That afternoon, I was hiking around in that village, hoping to meet the two children on the village road. If I could meet them, my next meal would be settled because they ate my field meat.

However, when the sun was about to set, they did not see them appear again.

There was no way, so I had to continue rushing.

After climbing over a hill, I saw a county town appearing in front of me. The county town is in a small basin and does not look big at all.

Where there is a county town, there must be a place for me to eat and sleep.

At the gate of the county town, I saw a young nanny holding a boy about two years old in his hand. The boy should be a child from a wealthy family. It can be seen from his outfit. He also wore a gold collar around his neck, which looked very valuable.

A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties flashed out of the city gate. I saw him grimacing at the child, which made the child laugh. He said, "My baby looks so handsome. There is no more handsome doll in the world than my baby." The little nanny smiled happily when he heard him praise the child in his arms like this.

The middle-aged man took off the golden collar on the child's neck and said to the child: "Call uncle, call him uncle quickly, call him uncle, I will give it to you if you call him uncle."

The nanny said, "I can't call you yet."

The middle-aged man said, "Why can't you scream? I heard him scream last time at his house."

The nanny thought that the middle-aged man was a relative of the child, so she watched the middle-aged man's performance with joy.

The middle-aged man was in the position of leaving and said to the child: "If you call uncle, I will give it to you. If you don't call me, you will really leave."

When the child saw the middle-aged man playing with him, he screamed happily.

The middle-aged man hid outside the city wall with a golden collar and shouted, "Let's go." Suddenly, the child flashed out. When he saw him appear suddenly, he thought he was doing hide-and-seek, so he was so happy that he danced with joy.

The middle-aged man walked into the city gate and put a golden collar on the child's neck. He praised the child's appearance a few times. Then he took off the golden collar and walked outside the city wall: "Call me, uncle, and leave if you don't call me."

This time, middle-aged people stayed behind the city wall for a longer time.

The child and the nanny were waiting for the middle-aged man to appear. The middle-aged man suddenly appeared behind the city wall again and shouted: "Uncle is here." The child was made to laugh again.

The middle-aged man put the golden collar around the child's neck, then praised the child a few more words, took off the golden collar again, and hid it behind the city wall.

The nanny and the child were waiting for the middle-aged man to appear again, but he did not wait until he appeared. The nanny hurriedly ran out of the city with the child in his arms, and then he found that there was no sign of the middle-aged man outside the city.

In broad daylight, in the streets where people came and went, middle-aged people easily deceived their children's golden collar.

That day, the person who cheated the child's golden collar gave me a great insight. I saw with my own eyes that a person could easily cheat something very valuable by relying on small tricks. Although I was young, I knew that gold was very valuable, and that golden collar was even more valuable.

I think the fundamental reason why this middle-aged man was able to cheat this golden collar was that he had deceived the nanny. As long as he gained the trust of the other party, he would listen to whatever you said.

In fact, this is the trick of scams. Any kind of scam in the world needs to gain the trust of the other party first. In the years that followed, I thought what I saw this afternoon, and I felt that I had the talent to be a liar. Such a profound truth, and a child who was only ten years old, actually thought of it.

Circus used to steal, while middle-aged people cheated. Stealing has many risks, such as being afraid of being discovered and being bitten by a dog. Every step is full of risks, and cheating is not at all risk, because it gains your trust and you obediently send money to his hands. It is much faster than stealing money, and cheating is much simpler than stealing money.

That afternoon, the middle-aged man was my enlightenment master, and I got the insights of life here.

In this life I want to be a liar, not a thief.

That night, I walked into the county town and saw that the fire in front of a restaurant had not yet gone out, and a thick layer of coal was covered with it. I was about to spend a night here that was no longer cold. However, I had just warmed up all over and came from the street with a group of Beggars' Gang people. They were dragging sticks one by one. Seeing me standing by the fire, I drove me away with sticks. I was afraid of being beaten and left quickly.

One of the Beggars' Sect said: "This is our territory, you get away."

I had to wrap my cotton coat tightly and walk into the unobstructed wind of the street. Later, I came to the gate of the Chenghuang Temple. I thought there must be no one here, so I pushed the door and walked in.

Last night, I lived in the temple and was caught; tonight, I lived in the temple again, and I was worried about being caught again, so I used the stone bench at the door to hold the temple door against it.

I lay on the incense table again, spreading my limbs comfortably, trying to have a good sleep. Suddenly, I heard the Buddha statue speak and he said, "Little donor, why are you sleeping in front of me?"

I was so scared that I was scattered and wanted to escape, but the temple gate was blocked by a stone bench.

I knelt on the ground, my whole body was like a sieve. At this moment, in this City God Temple, which smells of old smoke, there was only me and a Buddha statue that could talk. Fear covered my whole body like cold. Could it be that I did too many bad things that alarmed the gods? I wanted to shout for help, but it seemed like cotton was stuffed in my throat and couldn't shout it out. In fact, even if I shouted out loud, no one could hear it. Every city big and small city God Temple was built very magnificently and vastly, and the City God Temple was generally built in sparsely populated places in the city, because every year, such as the Spring Festival and the Qingming Festival, there are many people coming to the City God Temple to pray for gods and worship Buddhas. Building in downtown areas will affect traffic and will also have fire hazards.

The Buddha statue spoke again, and he said, "I can see that you have done something bad, right?"

I remembered my days in the circus, and quickly agreed and nodded.

The Buddha statue said: "What do I ask you now? What do you want to answer truthfully? If you dare to have a lie, you will immediately bleed and die from all seven orifices."

I quickly agreed.

"Where are you from?"

"I don't know either. I was sold by human traffickers. I can't remember the name of my hometown."

"May I have your name?"

"I'm a dumb dog."

"Well, it's Daigou. I have all the records of what Daigou does. Say, what bad things have you done?"

I thought about it carefully and felt that I did a lot of bad things, and I couldn't say them. However, since the Buddha statue was asking me and he had mastered all the bad things I did, I no longer hide them. I started from being a spy in a circus and talking about **** that had eaten Cui'er...

"Is Cui'er**** big? Is it fragrant? Is Cui'er beautiful?"

I said, "Cui'er is very beautiful. I have never seen anyone more beautiful than her. Her **** is big and fragrant."

The Buddha statue suddenly laughed, and he said, "At a young age, you dare to break the precepts of adultery. You will suffer a bloody disaster within three days. At that time, you will be eaten by a wild dog."

When I heard that I was eaten by dogs, I was very scared. I had seen dogs eating dead bodies. Some people who were wandering in a foreign land died, and the locals hurriedly buried them, and the next day they were dug out and eaten by wild dogs. The wild dogs who ate human corpses had their eyes red and red, and they would pounce on them to attack when they saw living people.

I kowtowed and shouted, "I don't want it, I don't want it, I don't want it to be eaten by wild dogs."

The Buddha statue said: "If you don't want to be eaten by a wild dog, you can do it. Take out all the money you have on, put it on the incense table, leave quickly, and don't look back. You can't come here again within a year. If you look back, if you come back, the retribution will be fulfilled immediately."

I cried and said, "I don't have money."

The Buddha statue seemed very angry, and he said, "What do you have?"

I said, "I have nothing, but this cotton coat on my body."

The Buddha statue was silent for a while and said, "Well, you turn around and face the temple gate. If I kick you three times, you will be spared from the bloody disaster."

I obediently turned over, facing the temple gate, waiting to be kicked. The Buddha statue is so tall and his legs are so thick. If he kicks me three times, wouldn't he kick me apart? But I don't have money to give it to him, so I can only be kicked.

There was a sound of footsteps behind me, and it stopped behind me. Then, I was kicked in my butt in pain. I wanted to shout, but I didn't dare.

After three kicks, the voice behind him said, "Turn around."

I turned around and suddenly saw a tall and thin black shadow standing behind me.

I was in skepticism, and the black shadow suddenly burst into laughter. He said to me, "How is it, how is my scam? Have you been fooled?"

When I saw a person standing in front of me, I was no longer afraid. I asked him angrily: "Why do you want to tease me?"

The man said arrogantly: "Teaching you? I want to tease everyone in the world, from high-ranking officials to grassroots people. Do you know who I am?"

I asked, "Who are you?"

He said proudly: "I am a master of physiognomy. If I use a little trick, you will be trapped. If you are a young man tonight, you will not give me everything you have."

I have heard of physiognomy. In layman's terms, physiognomy is a kind of person who predicts the fate of a person's life and avoids disasters and seeks blessings. Such people often wander on the country roads. They walk as light as the wind. How can ordinary people talk to them? They always look unfathomable, as if they are not in the world. In fact, they are mysterious and unfathomable, and no one can know what they are thinking all day long.

I was desperate and came to the City God Temple to live in. Why would Master Feishu come here? I was puzzled and asked him: "What are you doing here at night?"

He said: "We can meet tonight because we are destined to be together. You are homeless and I am homeless. We will walk around the world with our companions in the future. Is it OK?"

I was overjoyed and being able to walk around the world with a master of physiognomy was a beautiful thing that I didn't even dare to think about. I quickly said, "Okay."

He said, "You told me everything about you, and I told you everything about me. I got to have a woman. I slept at her house the night before yesterday. In the middle of the night, the man who was doing business came back from another place and blocked me in the house. I gave him all the valuable things on myself and let me go. I couldn't stay in that place, so I came here."
