Chapter 15: First Hexagram
"Old man, what should I call you?" Zhong Nianyao looked at the old man in front of her who was giving her advice in a kind way, and suddenly became interested.
The old man didn't expect Zhong Nianyao to suddenly change the subject. However, after a moment of hesitation, he still replied, "My last name is Yang, and everyone around me calls me Master Yang."
Zhong Nianyao nodded, then changed the subject and said with a smile, "Grandpa Yang, it's fate that we meet here today. So how about I tell you the first fortune today?"
"ha?"
Zhong Nianyao's actions made Old Man Yang stunned. When he looked at Zhong Nianyao, there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes, "Little girl, you——"
"Grandpa Yang, considering we're destined to meet today, it's my first day opening the stall, and you're my first customer," Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "this divination is free."
Old Man Yang felt that he couldn't see through Zhong Nianyao at all, and he had no idea what she was trying to do. However, since she had promised to tell him a fortune for free, he didn't care. It was a good opportunity to see what kind of confidence this girl had to set up a stall here.
You know, although there are many scammers here on Tongtian Bridge, there are still many people with real skills. Even if they are scammers, their words are very sophisticated.
If you don't have any skills, you will definitely not be able to survive in Tongtian Bridge.
Seeing Old Man Yang's expression, Zhong Nianyao knew that he had no objection. She smiled and said, "Then write a word!"
Old man Yang did not object. He picked up the pen on the table, thought for a while, and wrote the word "Yang" on the white paper.
After Zhong Nianyao took a look at the word on the table, she began to count with her fingers and asked, "Grandpa Yang, what are you calculating?"
Old Man Yang didn't answer directly, but instead asked with a smile, "Little girl, why don't you calculate what I'm going to calculate?"
This was obviously a dilemma. He did this just to make the little girl in front of him give up and stop wasting time here.
Who would have thought that after hearing such words, Zhong Nianyao didn't even frown. She just looked at the boy again, then looked at Old Man Yang's face, and then said lightly, "Well, I'll tell you now, the person you're looking for is still alive, and you will meet one day."
As soon as these words came out, Old Man Yang's face changed drastically. He stood up suddenly. The look in his eyes when he looked at Ye Leng'an was full of heat. His throat was extremely hoarse. After a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence, "You...what you said, is it true?"
There was endless anticipation in that voice, along with a hint of timidity, as if he was worried the other person was lying. At that moment, he no longer cared about doubting the little girl across from him; his mind was only filled with what she had said.
Zhong Nianyao nodded. "You wrote the traditional Chinese character for Yang, which is also your surname. 'Wu' represents negation, so you and he are not together now. But trees grow towards the sun, and the person you are looking for is full of vitality and alive. New Year's Day is the first day of the year, representing rebirth and hope."
"So, the person you're looking for is still alive, and there's hope for you to meet him or her."
"Also, your face doesn't show any signs of losing a child, but the Palace of Children is faintly dim, indicating that you are not together at the moment. Therefore, the person you are looking for is your son."
At this moment, Old Man Yang was filled with shock. When he looked at Zhong Nianyao, the contempt he had before was gone. Instead, he looked at her with a hint of respect. He spoke again anxiously, "When can we meet?"
He no longer suspected that the other party was a liar. No one here knew that he was looking for his son. In fact, no one knew that he had a son.
His son was kidnapped when he was about a year old. Although he had some knowledge of feng shui, he couldn't find his son. For so many years, he never gave up. But he felt a vague sense of despair in his heart, thinking that he might never see his son again in his lifetime.
However, Zhong Nianyao's words today rekindled his hope. He didn't ask for much, just that he could see his son again in his lifetime. That was enough.
"It's almost time." Zhong Nianyao said with a smile, "So, comfort your wife and cheer her up. That's the only way we can be reunited one day."
"Okay, okay." Old man Yang kept rubbing his hands, trying to calm his inner excitement. "I will be fine, and she will be fine too. We will all wait for our son to come back."
After saying that, he stood up and bowed to Zhong Nianyao, "Thank you, little girl."
