Chapter Twenty-Seven: Breaking the Hair and Pushing the Fate
Although it is located on the same border, Wuma Town is obviously much larger than Piaoxue Town, because it is close to the Su River, and there is an endless stream of business and transportation. Wuma Town is surrounded by mountains, and the land is fertile and abundant, so the local residents still have no worries about food and clothing.
A group of five people stayed at an inn called Yuelai that night.
Unexpectedly, this stay was three days, because Yun Ci was still in a coma for a day and a night after drinking the medicine that Hongluan had captured, and then woke up leisurely.
Although the person was rescued, Yun Ci's body was very weak, and he was reluctant to even get out of bed and walk, let alone hurry, he didn't expect the red blood polyp to be so powerful, even if the residual poison had been cleared, it could still have such an impact on the body.
At present, there is no better choice, everyone can only stay in the Yuelai Inn temporarily, until the morning of the third day, Yun Ci basically recovered, everyone immediately went to buy horses and dry food, ready to leave the next day.
The antidote corresponding to the residual poison of the red blood polya on Yun Ci's body looks simple, but the process of detoxification is extremely complicated, especially during the day, it is basically to feed the medicine every other hour, and the type and amount of medicine are different each time. As soon as a few of them moved into the inn, everyone took turns decocting and feeding the medicine according to Hongluan's method, and it could almost be said that they had been closed for the past two days.
Hongluan had been to Wuma Town once before, and originally planned to have a good visit, but because there was something at the time, it was delayed. This time, she came back and passed through Wuma Town, but she encountered Yunci's red blood poison, which made her inseparable for the past two days, and finally waited until now, everything was done, and she wanted to go out and wander around again before leaving tomorrow.
Nian Ci thought about it again and again, but was still ready to tell him everything that happened after Yun Ci fell unconscious, so he stayed at the inn with him.
As soon as they got out of the inn and went to the street, Hongluan and Ye Yichen were immediately attracted by the bustling scene in front of them.
Although it was already afternoon, the pedestrians on the street were still in an endless stream, the streets were full of dazzling goods, and the hawkers shouted in various voices, one after another, as if they were afraid that the customers in front of them would not be able to hear.
The streets are wide and flat, and there are many large, richly decorated shops on both sides of the street, with neatly arranged shelves for a dizzying variety of goods. Compared with Piaoxue Town, this is the real town, especially the first time he came to this kind of prosperous place, his eyes were straight, he would look east and west for a while, and even the red luan around him was amused by him and giggled.
But that Ma San, who was not shocked and had seen the world, followed behind the two, his face was full of contempt, if it weren't for the red luan around him, he would have been sarcastic.
At this time, there was a commotion in the crowd in front of him, the noise was endless, Hongluan's curiosity rose, and he looked at each other and smiled, and the two happily squeezed over there to see, it turned out to be a fortune teller woman who had set up a wooden table and was telling fortunes.
The fortune teller woman had long purple hair, a beautiful face, fair skin, and was wearing a moon-white robe, and at this moment her eyes were slightly closed, and she was saying something to a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man sitting opposite her.
Hongluan felt the novelty, and pulled Ye Yichen to squeeze closer to take a closer look.
I saw the middle-aged man take off his hat and put his head to the opposite side, the fortune teller woman groped for a moment with both hands on his head, and quickly pulled out a piece of hair, the middle-aged man didn't seem to be ready, and his mouth bared his teeth.
Ye Yichen was curious, and couldn't help but ask an aunt next to him: "Auntie, what are they doing?"
The aunt looked Ye Yichen up and down, felt angry, and asked rhetorically, "You are a foreigner, right?"
Ye Yichen nodded and said, "Yes, it's the first time I've been here." ”
The aunt pointed to the fortune teller with some smugness and said, "No wonder you don't know." Then let me tell you, she is the world-famous divine arithmetic, Jiuyao Fairy, and you will definitely not guess her fortune-telling methods. ”
The aunt paused, lowered her voice and pretended to be mysterious: "She uses her hair to tell fortunes, and you don't have to open your mouth, she knows what you want to ask. Is there that person sitting across from her?Is there a supplier of all the pharmacies in our Wuma Town, let's see what Fairy Jiuyao will say first" No wonder Hongluan felt that the man was a little familiar, it turned out that he had met it when he was grabbing the medicine two days ago.
Hongluan has heard of many ways to tell fortunes, but it is unheard of to use this hair to calculate, and he thought to himself, it seems that he is going to increase his knowledge again today.
I saw the fortune teller woman, put the hair she had plucked just now back to end, folded it in half, rubbed it in her hand for a moment, then put it in front of her, sniffed it with her nose, and said: "The hair is rough and hot, and the oil is half-bloody, have you drunk a lot of tonic recently?"
"The fairy is right, he has been ill recently, and he is tired, thinking that he is too busy with business and too tired, so he drank more century-old ginseng soup. The middle-aged man was poked by her words, and his face was happy, it seems that the name of Jiuyao Fairy is really not renewed.
"Your hair is long and your forehead is short, your hair is dry and dark, and it is all like there is no way out, I'm afraid it's not as simple as being sick. ”
The fortune teller sighed and continued: "You will definitely die within three days, I advise you to arrange the funeral as soon as possible, it is good for yourself and your family." ”
The middle-aged man was furious when he heard this, he was already tall and strong, and he suddenly picked up the stool on the ground and scolded: "Calling you a fairy, it is to lift you, I didn't expect to be so ignorant, and cursed me." ”
At the beginning, the middle-aged man saw the fairy's ability, and he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that she could save his life, but he didn't think that she didn't say a word, but he cursed him to die early.
"It's too late to make amends. The fortune teller was still calm and relaxed, and said lightly.
Strange to say, after the originally angry middle-aged man heard these four words, his expression immediately became lost, he slowly put down the stool, and said, "The fairy is right. He put down a penia, and then departed.
Hongluan and Ye Yichen glanced at each other, each other's faces were full of surprise, the four words of the fortune teller were extremely vague, but both of them understood what they meant.
This middle-aged man mistakenly ingested the fake medicine he sold, causing himself to be seriously ill and terminally ill, and now he wants to continue his life with a hundred years of ginseng soup, but the wood has been completed, and there is no way to return to heaven, and there are only three days left to live, so the fortune teller asked him to arrange his own funeral as soon as possible.
Ye Yichen never thought that with a simple hair, he could deduce so many things, it was really mysterious, so he said to Hongluan: "It's incredible, Hong'er, let's try it."
Hongluan originally had this plan, and when he heard him say this, he immediately nodded and said, "Brother Yichen, let me come first." As soon as she finished speaking, she sat down in front of the fortune teller, followed the example of the middle-aged man just now, leaned her head over, and said with a smile: "There is a labor fairy, please help the little woman to count." ”
The fortune teller smiled slightly, groped with her hands on the red luan's head, pulled out a hair, beat it in front of her nose, and said: "The girl has high hair and low forehead, and her taste is clear and low, she should be wandering outside and haven't returned home for a long time, right?"
Hongluan was overjoyed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but applaud and said, "What the fairy said is very true, but can you figure out what I want to ask?"
The fortune teller smiled again and said: "The girl's eyes are like autumn water, and her face is like peach blossoms. After speaking, she dipped her hand in the tea in the cup, and wrote the word "love" on the table one by one.
I didn't expect this fortune teller woman to be so skilled, just a few glances, then said what she thought, Hongluan's face flushed, quickly wiped off the love words on the table, lowered her voice and said: "Be quiet, I just want to see where my love will be in the future, and who my heart belongs to, can I calculate it?"
At this time, the fortune teller picked up Hongluan's hair again, folded it in half twice in a row, rubbed it in her hand for a while, sniffed it with her nose, and said: "Don't ask where you are, cherish the people in front of you." ”
Hongluan's face blushed even more, she unconsciously glanced at Ye Yichen next to her, she didn't know what she was thinking, and for a while she actually saw her in a daze.
Seeing that Hongluan Leng was there, Ye Yichen didn't continue to talk to the fortune teller, thinking that she had finished counting, so he walked over and said, "Hong'er, what do you see, it's my turn." ”
Hongluan reacted when she heard this, and quickly got up to give up her seat, obviously still immersed in the joy just now, and didn't forget to praise: "Brother Yichen, she is very accurate, it is worth a try." ”
After sitting down at night, the fortune teller took a hair from his head, folded it in half, sniffed it in her nose, but showed a strange expression, as if she felt something strange, and then folded her hair again, smelled it again, and repeated it many times, before she spoke: "Young man, your hair is very special, what do you want to ask?"
Ye Yichen was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically: "Can't you use human hair to calculate my problem directly, why do you still ask me?"
Hongluan next to him also sighed, and looked at the fortune teller woman in confusion.
The fortune teller woman was also stunned for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking, and only after a long time did she speak: "I have encountered countless kinds of hair since I used the fortune telling method of breaking hair and pushing life, but it is the first time I have encountered such a strange hair, and I can't figure out at all, what he wants to ask." ”
