Finally, Xu Jing happily walked out of the villa with the transferred 500,000 yuan.
"Master, the central gate bridge arch."
Unexpectedly, there were still taxis hanging around in the suburbs, so Xu Jing stopped one and told the location.
"Young man, what are you doing?" The driver was in awe after seeing the Taoist robe. "What are you doing at the Central Bridge?"
"Go home, of course."
While everyone was still working hard to save money to buy a pigeon cage, Xu Jing already had a mansion of his own.
It covers an area of 500 square meters, has a spacious location, is warm in winter and cool in summer, and has all the necessary kitchen and bathroom facilities. It is truly a perfect place.
"The Taoist priest is quite humorous. How did you harvest today?"
"It's just so-so." Not as many drivers as those in flip-flops.
"It's really hard for the driver to come out and drive Didi so late at night."
The driver laughed and said, "I can't help it, I just like excitement. People can't be idle, and I'm used to worrying. If you're interested, young Taoist priest, add me on WeChat and we can play mahjong together in the future."
"I don't have time to play mahjong. We seem to be connected today, so how about I give Master Li a fortune-telling for free?"
Master Li was stunned. "How do you know my last name is Li?"
Xu Jing was speechless and pointed at the tag hanging on the passenger seat. "Is it yours?"
"Oh, I'm old and my memory is not good. Little Taoist priest, can you calculate for me how many years I can live?"
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
"What about marriage?"
"You're already over fifty, and you still want a second spring?"
Master Li sighed, and through the rearview mirror he could see the desolation in his eyes. "I'm quite lonely being the only one at home. My son and his wife have moved out and started their own family, and I'd like to find a companion to share some quiet time with me."
"Then you should look for a matchmaker, not me."
"Matchmakers are unreliable. They take the money but don't do anything good." Master Li sighed as he drove. "Little Taoist priest, can you see if my marriage line is still there?"
"Let me calculate it for you." Xu Jing pulled a copper coin from his bag and pretended to recite a few incantations that no one could understand. After the car reached the central bridge, he said, "It's difficult, but it's not impossible."
After parking the car, Master Li turned around and was half-believing and half-doubting what Xu Jing said.
"You missed true love at the age of twenty, gave up on the one destined for you and married the one your family arranged for you. As the saying goes, a forced melon is not sweet. Your family arranged it for you, not your destiny, so they couldn't help you at all. Instead, they made you owe gambling debts, and your whole family suffered as a result. Do you think I'm right?"
Master Li nodded vigorously. "That's right. How do we solve it?"
"It would be nice if I could just pay off the debt."
"But I've already paid it back."
Xu Jing shook his head, his smile revealing an unfathomable meaning. "Is it so easy to repay a debt of gratitude? Who owes whom, you or your wife? Can you tell the difference?"
"Little Taoist priest, please stop playing dumb. If you can help me solve it, money is not a problem."
The flip-flop driver didn't have much, except for a house and money. "At worst, I can give you a house."
If it were someone else, they would have agreed immediately. After all, a house in Guangdong can save them a lifetime of hard work.
But Xu Jing was unmoved, instead he found it very funny.
Master Li was anxious. "Can't you solve it?"
"It's not easy to solve. Your damn wife won't be happy about it."
"What do you mean?" Master Li suddenly felt that the sky was a little dark, and what the charlatan said was very mysterious.
"Don't you know what you owe her? Do you want to pay her back for her life?"
"Master, don't talk nonsense. I have never done anything like murder or arson."
While talking, Master Li observed the surrounding environment.
There are no buildings within a radius of five kilometers, which is quite suitable for killing people and disposing of bodies.
But people always have a bit of a lucky mentality, always thinking that what they do is perfect and will not be discovered.
The secret he had hidden for more than twenty years was spoken out by a little Taoist priest. For some reason, he felt very happy.
"Little Taoist priest, do you know the consequences of saying something you shouldn't have said?"
"I don't know, and I don't want to know." The night deepened, and the moonlight faded. The whistling wind blew past my ears, drowning out the sound of Master Li's footsteps.
"Master, do you have a lighter?"
While Master Li was stunned, Xu Jing pulled out a pack of Su cigarettes from his bag, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth. "Borrow a light."
"Of course." Master Li smiled, took out a lighter and threw it over.
The lighter formed a parabola in the air and landed steadily in his hand. Master Li watched Xu Jing skillfully light the cigarette and take a puff. His satisfied expression didn't seem like he'd just smoked a cigarette, but rather like he'd just smoked marijuana. "A monk still smokes?"
"Go ahead and smoke. Smoking is better than smoking your wife."
"Young man, don't talk nonsense. I've lived to this age and have seen everything. Your tricks won't fool me."
"Master, do you want to see her?"
Master Li laughed until tears came out of his eyes. "I said a few words to you and you're still holding it in your pocket. My damn wife has been dead for 25 years and I haven't even seen her in my dreams. How can you see her just like that?"
The next second, his smile froze on his face.
With the help of the lit cigarette light, he saw Mei Fang, the person he never wanted to see again in this life.
"Meifang. Why are you here?"
"I came to see you." Mei Fang looked at him with a smile, her cheongsam still charming. She walked steadily, one step at a time, stepping on the waves. "I haven't seen you for 25 years. I hope you are doing well."
No surprises, just fear.
"You, how did you find her here?"
Master Li took a few steps back, but it was no use. Every time he stepped back, Mei Fang took a few steps closer. She got closer and closer, so close that her hands were almost touching his face. "Twenty-five years since I last saw you, and you're still as cowardly as ever."
"Mei Fang, I didn't hurt you. I worked hard to raise your child. Our child is now married with children and living a happy life."
The fierce expression was replaced by a pitiful look, and there was no room for flaw in his superb acting skills. The old man is indeed the old man, and his strength should not be underestimated.
"Really?" Mei Fang didn't get angry, she just smiled.
As he laughed, blood-red tears flowed from his eyes.
The two lines of tears hanging on the pale face looked particularly abrupt, like a rose swaying in the wind, with a kind of strange beauty.
"Isn't it clear what you did?"
"That wasn't me who did it, it was you who did it."
Uncle Li couldn't look directly at Mei Fang's face. When he turned his head, he happened to see a kitchen knife stuck in her slender neck. Blood slowly flowed down the cut part, dripping onto the ground, splattering everywhere, and a few drops even landed in his eyes.
"Ah." Even Uncle Li, who had seen big scenes, couldn't help but scream.
He watched Mei Fang's head being chopped off and falling to the ground. She came towards him, bounding and skipping. Even without words, he could feel his adrenaline rushing, and terror gripping his entire body.
"I didn't do it. I didn't do it."
"Why are you so excited? I don't blame you." Mei Fang approached him with a smile, and blood gushed out, soaking all his clothes.
"Come and keep me company, please? I'm so lonely."
