He has a full range of cigarettes."

"what?"

Little He Wen, who was a little slow to react, looked at He Yuzhu's "winking eyes" and instantly understood.

"Okay, I'll go now."

Having said that, Xiao He Wen turned around and left the yard.

Now, there was no one in the yard.

He Yuzhu took out a cigarette box from his pocket, lit one for He Daqing, and then lit his own.

He also sat down on the steps.

"No one is here. Tell me what happened."

"Alas~~~~ I have been playing with eagles all my life, and now, I have finally gotten pecked by a little sparrow."

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it any longer, He Daqing spoke up.

"A while ago, I met a monk who insisted that we were destined to be together and wanted to read my fortune. I knew at the time that he was just a Yanweizi (a branch of Qianmen, a group of fraudsters) playing a trick, but I don't know why, after he did a few things for me, I believed that he was a real monk, not a fake monk."

After listening to He Daqing, He Yuzhu suddenly understood.

"Oh~~~"

No wonder He Daqing didn't want to say it.

This is really like what He Daqing said, after playing with the eagle all his life, he was finally played by a little sparrow. It's hard to say it.

But then again, Qianmen’s tricks have been really hard to guard against from ancient times to the present.

No one thinks that Qianmen can only survive at the gambling table, right?

Yes, someone who cheats at the gambling table can also be called a cheater.

But, these are two concepts, okay?

If we really want to say what the people who cheat at the gambling table are, they are called Lan Ma (Ma) or Lan Dao.

It is a branch of Qianmen.

You can say Lan Ma is Qianmen, but you cannot say Qianmen is a cheater (Lan Ma).

Because, in Qianmen, all the branches add up.

That's countless.

Let's just put it that way.

Those pig-killing schemes in later generations, well, are what the Qianmen left over.

Ponzi scheme, you all know this, right?

Similarly, it is what is left over from Qianmen.

and also.

You would never think of it, but it is still a very common type of Qianmen.

You’ve all seen supermarkets offering discounts and giving away eggs, right?

In fact, this is also a classic cheating technique evolved from Qianmen.

Unexpected?

As for the chess endgames, number writing, noose and other things in the parks and night markets, they are too low-level, so I won’t talk about them.

seriously.

If a person from Qianmen, or a group of people from Qianmen, really want to set a trap to trap someone.

If this person doesn't have any senior Qianmen people around him, it would be really hard to guard against.

Because, to put it in a more high-sounding way, Qianmen is a layout that targets a person's weaknesses.

And how can a person not have weaknesses, right?

Now, we can’t blame He Daqing entirely for being cheated.

So, He Yuzhu began to comfort He Daqing.

"It's okay, Lao Qiangha (Dad), people make mistakes and horses stumble, it happens once in a while, it's nothing serious."

In order to take care of He Daqing's feelings, He Yuzhu even started to speak in slang.

"Occasionally."

As he said this, He Daqing took the initiative to grab He Yuzhu's hand this time.

"Zhui'er (son), you don't know, your husband was messed up by that Li Xiangzhi, and he ran away with nothing. (You have no money left)"

"No, Lao Qiang, it's not the first time? Moreover, the opponent also threw a pestle?"

This was a little hard for He Yuzhu to accept.

Follow the rules of the world.

Generally, unless one is very rich, no one would kill him/herself.

Of course, this is not to say that Qianmen is so moral.

In "The Promotion History of Big Brother B's Biological Son Chen Haonan", the underworld has been explained very clearly.

Moreover, Lao Guo once said this.

There are few good people in this world.

Everyone is just trying to make a living.

Who wants to eat only half full when you can eat your fill?

Here, the reason why Qianmen does not use the pestle to kill ordinary people is actually very simple.

The higher-end Qianmen requires a lot of effort and money to set up in the early stages.

Therefore, there is no profit for them to cheat ordinary people.

Even, you have to pay compensation.

There is an old saying that goes well.

There are people who will do business that will get them killed, but no one will do business that will lose money.

This is a losing business.

Moreover, if you cheat ordinary people, they will really dare to report you to the government.

Unlike those rich and powerful people, some of them know that they have been cheated but dare not speak out.

As long as you get out of the ground, you will be safe.

The reason why those who cheat ordinary people do so is very simple.

Because the level is not enough.

Often, they would choose to run away after defrauding the "first pestle".

Because their skills are not good enough and they are afraid of "smashing the boss" (getting back the money they were cheated of), they may end up in a small dark room for a few years.

But.

Often, these people are the hardest to catch.

God knows they will choose to cheat for a few days and cheat a few people before moving on to the next place.

This is a bit like the "free massage", "free physical therapy" and "free eggs during school suspension" in later generations.

Who knows when they will see a "Closed" sign on the door.

You said you encountered this kind of thing.

If the money you're scammed is large, it's okay.

Look for it in other places, and then get it back to make up for the loss.

But, if there is less deception.

It's just a few hundred or thousands of dollars. Is it your time that doesn't cost money, or your travel expenses, food and accommodation?

It’s not enough.

Often, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

And now, He Yuzhu also decided to "consider himself unlucky."

They even advised He Daqing to "consider it as a loss to avoid disaster."

Anyway, old man He Daqing is not working now.

Most of my life savings are invested in this small courtyard.

The little pension I get every month is basically either used to buy things for my great-grandson or to drink and smoke with that little old man.

There is nothing left after a month.

How much can you cheat?

However, He Daqing's next words made He Yuzhu unable to sit still.

"Moreover, they also stole the deeds to my courtyard and the two main houses in Maoer Hutong."

"Fuck."

Although He Yuzhu couldn't accept the opponent's pestle, he still held on to the idea that "it's OK as long as the person is fine and the scam is small, I'll just consider it as losing money to avoid disaster."

Now, He Yuzhu was getting anxious.

"Dad, tell me, how did the other side trick you into owning your house?"

He Yuzhu no longer cared about speaking in jargon and asked directly.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was getting anxious, He Daqing began to tell the whole story.

"In the beginning, the guy across from me... no, that fake monk, read my face and said that I was doomed to be unlucky. My elders and children would be unlucky in this life. If my next generation doesn't suddenly have a noble person to help me, my life will be rough and I will end up depressed. Even my grandchildren may live in different places and decline if they live close to each other."

"..."

Don't tell me yet.

After hearing what He Daqing said, He Yuzhu also had a feeling.

The guy opposite seems to be a real master.

The calculation is really accurate. . . .

Pooh...

He Yuzhu reacted.

"and then?"

"And of course I just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously."

When He Daqing said this, his expression became a little unnatural.

"But, that fake monk said that this year, no, it's not the New Year yet, it's next year. Next year is my zodiac year, and it conflicts with that noble person. If I can't prevent it in time, I will have bloody disasters starting from the Western calendar year, and each time will be more serious than the last, until I..."

"Yeah, just ordinary shock and fear."

He Yuzhu nodded and commented.

But He Daqing didn't have the time to accompany He Yuzhu to "criticize" him, but continued:

"I didn't expect that since the beginning of the Western calendar, I have been hit by small disasters all the time. I was either hit by a car or hit by a lead bullet from an air rifle that was used to shoot birds. There was even one time when two groups of people were fighting and I was just passing by to stay for a while, and I was hit by a brick thrown at me."

"Ok?"

Now, He Yuzhu discovered the problem.

It stands to reason.

Ever since the last incident of “Xu Damao blocking the door”.

He Yuzhu's school has made significant improvements in the security of "employees' families".

Well, from the beginning of the Western calendar year to now, it has only been one month, and so many things have happened to He Daqing. Those "guards" around He Daqing should have reported it long ago.

But why didn’t He Yuzhu know anything about it?

Could something be going on here?

However, now is obviously not the time to think about it.

Because He Daqing obviously didn't finish his words.

"Plus, that fake monk was really good at acting. He performed things like catching snakes with his bare hands, taking medicine from a distance, and even reading words with his ears. I was really frightened by all these performances."

"And you willingly gave him money to crack it for you?"

He Yuzhu was here and subconsciously responded.

Because, according to the routine.

Isn't this what will happen next?

But unexpectedly, He Daqing shook his head.

"Originally, if that fake monk really wanted to give me money to crack the code for me, I might not have been fooled. However, that fake monk did not mention money at all, but instead taught me a set of cultivation methods."

Having said that, He Daqing got up and went back into the house.

After a while, he came out with something that looked like a pot no matter how you looked at it.

"Look, this is the cultivation tool that fake monk gave me. It's called a cosmic signal receiver. Wear it on your head when you meditate. It helps you receive cosmic signals and thus change your destiny."

"Pfft~~~"

He Yuzhu couldn't hold it back and sprayed it out directly.

I remembered.

He Yuzhu remembered everything.

In later life, when He Yuzhu was still young, there was a family gathering at home.

The whole family was eating and chatting, and some adults, who had drunk too much, started talking about the embarrassing things that happened to everyone present.

There is one thing that is very similar to what happened to He Daqing this time.

According to what the family member said.

At that time, the person in the family who looked very similar to He Daqing also became a little crazy in his practice.

I spent a lot of money to buy a lot of "peripherals" for practicing qigong recommended by the qigong "master".

However, there are differences.

That person’s family still has some money, so they don’t have to mortgage their entire house.

Speaking of Qigong.

That's something to talk about.

Let's just put it that way.

Many movies produced in Hong Kong in the 90s were shot using "qigong" as a "gimmick".

For example, several films by Stephen Chow.

But that was only about ten or twenty years.

In the eyes of people in the 20s, the so-called Qigong is actually divided into two types.

One is what the general public believes, that it is a pure scam.

Moreover, this scam has been popular for more than 10 years.

The other one is a bit niche.

These "minorities" believe that the world is divided into two "levels".

One "level" is the "ordinary level" that everyone can see.

Another level is the "supernatural level" that ordinary people cannot see.

Speaking roughly.

Yes, it is the classification of "modern supernatural, fantasy, spiritual revival, and cultivation" in the novel website.

Then, naturally, "Qigong" really exists.

Talk about it.

Although He Yuzhu is a real "time traveler".

However, He Yuzhu still belongs to the "general public" category.

I have always believed that the "qigong" that is popular in this era is pure scam.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu understood.

Why didn't the people around He Daqing report the fraud this time?

Can understand.

After all, this era.

It's really a "qigong" craze.

"Laugh, what's so funny?"

Perhaps, He Yuzhu was so focused on recalling the past that he couldn't control the expression on his face.

So, He Daqing over there was a little "angry and embarrassed".

He Yuzhu quickly waved his hands.

"No, I didn't laugh. I really didn't laugh."

Having said that, He Yuzhu simply changed the subject.

"Oh, by the way, Dad, if that's all, then why did Xiao He Wen say that you can't be persuaded? Don't you already know that you've been cheated? Why, do you still want to borrow money to be cheated?"

"No."

When this matter was mentioned, He Daqing sat down depressed.

"Originally, I was planning to go talk to that fake monk when he was giving a lecture in the evening. According to the rules of the underworld, if I tell him, he has to do it, even if it's just to return the deed to me. But I happened to meet Xiaowen when he came back. I don't know how Xiaowen found out that I had been paying for lectures recently, so he thought I would have to spend money again. I didn't want to tell him these cheap things, so I just let it go."

After saying that, He Daqing helplessly started smoking again.

"Pfft".

Looking at the depression on He Daqing's expressionless face, He Yuzhu smiled unkindly again.

"Okay, old man, don't be depressed. Call little He Wen and the three of us will go there together. We will definitely be able to get your money and house back."

"It's not good, right? After all, you and Xiaowen are both sea wings, why do you have to get involved in these messy and dirty things?"

He Daqing said this without any hesitation.

The head was shaking.

To be honest, this is the first time I have seen He Yuzhu.
