Chapter 3 Complete the mission and extend your life for another year
When Zhao Lingling heard the voice, she quickly turned around and looked at the person she was very familiar with.
"grandmother!"
As she spoke, Zhao Lingling quickly threw herself into the old lady's arms.
The old lady was so anxious that tears were about to come out.
Looking at Zhao Lingling in his arms, he looked her up and down and asked anxiously.
"My dear granddaughter, are you okay? I heard there were human traffickers!"
Zhao Lingling nodded, "Yes, grandma, it was my sister who saved me!"
As she spoke, Zhao Lingling took the old lady's hand and pointed at Shi Yi who looked a little disheveled not far away.
When the old lady saw Shi Yi, she was stunned for a moment.
"Isn't this the master who saved me?"
Shi Yi was also stunned.
Is there such a coincidence?
The white-haired old lady in front of her was the old lady she rescued from falling objects from a high altitude.
Just now, it was Zhao Yong’s mother who was crying like a fool under the overpass.
Things are a bit messy...
So the little girl in front of me is Zhao Yong's daughter?!
The old lady's eyes showed gratitude and she wiped away her tears.
He walked forward quickly and knelt on the ground with a thud.
This action scared everyone around her, and the old lady burst into tears.
"Master! Thank you so much! Not only did you save my old bones, you also saved my Lingling! She is my only granddaughter. If anything happened to her, how would I live?!"
As he said this, he pretended to kowtow to the ground.
Shi Yi was startled and quickly pretended to pull her up.
The people around also came forward, looked at Shi Yi, and burst into warm applause.
"This little girl is so brave. She actually knew to shout 'fire' and attract us over here."
"Yes, this little girl is so young, yet she dares to face three human traffickers alone. She is truly courageous. Let's all give her a round of applause!"
Shi Yi listened to the compliments from the people around him, and a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face.
At this moment, a man squeezed into the crowd. He was well-dressed and looked like a rich man.
Zhao Yong's eyes were red and swollen, and he looked like he had just cried.
As he walked through the crowd, he saw Zhao Lingling, then saw Shi Yi who was in a dishevel, and heard the neighbors around him praising Shi Yi.
In an instant, his tears burst out like a flood.
"Master... Master..."
Shi Yi had anticipated this, and calmly grabbed Zhao Yong who was about to kneel and kowtow.
The old lady on the side hugged Zhao Lingling and started crying.
Zhao Yong was held back from kneeling by Shi Yi, so he stood there, hugged the grandparents and grandchildren, and burst into tears.
After the police handcuffed the human trafficker and put him in the police car, they walked up to Shi Yi with admiration in their eyes.
"Little girl, you've really helped our police this time! These three human traffickers are the ones who roamed around our capital a while ago and committed many crimes. Our police have been wanted for a long time, but I didn't expect you to run into them! Thank you so much this time!"
As he said this, the policeman stretched out his hand towards her, as if to shake hands with her.
Seeing the situation, he hesitated for a moment before extending his hand and shaking hands with the policeman.
She was ready to see some bloody scenes.
But to her surprise, after a few seconds, the bloody scene did not appear.
Nothing happened in front of him, so it seemed that nothing tragic would happen to this policeman in the future.
Thinking of this, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the policeman's hand.
The police expressed their gratitude again, got into the police car, and took the human traffickers away.
A cordon was set up at the entrance of the community.
The people around saw that the fun was almost over and gradually dispersed.
Zhao Lingling's grandmother and Zhao Yong cried their eyes out.
"Master, you not only saved my mother, saved me, but also saved my daughter. I have been away from home for business all year round and haven't been home for a long time. I owe a lot to Lingling and my mother. If it weren't for you, I..."
As she spoke, she began to cry out of breath and said that she would give all her property to Shi Yi.
This enthusiasm startled Shi Yi.
She talked a lot, but in the end she still used the excuse that "cultivation requires hardship" to put Zhao Yong off.
Shi Yi is a person who doesn't like crowds and even more so doesn't like dealing with people.
After repeated rejections, Zhao Yong finally understood what she meant.
When Zhao Yong was leaving, the look in his eyes that treated her as his adopted parent made Shi Yi feel that this man would not let it go so easily.
She quickly quickened her pace and ran to her shabby and cramped rental house.
After closing the door and blocking out the noise outside, Shi Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the corner of the small, easily visible living room, there is a black and white photo.
The old man in the photo has a bright smile, but also a nonchalant look.
As usual, Shi Yi came to the photo as soon as he got home, picked up the three incense sticks in front of him, lit them and put them in the incense burner.
"Master, I did a good deed yesterday. I saved an old lady who was thrown something from a high altitude. I was injured in the process! Look at my hands and face. They hurt a little. If you were still here, you would definitely scold me for being stupid while applying medicine to me."
Shi Yi looked at the old man in front of him with a bright smile, and his eyes dimmed unconsciously.
"I did two good things today. I stopped a man from getting hit by a car, and I also stopped his daughter from being abducted. Who knew the girl was his daughter... Maybe this is the 'divine will' you always mentioned?"
"Also, Master, I inexplicably got a system today. The system told me that as long as I complete the tasks, my life will be automatically extended for one year. Then I won't have to worry about money anymore, and I can live like a normal person."
Shi Yi's eyes were empty and dim.
"Master, I miss you..."
She took out the coconut milk she bought from a nearby stall and placed it in front of the memorial tablet.
She is an orphan and has never seen her parents, let alone who they are. She was picked up by an old fortune teller when she was young.
What was even more unfortunate was that when she was 10 years old, she had a high fever and after waking up, she had forgotten all her previous memories.
I grew up with the fortune teller, and the old man died of illness two years ago.
Her master was usually in financial difficulty and did not leave her any property.
Shi Yi was diagnosed with ALS a year ago, and her job is to set up a fortune-telling stall under the overpass. She can barely make ends meet with the superficial knowledge she learned from her master.
Shi Yi sighed, went back to his room, threw himself on the bed, and fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up again, she was awakened by a knock on the door.
Shi Yi felt a little strange. He opened his hazy eyes and looked at the gate.
She never has much contact with her neighbors, and no one usually knocks on her door.
The knock on the door continued, and Shi Yi quickly got up from the bed.
"Come on, come on, stop knocking. This door is old. If you keep knocking, it will break and I'll have to spend money to repair it."
Shi Yi's tone was a little bad, and he opened the door with a "whoosh".
The person outside the door was stunned.
"Uncle policeman?"
Shi Yi was also stunned. She didn't expect that the policeman who was supposed to leave to interrogate the human trafficker would actually come back.
"Uncle police, what do you want to talk to me about?"
The middle-aged man chuckled and withdrew his hand.
"Is there something I want you to talk about?"
Shi Yi quickly moved aside and said, "Oh, that's convenient. Please come in."
