Chapter 298 The Concubine Does Not Harm the Country, She Only Wants to Harm the Imperial Master (Part 2)

What's so strange?

One of them was wearing fine cotton, the other a patched linen shirt, one white, one black, one rich, one poor, there was a strong sense of conflict yet an inexplicable harmony.

What was even stranger was that the fair-looking man had his eyes covered by a piece of fine cotton cloth of the same color as his clothes, and it seemed that he had an eye disease.

The thin and dark one was holding a broken wooden board with a line of words engraved on it: Guide the lost gentleman and awaken the long-trapped hero.

Fortune teller?

Thinking of the troubles that had troubled him all day, Zhao Youcai couldn't help but become interested. He came forward and asked, "Does your fortune-telling work?"

The sudden voice startled Xiao Zhuzi. As a member of the lower class, he subconsciously shrank back when he saw the clothes on Zhao Youcai.

Yu Huo turned his head, raised his pale lips, and replied confidently: "If it doesn't work, I won't charge you."

Xiao Zhuzi didn't even seem to have the courage to look him in the eye, so Zhao Youcai focused all his attention on the clean-looking and gentle young man and asked, "Can the lost item be found?"

Yu Huo nodded and spread out his long, thin palm: "Please write a word first, sir."

Zhao Youcai thought about it, and used his fingertips as a brush to write a word on the white palm.

Yu Huo asked, "Is it the character 'You'?"

Zhao Youcai: "Exactly."

"May I ask what item you lost?"

Zhao Youcai said: "Pearl."

Yu Huo pondered for a moment and said, "It must have been eaten by the chickens at home."

Zhao Youcai hummed, a little surprised: "Eated by a chicken?"

Yu Huo looked confident and chuckled, "This master must be going on a long journey, right? We can't take those animals with us anyway, so why not kill them and drink the soup? We can also check if there's the lost pearl inside."

Zhao Youcai heard that what he said was so convincing that he didn't even bother to eat the noodles. He threw down a few coins and hurried back home, ordering the servants to kill the remaining six chickens.

Sure enough, he found the pearl he lost in the morning in the belly of the only big rooster in the house.

Maybe it was preparing to move in the morning and accidentally dropped the bead on the ground, and was eaten directly by the beast.

Zhao Youcai pinched the pearl and was completely surprised.

Zhao Youcai's wife walked forward curiously and saw the blood-stained pearl in his hand. She immediately exclaimed, "Master, how did you know that this pearl was eaten by our chicken?"

Zhao Youcai rinsed the pearls with water, shook his head and sighed, "I met a fortune teller on the street, and he told me that."

"A fortune teller?" Zhao Youcai's wife stared at him suspiciously. "Have you met someone with real skills?"

Zhao Youcai nodded repeatedly, then stuffed the beads into his wife's hand and said, "Quick, tell the servants to get some silver. I haven't paid them yet."

After saying this, he seemed to remember the other person's skinny figure and blind eyes, and urged: "Take more money and two chickens, I have to thank him properly!"

Xiao Zhuzi looked at Yu Huo, whose eyes were covered with a cloth, worriedly and asked, "Brother Yu, why did you let him go? What if he can't find the things and doesn't pay us, he might even beat us up to vent his anger!"

The more he spoke, the more frightened he became, and he subconsciously wanted to grab Yu Huo and run away.

Yu Huo dodged his outstretched black hand and calmly held a piece of dry grass in his mouth: "Why are you so scared? He will definitely come back soon. Not only will we not get beaten, but we can also make a small fortune."

Xiao Zhuzi was full of disbelief and thought Yu Huo was bragging.

The old fortune tellers have been practicing in the mountains since childhood. How could he, a scholar who became a monk halfway through his career, suddenly open his third eye?

Brother Yu must be starving!

Alas, if those bad guys hadn't come and killed and robbed them a few days ago, Brother Yu would definitely still be living the life of a young master.

To be honest, he didn't want to see Brother Yu get beaten...

Xiao Zhuzi, who was wondering whether to carry Yu Huo away, suddenly heard a noise coming from the front.

The rich man came over with several people. If he hadn't been grinning so hard that his teeth were showing, Xiao Zhuzi and Yu Huo would have had to run away.

He suppressed his fear as he saw the other person approaching, and shrank back.

"Oh, little fairy, thank you so much, I found my pearl!"

Zhao Youcai's voice was so loud that not only did the noodle stall owner look over, but even the indifferent passers-by on the road stopped and looked up at them in surprise.

At this time, Zhao Youcai had his servants hand a silver ingot weighing ten taels to Yu Huo's palm, and waved his hand to have the two plucked chickens stuffed into Xiao Zhuzi's arms: "This money is for the divination, and these two chickens are as a thank you gift, sir. Take them home and make some soup."

Yu Huo put the silver ingot into his arms and said with a smile, "Then I will be disrespectful to refuse it."

After doing all this, Zhao Youcai did not leave.

Yu Huo raised his head, his white chin pointed, standing in the bustling city, looking very out of place with the shabby wooden board.

Although he couldn't see, the young man knew what he was thinking. He pursed his thin white lips slightly and said, "This gentleman..."

Zhao Youcai hurriedly said, "My surname is Zhao."

"Master Zhao." Yu Huo curved his lips and smiled kindly: "What else do you want to ask?"

Zhao Youcai hurriedly said, "Sir, I'm going on a long trip. I just want to ask if this trip is safe."

Yu Huo opened his palm again: "Come and write a word."

Zhao Youcai wrote another word casually.

Yu Huo asked, "But what about the word 'jian'?"

Zhao Youcai: "That's right."

Yu Huo pondered for a moment. For the sake of the silver and the two chickens, he didn't hide anything and concentrated on interpreting the character: "This character is composed of the character for gold. Gold gives birth to water, and water represents the north. Is Mr. Zhao going somewhere in the north?"

Zhao Youcai exclaimed again and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I want to go to the north to seek refuge with my relatives."

The onlookers couldn't help but be stunned by Yu Huo's move. From searching for the lost property to accurately stating Mr. Zhao's destination, everyone looked at him with a strange look in their eyes, and some even seemed eager to try.

Yu Huo didn't pay much attention to these and continued to interpret the characters: "The character 'jian' plus grass and four equals blue, and water equals blue. Grass means wood, wood overcomes earth, and earth overcomes water. This means that Mr. Zhao will have a smooth journey and arrive in four days."

Zhao Youcai was overjoyed when he heard this, and readily took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into his hand: "Thank you very much."

Xiao Zhuzi standing by was stunned.

How long has it been? It's already twenty taels!

He had never seen so much money in his life!

He didn't come to his senses until Mr. Zhao left, and was even almost knocked down by the crowd when people surrounded him and rushed to tell his fortune.

Yu Huo pulled him back at the right moment, and said with a smile to the people scrambling for the fortune in front of him, "Sorry, I only calculate three fortunes a day, and there's one left."

"How much is the divination fee?"

Someone saw Yu Huo accept two silver ingots in succession and asked quietly.

Yu Huo smiled and said, "Any amount is fine, but I only calculate three hexagrams a day."

The woman didn't believe it and asked, "How much is enough? How about a copper coin?"

"OK."

After hearing this, many people who were watching the fun were moved.

Before he could react, the woman immediately took out a copper coin and forced it into Xiao Zhuzi's hand: "I want to settle it!"

Why is it a small pillar?

Maybe Yu Huo's body in this life was a little weak, and he looked like a glass figure with the cloth strips on. The woman was afraid of hurting him, so she could only force the black boy Xiao Zhuzi to buy him.

After paying, she finally remembered and said, "But I can't write. What should I do?"

Yu Huo thought for a moment: "Did you have a dream yesterday?"

"I dreamed, I dreamed! I dreamed yesterday that I became a prisoner. It was so scary..." When she said this, the woman patted her chest in fear, as if she was still in shock.
