Chapter 962: Divination
The old grandmother sat on the edge of the bed and thought about it for a long time, she didn't know whether to accept Yue'er's suggestion, she was old, she had been living alone for many years, and she felt powerless.
If you fall ill, you probably won't be able to stand up again.
She wanted to have a companion.
However, she was already married, and although her husband had died in the battle decades ago, and she could not even remember what his wife looked like, in the depths of her heart, he still retained his place and became the faith of the soul.
The imprint of a married woman was deeply engraved into her heart.
"Grandma?" Yue'er looked at the old grandmother who was in a daze and reminded carefully.
The old grandmother slowly came back to her senses, "Baby, forget it, I'm already married, I'm going to be buried in a few years, I've survived so many years, are I afraid of staying up for a few more years? I'm afraid that I'm going to lose my festival now, and I'll be underground in the future, and I won't be able to face my old wife before." ”
"Grandma, your wife has passed away for so many years, if he knows that you are working so hard in the world just to guard him, he will definitely not feel good in his heart, if he loves you, he will also want you to be happy, right?" Yue'er looked at the old grandmother and asked.
"He loved me so much that I remember the first gift he gave me, which was a daffodil. Although the grandmother can't remember the appearance of the old grandfather, she still remembers the first sweet encounter between the two when she was young, and the daffodils are the eternal memory of the grandmother's heart.
"If it's not the old man who has passed away, but you, are you willing to let the old man be willing to suffer for the rest of his life in order to protect you?" Yue'er asked as she looked at the old grandmother.
The old woman shook her head, "How can you bear it?"
"Isn't this the end? The old man must have thought the same way, and he will definitely have knowledge and support you. Yue'er persuaded her grandmother.
"Is it really possible?" the old woman hesitated.
"Yes, grandmother, if you don't believe us, we can do a divination? Yue'er said to her grandmother.
"Divination?" asked the old woman.
"That's right, when you're not completely sure about something, don't you always have to rely on divination to ask the sky?" Yue'er said with a smile.
"But how do you do divination?" the old grandmother had never divined, so naturally she didn't know.
In the Warring States Period, the common people usually did not know divination, because the common people did not have any major matters to divination, even if their sons and husbands went to the battlefield, they usually just prayed and just prayed, and only nobles and monarchs would divination.
Moreover, it is only in major events will divination, for example, a certain country is going to war with a certain country, before the war, both sides will divinate each other, who wins the war has a high probability, if the result of divination is auspicious, then the warriors will usually increase their confidence, if the divination is ominous or fierce, evil, it means that the battle is more auspicious and less.
If the king goes to the battlefield, sometimes he will also divination, who will be my car or guard, before divination, will write the names of several people on the tortoise shell, and then put the tortoise shell on the fire to roast, after the tortoise shell is dried by the fire, there will be cracks, where the crack points to, who will be chosen to be the car or guard.
Of course, the accuracy of this divination method is not very high, usually, the divination results of both warring sides are good, but after a battle, it is impossible to produce two victorious countries, there must be one side to win, one side to lose, so the winning side of the divination and the result is the same, the losing side, the divination and the result is just the opposite.
However, sometimes the kings of the vassal states will do some tricks on the tortoise shell before divination, such as carving some dents in the tortoise shell in advance, so that after the tortoise shell is heated, the weak points will be the first to crack, so that it is easy to divinate the results you want.
"Grandma, don't worry, I'll bring a tortoise shell over tomorrow and give you a divination. Yue'er said to her grandmother.
"Okay, baby, you're so sensible. The old grandmother touched Yue'er's head and said kindly.
In the evening, Yue'er returned to the village and found a piece of tortoise shell in the storehouse, which was used for divination in the village, and was a fine tortoise shell.
It is said that a piece of tortoise shell costs hundreds of gold, which is almost equivalent to the life savings of an ordinary person.
Yue'er took a piece of tortoise shell and was about to leave, when suddenly, a cold voice came from the depths of the warehouse.
"Little lord, what are you doing with tortoise shells?" It was none other than Wufeng who spoke.
"Uncle Feng, are you there?" asked Yue'er, looking back at Wufeng.
"Little master, don't you know that this tortoise shell can only be used during divination and sacrifices? This piece of tortoise shell is worth 100 gold, what do you do with him?" Wufeng walked up to Yue'er and asked.
"I... I thought..."Yue'er stumbled, but she couldn't find any excuse for a while, so she obediently put the tortoise shell back.
"Little master, can't you bear the hard life anymore?If you want to live a rich life, as long as you say a word, why should you be so wronged by yourself?" Wufeng looked at Yue'er and asked.
"No, I don't, Uncle Feng, I'm not afraid of hardship, I can endure any hardship, I don't want to live a rich life, I haven't made any contribution to my father and the country, I don't expect anything to live a rich life, as long as I have a bowl of porridge to drink. Yue'er hurriedly said.
Yue'er was ashamed to withdraw from the warehouse, and under the moonlight, his fair face looked a little pale.
He felt that he was useless, and he wanted to be kind enough to help his grandmother with divination, but he couldn't do it.
A small tortoiseshell made him so embarrassed.
Yue'er only realized the importance of strength at this moment, in this Warring States era of the jungle, without strength, there is no status, there is no status, there is no dignity, no dignity will look down on you without dignity, even if you want to do a good deed, it will become a luxury.
Yue'er came to the river alone, and at this time, Yue'er suddenly saw a little sister crying by the river.
The little sister was dressed in a green dress, and looked like she was seven or eight years old, and her foot seemed to be injured, and she was sitting by the stream crying.
Seeing this, Yue'er hurriedly ran over, it didn't matter what she looked at, she was startled when she saw it, the hook in the fishing net had pierced the little sister's leg and penetrated into the flesh, and the blood stained the hook red.
"Woooooooooo......oo Woo woo woo ...... "The little sister was crying and wiping her tears, so sad.
"Little sister, don't cry, I'm here to save you. Yue'er hurriedly ran over and carefully pulled the hooks out of her little sister's body.
Every time she pulls out a fishhook, the little sister will bite her red lips in pain, and her pitiful appearance makes people feel distressed.
