Yuan Tiangang once made a bet with an old farmer. It was a shoo-in, but why did it turn out to be a fiasco?

Because the old farmer suffers from rheumatism, his legs will start to hurt before it rains, so he decides that it will rain in the future. When Yuan Tiangang saw the celestial phenomena, he said that it would not rain in the future, so they made a bet. Finally, it rained. Yuan Tiangang lost to the old farmer, but Yuan Tiangang actually lost to the old farmer's rheumatism leg.

In ancient China, fortune tellers were particularly respected. In the eyes of ordinary people, fortune tellers know not only astronomy, but also geography. They can also observe the face and guess the future of this person. This is what ordinary people can't do. For those fortune tellers who are considered to be accurate, ordinary people always entertain them warmly, for fear of being cursed for their poor hospitality. So ordinary people regard fortune tellers as living immortals, and Yuan Tiangang is the touted fortune teller. Yuan Tiangang can not only calculate whether Wu Zetian can become a queen, but also calculate her own date of death. But before he became famous, he once lost to an old farmer. That day, Yuan Tiangang passed by a farmhouse. Wan Li clearly, he heard the old farmer talking to himself. Hey, it is going to rain. I have to put away my clothes quickly, or I'll get wet soon? After seeing the astronomical phenomena, Yuan Tiangang put forward the opposite view. He said to the old farmer. Uncle, I just watched the weather forecast. I wonder if it will rain later. . The old man smiled and said to Yuan Tiangang. Young man, let's make a bet. If it rains later, you can buy me a drink. If it doesn't rain, I can buy you a drink. How's it going? Yuan Tiangang readily agreed. Unexpectedly, a few minutes later, dark clouds were gathering and it began to rain slowly. Yuan Tiangang is puzzled. He said to the old farmer, no, I just figured out that it won't rain, old man. Where are you from? The old man smiled and said: I am not a master, I am just a bad old man. .

Under Yuan Tiangang's inquiry, the old farmer explained the reason. He said? I use one of my legs to judge. Every time before it rains, my legs ache. This time, my legs are sore again. So I said it was going to rain? Yuan Tiangang was persuaded by the old farmer and invited him to drink. Through this incident, Yuan Tiangang felt that his fortune-telling skills were not at home, so he studied hard and finally became an immortal.
