Chapter 10 The Old Man Looking for His Granddaughter
Wei Xi waited quietly for the second customer.
During this period, the fortune teller had spoken to her several times.
Everyone wanted to know where she learned these skills.
Because when she was telling fortune for that older sister just now, she knew it just by counting on her fingers.
In today's society, there are very few people who can tell fortunes by counting their fingers, and this technique has basically been lost.
Wei Xi was pestered so much that she could only say, "I don't have any intention of accepting a disciple."
When the fortune teller heard this, although he already knew it in his heart, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
At this time, two elderly men in their seventies with white hair appeared on the road ahead. They supported each other and held a stack of flyers in their hands, which seemed to be missing person notices.
Whenever they met a passerby, they handed the flyer in their hand to the passerby. Some people took it, and some did not.
Some people who received the flyers threw them into the trash can.
"Please be kind, has anyone seen my granddaughter?"
"My granddaughter is missing. If you see her, please call the higher-ups!"
The old lady pleaded with them, "If you find my granddaughter, I will thank you very much!"
Passersby who heard this shook their heads and quickly left.
"Forget it, old lady. We've been looking for it for so many years. If we could find it, we would have found it long ago."
Wei Xi retracted her gaze from the two elderly people: "Are they looking for their granddaughter?"
The fortune teller sighed, "Really? They come to this overpass almost every day to post missing person notices, asking every passerby if they've seen their granddaughter. Alas, they are two pitiful people."
"How long has their granddaughter been missing?"
"It's been five years. The place where she disappeared is right here on the overpass. I heard that five years ago they brought their granddaughter to the overpass to watch the fireworks. There were a lot of people that day, and one person didn't keep an eye on her, and she disappeared."
At this time, the two old men walked straight towards the fortune teller.
"Master, I beg you, please help me calculate where my granddaughter is. Is she in danger? Is she well fed and well housed?"
The fortune teller looked embarrassed: "Auntie, uncle, I really can't help you with this matter. My ability is limited. I can't tell you about finding someone. Besides, your granddaughter has been missing for five years, so I can't tell you about it either."
Hearing this, the old man wiped his tears and sat down on the ground: "Oh my God! You are so blind! My granddaughter is so good, how could you let her get lost!"
"It's all my fault! I shouldn't have brought you here to watch the fireworks, Luoluo, grandma is sorry for you!" The old lady beat her chest and stamped her feet, regretting her decision.
The small vendors under the overpass already know the two old men who come here every day to look for their granddaughter, and they feel very sympathetic towards them.
But in this society, there are countless missing people. Although they sympathize with them, they can't do anything.
The old man next to her was accompanying his wife. Seeing that she had almost cried enough, he slowly helped her up.
They hadn't walked many steps when they saw Li Jian, who hadn't left yet, spit at them and said harshly:
"You two old fools, you're already this old, why are you still looking for your granddaughter? Your granddaughter has been missing for so long, she must have died a long time ago. Even if she's not dead, a little girl must have been ruined."
Maybe it was because he didn't get the upper hand from the young Taoist priest, but Li Jian always felt resentful and wanted to vent his anger by cursing.
It just so happened that these two old guys came to him again, crying and making him upset, and the malicious words in his heart came out without thinking.
When the old lady heard this man talking about her granddaughter like this, she angrily cursed, "You...how could you say such a thing!"
The old man was also very angry: "Don't you have a daughter or granddaughter? How can you say such a curse word!"
People around him also pointed at him.
Li Jian scoffed, "Am I right? It's just a lost girl, and she can't carry on the family line. So what if she's lost? You can just have your daughter-in-law give birth to a boy, which will save you a lot of worry."
"You...you!" The old lady covered her chest with her hands, and was so angry that she couldn't breathe.
The old man was so angry that he was about to rush up to hit him, but before he got close to him, Li Jian grabbed his arm and pushed him forward.
"You old fool, you want to beat me up with your old arms and legs!"
He thought of the young Taoist priest again. He could easily push an old man down, so there was no problem with his strength. He was not a weakling at all.
The old man fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
The old lady threw down the stack of missing person notices in her arms and rushed towards her husband.
Li Jian bent down and picked up a missing person notice. He looked at the five-year-old girl on the notice, with her fair face and big eyes, and couldn't help but smile lewdly.
"She's so attractive at such a young age, no wonder she was abducted."
When the old lady heard the man insulting her granddaughter, she rushed towards him and yelled, "I'm going to fight you!"
Li Jian didn't take the old woman seriously, and just when her body was about to hit him.
Suddenly, a figure flashed by and appeared in front of him.
"ah!"
Li Jian let out a scream as his right arm was fiercely pinched by the fortune-telling Taoist priest.
The next second, his arms were twisted behind his back, and he cried out in pain again.
Wei Xi said, "You are really disgusting."
"Bitch, let me go!" Li Jian looked at her angrily.
Upon hearing this, Wei Xi twisted it hard again.
Li Jian was in so much pain that he could hardly speak: "You...let go!"
After she finished speaking, his arm was twisted again, and his face turned pale with pain. He wanted to pull his arm out, but his whole arm could not move because she was holding it tightly.
Then, Wei Xi released his hand and kicked him hard in the body. The other party staggered and fell to the ground, looking very embarrassed.
"He really is a bully who only picks on the weak and fears the strong. He even bullies the elderly." Wei Xi looks down on such people.
Li Jian refused to admit it and stammered, "Who... who bullied them! They were the ones who wanted to hit me, I was just defending myself!"
When the passers-by around heard his shameless words, they all criticized him.
"Who told you to have such a stinky mouth?"
"I can't believe you're a pedophile. You're capable of committing adultery with a five-year-old girl. It's truly disgusting!"
When Li Jian heard this, an embarrassed look appeared on his face.
He was just holding a grudge that he wanted to vent, and it just so happened that the old couple blocked his gun, so he subconsciously exposed his unknown habit.
All kinds of accusations and insults came into his ears, and his expression changed like a palette. Finally, he lowered his head in embarrassment and left the place in a hurry.
