As soon as this person came in, Xiao Shuangbao couldn't help but frown.
The other person was a man in his early thirties, tall, but reeking of alcohol. His back seemed to be pressed down by something heavy, making him look a little hunched.
He doesn't look very old, but he has an unshaven beard and a weathered face.
But what made Xiao Shuangbao most uncomfortable was that this person had a dull and lifeless air about him, like a puddle of walking mud. It seemed that for him, living had become a numb and zombie-like state.
He was not dead, but he looked like a living dead.
"What's your name? Your birth date." Xiao Shuangbao looked at the man's lifeless eyes and his tone was really hard to be kind.
"Lu Chao." The man's voice was hoarse. When he opened his mouth, the strong smell of alcohol hit Xiao Shuangbao's face, almost making him vomit.
After listening to his birth date and eight characters, Xiao Shuangbao pinched his nose and told him his fortune.
After the divination, her face became even uglier.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Xiao Shuangbao frowned and asked patiently.
"My wife ran away with my son and the strange man she was secretly having an affair with. I want to find them back. I can't live without them..." Lu Chao said with a distraught look on his face.
Little Shuangbao pursed her lips and looked at him.
"Really?" she asked again.
"Yes, that's it... Please help me! People outside say that you are a little god, and there is nothing you can't calculate!" Lu Chao suddenly raised his head, his pair of bloodshot eyes filled with a sharp and fanatical light.
"What about the reward? Can you afford it?" Xiao Shuangbao asked instead of refusing.
"Yes, yes. But I heard that the reward here is whatever I can give, right?" When Lu Chao heard about silver, the light in his eyes dimmed again.
"Of course it's true. Even if you can only give me a penny, I can still help you." Xiao Shuangbao said with a sneer on his lips.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chao actually took out a penny from his pocket.
He placed the penny on the table with a look of reluctance and pushed it in front of Xiao Shuangbao.
Little Shuangbao didn't even want to answer it.
She suppressed her nausea and accepted the penny.
Then he stood up and said, "I have figured out where your wife and children are. Now, I will take you to find them. Do you want to go?"
When Lu Chao heard this, he was overjoyed: "Go!"
The two of them left the room one after the other.
In another room, the guard Lin Zhuo had sent to keep an eye on Little Shuangbao immediately went in to report, "The first person to seek out this little saint's fortune-teller today is a famous gambler in the city. He had three fingers chopped off for gambling and sold his three sons to pay off his gambling debts. I suspect he wants to sell his wife and children as well in order to get them back."
Hearing this, Lin Zhuo smiled sarcastically. "What little saint girl are you talking about? She actually helped the gambler find his wife and children. If she really found them, wouldn't that force his wife and children to death? Come on, let's see! At the critical moment, we can rescue the gambler's wife and children, so that the people in the city can see how the Lin family in Jincheng is helping the world!"
"Master, your opinion is great." The guard complimented respectfully.
Lin Zhuo stood up and followed Xiao Shuangbao out of the restaurant.
This time, Xiao Shuangbao did not take a carriage, but walked on the street with Lu Chao.
Lu Chao had a hangover last night. He had been eating, drinking, having fun and gambling for a long time, and his body was already hollowed out. He kept walking on the street like this. Soon, he was so tired that he was out of breath and could not walk anymore.
He couldn't walk anymore, so he refused to walk.
"Since you took my money, you should do a good job for me and bring my wife and children back to me immediately! Instead of making me follow you around the streets aimlessly! Besides, don't you have a carriage? Why don't you ask me to ride in the carriage with you?" Lu Chao sat on the ground and acted like a rogue, staring at Xiao Shuangbao and said.
Little Shuangbao felt disgusted when he saw his true colors revealed.
She took out the copper coin and handed it directly to Lu Chao: "If that's what you said, then I'll return the money to you. It was only a penny, but it required so much effort from me. But I calculated that if you find your wife and children, you can earn much more than this penny, right? I'm afraid you will make a fortune.
"You can either get up and continue following me, taking the windfall or asking me to return this penny. It's your choice."
Xiao Shuangbao gave Lu Chao two choices.
Lu Chao didn't expect that she could actually calculate so much. When he thought of the windfall she mentioned, his eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't even complain about being tired and got up from the ground!
"Of course I will get rich! I knew it! I won't be so unlucky! I will definitely get rich one day!" He immediately shouted loudly with his eyes shining.
"Then let's go." Xiao Shuangbao resisted the urge to give him a cold look, and after saying that, he turned around and walked ahead.
Lu Chao hurried to follow.
Not long after, the two passed by a casino.
Lu Chao suddenly couldn't walk anymore.
"If I had known earlier, I should have asked you to help me win a big one..." He muttered, then thought of Xiao Shuangbao's amazing calculations and immediately regretted it. "I don't want to look for my wife and children anymore. Can you take me in to gamble? You know how to calculate, so you'll definitely be able to predict the outcome!"
After spending just a short while together, Xiao Shuangbao really wanted to punch Lu Chao a few times!
However, after taking a deep breath, she still held back.
"Not to mention that I've already calculated it for you. It can't be replaced. Even if it could be replaced, where would you get the capital to gamble with?" Little Shuangbao said to him, "I advise you to follow me to find your wife and children first. After you make that windfall, you can gamble again. The winnings will be huge. Then you can gamble however you want."
"You're right! You're right! Little Saint, I'll listen to you!" Lu Chao swallowed, glanced greedily at the casino door, nodded, and followed Xiao Shuangbao away.
Xiao Shuangbao took Lu Chao around Jincheng almost in a big circle.
Lu Chao was so tired that he felt like mud and could hardly walk.
Xiao Shuangbao then let him rest for a short while, and then continued walking with him, finally stopping at the door of a house: "Your wife and children are inside."
"What?"
When Lu Chao heard this, a fierce look appeared on his face and he immediately rushed in to catch the person.
"Wait!" However, Xiao Shuangbao stopped him.
"What are you going to do now?" Lu Chao looked anxious and confused.
"I calculated that there are more people in here than just your wife and children. How about this: you call the person who wants to trade with you and buy your wife and children over. Then we can work together to sell all the people in this yard. We can make a lot of money, and you can give me 30% of it." Xiao Shuangbao said.
