Chapter 13 3. Horoscope determines fate

Numerology practitioners believe that there are specific symbols in the horoscope for which line of work a person should do and which occupation he is suitable for.Everyone wants to be good, and they are all greedy for those careers that are full of glory, but the fortune teller will let go of your horoscope and know that you are not that material.The Bazi theory holds that: to be an official, one must have a prosperous official star and use it as a god of happiness; for a businessman, one must have a shining star of wealth; The "Hua Gai", "Jiang Xing" and "Wenchang" mentioned by Huang Daocheng are all the terms of gods and demons in the four pillars. "Hua Gai" originally refers to the umbrella on the head of the Jade Emperor. This is where the "lone star" came from. Mr. Lu Xun also lamented "what do you want for the transportation of Huagai, you have not dared to turn over and have already met?" Ability; "Wenchang", the main subject A, learning, similar to "Wenquxing", most of the top talents have this star.

Although these superstitious theories have long been criticized by countless sages, Huang Daocheng still plays with them pedantically.Huang Farong is talented and has an extraordinary memory. He quickly memorized the five elements and eight trigrams, the heavenly stems and the earthly branches, and then dabbled in techniques such as Sizhu, Liuyao, Qimen, Liuren Shenke, and Ziwei Doushu. At this time, he is already well-known in the village for pushing his fate. But there are four sisters, Huang Farong, and she is the senior.In rural areas, if there are many brothers and sisters, then it must be the eldest who suffers, and she does all the work.Needless to say, cooking, feeding pigs, and taking care of younger siblings, if you are a little careless, you will be scolded and beaten by your irritable father.Moreover, her parents did not approve of her learning these things. They said: "A girl, just learn a little needlework, and you can get married when you grow up! Learn some nonsense things, and let's see how you live after passing the door!"

The turning point of fate happened when Huang Farong was 14 years old.This summer, her father mentioned a marriage to her, saying that she and her second aunt's cousin were "married by the fingertips", and this marriage was arranged before she was born. Huang Farong became angry as soon as she heard it, she knew this cousin, he was honest, but being too honest would be stupid.Huang Farong thinks she is extremely smart and her heart is higher than the sky. The man in her mind must be talented and knowledgeable, so she refuses to agree to it. As the wedding day approaches, the second aunt often comes to the house as a guest.The old lady saw the signs, and the niece seemed reluctant. Seeing that the cooked duck was about to fly, she brought generous gifts every time she came.

In the feudal era, the status of women was low, and the marriage contract was equivalent to a contract, and the woman would be severely punished for breaking the contract.Huang Farong's parents decided: Even if they tie her up, they must give the girl to the other party! Huang Farong ran to her grandpa's house and said with tears, "Grandpa, grandpa, what should I do?" The old man burst into tears: "Rong'er, grandpa can't help you this time, it's fate!" If it's an ordinary girl, it's okay, but she is Huang Farong, and she has the guts at the age of 14.She ran away, escaped from marriage, took a bag, stuffed a few big cakes in it, and ran away from home overnight.I ran all the way to the south, gnawed big pancakes when I was hungry, and kowtowed to people for a bowl of water when I was thirsty. Later, I climbed on the train, passed through Jiangsu, Anhui, and Zhejiang, and went straight to Fujian.

When she arrived in Fujian, Huang Farong stopped running. She felt that she was far enough away that her family would not be able to find her.She let out a long breath, feeling extremely relaxed and happy. She thought she was free and the road ahead was bright and smooth.If she knew that she would be involved with a gangster organization in the years to come and pay a terrible price for it, she would never be so happy at this moment, and even regretted running away from home. Living in Fujian, Huang Farong first had to solve the problem of survival. Even though she was saving food, the few pancakes were not enough. She knew fortune-telling, but she was too young to be believed.When she was at home, she was in the light of her grandpa. Sometimes when the tester came, grandpa asked her to do a divination first.Now alone outside, who would trust a 14-year-old yellow-haired girl?

She can only beg.Begging is not so easy, beggars all have territory, and outsiders begging will be driven away.Sometimes, as soon as she got two copper coins, she would be snatched away by a group of beggars.A little girl, small and weak, couldn't beat those wild boys, and ended up picking rotten food from the garbage dump to satisfy her hunger. After several days of suffering from hunger and cold, the rotten food began to churn in her stomach. Within a few days, Huang Farong fell ill, burning in a daze, lying on the side of the road, quietly waiting to die. In a coma, she felt that someone was hugging her up. She tried hard to open her eyes, but she couldn't open them no matter what, and passed out again in a daze.When she woke up again, she found herself lying in a warm room. She blinked, thinking that she was dead, that she was in heaven, and she was just thinking about it, when a warm face leaned over her.

"Child, are you awake?" It was Jiang Feiyan.That day, Jiang Feiyan happened to be taking a few Ah Baos to discuss matters with the local "Huidaomen" in Fujian. In the evening, when they returned to the inn, they passed by an alley and saw Huang Farong who was on the verge of death. The "Jiang Xiang faction" is a group that robs the rich and helps the poor, and Jiang Feiyan is a kind-hearted person. Seeing this scene, she ordered the little feet to take Huang Farong back to the inn without hesitation. Huang Farong stared blankly at the graceful and luxurious woman in front of her, not knowing what to say.Huang Farong was born in the countryside, and she had seen little of the world. For 14 years, she had only dealt with rural people in rags, and lived in a dark and damp adobe house. Now she is lying in this clean and warm room, standing in front of such a noble Woman, she thought she was really in heaven.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Jiang Feiyan said softly, "Son, it's all right." Huang Farong still stared at Jiang Feiyan in a daze, quietly, without speaking, with her lips tightly closed. After a long time, I finally understood that I was still alive, and then tears filled my eyes and rolled down the corners of my eyes. Jiang Feiyan bent down and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "Son, don't cry, don't cry." "Mother—" Huang Farong called softly. "My child...you..." Jiang Feiyan was shocked. "Mother—" Huang Farong stretched out her little hand and hugged Jiang Feiyan tightly, tears streaming down her face.

The two "mother" calls made Jiang Feiyan feel sore. She knew that the girl in front of her had suffered too much trauma and suffering. Calling a stranger "mother" was a longing for family affection and maternal love. Jiang Feiyan remembered her past, and she was also abandoned by her parents.A girl who is Po is either a kiln sister who was sold to a kiln by her parents, or a beggar without father and mother, or a murderer who can't bear the abuse of her husband and takes risks, and a resentful woman who is "pawned" by her husband to make a living... In short, they were all injured.

Some people died, and some got up and continued to be human beings and became strong men. "Son, don't cry." Jiang Feiyan hugged Huang Farong tightly in her arms. Huang Farong cried even harder: "Mother, please accept me... I will be your cow and horse, and I will serve you for the rest of my life! Just let me be your goddaughter..." "Son, don't be afraid, I won't abandon you." Looking at this poor little guy, Jiang Feiyan had a sore nose and tears fell down her cheeks. Huang Farong showed extreme intelligence at that time. When she found out that she was not dead, she knew that she must catch the woman in front of her and escape from the sea of ​​suffering.Clever, and clever at work.
