Sun Tzu's Blind Fortune Teller _ Who is the Blind Fortune Teller?

Son in sichuan yue:

The dead are like this,

Don't give up day and night

Humans have been measuring time since ancient times, but the demand for measurement accuracy has reached a peak in today's society. The current minute and second accuracy can no longer meet the needs of reality. Imagine that if the difference between minutes and seconds, it will lead to thousands of miles of absurdity for aircraft flying in the vast world.

When I was a child, people who lived in rural areas and were in the stage of agricultural society obviously measured time roughly and with low accuracy. It is normal to farm for a few days in the morning and evening. Why not plough in spring, harvest in summer, harvest in autumn and store in winter in rural areas? Rhododendron urges spring sowing, Pulsatilla urges summer harvest, and Yan returns to show autumn harvest, and Nanfeiyan reports winter storage.

The peasant brothers have already reached a tacit understanding with these natural friends, and have never delayed the farming season. Therefore, farmers' demand for accurate timers is not so urgent. I remember that in our village of several thousand people, there were only two clocks, a watch and an alarm clock.

That watch belongs to the village accountant and is hidden like a treasure. It's rare to see and wear it several times a year. It looks mysterious. I once had a chance to look at that watch. There is a plum blossom on the watch surface, and the glass on the cover is crystal clear. The glass at three o'clock is unusually convex and feels like a small hole. Adults say this is called "punching", which is only available for extremely expensive watches. Through the small hole, I saw the red letters showing the date of the day. What makes me curious is that a watch can read by itself without winding it, as long as it is worn on your wrist. The accountant's uncle went south to Nanyang, where he worked as a boss and had money. He came back from Nanyang with the bracelet.

It is because of that watch that the accountant's status has improved a lot, and he married the most beautiful girl in Shiliba Village. Uncle said that watches are valuable, and a farmer can't save money for ten years without eating or drinking.

The accountant's eldest son is my classmate. As for why their watches can read automatically, I have never understood. I asked him, but he didn't understand. Out of curiosity, I urged him to steal it and open it more than once to see what had happened, but because his father hid it tightly, he could never do it.

Because the accountant's watch is not often read, the villagers are more concerned about the uncle's clock. When it is necessary to specify the time, it is inevitable to ask the uncle.

My uncle is a captain and has a clock at home. Now I can't remember its nameplate clearly. It seems to be a "friendly card". But I remember very clearly that there was a fat hen nodding and pecking rice under the clock, and there seemed to be a few chickens around. Uncle winds the clock once a day, and the chicken will nod tirelessly and peck at the rice. With the pecking, there will be a clear tick. In the dead of night, the sound will be clearer and farther away, and it will sneak into our childhood dreams.

Uncle's family has been handed down from generation to generation, and his son is my cousin named Ah Fu. Ah Fu and Fu Sao gave birth to five children in a row, all girls, but no men. This made my uncle so worried that he couldn't eat, so Sister Afu took back a boy from nowhere and named him A Bing. A Bing is the same age as me. He has never met his real parents. There is also a saying that he is an illegitimate child and his mother gave him away as soon as he was born.

According to adults' memories, A Bing almost starved to death when he was transferred to his cousin's hand, and his crying was extremely low, like a kitten on the roof. It was the middle of winter, freezing, wrapped in old clothes, and I had to lift several floors to see him. He is as thin as a kitten, with big eyes and a thin neck. Everyone is beating gongs and drums, worrying about whether he can eat enough. Under the careful care of Mrs. Fu, she finally survived. Because there is a man living in Afukang, my uncle is also comfortable. However, bad luck befell five girls, and three sisters were sent away in stages. Every time I send away a cousin and a sister-in-law, I have to have a big fight and cry. Now I still feel sad when I recall that scene. After all, I was unable to raise a large number of children at that time.

A Bing, who has insufficient breast milk, will not get sick when she grows up, and she is one size younger than her peers. As soon as he became ill, the whole family became ill with him. When he is well, a cage of steamed bread will be steamed at home to mend it for him. The freshly baked steamed bread is cracked, and the smell of new wheat will float over the wall, making me greedy. At the same time, it also triggered my comparative thoughts. I think I'm not less sick. Why do my parents never give me steamed buns? Looking at his treatment and myself, I can't help wondering if I am my parents' own. I think as long as I have steamed bread to eat, I can choose to get sick or even give it away. I still find it ridiculous to be naive in the years of hunger.

Although A Bing has never tasted the coquetry of his biological parents, his cousin loves him more than his biological parents. He is a curious boy, who is curious about everything, loves to ponder, works hard, likes to get to the bottom of things, and especially likes to disassemble mechanical equipment. For this reason, my uncle didn't suffer much, and sometimes he called him a bitch for not grasping the week. Indeed, he doesn't even know his birthday, so why not grasp Zhou?

Whenever A Bing is scolded, Sister Afu will feel wronged and distressed, quarrel with her father-in-law, and even blush.

When he was seven or eight years old, A Bing once took advantage of his uncle's absence to open the alarm clock at home to see what fairy was hidden inside. But my uncle didn't go home, so he couldn't put it back, and the hen in the clock stopped pecking rice, which made him sweat and put it on in a hurry, and there were many more parts. When my uncle came back, he flew into a rage and A Bing pinched his ass.

My cousin had to carefully wrap up all the odds and ends and send them to the town for the clock repairman to install. The flower hen in the clock just came back to life and continued pecking rice, but it cost money and made me feel bad for a long time.

On that day, the whole village ran out of time.

A mother in the village gave birth to a baby boy on the day when A Bing opened the bell and strangled herself. The baby's grandmother's name is Amor. The birth of her grandson made her smile from ear to ear. She hurried to her uncle's house to ask the time.

People in rural areas are like this, and adding a Ding is a great happy event. It is inevitable to write the birth time for children. In the future, please ask the fortune teller to approve a batch of eight characters, calculate the five elements, take a name, remember the genealogy and so on. Of course, announce the good news.

It happened that my uncle's clock was broken by A Bing that day, and the accountant's watch stopped reading. Even on a cloudy day, I can't see the sun, so around five or six o'clock, my uncle had to guess by intuition! Converted into ancient times, it should be Shen Shi or unitary time.

Uncle said: "It's early application time, and late is unified time."

Grandma Amore recorded the birth time of her grandson as Shen's. After the full moon, Amore took this birthday to a fortune teller named "Blind Celebration" in a neighboring village to give her grandson eight characters. The blind man is born blind, but he can knead and calculate. He pinched his finger and calculated, saying, "This boy is short of fire in five elements, so he has to take a fire word in his name to make up for it." So he named it "Huosheng", saying that with fire, the child would still be a big man after ups and downs. Love is both happy and confused.

Time flies.

The fire grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, he broke away from his parents and squeezed into our ranks. He is precocious and extremely intelligent, much younger than us, but he likes to hang out with us.

In the countryside at that time, after the autumn harvest, straw was burned in the fields to start a prairie fire. Scatter piles of straw and wheat straw into the ground. On the night of October 15th of the lunar calendar, Shiliba village collectively set fire to pests and rats in the fields to enhance the fertility of the land and achieve a bumper harvest in the coming year.

It is also a children's day to have a prairie fire. Adults will allow us to run in the fields, set fires everywhere, chase flames and play with fire. This move is generally safe unless you turn around against the wind. Although the fire is small, he likes to set fire to the ground with us. That year, we encountered a reversal of the wind and were suddenly surrounded by wildfires. King of the children led us to break through, but Huo Sheng fell behind. Everyone rushed into the fire again, and it took a lot of effort to lift him out of it. Found that he hurt his leg and couldn't run. Wildfire caused some of his hair to have a fever, shortness of breath and exaggerated chest. The children's king asked us to take turns blowing at him. After some tossing, he was finally saved.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely and the fire survived.

Unlike us, Huosheng is clever, especially in school. He caught up with the good times, successfully entered the university, studied architecture, and joined the government as a cadre after graduation.

After taking part in the work, because of his ability and diligence, he was quickly reused. A few years ago, it coincided with urban expansion, demolition and construction. Because of his outstanding achievements in the renovation and demolition of the old city, he was promoted to vice mayor before he was forty years old. Since then, the villagers have seen him more often on TV than in life, and the whole village will be proud of him.

At this point, the villagers will also talk about the fire that almost burned a deputy mayor into a baked sweet potato.

Just as the fire officer was as busy as a bee, there was an arson in a shack area to be rebuilt in the city. After in-depth investigation, Huo Sheng was suspected of hinting and conniving in this case, so he ate melons and went to prison. Then he copied a lot of cash and valuables from home, including no less than ten expensive watches.

The fire caused an accident. Grandma Amor is nearly ninety years old, and her children are worried that the old man can't accept it and have been hiding it from her. It is said that the fire made a difference, but the old man waited for his grandson to appear on TV. He didn't wait to die in the chair in front of the TV.

Huo was born in prison, but his family was busy outside for him.

His father was desperate. He went to the neighboring village and prayed for a solution from the old fortune teller and the blind man. Man Qing, a blind man, carefully analyzed the fate changes of Huosheng for more than 40 years and carefully asked, "Do you remember the exact birth time of your son?" After asking this question, the old man recalled that the captain's clock broke down on the day of the fire, and the time was estimated to be between Shenshi and Youshi. Hearing this, Man Qing, a blind man, calculated the birth of Youshi. Finally, he said, "If you were born in Youshi, then the five elements belong to fire. If you add a fire to your name, your life will be finished. " ……

So, the two old people relived the old story that had been dusty for many years: because of the naughty behavior of an urchin, the only clock in the village stopped for one day, so they mistakenly remembered a person's birth time and chose the wrong name, which decided a person's fate.

Two helpless old people connect these unrelated fragments in series and use a mysterious knowledge to analyze the causal cycle of a person's bumpy fate, which really makes people laugh and cry.

The story of time is endless.

When I grow up, I devoted myself to sailing and became an international sailor. I have the opportunity to go abroad. The first time I went out to sea, I chose a watch with clubs on the dial for myself. The back of the watch is still transparent, so you can clearly see the relaxation of the movement and hairspring, and how the eccentric wheel accumulates rest kinetic energy when the arm accidentally falls, and converts it into a second hand moving at a constant speed.

That is an ordinary watch, which has accompanied me for more than 30 years and sailed on many oceans in the world.

A Bing was keen on beating all kinds of machinery since he was a child. When he grew up, he founded a mechanical mold factory. With solid work, his career has grown from small to large, and now there are more than 100 employees, and he has become a small boss himself.

A few days ago, I went to the Swiss watch kingdom and strolled in a mountain city called Lu Se. There is a clear lake in the city, reflecting the blue sky, white clouds, cottages and snow-capped mountains in the Alps. There are many watch shops by the lake, and all kinds of famous watches are displayed in the window, which are dazzling with jewels. These make me want to have a good look, and my eyes are dragged. Suddenly, a gold watch caught my eye. I carefully estimated the price tag and converted it into our currency. The result was tongue-tied. Oh, my God, I can't save money for that watch without eating or drinking for ten years.

The high price of that watch surprised me, and it also reminded me of the clock in the village when I was a child, the watch and the people related to it. Captain's uncle, village accountant, cousin, sister-in-law, A Bing, Amore's grandmother, the blind fortune teller and even Huo Sheng, whose fate is bumpy, all come to my mind.

I think: in the old days, we never favored one over the other because of the price of clocks and watches. Just because you have a noble and accurate timepiece doesn't mean that your fate must be wonderful.

This is the story of my times.
