Blind people in Xingkai Lake tell fortune.

There is a famous street in the local area called Blind Street. It is said that many blind fortune tellers took root here many years ago, hence the name.

At first, Xia Zi Street was just a rugged alley. On both sides of the alley, there are uneven grocery stores. There are people who shave and have their hair cut, people who change the bottom of reinforced pots, people who tailor clothes and people who sell cigarettes, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. ...

The most distinctive feature is that there are a group of elderly blind people sitting in a row of small folding chairs, carrying rough hand-sewn cloth bags on their shoulders, with slender bamboo sticks that never deviate from the road next to them, holding a lottery box in their hands, constantly shaking and making a crisp sound, attracting passers-by to fortune-telling and lottery.

It was boring at that time. I once asked them to draw lots to calculate my life, just for fun.

I remember deeply that there was a palm reader on the street for the blind. His eyes are not blind.

He sits in a wheelchair all the year round and looks very big. His dark hair was combed naked behind his head, and his beard hung down long enough to be rolled up by hand.

Whether it is sunny or cloudy, he always wears a huge sunglasses on his nose, which covers most of his facial expressions, and it is easy to remind people of those horrible and mysterious characters in the film and television scene.

On his leg, there is often a thick yellow book, which should be a professional book such as the Book of Changes. It's also a living study, and it's sold now.

Whenever someone passes by him, he will shout, "Hey, come and read your palm."

The called person hesitated, slowed down and began to strike up a conversation.

He is always used to peeking at people from above his glasses, which makes people feel scared. An exaggerated pair of sunglasses makes people unable to see the black and white in their eyes.

Ghost, his business is also very good. There is always a circle around the wheelchair to read palms, men, women and children, and there are many beautiful women.

Later, I heard that he was faking it, pretending to be paralyzed, taking advantage of a woman while holding her hand and touching her repeatedly.

Shit! Life is like a play, it all depends on acting! Is this man too good at acting?

So for many years, I really turned a blind eye to him

Today, Xia Zi Street has undergone earth-shaking changes and become the most prosperous area in the area. Elegant storefront, there is no place for blind people at the door.

I think those blind people in the past may be too old to go out to make a living; Yes, maybe he has passed away.

Occasionally, I can see one or two blind people squatting here, but the business is poor and there is no spectacular sight and scale in earlier years.

Blind street is no longer worthy of the name.

Besides, nowadays, all blind people keep pace with the times and open massage shops and physiotherapy shops, which have evolved many times compared with the early lottery fortune telling and their economic income has been many times higher.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the bustling blind street corner is still bustling and crowded.

The palm reader in a wheelchair still haunts the blind street. It's just that people's footsteps mostly bypass his wheelchair in a hurry, and he seems too lazy to be keen on greeting business.

I happened to pass the blind street the other day.

Suddenly, I found that my palm reading was so old that I couldn't read it at once.

His once burly body is gone, his hair is gray and messy, and his beard is sparse. Pant legs, thin and empty, drooped in creaking wheelchairs, and an ankle was exposed in cold weather.

Ouch.

If he has been faking for decades, then the Golden Eagle Hundred Flowers Award in China film industry should belong to him.

It seems that I was wrong about him. I am ashamed of my prejudice.

Some people, in order to survive and make a living, have to fight against "fate". I respect such people from the bottom of my heart

I thought, why don't people read their palms now?

If anyone is interested, just mind his own business. Maybe one day, he won't be in the blind street. ...
