Jing Chen was used to it and said, "I've been learning since I was young and I can sense it. Once my Taoist heart is triggered, I'll be implicated and the other party will be in trouble."
How did the sixth sense come into play? Did it have to be so accurate? Yu Shu glared at Jing Chen and did not know whether to laugh or cry. "This … this is like cutting vegetables with your hand. You can't blame yourself for being careless, but blame the kitchen knife seller and the pig butcher next door. What's the relationship between the two?"
The gray gauze on the brim of the hat was blown by her breath. Jing Chen was silent. His mind was filled with thoughts of the butcher and the butcher, and he was a little confused. After calming down for a while, he drove out these messy thoughts that were trying to subvert his many years of knowledge. He suppressed the desire that was about to burst out of his heart and said in a low voice, "I'm telling the truth. The Adversity Blocking Stone has been lost. If you get involved with me again, there will be endless disasters."
If possible, he also wanted to be friends with her. He liked the way she spoke, her lively personality, and even her occasional complaints were interesting to him. There was no such person in Longhu. Most of them were dull and boring, just like him.
However, he could not. No one knew the dangers of fate better than him. He did not want the person who took the initiative to get close to him to hate him one day.
At the end of the day, it was all because of that small stone. Yu Shu thought angrily. It wasn't that she didn't believe Jing Chen's words. It was just that she had to blame everything that had happened to her on an unrelated person. She really couldn't bring herself to do such a shameless and hurtful thing.
Who did not have misfortune and good fortune? Who could avoid misfortune for the rest of their lives?
In her opinion, it was her fault that she almost became a tribute and was beaten up and chased out by the Ji family. However, she was saved by Jing Chen, picked up by Cao Zixin, taken in by Zhao Hui, appreciated by Pei Jing, and accepted as a disciple by Qing Zheng. Wasn't it all her luck?
Did this mean that everything that happened to her after she met Jing Chen was all bad luck? Moreover, the money for Zhao Hui's medical treatment was prepared with Jing Chen's help.
Jing Chen had helped her time and time again and stood up for her, but now that something had happened to her, she still had to blame him. Was there such a damned logic?
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt relieved.
"Jing Chen," Yu Shu called his name directly for the first time, "Two days ago, I was at the Three Pure Ones meeting and I was doing fortune-telling for someone. That Mister Da said that I had a dog shit life and gave me a sentence. He said something like, 'A short life isn't a great emptiness, but one's life is full of calamities and difficulties, frequent calamities and adversity, and one's life is full of hardships and difficulties.' In other words, everyone in the city is a short-lived ghost. Their lives are cheap, and they don't have any consciousness. Then, someone told me that when it comes to fame and fortune, we can only believe it five or six times. Sometimes, it can't be done accurately.
She talked about a lot of things and finally sighed. She raised her head and said seriously, "I want to say that without you, my luck would not be much better. Maybe I would be even more unlucky. No matter what, I want to thank you for helping me when I was at my wit's end."
Yu Shu was rather gloomy. As a mathematics student, she really couldn't say anything too emotional. In any case, what she meant was what she meant: "You've stayed in Yiyang City for so long. You should have finished what you needed to do. If you want to leave, then leave. It's just that I still owe you a favor. Remember this for me. If you pass by Yiyang City again, you must come and see me … Goodbye."
Yu Shu took two steps back and smiled and waved at Jing Chen. Her dirty face squeezed out a smile. There was some sadness, some reluctance, and some sparkling enthusiasm. Every one of them was sincere.
Looking at her smiling face, something moved in Jing Chen's heart. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he nodded his head towards her. He looked at her seriously. After looking at her lively face a few times, he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alleyway. After a few steps, his eyes regained their clarity.
Before he found the person who could break his fate, he had to guard his Dao Heart and not move a single step.
… …
Yu Shu watched as Jing Chen disappeared from her sight. Only then did she retract her gaze in disappointment. In her heart, she thought that in the future, there would be no place for her to pour out her grievances. Just as her hand was placed on the door, the door in front of her was pulled open. Yu Xiaoxiu stood at the door with a basin of water in his hand. When he saw Yu Shu who was covered in mud, he almost thought that she was a beggar — — "Big sister, big sister! You're back, you're finally back. Quickly come in, Aunt Huei has woken up! "
"Really?" Yu Shu was pleasantly surprised. She first put aside the matter regarding Jing Chen. In the morning, when she left, Zhao Hui was still unconscious, and she was worried that Zhao Hui wouldn't be able to make it. Now, it's great!
"Really, really!"
Yu Xiaoxiu casually splashed the water outside the door, then pulled Yu Shu's hand and walked inside.
Zhao Hui was lying on the bed sickly. The white undershirt that she was wearing in the mountains was changed after Aunt Hu, who lived next door, helped her wipe her body after she had a fever in the morning. A thick white gauze was wrapped around her head, and the arm that was outside of the blanket was also carefully bandaged. She heard some of the movements outside, but since she couldn't move her head, she could only turn her head and look towards the door.
Yu Shu knew that her body was dirty, so she squatted at the side of the bed and didn't dare to get too close. Seeing that Zhao Hui was looking at her with her swollen eyelids, Yu Shu asked nervously, "Aunt Huei, Aunt Huei, are you awake? Can you still recognize me? "
Yesterday, Doctor He said that after Zhao Hui woke up, she might not be able to recognize anyone for a while. On one hand, Yu Shu felt that it was good for Zhao Hui to forget those sad things, but on the other hand, she was worried that Zhao Hui would also forget about it.
"Xiao … Yu."
Zhao Hui's voice was light, but Yu Shu still heard it. She was so happy that she almost shed tears. She nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, it's Xiao Yu. It's me, it's me."
She turned her head and asked Yu Xiaoxiu, "Did Doctor He come today? What did he say?"
Yu Xiaoxiu said, "Not long after he left, he gave Aunt Huei acupuncture treatment and changed the medicine for her wound. He also left two packets of medicine for Aunt Hu to boil. Sister, Doctor He also asked about you."
Yu Shu's eyelids twitched, "What did he ask me?"
Zhao Hui and Yu Xiaoxiu didn't know about the five hundred taels. Yesterday, she was in a hurry and forgot to tell Doctor He not to let him slip again.
"He just asked when you're coming back and told you to go to his place."
"Oh." Yu Shu secretly sighed.
"Xiao … Yu."
Hearing Zhao Hui's soft call, Yu Shu turned her gaze back to her. She saw the worry in her eyes under her swollen eyelids and her pale face, which made her heart ache. She comforted her in a soft voice, "Aunt Huei, rest well and don't think about anything. Doctor He's medical skills are very high and he will cure you. You should close your eyes and rest first. I'll go to Doctor He's place and see why he's looking for me. I'll talk to you when I come back."
Zhao Hui had just woken up not long ago. She had lost a lot of blood from her head and couldn't hold on for a while. When she saw that Yu Shu was fine, she felt a bit more at ease and closed her eyes weakly.
Yu Shu ordered Yu Xiaoxiu to fetch some water. She placed the money in her bag in an inconspicuous place and picked out eighty taels worth of banknotes. She patted the banknotes and thought to herself, 'It's better to be rich.' She went out to wash her hands and face, drank half a pot of water, and returned to the room to change into a set of clean clothes. Then she hugged the heavy bag of gold and hurried out to give the money to He Fangzhi.
The sky was about to turn dark, so she didn't dare to slow down. When she arrived at the clinic, He Fangzhi was rubbing the medicine. He wasn't surprised to see her, but he was invited to the back hall by Yu Shu. When he saw her open the cloth bag in her arms and reveal a bag of silver, he was dumbfounded.
Yu Shu taught him the principle of not showing off one's wealth, but He Fangzhi was the one who handled the money. She didn't suspect him, so she simply revealed it openly. "Doctor He, there's five hundred taels here. It's a bit more than that. Please count it and see if it's enough."
He Fangzhi closed his mouth and turned around to call the medicine boy to stand guard at the door. There was a silver scale there and he carefully counted the money. In the end, it was five hundred taels and seventeen taels.
Yu Shu helped him pack up the silver and took out two ingots of silver. She gave them to him. "Doctor He, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my aunt's illness. These five hundred taels are for the medicine. If it's not enough, I'll think of something else later. You must accept the consultation fee. Otherwise, I won't feel at ease seeing you running to our house every day."
Yu Shu was able to raise five hundred taels of gold in two days, so He Fangzhi wouldn't treat her like an ordinary child. Seeing that she was able to speak openly at such a young age, he hesitated for a moment before weighing one ingot and returning the other to her. "This is my subordinate. Take this back and buy some oil for your younger brother to nourish his body. I'll take his pulse in the next few days. This child's body is a bit weak. If he doesn't eat well, it'll affect his growth. As for your aunt, she's in good condition and isn't in any danger for the time being. You don't have to worry. I'll go see her tomorrow morning."
Yu Shu admired He Fangzhi's medical ethics and bowed to thank him.
After carefully listening to the will, Yu Shu walked out of the medical center. She took a deep breath of the cool night air and exhaled the foul air. She went straight to the stall selling mutton pancakes on the street and bought three in one go. She squatted at the intersection and stuffed them into her mouth. She ate them happily.
She had been hungry since last night and felt like she was floating when she walked.
She silently rubbed her stomach and wiped the oil from her mouth. Ignoring the disdainful looks from passersby, she bought five more mutton pancakes and took them home. She wrapped them up separately and prepared to bring them back to Auntie Hu, her family of three, and Xiaoxiu.
She didn't go to other places. Her legs were as if they were being moved. If she didn't go home and lie down, they would break tomorrow.
Yu Xiaoxiu didn't go back to the Ji family since last night. At this critical moment, the siblings didn't have the mood to think about the Ji family.
At night, Yu Shu and Yu Xiaoxiu huddled on a bamboo bed, covered with quilts. Zhao Hui was lying on the bed opposite them, sleeping quietly.
"Sister, are you asleep?" Yu Xiaoxiu turned over and looked at Yu Shu's blurry side profile in the darkness. No matter when it was, as long as his sister was there, he felt that there was nothing to be afraid of.
"Well, you should go to sleep too."
Yu Shu closed her eyes, but her mind was in a mess. First, it was about Zhao Hui, then it was about Jing Chen.
Her master would be back in two days. At that time, she would ask him to check Aunt Huei's horoscope and Jing Chen's horoscope. She had to ask her master what was going on with Ji Du Xing.
