Old Shang thought for a moment, then looked at the original owner's soul and asked, "Do you know his birth date and time?"
The original owner shook his head.
Old Shang looked at Xiaoman: "Without his birth date and time, I don't know what will happen to him. Why don't you take me to meet that person?"
"No need. I know."
You know?
"Hmm. I not only know him, I know that woman too. Want her?"
"Yes. How did you know?"
“I’ve investigated them.”
"You even checked my birth date and time?"
"Hmm." The more you know, the greater your chances of winning.
"No wonder you became the God of War."
After a while, Old Shang calculated: "Ten years later, these two people will expose each other and eventually become enemies."
Xiaoman looked at the original owner's soul and said, "Did you hear that? Those two won't have a good ending."
Old Shang: "She wants to see them turn against each other with her own eyes."
Xiaoman frowned: "Do you have a way to let her see it now?"
Old Shang shook his head.
"Won't her soul be scattered if she keeps wandering around in the human world like this?"
"Possibly."
Xiaoman looked at the original owner's soul and said, "Did you hear that?"
Old Shang: "She said she wasn't afraid."
Xiaoman sighed inwardly.
Old Shang said in a low voice, "Too much obsession can easily turn one into a demon."
"Could you take her in first, and then release her in ten years?"
"able."
Xiaoman looked at the original owner's soul and said, "I'll have the master take you in first, and then release you in ten years. Are you willing?"
Old Shang: "She's willing."
"Then you should take her in first."
"good."
After a while, Old Shang collected the original owner's soul into his Buddhist beads.
The next day, Xiaoman took Lao Shang and Lao Guo down the mountain.
Old Shang was wearing an old monk's robe, holding a wooden bowl in his hand and carrying a cloth bag on his back.
Old Guo pushed a cart with some things on it.
Old Guo's clothes were dirty and tattered. Xiaoman didn't know how he could even wear them.
After descending the mountain, Xiaoman parted ways with them.
Ten days later, Xiaoman met up with Lao Shang and Lao Guo at the agreed place. Lao Shang told Xiaoman to wait for them near the county police station.
Three hours later, Lao Shang and Lao Guo arrived, followed by a group of people.
A: "Liar, get out of here!"
B: "Liar, give us our money back!"
C: "Yes, if you don't pay it back, we'll send you to jail."
Old Shang: "I didn't want to lie to you, but... I was just too hungry."
A: "You're lying, you wouldn't even take the food I offered you."
Old Shang: "I..."
Hearing the commotion, the police officers came out of the police station: "What's going on?"
A: "Officer, I have something to tell you..."
It turned out that as soon as Lao Shang entered the county town, he had Lao Guo lie down on the cart. After Lao Guo was settled, Lao Shang pushed him from house to house begging for money. His reason was that he had found an old beggar, the old beggar was sick, and he wanted to take the old beggar to the hospital, but he had no money.
Some people saw that he was a monk and that Lao Guo was dressed in rags, so they gave him some money.
Old Shang pushed Old Guo around to many places. They gave him a little something here and a little something there, and together they made quite a bit of money.
People thought Lao Shang would take Lao Guo to the hospital for treatment, but Lao Shang just dropped Lao Guo off at the restaurant entrance and then ignored him.
A dozen minutes later, a waiter brought Lao Guo a chicken. Lao Guo took one bite and then stopped eating.
The county town wasn't very big to begin with, and the two of them had visited many places. Before long, people knew that Lao Shang had taken Lao Guo out for a nice meal.
People felt cheated and came looking for him. At the time, Lao Shang was eating at a restaurant. As soon as they entered, Lao Shang ran outside. His running away only made them more convinced that he was a swindler.
After they were caught, some people wanted to beat them up. Old Shang immediately leaned in and said, "Go ahead and beat them up, we were just looking for someone to take care of us in our old age."
After he said that, who would dare to beat him up?
Someone wants the money back.
Old Shang retorted, "I have no money, but you can take my life."
Some people wanted to force the money back.
As soon as the other person stretched out their hand, Old Shang lay down on the ground and rolled around, complaining, "Ouch, my head hurts. Ouch, my stomach hurts. Ouch, my arm hurts."
If Lao Shang had pleaded with everyone, perhaps they wouldn't have bothered with them. But he acted like a scoundrel. People were outraged and took them both to the police station.
Xiaoman smiled at Lao Shang, implying, "Wow, the master has this skill too."
Old Shang touched his nose. "I'm sorry you had to see this."
The policeman looked at Lao Shang and then at Lao Guo: "How much money did you swindle from everyone in total?"
Old Shang: "I don't know."
Where's the money?
"have eaten."
The police were in a bit of a dilemma. If they arrested them, the two of them together would cost nearly 150 yuan. If they didn't arrest them, they had indeed lied.
Xiaoman glanced at Lao Shang. Meaning: Don't make things difficult for the police.
Old Shang nodded. "Officer, please don't arrest me. I... I'll return the money to them."
A: "How can I return it? You've already eaten it all."
B: "Exactly. You're not planning to lie to people again, are you?"
Old Shang: "I can tell fortunes."
B: "See? Trying to fool people again."
Old Shang: "Really, I really can tell fortunes."
A: "Then you calculate who among these people believes you?"
"Okay." Old Shang walked straight towards Xiaoman: "Girl, your man is in the army, right?"
Xiaoman smiled and said, "Yes."
"You're going to find him, right?"
"right."
"Your man will face a life-threatening ordeal this year."
How did you know?
“I can tell from your face.”
A: "Don't believe him, he's a liar."
Xiaoman: "You can tell from my face?"
Old Shang: "Hmm."
"So, how many younger sisters do you think I have?"
"one."
How many younger brothers?
"one."
"How many older brothers?"
"There aren't any. You're the boss."
Xiaoman frowned: "Is my man really going to face a fatal calamity this year?"
Old Shang nodded.
Xiaoman grabbed Lao Shang's arm: "Master, please help me resolve this. I... I don't want to be a widow."
“I can help you resolve this. But you have to adopt both of us.”
"this……"
"To avert a death calamity is to defy the heavens. Each attempt to avert it reduces lifespan by ten years."
"this……"
"If you don't want to, then forget it. I wouldn't help you if I didn't want to be homeless."
Xiaoman gritted her teeth: "Fine, I'll adopt you."
A: "Comrade, he... he really got it right just now?"
Xiaoman didn't say anything.
Police officer: "Comrade, are you really going to adopt them?"
Xiaoman: "Mmm."
"This...why don't you want to discuss this with your partner?"
"No need. Comrade, please help me with the formalities."
"this……"
B: "Comrade, since you're going to adopt them, then what about the money they swindled..."
Xiaoman took out a wad of cash from her pocket and gave it to Lao Shang: "Give the money back to him."
Everyone: With so much money, no wonder they dared to adopt two people at once.
Some people who were just there to watch the fun saw Xiaoman being so generous and wanted to take advantage of the situation. "I just gave you a dollar."
Old Shang looked at Old Guo. Old Guo glanced at the man and said, "No, I didn't give it to him."
The man paused for a moment: "I clearly gave you a dollar."
Old Guo ignored him.
Old Shang pointed to another person and asked, "Old Guo, how much did he give?"
"Sanmao".
Where is he?
"piece."
...
After the money was repaid, the people dispersed.
The police brought Xiaoman, Lao Shang, and Lao Guo to the police station: "Comrade, are you really going to adopt them?"
"Um."
"Well... you should discuss it with your partner. If you don't, I really don't dare to process your paperwork."
"He's in the military."
“We have a phone here, you can give him a call.”
"good."
