After another night, he ate his breakfast in the morning. Then, he said to little Shami, ”Let's not just focus on getting help from others. I will personally walk around the city and perhaps find Yuan Ming.”

Little Shamei said, ”Master is right. If you are fated, you may meet each other when you go out. However, whether or not someone finds you, you have to come back. I'll prepare dinner for you. ” Little Shamei was timid. She always felt lonely in the temple, especially when it was night time. He walked Farmer out to the street and repeated his instructions.

For the time being, Fa Ming bade farewell to Little Shamei and strolled to the pier. He saw that the people in front of him were bustling with noise and excitement. He stopped under a tree by the side of the road, enjoying the cool air as he watched the bustling scene on the dock. The sound of the whistle could be heard as large and small boats shuttled back and forth on the water. Merchant ships, some anchoring, some in the shore, the people ship a small number of ocean-going ships.

As soon as a merchant ship was docked, a large group of stevedores swarmed forward, set up a gangplank, and began to carry loads and bags of goods from the ship to the shore. Some people were bent over from the weight of the goods on their shoulders, finding it difficult to walk! Some carried goods on their shoulders, but they were able to run forward. The overseer wore a cold hat, was dressed in white, and carried a whip in his hand as he patrolled the area. He saw the laborer struggling to walk under the weight of the goods and urged him to do so. He even casually lashed out with his whip. The workers were tired and kept wiping off their sweat with towels.

When he looked back, he saw that not far from him, by the side of the road, there was a stall. The old man was wearing a long gown and a small cap. The old man spoke with confidence, and the woman panicked. Around them sat more than a dozen dockworkers, also chatting and laughing merrily. Farmer also moved closer, sitting to the side and listening to their jokes. After a short while, the workers who were unloading the boats came over and sat down and joked around. The more people there were, the more they laughed. Some talked about work, some made fun of each other, and some talked about business and politics.

There was a sturdy young man in his twenties who was so tired that he was sweating. He was the last to enter the crowd. He took off a towel from his waist and wiped the sweat off his face. He smiled and said to Mr. Divination, ”Sir, please give me a divination to see how the fortune is. I will give you 10 copper coins.”

The old man looked at him and said, ”You gave us quite a bit of money. We meet every day, I don't think you need to worry about that. Save a few copper coins. If you are willing to work like this, don't say that you have a vast source of wealth, you will definitely be very proud of yourself in the future, your ambition will always be as great as ever, and you will soon reach great heights. As long as you are sincere and able to persevere, everything will be fine. You are born with a natural destiny, and you have the help of a noble. ”

A young man at the side hurriedly said: ”I don't know if this old gentleman is making it up or if he is just acting, but he is really good at it!” Brother Mi, you should be the one counting here to make more money. For these auspicious words, you should also give the old man 10 copper coins. Brother Mi is going to be rich, aren't we? ”

Many people immediately agreed, ”Yes, you're right!” Brother Mi, pay up! ” The young man took out the money and handed it over with a smile on his face. However, the old man shook his head and refused. He said, ”I'll give you a few words. I don't want money, I don't want money.”

The young man was happy in his heart, but he still asked, ”Sir, do you believe what you said? Is it true?” It was unknown whether the old man was deliberately flattering him or if it was true, but at the same time, he spoke with confidence, ”Rest assured! Although your life is filled with countless calamities, having good luck is fated by the heavens. Seeing your expression, I can already see Mai Kaixin. ”

When the youth heard this, he was overjoyed. ”In this life, I do not seek to become an outstanding individual. I only wish to gather 2,000 yuan as soon as possible.”

The old man shook his head and said, ”You can't have that much money here with your strength. If you work here and earn money, you can only live with your money. ”

One of the people at the side immediately scolded the old man: ”You, sir, were right when you said it, but why are you saying it in such a shabby way? Why aren't you continuing to flatter me? Do you know what Brother Mi is doing with all this money? The patient in the garden was in love with him, and he wanted to help him. How can you be cold? Can't speak! ”Just take it.”

When the old man heard this, he truly regretted it and said, ”So you did it for the sake of a lover. This old man has, this old man has!”

A mischievous young man said, ”Brother Mi was so single-minded about his illness that he was about to go crazy. What do you mean, Brother Mi is even crazier? He wants to go to brothels every day. You should say: before the tenth day, you can fly an ocean. ”

There were also people who were whispering to each other, ”Brother Mi is good at everything, but he loves entering brothels.” The brothels in Tianjin are about to let him go through them all, so he won't be able to save money. ” Someone teased him, ”Stop bullshitting. Brother Mi doesn't go to brothels every day, but he didn't go yesterday.” The crowd burst into laughter.

The young man had difficulty speaking, but his laughter made him feel embarrassed. Some of them were a little older, but he knew something and got angry for the young man. He got up and said, ”Keep some bitterness in your words and go home. Was he making fun of her in front of everyone? I explained for him that the two of them were originally husband and wife and had been separated. Brother Mi had to go through a lot to find his wife in the brothel. Whom would you do such a thing to? What's there to make fun of? ”

Everyone immediately fell silent. That person said, ”We have a lot of people here and we're all poor brothers. We should gather some money to help him out.”
