Chapter 28: A Chance Encounter with a Fortune Teller (4)
After resting for a while, Xu Aqi felt much better.
After walking for a long time, she felt that her feet were painful, so she took off one shoe while no one was paying attention, put her foot on the knee of the other leg, and gently massaged herself.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Xu Aqi frowned and kept looking over here, estimating that after a while, Lin Chen should finish asking. She didn't know what the fortune teller would say to Lin Chen, and he had been talking about it for such a long time! But she knew that it was all about her, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous when she remembered the scene just now.
The burning sensation in the right palm is still faintly there!
She lowered her head, rubbed it gently, and suddenly noticed that a small blue-black strip appeared on the palm of her right hand, like blood and burns.
The mark lay in the middle of the lifeline of her right hand, breaking the thread that symbolized the length of her life. What's even more weird is that her lifeline seems to have become much shorter, she remembers that this lifeline of her palm originally extended down to the wrist, and now, it disappeared two-thirds of the way through the palm! And there are some tassel lines at the end.
Xu Aqi was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized something, and her face turned pale in shock.
Like other girls, Xu Aqi was also keen on constellations, palm prints and other things with fascination, which may have originated from the hazy yearning for love and the vision for the future when she was a student.
In this regard, Xu Aqi doesn't know much, but she still knows a thing or two about some of the most basic statements.
She knows what it means for lifelines to get shorter, and she knows what it means for fringe lines to pop up!
That's all short-lived, sudden, sudden, death-threatening, and the risk of death with severe debilitating health!
Her palm prints weren't like that!
Of course she knows what her own hand, which she looks at every day and turns over countless times, what it looks like!
The change in the palm of your hand is creepy!
It's unbelievably weird!
Reaching out and stroking the tips of the ponytail, Xu Aqi tried to calm down, but her heart still couldn't help but beat, even her eyelids seemed to be trembling, the burning sensation in her palm and the pinprick sensation on her body hit again, and her head was reflexively dizzy again and again.
Xu Aqi closed her eyes and pinched her temples.
When she opened her eyes, Xu Aqi saw a person, a woman with long black hair, squatting under a tall, thick tree on the corner of the street. She was dressed in black and had her back to her, and seemed to be squatting there all the time, quietly, not moving.
What is she doing there?
For such a long time, don't move!
There was another wave of dizziness, Xu Aqi's body shook with it, and she leaned on the stone chair and closed her eyes slightly, trying to keep herself awake.
When she opened her eyes again, Xu Aqi was surprised to find that in front of the woman, a small pile of fire appeared, and the flames jumped, red, yellow, blue, white... Changing colors, the woman moved, stretched out a hand, and was slowly sending a stack of papers into the fire...
Xu Aqi shuddered, this strange scene in front of him was not exactly what he had seen in the mountains behind Yunfu Temple!
She wants to escape!
As soon as he got up, the dazzling feeling of the world whirling suddenly came up, Xu Aqi struggled for a while, feeling that his body was like cotton, like the catkins floating around with the wind in spring, being swept up by the wind, rolled to a high place, and the surrounding area was white, as if to the depths of the sea of clouds, thinking was like a pool of stagnant water in the dark night, stagnant, without the slightest wave.
Everything around is spinning!
Everything seems to have nothing to do with her!
She floated down like a fallen leaf from a high treetop...
Approaching the moment of falling, she still opened her eyes and looked at the sun in the sky, the originally dazzling scorching sun, now, in her eyes, it has become very small, very small!
Smaller and smaller!
It's like an orange egg yolk!
A pale yellow glass ball in the child's hand!
A white hygiene ball in the closet!
It's getting smaller!
A small drop of water!
It's gone!
Vaguely, she heard her grandmother talking to her, or the same sentence she often said:
It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided!
She nodded weakly, leaned her head against the back of the stone chair, and slowly closed her eyes.
Man has a life!
What is destined to be is what it is, and you should face it calmly! But in the face of these changes, how many can be open-minded! What awaits you in front of you?
The afternoon sun stretched Lin Chen's shadow very long.
A few more onlookers came, standing not far away, pointing and talking about something.
Anyway, this is a blind man, and he hit a disabled person, Lin Chen felt that he was at a loss, picked up the fan left by the fortune teller from the ground, patted the soil on it, and tapped the fortune teller's arm.
"I was reckless just now, I'm sorry, you can say it, what do you say, if you say it wrong, I don't blame you, and I won't beat you. But you have to tell the truth, don't talk nonsense, do you hear that? ”
The fortune teller touched the fan, held it in his hand, ignored it, stood up, put the broken package behind him, and probed the road in front of him with a bamboo pole, and was about to leave, Lin Chen stretched out an arm and crossed it in front of him.
A fortune teller, it's quite a joke! Let him understand, is it so difficult!
Lin Chen's anger is up again!
"If you don't make it clear, don't leave!"
"Clearly? It's meant to be! Can't tell! ”
Lin Chen stopped the fortune teller and said, "Hmm! It's my fault to make a move, okay? Don't be angry! As for you, it's not easy for you to eat with this, right, but you can't talk nonsense! I have no grievances with you, you just open your mouth to say this, isn't this a joke? Think about it, put aside who is not angry! You say yes, since you have said everything, you just make it clear, don't hide it, tucked it, sell it to me! Can you tell me what is the solution to the disaster? If you say that, I'll let you go! If you don't say it, none of us can leave! ”
Seeing that he couldn't walk, the fortune teller took two steps behind him, leaned his body against the low earthen wall behind him, and sat down after not being able to support it for long.
The face, as if the frightened had not yet eased up, was blue and white.
When Xu Aqi woke up, the woman who burned the paper was gone, and there was no trace of paper ash on the street corner, everything returned to normal, and her hand prints were still the same. It gave her a long sigh of relief.
It seems that it was just a dream!
Xu Aqi called a few times, but Lin Chen didn't respond, she simply walked over. Seeing that it was Xu Aqi coming, Lin Chen greeted him.
"Why don't you sit in a chair and rest honestly, what are you doing here!"
"Forget it! Let's go! Under this big sun, how much sunshine! Let's go! Let's find a serious restaurant to get some food, I'm hungry! Hey, Lin Chen, you can't come here for a long time, is it that the Taoist priest said that there is something wrong with me! If so, no problem, let's go! ”
Lin Chen didn't understand, he never gave up, he patted Xu Aqi's back and whispered: "Don't take it seriously, how many of these people who run the rivers and lakes are real kung fu!" It's all pretending to cheat people out of money, acting like the real thing, who are you bluffing! I'm going to see how he performs in the future. ”
"I know it's a lie, and you're still fighting with him!"
Xu Aqi shook his head slightly, took out the water bottle from Lin Chen's backpack, tilted his head, and drank a few sips, The cool mineral water flowed into his stomach.
She handed the bottle back to Lin Chen.
"I've heard people say that many fortune tellers are liars. But if you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if... It really fulfilled those unbounded words! Or, you still go and ask in case it's true? You go and ask, we don't have high requirements, as long as we can keep safe! After asking, let's go and find a restaurant to eat! What time is it? ”
Xu Aqi stabbed Lin Chen as she spoke.
"Hmmm! I know! It's crowded here, you go back to the chair over there and sit on it first, and I'll ask him a few more words and go over! ”
"Hurry up! Why aren't you hungry with this bun! ”
"Hurry back to the chair, the bag is still there! Don't be taken away! Lin Chen saw that Xu Aqi's bag was still forgotten by her on the stone chair over there, so he reminded.
"Know! Hurry up! ”
After speaking, Xu Aqi returned to the stone chair.
Lin Chen saw that the fortune teller ignored him for a long time, and sat on the ground with his butt, took out a hundred-yuan bill from his pocket, and slapped it heavily on the ground.
"Well, okay? Go ahead! ”
Man is always a very curious animal, where there is sound, where there is bustle, the flow of people gathers there, noise and bustle is probably the most natural baton, Hearing the hustle and bustle here, The people who have just dispersed around to see the bustle have come back some.
The fortune teller still closed his lips tightly and ignored it.
Lin Chen took out two hundred-yuan bills from his pocket, and suddenly remembered that he couldn't see them, so he picked up the renminbi that had just been slapped on the ground, plus the two in his hand, and waved them in front of everyone, "Everyone testifies, this is three hundred yuan, have you seen it?" ”
The crowd erupted, and some whistled out.
Lin Chen stuffed three hundred yuan into the fortune teller's hand, "Lao Tzu does things, he is always frank and does not deceive people!" That's three hundred dollars! It shouldn't be less! If you take these, you will buy one sentence for three hundred yuan! Lao Tzu is out of the way, tell me, is there any way, you just said everything, what do you tell us to do? We can't wait to die! ”
"Yes! Just say it! ”
Someone next to him was also impatient to wait, and followed the helper.
"Say it! Go ahead! People have given so much money, and they can't talk about it without saying it! Someone else said.
The fortune teller groped for the money in his hand, and when he saw that he couldn't leave, he finally sighed and said, "Okay, I'll say!" I said yes! ”
"Say it quickly! Less fucking nonsense! ”
There was a person next to him who couldn't bear it, and he roared.
"We are in the fortune telling business, who doesn't know how to watch people talk, find good words, and when the people who say it are happy, we can also take more money, everyone is happy, you say, right?"
"Hmm!" Lin Chen said.
