Chapter 64: Climbing
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Zhao Xuanlang's eyes lit up, and he quickly pointed at himself and said, "Boss, take a look, is there any skill I can learn? Look, as your little brother, if I don't even have any skills at all, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for you?"
Zhong Nianyao looked up, looked him up and down, then shook her head and said directly, "You have no talent in any aspect."
After these words were spoken, Zhao Xuanlang looked like an abandoned dog, dejected.
Zhong Nianyao ignored Zhao Xuanlang and continued to wait calmly for the next person to come and tell fortunes.
After the first one, the second one sat down quickly, as if afraid that if he was a step slower, someone else would get there first.
In just over ten minutes, Zhong Nian Yao had already calculated three divinations, and then she started to clean up the table.
After seeing this situation, the people around who came late couldn't help but sigh in regret, and they all regretted that they came too late and couldn't catch up.
Zhao Xuanlang, who was standing by, couldn't help but gasp in surprise after seeing Zhong Nianyao's actions. "Boss, you...you really left like this."
From the first customer to the last, not counting the waiting time beforehand, it only took half an hour. None of the surrounding stalls were so capricious.
Moreover, looking at the people around, it seemed that they had come here specifically to ask the boss for a fortune-telling. However, seeing the boss's behavior, no one came up to say anything, but all of them were annoyed.
"If you're not leaving, what are you going to do here?" Zhong Nianyao asked in surprise, "Do you want to stay here and continue to visit?"
If that was the case, she would leave first. She often set up stalls here and didn't find anything special here.
Seeing that Zhong Nianyao had already packed up the table and was about to leave, Zhao Xuanlang didn't care about anything else and hurriedly followed her.
The two of them had dinner together before going back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.
There was still one day off the next day, and Zhong Nian Yao thought about it and decided not to set up a stall at Tongtian Bridge, but to go hiking in Wuling Mountain in the suburbs.
Wuling Mountain wasn't very high, and one of the main reasons she chose to climb it was because of the Wuling Temple on the mountain. It was said that there was a highly accomplished monk there who could accurately tell people's fortunes. However, he rarely left the mountain. Even the most powerful officials and wealthy families would seek his fortune-telling. However, he only considered those with a predestined relationship.
Of course, she wasn't planning on doing anything, she was just curious, so she decided to go and take a look.
Moreover, there is abundant spiritual energy on Wuling Mountain, which is very helpful to her.
Wuling Mountain is not very steep, but it is still very strenuous to climb. However, this is not a difficult task for Zhong Nianyao.
Since coming here, she has been exercising every day. After all, a good body is very important. Now that her body is very healthy, this amount of exercise is naturally no problem.
On the way, her cell phone rang, and she saw it was Zhao Xuanlang calling. After she answered the call, Zhao Xuanlang's voice came from the other end.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
"What's up?"
Unlike Zhao Xuanlang's enthusiasm, Zhong Nianyao's tone was much colder. "If it's nothing important, I'll hang up first."
"Wait," Zhao Xuanlang hurriedly stopped him, his tone still hinting at guilt. "Boss, I really do have something to talk to you about, it's... it's..."
Listening to Zhao Xuanlang's hesitant voice, Zhong Nianyao frowned and couldn't help but feel a little impatient. "If you have something to say, just say it. If not, don't bother me. If you continue to talk nonsense here, I will blacklist you right now."
"No, no, no, Boss, please don't blacklist me!" Zhao Xuanlang said quickly, "Actually, after I got home last night, Ruikai came to apologize in person and said he wanted to treat you to a meal to express his gratitude. And then...then when we were talking, I accidentally brought up Meng Rou's matter."
"Of course, I didn't directly say what the problem was with Meng Rou's body. I just said that the problem hasn't been resolved yet."
"Boss, I didn't mean to do that. Please don't be angry!"
In fact, he wanted to say it last night, but he was worried that it would disturb Zhong Nian Yao's rest, so he endured it until today.
He also regretted that he had spoken without thinking and had actually said this directly. He was really afraid that Zhong Nianyao would be angry because of this and would no longer want to acknowledge him as her younger brother.
"It's just such a small matter?" Zhong Nianyao said nonchalantly, "If there's nothing else, just hang up!"
"Ha, boss, you're not angry at all?" Zhao Xuanlang, who was originally a little nervous, was very surprised after hearing what Zhong Nianyao said.
"What's there to be angry about? This is the truth. Even if you didn't say it, they would have found out soon enough. Besides, the money and goods have already been paid between them, so there's nothing more to do with me."
Not long after she left the Meng family yesterday, she received the compensation transferred from the Meng family. It was not a small amount, but not too much either, five million.
She didn't care too much about the money. After all, her biggest gain was the merit she gained from saving the baby ghost.
This also made her soul and this body fit more closely together.
She could feel refreshed as soon as she woke up in the morning. That was why she decided to go hiking.
Hearing that Zhong Nianyao was not angry, Zhao Xuanlang felt more relieved. "Boss, where are you now? Are you still going to set up the stall today? Can I go with you?"
Although the stall was only set up for a short time yesterday, he still found it very interesting. So, if Zhong Nianyao went to Tongtian Bridge again today, he would also go with her.
Listening to the constant noisy sounds coming from the phone, Zhong Nian Yao took the phone away, glanced at the screen, and decisively chose the hang-up button.
Then he put his phone in his pocket and continued walking up.
On the other side, Zhao Xuanlang suddenly heard a busy tone coming from his ear, and was a little confused for a moment. He stared blankly at the screen of his phone, which had turned off. After a long time, he decided not to call back.
Because he was really afraid that Zhong Nian Yao was not angry because he said the wrong thing, but was angry because he disturbed her.
Shortly after hanging up the phone, Zhong Nianyao arrived at the mountain.
What comes into view is a temple that looks a bit old but is still well maintained.
