Just when I handed the marshmallow I took a bite to Si Tan, a hoarse voice came from the corner.
Looking along the way, I saw an old man with messy hair and a hunched back.
His eye sockets were sunken and empty.
The old man squatted under the tree, with an old square cloth in front of him.
It was so dirty that the color could no longer be distinguished.
On it, there are four big and crooked characters written "Zhu You fortune-telling".
“It’s free!”
Suddenly, the old man raised his head.
Even though I had no eyes, I was still prepared to find my direction.
"No!"
I quickly waved my hand, took out a hundred dollar bill and put it on the cloth.
He stood up to leave, but was stopped again.
"I set up a fortune-telling stall and don't charge money. It all depends on my mood! Even if someone loses everything, they still can't get a word from me."
The old man said, pushing the money in front of me.
This old man is really weird.
Turning around to look at Si Tang who was 'fighting' with the marshmallow, I simply nodded.
"Then try it!"
"What do you want, girl?"
"Marriage!" I said decisively.
"Can you extend your right hand?"
Without thinking much, I reached out my hand.
The old man squinted his eyes and carefully touched my palm prints.
But as he touched it, his brows suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"The girl's biological mother will die of old age, but her father will never be found! How is this...possible?"
"Based on the palm prints, it can be concluded that the girl has no father but a mother!"
No father, no mother?
What does this mean?
And will the biological mother die?
"Wait!" I said hurriedly, "You mean my biological mother...is still alive?"
"Yeah!" The old man nodded heavily.
"How long do you live?"
"Live until you die!"
I,"……"
"Girl, your palm prints are extremely weird, but according to the records in Zhu You's secret technique, my inference must be correct!"
The old man muttered this, and his frown finally relaxed.
"The first person to kiss a girl is her destiny!"
Destined?
Why do I get hairy when I hear this word?
It was because of this word that Si Teng hesitated to accept me before.
The first person to kiss me... wasn't that Si Tang?
Thinking of this, I turned to look at Si Tan.
I found him standing behind a woman holding a child, spitting messages to the chubby milk baby.
Milkman was so amused by him that he giggled, and all his tender flesh trembled.
And Si Yuan's pupils visibly tightened.
"Si Tan!"
Seeing Si Yuan swallowing uncontrollably, I hurriedly shouted.
This sound made Si Yu quickly take back the letter.
Then, he pretended to look around as if nothing had happened.
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and turned my head.
"Thanks……"
"Congratulations, girl!" Before I could express my thanks, the old man clasped his fists. "Young girl is bound to the one she is destined to be, and she will never be able to escape from it in this life!"
"Thank you!" I said this sincerely and suddenly stopped smiling. "What you just meant is...my biological mother is not dead yet?"
"Yes!" The old man nodded, "When I was young, I was the most powerful Zhu Youshi. My ability in telling fortunes and driving away snakes was second to none!"
What?
Drive away snakes!
He took out a hundred dollar bill again and put it in front of the old man, got up and left.
Before leaving, he was still chattering to himself.
"Lord Si Yuan..."
"Here!"
Si Chang opened the bag, revealing a pile of bright red apples.
But the strange thing is that every apple has a bite on it.
“After trying so many bites, this one is the sweetest!”
Suddenly, Si Yun handed an apple to me.
Sir Si Yuan, you are so considerate!
"What were you doing just now?"
"I……"
I turned around and stretched out my hand, but was shocked to find that the old man was gone.
In less than half a minute, the old man disappeared out of thin air?
"New Year's bean buns?"
"Lord Si Yuan, do you know what Zhuyou is?"
"Zhuyou?" Si Tan raised his eyebrows, "Zhuyou is a secret technique spread from ancient times, which is specialized in treating difficult and complicated diseases and expelling snakes and evil spirits."
Having said this, Si Yuan picked me up with one hand.
Then, he walked forward slowly.
"But because they harmed my snake clan, they have been slaughtered by me! Nian Doubao, why are you asking this suddenly?"
"I just met an old man who is blind. He said that he was the master of Zhu You and told my fortune!"
These words made Si Yun's pupils suddenly shrink.
"Lord Si Yuan, he said...my biological mother is not dead!"
Si Yuan didn't say anything, he hugged me and walked forward without saying a word.
…
Si Tan's nest is located in the middle of the mountain.
It was a castle that looked like a ruin on the outside, but had everything on the inside.
For hundreds of miles around, you can't hear the chirping of insects or birds.
However, a faint rustling sound can be heard.
I know it was caused by snakes swimming through dead leaves.
After I elaborated exactly what Zhu Youshi said to me, Si Yuan fell into an unprecedented silence.
I don't know what's wrong, but I don't regret saying it.
I don't want to keep any secrets between Si Chen and I, because all secrets may cause misunderstandings.
Is Si Yuan angry?
But this anger is a bit inexplicable!
no!
Men also need coaxing!
But after searching every corner of the castle, Si Tan was nowhere to be found.
Just when I was anxious, I looked out from the balcony on the top floor and saw Si Tan on the roof.
At this moment, Si Tang was dressed in red as before.
The moonlight shone on his body, giving him a divine halo.
The long snake tail dragged down the eaves and landed on the balcony.
"Lord Si Yuan!"
I held onto the railing and called softly.
As if he didn't hear anything, Si Yuan still raised his head and looked at the moon.
It doesn't move, like a statue.
"Si Yuan beats people!"
This time Si Yuan still turned a deaf ear, but the tip of his tail flicked lightly.
Damn it!
Are you deliberately staying away from me?
Angrily, he grabbed Si Tang's tail, opened his mouth and bit it down hard.
"hiss……"
Si Yuan finally turned his head, showing his fangs in pain.
"Get down here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled out the tail in his hand.
Immediately, Si Chan swam in front of me.
"Are you having a cold war with me?" I was annoyed.
"Cold War?" Si Yuan was confused.
"Just... just sulking with me and ignoring me!"
I was so angry that I stamped my feet and tears burst into my eyes.
"I'd rather you argue with me and fight me than keep me cold-blooded!"
"Nian Doubao, be good!" Si Teng suddenly panicked, "I'm not in a cold war with you, I'm just angry with myself, and I want to find a place to get angry and then come over to comfort you!"
"I don't believe it!" I cried loudly.
I'm sure, Si Teng loves me!
Because I can feel the love and confirm his love for me, I can be an unscrupulous child, crying and willfully.
"Oh dear! Don't cry, don't cry! I really love you! I, hiss..."
After speaking clumsily, Si Yuan suddenly spat out the letter.
