There are still not many people in the antique city on weekends.
As soon as we arrived at the ancient street, we were overwhelmed by the sense of history. Time seemed to stand still.
There are all kinds of stalls selling jade, old books, calligraphy and paintings, and fake antiques.
Turning left, you'll find yourself on Fortune Telling Street. Both sides of the road are lined with small tables, each serving as a stall. An old man or woman sits at each stall. A piece of red paper covers the table, inscribed with: Fortune Telling, Divination, Seeking a Date...
At the end of the fortune-telling street, a little girl was sitting carelessly on a small chair, with earphones in one ear, staring at her mobile phone with great interest.
Behind the girl, there was a flag hanging diagonally with the words "Three hexagrams a day" written on it.
There was only a small table in front of the girl. The stall was very simple. The old man in the stall next to her, sitting in a wheelchair, looked her over carefully, then shook his head slightly at her unkempt appearance.
"Now all the young girls are out there trying to cheat people! My Xuanmen is declining!" The old man kept sighing.
The little girl was Xu Yi, who came out to set up a stall on the weekend. Although Tian Li's mother gave her 10,000 yuan, she didn't have to worry about food at the moment, but she would need money for tuition and living expenses in the future, and she couldn't always wait for others to help her.
So she asked around, bought a small table and two folding stools, and came here to set up her stall.
The old man next door kept sighing, Xu Yi heard it, but she ignored it.
Modern TV dramas are really great.
Following Zheng Wei's recommendation, Xu Yi started watching TV to practice her English listening skills.
The men in this drama are handsome and the women are beautiful, and they look very different from us Chinese people.
This story was more to her liking, the story that had to be told between two vampire brothers and a beautiful woman.
Xu Yi started watching as soon as she arrived here at 9 o'clock, and has been watching for more than an hour without putting down her phone.
In her previous life, Xu Yi's life was very dull. Every day she was either practicing or on the way to exorcise evil spirits. There was no entertainment at all.
I have been here for more than a month, and under the guidance of my roommates in dormitory 305, I have started watching TV series from various countries.
Zheng Wei loves watching American TV series, Lan Yue loves watching martial arts dramas, and Zhang Jingjing likes watching art films. They often cry so hard over tragic love stories that their eyes become swollen, and you can see it through the thick glasses.
All of a sudden, Xu Yi seemed to have opened the door to a new world. For example, she watched "Journey to the West", "My Fair Princess", "The Legend of the New White Snake", "Soldier Assault"... She watched them all.
She has recently become obsessed with police and gangster movies. After finishing her studies every day, she watches TV. Recently, she stays up until 12 o'clock every day.
Another episode ended. Xu Yi rubbed her sore eyes and put her phone on the small table.
At this time, a woman in her 30s came to the street, looking around anxiously.
The woman's face was pale, and wherever she walked, a foul odor emanated. Her belly was slightly bulging, clearly indicating she was pregnant.
She walked along the fortune-telling street from beginning to end, stopping for a moment in front of each stall, hesitating.
After walking back and forth on the fortune-telling street twice, she finally made up her mind and sat down in front of the stall of the old man in the wheelchair next door.
As soon as the woman sat down, Xu Yi smelled a fishy odor wafting into her nostrils. She looked at the woman and frowned.
"Master, can you help me calculate the baby in my belly? Is it a boy or a girl? Will I be blessed in the future?" The woman sat down and spoke without waiting for Zhou Qinghua to speak, as if she was afraid that she would regret it.
"Fortune telling doesn't tell the gender of the fetus, so ask something else." Zhou Qinghua also smelled the scent coming from the woman and wrinkled his nose slightly.
"Then can you help me calculate how many children I will have? My husband's family has only one son for three generations, and I want to have more children." Xu Yun continued to ask.
Xu Yun and her husband Li Fei have been married for nine years. They have tried various methods and taken many medicines, but they still have no children.
This year, her mother-in-law brought back a folk remedy. After taking it for more than a month, she finally got pregnant. Xu Yun was overjoyed and was very careful.
But she didn't know what was going on. Since she became pregnant, red bumps started to appear on her body. The bumps were itchy and painful, and would break if scratched.
Later, yellow fluid began to flow out, emitting a foul odor, and her husband ignored her. She was afraid that she would lose the child and be kicked out of the house.
She married far away. At the time, she was content with love and didn't ask for anything else. She followed Li Fei here and became a migrant worker in Beijing.
After getting married, they had no children and their relationship was getting weaker and weaker. Now that they have a child, her husband is ignoring her again.
Xu Yun didn't know what to do. After much hesitation, he decided to try his luck at the fortune-telling street.
"Your face shows that you are destined to have a son. But your mother-son relationship is not strong." Zhou Qinghua cleared her throat.
Xu Yun's face turned pale when he heard this. Is it really impossible to keep the baby in her belly?
"Master, is there any way? Please help me keep him. He is my only child, and he is my hope!" Xu Yun looked at Zhou Qinghua pitifully, with tears in his eyes.
"You can't go against fate. Do more good deeds in the future." Zhou Qinghua declined directly.
Xu Yun said many nice things, but Zhou Qinghua did not change his mind. He took out a few red bills and put them on the table, then walked out in a daze.
Zhou Qinghua looked at the haggard and dejected Xu Yun in front of him, muttering, "Misfortunes sent by heaven can be forgiven, but those brought upon oneself cannot be forgiven."
Xu Yun's mind was full of the Master's shallow mother-son relationship, and he was so distracted that he didn't notice that one of his feet had stepped into the street where cars were coming and going.
"Wait! Be careful!" Xu Yi stood up, ran a few steps, and grabbed Xu Yun who was about to walk into the traffic.
Xu Yun was in a daze. When he saw the little girl in front of him, he burst into tears.
"Okay, don't cry! It's no big deal." Xu Yi has lived with the three innocent girls in 305 for a while, and his heart has softened a lot.
He helped Xu Yun sit down on the stool, and Xu Yi also sat down opposite him.
Zhou Qinghua watched Xu Yi help the woman back and couldn't bear to watch. He tried to dissuade her, "You can't save her. She brought this upon herself. Why should you get involved in karma?"
Xu Yi looked at the kind-looking old man next door, then looked at his legs. He didn't say anything, just smiled back at her.
Consider yourself doing one good deed today.
"Where did the sore on your body start and where has it spread to now?" Xu Yi asked.
Xu Yun wiped away her tears, somewhat puzzled. What did this have to do with the child? Looking at the girl in front of him, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, he had no choice but to try his luck.
"It started on my stomach and now it's all over my upper body. I've looked everywhere but to no avail.
My husband hates me now too. Woo woo woo woo."
"Tell me. What did you eat? Otherwise, why would you have corpse spots on your face?" Xu Yi had a blank expression on his face, feeling a little disappointed.
