"If you're so good at practicing for fun, then isn't your husband even better?" Xiao Qiu laughed. No wonder that guy bought a piece of clothing and burned it to pieces before coming to my house to cause trouble. He said that he wanted me to change it into a new one for him, but your man took his hand and walked out. He never came back again. I thought he knew him, but now it seems that your husband must have made him suffer some losses. That's because those young people are not afraid of anything. They're just afraid that you're more ruthless than them. If he didn't suffer a loss, he wouldn't have let go so easily."
Sister Qiong smiled and said," I know about this. That person even cried and asked my husband to teach him this martial arts. He said that he only needed to learn this move because once he held his hand, his whole body would go numb. With this move, he wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing. He could just grab a big boss and hang around for a while. My husband saw that he was really a gangster and drove him away. He even warned him not to come here and cause trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let him off so easily like today."
"I thought it would be so peaceful these past few years. No one came to cause trouble. So that's what happened. Brother-in-law must have used some kind of acupuncture technique?”
Sister Qiong said," I've never learned these things, and I've never asked him. I'll learn whatever he wants me to learn. Why should a woman like me care about those things?"”
Xiao Qiu smiled." I know you know, and I know you won't tell anyone about this. I'm just asking casually. With you and brother-in-law as neighbors, I really don't have to worry about others finding trouble in the future."
After the two of them said that, they walked much faster and felt less tired. They quickly climbed to the Southern Heavenly Gate.
The Southern Heavenly Gate was still a few miles away from the Southern Mountain Hall, but it was relatively flat. The two of them arrived in a short while. Sister Qiong saw that there were people coming and going there. She remembered that Xiao Qiu had said that it was still the off-season. If it was the peak season, there would definitely be more people. There were also some people who knelt down with every step they took. She was a little impressed by their devotion. They had walked up from the foot of the mountain like this. She must not have slept at night.
She was looking around when Xiao Qiu walked over and held her hand."Let's go and burn some incense before we take a look. As we spoke, we pulled her into the hall."
There were many people in the hall. Xiao Qiu found a place to make her kneel and said,"Do you know how to invite a god?" Sister Qiong said,"Is it about being merciful and saving people in distress or something?"”
Xiao Qiu tried not to laugh, but she still said with a smile,"That's for Guanyin Bodhisattva. This is the Southern Mountain, so you don't have to say that here. Since you don't know a better way to address me, you can just call him Grandpa Holy Emperor like me. Many people call him that. After you call him that, you can tell him what you're thinking about and then do a divination. If you throw a piece to the sky and a piece to the earth, he will agree to it. If you can do it three times in a row, then you'll have confidence in what you're asking for." As he spoke, he placed a divination in her hand. Then, she knelt down and started talking about herself.
Sister Qiong did as she was told. After she told Xiao Qiu what was on her mind, she took the hexagram and threw it into the air. She threw it three times in a row, and one piece went up and one piece went down. She said to Xiao Qiu in surprise,"I threw it three times in a row and it was like what you said. Does that mean he promised me?”
Xiao Qiu said happily," That's for sure. Looks like you have a lot of hope this year. I'm done talking. It's my turn to throw." As she said that, she also threw the ball. However, hers did not go so smoothly. She said a lot of things silently. Sister Qiong did not know what she said, but she threw the ball again after she finished speaking. After a while, she said," I'm done too. Let's go get a lot. I heard that the lot here is very accurate." As he spoke, he pulled her up.
In addition to some bells and drums, there was also an old monk who was in charge of drawing lots. Xiao Qiu pulled her to the old monk and said,"We'll get a lot each."
The old monk shook the pot a few times and said,""Which one of you will go first?" "Sister Qiong, you go first," Xiao Qiu said. The old monk shook the pot three more times and placed it in front of Sister Qiong.
Sister Qiong casually drew a stick, and the old monk shook it a few more times before placing the pot in front of Xiao Qiu. Xiao Qiu also casually smoked a cigarette.
After the old monk put down the pot, he took a pen and paper and wrote down Sister Qiong's signature. Then he asked,"Who are you helping?"”"It's for my lover," said Sister Qiong.”The old monk handed her the paper and said,"" Your lot is the best. I've been working here for decades, but this is the first time you've drawn this lot. I didn't even know there was such a lot here." Sister Qiong saw the words written on it:
I've been working hard for twenty years/I'm still an orphan/I'll have good luck from now on/I'll have many children.
Sister Qiong blushed when she read the first two sentences. Wasn't this clearly talking about his own matters? They had been married for 20 years, and they had to make love for 20 nights a month. Even so, there was not a single man or woman in the family. He was the only man in the family. When he saw the last two sentences, he was happy. If that was the case, that would be great. His family had been single for so long. If I could let his family have a few more boys, he would be very happy. Thinking of this, he left a few yuan to buy water and put all his money into the Merit Box. The old monk was so happy that he called out a few times,"Slaughter now, slaughter now, good."
After Sister Qiong was done, the old monk took Xiao Qiu's lot. After he finished writing, he asked," Who did you draw this lot for? "I drew it for myself," Xiao Qiu replied. The old monk asked curiously," Both of your lots have just appeared today. It's a little strange. Why hasn't anyone drawn these two lots before?"”He handed the paper to Xiao Qiu and said,"Speaking of which, your lot is also a good one. Although it's not as good as hers, it's already very good. You still have a good fortune waiting for you in the future. It depends on whether you can hold on to it."
Xiao Qiu took it and saw that it read:
I have been lonely for many years, holding my lonely quilt./I think of the sound of spring rain in the cold night./If I can keep it for four thousand days, there will be dew to moisten me.
Xiao Qiu blushed when she saw it. Why was there such a lot here? The first two sentences simply revealed what was on his mind. Ever since her husband became a vegetable, she had been lonely and pitiful for the past few years. Thinking about how loving other couples were, her heart was really unspeakably lonely. However, the last two sentences were a little confusing. It says that I have to wait for 4,000 days, which means that I have to live like this for 11 years. Can I live like this for that long? They say that a vegetable will only last for a few years. He's about to die. Can I live like this for more than ten years?
She silently took out ten yuan and stuffed it into the merit box. There was no exit.
The two of them went outside to burn incense and hailed a taxi down the mountain. Since Sister Qiong had donated all her money, Xiao Qiu paid for the taxi fare. Seeing that Xiao Qiu was a little unhappy, Sister Qiong advised her,"His words might not be accurate. Can't you just find one? There's nothing on it that says you can't look for it."
Xiao Qiu sighed and said," But that old monk said that if I could keep it that long, I would have a good life in the future. I'm thirty-two this year. In another eleven years, I'll be forty-three." According to the current average lifespan of 75 years, I can still live a good life for more than 30 years. I would rather believe his words. If I had found a person earlier, I might as well wait for these 10 years. If you really have a child this year, then his words will be credible. I'll wait. Do you think this is okay?"
Sister Qiong looked at her sincere face and knew that what she said now was very important. What she needed now was someone to support her. If what she said contradicted her thoughts, she would feel even worse. "I think this is very good." To cheer her up, he smiled and said,"If you haven't found your other half by then, let my son marry you. But by then, you'll have to call me mom."“
The two of them sat at the back and spoke in the local dialect. They were not afraid that the driver would hear them. When Xiao Qiu heard her words, she put her hand under her shirt and tickled her while smiling." You are so shameless. You actually said such words. Your son doesn't even have a shadow now. If he does, I will be an old woman when he grows up. See if I don't scratch you to death."“
Sister Qiong giggled at her tickling. Maybe my son is a child prodigy. In another eleven years, my son will be eleven years old. In ancient times, many people in their teens were married. Maybe that old monk wants you to wait to be my daughter-in-law.“
Xiao Qiu scratched even harder and said with a smile, You still say that you haven't had enough, right?”Sister Qiong crossed her arms in front of her chest and laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe. She could only say,"Stop fooling around. I won't say anything, okay?”
Xiao Qiu knew that Sister Qiong was trying to make her happy. Otherwise, she would not be able to withstand a casual counterattack from her martial arts. Seeing that she had said so, she withdrew her hand. With her tantrum, her unhappiness really disappeared. She smiled and said,"If you say it again, I'll tickle you again."
Sister Qiong saw that she no longer looked unhappy and smiled."I can't stop talking. To be honest, I'm really happy to see my lot. I haven't been so happy in a long time."
Xiao Qiu also smiled and said,"I think you're a little too happy. You donated so much money to him, and he kept talking about how to rip you off. You have more than a thousand, right?"”
" I haven't counted it, but there are more than 1,000. If that's really the case, I think it's worth it. At least I'm happy now."
Time passed unknowingly after they made a scene. The car arrived at the foot of the mountain. The two of them got out of the car and walked around the town. There were many small things and souvenirs here. Sister Qiong was not interested in those small things because she did not have children at home. She knew that her husband liked to read, so she looked at a bookstall and said to Xiao Qiu, who was choosing some decorations there,"I'm going to that bookstall. If you've chosen, come and find me there." Seeing that Xiao Qiu had agreed, she went to the bookstall.
As soon as she arrived, she saw that there were no books that her husband liked to read. Most of them were magazines. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She saw a thin book next to a magazine. There was a title on the cover: She was interested in the book on how to prevent herself from getting pregnant, so she started reading it. She bought the book after reading the article.
