Li Rui's understanding of incense was limited to this. He didn't know anything more than that and didn't believe her. He smiled and said, "Are you stupid? You've been waiting here since this afternoon and you haven't eaten yet. You just want to spend money to listen to her nonsense? "
Chen Chen was unhappy when she heard that. She raised her eyebrows and said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who said she was fooling? She was very accurate. Let me tell you, this Granny Hu is the most famous Xiang Xiang 'er in our Qingyang City. She is the reincarnation of a fox spirit. She can ask the fox deity to possess her and know the past and the future. What do you know?
Li Rui was amused. When he was about to say something, Chen Chen suddenly thought of something and grabbed him. She said excitedly, "Since you're at the door and there's no one else inside, I'll take you in to have a look at your recent fortune. Then you won't come here in vain." After that, she pulled him into the yard.
Li Rui didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh. He said, "How can this be suitable for the occasion?! I don't believe in this. What do you want me to see? "
Chen Chen said stubbornly, "You don't believe it because you haven't seen it. If you see it, you'll believe it. Let's go."
Li Rui wanted to get rid of her, but seeing that the beauty was wholeheartedly looking out for him, he couldn't disobey her. He let her pull him in and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to see the incense?"
Chen Chen sighed and said, "Oh, don't mention it. I was on duty last night. I had enough sleep during the day and shouldn't be sleepy at night. But I dozed off at the critical moment. I was about to change the line and forgot about it. I almost delayed the whole line. Fortunately, my colleague woke me up, or I would have been finished. After this, I felt very unlucky. My mother asked me to come and have a look at Grandma Hu. Grandma Hu showed me just now. I didn't say anything to her, but she said that I was unlucky recently and was possessed by an evil spirit. Do you think she's a god? "
Li Rui laughed when he heard that and said, "You deserve to be cheated. Think about it. If people live well and nothing happens, who will come to see the incense? In other words, those who came to see the incense must have encountered something bad. That witch has grasped this point and is able to deceive fools like you every time. "
Chen Chen curled her lips and stared at him disdainfully, saying, "You're the only one who can do that? Why don't you open a door to see the fragrance?"
Li Ruixin said, "What are you talking about? Women are really good at acting shamelessly."
The courtyard was brightly lit by a large lamp, so that one could clearly see the scenery in the courtyard. There were five main rooms on the north side, and a side room on the east and west side. Flowers and trees were planted all around, making it look very elegant. In the west corner of the north room, there was an iron cage. Inside it was a large German Wolfhound. The German Shepherd was lying lazily inside with its tongue hanging out. When it saw Li Rui and Chen Chen walk in, it did not even bark. It was obviously used to seeing strangers. This also seemed to indicate that business here was good.
Chen Chen was right. The business here was really good. It was already past ten o 'clock at night, but there was still one person waiting in the living room of the main room. It was an old lady in her sixties, who was dressed fashionably. When she saw the two coming, she just glanced at them and then looked at the door of a room diagonally opposite.
Chen Chen pointed at the door and whispered to Li Rui, "Just look at it from there."
Li Rui said, "Oh." He had already smelled the thick smoke of burning incense in the air. It was fine to smell it for a while, but after a while, he felt a little uncomfortable. He just wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible, so he asked, "Did you take a taxi here?"
Chen Chen shook her head and said, "No, I drove here."
"Then let's go. I'm sleepy."
Chen Chen became anxious and said, "How can you do that? Since I brought you here, you should take a good look at the incense. I'll pay for it. "
Li Rui just realized that it cost money to look at the incense, so he asked again, "How much is it per visit?"
Chen Chen glanced at the old lady and whispered, "Grandma Hu said that you can pay as much as you want. But those who come here to look at the incense are all attracted by the incense. She didn't give too little. She gave 500 for the most and 300 for the least. I just gave 300 for the most. "
Li Rui said, "Well, 300 is not a small amount. You can think of it as topping up your IQ."
Chen Chen was angry and amused at the same time. She raised her hand and pinched him.
They waited for about half an hour. It was almost 11 o 'clock. Finally, the old lady finished looking at the incense and came out. Chen Chen hurriedly pulled Li Rui into the room.
There was a red curtain hanging on the door. After walking in, Li Rui found that the windows in the room were also tightly covered with thick red curtains. No light could come in at all. There were no lights in the room. There were only two candles. The light was very dim, which gave people a feeling of darkness and eeriness.
There was a cattail hassock on the floor in the room. A woman in her sixties was sitting on it. She was average-looking and had short gray hair. At the moment, her eyes were closed and her hands were naturally placed on her knees. She was silent and motionless, which made her look like an immortal.
"Sit!"
Li Rui was looking at Grandma Hu up and down. Grandma Hu said one word.
Li Rui fixed his eyes on her and found a red cattail hassock on the floor opposite her. He guessed that it was for the guests. He didn't refuse and walked over to sit on it.
Grandma Hu opened her eyes and looked at him and then at Chen Chen. She asked her curiously, "Why did you come back?"
Chen Chen pointed at Li Rui and said, "I brought him here to look at the incense."
Grandma Hu didn't say anything else but said, "Then you can go out first. I'm here to look at the incense. Outsiders can't be here. "
Chen Chen was stunned and said, "Me? I'm not an outsider. He and I are … He's my boyfriend! "
Li Rui couldn't help laughing and turned to look at her. But Chen Chen didn't look at him at all. She just looked at Grandma Hu seriously.
Grandma Hu didn't want to talk nonsense with her. She turned to Li Rui and said, "You don't have to say anything. I'll burn three incense sticks for you first."
Li Ruixin sneered secretly. He thought that even if she didn't say that, he wouldn't tell her about the so-called bad luck. He was here to catch her, a liar. He wanted to see what she could find out. He just said, "Hmm."
Grandma Hu stood up and walked to an offering table in the north. She picked up three yellow cedar-shell incense sticks from her left hand. They were two feet long and looked very strong. She put the three incense sticks in her left palm and pressed them gently with her left thumb. The three incense sticks didn't touch each other. Then she lit a fire with her right hand and put the three incense sticks into the censer. The incense sticks were straight and square, which looked pretty.
Seeing this, Chen Chen seemed to be a little nervous. She walked to Li Rui and put her hand on his shoulder. Both of them stared at the three incense sticks with their four eyes. They didn't know what Grandma Hu could find out from the three incense sticks.
"Ah …"
Grandma Hu suddenly screamed. Li Rui was so scared that he almost fell down from the rush cushion. Chen Chen was also so scared that she shivered.
Li Rui was so angry that his nose was crooked. He thought, "If you have something to say, say it. If you have something to say, say it. Why are you so scared? Don't you think the atmosphere in the room is not scary enough?"
"Honorable guest, it's not good!"
Grandma Hu screamed and added half a sentence. Then she repeated it again, "It's not good!" Her tone was even more serious and horrible.
Li Rui had to admit that at this moment, he was almost affected by the tense atmosphere that she deliberately created. He asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Grandma Hu said seriously, "You shouldn't have … offended the third son of the Thunder God and Lightning God! Alas! "
Li Rui almost burst out laughing when he heard this. Well, she didn't say anything serious at all. She immediately brought up the topic of immortals. Did she think that he was a three-year-old kid who could be easily fooled? He tried hard to hold back his laughter and asked, "The third son of the Thunder God and Lightning God? Which immortal? "
Grandma Hu said seriously, "It's the Thunder Commander in charge of the east. He's responsible for the thunder in the east."
Li Rui asked again, "When did I offend him?"
Grandma Hu said, "You should ask yourself this. When did you offend him? Don't you know?"
Li Rui said, "I don't know. He's an immortal in the sky. I'm just a mortal on the ground. How can I offend him? I want to offend him, but I can't. "
Grandma Hu said, "You've already offended him. Let me ask you, recently, has there been a disaster of thunder and fire in your family? Has your family met with a disaster in the east? "
Li Rui was full of disdain. He almost scolded her, "Nonsense". Just as he was about to shake his head and say no, the image of a two-story wooden building on fire suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Oh, how could I forget? A while ago, when I went to Wen Moshi's Fragrant Ink Garden, I suddenly encountered a ball of lightning. As soon as it appeared, it burned down Fragrant Ink Garden. Isn't that a disaster of thunder and fire? Although it didn't happen in my house, it's not that far off! Hiss … This Grandma Hu isn't a liar? She's like the great monk, Fa Yu. Can she really see something from burning incense? "
Li Rui was surprised and shocked. Soon, he remembered that Grandma Hu's second inference seemed to have happened to him. It was the kidnapping of Zixuan when he went abroad a few days ago. Although the United States was a western country, the earth was round. One could reach the United States from China all the way to the east. Therefore, it was not wrong to say that the United States was in the east of China. Wasn't this the so-called disaster of a family member in the east?
Chen Chen saw that he didn't speak and felt a little uncertain. She bent down and whispered in his ear, "How is it? Can you see it correctly?"
Li Rui opened his mouth and found that his mouth was a little dry. He calmed down and said yes. Then he asked Grandma Hu, "How did you see it?"
When he first entered the house, he had already defined this Grandma Hu as a swindler like the Witch Charlatan and despised her. However, when he heard her say those two conclusions, he felt a sense of awe in his heart. Therefore, he used the honorific "Sir" when he addressed her.
Grandma Hu didn't hide anything. She pointed at the three incense sticks and said, "Look, the head of the incense is dim. This is the main culprit. The smoke is green, white, yellow, and red. It's tiny and dense. It goes straight to the sky like a pagoda hanging in the air. This is the arrival of the gods.
