Chapter 25 My son! Someone else saved you
Jiang Suisui turned to look at the person who was speaking, and saw only an old Taoist priest in tattered clothes, sitting behind a table with a sign next to him that read "Zhang Banxian".
She raised her eyebrows and looked at the old Taoist priest. His thick eyebrows and high brow bones were characteristics of being good at lying and deceiving. Although he was smart, he spoke irresponsibly. He could gain benefits from small things but would not succeed in big things.
"Old man, how do you know I'm lying? Are you lying? Are you afraid that I'll expose you?"
The old Taoist priest was unhappy when he heard this: "You little brat, I, Zhang Banxian, have been in this capital for more than a year or two. Everyone knows my name."
Many people around heard the noise and ran over to join in the fun.
"Hey! Where did these two handsome fortune tellers come from? They are really good-looking."
"What's the point of looking good? You have to have real skills."
"That's the truth, but Zhang Banxian is quite famous in the capital. Now that someone is trying to steal his job, he's bound to be unhappy."
Jiang Suisui ignored the comments of the people around him and looked at Zhang Laodao's face and said, "Your father died when you were three, your mother remarried when you were five, and you lived on food from other families until you were seven, when there was a famine."
"You followed the villagers to escape famine, but were chased by refugees and separated from the villagers. You were then picked up by an old Taoist priest."
"You lived in the Taoist temple with the old Taoist priest for seven years. After the old Taoist priest died, you traveled around the country. When you were eighteen, you met a girl and had sex with her."
"You thought this was your perfect match, but after giving birth to your son, this girl took all your money and ran away. There has been no news since. You have been able to raise your son, who has a disabled leg, all by yourself until now."
Zhang Banxian listened to every word she said and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He had never mentioned these things to anyone else, so how could she know.
Jiang Suisui looked at him with a smile: "Do you want to continue?"
Zhang Laodao swallowed his saliva and stammered, "Stop bluffing here. Who are you trying to fool?"
Jiang Suisui still looked at him with a smile: "There is a horizontal line forming in your Children's Palace. If you go back now, you may still be able to save your son. If you go back too late, I'm afraid you will only be able to hold a funeral for your son."
"Hey, little brother, why are you cursing other people's children for no reason?"
"Yeah, I just doubted your youth, but I didn't offend you!"
The people nearby were unhappy when they heard what she said.
Jiang Suisui didn't try to argue, but looked at Zhang Banxian: "Are you really not going back to take a look?"
Cui He didn't know what to do after hearing what was said around her: "Jiang, Mr. Jiang."
Zhang Banxian knew that in their line of work, there was a saying that one could tell a person's future by looking at their face, and she had said it exactly. "You, you just wait. I'll go home and take a look. If you dare to lie to me, I'll show you how I'll deal with you when I get back."
After he said that, he ran home in a hurry.
Jiang Suisui didn't care: "Okay, I'll help you watch the stall." After that, she sat in the seat where Zhang Laodao had just sat.
He looked at the people gathered around and said, "Is there any fortune teller? Three fortunes a day, one ounce of silver per fortune, and you are not allowed to ask for money."
Cui He didn't know what to say when she saw her like this, so she could only ask quietly, "Mr. Jiang, was what you just said true?"
Jiang Suisui noticed that the people around him pricked up their ears with curiosity. "Well, even though that woman cheated him out of his money, she also left him with a lame son. All the reasons will eventually be resolved."
Zhang Laodao hurried home and saw his son preparing to light a fire and cook in the kitchen: "San'er, come quickly."
Zhang San limped out of the kitchen. As soon as he came out of the kitchen, the beam behind him suddenly broke and fell down exactly where he had just stood.
Zhang Laodao quickly pulled his son over, who was still frightened.
Zhang San was so frightened that he grabbed his hand and said, "Dad, if you hadn't come back at this time today, I would have died here."
Zhang Laodao's forehead was covered with cold sweat. If he didn't believe what the young man said, he might really have to see his son die.
"Son! There is someone else who saved you today." After saying this, he went into the house to get all the silver he had and took his son to the market.
