Chapter 109: See you again in this life
The more the old man thought about it, the more excited he became, but Old Man Mo frowned.
This phase master himself is mixed into this picture, and let the child worship him as a teacher, so he will also be a down-and-out fortune teller in the future?
However, the hand that burned the paper just now really made the eyes of the Mo family, who were ordinary people, shine, knowing that ordinary people must not have this kind of ability.
"Sir, everything else is later, keeping my son safe is the first thing, as for apprenticeship, it also depends on the child's future wishes!"
Hearing Master Mo's words, the old man suddenly felt happy in his heart, and he was content with this sentence!
Mrs. Mo was also worried.
"If it is really as dangerous as the old gentleman said, my son can be born safely, even if you are a teacher, it is also appropriate to worship you as a teacher"
Hearing Mrs. Mo's words, the old man was even more overjoyed.
"Master Mo, Mrs. Mo, please rest assured, the old man is in charge of this matter, and he will not let the old man's future apprentices have an accident, of course, the old man will not force this matter, it must depend on the child's own wishes!"
Children, curiosity is heavy, the old man thinks that when the time comes, he will show his hands, cast a spell that is visible to ordinary people, and then come to two hands of martial arts, so the child is not in a hurry to call "Master"?
"Sir, shouldn't we go and burn more incense, and also go to the City God Temple and the Land Temple to ask for blessings?"
"It's naturally good to go, but this is the fate of heavenly jealousy, and if the gods can't protect it, maybe they won't hear it."
With that, the old man had already assumed the role of the master, and immediately bent down and took out a bag from the box.
The old man took out a dozen pieces of talisman paper from his bag and lit it up, and then handed the whole bag to the woman who was seated.
"Mrs. Mo, this is a charm I have carefully refined, stick it on the doors and windows of the room, remember not to use sharp weapons on weekdays, and don't go out often, let me prepare to visit again!"
After handing over the bag to Mrs. Mo, the old man began to quickly pack his things, roll up the flag behind him, and fold the tablecloth.
"What are you, sir?"
Hearing Master Mo's words, the old man took the time to reply while folding the tablecloth into the box.
"I'm going to go back and prepare, take out all the things at the bottom of the box, Master Mo, take Mrs. Mo home quickly, don't wait for it to get dark!"
After saying this, the old man had quickly sorted out all the remaining things, lifted the rope bag on the wooden box and picked up the bench on the ground.
"I'll take my leave, and I'll be there when I'm ready! Mrs. Mo, please hurry home! β
After saying that, the old man hurried away.
"Alasβold gentleman, the cost of fortune-telling has not been paid yet-"
The old man glanced back at Master Mo, and hurried away without saying a word.
Before it was to collect money and release the signature, the Mo family is a big family, so it will definitely make a lot of money, but now it is their own business.
Don't say it's this money, and you won't be stingy with your precious belongings.
This scene made the Mo family stunned, and the physiognomist didn't even leave a name.
When she came, she was full of joy, but at this moment, Mrs. Mo was already worried.
"Xianggong, how good is this, he said it well!"
"Madame, don't worry, these fortune-telling and unsigning warlocks sometimes deliberately make their words more serious, so that they can collect a lot of money, it's okay!"
"But he hasn't asked for any money yet."
Master Mo didn't know how to answer this for a while, so he could only say with relief.
"Isn't he going to visit again? Maybe the money will be asked then, anyway, when the time comes, he will say a few good words, and then give some money and send it away! β
But after all, it was about his own children, and Master Mo still added.
"It's just that some things would rather be believed than not, our children will be safe, but let's go home first today! Cailian prepares a sedan chair! β
"Yes!"
The maid hurried away and went to call out to the palanquin man who was resting over there.
was told by the old man that the Mo family didn't want to stay outside longer, and they also wanted to go home quickly.

This will bring people to the streets of Mingzhou City.
A man in a green coat and a dark coat was walking down the street.
This street is not wide in the city, but there is an endless stream of merchants and people, shouting, asking prices, laughing, and shouting everywhere, so it is bustling and lively.
The man clutches an unopened folding fan in his hand, and from time to time he avoids the porter and his wife, while his eyes observe everything around him, and he seems to be interested in the lively market around him.
And sometimes it is often the moment when the man avoids it, so that the people who pass by notice his existence.
At this time, people tend to look back and look twice.
One step, two steps, three steps.
Beneath your feet are well-sized and neat bluestone slabs.
It's like playing a game, and the man's footsteps always go almost exactly the same distance, so that every time he lands on the slate, he is in the center of the slate.
The wheel prints and the fine moss on the edge of the stone slabs, and the heavy buildings around the old and new paint, the same antique fragrance, and so on.
For men, all of them reveal a sense of historical charm shining into reality.
This vibe, this vibe.
It seems to be centered on the man himself, with the green color as the base, so that he can merge with the fireworks in the city, rendering a once unimaginable artistic conception of ink.
This person is Yi Shuyuan, who has just arrived in Mingzhou City.
"It is worthy of being a thousand-year-old city, and it was a famous commercial capital before the two dynasties, and everything is full of that long-standing atmosphere, as if people can feel the charm of the years."
Yi Shuyuan muttered to himself, he didn't say this casually.
One is because of the architectural style here, and the other is because Yi Shuyuan's synaesthesia makes him feel as if he can feel some of the breath of the past.
And the gray Mian hidden under the hair on Yi Shuyuan's shoulder whispered.
"Sir, I don't think it's any different from other cities."
"The stone slabs under our feet are witnesses of history, they can speak."
"Huh? Sperm? β
Gray Mian was shocked, and hurriedly poked out a small furry head from Yi Shuyuan's hair to look at the ground.
"Sir, I'm just a metaphor."
Yi Shuyuan couldn't laugh or cry, and Gray Mian retracted his head.
This kind of charm is also one of the pleasures of Yi Shuyuan walking the world, which makes him intoxicated.
Yi Shuyuan walked leisurely, and a sedan chair was carried in front of him.
In addition to the sedan chair driver, there are both maids accompanying him, and a middle-aged man in Chinese clothes is also moving forward together on the side of the sedan chair.
The moment he appeared from the sedan chair, Yi Shuyuan's eyes never left.
And slightly different from other people on the street, when the sedan chair arrived not far away, the people on the side of the sedan chair noticed the existence of Yi Shuyuan.
When the sedan chair slowly passed by, the people on the side of the sedan chair were subconsciously attracted by Yi Shuyuan, and couldn't help but look at him sideways.
Seeing that the men and women on the side of the sedan chair were looking at him, Yi Shuyuan also turned around in the direction of the sedan chair, smiling and bowing slightly to them.
Seeing this, Master Mo also bowed his head.
This person's popularity is quite extraordinary, and his hair is tied down to one side but there is no sense of unkemptness.
The gray hair color is slightly conspicuous, and it blends with people very naturally, without being abrupt at all, and makes its age slightly blurred.
"Oops"
The shouts of the woman in the sedan chair suddenly attracted the attention of the maid and Master Mo.
"Ma'am, what's wrong?" "Madame, what's wrong with you?"
The voices of Master Mo and the maid Cailian suddenly became nervous, and they even immediately thought of the words of the phase master.
However, Mrs. Mo's words did not have any sense of panic, but a little smile.
Mrs. Mo lifted the small curtain on the side and said justice to herself.
"Fang Cai, I felt the child move!"
Only then did Master Mo breathe a sigh of relief, and his face also showed joy.
"Really? Can you feel your child move so quickly? I just scared my husband! β
"It's only been three months before I move, my son is really a dragon and a phoenix!"
Master Mo was so beautiful in his heart, but when he looked back, the person just now was far away.
Yi Shuyuan walked down the street, and his mood was better than just now.
"I've been pregnant for three months!"
"Sir, are you saying that the one sitting in the sedan chair just now is the doll's mother?"
Gray Mian obviously noticed the situation just now, so that Mr. could pay so much attention and take the initiative to nod his head, coupled with the conversation on the side of the sedan chair, it was basically the same.
"Exactly!"
Yi Shuyuan affirmed Gray Mian's words.
"But it doesn't seem that the birth of the doll will go very smoothly!"
"Sir is here, can it still be uncomfortable?"
In Gray Mian's heart, this sentence is not a sycophant.
"Yes!"
Yi Shuyuan nodded with a smile and walked in the direction of someone shouting in the distance, this bit of confidence still needs to be there.
ββ
The old man on the other side had already hurried back home.
It was a dilapidated mud thatched hut on the outskirts of the city, and although the old man had been back to live there for a while, it was evident that it had not been completely cleaned up, so the house was in a mess everywhere.
As soon as the old man returned, he went into the house and rummaged through the cabinets, and found a box covered with gray cloth.
Tearing open the red cloth and opening the box, inside was a seven-star sword, an incense burner, a porcelain vase, a dozen paper figures, and talisman paper pressed by cinnabar blocks, and a few other bits and pieces.
The old man took out his sword and drew it halfway out of his body.
"Zheng"
The sound of the sword is crisp, and the light of the sword body can shine on people.
The old man nodded slightly, put the sword back into the sheath with a "snap", then took the gray cloth covering the box, wrapped it around the sword, and then threw it behind his back, and then pierced the ends of the cloth to his chest, and then put the sword behind his back.
Then the old man took out all the contents of the box, put them into the box with the strap next to it, and finally hung the box diagonally on his side.
After doing this, the old man gently stroked his beard and thought about it, wondering if there was anything missing.
When he was sure that nothing had been left behind, the old man went out, closed the doors and windows, and after a few steps he stopped to look at the dilapidated house for a moment, then turned and walked away quickly.
