"Monster! There's a monster in Que'er!"
The old Taoist priest got up from the bed in a panic.
Xihe held the man down and said, "Master, what kind of monster is that? You are drunk."
The girl had a smile on her face and spoke with confidence. The old Taoist priest couldn't help but stop and look around. He saw the unfilial disciple he met again yesterday sitting in front of the bed. White clouds were floating outside the house. Everything was normal. Where was the monster?
He heaved a sigh of relief, sat down on the bed, patted his chest and panted: "I was so scared, I thought I met a monster!"
Xihe handed him a bowl of water and said, "Don't worry. Even if there are monsters, they won't go after an old man like you. Your meat is old and tough, and there's nothing to chew on."
Old Taoist priest: "...If you can't speak, shut up!"
He insults him whenever he gets the chance, and has no respect for his teacher at all. Humph, he was raised in vain!
After joking around and having breakfast, the old Taoist priest took the banner and went to set up his stall again, and Xihe followed with Yuanbao.
For the first time ever, he was very obedient today, following behind with his head down, not saying a word. The old Taoist priest was curious: "Where did you pick this up? You're so stupid! He didn't even chase you when you left yesterday."
He is fair and tender, and looks innocent. Could he be someone's fallen young master?
The old Taoist priest was a little panicked and was already thinking about running away... Xihe bought a candied haws and handed it to Yuanbao: "Oh, a small mountain village, without a father or a mother."
Yuanbao took a lick, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took a big bite.
Xihe's eyes curved, and she straightened his crooked hair crown. The boy tilted his head and smiled at her.
Old Taoist Priest:...Okay, he doesn’t care anymore.
The town has a small flow of people, and the people who come and go are all villagers from several nearby villages. People only come here to tell fortunes during festivals and holidays. There is almost no business at other times. In order to make a living, the old Taoist priest took on the job of reading and writing letters.
From morning to noon, I only earned three cents.
Xi He clicked his tongue and shook his head, making the old Taoist priest so angry that he wanted to hit him. Xi He said directly, "Come, let me show you my true abilities."
The old Taoist rolled his eyes, but was then stunned by Xihe's actions.
It was noon, not a festival, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street. In the teahouse opposite, a few scholars were holding books and nodding their heads. The waiter was sitting on the doorstep, drowsy... Xihe directly said to the waiter, your wife is about to give birth.
The waiter laughed out loud: "Master, my wife is only nine months old, it's not her turn yet."
Xihe smiled but said nothing. After a few minutes, hurried footsteps were heard on the street, and a short, fat old woman ran over: "Shuanzi, your wife has given birth, hurry, go home!"
Waiter:!!!
Old Taoist Priest:!!!
The waiter ran away and the scholar upstairs put down the book in his hand.
Until he was squeezed out of the stall and squatted on the street corner with Yuanbao, the old Taoist priest looked at the stall surrounded by the crowd and still couldn't believe it. This damn girl actually learned some real skills?
Yuanbao nodded his head: "Master is very powerful!"
The neighbors were so excited to meet such a great fortune teller that they stopped working and ran to ask Xihe to tell their fortunes. They left reluctantly until it was getting dark and told Xihe to remember to come again tomorrow.
Xihe looked at the old Taoist priest: "How is it?"
The old Taoist priest held his breath and said: "You have met a good master."
Humph, anyway, he and the old liar only know how to cheat and deceive people.
Xihe laughed, and when he saw his face darken, he said, "Then why don't you come with us? Wander around the world."
