Yu Peng’s words reminded Wu Qinghe, so early the next morning, Wu Qinghe went to set up a stall by the official road.
After Li Xiaoran learned of this news, she immediately laughed.
“Actually, this is a good way to acc.u.mulate more good karma! My previous idea was too rash! Taking things slow and steady is the best way!”
When Shu Ruyue heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she nodded.
“That’s right. I think it’s better to let him have something to do so that he won’t try to divine everything! That day, he and I went to the official road to buy something to eat. After eating, I wanted to go to the bathroom, but he insisted that he divine it for me first. Then, he said that it was inauspicious for me to go to the bathroom and that something would happen. He asked me to wait a little longer!” Shu Ruyue couldn’t help but complain, “Xiaoran, think about it. When I’m anxious to use the bathroom, how can I care about auspiciousness?! I just want to go to the bathroom quickly!”
“In the end, this guy insisted on dragging me to the public bathroom! As you know, so many people have been to there, so the smell was very bad! I had no choice. I really couldn’t hold it in anymore, so I could only go to that stinky bathroom to relieve myself. After I came out, I was so angry that I ignored him! Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the shop, we heard that a customer went to that bathroom after eating noodles and slipped into the toilet!”
At the thought of the person she had seen fall into the toilet, Shu Ruyue immediately felt uneasy.
Although Wu Qinghe had really helped her, she still felt uncomfortable!
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.
She really didn’t know that such an interesting thing had happened to Wu Qinghe and Shu Ruyue. No wonder Shu Ruyue hadn’t treated Wu Qinghe nicely these past few days.
Li Xiaoran said, “Don’t be angry. Wu Qinghe is a good person, but he has lived in the mountains for a long time and doesn’t know how to read social cues. You should be straightforward with people like him. Otherwise, he won’t understand. It’s just like how you’re angry here, but he doesn’t know what you’re angry about at all. Believe me, if you want to get along well, don’t play guessing games with him and be more direct!”
“Will that really be useful?” Shu Ruyue asked in disbelief.
“Of course it’ll be useful. Try it if you don’t believe me!” Li Xiaoran encouraged.
Shu Ruyue nodded. After some thought, she decided to try it on Wu Qinghe later.
The person who came was a woman. She had followed the caravan to look for her family.
The woman wanted to ask about the outcome of her search for her family.
Wu Qinghe asked the woman to choose something for him to see from among the vicinity.
After the woman thought for a moment, she pointed at two stones not far away.
One stone was big and one stone was small.
Green gra.s.s appeared around the stone.
The green gra.s.s extended out and all the way under a big tree.
Wu Qinghe laughed when he saw this.
“Congratulations! You’ll definitely be able to find your family. Moreover, the other party will protect you like a towering tree. If you want to find this person, look for him in a place with the word tree!”
When the woman heard this, her face lit up and she thanked him.
“Thank you. Thank you so much. I wonder how much the divination fee is?”
Wu Qinghe looked at the woman and said, “Give me half of the money in your purse!”
When the woman heard Wu Qinghe’s words, she hesitated for a moment before finally taking out 50 copper coins from her purse.
Wu Qinghe nodded and put away the 50 copper coins. Then, he continued to wait for the next customer.
When the woman returned to her son’s side, the young man asked her something.
After a while, the young man walked over angrily.
“You liar, return my mother’s money! That’s all our money. You actually took so much?!”
Wu Qinghe looked up at the young man in front of him and asked,
“Did your mother change her mind?”
“No, no. Master, my son is insensible! I didn’t change my mind!” The woman rushed over to pull her son away.
However, the young man refused and insisted on letting Wu Qinghe return the money.
When Wu Qinghe heard this, he immediately laughed.
“This is the payment for fortune-telling, so I won’t return it! Young man, let me give you a piece of advice. You also know that you don’t have much money left, so you shouldn’t be so nosy! Otherwise, misfortune might befall you!”
“You’re actually cursing me? I’ll smash your stall today and make you unable to do business anymore!” The young man said as he was about to kick the sign in front of Wu Qinghe.
Wu Qinghe naturally wouldn’t let the young man succeed. He picked up the sign and dodged the young man’s attack.
At this moment, a few people chased after them. When they saw the commotion, they immediately recognized the person they were looking for and shouted, “Look, there they are! Kid, you owe our boss a gambling debt, but you still want to escape?!”
When the young man heard this, he was terrified and ran away.
Unfortunately, before they could run far, someone people came from the other end and surrounded the young man. In the end, he was captured.
Seeing this, the woman immediately panicked.
Just as she was about to go forward and ask what was going on, Wu Qinghe stopped her.
“Don’t speak yet. Watch first!”
The woman didn’t understand, but after looking at Wu Qinghe, she chose to believe him.
A middle-aged man with a mustache stared at the young man and scolded, “This kid came to our casino to gamble and owes a hundred taels of silver, but he ran away! We’re here to capture him today! Kid, do you think you can escape? Even if you run to the ends of the earth, we’ll capture you!”
When the woman heard this, she was so shocked that she almost fainted.
Wu Qinghe quickly helped the woman up and reminded her.
“Don’t be frightened. This matter will be a daunting experience, but without mishap. However, you’ll lose a large sum of money!”
“But I don’t have that much money! I only have 50 copper coins left!” The woman said while trembling.
“You don’t, but your son does!” Wu Qinghe said..
