Guan Liya picked up the lot pot in front of her and shook a lot for Qi Chenglin's marriage. It was a good lot. Guan Liya changed the lot according to the corresponding lot. Even if she didn't find a monk to interpret the lot, she could read it herself.
The gist of it was that the fated one was already by his side, and if he grasped it well, he would be happy for the rest of his life.
Song Yu looked at her belly. She did not expect the child to have a bright future. In fact, it was difficult for the child to not have a bright future since he was born in the Qi family. Aside from this, she only hoped that the child could be born smoothly and grow up healthily and happily.
Therefore, Song Yu also picked up the pot and shook his lot. The lot fell to the ground. Song Yu picked it up, but he didn't expect it to be a bad lot.
Song Yu's hand trembled, and his heart sank. Although she was not superstitious, and although she respected the Buddha Guanyin, she was not a particularly devout believer. However, it was impossible to say that he didn't feel a little uncomfortable when he drew such a lot. In fact, he was quite bothered by it.
"What's wrong? What did you draw? "the old lady asked curiously.
Guan Liya was also happy because she had drawn a good lot for Qi Chenglin. She thought that Song Yu would also draw a good lot if there were no accidents.
Song Yu's face was a little pale. Qi Chengzhi saw that something was wrong, so he took the stick from her hand. When he saw it, he raised his eyebrows.
He glanced at it and threw it away. He helped Song Yu up. "It's just a matter of luck. You don't have to worry about scams. If it's really that effective, people would come here every day to ask for it."
Song Yu did not speak. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood.
"Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense in front of Bodhisattva." The old lady was afraid that Qi Chengzhi's disrespectful words would anger Bodhisattva.
The old lady had been very devout all her life. She had faith in her heart and always had kindness in her heart. She had lived a steady life.
She picked up the stick that Qi Chengzhi had thrown away. When she saw the middle and bottom of the stick, her heart sank. She looked at Song Yu worriedly.
Song Yu's face turned even paler after being stared at by the old lady.
"Song Yu, what do you want?" the old lady asked.
Song Yu's lips trembled. He said weakly, "What I want is for Chengzhi and the child to be healthy and safe."
The old lady was shocked. This was a big deal. She quickly went to get the signature and changed it. This time, the lot was very profound, and the old lady couldn't understand it. She pulled Song Yu's hand away from Qi Chengzhi's and pulled Song Yu to the monk at the door.
The monk looked at him and asked, "What do you want?"
"I hope that my husband and the child in my womb are healthy and safe," Song Yu said as he swallowed nervously.
The monk looked at the lot, his expression still calm. "According to the lot, there will be a tribulation soon. Because the child is still in your belly, you are closely related to the child, so the tribulation will either be fulfilled by your husband or you."
"This … Master, will it be dangerous?" the old lady asked nervously.
"It's hard to say. Perhaps we'll be able to get through it and avert the danger, or perhaps —" The monk shook his head and didn't finish his sentence.
"This … What should we do?" The old lady's face turned white.
Originally, he was quite happy today. He came to offer incense and make a vow. It was just to pray for the health of his family. It was not something to be greedy about. How did he end up with such a calamity?
"Well, you can go to the front and ask for two amulets. My uncle will consecrate the amulets and let this lady and her husband wear them. Although they can't guarantee their safety, they can ward off some tribulations and avert the danger," the monk said with his palms pressed together.
"After saying so much, you finally got to the point. You can make a lot of money just by selling these props every day, "Qi Chengzhi said mockingly as he curled his lips and appeared behind Song Yu at some point in time.
"Chengzhi, what are you talking about!" The old lady immediately scolded, for fear that Qi Chengzhi's disrespectful words would annoy the Bodhisattva and Buddha. They had to be more devout when they entered the temple. She didn't know what was wrong with the men in their family. They didn't care about these things. From the old man to Qi Chengji, none of them believed. They were not devout at all.
It was fine if they didn't believe, but they even talked nonsense in the temple. The old lady was afraid that they would influence Qi Youxuan.
"You're just a businessman. You're so secular," the old lady said angrily. She quickly turned around and apologized to the monk. "Master, I'm sorry. My grandson doesn't know anything."
The monk still put his palms together and didn't get angry. "Amitabha. If you believe it, it will happen. If you don't, it won't. Perhaps my words have caused this lady to misunderstand."
The old lady also quickly put her palms together. She pulled Song Yu with one hand and Qi Chengzhi with the other. "Let's go and ask for an amulet."
Qi Chengzhi didn't believe in this. He looked reluctant and didn't want to go.
Song Yu secretly tugged at Qi Chengzhi. "I'm really disgusted that I got a mediocre lot. Whether it works or not, it's good to ask for an amulet for psychological comfort. Otherwise, I'll feel bad if I keep thinking about it. "
Qi Chengzhi saw that Song Yu's face was a little pale and worried. He felt sorry for her and nodded to comfort her.
The old lady thought that Qi Chengzhi really doted on his wife. He didn't want Song Yu to feel bad. Not to mention entering the temple, people who didn't have Buddha in their hearts usually endured it for Song Yu's sake. Was this the benefit of an old man with a young wife?
The old lady took the two of them to ask for an amulet and asked the master to bless it. She quickly asked them to wear it. "It's best if you're fine. But what if something happens? Wear it to keep you safe. "
"…" Qi Chengzhi pinched the amulet, looking quite disgusted.
"Wear it, at least until the child is born." As Song Yu spoke, she took the amulet from Qi Chengzhi's hand and stuffed it into his collar. She patted his shirt and felt the amulet pressed against his chest. Only then did she feel at ease. "I don't know if it's because I drew that lot, but I don't feel at ease. It's good to wear it as a psychological comfort. "
Song Yu also put on her amulet and stuffed it into her collar. She patted the amulet under her clothes and exhaled. "Like Grandma said, it's best if you're fine."
Qi Chengzhi didn't believe in such things at all, so he didn't care at all. He held Song Yu's hand. "Don't come next time. Aren't you just making trouble for yourself?"
The old lady also felt a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she would have brought Xia Wenna and Guan Liya. Look at what happened. It was so unpleasant.
"Who said that? It's a reminder to be more vigilant. There's no harm in being more careful," Song Yu said. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she did feel better after wearing the amulet.
The old man and the others were waiting outside. The old lady brought Qi Chengzhi and Song Yu out. Xia Wenna hurriedly asked, "How was it?"
"It came," the old lady said. "Song girl, you really have to be more careful when you go out in the future."
Song Yu nodded. This was a psychological effect. Don't scare yourself.
Because of such an incident, the old lady wasn't in a good mood. When everyone was ready to leave, the old lady suddenly remembered something. She asked Xia Wenna for a few more incense sticks. "You guys wait here. I'll be back in a while."
The old lady returned to the hall. She knelt on the praying mat and prayed devoutly. "Bodhisattva, oh Bodhisattva. If my eldest grandson Qi Chengzhi, eldest granddaughter-in-law Song Yu, and their son Qi Youjin are all safe, I'll definitely come and give alms for three days. Please bless them all to be safe. "
The old lady lit the incense sticks and bowed to the Bodhisattva. Only then did she return to the old house with everyone else.
…
…
When they returned home at night, Song Yu didn't take off the amulet even when he took a shower. When he came out of the bathroom, he saw Qi Chengzhi sitting on the bed, holding his amulet in his hand and examining it.
"Why did you take it off again?" Song Yu sat over and snatched the amulet from his hand. He put it back on his neck. "Wear it properly. Don't take it off or show it outside. Grandma said that people can't casually touch things that have been blessed. I know you don't believe it, but it's better to believe it. Just take it as giving me peace of mind, okay? "
Qi Chengzhi didn't refute. He obediently hung up the amulet and held Song Yu in his arms. He lowered his head and carefully observed her expression. She had just taken a shower, so her face would be a little red from the hot water. But at this moment, she still didn't look very good.
"What's going on? Did something happen to make you so nervous? " Qi Chengzhi gently pressed his palm against her cheek and covered her face. Slowly, Song Yu's complexion seemed to improve, and her expression became more stable.
When she shook her head, her cheek was still rubbing against his warm and dry palm. "Maybe it's because I'm pregnant. I'm a little nervous. Let me check on the Internet. Are pregnant people especially sensitive?"
The corners of Qi Chengzhi's mouth gently curled up and he kissed her forehead.
…
…
On Monday, Qi Chengzhi went to work. Song Yu walked him to the door and waited for him to put on his shoes. She said, "I'm going back to Mom's house today. I'll ask if they will attend Grandma's birthday party. If they don't, I'll have time to persuade them."
Qi Chengzhi nodded. "Then tell Chang Lai to come."
"No, I'll tell Xiao Fan. Grandma is also very worried about what happened at the temple on Saturday. She told me to call Xiao Fan when I go out. You can let Chang Lai follow you at the company. Otherwise, it'll be inconvenient for you. "Song Yu handed him her bag.
Qi Chengzhi nodded. "Then call me when you get to Mom's house."
"Okay." Song Yu stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips. "Drive carefully. Be careful."
He knew that she was still worried about the matter at the temple. She probably didn't let Chang Lai see her off because she was worried about his safety. He nodded.
After Qi Chengzhi left, Song Yu called Xiao Fan and waited for him to come.
When Xiao Fan arrived, he called Song Yu to go out.
"I'm so sorry to trouble you these days." Song Yu got into the car and said embarrassedly.
"It's nothing. The old man and the old lady rarely use the car. It's not right to pay me for nothing and let me idle in the old house." Xiao Fan smiled.
She didn't know what was going on today. There were many cars parked in the yard. Xiao Fan drove to the Song house but couldn't find a place to park.
"Ma 'am, I'll drop you off downstairs and find a place to park," Xiao Fan said.
"Okay." Song Yu nodded. Xiao Fan drove the car back to the Song house and let Song Yu get out.
Because there were already cars parked by the road, there was only room for one car to pass. Xiao Fan could only block the road for the time being. She watched Song Yu enter the unit and then drove to find a place to park.
As Song Yu went up the stairs, she took out her phone to call Qi Chengzhi to tell him that she had arrived. She rarely made phone calls. She only talked to Qi Chengzhi frequently. Qi Chengzhi's name was the first in her call history.
Just as she was about to call him, a gloved hand suddenly appeared in front of her. Song Yu was shocked and her reaction couldn't help but slow by half a beat. It was this half a beat that made her watch helplessly as the hand snatched her phone away.
Song Yu thought she was being robbed. Just as she was about to raise her head, she saw that her phone had been ruthlessly thrown down the stairs.
The phone bounced off the stairs. The screen was broken, and the phone case was bent out of shape. The phone automatically shut down after being smashed.
Song Yu's face was pale. She raised her head in panic and saw the man in front of her. He was 1.8 meters tall, thin and tall. He wore a baseball cap and a mask. He looked exactly like the man she had seen in the car that day.
Song Yu opened her mouth to scream without thinking, but her mouth was blocked by the man's hand. A pungent, rotten smell from the glove was forced into her nose. Song Yu's eyes widened as she struggled. Her eyes were red, and she was so scared that tears came out.
She raised her hand to struggle and grab the mask from the man's face, but she was locked in the man's arms. Her back was stuck to his sweaty T-shirt. She felt that her hands were getting weaker and weaker. She wanted to pull his hand off her mouth, but she couldn't do it.
The man began to drag her down the stairs. Song Yu struggled to grab the dusty handrail, but she felt that her consciousness was getting blurred. She wanted to grab the handrail, but she couldn't exert any strength.
Finally, slowly, her fingers unconsciously loosened and she closed her eyes. Only the tears that flowed out wet the man's glove.
…
…
Qi Chengzhi arrived at the company. The morning meeting was over, but he didn't receive a call from Song Yu to tell him that she was safe. He didn't know when she would leave, so he couldn't estimate when she would arrive. Qi Chengzhi called Song Yu, but her phone was turned off.
He frowned and called home again. Auntie Yang answered the phone.
"Song Yu hasn't left yet?" Qi Chengzhi returned to the office and asked after closing the door.
"Yes. She left two hours ago. She should be at the Song family's house by now," Aunt Yang said.
Qi Chengzhi's heart suddenly jumped. He wasn't in the mood to talk anymore, so he hung up and found Xiao Fan's number to call.
Xiao Fan was sitting in the car, enjoying the air-conditioning and surfing the Internet on his phone. He received Qi Chengzhi's call and heard Qi Chengzhi ask, "Where are you now?"
"In the Song family's neighborhood," Xiao Fan said strangely. "Madam is home. I'm waiting for her in the car."
"She's already here?" Qi Chengzhi narrowed his eyes, and his voice became nervous. He sounded especially strict.
Xiao Fan was shocked and said nervously, "Yes, she arrived a long time ago. I saw Madam enter the building with my own eyes."
Qi Chengzhi frowned. "When did she arrive?"
"It's been an hour," Xiao Fan said. He was getting more and more nervous because of Qi Chengzhi's tone. "Young Master Cheng, what's wrong?"
Qi Chengzhi didn't answer. He hung up and dialed the Song family's landline. At this moment, he didn't care if Song Yu's parents were willing to talk to him.
Song Yu never broke his promises, especially when he knew that Qi Chengzhi would be worried. He always reported his whereabouts. Before he left today, he had already instructed her to give him a call when she got home. She would never forget.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly thought of the stick Song Yu got on Saturday. A bad feeling seized him. Qi Chengzhi's heart couldn't help but beat faster. He was so nervous that his fingers trembled.
He finally found the Song family's phone number and dialed it. Not long after, it was picked up and he heard Yu Qianying say, "Hello."
"Mom, it's me." Qi Chengzhi's voice was still steady.
But then he didn't hear any reply. He took the phone from his ear and looked at it. She had already hung up.
Qi Chengzhi could only continue to call. When the phone got through again, he was afraid that Yu Qianying would hang up again, so he could only say quickly, "Mom, don't hang up. I just want to ask if Song Yu is home."
Yu Qianying originally wanted to scold Qi Chengzhi and hang up, but she suddenly stopped. She frowned and asked, "No, what's wrong?"
"She hasn't been home?" Qi Chengzhi's fingers tightened on the phone and he asked again.
"Didn't I say no? She didn't say she was coming home today, "Yu Qianying said impatiently. She suddenly became anxious." What's going on? What happened to Song Yu? Did you two quarrel? Qi Chengzhi, did you bully her? How could you bully her? She had a falling out with us because of you. If you mistreat her, are you still a human? "
"No, we didn't quarrel. I went to work this morning, and before I left, she said she wanted to come see you. It was Xiao Fan, the chauffeur of the mansion, who sent her here. He said she arrived an hour ago. Xiao Fan saw her enter the building with his own eyes, but she hasn't come in yet. " Qi Chengzhi was also anxious. He was always calm, but now his mellow voice was filled with worry. This made Yu Qianying even more flustered. "She promised me that she would call me when she arrived home to tell me that she was safe, but she hasn't called me. I called her cell phone, but it was turned off. I called home, and Auntie Yang said she had been gone for more than two hours. I asked Xiao Fan, and he said she arrived an hour ago. Mom, have you been at home all this time? Could it be that Song Yu came when you weren't home, but she couldn't get in, so she went out? "
"We've been at home all this time. We haven't gone out." Yu Qianying was also anxious. Her eyes were red, and she couldn't care less about angering Qi Chengzhi. "This child, I told her that I was going to see her. Why is she running around with a big belly?!"
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Yu Qianying immediately felt hopeful. "Someone is ringing the doorbell. It could be Song Yu!"
Qi Chengzhi didn't have much hope. Song Donglin went to open the door, but he didn't expect it to be the driver, Xiao Fan. He was holding a cell phone with a broken screen.
"Xiao Fan, why is it you? Where's Song Yu?" Yu Qianying walked over with the cordless phone. Seeing that it was Xiao Fan, and there was no sign of Song Yu, the hope that had been raised was immediately extinguished. Her heart couldn't help but sink.
Qi Chengzhi heard her on the other end of the phone and immediately said, "Mom, let me talk to Xiao Fan."
At a time like this, Yu Qianying didn't want to argue with Qi Chengzhi. She handed the phone to Xiao Fan and said, "It's Qi Chengzhi."
"Young Master Cheng, I found Madam's cell phone on the stairs. The screen was broken, and the phone was turned off, so I couldn't get through." Xiao Fan was also anxious. If something happened to Song Yu, he really couldn't shirk the responsibility.
Madam Dowager wanted him to take good care of Song Yu, but after a few tries, she lost him.
The cell phone was broken like this. There must have been an accident.
