On the lakeside of the Yang Capital, a fortune-teller who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old shook his head and explained to the master and servant beside him as if he was trying to pry into the secrets of the heavens,"Miss, you're wrong. My Divine Minister Liang Xi's name is well-known in Yang Capital and I'm honest. I was just shocked by your Miss's unique fate, so I didn't come back to my senses.”
As Yang Capital's number one fortune-teller, or simply the most successful swindler in the city, Liang Xi's reflexes were already so fast that it made one's hair stand on end. Just now, she had quietly touched the back of the Wang family's young lady's hand, but she didn't expect to be caught red-handed by her servant girl.
Now that he was being pursued, his expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, as if he was the most serious person in the world.
Liang Xi bowed deeply, but her eyes kept rolling."I really don't know how Miss Wang takes care of her skin. Tsk tsk, it's as if it's washed with milk. It's smooth and tender.”
Seeing his sincere attitude, coupled with his delicate face and fair skin, which made people not feel bad, the maid Xiao He was sure that his eyes were clear and there was no obscene thought in his mind. She pulled the Miss and whispered,"Miss, if she dares to take advantage of you, tell me. When we go back, I'll report to Old Master and ask Butler Wang to bring a few martial masters to break his legs.”
"I understand." Miss said shyly, her face blushing as she placed her hand in Liang Xi's palm again.
Liang Xi pretended to look at the cold, smooth, and slightly trembling hand in her hand for a while. Just as the maid Xiao He was about to lose her patience, she deduced,"I can see that there is a fresh air hidden in the palm lines of Young Lady, like a blue lake in March, with spring rain coming. It is so beautiful. Then, I see that Young Lady's face is like a full moon, her eyes are like spring water, and the veins in her palm and the full moon face form the scene of a phoenix seeking a phoenix. Red lines are gathering wantonly, and peach blossoms are in full bloom. It is the sign of a happy event. I don't know if you want to ask about marriage, marriage, or marriage?”
Listening to Liang Xi's explanation, Miss was secretly happy, but she did not dare to show it on her face. She said lightly,"I want to ask about marriage."
"Marriage, miss, you asked the right question. I just said that your palm reading is the best in marriage.”Liang Xi said with absolute certainty," I'm afraid that in a few days, you'll be able to meet your ideal husband.”
The maid Xiao He had been listening to her teacher's deduction. When she heard her teacher say that her miss 'wish could be fulfilled, she couldn't help but smile.
"Xiao He, hurry up and tip me." The young lady of the Wang family immediately urged the maidservant.
" How can I do that? Marriage is determined by the matchmaker. I only revealed the information of marriage to Miss. Money is just a worldly possession--" Liang Xi said, but her eyes glanced at Xiao He's small hand holding the silver.
No matter how he looked at it, it was all white silver. He felt refreshed looking at it!
Xiao He laughed and hopped to Liang Xi, patting him on the shoulder.""Sir, my young miss said, when you said a few days, how many days exactly? I'll only give you the silver if you say it well."
Compared to Xiao He's pretty face, Liang Xi was more attracted to the silver. He looked at the big silver ingot and swallowed. He dragged out his voice, blinked and said seriously," Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, of course, it could also be today, maybe now."”
This chick is so perky. If I say that you're beautiful, isn't this marriage?
"You lecher." Miss covered her mouth and chuckled. She waved her hand." Give it to him."”
Xiao He was not very satisfied with this answer. Sir was obviously teasing you. Why did Miss look so happy? Looking at the Miss's shy appearance, Xiao He reached out her hand to Liang Xi, but she thought to herself, could it be that these two people have already…hehe.
Liang Xi giggled and was about to reach out to take the silver when she accidentally looked up into the distance. Her expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly pushed the silver back into the young lady's hands. She pulled the cloth banner of the Divine Form beside her and stuffed it into her arms."My apologies, Miss. I suddenly felt unwell and wanted to take a dump. If we are fated, we will naturally meet again in Yang Capital.”
After saying that, he disappeared in a flash, leaving only the master and servant standing on the spot, staring at each other with a stunned expression, not knowing what had happened.
After running into the alley and making many turns, Liang Xi panted and looked back a few times. After making sure that no one was following her, she heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Damn it, business is ruined just like that!”Liang Xi was extremely depressed. She cursed," You three will raise a son with no eyes, but you will raise a daughter with two eyes!”
Great Chu had a perverted mayor, and he had given birth to three bullsh * t sons. Otherwise, he would have earned a total of five taels of silver today! At least he didn't have to worry about rent this year.
As the sons of the district head of Fat Meat Side, the three brothers would take away the money that the craftsmen should earn whenever they saw them doing business on the street, regardless of the size of the business. If they were unlucky, they would even be beaten up.
She couldn't do business today. Liang Xi walked around for a while and could only walk dejectedly to her temporary residence.
When Liang Xi passed by an abandoned house not far from home, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
There seemed to be smoke rising from behind the wall. Could it be that someone was roasting a goose?
Everyone who saw it had a share, and since she had yet to get her lunch, Liang Xi rolled up her sleeves and sneakily climbed over the back wall.
After walking to the back of the house, Liang Xi was shocked and froze when she saw the scene in front of her.
A huge pit appeared behind the courtyard, sinking at least two feet into the ground. The surrounding soil was overturned and scattered everywhere. The soil in the big pit seemed to have been burned, turning black. The air was filled with a burnt smell. What surprised Liang Xi was that there was a person lying in the big pit. She didn't know if he was dead or alive.
"Hey, are you still alive?" Liang Xi called out tentatively and looked around. She didn't see anyone else at the scene.
Seeing that the person did not move, Liang Xi heaved a sigh of relief. She jumped into the pit and reached out to touch the person, muttering,"Seeing that you died here for no reason, I'm a very kind person. I'll definitely report it to the authorities later and ask them to collect your body. However, everyone says that whoever sees it has a share. No matter how you died, I'll get someone to collect your body. You have to repay me, right?”
After searching the dead man's back for a while, Liang Xi didn't find anything. Just as she was about to turn him over, the dead man suddenly moved.
"Zombie!" Liang Xi felt her scalp tingle. She shouted and took a few steps back. She reached out to grab the stick that she had inserted into the signboard. After reaching out to grab empty air, she remembered that the stick had been placed outside by him.
Just as Liang Xi was letting her imagination run wild, the dead man stopped moving again.
Liang Xi wiped the cold sweat off her forehead, picked up a stone and threw it at the corpse. After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no movement, she went forward again.
"I was probably seeing things just now.”Liang Xi panted a few times. She glanced at the corpse and continued,""Brother, brother, you're dead anyway, but I won't despise you. I'll look for anything valuable that you left for me, and I'll make my move now.”
After pretending to wait for a while, Liang Xi chuckled."You're really a benefactor. If you don't say anything, I'll take it that you agree.”
Liang Xi turned the body over and found that the person looked to be a burly man in his thirties.
"Probably because he was robbed." Liang Xi muttered to herself," Why would there be robberies in this area? That's strange."
As he was thinking about his thoughts while searching for silver on the corpse, Liang Xi suddenly felt the body in his hand tremble. What shocked him was that the eyes of the corpse squirmed a few times before opening and staring at him.
"Wow!" Liang Xi was so scared that he shouted. This time, he could see clearly. He threw the person's body far away with both hands and hurriedly climbed out of the big pit with his hands and feet. He panted heavily and looked at the person who fell to the ground.
Could it really be that the corpse had come back to life in broad daylight? Liang Xi only felt her heart beating very fast. That blow just now had really scared him quite badly.
The body, which was unknown whether it was a corpse or a living person, was also badly injured by Liang Xi's fall. After a while, there was some movement again. His fingers curled slightly, and not long after, this person actually struggled to stand up.
This time, Liang Xi saw clearly that this was not a zombie. Although this person was seriously injured, he was not dead. When she saw him lying on the ground without moving, she subconsciously thought that he was a corpse. In fact, this was not the case.
This person was obviously heavily injured. He struggled on the ground for a few times but could not get up. When he fell, the wounds on his body opened up and a large amount of blood flowed out.
"Hey, are you okay?" Liang Xi saw that the man was still struggling to stand up even though he was so injured, and suddenly felt pity for him. If no one saved him, he would probably die here, so she mustered up her courage and walked to the front to ask.
The man obviously didn't expect there to be someone beside him. After he saw Liang Xi clearly, although he couldn't speak, his eyes flashed with a trace of joy. He desperately raised his left hand in front of Liang Xi, and the black jade ring on his left thumb made Liang Xi's eyes go straight.
The jade thumb ring was dark green in color without any impurities. There were two golden stripes embedded on it. It was obvious that it was a priceless item.
Liang Xi looked at this person for a while, but she didn't understand what he meant. She only knew that saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda. Since he didn't die, she should save him. She shook her head, took the jade ring from his hand, and ran out.
