C602 Fortune Telling
Zhang Mengmeng understood what Wu Xu was thinking. Seeing the sincerity of the young woman in front of her, she answered on his behalf, "His name is Wu Xu. His phone number is..."
Wu Xu saw Zhang Mengmeng answer for him and did not have the nerve to stop her. The young woman took out her phone and saved Wu Xu's phone number. She immediately followed the send button.
Ring, ring, ring!
A pleasant ringtone sounded from Wu Xu's pocket.
Wu Xu took out his phone and saw an unknown number on it. He asked the woman, "This number is yours, right?"
"Yes." The young woman nodded and said, "My name is Liu Junyao. This is my son, Xu Tao. If you encounter any trouble in Rongcheng in the future, you can call me. I might be able to help you."
"Thank you!"
Wu Xu saw the sincere look on Liu Junyao's face, so he saved her name and phone number.
"The one who said thank you should be me." Liu Junyao looked at Zhang Mengmeng and said to Wu Xu, "Your girlfriend is so beautiful. I can see that she cares about you very much. You have to treat her well and wish you happiness!"
Zhang Mengmeng was embarrassed by Liu Junyao's words and her face immediately turned red. She did not know how to reply.
"Big sister, thank you for your auspicious words!" Wu Xu smiled gratefully at Liu Junyao. Suddenly, he saw the little boy beside her had a dull look in his eyes. His body was still a little stiff. He knew that the little guy had not completely woken up from the dangerous scene just now. He patiently explained, "Little friend, you are fine now. Don't take what just happened to heart. In the future, when your mother comes out to play, just don't run around everywhere! "
"Thank you!" Xu Tao put on a very serious look and asked, "Big brother, are you also from Rongcheng City?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Wu Xu asked playfully.
"Nothing." The little boy shook his head and showed a gratified smile. He said, "When I go back, I will write down your heroic deeds and call everyone to learn from you, the great hero who sacrificed himself to save others."
Looking at the little boy's innocent face, Wu Xu remembered how he looked when he was hanging on a tree and shouting for help. He secretly laughed in his heart.
So, he used his hand to scratch his nose and said, "I am not a great hero. You just need to go back and listen to your mother and study well. Don't be so naughty anymore."
After saying that, Wu Xu held Zhang Mengmeng's hand and turned around to leave.
The tourists who were watching from the side watched the two of them leave and started to discuss. Each of them gave a thumbs up and praised Wu Xu's action of sacrificing himself to save people.
Zhang Mengmeng was not the same. She always thought that Wu Xu was taking a risk and joking with her life.
When she left with Wu Xu, she said to Wu Xu in all seriousness, "Xu, you don't need to risk your life to save people in the future. Do you know how dangerous you were just now?"
"So you are very concerned about me?" Wu Xu asked half-jokingly.
"I hate it." Zhang Mengmeng pouted and rolled her eyes at Wu Xu. She then stuck out her tongue and said, "I don't care about you. Who do I care about?"
"Hehe." Wu Xu smiled evilly and said, "Our Mengmeng has grown up. She knows how to care and care about people!"
"Who's your Mengmeng?" Zhang Mengmeng blushed and immediately let go of Wu Xu's hand. She ran straight towards the Cloud Mountain temple located at the peak of the mountain.
Wu Xu was afraid that something would happen to her, so he followed closely behind her.
Yun Duo Temple was one of the Buddhist monasteries with a long history, a large scale, complete structure, and a quiet environment.
Its buildings were made of wood and stone, and were mainly made up of one pagoda, five palaces, and sixteen courtyards. They were surrounded by walls and green trees. On the central axis, the words' Fortune 'were written on the walls, the Mountain Gate Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, the Relic Pagoda, the Seven Buddha Hall, the Scripture Tower, and the Purple Cloud Mountain.
There were bell towers and drum towers on both sides. The Guest Hall, the Drifting Cloud Hall, the Ramadan Hall, the Discipline Hall, the Arhat Hall, and the Zen Hall. The east and west sides were symmetrical, displaying the overall appearance of the Buddhist Zen Hall in China.
Not long after, the two of them walked into the Yundo Temple one after the other.
The temple was surrounded by smoke and fog. There was an endless stream of people coming here to burn incense, pray to Buddha, and play.
In the temple, there were a few women dressed in nun attire. They stood in front of a Buddha statue in the main hall. Those who entered the incense and pray to Buddha knelt on a cushion in the garden. Each of them joined their palms together and prayed devoutly.
After Wu Xu and Zhang Mengmeng finished praying according to the appearance of the others, they burned three incense sticks and two candles respectively and followed the others to an empty courtyard in the backyard.
An old man with white hair and silver hair sat on a wooden stool in front of a table, patiently "looking at the hands" and "fortune-telling" of these people.
Zhang Mengmeng held Wu Xu's hand and said with some interest, "Xu, let's line up and take a look. This old grandpa's fortune-telling is not accurate!"
"Forget it. Let's not join in the fun." Wu Xu shook his head.
"No, I want it!" Zhang Mengmeng asked stubbornly.
"Then... Alright!" Wu Xu saw that he could not convince this strange elf girl, so he reluctantly agreed. He stood behind the crowd with Zhang Mengmeng and lined up.
However, what surprised Wu Xu was that all the people in the line let the old man finish reading their hand signs and calculating their lives, and then they all left with satisfied expressions.
"Could it be that this old man can really read fortunes and exorcise evil?" While Wu Xu was thinking, he and Zhang Mengmeng had already lined up in front of the old man.
The old man looked at the two of them and asked, "Which one of you will take a look first?"
"Him!" Zhang Mengmeng pouted at Wu Xu and said, "Grandpa, can you help my friend take a look first? How is his career and marriage?"
"Okay." The old man nodded and immediately let Wu Xu sit on a wooden stool.
Then he picked up Wu Xu's hand and carefully looked at it for a while. He said, "From the looks of your hand and face, you are very honest. You have a sense of justice. You are a more objective and rational man, but you are a little weak. It is because of your weak personality that this unfortunate marriage was created. But with the help of a benefactor, you finally obtained your own happiness and marriage. And... He created his own brilliant career.
"What I need to remind you is, when you have some achievements, this way, you will attract the jealousy of others. When people see a knife in a knife, they should always be humble. Be careful and keep a low profile. Know your place and enjoy yourself. Only then will you be able to obtain true wealth... "
"However, your path in love and your career is not smooth. You will encounter a lot of resistance, and you might even encounter a bloody disaster..."
Wu Xu asked anxiously, "Can the bloody calamity you mentioned be resolved?"
"Of course," the old man said deliberately. "Because you have a benefactor by your side. Every time you encounter danger, you can turn bad luck into good luck..."
The old man's words had completely touched Wu Xu's heart, making Wu Xu admire him greatly.
After Zhang Mengmeng heard it, she was also very surprised. She immediately took out a stack of cash from her handbag and stuffed it into the old man's hands. Then she held Wu Xu's hand and left in a hurry.
Wu Xu asked in confusion, "Mengmeng, this old man's fortune-telling is quite accurate. Why didn't you ask him to help you with your fortune-telling?"
Zhang Mengmeng smiled and said, "Our lives are linked. If I let the old man read my fortune again, then it would be uncertain!"
