superstitious
Su Fangli had no idea what was happening behind her. She took out a chopstick holder from her small bag.
"Three."
Fang Yu had seen Su Fangli use this before, and it looked quite powerful. Aunt Fang said it was incredibly effective, and that she'd been unable to find Fang Bao several times, and drawing lots had always been a huge help, always finding him correctly.
He rubbed his hands together in amazement, repeated the question in his mind, and carefully pulled out three.
Nine of Cups - Reversed

Five of Cups
Su Fangli frowned as he looked at the cards:
“The process may not go smoothly and we may not get what we want.”
She didn't know what the other person was asking. Perhaps he was asking if he could meet the saint? This was indeed not easy.
How could Fang Yu say it out loud? He was not asking about joining the army, but whether there was a possibility between him and Fang Li.
He laughed dryly: "No problem, I want to try."
Su Fangli naturally didn't say much. She nodded and continued to interpret the cards.
"Which direction are you going?" she asked.
Fang Yu: "Northwest. I heard the treatment there is particularly good."
Su Fangli looked at the tarot in her hand and the star chart above Fang Yu's head.
"Don't go there. Let's go to the northeast. Is there a recruiting office there?"
"Yes." Fang Yu said. He didn't even ask Su Fangli the reason. It seemed that whatever she said was the truth and he had no doubts at all.
"Don't walk on mountain roads, don't travel at night, and... don't go near water. If you pay attention to these things, your life may be safe."
Before she finished speaking, Fang Yu nodded repeatedly with bright eyes.
Su Fangli suspected that this person didn't hear what she said at all.
"Oh, right." Su Fangli suddenly remembered something. She pointed at Fangzai, who was lying obediently on the ground, and asked, "Will you take him with you?"
Fang Yu nodded without thinking.
Of course they should be together. He watched Fangzai grow up, and Fangzai is like his younger brother.
But Fang Yu also listened to Su Fangli's words. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Fangli squatted down, handed the chopstick holder to Fangzi, and said gently, "Good boy Fangzi, have one."
Fangzai poked the chopstick holder with the tip of his nose, picked up a chopstick with his teeth, and placed it in Su Fangli's palm.
【tower】
Su Fangli sighed.
She had previously not taken this card seriously, which indicated sudden changes and accidents.
But back in the modern era, she drew a "Tower" for herself and her assistant. She gave Tao Tao a holiday. But she was taking a chance, so the variable represented by the "Tower" became a constant, transforming into the "Death God."
Every time this card appears, it represents a huge variable, which really forces her to pay attention.
Su Fangli thought for a moment and said, "Let's smoke another one."
If nothing unexpected happens, this time it will be the [God of Death].
Sure enough, she turned her palm over and looked at the card Fang Zai had just drawn.
Fang Yu watched for a long time, confused. Seeing Su Fangli's expression was not right, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Su Fangli patted Fangzi's head, stood up and said, "Fangzi is not suitable to follow you into the army. It might be dangerous."
Hearing this, Fang Yu thought seriously for a moment and said, "Indeed, I was inconsiderate before. I thought that if I valued Fangzai, others would do the same. The world is in chaos now. We in Fangjia Village treat Fangzai and Fangbao as children, but it's different outside. If I were to join the army, I would have to start as a soldier. If something happened, I would probably find it difficult to protect Fangzai."
He was extremely reluctant, but he also didn't want Fang Zai to get hurt.
After this incident, Fang Yu was clearly no longer as passionate as before. He told Su Fangli that he would go back and think about it, and left with Fangzi in a dejected mood.
Su Fangli watched them leave, turned around, and was frightened by the dark shadow behind him so much that his hands were shaking.
The chopstick holder fell to the ground, and the chopsticks inside, which were engraved with various strange symbols, flew everywhere.
He Chenghuan stood far away, his face was slightly pale, his eyes were dark, and he looked very unfamiliar.
"Young Master?" Su Fangli took a few steps back and distanced herself from him.
He Chenghuan looked at the chopsticks scattered on the ground.
He recognized them as the chopsticks Su Fangli had given him from her bag when they were eating noodles the day before. He was deeply impressed.
Thinking back to what happened just now, two people and a dog were sitting around a chopstick holder, pulling out chopsticks and talking...
He Chenghuan frowned. Feudal superstition again.
The man just now was clearly interested in Su Fangli. If he had a tail, it would probably wag it even more than the wolfhound beside him. His modern comrades were just like that. They were so obsessed with their new girlfriends that they even skipped parties.
It's just that Luohua has feelings, but Su Fangli behaves like a completely indifferent person.
Seeing He Chenghuan frowning, Su Fangli followed his gaze.
She thought to herself that she shouldn't secretly tell fortunes to others. Even if there was something hidden, she should still explain it to the other party.
"This is the tool I use for divination. It can be used to inquire about good and bad luck and predict directions. I was wrong to take the initiative that day and let you draw the lot."
Su Fangli looked up at the other person.
The man's eyes were dark, and a few strands of hair blocked his brow, diluting some of his sharpness. But she still felt guilty and could only continue to explain: "That day, officials came to collect land taxes. I suspected they were imposters and drove them away. Fearing they would retaliate, I read my fortune. It was very bad luck. I didn't know whether to believe you at the time, so..."
He Chenghuan's gaze enveloped her from head to toe, and he nodded after hearing her words: "Those two have indeed come, and the divination has indeed come true. What school of divination using chopsticks belongs to?"
Could she be the modern charlatan?
"This is the fortune-telling method passed down in the village." Su Fangli said.
He Chenghuan had never heard of this, but that didn't stop him from being suspicious. He squatted down and helped Su Fangli pick up the chopsticks.
He blurted out, "Could you tell me a fortune?"
Su Fangli paused and asked, "What do you want to ask, sir?"
She said this completely subconsciously. She immediately became alert after she said it, not wanting to get involved in He Chenghuan's affairs. She added, "No need to say it. You can draw the lot later."
He Chenghuan nodded and thought to himself: Is she from another world?
He took out a chopstick from the chopstick holder and handed it to Su Fangli.
Su Fangli took it and said nothing for a long time, looking embarrassed.
"How is it?" He Chenghuan asked as he got closer.
Su Fangli opened her palm and found that the chopsticks on it were broken and the symbols engraved on them were completely unrecognizable.
She poured out the other chopsticks and found that many of them were cracked and completely unusable.
This impulsive first experience of fortune-telling was also forced to end. He Chenghuan laughed at himself in his heart, wondering how he had lost his mind, traveling back to ancient times and starting to engage in feudal superstitions.
Could it be that the person in front of him had some special magical power that made him involuntarily believe that she could really predict it?
The two returned home in silence, putting down their sugarcanes. Granny Fang wasn't around, so Su Fangli asked, "Sir, are you ready to leave? Don't let it get dark and delay your trip." This time, she was clearly trying to get him out.
He Chenghuan nodded and left in the direction Su Fangli pointed to him.
Su Fangli waited for a stick of incense before picking up a few pieces of sugarcane and putting them in her backpack, preparing to take some to Aunt Fang and Fang Bao.
The man finally left, and Su Fangli breathed a sigh of relief. The chopsticks Taro had broken, and she had to make a new pair. But the chopsticks were so small, and she usually kept them in her backpack, so how could they break just by falling?
What difficult question did the man ask?
There was a carpenter in the village who Su Fangli had hired to carve a lot of dice and wood chips. However, before she finished, the carpenter and his family moved away. Her fingers were weak, so she had to put it aside. Now she had to pick it up and finish carving.
As I was walking and thinking, a voice suddenly sounded: "Girl."
?
This voice, can't it be...
Before Su Fangli looked up, she already had an ominous premonition in her heart.
As expected, it was He Chenghuan again. He was carrying the bag that Su Fangli had prepared for him, and his face was visibly embarrassed.
"Sir, are you...lost?"
"Lost."
The two spoke at the same time.
Su Fangli looked suspicious: "Sir, do you have other motives? Just speak frankly."
"I..." He Chenghuan himself was also confused. He was clearly walking in the direction pointed by Su Fangli, but somehow he got lost while walking.
Su Fangli looked at him and sighed: "I'm going to deliver something to Aunt Fang. You follow me first. After I'm done, I'll take you out of the village." This time she must watch him leave with her own eyes.
"Thank you for your help." He Chenghuan nodded and quickly took the backpack from her back with a look.
He didn't dare say a word on the way, for fear that the girl would think he had other intentions.
The houses in the village were scattered, many of them empty. After walking for half an incense stick of time, they arrived at Aunt Fang's house.
Before I got close, I heard a "quack" sound in the yard. Fang Bao was playing in the yard.
"Auntie? Are you at home?" Su Fangli called out.
Fang Bao heard the sound and rushed over. He got very close to Su Fangli and put his head against her palm.
It rubbed against him and found that there was someone behind Su Fangli. It looked carefully and got angry.
"Ga!--" It cried and rushed over to peck at He Chenghuan's thighs and waist.
"Oh, what happened?" Aunt Fang heard Fang Bao's voice and rushed out, only to see chaos in the yard.
Fang Bao chased after He Chenghuan, pecking at him non-stop. He Chenghuan knew that this goose was a treasure of the village, so he didn't dare to fight back. He could only jump around in panic, looking extremely pitiful.
After being surprised, Su Fangli looked carefully and found that Fang Bao seemed to be pecking He Chenghuan's waist every time.
She remembered that it seemed the same when they first met.
Also, when they were preparing to go down the mountain, Fang Bao was reluctant until she brought He Chenghuan with her.
What's on him?
He Chenghuan also noticed it. He touched his waist which had been bitten several times and felt something in the secret pocket.
He took it out, but before he could hold it firmly, Fang Bao snatched it away with his quick eyes and quick mouth, and ran away.
The yard was in chaos.
The goose ran away, He Chenghuan chased the goose, Aunt Fang thought he was going to hit Fang Bao and chased after him, and Su Fangli also caught up with him.
He Chenghuan noticed that Fang Bao was running with a purpose, so he slowed down and followed behind.
Stopped in front of an empty tree stump.
Fang Bao stuffed the food in his mouth.
Aunt Fang and Su Fangli also ran over and were relieved to see that there was no fight. They also noticed something in the tree stump.
Knowing that her own Fang Bao was picking up random things again, Aunt Fang went over and took out two small things from the tree hole.
"This is……"
There are two sachets, one pink and one blue. Judging from the material and pattern, they are a pair.
Silence spread. He Chenghuan's expression changed when he saw the pair of sachets clearly.
