Chapter 96

In Temple Street, the crowd was still discussing Tao Haizhou's affairs.

"Being a godparent is really risky."

"When my aunt was a godparent before, the other party's living conditions became better and better, but my aunt's family became more and more lonely."

"I told you not to be a godparent."

"I feel more and more scared the more you talk about it. I also regret being a godparent."

Seeing that the neighbors were all scared, Chu Yueqing stood up and poured a pot of tea with a teacup, and comforted them: "Don't be too scared. After being a godparent, if you find that there are no obvious changes in the family and the health of the family members is not affected, then it's fine."

"However," she sat down, "it's best to calculate the horoscope before being a godparent to see if the horoscopes of both parties are compatible."

The neighbors also agreed.

If they are not compatible, won't they end up like Tao Haizhou? Risks must be avoided in advance.

Several people who were godparents were scared and rushed home to take their godparents to have their fortunes told.

Chu Yueqing put down her teacup and smiled, "Okay, next one."

The elder brother came out with a smile on his face.

Chu Yueqing recognized him at a glance. He was Zheng Xin whom she met at the sausage noodle shop yesterday morning.

Zheng Xin had been a die-hard fan of the Miaojie fortune teller and had read many fortune-telling stories about Master Chu. Despite this, he often had to go out to sea and had no time to come to Miaojie.

It was not until today that he saw the real person.

Zheng Xin sat down with the help of the table. He looked at the girl with a graceful and outstanding temperament. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she looked.

Zheng Xin is not someone who can hide his thoughts. He asked nervously, "Master, have you been to Ah Ming's rice noodle shop two days ago?"

Chu Yueqing knew that he was recognized and smiled lightly, "I did."

Zheng Xin slapped his forehead and said in annoyance, "Oh! If I had known that the master was there, I shouldn't have talked nonsense at that time. It would be better to let the master speak directly."

Chu Yueqing poured a cup of tea and handed it to him, smiling lightly, "What do you want to calculate?"

Zheng Xin took the tea in fear and smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, I don't know what to calculate."

Zheng Xin is a crew member and often goes to sea with the ship across the country. He spends 300 days at sea in 360 days a year. He has nothing to do on the ship. When he misses his hometown, he will read the newspapers brought from Hong Kong. Among them, the one he reads the most is the fortune-telling column written by reporter Li from Daxi News Agency.

At first, Zheng Xin thought that the stories in the newspapers were all bragging. It was not until later that he found out that his brother's boss was involved in the fortune-telling incident that he realized that the stories in the fortune-telling column were not stories, but real cases one after another.

He came to line up early this morning, not to really have his fortune told, but to see his idol.

"Master, am I causing you trouble?" Zheng Xin looked at the neighbors who were watching outside the dessert stall, and his face was red. Why should he, a person with a decent life, take up a position? The master is very capable and should give it to other people who need it more. "

If someone urgently needs a fortune-telling, I can also give up my position."

The neighbors didn't say anything yet.

Chu Yueqing looked at Zheng Xin, smiled faintly and shook her head: "No one can predict their own fate, isn't it okay to prepare for a rainy day?"

"Oh, that's right." Zheng Xin gave his birth date according to the rules, "Life is unpredictable, so why not calculate when I will die."

The neighbors laughed.

"This is the first time I've seen someone come to the master's stall to calculate when he will die."

"Oh, it's not bad to live a hundred years?"

"You actually want to know when you will die."

"Being able to see through life and death means that you can take everything lightly?"

"That's right." Zheng Xin took over the words of the neighbors, his skin was sunburned brown by years of being at sea, and he smiled and showed a row of white teeth. He was wearing a thin round-neck sweater, sitting on a chair, his arms resting on the table, and his strong forearms could be vaguely seen.

"I don't have any other advantages. My greatest advantage is that I can see things in a positive way. Nothing is difficult in life. It's just a matter of turning a blind eye."

The neighbors obviously didn't believe Zheng Xin's words.

The social pressure is great. Every young person is crawling forward with an invisible burden on their backs. How can there be a truly heartless person?

"Young people just don't know the immensity of the world."

"You are so optimistic because you haven't encountered any real difficulties yet."

"Yes, if you went bankrupt overnight and became a beggar, can you still remain optimistic?"

"People are optimistic because they don't encounter many setbacks."

Chu Yue glanced at Zheng Xin's face and shook her head: "Mr. Zheng's eight characters have flowing five elements. The fluidity of the five elements in the pillars becomes vigor, and he will be unimpeded and unrestrained. In other words, big or small things can't make him worry. People with this kind of eight characters are usually optimistic and cheerful, and are full of enthusiasm for life. It is indeed a rare optimism among ordinary people."

Some people were curious, "How optimistic are they?"

Zheng Xin has always known that he is optimistic, but this is the first time he has heard that optimism is related to the eight characters. He is also curious: "Master, I think optimism is nothing strange. Could it be that I am different from ordinary people?"

He is really curious.

Optimism, shouldn't everyone be the same?

Chu Yueqing decided to satisfy Zheng Xin and calculated with her fingers: "When you were eight years old, your horoscope showed that there was a flood star. Did you go fishing often with your father that year?"

"Yes." Zheng Xin smiled, "My hobby of fishing was cultivated that year."

"You followed your father and learned from him. Later, you were completely fascinated by fishing. You begged your father to make you a fishing rod. After it was made, you loved it and kept shouting that you wanted to go to the river every day. Your father was worried that you would fall into the river, so he didn't allow you to go with him anymore."

"What should we do?" Chu Yueling picked up the teacup, took a sip and continued, "You just look for water near the house. Once, you went to play with your friend and found a small pond behind his house. You cast your rod happily, but you fell into the pond and swallowed a few mouthfuls of fishy water."

When the neighbors in the front row heard about the fishy water, they showed a bad expression.

"No way? It's not what I thought, is it?"

"The small pond is behind the house. Maybe it's what we thought."

"That's right." Zheng Xin also recalled this incident, his brown face showing a little red, "I fell into a manure pit."

As soon as he finished speaking, the neighbors burst into laughter.

Chu Yueqing continued: "Ordinary people would be afraid and afraid to do anything after falling down and climbing up with great difficulty, right? But you were optimistic and took the pole and bucket to change places. This time you learned your lesson and found a slightly larger pond. When your parents found you, it was already evening, and you were still happy to lift the small bucket, and your face was covered with manure, but you couldn't suppress your happiness."

Zheng Xin also smiled and nodded frequently: "Yes, although I was beaten and fell that day, I caught my first fish in my life, which weighed two kilograms. I ate three bowls of rice with a swollen butt."

The neighbors laughed again.

"When you were seventeen, you rode your bike to take your mother to the hospital to see a doctor for her lumbar spine. When you arrived at the door, you fell on your back and hurt your leg. Your mother originally came to see a doctor for a minor problem, but you had to stay in the hospital for a month."

"Ordinary people would probably complain and blame God for being blind. But you, on crutches, dragged your temporarily disabled legs every day to go to the next ward to care for a little girl of the same age."

Zheng Xin blushed.

"When you were 23 years old, you and your friend made an appointment to go hiking in the mountains. A snake coiled in the middle of the road. It was obvious that you and your friend didn't see it and crossed over at the same time, but it jumped up and chased your butt to bite your friend. Your friend was scared to death, afraid that it was a poisonous snake and you would die. After you went to the hospital to bandage the wound, you found a food stall and made snake soup with the snake's head."

Zheng Xin scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "The medical bills are not cheap, I have to eat it back."

The neighbors laughed and praised Zheng Xin.

Chu Yue smiled and said, "If it were someone else, they would have collapsed due to this kind of thing, but Mr. Zheng always remains optimistic. Do you think he is just pretending to be optimistic?"

The neighbors all denied it and admitted that Zheng Xin was much more optimistic than ordinary people. Two of them even apologized for their excessive words and asked Zheng Xin to remain optimistic.

Zheng Xin said he didn't mind and gestured with his hands: "Don't worry, I will definitely pass on this optimism."

Chu Yueqing shook her head again and said: "I'm afraid it won't work."

Zheng Xin's heart skipped a beat, "Why?"

Chu Yueqing looked at Zheng Xin's horoscope and said: "Your marriage palace has a matching star, which means you have already started a family."

"Indeed, I have already started a family." Zheng Xin couldn't help but smile when he mentioned his wife. "I met my wife at Cape of Good Hope Park. She is beautiful and gentle, with a pair of affectionate eyes. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her."

"At that time, she had many suitors, but I was strong-willed and fought through all the siege. Now, we have three children, the oldest is eight years old, and I am willing to do anything for them."

Zheng Xin is quite satisfied with his married life, with a wife and children. In order to make more money, he began to shorten the time he took to rest on the ship.

Other crew members would rest for half a month after going out to sea for a month, but he didn't need to do that. He wanted to make more money to support his family.

Over time, his colleagues also called him a workaholic.

Chu Yue looked at Zheng Xin who still knew nothing, and showed a sympathetic look, "There are also advantages to being optimistic. Being optimistic and broad-minded will naturally not pay attention to the details."

Zheng Xin was confused: "Master, is it bad to be optimistic?"

"Optimism is good." Chu Yue shook her head with a sigh, "But after listening to the following words, I hope you can continue to be optimistic."

"From your face, your wife's palace is faintly entangled with peach blossoms, and your forehead is shining with green light, which means that your... wife has cheated on you, and not just one person. You don't have a child in your heir palace, which means that none of the three children you cherish are yours."

After the words fell, there was a loud bang.

Zheng Xin felt that his mind was hit hard by thunder, and it was blank. He was stunned for a long time.

After coming back to his senses, he rubbed his facial features vigorously, and trembled for a long time before putting down his hands. "Master... Master, maybe my face was too dirty and I couldn't see clearly just now. Do you want to take a look again?"

Chu Yueqing shook his head, counted on his fingers, and said: "Every time you go out to sea, the male mistress will come to see your wife."

"Master, is it really impossible to be wrong?" Zheng Xin asked with a wry smile.

"If you think about this matter carefully, you will find something wrong. For example, the men's clothes that suddenly appeared at home, and the double theater tickets in the cabinet." Chu Yueqing helped him recall.

Zheng Xin knew that he could no longer refute.

Because, the day before yesterday, after he got off the ship, he really found two sets of men's clothes in his closet. His wife avoided his gaze and explained that they were clothes that relatives didn't want, and she took them back because she thought they were suitable for his body.

Zheng Xin didn't doubt it at the time, but now when he thinks about it, there are doubts everywhere.

For example, when he was playing with his children, the children would suddenly ask him if the uncle who came two days ago was his friend, or the full cabinet of double-seat row theater tickets.

Everything proved that his wife might really have someone else outside.

He was even more distressed when he thought that it was possible that all three children might not be his.

"Master, now... now what should I do?"

Chu Yueqing counted on her fingers and said, "Have you thought about how to deal with it after you knew the truth? I will not participate in your choice, I can only tell you the result of the horoscope. From the horoscope, your wife is a partner who can match you in every aspect, and she also loves you sincerely, otherwise she would have divorced you long ago."

"Indeed, she is a good match, otherwise I would not have insisted on her." Zheng Xin smiled bitterly, "Many of my colleagues' wives have cheated, but I didn't expect that one day it would be my turn. Master, if I break up with her, what will she do?"

Chu Yueqing calculated: "She discovered your goodness and wants to start over with you. If you reject her, she will marry again, but she will never meet anyone better than you."

"What if you don't divorce?"

Chu Yue replied: "If you don't divorce, she will slowly change her mind. You have raised all three children since they were young, and they only recognize you as their father. They are also very filial. However, when you were fifty years old, you still discovered the truth, and you couldn't accept it, so you became a monk."

The effect of discovering early and late is different.

Zheng Xin didn't discover the truth until his children grew up. His always optimistic heart collapsed directly. He became a monk without saying a word, abandoned everything, and lost the opportunity to start over.

Zheng Xin was heartbroken.

He really tried his best to raise three children, and he spent all his time with them after getting off the boat.

Maybe it is easy for others to make decisions, but it is really difficult for him.

Divorce means giving up the children.

If they don't divorce, they will have to bear the burden of being cuckolded and can't say anything.

Moreover, Zheng Xin has not seen his wife cheating with his own eyes, so he is not giving up. "Master, how can we find evidence?"

Chu Yueqing counted with her fingers, stopped and sighed: "Just say she went out to sea."

Zheng Xin smiled bitterly, "I guessed it."

Every time she went out to sea, his wife would ask someone to go home. He once ran into one by accident, but believed his wife's words that the other person was just a plumber.

When Zheng Xin left, the neighbors complained.

"Just now he said that people with predestined relationships are more optimistic than the average person."

"With so many cuckolds everywhere, even the Buddha Tathagata can't be optimistic. I understand him."

"Xingxi, what do you think of Mr. Zheng? He won't be depressed, will he? His wife cheated on him, and none of the three children he raised with all his strength are his."

Chu Yuexi picked up the teacup, turned it around and said, "No, he is optimistic because he can quickly sort out his feelings in a short period of time. This time it will also get better slowly, but it will take a little longer."

No one will feel good after being betrayed.

The neighbor said again.

"It can be seen that Mr. Zheng loves his wife very much. Crew salaries are high but the work is also very hard, otherwise they would not have such a long vacation. But he can stay on the ship to earn money for his wife and children."

"That's right. It's really lonely in the vast ocean with no entertainment activities and only a few scattered colleagues."

"Mr. Zheng loves his wife so much, and I don't know what choice he will make." "

In fact, some things can be ignored if you turn a blind eye."

Chu Yueqing stopped paying attention and looked at the last person, "Next."

The person who came was relatively young, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old. He was wearing a loose T-shirt on his skinny shoulders. The loose T-shirt covered his knees. He wore a pair of tight jeans. The gray pants were full of holes, and he was wearing flip-flops.

The holes were very irregular, one at the knee, one at the crotch, and it was obvious at a glance that the jeans were worn out, not artificial holes to follow the fashion trend.

The little boy grabbed the scattered Hong Kong dollars tightly, walked to the sweet soup stall, knelt down and kowtowed, crying bitterly.

"Master, please save my sister."

Bang, bang, bang.

The little boy kowtowed and dust flew everywhere, as if Chu Yueqing would really die if she didn't agree.

The neighbors were nervously moved by the poor little boy, knowing that a few dozen dollars were not enough for fortune-telling, so they all reached into their pockets to make up for the loss.

Chu Yueqing lifted the little boy up with both hands. Feeling his trembling body, he whispered, "Don't be afraid, I will help you."

The little boy walked all the way to the temple street, his face covered with dust and two marks from tears. Hearing that the master was willing to help, he quickly raised all the money.

At the age of twelve or thirteen, he was only about 1.4 meters tall. Worried that Chu Yueqing couldn't reach it, he stood on tiptoe and tried his best to hand over the money.

"Master... Master, this... this is all the money our family has... Please... please, help... help."

The little boy seemed to be unable to speak clearly.

Chu Yueqing looked at the stack of money, which was very wrinkled and dirty. In Hong Kong, where prices are extremely high, it is rare to see one-dollar bills, but there are all of them in front of him.

After counting, it should be only more than twenty yuan.

She didn't mind, took the money and smiled: "Okay, I'll help you."

Min Xiaohui saw that someone finally helped him, he smiled happily: "Thank... Thank you, Master."

Chu Yueqing heard that the boy was a stutterer. She stood up, opened the popsicle box, scooped out a bowl of sugar water, brought it over, and put it in front of the boy.

"Eat something first."

Min Xiaohui swallowed his saliva when he saw Tang Shui, and held Tang Shui in his arms: "Thank...thank you Master, I...I want to bring...bring...sister...sister."

Chu Yueli asked: "What's wrong with sister? Do you know your sister?"

Min Xiaohui held Tang Shui and shook his head. He thought of something again, his eyes became red, and he sniffed: "Sister...sister, she's going to jump off the building."

Maybe this matter was very urgent, Min Xiaohui stopped stuttering.

The neighbors were even more anxious.

"Hey, if your sister wants to jump off the building, you should call the police. What's the point of looking for Master?"

"How about this, where is your home, let's call the police."

"Oh my God, we have to call the police quickly, don't wait until your sister jumps and we are still here."

Min Xiaohui held Tang Shui in his arms and lowered his head.

The voice was low and depressed.

"It's... it's useless. Dad and Mom both jumped to death, then... then it's my cousin, and then my cousin. He... he's younger than me."

"I... we, the whole family... jumped to death."
