After the meal, Yu Shu went to clean the table. Yu Xiaoxiu stayed in the room to do his homework and accompany Zhao Hui.
Yu Shu came in with her hair tied up. She looked at the table and asked, "You didn't go home or to class for the past two days. Didn't they say anything when you went today?"
After Zhao Hui's accident, Yu Xiaoxiu skipped classes for three days and didn't even go home. He only went back to Sanjue Study House for classes this morning.
Yu Xiaoxiu didn't even raise his head as he replied, "The Ji family doesn't have the time to care about me right now. Fourth Miss is back, and the whole family revolves around her. No one would know even if I died."
Miss Si of the Ji family is back? Miss Si, who killed her predecessor with a piece of jade, is back?
Yu Shu was stunned. Then she reached out to twist Yu Xiaoxiu's ear, "What do you mean by dying? Are you looking for trouble?"
Yu Xiaoxiu didn't struggle. He just whispered, "It hurts." Yu Shu quickly let go and rubbed his ear.
Speaking of the private school, Yu Xiaoxiu remembered something that made his teeth itch. He sneered, "Xue Wenzhe, that silly boy. He was half dead a few days ago, but now he's jumping around happily. He goes to the Ji family all day and doesn't even ask about you. He doesn't even think about who saved his life."
Yu Shu thought that she couldn't wait for Miss Xue to completely forget about her. She patted Yu Xiaoxiu's head and jokingly said, "You're still calling him a silly boy. He's a few years older than you."
"So what? He's an ungrateful bastard." Yu Xiaoxiu was sometimes even more petty than Yu Shu. He still remembered the day when Xue Wenzhe called them to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant and humiliated them, making them go home hungry and then getting caught for stealing fish. Yu Shu laughed and patted him. "Alright, hurry up and finish your homework. Keep an eye on Aunt Hui. I'm going out for a while. The lamp oil at home is running out. I'm going to buy some."
Yu Shu took the money and went out. She closed the door behind her. When she turned her face, she saw a piece of dried tree bark. She almost screamed. Her heart skipped a beat and she moved to the side. She patted her chest and rebuked, "Master, don't you know that you'll scare people to death with your face?"
Daoist Qing Zheng, who came back three days late, glared at his unruly disciple and walked towards the entrance of the alley with his hands clasped behind his back. Yu Shu hurriedly followed him, thinking over and over again how she had provoked this angry old man.
— — —
The master and disciple returned to Qing Zheng's courtyard one after the other. As soon as the door closed, Qing Zheng turned his face and became angry, "You did a good job!"
"What?" Yu Shu looked confused.
Qing Zheng said in a low voice, "Life, death, illness, and old age are all fated. You saved a person who should have died. Do you know you've caused trouble?"
Hearing this, Yu Shu pursed her lips and thought. She asked, "Master, are you talking about Aunt Huei?"
"It's the woman who sold wonton noodles." Qing Zheng shook his sleeves and walked to the rattan chair in the courtyard and lay down. He knew that the woman didn't have long to live, so he left Yiyang on time. He was afraid that with him around, Yu Shu would stir up trouble. He didn't expect that he would deliberately come back a few days late, but this evil disciple still went against her life.
Yu Shu also understood. She pulled a long face and said in a muffled voice, "Master, you already knew that something would happen to Aunt Huei, didn't you?"
In fact, in the past few days, Zhao Hui was sometimes good and sometimes bad. She calmed down and used the Gate of Life and Death to make a divination. In the end, she predicted that she would die in the first round and suddenly had a way to live in the second round. She didn't have the ability to predict life and death. At that time, she vaguely felt that Zhao Hui's fate had changed, but she didn't want to think about it. Now that Qing Zheng mentioned it, she couldn't even pretend to be ignorant.
It turned out that Zhao Hui was supposed to die in this disaster, but because of her … she survived.
Qing Zheng said angrily, "So what if I knew it long ago? Do you still want to blame me?"
"I don't dare." Yu Shu lowered her head. She was not an unreasonable child in her teens. Qing Zheng's attitude was very clear from the beginning. When she was beaten and driven out by the Ji family, she almost lost her life. Didn't he also predict it? He didn't even say hello to her and watched her fall into trouble. He treated her like this, let alone a stranger.
She had nothing to complain about, but she didn't think that she was wrong to save people.
"What else do you not dare to do? You dare to change a person's life. Tell me, what else do you not dare to do!" This time, Qing Zheng was surprisingly angry. He didn't care that Yu Shu didn't know in advance that Zhao Hui was supposed to die in this round.
Yu Shu just lowered her head and didn't talk back. In Qing Zheng's eyes, this became a silent protest. He immediately sneered. "Everyone has their own fate. You can avoid fortune and disaster, but you can't escape life and death. I've told you these words many times, but you've turned a deaf ear. Do you think you did a good deed by trying to save her?"
Yu Shu raised her head and said unwillingly, "At least it's better to be alive than dead."
As Qing Zheng said, she didn't regret it. She only felt lucky. Lucky that Zhao Hui was still alive. For a person who died and was reborn, nothing was more important than being alive.
Qing Zheng looked at her calm and carefree eyes. He took a deep breath and his anger gradually subsided. He sighed and took out something from his bosom. He waved his hand and said, "I knew you weren't a peaceful person. Come here."
Yu Shu walked over. Seeing that Qing Zheng handed her something, she stretched out her hand to take it. The next moment, there was a black ring in her palm. It wasn't jade, but some kind of metal.
"I spent a lot of money to get this thing for you. Wear it. Don't take it off unless your hand is broken."
Yu Shu measured it on her fingers. In the end, she could only put it on her left index finger. Because of Zhao Hui's matter, she didn't feel the joy of receiving a gift. She subconsciously asked, "What is this?"
Qing Zheng said snappily, "I told you to wear it, so wear it. Why ask so much?"
Yu Shu touched her finger and put it down. "Master, you just said that I got into trouble by saving Aunt Huei. What do you mean by that? Will I have some retribution? "
Qing Zheng sneered, "Now you know that there will be retribution?"
Yu Shu turned her face away. "If you don't want to say it, then forget it. Anyway, I saved her."
"…" Seeing that she didn't repent, Qing Zheng didn't have the strength to get angry. He wiped his face and said tiredly, "Fine, fine. I'm afraid I owed you in my previous life. This time, I'll help you resolve it. If you do such a thing again in the future, I'll let you suffer. Don't blame me for not warning you."
Yu Shu knew when to stop. Seeing that he softened his tone, she didn't want to be in a deadlock with him. She turned her head and smiled at him. She squatted beside him and pulled his sleeve. "Master, you came back three days late. I miss you very much. I've been looking forward to your return every day. I'll come to see you at night. I'll bring you some good wine and food. How about it?" She still needed his help with something. She had to make the old man happy first.
Qing Zheng still didn't know that it was a sugar-coated bullet. He snorted twice, and his face became better. He waved his hand and said, "I'll wait for a while. You can come back at night."
"Then master, go back to the house and sleep. It's windy outside. Don't catch a cold again."
"I'm not that weak." Although he said that, Qing Zheng still sat up with Yu Shu's help. He went into the house, got on the bamboo bed, and covered himself with a clean quilt. He sniffed the house. There was no smell of dust at all. He turned over with satisfaction and went to meet his friends.
At night, the master and disciple sat in the courtyard and drank wine. It was the master who drank wine, and the disciple who obediently poured wine and took food.
After two cups of warm wine, Qing Zheng felt comfortable. He pointed to the sky and said to Yu Shu, "Do you see that? The small star in the upper left corner of the big star is called Wangzi. If you can see it, there are no clouds around it. In other words, there is a family nearby that is about to give birth."
Yu Shu didn't bring her notebook today, so she listened to every word. She poured wine and asked casually, "Master, I still remember you told me about the Nine Luminaries. Among them, Ketu and Rahu are the two most dangerous. If someone's destiny offends Ketu Star, wouldn't it be very dangerous?"
"Dangerous, of course it's dangerous." Qing Zheng waved his hand without thinking. "Destiny Ketu only appears in the last year of sixty years. There are not many people like this. There are one or two, but they die early and don't live past one year."
Yu Shu was secretly shocked. Jing Chen seemed to be eighteen years old.
"If there is such a person who survives and grows up, what should we do?"
Qing Zheng thought about it, and his expression changed. He said, "If there is really a destiny, when one offends these two stars, when he grows up, he will definitely harm one side, unless —"
"Unless what?" Yu Shu suddenly sat up straight and went forward to grab Qing Zheng's hand.
Qing Zheng changed the topic at this critical moment. He squinted at her and said, "Why do you ask?"
Yu Shu hesitated for a moment, then said honestly, "I know such a person. He said that his destiny is to offend Ketu, and anyone who has anything to do with him —"
"What?" Qing Zheng's expression changed slightly. After listening to the first half of Yu Shu's sentence, he interrupted her, "Who is that person? Have I seen him before? Where did you know him?"
"Uh … It's a friend. He is also a Taoist. He came down from Mount Longhu. Master, you haven't seen him before. Oh, yes, he also gave me a stone called Huang Shuang. No, it's called Block Adversity Stone."
If Qing Zheng still had some doubts about whether what that person said to Yu Shu was true or not, now after listening to her description, he believed it. He immediately pulled a long face and stared at her fiercely, "You stinky girl, why are there these troublesome things around me all day long? You can't let me have a good day."
Yu Shu also knew that she was unlucky. She simply shut up and didn't argue with him. She simply shut up and didn't argue with him.
Qing Zheng stretched out his hand and said, "What about the Block Adversity Stone?"
Yu Shu spread out her hand and said, "I lost it."
Qing Zheng, "…"
Yu Shu lowered her head and counted the ants.
After calming down, Qing Zheng frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "You listen to your master. Don't associate with that person in the future. He is a person from Mount Longhu and has the Block Adversity Stone. There should be someone who used a great ability to help him suppress his luck all these years. Now that he has entered the world, it's probably because his fate has come to an end. If he can't find the person who broke his fate, not only he won't live, but those who helped him to change his fate will also die. "
Yu Shu's heart thumped, "What does master mean by this? What is the person who broke his fate? If he can't find that person, he will die?"
Qing Zheng said leisurely, "Do you think you don't need to pay a price to live these years? In the vast sea of people, to find the person who broke his fate is like looking for a needle in the sea. Nine out of ten people will die and one person will live. How many times have I told you that you can avoid fortune and disaster, but you can't escape life and death. Fate turns …"
He nagged for a long time. Seeing that Yu Shu was in a daze, he knew that she didn't hear him. He stretched out his hand and patted her head hard. He said in a deep voice, "You have to remember what I said. Don't associate with this person again. You have a great …" Qing Zheng puckered his lips and quickly changed his words, "A person with a great future. Moreover, you can't help him. Don't think that he doesn't cause you much trouble now. That's because he has just entered the world, and his luck is still suppressed. After a long time, you will be unlucky if you get close to him. Do you remember?"
Yu Shu came back to her senses and nodded obediently, "I remember."
Qing Zheng originally wanted to persuade her with a lot of words. Seeing that she was so obedient, he couldn't help but feel a little strange. He was worried and confirmed, "Do you really remember?"
Yu Shu blinked her eyes and said, "I really remember."
"Hmph, it's good that you remember."
