Jia Huamei poured Luo Qi a glass of water and continued, "Let me tell my eldest son's fortune first. If you can tell it right, I'm sure you'll get a lot of money."
Luo Qi gently stroked his long beard with his hand, looking confident. "Madam, please tell me your master's name."
"Hey, shouldn't it be about birth date and eight characters?" Jia Huamei exclaimed softly, and then asked in confusion.
"Haha, don't be surprised, lady. I can tell fortunes without your birth date." Luo Qi said pretentiously.
In reality, it was because he had no idea how to use birth date and eight characters to tell fortunes, and he wouldn't be able to learn it in a short period of time. Besides, even if he could learn it, there was no need to do it.
He pretended to be a fortune teller today because he learned from intelligence that Jia Huamei was keen on fortune telling, and it was purely for fun.
Jia Huamei had her fortune told many times, but this was the first time she'd encountered one that didn't require her birth date and horoscope. However, this made her think that fortune teller Luo Qi was even more impressive.
So she said, "My eldest son's name is Luo Chaoxin. Sir, please tell me what his fate is!"
Her tone unconsciously became more respectful.
Luo Qi nodded, and the fingers of her right hand, which was placed on her thigh, kept making various very regular hand seals, as if she was calculating something.
Jia Huamei stared at Luo Qi's right hand with expectant and worried eyes, as if she was witnessing the judgment of fate.
Luo Qi randomly performed the common martial arts gestures he had learned a few times, then suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed, as if he was very exhausted.
Jia Huamei couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you finally out?"
Luo Qi fumbled to pick up the water cup and took a sip, then fumbled to put the cup away before slowly nodding, "Your eldest son, your life is quite rough!"
"What do you mean?" Jia Huamei was a little anxious.
Luo Qi shook her head and said, "This is Lijia Village. Everyone in the village has the surname Li, but your child's surname is Luo. This has already doomed him to a tragic fate."
"Ah!" Jia Huamei was a little surprised. Is fortune-telling so careless?
Luo Qi said slowly, "Your child has a peculiar and unsociable personality, is scheming and resourceful, and is an extremely complex individual. If everything goes well, he can live a life of wealth and prosperity, but the slightest setback can easily lead to mental disorder."
"Ah!" Jia Huamei exclaimed again, her eyes fixed on Luo Qi's face.
She felt that the pair of white eyes behind the sunglasses were full of mystery, as if they could see through everything.
Luo Qi formed a few more hand seals with his right hand and continued, "Unfortunately, eight out of ten things in life are not as expected, and man proposes, God disposes. Even Zhuge Kongming, with his brilliant strategies, had his moments of failure. Luo Chaoxin must be suffering the consequences of fate right now!"
Luo Qi emphasized the word "backlash", which was like a heavy hammer hitting Jia Huamei's heart.
"Ah! Master, does that person have any way to save him?" Jia Huamei now really believed that the fortune teller in front of her was really powerful.
Luo Qi sighed pretentiously, then said, "As the old saying goes, the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. The only person who can save him now is the one he has always wanted to harm. Lady, please figure it out yourself!"
"This..." Jia Huamei was speechless.
She couldn't figure out who was the one who tied the bell for Luo Chaoxin!
At first, Luo Chaoxin had been framing Luo Qi, the son of Luo Xionghua's first wife, but the reason he went crazy was because he was abandoned by the Luo family, or his father, after donating a kidney.
She didn't know whether the person who tied the bell was Luo Qi or Luo Xionghua, so she asked the fortune teller, "Sir, could you give me some advice?"
Luo Qi naturally understood what Jia Huamei was thinking. He gently stroked his long beard and said, "As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. Why do you, my lady, have to deceive yourself?"
Jia Huamei felt that the fortune teller's words were abstruse and unfathomable, and she felt as if she was lost in a cloud of fog.
But she knew that the fortune teller's last words were about her deceiving herself.
She sighed.
This fortune teller is amazing! He just casually predicted the root cause of my biggest failure in life.
Her mind immediately turned back to Luo Chaoxin's fate. She thought that the reason why Luo Chaoxin ended up like this was that after replacing Luo Qi, he continued to torture and bully her, which brought bad luck to himself and he was eventually abandoned by Luo Xionghua.
Therefore, Luo Qi should be the person who tied the bell mentioned by the fortune teller.
Fortunately, she often had her fortune told and had a strong ability to interpret the fortune teller's ambiguous words, which soon matched Luo Qi's purpose.
But she didn't know what the person who tied the bell should do to help her eldest son.
So she begged, "I know who is the one who tied the bell, but what should I do specifically? Please tell me clearly, sir, otherwise it will backfire and be disastrous. I will give you double the divination fee, okay?"
Luo Qi acted completely according to the predicted scene he saw in his mind yesterday. Now seeing Jia Huamei completely following the development of the plot, he couldn't help but feel very satisfied.
He nodded and said, "I'll pay whatever the divination fee is. I won't ask for more. But if I help you find your way, I'll have to bear the consequences, so you have to pay to eliminate the consequences for me."
Jia Huamei stood up and bowed to Luo Qi to express her gratitude. Her attitude was extremely sincere, even pious.
Luo Qi stroked his long beard again and said, "Your young master is mentally ill. As the saying goes, a heart disease needs a heart medicine. You need to earn the forgiveness of the one who tied the bell, and your young master's condition will gradually improve."
"This... sir, do you have any other way?" When Jia Huamei heard that she had to ask Luo Qi for forgiveness, she suddenly felt desperate and hurriedly asked if there was any other way.
Luo Qi shook her head. "Your son's destiny was originally excellent, but unfortunately, every tree has a trunk. No matter how good his destiny is, he is just a branch. He is destined to rely on the trunk to enjoy wealth and glory, but he is also destined to be abandoned at any time. If he wants to regain his life, there is no other way but to seek forgiveness from the trunk."
Jia Huamei covered her mouth in shock.
This fortune teller is so scary! What on earth did he predict that he could say such a thing?
She was shocked and felt a little creepy.
If what the fortune teller said is true, Luo Xionghua let Luo Chaoxin replace Luo Qi's identity, and also wanted to get rid of Luo Qi, isn't this the branch trying to replace the trunk?
If the main trunk is really removed, can the branches attached to the trunk still survive?
Now Luo Chaoxin is just crazy. Just as the fortune teller said, he has been punished by fate. It seems that he has been abandoned by Luo Xionghua, but in fact he has been abandoned by the main trunk. If he wants to recover, the only way is to ask for forgiveness from the main trunk.
Jia Huamei had originally thought of asking the Li brothers or Luo Xionghua to kill Luo Qi, and thus remove the person who tied the bell, which would naturally untie Luo Chaoxin's body. But now, she no longer dared to entertain such thoughts.
