Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Third Hexagram
In front of the booth,
As Lian Ge's voice fell, the man fell silent, and the front of the stall suddenly fell silent.
Long
The man hesitated and asked,
"Little master, can I ask, how much does it cost to calculate a hexagram?"
Hearing this, Lian Ge smiled slightly,
"Calculate first and then collect the money, and collect the money when you calculate it correctly, do you want to calculate it?"
"Count, if you can calculate it, little master, I am willing to give as much as you want. The man nodded decisively and replied.
"And what do you want to ask?"
Hearing this, this person looked at Lian Ge and hesitated,
"Little master, I want to calculate, where is my child ...... now?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the man continued to speak as if he were talking,
"My family was originally in Jiangdong Province, at that time I was a workshop director of a factory, my daughter-in-law worked well, she worked as an accountant in the factory, and we also had a child, and we have always lived well......
But when the child was five years old, I still remember that it was the day after her birthday, it was Sunday, I promised to take her to the amusement park to play, but that day the factory suddenly called and said that there was an urgent matter to work overtime, so I didn't take her there, I guess she should have been very angry at that time......
I didn't go to the amusement park, and there was no one at home, so I asked her to play downstairs with a few neighbors' children downstairs, and by the way, I also let the neighbors take care of it...... Usually it's okay like this, and it shouldn't be okay, because our factory is closed to the outside world, and the staff room is also in the factory, and there is a doorman at the door......
But that was the day...... When I came back from overtime, the child was gone, and not only my child, but another neighbor's child was also missing......
At that time, I reported to the factory, the whole factory, thousands of people, after two days of searching, I didn't find it, and the child just disappeared out of thin air......"
After saying that, the man was a little embarrassed,
"Little master, I'm sorry...... I don't know how, but I said so much as I said. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge looked at this person, shook his head slightly, and then asked:
"It's been a long time since your child went missing, hasn't it?"
"yes...... If you count it, one more day is ten years...... If I think so, I would be about to enter high school. ”
"Ever thought about giving up?"
Glancing at the man, Lian Ge asked.
"Thought. The man nodded,
"At first, we were looking for two families together, but then they gave up, and at that time I thought about whether to give up too, but when I thought about my daughter, I felt unbearable, so I thought about holding on a little longer, and I have persevered until now. ”
"Where's the wife, divorced?"
"Well, the child was divorced the year after he went missing. But I don't blame her, she loves children more than I do, and when she comes home, she can't help but think of them......"
"Do you regret it?"
Lian Ge looked at this person and said in a calm tone,
"You lost your family, you lost your job, and you were alone for ten years, do you regret it?"
"I don't know. The man shook his head, "I don't know if I regret it, but I think if I haven't found it, I'll keep looking." ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at the person again, and then got up from behind the stall,
"I can tell you where your child is now. I will also tell you the hexagram money you need in advance. ”
The man got up again,
"The hexagram money is, a meal, a high-speed rail ticket, and a question. ”
"No problem, little master. ”
"Let's go. ”
Lian Ge nodded, didn't explain, and after signaling him to follow, he walked straight along the riverbank towards the bridge in the distance.
......
Lian Ge didn't speak again all the way, and the person who followed closely didn't dare to ask more, just silently followed Lian Ge's steps forward.
After walking quickly to the side of the bridge, and then walking along the bridge to the opposite bank,
After walking around the city for about an hour, Lian Ge stopped again.
"Little Master......
When this man saw that the place where he stopped was a bus stop, he couldn't help but be slightly puzzled.
"I can only calculate your daughter's current state, but I can't know where your daughter is now, so I need to find someone to ask. ”
Lian Ge glanced at the current location marked on the bus sign, the Chenghuang Temple in the west of the city, turned his head to look at this person and said,
"Now tell me your name, your daughter's name, and your place of origin. ”
Hearing this, this person was even more puzzled, but after seeing Lian Ge hesitate, he still replied truthfully:
"My name is Chen Houde, and my daughter's name is Chen Yue. He was born in Yongquan City, Gangdong Province......"
Lian Ge nodded,
"Okay, I see. ”
"I'll leave in a while, and after I'm gone, you can go and prepare the hexagram gold, and buy two boxes of lunches, which will be regarded as one meal. Then buy a high-speed rail ticket to Vinh Quan, Gangdong Province. ”
"Okay, little master. Chen Houde wondered in his heart and responded.
Glancing at Chen Houde again, Lian Ge nodded, without saying or explaining anything,
Turning his gaze and looking at the road in front of him, Lian Ge waited quietly.
......
Time passed slowly, and the night deepened,
There were fewer and fewer people waiting around the bus stop of the City God Temple, and in the end, only Lian Ge and Chen Houde were left.
“...... Little master, what are we waiting for?"
When the road became more and more deserted, the time had entered the middle of the night, and after being silent for a long time, Chen Houde couldn't help but ask again.
"Smack. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge closed the book in his hand,
Without answering Chen Houde's question, Lian Ge turned around and looked at the end of the road in front of him,
"Here ......
The moment the words fell, Chen Houde, who was puzzled, also felt the changes in the surrounding environment.
A biting chill hit. It made him feel like he was in the snow.
"Little master, this is ......"
"Remember what I just said to you?"
"Remember...... Buy two boxed lunches and a high-speed rail ticket. ”
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, and then without any more nonsense, he walked straight towards the No. 444 bus that had been parked in front of the bus stop.
"......"
Bus 444 then opened its doors.
When Lian Ge approached, the official of the prefecture driving the hearse also noticed Lian Ge's figure at the same time.
In an instant, the official of the prefecture stood up, walked out of the driver's seat, and respectfully saluted Lian Ge,
"Meet the Celestial Master!"
Hearing this, Lian Ge nodded, and at the same time stepped on the No. 444 bus through the open front side door.
"Celestial Master, so as not to disturb you, do you need to temporarily expel the rest of the ghosts in the car?" asked the official of the underworld respectfully.
Hearing this, Lian Ge glanced at these ghosts who were still in the nightmare period, and shook his head,
"No need, let's go, I need to go to the capital city. ”
"Tianshi, find a place to sit down, and let's go. ”
Realizing that Lian Ge was in a hurry, the official of the prefecture instantly returned to the driver's seat after speaking.
"......"
Then, the front side door closed, and the No. 444 bus restarted and accelerated towards the Difu Xudu City.
......
At the same time, the picture seen in Chen Houde's eyes is a different scene.
In his eyes, the moment Lian Ge stepped on the No. 444 bus, Lian Ge's whole person disappeared directly.
This scene made him stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses again.
"This is meeting a master, meeting a master......" Chen Houde muttered in a low voice, his eyes showing hopeful expectation.
This miraculous scene undoubtedly gave him full confidence.
Thinking of what Lian Ge had told before leaving, after Chen Houde came back to his senses, he trotted towards the distance,
"Two boxes of lunches, and a high-speed rail ticket......"
