Chapter 74: Old Patient
Among the second generation that Zhang Dadao knew, Wang Erxiao had the least contact with him and was the one who trusted him the least. Since he didn't believe that Zhang Dadao had any special abilities, he naturally didn't have a good face for him. With the exchange meeting just around the corner, Wang Erxiao, who was already very busy, met Zhang Dadao, who loved to make trouble, so he was naturally more cautious about Zhang Dadao. When he heard that Zhang Dadao wanted to borrow something, his first reaction was: "Oh no! What kind of tricks does this damn Taoist want to do again?"
Zhang Dadao said calmly, "If you don't let me set up a stall, I'll set up one outside! I'll also give you some information. It won't affect your business, right?"
"Hiss~" Wang Erxiao took a breath, frowned and began to worry about Zhang Dadao's problem. This matter seemed to him to be a bit difficult to handle. If he agreed, he really couldn't guess what Zhang Dadao would do? It might affect his reputation. But if he didn't agree, he would be very upset to see this guy staying in front of him, so it would be better to let him bother someone else.
Wang Erxiao pondered for a while and felt that given the quality of his customers, they would not bother with Zhang Dadao. And looking at Zhang Dadao's usual behavior, he was obviously not the kind of person who would pester him. After thinking about it, Wang Erxiao made a decision in his heart, but he was still a little hesitant and said, "Okay! I'll lend it to you, but I'll be honest, you can't pester me and scare my customers!"
Zhang Dadao swore repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry! We are all family, how can we ruin our own business? When opening a door to do business, mutual consent is the first priority. You don't even know who I am!" Zhang Dadao said with a wink.
Wang Erxiao cursed: "Who the hell is your own person! I'm worried because I know too well what kind of person you are! If it's consensual, then I won't issue my card!"
Zhang Dadao smiled and said as he pulled Wu Datou along, "That's right. Reputation comes first when walking in the underworld. You've already agreed! I know from looking at you that you're not the kind of person who doesn't keep his word and goes back on his word. Look how thin you are! You have a great body!"
"You're a grown man and you praise my figure? Isn't that disgusting? Get out of here, get out of here!" Wang Erxiao yelled and cursed, then picked up a threw it at Zhang Dadao!
Zhang Dadao pulled Wu Datou all the way around to the back of the villa, found a worker to move a table and chairs to the place where the furniture was placed, and walked towards the front of the villa. There was not much open space near the villa. Wang Erxiao's car was parked in the garage, and with Long Ge's car, there was no room for other cars. There was a small open space not far from the villa, and the path in the woods just connected the villa and the open space.
Zhang Dadao asked Wu Datou and the worker to carry the things to this road. He looked around with the military compass in his hand, found a tree and said, "Come on, put it here! This is the best place!"
Wu Datou and the worker put down their things. The worker looked at Zhang Dadao's Taoist attire and said with a smile, "Oh, Taoist priest, you have to consider Feng Shui when placing the tables and chairs? You are really particular!"
Zhang Dadao nodded and said seriously, "It has to be done carefully! This tree can't get any sun! I've seen it for sure!"
The worker was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Well? Isn't it about Feng Shui? Hey, I'm leaving first, you take your time." After saying that, he shook his head and left.
Wu Datou looked around and nodded, "Brother Taoist priest, have you checked this place in advance? This place is really a must-go place! And they have to get off the car and walk over. They can see your stall at a glance. Business is booming!"
Zhang Dadao nodded proudly and was very satisfied with his arrangements. He couldn't help but take out the pack of cigarettes that Ye Hao had taken from him, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep puff and said, "This cigarette is really good, much better than what I smoked before!" Zhang Dadao thought of the days when he was in the Seventh Hospital. Whether you could smoke there depended entirely on what kind of cigarettes the new patients brought, or they would steal from the doctors and nurses. It was worth making a trip out just to be able to smoke freely!
Wu Datou curled his lips, smiled and said a few words, then took the opportunity to say: "Brother Taoist priest, you see there is nothing for me to do here! How about I go back to help first, and then I will bring you lunch at noon?"
Zhang Dadao nodded, put down the sign box, pen and paper on the table, and waved his hand to send Wu Datou away. When Wu Datou left, only Zhang Dadao was left. Zhang Dadao set up the stall, but he forgot one thing, this exchange meeting will start in the afternoon, it's past 8 o'clock in the morning, who has so much free time to come here now!
The people who attended the exchange meeting were all well-off bosses, and they all had a lot of things to do. No matter how free they were, they would not come here so early in the morning. Zhang Dadao waited for a while, and except for catching a few insects, he didn't see anyone. The sequelae of being woken up by someone instead of waking up naturally set in. He could not help but doze off. Zhang Dadao nodded his head a few times and fell asleep on the table.
Zhang Dadao didn't know how long he had slept, but suddenly he heard a rustling sound. He woke up and squinted his eyes for a while, and found that it was a cat coming out of the bushes. Zhang Dadao sighed, took out his phone and took a look, and whispered, "Damn, I only slept for an hour and a half?"
Just as he was about to lie down and rest, he noticed someone coming from the other side of the road. Zhang Dadao was also stunned. The direction of this person was strange. He did not come from the parking lot, but from another fork road. That fork road led to another villa.
"Raising grass and catching rabbits, this business is here! There are no poor people who can live here, so I will rob the rich to help the poor!" Zhang Dadao suddenly became energetic, put his legs together and sat cross-legged on the chair, with the cushion he brought with him under his buttocks. Zhang Dadao closed his eyes slightly and recited a scripture he had read from somewhere in a neither loud nor low voice: "The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao. Therefore, knowing is knowing, and emptiness is color. A pound of watermelon costs two yuan and two cents. Heaven and earth are not kind, the door to all wonders! No gifts during festivals, only thirteen spices!"
Zhang Dadao's chanting rhythm was special. Although the speed was not fast, it was very difficult to hear clearly what he was chanting. Occasionally, two sentences were clear, which happened to be those mysterious things. Zhang Dadao chanted for a while and thought that the person should be nearby. But he didn't notice any movement. He carefully opened his eyes a little and took a peek, but he was stunned. His eyes widened all of a sudden.
When he looked over, he saw a little fat boy in a T-shirt and shorts, holding a game console and standing in front of him, looking at him in shock. Zhang Dadao moved his mouth, but before he could speak, the little fat boy dropped the thing in his hand to the ground, jumped back a distance in shock, pointed at Zhang Dadao and shouted: "Oh my god! Little Taoist priest? When were you discharged from the hospital? Didn't they say you couldn't be cured?"
Zhang Dadao was also stunned. He touched his chin and said, "Fatty? Why are you here? Do you live here?" Zhang Dadao really didn't expect that he was going to trick someone, but ended up meeting an old patient from that year!
