"This..." Ms. Liu was stunned.
Gu Zhisang asked: "How is your best friend's son? He is also a very smart child?"
When asked this question, information about the boy emerged in her mind.
Her best friend’s son Xiaohong is indeed the smartest child she has ever met.
Although Niu Niu is not bad, she attends the best primary school in the city, her grades are among the best in the school, and she is also studying Olympiad mathematics, but she is still far behind Xiao Hong.
That boy can be said to be a child prodigy, smart enough to participate in "The Brain".
Like Niu Niu, he is just over nine years old and is already learning the knowledge of the first and second grade of junior high school. In addition, he has been exposed to programming, mental arithmetic, mnemonics... and other art studies under the cultivation of his family.
Moreover, this child is not only smart, but also very good-looking. When he was put together with Niu Niu when they were young, they looked like a pair of New Year picture dolls.
Since childhood, her best friend always favors Niu Niu, but Xiao Hong rarely gets angry. Instead, he says like an adult: "Niu Niu is a girl and my sister. I will protect her when she grows up."
When Ms. Liu chatted privately with her husband, she would also say that although her best friend had a hard life in the first half of her life, she finally had her happy ending.
As for Xiaohong, his health is indeed weaker than Niu Niu's, and it is common for him to catch a cold during the change of seasons.
Ms. Liu vaguely remembers that a long time ago, when her two children were probably two or three years old, she heard from her best friend that Xiaohong had a serious illness.
I haven't had any serious illness since then.
After listening to Ms. Liu's brief account, Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't you think these situations sound familiar?"
The audience in the live broadcast room also said:
[The boy is precocious, has outstanding looks, and is weak and sickly. Isn't this the standard of a 'virgin life' as just mentioned? This boy is definitely a 'virgin', right? ]
[Two children were born on the same day, one is healthy and the other is seriously ill and dying, but the boy's mother always lets her child give in to the girl... What can I say? I may be more selfish. If the two children quarrel, if it is not my child's fault, I will definitely favor my child. Are mothers really so selfless? Maybe I am a conspiracy theory, anyway, I think this best friend is weird. ]
[I feel the same as above, this is simply a living Bodhisattva. And Sangsang said she is a "villain", so she must have done something bad. ]
Seeing that Ms. Liu was still unwilling to believe it, Gu Zhisang said:
"Do you have a photo of your best friend and her son? I need to deduce their information. What if that boy is also destined to be a virgin? He will also face disasters in the future."
Ms. Liu nodded and said, "Yes."
As she spoke, she took out her cell phone and looked through it.
But after searching for a long time, I only found photos of my best friend.
Only then did Ms. Liu realize that she had not had a frontal photo of Xiaohong for such a long time, even though their two families would get together once or twice a week.
She remembered what her best friend said: "Children's privacy is very important. It's best not to post photos of their faces on WeChat Moments. Who knows if there are people with bad intentions?"
Although she felt that her best friend was too cautious, she also agreed with her point of view and usually protected Niu Niu's privacy.
For example, in my best friend’s circle of friends, there are only photos of Xiaohong holding the trophy, his silhouette and back standing on the podium, etc. There is really not a single frontal photo.
Even when the two families get together, it is the best friends who act as photographers.
In the photos sent to her, there was only Niu Niu, and Xiaohong's body was basically the only thing in the picture.
Ms. Liu had never noticed these things before, and now she felt strange about them.
She handed the phone to Gu Zhisang, on which were the photos her best friend had posted on WeChat Moments.
The woman in the photo is well-maintained, wearing expensive clothes, with red manicure and carrying a famous brand bag. She is sitting in the driver's seat of a luxury car with a proud smile, showing the wealth and happiness of her current life.
Although the camera's beauty function changed her facial features, Gu Zhisang was still able to piece together this woman's life from several photos taken from different angles.
She raised her head and said to Ms. Liu:
"Your friend had a difficult family background when she was young, and the relationship between her parents and relatives was not good. I won't go into the details. She and you met after you were divided into different classes in high school. After graduation, you were admitted to the same university and have always had a good relationship."
"At that time, your family hadn't had any accidents yet, and your family was well-off. Your living expenses were much higher than those of ordinary students. You knew she was in a difficult situation, so you wanted to take care of her. When we went out to play, you usually paid for our meals."
Ms. Liu was a little surprised to hear this, because Gu Zhisang described their boyhood so accurately.
My best friend’s family is indeed very poor. When she was in college, her family was only willing to give her 600 yuan a month.
As a result, every time they went out to play, she was embarrassed to let her best friend spend money, for fear that she would not be able to afford food after her living expenses ran out.
It was also because of their friendship during their school days that when her best friend lent her money and asked her to pay for Niuniu's medical expenses, she said: "You always helped me back then, and now I have money to help you, what's so unacceptable?"
Ms. Liu continued to listen:
"Your friend's current husband is in real estate. He has a big business and is very rich. She is now a full-time housewife. But they are not destined to be together. When your friend married him, it was not smooth, and she also used some tricks."
Gu Zhisang spoke in a cold tone, and Ms. Liu felt a little embarrassed when she heard it.
Only she herself knew that her best friend's love history was indeed not very glorious.
When she was a junior in college, something happened in her family. Both her parents passed away and her family's financial situation plummeted. So she was busy working part-time to earn tuition and living expenses for those one or two years, and her time to go out and play was greatly reduced.
It was around that time that she discovered that her best friend had become wealthy and her clothes and food were different from before.
When she asked, her best friend told her that she had a rich boyfriend. Although she didn't approve of her best friend spending too much of her boyfriend's money at the time, she was too busy with her own affairs to take care of her best friend.
It was not until she was about to graduate that she found out that her best friend’s rich boyfriend was a real estate owner who was ten years older than her.
The man had been married once and even had a daughter. The girl was particularly averse to her, so the real estate owner had never been able to make a commitment to her.
Ms. Liu felt that this relationship was unreliable and advised her best friend to break up many times, but she didn't listen.
The real estate boss did not marry Ms. Liu until she got married and became pregnant, and her best friend found out she was pregnant at about the same time.
It was only after the ultrasound confirmed that the baby was a boy that the boss and her got a marriage certificate.
To put it bluntly, he actually relied on his son to get to the position.
While in the hospital, Ms. Liu met the real estate boss more often.
The other party always talked about real estate projects and looked down on her husband, a lawyer, and herself, a white-collar worker. They also heard that this man had owed the hard-earned money of construction workers, so her husband, a lawyer, didn't like him either.
After her two children were born, Ms. Liu could feel that her best friend was distancing herself from her.
After almost half a year, the two of them had almost no contact.
I just often see in the circle of friends that my best friend is getting luxury cars and jewelry, and her life is getting better and better, and her husband’s net worth is soaring as his property value increases, etc.
At that time, Ms. Liu comforted herself that friends always come and go, and besides, she and her bestie did have different social circles, so it was normal that they couldn't play together.
Unexpectedly, a year or two later, her best friend contacted her again and the relationship was rekindled.
It has been going on well till now.
Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment when she thought of this.
How did the two families get back together?
She remembered that when her best friend contacted her, she scolded her for not looking for her for such a long time and asked her if something happened at home.
They hadn't been in contact for a long time, and Ms. Liu felt a little embarrassed when she heard the other party's intimate and blaming words.
She said that she had looked at the other person's circle of friends and felt that her best friend was very busy, traveling, visiting exhibitions, and shopping everywhere, and she was afraid that she would bother her and delay her business.
My best friend said: "Why am I so busy? You see my circle of friends is so glamorous, but it's just to please outsiders. In fact, I am so worried! My kid is sick every other day. He just had a serious illness last month. It's not easy for him to get better recently. I have some free time, so I thought of contacting you. You are such a bad friend. If I don't take the initiative to contact you, you won't come to me! By the way, how is your daughter?"
Ms. Liu didn't expect that the boy who was born on the same day as Niu Niu would have poor health.
Hearing her best friend's scolding, she felt a little embarrassed, and the two of them made an appointment to meet while chatting about their two children.
Then they resumed frequent communication, often bringing their two children to see each other, and their relationship became even better than before when they were in school.
At this time, Gu Zhisang's voice continued:
"From her face, some of the shortcuts she took were actually tainted with bad luck. These bad luck will not manifest when she is young, but from her fate, she will be lonely and helpless in the middle and later stages of her life, and all the money she has worked so hard to accumulate will be lost... and her philtrum is short and deep, which is not good for having children. Generally speaking, people with this kind of face are not destined to have children."
"But the line for children in her fate is surprisingly solid and strong, with no sign of breaking. This is a conflict, and one of them must have been changed."
No one would change their appearance for the worse.
更何况从很早时期的照片，这个女人的人中、仙库和承浆——那一连片的区域都是固定不变的。
她一直都是无子女缘分的面相。
如今她命宫里那条坚固的、贯穿始终的子女线，一定是经后天修改的。
在既定的命运中，这个女人会失去那个过分聪明的男孩。
如果那个叫小宏的男孩真的是‘童子命’，那她就是找人换了童子。
顾之桑勾起唇角，说道：“刘女士，你确定你闺蜜对你有那么好吗？”
“当然。”刘女士下意识肯定。
“你再仔细想想，她究竟是对谁好。”顾之桑道：“她不是对你这个闺蜜好，而是对你女儿好。”
刘女士张了张口却说不出话来，顾之桑这句话宛如晴天霹雳，让她顿时想到了一些不符合常理的情况。
小宏的聪颖让父亲一脉非常欣喜，对他十分看重；
且闺蜜也是因为小宏的出生，才成功和现在的丈夫领了证，其实小宏就是她的心肝肉。
闺蜜虽然宠爱妞妞，但也经常会私下里劝她再生个二胎，给妞妞生个弟弟……
如此种种，为什么闺蜜重男轻女却会对女儿那么好呢？
顾之桑：“这样，我们做个实验。”
她语气幽幽道：“你和你闺蜜打个电话，就告诉她自己已经找到了治好妞妞的办法。”
刘女士：？
“这……”
“你既然相信她是好人，觉得她和你女儿的事情没关系，还犹豫什么。”
刘女士想想觉得也是，于是掏出手机拨通了闺蜜的电话，对方接听后她按照顾之桑教她的那样说道：
“雁子，我告诉你一个好消息，妞妞有救了！”
“什么？！怎么可能啊？”电话那头的女人像是吓了一跳，失声惊呼，语气中满是不可置信。
“不是，我的意思是医生不是说妞妞她……？”
刘女士攥紧了拳心，看了一眼顾之桑继续说道：
“是这样的，医生不是说妞妞这个怪病看不好么，我实在没办法了前两天就给《灵事》节目组投了求助信，就是一个玄学节目，里面的选手都是特别厉害的大师。”
“现在大师们都来医院了，给妞妞看过之后说她根本就不是得病了，是被人害了！有人把一个什么‘童子命’换到了她的身上，才让她变成现在这个样子，我真的气死了！”
电话那头的闺蜜雁子说道：“参加节目这事儿你为什么不告诉我？”
刘女士苦笑道：“我总不能什么都依靠你吧，这半年我已经给你添了很多麻烦了，而且说实话我没想到节目组这么快就选上我们，我也怕大师们看过也没办法解决，告诉你也是白高兴一场。”
“不过现在好了，有一个大师说能解决，只要做法把这个‘童子命’换回去，妞妞的病就好了。只不过偷偷换了的那一个孩子要遭殃了，大师说‘换童子’是逆天改命，那个小孩儿会遭到反噬的，一换回去他就会立刻暴毙……”
“不说了，大师准备做法了，最多一两个小时就能好。能换回来后我再给你打电话报喜，我这边先挂……”
话还没说完，电话那头的女人便尖叫一声：“不行！！”
刘女士被穿透耳膜的声音吓得一颤。
雁子语气慌张甚至有些语无伦次：“你不能这么做的，绝对不行……不我是说，对面的那个孩子是无辜的啊，他肯定不会自己换这种东西，你让他、让人家直接暴毙也太狠了吧！”
“那我女儿呢？！”刘女士咬紧牙关，“我女儿全身器官衰竭，吃喝拉撒都困难、一碰就浑身疼长达半年，这些折磨她凭什么就要受着？对面的人‘换童子’的时候就没想过自己的手段对一个小孩子来说太狠了吗？”
“本来该死的就不是妞妞，那是他们咎由自取。”
“姐你不能这样，再说了网上的灵媒都是骗子啊，之前找的大仙们都说了没办法，你别折腾孩子了行不行？！我现在就过去，你等……”
刘女士看着顾之桑无声的口型‘挂掉’，不等雁子说完，她就把电话挂了。
刚垂下手，她就双腿发软浑身无力，要不是身后的丈夫及时扶住了她，她差点往后栽倒。
顾之桑拍了拍手，从凳子上站起身。
“好了，网已经撒好了，就看看会不会有大鱼上钩。”
她从包里拿出一些符箓，装模作样在妞妞身边摆起阵来，动作慢慢吞吞。
瞥了一眼双眼呆滞、面色惨白的刘女士，她纤白的指尖托着腮，“刘女士，现在你还认为自己的好朋友纯洁无辜吗？”
并不。
她太了解闺蜜了，刚刚那一幕足以证明闺蜜至少是知道‘换童子’这件事的。
这半年来妞妞受苦受难，自己和丈夫买房买车到处奔波的时候，她表面上陪伴焦急，实际却隐瞒事实。
直到现在，还在阻拦自己换回来。
这是真的爱妞妞吗？
为什么提到换回来，雁子会这么恐慌？
顾之桑懒散笑着，又道：“我没猜错的话，这个医院也是你好朋友安排的吧？哦对了，那些灵媒应该也有不少是她帮你找的？”
刘女士哑声道：“是……”
她从没怀疑过雁子会害妞妞。
雁子帮她联系大师、帮她安排床位和名医，她打心眼里感激这个好闺蜜。
其实很多问题刘女士心里已经有答案了。
但当半个小时后，气喘吁吁的女人冲进房门时，她还是浑身发抖双眼涨红。
来人穿着高跟鞋背着羊皮小包，烫成波浪卷的头发有些凌乱，手里还牵着一个神情茫然的男孩子。
“干爹干妈？妞妞妹妹……”男孩看到屋里的人喊了一声，却没得到回应。
他本来在家里做作业，就被妈妈疯了一样拉扯着来到医院。
往常温和的干妈双眼通红，用一种很复杂的眼神看着自己，他心里有点害怕。
看到妞妞病床前拿着黄符的顾之桑，女人猛地扑上去就要抢，却被一旁的工作人员架住。
“这位女士你想干什么？”
顾之桑假装不满，道：“刘女士，这是什么意思，法事还差最后一步是不能被打断的。”
雁子扭头看向神情冷漠的刘女士，咬牙道：“姐你到底在干什么？妞妞身体这么差，你还找这些人到她身边闹，你是要她不得安生啊！”
“医生都说了没有用治不了，你非要信这些江湖术士的话，姐夫你也不劝劝她！”
被刘女士的目光盯得头皮发麻，可雁子还是强撑着惶恐不安，咬牙道：“你已经不清醒了，我是妞妞的干妈，说什么都不能让你犯糊涂！”
“你们还拍什么拍？信不信我马上报警，举报你们传播封建迷信！”
刘女士眼神冰冷，“你是妞妞的干妈，我是她亲妈，我今天非要做这个法。”
这个叫雁子的女人并不看《灵事》，也不用大眼仔这个软件，所以她并不知道节目组现在正在直播。
再加上她现在满脑子都是如何阻止‘法事’继续，表情管理略显狰狞，全都暴露在镜头之下。
趁着她胡搅蛮缠的功夫，顾之桑已经把她身后男孩子的面相扫了一遍。
她知道妞妞的八字，很容易就把同天出生的小宏的八字也推演了出来。
当得到了确切的时辰后，她冷笑一声，确定了自己的猜测。
所谓八字，就是一个人的出生的年月日时，最后一个‘时’往往是最不准确的。
很多人都不知道自己出生的精确时间，只知道自己大概是傍晚、凌晨或是中午生的。
有能力的玄师是可以推演出一个人出生的具体时辰、甚至是分秒。
妞妞的八字时支就是顾之桑通过她的命格推演出来的：
寅时八刻。
也就是四点五十分之后、接近却还没到卯时——也就是凌晨五点。
按理说她晚于小宏出生，小宏又只比她早生出一点，小宏的出生时辰也应该在寅时八刻之前。
单从八字来看，他们都是‘童子命’。
但顾之桑从小宏的命格推演出来的时辰，却是卯时一刻出生的！
也就是过了5点整之后，他才出生。
别看只是小小的时辰变化，前后可能只相差不到十分钟，但对命理来说却是地覆天翻的变化！
只从两个孩子现在的命格推八字，早出生的小宏反而是在卯时晚出生的，作为妹妹的妞妞时支却在寅时，应该是姐姐。
医院方在每个孩子出生的时候，都是有记录的，一般不会记错。
只有一个可能，就是有人给两个孩子换了八字命格。
顾之桑将日支的异常说了出来。
雁子的表情一僵，而刘女士再也绷不住了，她上前一把抓住自己的闺蜜，嘶哑着声音质问道：
“所以真正的‘童子命’不是妞妞，而是你儿子？你早就知道了对不对？你把妞妞的健康命给换走了，把你儿子的早夭命换给妞妞，你把毒手下到了天天喊你干妈的孩子身上，到底是谁的心肠狠？！”
Yan Zi struggled, "What nonsense are you talking about? My son is so smart, he is a genius! Why would I have to exchange with your daughter?!"
Gu Zhisang sneered and suddenly said, "Yes, it is because your son is a genius and a true 'virgin' that you cannot attack other people, but have to 'exchange virgins' with Niuniu."
"How could you want him to become a mediocre person? You want him to be healthy, but you also want him to be smart. Aren't you afraid of starving yourself to death?"
Although Niu Niu is not destined to be a virgin, she can also be considered a virgin.
It's the 'Shadow Boy'.
The eighth quarter of the Yin hour is not her day branch, but the first quarter of the Mao hour is.
As the saying goes: Spring meets Bing, Ding and Gui, Summer meets Wu, Ji and Geng; Autumn meets Yi, Mao and Xin, Winter meets Yin, Zi and Wu, and the boy is the shadow body. ①
Like Xiaohong, she was born in the golden autumn of October.
But for a child born in autumn, if the month branch and day branch include Yi, Mao and Xin, he is a "shadow boy".
There is a saying in Taoism that nine out of ten children have shadows.
That is to say, a real "boy" is very rare, and most of the so-called "boys with destiny" are actually "shadow boys".
The reasons for the formation of this kind of "shadow boy" are very complex and varied, and the personality and talents they manifest after reincarnation as adults are also different.
Some "shadow boys", as the name suggests, are the shadows of real boys.
Perhaps they had interactions with real boys in their previous lives and were contaminated with a hint of boyish aura, so they had a little spiritual aura after reincarnation.
And Niu Niu, this "shadow boy", is very special. Her soul glows with a faint golden light, and she is undoubtedly a "boy".
But she is a child of the underworld.
Those "boys" who cannot return to the immortal seat for various reasons can only enter the underworld after death.
Some who do not want to reincarnate want to become a minor official in the underworld, just like the ghost official that Xi Haihong saw. Some who hate the eerie atmosphere of the underworld and are nostalgic for the prosperity and wealth of the world of the living choose to reincarnate as humans again.
This kind of 'shadow boy' has already left the immortal family, so naturally he won't suffer sudden death like a 'boy with a life'. At most he will suffer from some minor illnesses and disasters.
On the contrary, they still have some residual wisdom and are much smarter than ordinary people.
Gu Zhisang guessed that Yan Zi had already discovered the special features of the two children's fate, which was why she contacted Ms. Liu again and became Niu Niu's godmother.
She had already set her sights on Niu Niu.
The reason why Xiaohong is so smart is because of his "virgin life". If he were to be born as a virgin with an ordinary person, he would still be able to survive healthily, but his intelligence would gradually disappear in the future.
But Niuniu is different, she is a "shadow boy" and her IQ is higher than that of ordinary people.
By exchanging "boys" with Niu Niu, Xiao Hong can still have the wisdom to maintain his cleverness.
The reason why Yanzi is so nice to Niu Niu is probably because he feels guilty and is self-righteously compensating Niu Niu.
This "compensation" is so hypocritical that it makes people feel disgusted.
The author has something to say:
① The Shadow Boy Algorithm comes from Baidu
Nine out of ten children are shadows, and there are very few real children, so don't believe in the idea of exchanging children easily qwq
