Volume 1 Peaceful Sea Chaos Chapter 39 Fortune teller
"What do you say?" Xi Yao held his sword and looked at the big black face for a while, then turned his head to look at Ling Jiang behind him and asked. Her expression was still very serious, as if something big had happened.
"I listened to Mr. Su. Ling Jiang replied without hesitation, having said that, he still stared at Jia Kun viciously with his eyes, as if he had not avenged it.
"Let's go. Xi Yao didn't hesitate, walked to Ling Jiang's side with his sword, and pulled him to quickly withdraw from Jiafu.
Fortunately, Jia Kun is also an acquaintance, and he did not secretly use some means against them.
The two of them left Jiafu and walked in the alley one after the other.
The night was dark, and every house lit oil lamps, illuminating this dark alley. The rainbow light on the horizon is still there, and it is no longer as dazzling as it was two days ago.
"Who are you talking about Mr. Su?" Xi Yao walked behind Ling Jiang and couldn't help but ask out loud.
Ling Jiang was thinking about Ya'er, and he didn't react for a while.
"Hey!" Xi Yao exclaimed in a low voice, although it seemed a little rude, Ling Jiang didn't seem to show the slightest disgust, and she was used to calling it that.
"Mr. Su......" Ling Jiang came back to his senses, "he is a teacher in the school." ”
"Mr. Teaching?" Xi Yao repeated in a low voice.
Ling Jiang didn't notice Xi Yao's suspicious expression at the moment, and secretly thought in his heart, "If Ya'er is not in Jiafu, where will she go?"
He looked at the endless night, a little worried.
His ears seemed to echo with Ya'er's voice calling him, he and Ya'er obviously only had a few days of memory, but at this moment, it still made his heart like a knife. Ling Jiang understands that Ya'er is his only relative in the town.
Regardless of those previous memories, if there was no Ya'er, he would be the only one left in this town in the future, living alone for a lifetime.
Perhaps, what disturbed his heart at this time was just that humble unwillingness.
He and Xi Yao walked out of the alley and walked through one of the most crowded streets in the town. These strangers who have no place to live, when they arrive at the time of childhood, will find a safe place, take the sky as a quilt, use the earth as a bed, and sleep alone.
Thinking of this, Ling Jiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion in his heart.
If there is no popular home, is it still a home?
Only then did he realize that he was living alone in the world, without parents and siblings.
And Ya'er is just a fallen person like him.
"Are you crying?" Xi Yao's voice suddenly echoed in Ling Jiang's ears, with a hint of concern in his tone.
Ling Jiang blinked, only then did he realize that his vision was already blurry, he exhaled a breath of turbidity, shook his head and said, "How can I have." ”
"Liar!"
"I didn't cry. Ling Jiang pursed his lips and said with a sour expression on the tip of his nose.
Xi Yao glanced at him and stopped talking.
"Big brother!"
Ling Jiang heard a familiar voice behind him, as if calling him, and subconsciously looked back.
"Big brother, what a coincidence, we're meeting again!" said a girl in a pink dress behind him, who was about sixteen years old but made the childlike voice of a ten-year-old girl.
"It's you. Ling Jiang recognized her, she was the pink-clothed girl sitting alone on the railing in Guanghan Building today.
"Big sister, you're so beautiful. The girl then shifted her gaze to Xi Yao and greeted obediently.
"Thank you. Xi Yao responded with a slightly embarrassed smile, feeling a little confused by the girl who suddenly appeared.
"Why are you here?" Ling Jiang asked softly, reining from his previous grief.
"I was bored in the house, so I asked Uncle Xu to accompany me out for a walk. The girl said, pointing to a middle-aged man in a yellow robe not far from the right.
I saw the chief holding a fortune-telling signboard and walking towards this side with a decent pace.
"It's you!" Ling Jiang exclaimed, he didn't expect that the Uncle Xu that the girl was talking about turned out to be the fortune teller who found him inexplicably!
"Hehe, this little friend, is the recipe that Poor Dao gave you okay?" asked the Taoist with a smile.
Ling Jiang nodded, and subconsciously glanced at Xi Yao.
I saw Xi Yao staring at the Dao Chief with a strange look, but the Dao Chief's gaze diverged in all directions, as if he was avoiding the girl.
Ling Jiang looked at the middle-aged Dao Chief, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Dao Chief, can you help me calculate a hexagram?"
"Hexagram?" said the middle-aged Taoist in surprise, "What kind of hexagram do you want to count?"
"Neither. Ling Jiang shook his head and said with a pleading look, "I want the Dao Master to help me find someone." ”
"Looking for someone?" the Taoist chief smiled bitterly, "Xiaoyou, you are embarrassed to be poor, how easy is it to find a needle in the vast sea of people?"
When Ling Jiang heard this, he immediately showed a melancholy look.
"Uncle Xu, you are a liar. At this time, the pink-clothed girl holding a branch on the side pouted and said, "You obviously know where the person the big brother is looking for is, why don't you tell him?"
"What are you talking about?" Ling Jiang almost couldn't believe his ears, his whole body was like a needle prick, and he asked the middle-aged Taoist priest, "Dao Chief, is what he said true?"
The middle-aged Taoist elder sighed and smiled bitterly at the girl in pink, "Jiang Miao, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk nonsense, I don't tell you much about this truth." ”
"But I don't want my big brother to be deceived. The girl in pink blinked and whispered.
"That's it, that's it. The middle-aged Daoist shook his head, looked at Ling Jiang and said, "The person you are looking for is called Ya'er, right?" ”
Ling Jiang nodded again and again, with a little more energy in his eyes.
"Everything has a cause and effect, although I know where your maid is, I can't say it easily, otherwise there will be a cause and effect, and your retribution will ...... However, since this cause and effect is already known to you, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you, but you have to pay some price. ”
"No problem!" Ling Jiang replied without hesitation.
"Don't you want to know what the price will have to pay?" asked the middle-aged Daoist.
"No matter what the cost, I'm going to find Ya'er. Ling Jiang said firmly.
"Good. The middle-aged Taoist nodded and said with a smile, "On the beach south of Pinghai Town, there is a big ship, which will quietly leave tonight when the tide rises. ”
The middle-aged Taoist chief paused, "What should be said, I have already said it, the hour is not early, you can go." ”
"Dao Chief, what about the price you are talking about?" Ling Jiang asked.
"Rest assured, this price does not come overnight, and you will understand it later. Since you have a relationship with the poor road, you might as well tell you. Poor Dao's real name is Xu Zhen, and the Taoist number is mantra. After the middle-aged Taoist priest said this, he pulled the pink-clothed girl beside him and turned away.
"This old guy relies on the old and sells the old, you don't have to take what he says to heart. After the middle-aged Taoist chief left, Xi Yao, who had been silent for a while, spoke.
"Do you know him?" Ling Jiang was slightly stunned and asked subconsciously.
"Sort of. Xi Yao waved his hand and took the lead in walking towards the south of the town.
