Origin Story

从前,在一个偏远的小山村里,住着两个家庭,这两个家庭的祖上是同宗兄弟,因此他们俩的生活习惯,为人处世的方式以及对事物的看法都惊人的相似。村里的人们常说,这两家的人,简直就是一个模子里刻出来的,做什么事,都同出一辙。 有一天,村里来了一个算命先生,他相貌奇特,穿着打扮也与众不同。村里人对这位算命先生感到很好奇,都想看看这位算命先生究竟有什么本事。于是,算命先生便开始为村民算命,他算命的方式与众不同,他不用任何工具,只是根据人的相貌,以及谈吐来判断这个人一生的命运。 算命先生先给村里李家算命,算完之后,他说李家的人后代会非常富有,家业兴旺,而且子孙满堂。接着,算命先生又给村里王家算命,算完之后,他同样也说王家的人后代会非常富有,家业兴旺,而且子孙满堂。 李家和王家的人听到算命先生的话后,都非常的高兴,他们觉得算命先生算的太准了,毕竟他们两家的祖上同出一辙,所以他们的命运应该也很相似。算命先生的预测结果也印证了这一点。

Once upon a time, in a remote mountain village, there lived two families. The ancestors of these two families were brothers of the same clan, so their lifestyles, ways of dealing with people, and views on things were surprisingly similar. Villagers often said that the people of these two families were almost like twins, doing everything the same. One day, a fortune teller came to the village. His appearance was unusual, and his clothes were different from those of the villagers. The villagers were very curious about this fortune teller and wanted to see what he was capable of. So, the fortune teller started to tell fortunes for the villagers. His method was unusual; he didn't use any tools, and judged a person's life fortune only by their appearance and conversation. The fortune teller started with the Li family. After he was finished, he said that the descendants of the Li family would be very wealthy, their family business would prosper, and they would have many children. Then, the fortune teller told the fortune of the Wang family. After he was finished, he said the same thing: the descendants of the Wang family would be very wealthy, their family business would prosper, and they would have many children. When the Li and Wang families heard the fortune teller’s words, they were very happy. They thought the fortune teller was very accurate because their ancestors were the same, so their fortunes should be very similar, and the fortune teller’s prediction confirmed this.
