Chapter 215 "Destiny"
The bustling and noisy street disappeared from the old lady's sight in an instant. She walked over quickly, three steps at a time, with a look of surprise and confusion on her face.
"Where did this Taoist priest come from? What did he mean by what he just said?"
The old Taoist was wearing a simple robe, his hair was messy, and he was not wearing shoes. He looked quite shabby.
Only the pair of half-closed old eyes would occasionally flash with brilliance, adding a touch of mysterious temperament.
"Why do you ask such a question when you already know the answer?"
The old Taoist stopped at the foot of the memorial archway, and no matter how Diao invited him, he refused to go inside and sit down.
He shook his head while speaking, and the words "mystifying" were written all over his face.
If it were another time or another place, Diao would have definitely treated him as a liar and kicked him out, but the first sentence the old Taoist said hit the spot that mattered most in her heart.
now.
The old lady looked back and saw more than a dozen tables filled with hundreds of people. She looked around again and again but couldn't find her granddaughter, and she couldn't help feeling worried.
"Since the Taoist priest has seen it, I, an old woman, have nothing to hide. It's true that there is only one granddaughter left in the family...but what does this have to do with fate? Could it be that my fate is bad, and that has brought trouble to my descendants?"
"Don't worry, old lady. That's not what I meant." The old Taoist waved his hand. "From what I've seen, you are a person of great merit. Although you lived in poverty in the first half of your life, you are destined to enjoy glory in the second half. But your granddaughter..."
Diao didn't care about glory or not. All she cared about was her granddaughter. She asked hurriedly, "How is my granddaughter?"
The old Taoist turned his head slightly and glanced at the third table on the right.
"Your granddaughter is very nosy."
Diao was dumbfounded.
What does this mean?
Although her granddaughter does like to meddle in other people's affairs...but there is no need to bring it up specifically, right?
Noticing that the old lady's expression had become alert, the old Taoist laughed a few times, took out a brocade box and presented it with both hands.
"When there's injustice in the world, there have to be people who intervene. What I've seen today is truly well-deserved! I offer this small gift to Miss Shen. Old Madam, don't worry, your granddaughter's blessings are still to come!"
The old man looked thin and had a white beard, but he was full of confidence and his laughter could be heard throughout the street.
When Chen Chunxing noticed it, all that was left in front of him was a familiar figure.
"What is this person doing here?"
Diao smacked her lips and handed her the brocade box, herself baffled: "Why does it sound like you're here to sell dog-skin plasters?"
“…”
Chen Chunxing casually opened the brocade box, his nonchalant expression froze for a moment, and his eyes froze slightly.
There was a jade talisman lying inside.
The style was extremely similar to the two coins she had obtained before, but this time, there were no numbers vaguely marked on it, but two words were clearly engraved on it.
"Destiny?"
She was a little confused. What did this have to do with her?
Chen Chunxing had an idea and ran to find Xue Yongan.
The young man was stuck at the table, surrounded by "bad guys" who were trying to persuade him to drink.
I don't know who spread the rumor that the county magistrate had a bad temper and would kiss anyone he caught when he was drunk! This caused this group of idlers to raise their wine bowls and shove them in front of him.
But rumors are just rumors after all.
When Chen Chunxing walked over, the table was full of drunks lying under it, but Xue Yongan was still standing straight, looking relaxed.
"Isn't this just showing off one's sword in front of Guan Gong..."
That’s two kilograms for one person!
With just this little bit of low-alcohol liquor from ancient times, she was afraid that he would get too full.
"Someone just came to give a gift." Chen Chunxing threw the jade talisman to Xue Yongan.
He caught it steadily, took a look, and frowned: "Who?"
"It's the old Taoist priest I met last time in Liuren City."
The two of them were talking shoulder to shoulder, one was busy putting food into the boy's bowl, and the other was holding the fruit wine that had been hidden for a long time and handing it to the little girl.
Hearing her say this, Xue Yongan looked at the jade talisman again and put it in his arms.
"That old man is being sinister, sending jade talismans everywhere. Who knows what he's waiting for? I'll keep the things for you. If there's trouble, I..."
Chen Chunxing smiled and did not stop him.
But some people couldn't stand it anymore.
Shen Mingqiu jumped up from the next table and carried the wine jar as big as his head into Xue Yongan's arms.
"Brother-in-law, I'll call you brother-in-law. Today is your and my sister's wedding day. Is it too much for me to offer you a glass of wine?"
Xue Yongan looked at the wine jar in his arms, then at the small wine cup he was holding, and smiled: "Not too much."
After saying that, he looked up to the sky and drank.
Chen Mingqiu finally managed to play a trick on him, but he still felt uncomfortable all over. He raised his wine cup towards Chen Chunxing again, pursed his lips, and made it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
A moment later.
Just now she stammered, "Why don't you wait for me to grow up..."
The words are not finished.
Shen Zhixia covered his mouth and dragged him away, with the little fourth child making a fuss beside him.
"Third brother peed himself! Third brother peed himself!"
The Shen family doesn't have the habit of spoiling bad boys, only Xue Yongan has a good temper.
Chen Chunxing sneered: "Little brat..."
After the engagement banquet.
Before long, it was time for Wang Youcai to leave.
at night.
The old man turned into a ghost, wandered around the streets, and then left with He Liangpu very decisively.
Now the kang is built, the sweet potato seedlings are grown, and the skill of making glass is taught to the young people... There is really nothing to worry about.
He and Lao Song arrived almost at the same time, so there was nothing to say goodbye to.
After we leave today, in a few days, the two old brothers will still be able to play mahjong and brag in the underworld.
Only the eldest child, Niu Chunhua, was unhappy and insisted on giving the children more homework.
Well, each person wrote a short essay titled "What is love in this world?"
…
In the end, it was Lin Popo who saved the children from danger - she promised Niu Chunhua that she would go to the underworld to organize a blind date in order to reduce the reincarnation pressure of the ghosts waiting to be reincarnated.
"Sister, are you still worried about me? I've already found out! Uncle Wang doesn't have a partner in the human world. His children were all adopted from an orphanage. Well, they look a bit like Mr. Qi."
"As for Aunt Niu, her family background was not good, she was a landlord. Because she was afraid of getting in trouble with Uncle Wang, she cruelly broke up with him and went abroad."
"Later, they both grew older, and because of various misunderstandings... they ultimately didn't get along. After Uncle Wang died, Aunt Niu died of depression within two years."
"If you ask me, the old man is the same. He's too proud to admit that he ever liked Aunt Niu...Okay, don't worry about it. I'll take care of it for you!"
Chen Chunxing didn't even want to care about it. He was too busy with human affairs, let alone the underworld that he couldn't set foot in right now?
Just do your job and wait until she dies.
Ever since they received the jade talisman from the Taoist priest, the two of them have been interested in it.
Liuren City is located next to the dragon vein. If there is any ulterior motive, it will always be a trouble.
The group of people who did strange things in the county town last time have not been caught yet. It’s almost the end of the year, so we have to catch them quickly.
