The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

The sunlight filtered through the gaps between the clusters of locust flowers and fell on Tao Zhi, casting a swaying and mottled shadow of the flowers, making Tao Zhi's pale, almost transparent skin look even whiter.

Tao Zhi sat quietly in a wheelchair, listening to the footsteps of pedestrians around him and the laughter and play of children jumping and playing.

Suddenly something jumped onto Tao Zhi's legs. Tao Zhi subconsciously wanted to push the big ball in his arms away, but when he reached out his hand, he touched something warm and furry. Tao Zhi was stunned.

"Meow~" The furry creature in my arms made a sound.

cat?

Tao Zhi was a little at a loss as to what to do with the cat that suddenly appeared.

"Where did this fat wild cat come from? It's so dirty." said the nanny.

The nanny reacted and tried to drive the cat away, but the cat burrowed into Tao Zhi's arms, rubbed its head against the palm of his hand, then curled up and lay on Tao Zhi's legs, yawning, very familiarly.

Feeling the softness in his palm, Tao Zhi couldn't help but soften his gaze and put his hand on the cat's back.

"No need to chase it away." Tao Zhi said in a gentle voice.

The nanny stopped moving after hearing this.

Tao Zhi lowered his eyes and stroked the cat in his arms. From the large area of ​​fur that his palm could touch, he could tell that it was a very fat cat.

Tao Zhi's skinny hands fell on the cat again and again, and the cat collapsed into a puddle, purring.

Tao Zhi was absorbed in petting the cat when suddenly someone spoke close to his ear.

"Young man, do you want to have your fortune told?" asked the old Taoist priest with a white beard.

The other person came too close, and Tao Zhi was frightened, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

Before Tao Zhi could say anything, the nanny got angry first.

"What are you doing? Why are you standing so close to me?" the babysitter asked, her hands on her hips.

"I think this young gentleman has a connection with Ali, so I can tell him his fortune," said the old Taoist.

"Hey, it's written on the banner behind you that feudal superstition is not good. You are a Taoist priest and you are cheating people in front of the temple. You are a fool."

"Go away, go away." the nanny scolded.

"Auntie Wang." Tao Zhi shouted.

The nanny understood that Tao Zhi wanted her to stop talking, so she stopped and stared at the liar in front of her.

"Auntie Wang, since you're here, why don't you go for a walk too?" Tao Zhi said.

"No, I can't leave you here alone," said the nanny.

"Don't worry about me. I'll be basking in the sun here. I won't leave without permission. I'll be waiting for you to come back." Tao Zhi replied.

The nanny was worried about Tao Zhi, but she was really attracted by the scenery in the temple. Tao Zhi persuaded her a few more times, and the nanny happily climbed the stairs. Before leaving, she repeatedly reminded her not to leave the locust tree and not to pay attention to the white-bearded liar.

As soon as the nanny left, the Taoist priest came over.

"Young man, would you like to tell my fortune? The original price was 99.99, but now it's discounted to 52. You must return the money." asked the old Taoist.

"Do you even cheat disabled people?" Tao Zhi asked indifferently.

"Hey~ That's wrong. How can a cultivator's work be called a lie?"

"When it comes to fortune-telling, if you're right, it means you have insight into destiny, but if you're wrong, it's just the wrong timing," the old Taoist said in a slick tone.

Tao Zhi showed no emotion and quietly stroked the cat in his arms.

"I have no money." Tao Zhi said.

"It's okay if you don't have money. I'm very humane. You can make it up to me when we meet again." said the old Taoist.

Tao Zhi was about to refuse when the cat in his arms got up and changed its position, then buried its head in Tao Zhi's arms again and purred.

"Just calculate when I will die." Tao Zhi changed his mind and said.

The old Taoist stroked his beard.

"The most taboo thing about knowing destiny is to predict the future with the answer in mind. Since you already know the answer, why should I say anything more?" the old Taoist replied.

Tao Zhi was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Then just tell me what you calculated about me." Tao Zhi said.

“I want a lot, but I have nothing.”

"There is no way to save myself when I am facing a dead end."

“However, in the future you will be loved by your parents, live in harmony with your brothers and sisters, be surrounded by relatives and friends, and be with your lover. Your life will be smooth and complete.” said the old Taoist.

Tao Zhi's face turned cold when he heard this, and his eyes were filled with impatience.

"is it?"

"Looking at my half-human, half-ghost appearance, you can still lie to me that my life has been smooth and perfect."

"I thought I was blind, but it turns out you are blind too." Tao Zhi said sarcastically.

The old Taoist was not angry and still had a smiling face.

"So I'm talking about the future." The old Taoist said with a smile.

"What you said will never come true in the future." Tao Zhi said indifferently.

After all, when I go back from basking in the sun today, I will be at the end of my life.

No one knows better than yourself that the road ahead is a dead end.

"Even if you are imprisoned, a dead tree can still come back to life in spring." The old Taoist said with a smile.

Tao Zhi's heart was filled with ripples, and he was about to say something when suddenly he smelled a fresh fragrance and an unknown object fell into his arms.

Tao Zhi reached out to touch it and found it was a cluster of locust flowers. The locust flowers fell on the cat, but the cat did not get up. It just shook its head and shook off a few locust flowers.

"The locust flowers in Daoyuan Temple are in full bloom. You must come and see them with your own eyes if you have the chance in the future," said the old Taoist.

"You are talking nonsense again." Tao Zhi replied.

The old Taoist suddenly let out a loud cry and ran away in a hurry.

Following closely behind the Taoist priest were several policemen, all of whom were chasing him with a helpless look on their faces. They were obviously acquaintances of the Taoist priest.

"Catch him!" the police shouted.

The old Taoist ran with his teeth bared, holding up his Taoist robe and running wildly, his beard swaying in the wind. He was chased by the police and ran around the locust tree for more than ten laps, attracting onlookers.

The policeman was sweating profusely and gasping for breath. Finally, he succeeded in arresting the man by having the Taoist priest trip over him with his left foot and fall flat on his face.

The policeman dragged the Taoist priest towards Tao Zhi.

"I've warned you so many times, but you never change. You're getting more and more shameless. You even cheated a disabled person." The policeman held his forehead and sighed.

"Sir, did this old swindler succeed in defrauding you of your money just now? If so, please let us know and we can get it back." The police asked Tao Zhi.

"No." Tao Zhi replied.

"It's fine if you don't."

"If you encounter such charlatans in the future, stay away from them and don't listen to their nonsense about changing your destiny."

"You are so young, don't believe in these feudal superstitions. We have to believe in science and believe in ourselves."

"If you are sick, go to the hospital and get treatment. If you don't have money, earn it. If you want something, you have to work hard to get it."

"Everyone has his own destiny. Don't be too obsessed with things that are impossible to have. You must be down-to-earth and don't think about achieving success overnight. You can't change your so-called destiny by relying on these weird ways." The police advised.

Tao Zhi's eyes dimmed when he heard that, his clenched fists trembled slightly, and his fingertips hurt in his palms.

I know better than anyone that everyone has their own destiny.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you police officer for your guidance. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." Tao Zhi said in a warm voice.

During the conversation, the police discovered that Tao Zhi not only had difficulty walking, but also seemed to be blind.

"Comrade, I see you are alone here. Do you need us to help you contact your family?" asked the police.

"No, thank you." Tao Zhi replied.

The police pulled the Taoist away. The Taoist kept saying “Ouch” to the left and “Ouch” to the right in a pretentious manner, looking back every three steps, and was helplessly pulled further and further away.

The cat in Tao Zhi's arms jumped down, yawning and walking lazily towards the Taoist priest.

"See you again if we're lucky enough--" the old Taoist turned around and shouted to Tao Zhi.

There was no fur in his arms anymore, only a cluster of lush locust flowers remained, and Tao Zhi felt empty in his heart.

The fragrance of locust flowers wafted in the air, and Tao Zhi looked up towards the sun.

Even if you are imprisoned, can a dead tree still have spring?

It's better to dream of spring after death. Tao Zhi sneered in his heart.
