CHAPTER XV

I picked up the stick and wrote the word "Meng" on the ground.

"Meng is a dream! Three lives of big dreams, finally come to an end! See! You're still in a dream, you haven't woken up yet! Is the moon in your dream warmer than the sun next to you? Hahaha! The old man laughed, laughing so indulgently, not cheerfully, but a creepy feeling. Suddenly, his laughter stopped abruptly and began to continue his thoughts intently, as if he was reciting some Buddhist sutra or something, and he couldn't hear it at all.

Three lives of big dreams, finally come to an end. Why is it Sansheng......

"Can you tell me what that means? Why are there three lives, and what does it mean to end up in silence? I asked.

He gave me a very strange look, and then went back to talking.

"Did you test two girls 30 years ago?" I didn't leave and continued to ask.

"Who remembers all this time?"

"One of them died, ten years ago," I continued, "whether the rest of the life after the catastrophe refers to this person's child, or does she not actually die? ”

The old man ignored me and continued to babble. I stood there and started to get irritable: "I'm asking you!" That girl is my mom, you know! ”

The old man still ignored me, and didn't seem to hear me at all.

"Tell me, she's not actually dead." My voice was a little choked.

The old man paid no attention to me.

"Yishi, don't do this...... It can't be him, it's 30 years later, and the gentleman who used to tell fortunes here may have gone somewhere else a long time ago, or is already dead. It won't be his. Chen Zhi gently held my hand.

"You also said that my aunt is 'rich and noble, and her six relatives are thin', do you mean that I will also lose her, my only relative......"

"I'd like to test it too." Chen Zhi interrupted me directly, squatted down, and went to get the wooden stick to write. Unexpectedly, the old man kicked the stick aside.

"What are you doing!" He An was anxious and shouted at the old man.

The old man glanced up at He An, his eyes blurred, and he thought: "How can you live in peace, you owe peace in your life!" ”

"Why are you cursing me! Why can't I live in peace! I could see that He An was a little weak-hearted, and there was more shock than anger in his eyes. He An, He An, how to live in peace. Could it be that He An's future is destined to be upside down? Let's hope the old man is just talking nonsense.

"Forget it," Chen Zhi stepped forward and grabbed He An, "What are you angry with a crazy old man!" It's just nonsense, how can others know about your own future? Why bother. ”

"Why do you want to do so much! If you believe it, you will have it, if you don't believe it, you will not believe it, what are you afraid of! I patted He An on the shoulder.

I regret stopping here and listening to this nervous old man.

"Why don't you let me take the test?" Chen Zhi grabbed He An, but he walked in front of the old man again.

The old man glanced at Chen Zhi meaningfully: "You know the reason yourself." ”

Chen Zhi's face suddenly turned pale, his body trembled a little, and he said, "Maybe I don't know, I don't know everything about myself." ”

The old man hesitated, threw the small wooden stick to Chen Zhi, and said, "Then let's test one." ”

Chen Zhi trembled and picked up the wooden stick, staring at the ground but not moving for a long time.

"You're right, I really don't need to test." Chen Zhi put down the small wooden stick and said.

"What's going on?" He An looked at the old man and then at Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi smiled and shook his head: "I don't want to test again, don't you always say that testing horoscopes, fortune telling or something is a lie to children." ”

"How much does it cost?" I asked the old man, just thinking about getting out of here quickly.

"Someone paid for you."

"Who?"

The old man didn't speak, but began to pack his things, as if he was going home, and sang while singing: "Friends go together for a lifetime, how many days will not come......"

"I ask you, who paid for it?" I shouted at him, but he just walked away without looking back, seemingly not hearing what I was saying at all.

I was vaguely uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

It was late in the evening when I got home. An Yin has been accompanying me in the living room until my aunt returns. While waiting for my aunt, I told An Yin about the old man.

"But 30 years later, how can the old man who measured your mother's words still be alive......" An Yin muttered.

"But when I saw him, I had a strong feeling that he was the same old man he was. His predictions were so accurate that he might not have been human at all. Or was it just a coincidence? ”

"It's a coincidence. Maybe I can go with you tomorrow night to see. ”

"Maybe he's a more advanced spirit tamer or a lonely spirit, just like Qi Yan, so I can't feel his breath."

"I can't rule it out, but why did he make these prophecies for your mother and aunt and for you? And why didn't you give Chen Zhi a prophecy? ”

"He said that Chen Zhi doesn't have to test words." I think back to that time.

"Speaking of Chen Zhi, there is something I want to tell you......"

The door opened, and it was my aunt who had returned.

"Have you waited a long time? I suddenly had a lot of things to do today, so I came back late. Auntie took off her coat casually and sat down on the sofa and said.

"No, I just came back a short time ago, and I went out with friends in the afternoon."

"And with whom? Where did it go? My aunt removed the silk scarf from her neck.

"It's Chen Zhi and He An, just walking on the street, and passing by the street park, it is a coincidence that we actually met a fortune teller."

"Chen Zhi ......," the aunt repeated, and asked with interest, "What?" What a coincidence. What did the fortune teller tell you? ”

"It's nothing, it's just some nonsense." Thinking about what happened this afternoon, my mood suddenly fell a little.

"By the way, I almost forgot one thing," the aunt seemed to suddenly remember something, and with a clapped of her hands, she hurriedly stood up, and just as she got up to leave, her eyes lingered on the place where she was hidden, as if she saw him, and then took out a box from the bedroom, walked up to me, and said, "A birthday present, your mother entrusted me to give it to you on your seventeenth birthday, I should have given it to you a long time ago, but I have been busy and have not had time to delay it for so long." ”

Just as I was about to pick up the box, An Yin walked up to me alertly and said, "Be careful. ”

I hesitated for a moment, took the box in her hand, and opened it was a fluorescent, blood-red spirit stone, and when my fingertips touched the smooth stone surface, some strange images suddenly appeared in front of my eyes: the firelight in the sky, the crying baby, the silver blood...... My head ached violently, as if I had been put under a tight spell, and it was getting tighter and tighter. I felt like the air around me was getting thinner, and I was about to suffocate.

An Yin quickly knocked down the spirit stone in my hand, and the tight spell spread out from the top of my head in an instant, I gradually gasped, An Yin turned to his aunt and asked, "Actually, you can see me all the time, right?" Who are you? What exactly do you want to do? ”

An Yin's tone was very calm, and his speed of speech was even a few points slower than usual, but his sentences were like knives, and he was close to his aunt.

"That's right! I am a spirit tamer. The aunt straightened up, tilted her head, and replied briefly. At that moment, I clearly felt a tremendous force erupting from her, and a sense of oppression made my heart swell with a fear that I had never felt before. I think she is different from the usual aunt, although the aunt looks cold but the heart is warm, and the aunt in front of her exudes a chill that penetrates deep into the bone marrow from head to toe, so strange.
