Shu Ruyue explained, “Of course they didn’t dare to come to you and say this! However, Wu Qinghe heard it! However, Wu Qinghe is also a smart person. He knew that they deliberately came to him to say it, but he played dumb. It’s not that he didn’t respond, but he didn’t tell you what those people said!” Speaking of these things, Shu Ruyue couldn’t help but complain again.
“Xiaoran, you don’t know how gossipy Wu Qinghe is! He reads fortunes to earn money, but he brings back gossip all day long. The key is that after he hears them, he plays it cool in front of others, but tells me after he comes back. Whenever he gossips, he looks so overjoyed! Why didn’t I realize that he had such a side to him in the past?”
When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she immediately laughed.
“Men are also gossipy! Actually, it’s normal for Wu Qinghe to be like this! Wu Qinghe has always lived on the mountain and rarely interacted with people. He spent all his time learning about the five elements and fortune-telling! Now that he’s finally in the real world, he’s naturally curious!”
“That makes sense! However, can Wu Qinghe get married? Can Daoists get married?” Shu Ruyue asked.
“A Daoist can get married, but a monk can’t! Don’t worry! Wu Qinghe will definitely marry you!” Li Xiaoran teased with a smile.
When Shu Ruyue heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she immediately blushed.
“Hmph, who needs him?! I want him to earn money, but he hasn’t earned any money yet!”
“Don’t worry, Wu Qinghe’s profession doesn’t get business that easily, but once it does, the income is enough to last you guys at least a year. Just you wait!” Li Xiaoran smiled when she saw Shu Ruyue’s expression.
As they spoke, they reached the pipe.
At this moment, Wu Qinghe was still setting up his stall.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to leave, but a group of people surrounded him with umbrellas and kept asking him to read their fortunes.
He had no choice. Thus, the fortune-telling stall opened in the rain.
Wu Qinghe stared at the people in front of him and said, “You guys have to tell me what you want me to divine.”
“We want to ask about our future career prospects!” the old man in the lead said.
When Wu Qinghe heard this, he took out a few copper coins and handed them to the old man before asking him to throw them on the table.
“For the first divination, please roll it six times!”
The old man seemed to know the steps of divination. He took the coin and placed it in his palm.
After putting his palms together, the old man began to shake the copper coin and throw it on the table.
After six consecutive throws, Wu Qinghe already knew what to do.
After taking a wooden stick, Wu Qinghe wrote on the ground. After a while, he lowered his head and said, “Your plan went smoothly in the past, but you’ve suffered a heavy blow in the past few months and encountered some mishaps!
Your future is bleak, but there’s still a chance to change it!”
At this point, Wu Qinghe immediately understood something.
“You’ll meet a benefactor! You still have a chance. If you can grasp it, you’ll be able to make a comeback soon!” Wu Qinghe suddenly became agitated and said, “The key is whether you can seize this opportunity or not!”
The old man frowned when he heard that, as if he was thinking about something.
“That’s the general situation!” After Wu Qinghe took a look, he used his foot to erase all the drawings on the ground. “Now, please ask the second question! Please continue to throw money!”
The old man came back to his senses and nodded. Then, he shook the coin in his hand again and threw it six times.
Soon, a new divination appeared.
Wu Qinghe frowned and said, “What you’re asking about can succeed or fail.
The key is you! It’s the same as the previous divination! Things will be fine if you meet a benefactor! However, you can’t hesitate. If you hesitate, you’ll miss this opportunity and you won’t be able to make a comeback from then on!” “Does that benefactor have any characteristics?” the old man asked again.
As Wu Qinghe looked at the divination, he recalled the divination just now.
“The Vermillion Bird is here, and she’s an old acquaintance! You should know this person!”
The old man sighed when he heard this.
In the vast sea of people, it was extremely difficult to find their so-called benefactor! It seemed that the heavens weren’t helping them!
After asking someone to pay for the divination, the old man looked around for something.
“There’s something else I want to ask. Why didn’t I see the knife-cut noodles stall by the official road?”
When Wu Qinghe heard this, he immediately laughed.
“The sliced noodles stall is gone. It’s now a sliced noodles shop! Go forward a little more and you’ll see the shop’s sign!”
The old man nodded and turned to leave.
“Wu Qinghe, so you’re here! You made us look for you everywhere. Tell me, why are you still setting up a stall on a rainy day?” Shu Ruyue rushed over with an umbrella and asked.
Li Xiaoran, who was following behind Shu Ruyue, immediately saw a group of people standing in front of Wu Qinghe’s stall.
“Little girl, it’s you! I really didn’t expect you to have changed so much since we last met!” The old man looked at Li Xiaoran and hesitated for a moment before finally recognizing her.
As Li Xiaoran looked at the old man in front of her carefully, a memory surfaced to mind.
“Sir, why are you guys here? I remember that the last time we set up a stall to sell sliced noodles, you brought a few people to take care of my business. In the blink of an eye, more than a year has pa.s.sed!”
Seeing that Li Xiaoran had recognized them, the old man smiled.
It turned out that this group of people was none other than Xu Niansheng and the others, who had eaten sliced noodles at Li Xiaoran’s place at the beginning.
“You have a good memory. You actually remember the five of us!
Coincidentally, we’re hungry now. I wonder where your sliced noodles shop is?” Xu Niansheng asked with a smile.
“It’s the shop by the pipe not far ahead. Why don’t you follow me?!” Li Xiaoran smiled and gestured for them to follow her.
On the other side, Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue quickly packed up their stall and followed them.
“Madam, do you know all these people?” Wu Qinghe asked curiously.
“That’s right! When your brother and I first set up the stall to sell sliced noodles, Mr. Li and the others came to eat sliced noodles, so of course we know each other!” Li Xiaoran nodded and explained with a smile..
