Chapter 53

The old man put down the basket in his hand and sat down in front of the fortune telling booth.

Chen Ning handed over a pen and paper and said with a smile, "Old uncle, just write a word."

The old man thought about it for a bit before writing the word "success".

He was worried that the other party would shoot his mouth off and say something unpleasant. That would be very unlucky, so he chose the word 'Cheng'.

As the saying goes, one's wishes come true. She couldn't say anything bad about this word, could she?

Who would have thought that when Chen Ning saw the "success" word, the smile on her face disappeared. She knit her brows and gave a sigh.

The old man's heart skipped a beat and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He nervously asked, "Miss, is there anything wrong with this" success "word?"

Chen Ning shook her head and gave a sigh.

The old man's heart became even more uneasy. He nervously said, "Miss, please speak your mind."

Chen Ning knew that if she said something good, the old man would not say anything and just leave. So she purposely gave a sad sigh. It really hooked the old man's appetite, making him unable to stop.

"Old uncle, since you say it like this, then I'll speak my mind. The "success" word you're testing has a very good meaning. Success, your wishes will come true and you will become a great person. It's all because of this "success" word. There's also the phrase "ride the clouds", which is also a homonym for this "success" word. So, your son will definitely have a great future. "

Chen Ning spoke clearly and the old man listened attentively. He stroked his beard and couldn't help nodding with a faint smile.

Who would have thought that Chen Ning's words would suddenly change, "But, this" success "word also has a bad point. Old uncle, please take a look, it contains the word" spear ". It contains a hidden killing intent, as well as the meaning of war, so your son will have a bloody disaster. There's also another thing, the" success "word belongs to the metal element and fire suppresses metal. Right now is the fire season in the third month, so this is not good."

The old man couldn't help giving a snort as a look of disbelief flashed across his face.

Of course Chen Ning knew why the old man didn't believe her. It was because normal people liked to hear good things and hated to hear bad things.

Her eyes looked over the old man's face and she softly said, "Old uncle, does your beloved son cry in the middle of the night every night? And when the rooster crows five times, does he stop crying and fall asleep? "

The old man's brows couldn't help jumping up. He looked at Chen Ning in shock and blurted out, "That's right! How do you know? "

Chen Ning calmly said, "This is the fire restraining metal that I was talking about. The day is divided into 24 hours, with the fire at its strongest and the Yin at its weakest. If I'm not wrong, you should have named your beloved son after this" Cheng "character. He is restrained by fire, so he cries in the middle of the night, stopping at dawn."

The old man stared at Chen Ning and the expression on his face could no longer be described with the word "success".

Originally, he had sat down to do the fortune-telling just to get some good luck. He wanted the other party to say a few auspicious words and then casually throw a few copper coins and leave.

But when he heard the words' bloody calamity ', he was already inwardly furious. He felt that the other party was talking nonsense and was just a swindler trying to cheat him of his money.

At that time, he was prepared to leave, but who would have thought that Chen Ning's next words would shock him. She had described the scene of his beloved son crying every night, as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

"Ning said."
