The man took a few steps forward, bowed and saluted: "The villain will bring you the exact words."
After saying that, he disappeared into the white snow.
Bai Yue pretended to be calm and entered the house, closed the door, then his face fell and he patted his heart hard.
Oh my god, I was scared to death. I thought my second life was over.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Peggy was making the bed and folding the quilt. Seeing Bai Yue's expression as if he had just seen a ghost, she couldn't help but feel worried.
"It's okay. I'm ready to take you out to play." Bai Yue became nervous again. Jian Yu only dared to scare her to explain what he meant. It means that all enemies are paper tigers.
The so-called Daji means that people from all over the country will gather together on this day to buy and sell goods from north to south. It is lively and prosperous.
Bai Yue followed Jian Yu out of the door. Not far away, a small carriage was heard and the sound of people was heard.
"Hey, I didn't see Liang Meng today, and Lin Yi is not here either." Bai Yue jumped out of the car and took a look: "Are you all busy?"
"Yes." Jian Yu didn't hide it from her.
"Then don't you have to be busy?" Bai Yue was very considerate: "If you have serious things to do, don't worry about me. If there is anything I can do to help, you're welcome."
It's unjustifiable to eat other people's food, wear other people's clothes and live in other people's houses without contributing any effort.
"No need." Jian Yu didn't care at all and stepped forward: "Liang Meng and the others will do it. I spend money to support so many people, am I just doing it for a living?"
When Jian Yu said this, he sounded like a playboy, but Bai Yue felt from the bottom of his heart that he was not. For a moment, he felt very strange, as if something was swimming by him, but he didn't catch it.
This is not a city street, but a long street in the countryside. The snow in the middle has been cleared away. On both sides are people from all over the country, speaking similar dialects.
The more sophisticated ones lay out a piece of cloth, while the less sophisticated ones put a row of frames or baskets in front of them, displaying fruits from trees growing in the fields of various colors, handkerchiefs and sachets embroidered by older girls and younger daughters-in-law, and stuff made by craftsmen, all in a dazzling array.
,Crowded.
"I have to explain something to you." Jian Yu walked sideways into the crowd, and Bai Yue followed hurriedly.
"What?"
Jian Yu said: "You have been at home these days, so you know we have a lot of family members."
Bai Yue nodded and was almost touched by a mother-in-law holding a pole. Fortunately, Jian Yu reached out to protect him.
"On this trip, several of the little ones were crying and clamoring to come, but my mother didn't allow any of them to follow."
Bai Yue is funny. She understands what Mrs. Jian is thinking. How pitiful is the heart of matchmakers in the world.
"So you can't buy anything to comfort their hurt hearts?" Jian Yu picked up a mask with various animals painted on it from a stall nearby, made gestures on Bai Yue's face, nodded with satisfaction, and picked up four or five
A wad was put into her hand, and the boy beside her followed her to pay.
Peggy hurriedly took the things from Bai Yue's hand. How could she let the young lady do hard work?
Just looking and buying all the way, from the old man to Mr. Jian and Mrs. Jian, from the young master and the young lady to his aunt. Fortunately, Jian Yu brought a few servants, otherwise neither of them would be able to carry the things they bought.
After shopping most of the street, Jian Yu had almost bought everything, but Jian Yu was obviously still not satisfied, standing on the street with an expression of unsatisfied things.
The maid and the boy had all delivered their things to the car, and they were the only ones left for a while.
Bai Yue tugged on Jian Yu's sleeve, pulled him closer, and then whispered in his ear.
"did not find?"
Jian Yu was distracted for a moment and didn't react, so he hummed casually. After humming, he immediately noticed something was wrong and quickly added: "What are you looking for?"
"How do I know?" Bai Yue looked confused.
Jian Yu asked: "Then why do you ask so?"
There is clearly something in the words.
Bai Yue shrugged: "Every time you go to a stall, you always pick up the third item from the first row on the left. Light colors take even numbers, and dark colors take odd numbers. Every time you ask about the price, you concentrate for a moment.
, until the shopkeeper reported the price, he relaxed and handed it to the boy at will."
With Jian Yu's family background, he wouldn't be worried that these gadgets are too expensive and he can't afford them.
Jian Yu was stunned, and for a moment he had the urge to kill someone and silence him.
"So what are you looking for? Do you want my help?" Bai Yue had no idea at all and pretended to be innocent.
"No need." Jian Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, it's nothing, just an old friend with a weird personality."
He and the other party have used this secret code for many years. Even his parents and family don't know about it. They only know that he likes to visit the market in Shili Village every winter after the first heavy snow. Who would have expected that Bai Yue would reveal it now?
, indeed a little depressed.
Bai Yue didn't ask any further questions. Just as she was about to ask what to do and continue looking, someone suddenly stopped in front of her.
She swallowed everything she wanted to say and turned to look.
This is a very thin middle-aged man, wearing a gray cloth gown, holding a flag in his left hand, with three big characters written on the front, Sai Banxian, and four big characters written on the back, Tiekou Shen Gua. On his right shoulder is a flag.
The bag was bulging with stuff, but I didn’t know what it contained.
Bai Yue understood that this was a fortune teller.
The fortune teller stood still in front of Bai Yue and refused to leave, looking at her with an enigmatic expression.
Bai Yue could only say: "Sir, what do you want from me?"
"Girl, do you want your fortune told?" Sai Banxian asked.
People were coming and going on the street, Bai Yue asked curiously: "Why should I tell fortunes?"
Sai Banxian touched a few beards on his chin: "We are destined to meet each other. I calculate three hexagrams a day, one hexagram every thousand steps, and today there is exactly one hexagram left, so I stopped in front of the girl, willing to give her some advice.
"
It's not that Bai Yue has never done fortune-telling before, but he has always believed that good fortune-telling must be efficacious, and bad fortune-telling is just feudal superstition. He has never had such a fate with the master.
Bai Yue couldn't help but look back at Jian Yu and asked for instructions: "How about a fortune telling?"
Jian Yu was still depressed because he couldn't find anyone, so he didn't care about it.
When Sai Banxian saw Bai Yue agreed, he quickly removed the cloth bag he was carrying, took out a box from it, and offered it with both hands: "Girl, let's draw lots first. When drawing lots, you must have no distracting thoughts."
It is different from the lottery boxes in the temple. This box is made of wood, but the box is thick and seems to be of good quality and valuable.
When the box was opened, it was filled with labels, all folded into triangle shapes, probably as many as a hundred.
Bai Yue looked at it and took a piece from it.
Sai Banxian nodded, first closed the box, put it back into the bag, and then took the signature.
When the signature was opened, Sai Banxian's expression suddenly changed.
"You will die in three days, whether you will die or not." Sai Banxian's voice trembled slightly: "Girl, this is a lottery, this... this is a death lottery."
