"Aunt Huei, Aunt Huei, walk slower and watch the road carefully."
Yu Shu was pulled by Zhao Hui and pushed out of the crowd. She could only firmly hold on to Yu Xiaoxiu, who was panicking, so that they wouldn't get separated. There seemed to be a few people pointing at them and talking about "dog shit life" behind them, which made Zhao Hui hold on to her wrist even more tightly. She quickened her pace and almost rushed out of the crowd.
Yu Shu was actually a little depressed. If it was anyone else, they probably wouldn't be happy if they were given a "dog shit life". Although strictly speaking, that date of birth belonged to the short-lived ghost of her predecessor and not her, who knew if she would also be affected by this "dog shit life" after changing her body.
The pedestrians on the roadside gradually decreased. Zhao Hui pulled her all the way out of the territory of Sanqing Association, then stopped by the roadside, turned her head, and revealed a forced smile. She held Yu Shu's hand and comforted her incoherently, "It's okay, that person's fortune is not accurate. How can you be a short-lived person? You have already passed through such a big disaster. Aunt Huei sees that you are a lucky child, not like what he said. It's simply, simply nonsense.
Seeing her panicked face a little pale, Yu Shu didn't have the mood to think blindly. She nodded and held her hand firmly, and said with certainty, "Yes, you see how old that person is. His hair and beard are all white, so his eyesight must be bad. It's hard to say whether he could read the words on the paper clearly or not. I must have seen it wrong." Seeing that there was no sadness on her face, Zhao Hui felt a little better. She said regretfully, "Really, if I knew this earlier, I would have gone to the Liu family's queue. What do I want to be fast? No, let's go again. This time, we will go to the Liu family's queue. Maybe the Kong family will also come later."
Yu Shu hurriedly pulled her and begged for mercy, "Don't go, Aunt Huei, it's not easy to squeeze out. If I go there again, I will lose my life!"
After Yu Shu repeatedly persuaded Zhao Hui to give up the idea of plunging into the crowd again. Yu Xiaoxiu was sullen at the side. The three of them were all worried about "dog shit life" and didn't have the mood to play anymore.
"Then you two wait here. I will go back to find your Brother Cao. Let's not shop today. Let's see if he will go back with us."
"Aunt Huei, you stay here. I will go and find him." Yu Shu didn't want Zhao Hui to make another trip. She was afraid that she would make another mistake because she was absent-minded, so she gave Yu Xiaoxiu a look. Without waiting for her to agree, she turned around and ran in the direction of the Taoist temple.
"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu — — Sigh, this child ran so fast. I didn't even have time to say anything." Zhao Hui stomped her feet and turned to Yu Xiaoxiu. "Xiaoxiu, the words that Sir gave your sister's fortune just now can't be said to outsiders. Do you understand?"
Yu Xiaoxiu nodded. He understood that it wasn't a good thing if other people found out that his sister had a "dog shit life".
Zhao Hui thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell your Brother Cao either. Do you understand?"
Yu Xiaoxiu also nodded and didn't ask anything. In his eyes, except for his sister, everyone else was an outsider. Brother Cao was the same.
。。。 In the end, Cao Zixin escorted Zhao Hui and the others home. They had lunch at Zhao Hui's house. Zhao Hui cooked in the kitchen, and Yu Shu helped her. Yu Xiaoxiu and Cao Zixin sat at the table and stared at each other.
"Xiaoxiu, did something happen when we were separated?"
Cao Zixin found it strange. When they came out of Qiyun Temple, before they were separated by the crowd, they were both smiling. When they met again, the atmosphere was strange. On the way back, Yu Shu kept talking and making Zhao Hui laugh. Usually, those jokes would make Zhao Hui laugh. But today, she didn't even laugh. She just hurried home to cook.
Yu Xiaoxiu slowly shook his head. "No." Aunt Huei said that he couldn't tell Brother Cao.
Cao Zixin: "Really?
Yu Xiaoxiu looked to the side. "Really." Zixin knew at a glance that the child was lying. He didn't dare to look at him. He was more and more worried that something had happened. When they were eating, he pretended that nothing had happened. After the meal, when the host cleaned up the dishes, he got up and said goodbye. He took the opportunity to call Yu Shu: "Shu, didn't you say you wanted two fine brushes last time? I found two yesterday. Come with me to get them." "Okay." Yu Shu nodded and said to Zhao Hui, "Aunt Huei, I'll be back soon."
"Okay."
From beginning to end, Zhao Hui didn't give Yu Shu any extra instructions. In her opinion, Yu Shu definitely wouldn't tell anyone about her "dog shit life". Yu Shu followed Cao Zixin to the opposite door and entered the courtyard. Cao Zixin didn't rush into the house. Instead, he stood at the door and turned to look at her. He asked: "What happened? I saw that Aunt Huei doesn't look good. She seems angry with someone. Did you make her unhappy?"
Yu Shu said innocently: "I can't wait to make her happy. Why would I make her unhappy?"
"Then what happened?"
"It's a gentleman from the Three Pure Meeting." Yu Shu touched her nose and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She said: "He said that my life is not good. Aunt Huei is not happy."
Cao Zixin knew that most of the gentlemen from the Three Pure Meeting were really capable. It was even more impossible for Zhao Hui to find someone to ask questions. So he asked: "What's the name of that gentleman?"
The banner said 'Hongchuan Yi Store'. The gentleman's surname is Hong. He's old and has a white beard. " Cao Zixin's eyelids twitched. He had an idea in his mind. He asked: "What did he say?" Yu Shu looked at his concerned face. She rolled her eyes and thought for a while. Then, she casually shook her head and said: "A short life is not a bad thing. My life is full of difficulties and disasters. I'm in a difficult situation. I'm always in a difficult situation. I can't do anything for the rest of my life. The gentleman said that I have a dog shit life."
At the end of her words, Yu Shu even pointed at her own nose. She observed Cao Zixin without batting an eyelid. She blinked her eyes and waited for him to change his expression.
Cao Zixin was only stunned for a moment. He quickly hid his astonishment. He frowned and thought for a moment. Then, he said to Yu Shu in a serious voice: "You can only believe in half or half of it. In this world, there are only a handful of Yi Masters who can determine life and death and determine fortune and disaster. I'll say something unpleasant. In this Yiyang City, there isn't one. If you really believe in it and give up on yourself, then you're a fool. Shu, Brother Cao has known you for so many days. I think you're a smart, ambitious, and opinionated girl. You won't belittle yourself just because of a few words, right? "
Cao Zixin had the standard appearance of an elegant person. He had thick eyebrows, long eyes, and a straight nose. If he wasn't a businessman, anyone would think that he was a scholar, and a very talented one at that. With this kind of appearance, he was very convincing when he spoke. If he kept a straight face, didn't smile, and was a little more serious, then he could give people an extra sense of security. The little bit of depression in Yu Shu's heart inexplicably disappeared. She looked at Cao Zixin with curved eyebrows. She jokingly said: "If I believed in it, I would have hidden away and sulked. How could I still stand here and talk about that matter?"
Cao Zixin carefully looked at her. He was sure that she was fine. He then felt relieved and warmly said: "I'll go in and get the brush for you. You wait here."
"Okay."
Cao Zixin went to the small study room in the courtyard and looked around. After a while, he came out with two brushes and gave them to Yu Shu.
Yu Shu thanked him. Cao Zixin saw her out the door. After seeing her enter the opposite door, he gently closed the door. He put his hand into his sleeve and took out a small paper bag. He opened it and saw a green paulownia comb. It was small enough to fit on her hair. If Zhao Hui saw it, she would definitely recognize it. It was the most suitable comb that Yu Shu tried to wear in the morning when they were shopping in the Three Pure Ones Group.
His finger plucked at the teeth of the comb, which made a series of crisp sounds. Cao Zixin bitterly smiled. He held the bronze comb and walked to the study room. He found a wooden box under the bookcase and gently put it inside and closed it. "What? You want to go back to your hometown to sweep the tombs? "
When Yu Shu went out in the morning, she saw Cao Zixin waiting outside. She heard that he wanted to go back to his hometown to sweep the tombs.
"Yes." Cao Zixin stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked at the little girl who was a head shorter than him.
Yu Shu asked: "When are you coming back? Why didn't you mention it yesterday? "
Cao Zixin said: "It will take two days to half a month. I haven't gone back since Qingming. Last night, an elder came to me in my dream. I feel uneasy, so I will go and see. Can you help me tell Aunt Huei that I couldn't say goodbye to her? "
"It's okay. I will help you tell her. You have to be careful on the road."
Cao Zixin nodded. Seeing the concern in her eyes, he couldn't help but say: "You should check the doors and windows several times before going to bed. Lock the door when you go out. Don't stay outside when it's dark. Hurry home, okay?"
When Yu Shu heard him telling her like a child, she smiled and said: "I know. Are you going now? Do you want me to send you?"
Cao Zixin shook his head bitterly: "I have to go back to pack my things and rent a carriage. Aren't you going to the Chamber of Commerce? Hurry up and don't be late."
"Okay." Yu Shu turned around and closed the door. When she turned her head, she saw him staring at her. She touched her face, thinking that it was salt from brushing her teeth. "What's wrong?"
Cao Zixin looked away: "It's nothing. Hurry up and go."
"Oh." Yu Shu jumped down the stairs and walked a few steps forward. Then she turned back and waved at him. She grinned and said: "Goodbye, Brother Cao."
Cao Zixin chuckled and nodded. When she ran away and disappeared at the end of the alley, his smile disappeared. He turned around and entered the courtyard.
。。。 At noon, Yu Shu stayed in the Chamber of Commerce to have lunch with Pei Jing. It wasn't dry cakes or tea, but three dishes and a soup.
After half a month, Pei Jing liked Yu Shu more and more. If it wasn't for Yu Shu claiming that she had a master before, he really wanted to recognize her as his disciple and teach her everything he knew. He wanted to see how much she could learn.
Today, Pei Jing asked Yu Shu to look through some old accounts of the Tai Ran Heng Chamber of Commerce and let her find the fake money. Yu Shu finished it in the middle of the afternoon. She picked out the money and showed it to Pei Jing. After getting his approval, she went home early.
Yu Shu still had a handful of silver coins in her hand. She wanted to buy a pair of shoes for Zhao Hui as a return gift for her clothes and school bag that day, so she asked Pei Jing about it. She found a tailor's shop in a small alley near Wanxiang Street. After picking and choosing, she bought a pair of embroidered shoes with orchid soles. She put them in her bag and excitedly went to Changmenpu Street to find Zhao Hui. She planned to give her a surprise when she returned home that night, just like that day.
