"Alright, without further ado, let's continue connecting with the second person who is destined to meet us."
The live chat was flooded with messages saying "Wait a minute," but the viewers' actions spoke louder than words, and they all clicked the request to connect without stopping.
The second person we met was a ninety-something-year-old grandmother with a full head of white hair, whose once youthful face was now etched with the marks of time.
She gives off a very gentle feeling, like the warm sun in winter.
Seemingly surprised that she could actually connect to Wanjiao's line, the old lady was so excited that she burst into tears.
Wan Jiao asked gently, "Grandma, what do you want to know?"
The old woman wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, her voice choked with sobs, and said, "Master, can you help me find my fiancé?"
Wan Jiao immediately recognized the old woman's age: 93. At 93, still thinking about her fiancé—had she never married?
What made Wan Jiao feel most sorry for her was that she couldn't tell anything about the man from the old woman's face.
Therefore, there are only two possibilities.
First: They were destined to be apart in their lives.
Second: Their destiny was stolen by someone else.
Regardless of the reason, Wan Jiao felt from the bottom of her heart that the old lady didn't deserve it.
It's such a waste to sacrifice the best years of one's life for someone with whom there's absolutely no chance.
Could you tell me about his basic situation?
The old woman nodded hurriedly. "He was born on the 3rd day of the 7th lunar month in 1925. He was from Hongxi Village, Zhaojia Town, Wumeng City. He…"
The old lady recounted everything about her "fiancé" in great detail.
Wan Jiao frowned and asked a question that had nothing to do with fortune telling.
"Grandma, why did you and he separate?"
Why did they separate?
The old woman thought seriously for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "That was in the winter of 1945. The international situation was even more complex then than it is now, with frequent wars. Ah Jun was devoted to his country, and just days before our wedding, he resolutely joined the army and went to the battlefield..."
The old woman hesitated, choking back tears several times, before finally speaking again: "Five years later, the mushroom team returned victorious. Everyone who went with him came back, except for him… who disappeared without a trace."
After listening to the old lady's words, the viewers in the live stream began to frequently send comments, expressing their thoughts.
Sigh, communication wasn't as advanced back then, maybe Grandma's fiancé died long ago.
My grandfather also died on the battlefield, and our family only found out ten years after his death...
[I once saw an interview about a grandmother who stayed in a small village in Haicheng her whole life, waiting for her husband who had died in the war to come home.]
I don't know why, but when my grandmother told me these stories, my eyes welled up with tears. In the past, travel was slow, and a lifetime was only enough to love one person.
Wanjiao: "Grandma, have you been waiting for him your whole life?"
The old woman nodded. "We agreed that if he doesn't return, I won't marry him."
Wan Jiao secretly calculated the old lady's fiancé's birth date and time, her hands clenching involuntarily. After a long while, she finally spoke again, "Didn't you ever think that he had already died on the battlefield?"
Of course, the old lady had thought about it.
But that wasn't enough for her to give up waiting for him.
She always believed that if he wasn't dead, he would come back. And if he was dead, his spirit would return.
He said that no matter what, he would come back to me.
The comments section exploded.
For the first time, I so desperately wanted to live alone.
I hope my grandmother's fiancé is still alive and can come back to see her.
[Host, please help grandma's fiancé find out if he's still alive and where he is now.]
The old woman's words and the comments on the screen left Wan Jiao completely bewildered. For the first time in her life, she dared not, and did not want to, tell the fortune teller the truth.
Wan Jiao remained silent for a long time, which made the old lady and netizens anxious.
The old woman became agitated. "Master, have you already foreseen something? Is it something bad?"
Netizens.
[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap! This is the first time I've ever seen a streamer with such a 'life is meaningless' expression. Could it be that his grandmother truly loved him in vain?]
Help! Don't do this! I don't want heartbreak, I want sweet love...
Brothers and sisters, let me tell you a joke. There's a law called Murphy's Law!!!
Wan Jiao cannot lie.
Since the old lady asked, there was no reason for her to keep quiet.
She gave a muffled "hmm," and said, "Grandma, you are a long-lived person. What fate has wronged you in this life, it will surely be repaid in full in the next."
Wan Jiao wasn't trying to comfort the old lady.
Because you can really tell from the old lady's face that she did good deeds and accumulated virtue throughout her life, and that she lived to the age of 105 and died peacefully in her sleep.
Such people will be taken care of in their next life, and will have a privileged family background and a smooth life.
The old lady waited for her fiancé for over seventy years, and having witnessed countless joys and sorrows, partings and reunions, she had long since become indifferent to life's ups and downs.
The reason why she still wants to find him is mostly due to her "obsession".
Although Wan Jiao's words essentially revealed the "truth," it didn't completely dissuade the old woman. Her eyes were slightly lowered, revealing no emotion. She hesitated for about three or four minutes before finally looking up at Wan Jiao on the screen again. "Master, I still want to see him."
"Are you really sure?" Wan Jiao didn't quite agree with the old lady's decision. "The truth might be even more cruel than you imagine, you..."
"Yes, I want to see him!" the old woman said with unwavering determination.
Wan Jiao sighed, "Okay."
The single word "good" caused an uproar among viewers in the live stream, with hundreds of thousands of comments flooding the screen, all saying that the old lady's fiancé was a scoundrel and that she shouldn't meet him.
Wan Jiao said, "This is Grandma's own choice, and I hope everyone will respect her."
Wan Jiao thought to herself: If she weren't a cultivator who deeply understood that she shouldn't interfere with other people's karma, she would definitely be even more opposed than the netizens.
What I'm saying is, shouldn't people who deceive others' true feelings be put to death?
…
Wan Jiao first asked the old lady who she was with.
The old lady said that she adopted a daughter when she was young, and now she lives with her granddaughter. This live stream was taught to her by her granddaughter.
Wan Jiao nodded thoughtfully. "Grandma, let your granddaughter take you out and take a taxi to Linyuan Community."
The old woman agreed, but her granddaughter was not so calm and exclaimed in surprise, "Master, are you talking about Linyuan Residential Area in our city?"
Wan Jiao hummed in agreement.
Upon receiving Wan Jiao's response, the expression on the grandmother's granddaughter's face on the split screen instantly cracked.
I sensed something unusual.
[Help! This can't be what I think, right? Could it be that Grandma waited her whole life, and everyone around her knew, but they all helped that man keep it from her?]
If that's really the case, then it would be truly cruel of God if that man didn't die...
