After leaving Fan's house, Zhao rushed all the way to the airport. Because Fan Hua was in a coma these days, he had been taking care of her personally and had already taken many days off. The military region had accumulated a lot of government affairs, and he had to go back tomorrow, so he wanted to take advantage of the last day of free time to finish what he needed to do personally.

This time in Guangzhou, he did not go looking for his old friends, but for a tall, one-eyed woman who sold funeral products.

Shortly after he moved into the Yangcheng Military Dependents Housing Complex, he heard Fan Hua talk about a tall, one-eyed woman he met when he bought a housing complex for family members at a textile factory. Fan Hua had said at the time that she was quite capable and could tell right away that she wasn't from this world...

Zhao Yilu had almost forgotten about this person, but a few days ago, when Fan Youcheng was visiting Fan Hua, he casually said, "My sister has been unconscious for the past few days. I'm afraid she's been possessed by an evil spirit. Otherwise, let's find someone to take a look! Brother-in-law, you really shouldn't disbelieve these things. Do you still remember the house where we opened our first photo studio? An old man had just died in the house. I felt eerie when I entered the house. Later, I asked a tall, one-eyed woman to burn some paper money for me. After that, I wasn't afraid at all when I entered the house again..."

Fan Youcheng's words immediately evoked Zhao Yilu's memory, so he asked Fan Youcheng about the specific address of the tall one-eyed woman and decided to go to Guangzhou to ask in person.

…

At Yangcheng Airport, as soon as Zhao Yilu left the airport lobby, a soldier in a military jeep came to pick him up. Zhao Yilu casually asked, "Have you found the woman I described on the phone?"

The soldier immediately replied, "Commander Zhao, the alley you mentioned has been demolished and replaced with buildings. However, based on your description, I did find a one-eyed woman who used to sell funeral supplies. She and her husband have now moved to a village on the outskirts of the city."

The soldier couldn't help but grumble, "I don't understand what they're thinking. They could have been allocated a new, large apartment after the house was demolished, but they insisted on moving to the suburbs..."

Zhao Yilu simply said two words: "Lead the way!"

The soldier immediately drove Zhao all the way to the village on the outskirts of the city...

After arriving at the place, the soldier understood why this family did not live in an apartment building, but lived in a bungalow in the village. The paper figurines and coffins that filled the yard were too big to fit in the apartment building.

Zhao Yilu asked the soldier to wait for him outside the yard, and he knocked on the door and went in alone.

There was a knock on the door, and a petite middle-aged man came out. He looked up at Zhao Yilu for a moment and asked, "Do you want to buy a coffin, a paper figurine, or other funeral supplies?"

Zhao Yilu lowered his voice and said, "Neither of those. I want to consult your wife about something."

A few days ago, when Fan Youcheng was telling Zhao Yilu about the tall woman, he also mentioned that the tall woman and her petite husband had collapsed the bed when they slept together, so Zhao Yilu immediately guessed that this should be the tall woman's husband.

The petite man led Zhao Yilu into the house and said, "You sit here for a while. My mistress is still sleeping. I'll wake her up later."

Zhao Yilu said nothing and nodded, but he couldn't help but look at his watch. It was 8 o'clock in the afternoon. If he was sleeping now, what would he do at night? How could he sleep? It was really strange!

Not long after, the tall woman came out, stretched out her body, with a look of impatience on her face. She yawned and said, "Who's looking for me?"

When Zhao Yilu saw someone coming out, he immediately stood up and greeted him politely.

He saluted with a standard military salute and said, "Hello, my wife met you once nineteen years ago, and I came here today specifically to ask you for help to clear up some confusion."

Upon hearing this, the tall woman looked at Zhao Yilu with her only remaining lonely eye, carefully examining his face. She then asked for Zhao Yilu's birth date and made some calculations...

"It's you?! That person is indeed blessed with great fortune and has changed the fate of many people around him!" The tall one-eyed woman exclaimed in a hoarse voice.

"You were originally destined to be immortal, with incomplete limbs and excellent fortune, but now your four pillars are relatively balanced and your career path is smooth."

Zhao Yilu was convinced by the woman's accuracy. He asked respectfully, "Then, Master, can you calculate whether my wife and I will ever meet again in this lifetime?"

The tall woman tapped the table with her fingertips, and after a long moment, she slowly spoke, "Twenty or so years from now, her fate will undergo a major upheaval, and perhaps she'll be able to meet you again..."

After saying that, he picked up the tea on the table and started sipping it.

Zhao Yilu understood that this was a gift of tea to see him off and that he didn't want to say anything more, so he left an antique compass that he had carefully selected before coming to the palace on the table as a thank you gift, and then said goodbye and left.

The tall woman's eyes lit up immediately when she saw the compass. She stopped pretending to be sophisticated and immediately shouted to Zhao Yiluli's back with a smile, "Young man, you must remember that the medium of your acquaintance is this book!"

Zhao Yilu paused for a moment, then bowed his head and said sincerely, "Thank you!"

Then strode away...
