Spy Family

Chapter 38 Destiny

There was still no one in the store. Lu Linbei chose a high stool to sit down and re-observed the facilities in the store, trying to find any clues to prove that there was something wrong with the fortune teller.

He came back alone, while Mei Qianzhong and Lu Yezhou wanted to try another store.

He had never told fortunes before, and he basically couldn't recognize the purpose of the things in the store. He stared at a few small objects that seemed to be made of bones, wondering whether they were real imitations.

Judging from the appearance, most of the items in the store are old and not temporarily arranged.

Lu Linbei couldn't see the flaw.

After sitting there for at least fifteen minutes, Lu Linbei suddenly discovered that the female fortune teller was standing at the door leading to the inner room, observing him through the bead curtain for an unknown amount of time.

Lu Linbei stood up, Sorry, I didn't see you.

The female fortune teller opened the curtain and came out, sitting opposite Lu Linbei, pressing her two hands on the table. She had rings on all ten of her fingers, and some of them had more than one on them. Each one was different and the color was different. They are all different and have weird shapes. There are several silk threads tied around the wrists, and there are an unknown number of bracelets hidden by the sleeves.

Lu Linbei waited for a while before he realized that the other party was signaling him not to stand.

He sat down again, still speechless, so he secretly admired Lao Qian and Ye Zi in his heart. The two of them would never be silent in front of women. Even if they were explicitly rejected, they could exit gracefully or find another way. Continue to struggle.

The female fortune teller opened her palm and revealed two cards underneath. The one on the right showed a sword-wielding knight with blood on the sword, and the one on the left showed lightning and dark clouds.

The female fortune teller covered the cards with her palms again and said, I guess you will come back.

Guessed or calculated? Lu Linbei was very happy that the other party spoke first.

It's a guess. This kind of thing is not worth calculating.

That's right. An alarm rang in Lu Linbei's mind: the next round of silence is forming. You have to say something this time, even if it's nonsense.

Forgot to introduce me, my surname is Lu, my name is Lu Linbei, Lin from the forest, Bei from the north.

The female fortune teller nodded. She was dressed strangely and moved strangely. When she walked, her steps were small and slow. Under the cover of her long skirt, she seemed to be floating. When she nodded, she raised her head slightly and paused for a moment. Then she slowly took it back. In short, there was a mysterious energy all over her body.

Lu Linbei speculated that fortune tellers probably had this style.

The female fortune teller nodded, but did not introduce herself. Instead, she stared at the guests with cold eyes. Her eyes were large, and her eyelashes were a bit false, forming a protective layer with her long, fluffy hair.

You don't look like a rich person.

I had just lost my job and was staying at a friend's house, where I was the tallest one.

His fate is not good. There are dark clouds ahead.

The fate of all three of us will not be too good.

There are also levels of bad luck, some are bad to the end, and some are still getting better.

Where are the three of us?

The female fortune teller didn't answer, and her unblinking gaze made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Do you have to pay first? Lu Linbei finally came to his senses.

The female fortune teller nodded slowly in the same way.

How much?

The female fortune teller raised a finger.

One hundred? One thousand?

The female fortune teller tapped on the table and then raised three fingers.

Three people and three thousand? No, no, I'm the only one now, and those two don't want to know their fate.

The female fortune teller refused to change her mind, You come in together, I turn over four cards, including myself, one for each person. The wheel of fortune has already turned by then, and it will not stop because of your departure, nor will it So reduce my taxes.

You also have to pay taxes? But without transaction records, the tax agency won't collect taxes.

It's fate that wants to tax me. The female fortune teller's voice rose slightly, showing a hint of impatience. When I show my cards, I'm borrowing power from the God of Destiny. I have to pay a price for it, and the guests have to pay for it. I pay the price.

Lu Linbei laughed, The price is another matter. The God of Destiny is not so sure this time. Look, so far, I haven't fallen in love with you, and you haven't fallen in love with me, and you still want to collect my money.

The female fortune teller lowered her gaze and then raised it, sizing up the guest once, Are you really so poor?

I'll pay my own money, a thousand points.

The female fortune teller thought for a long time and said, Okay.

The two raised their hands and rubbed their earlobes, but the female fortune teller still moved slowly.

Chips in the body are connected to each other.

The red magpie knows fate? Lu Linbei wanted to confirm the transfer recipient, but he did not judge the name in his heart.

right.

A thousand points.

The female fortune teller once again showed the card in her left hand, which showed a lightning bolt in the dark clouds, You have had a rough life.

I'm prepared for this. Lu Linbei smiled.

More than half of the ups and downs are the choices you make.

Well, I have a habit of asking for trouble.

Soon, your destiny will bifurcate and take a completely different direction.

One is rough, and the other is even rougher?

A rare smile appeared on the face of the female fortune teller. It disappeared in an instant and returned to indifference and mystery. One path is bumpy but extraordinary, and the other is smooth and mediocre.

I think everyone faces this kind of 'split' when they are young.

The female fortune teller put away the cards and said, You don't believe it at all, why do you have to come back to pay?

I don't know, maybe... I'm sorry, please continue, I won't interrupt.

Gone.

I spent a thousand points, and this is what I heard? Lu Linbei didn't understand the market, but thought it wasn't worth it.

Your fate is entangled with those two people. Either they are together, but you only pay the money for one person, or you are only talking about one person, just like the ones just now.

Lu Linbei laughed and felt relieved. He was just an ordinary fortune teller. All the weird things he said were just to collect money. He did overreact and was scared away after just one sentence.

This is another deed that will be laughed at for many years. Lu Linbei stood up and said, Thank you. It is enough for me to understand the general direction of fate.

I won't send it.

Are you still convinced that the two of us will fall in love? Lu Linbei hoped that the thousand points would be worth at least something.

The female fortune teller showed the knight card in her right hand, I believe in fate, but fate is unpredictable. It may mean that we should love each other, but in reality we may miss each other. This is what the so-called 'fate tricks people' means.

You don't make any choices yourself?

Believing in fate is my choice. The female fortune teller seemed to think this question was silly.

She was playing tricks again. Lu Linbei decided to leave before she asked for money, so he walked out. At the door, he noticed a line of small words on the door and window, which read: Master Chen Manchi, like you, she is waiting for her fate. s arrangement.

Chen Manchi, is this your name? Lu Linbei rarely saw such an appropriate name.

Yeah. Even the most common response, the female fortune teller seemed lazy, as if she had to think carefully before deciding whether to answer.

Back by the river, the other two people had not yet appeared. Lu Linbei sat alone on the bench, staring at the passers-by in a daze.

Because it is close to the garbage island and there are no bars or other places, this street is relatively deserted. Lu Linbei sat sideways and looked at the island.

Zhai Jing was established in one of the most livable areas on the planet. It is not hot in summer and not cold in winter. The spring and autumn are especially refreshing, and even the wind becomes gentle. Even so, the smell of the island still drifts over, and it is not cold. It sneakily attacks the pedestrian's nasal cavity and runs away with one blow, like a disgusting begging monkey.

After sitting there for nearly an hour, Lu Linbei inhaled all kinds of smells, and they actually started to repeat themselves.

Mei Qianzhong and Lu Yezhou finally came back together, in high spirits, as if they had just returned from a bar.

Hey, Lao Bei, you've already come out, and we said we were going to pick you up. Mei Qianzhong sat on the bench and let out a sigh of relief.

Lu Yezhou didn't sit down and looked at Lu Linbei with a smile, as if he was hiding something good.

Yi Zi, what are you doing? Lu Linbei asked inexplicably.

Mei Qianzhong smiled and said, You silly boy has got a girlfriend.

Really? Lu Linbei was even more surprised.

Lu Yezhou laughed proudly, then sat down and said enthusiastically: I walked into a store, and the female fortune teller was young and beautiful. She showed me my palm and said, 'Your body temperature matches mine.' Haha, it turns out that the fortune here is Master really uses this kind of words to attract customers.

So you... confessed your love to her? Lu Linbei admired Lu Yezhou very much.

The smile on Lu Yezhou's face disappeared and he sighed, I spent all the 5,000 points in my account and calculated my fate until I was eighty years old. If the fingerprints on my hands were not long enough, she would have asked me for more money. Then I invited her out for a meal, what do you think she said?

Mei Qianzhong said: Let me tell you, I happened to go in at that time, and the female fortune teller said, 'Our body temperatures match, but our tastes don't match, so we can't eat together.' Haha, Ye Zi's face at that time...

No matter what his face was like at the time, Lu Yezhou only looked excited now, She was just watching outsiders come in, so I'm sorry.

Thank you for being so happy. Lu Linbei also found it funny.

Lu Yezhou didn't take it seriously, I'll come by myself tomorrow and you two can watch. I will definitely ask her out.

That beauty in the department was abandoned by you just like that? Lu Linbei joked, Are you going to inform her?

Lu Yezhou was once very interested in a female employee of the Emergency Department. He didn't blush when she was pointed out. Instead, he said: How do you say abandonment? I took it step by step and won it one by one.

Lu Linbei shook his head and said to Mei Qianzhong: She is not a spy.

you sure?

Well, I'm basically sure that she is the same. She says weird things to defraud guests of their money. If I ask her out, she will definitely be rejected.

What if? You didn't date her?

She's definitely going to say no.

Mei Qianzhong smiled and said nothing, and Lu Yezhou said: You have to give it a try before you can rest assured. The old man and I went to seven stores with 'Zhao Wangxing' written on them, and tried various methods to make sure that the other party was not hiding any hidden dangers. We also did some research and found out that the person who teased you is called Chen Manchi. She is originally from Uranus. It is said that she has traveled to all major planets and only came to our planet Zhai half a year ago. She is so young and not a famous person, but she can take on the responsibility Isn’t the cost of the spaceship suspicious?”

Mei Qianzhong said: Lao Bei, I know you are not good at this kind of thing, but she chose you, leaving me no choice.

Okay, I'll try again. But I think if she is really the future whip, she won't be exposed so easily.

Don't underestimate your enemies, and there's no need to think too hard about them. In this business, the probability of making stupid mistakes is much higher than you think.

Lu Linbei had no choice but to stand up and walk back to the Street of Destiny. He vaguely heard laughter coming from behind him. When he turned around, he only saw two serious faces.

There are two customers in Chen Manchi's shop, a man and a woman, who are listening attentively to their fate.

Lu Linbei made a gesture to indicate that he would come back later.

Chen Manchi apologized to the two guests, and then said to Lu Linbei who was standing at the door, Okay, pick me up at seven in the evening.

Lu Linbei was so surprised that he couldn't speak. The two guests looked over with curiosity and a hint of ridicule in their eyes.

Lu Linbei said hurriedly and turned back to the street. His heart was pounding. After taking a few steps, he regained his composure.

Just do whatever you want, he thought, he did owe the old man a test.
