God's Gift

When the man who had just been bewitched by Ning Yue heard this, all his beautiful thoughts disappeared, and he was shocked that Ning Yue could do whatever he wanted.

After Ning Yue finished laughing, he walked behind the screen, picked up a book box, took off the helmet on his head and threw it into the box, then jumped to the stage, pulled up Yu Youyou and ran out, laughing loudly as he ran, making the diners in the restaurant extremely depressed.

Yu Youyou was taken away, and her little dogs also scattered like birds and beasts, each leaving.

When they reached a small stall outside the restaurant, Ning Yue stopped for a moment, took off his bright red costume, revealing a grey linen robe underneath, and then casually threw the costume into the bookcase, smiling and saying:

“Youyou, did you see just now? Those people’s faces turned green! Hahahaha…”

Yu Youyou nodded casually, looking at the costumes in the bookcase curiously, and rummaged through the bookcase a few times, and saw a handful of yarrow, a few strings of copper coins, and a compass made of tortoise shells. She asked in confusion:

"What do you do with all this stuff?"

Hearing Yu Youyou's question, Ning Yue looked at his bookcase and replied, "For fortune-telling."

"I've been setting up a stall by the bridge these days to tell fortunes for others."

"Fortune-telling?" Yu Youyou had seen a few fortune-tellers in the city in the past two years, but she didn't expect Ning Yue to do this these days. She thought about it and asked again, "Are you accurate?"

"Of course it's accurate. I'm always right. People who have asked me to tell their fortunes call me a fortune teller."

At this point, Ning Yue became interested and told Youyou, "The other day, an old widower came to me to predict his marriage. I said that his love star had not moved, and if he wanted to get married, he had to go to the canal to find a turtle and bring the turtle home in a sedan chair."

"Do you know what happened in the end?"

Ning Yue took a breath and said with a smile, "He actually found a turtle, hired a sedan bearer, and brought the turtle home in a sedan bearer. Then he came to ask me where his wife is."

"Hahahaha...I'll tell him that his wife is already at home, right?"

"He immediately ran back home happily to find his wife...hahahaha...isn't it that bastard?"

"Ah..." Yu Youyou opened her mouth and said in confusion: "The wife you chose for him is that bastard?"

Ning Yue heard Yu Youyou's serious question, turned his head to look at her, laughed again, and replied: "Yes, I counted with my fingers, and his marriage is to be a cuckold."

Yu Youyou frowned and looked at Ning Yue again, but she didn't dwell on Yu Wangba's question. She changed the subject and asked, "Then is Ajin's marriage destined to be with Fang Ling?"

Hearing this, the smile on Ning Jin's face gradually faded. There was no expression on her heavily made-up face, and she looked a little gloomy. Her pair of peach blossom eyes were like a deep pool under a tree, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Yu Youyou turned her head and looked at Ning Yue seriously.

After a long while, Ning Yue finally responded, "Yes, Fang Ling is Ajin's destined marriage."

"Is that so?" Yu Youyou nodded and asked, "When will they get married? Fang Ling hasn't met A Jin yet?"

"It's almost time." Ning Yue waved his sleeves, no longer smiling as usual, and said to Youyou, "Let's go home. Ajin has been waiting for us for a long time."

"Oh." Yu Youyou responded and followed Ning Yue all the way to the general's mansion.

As the sky darkened, the city of Gusu was decorated with lights and pedestrians were walking through the streets and alleys. Many pleasure boats were moored on the canal, hanging beautiful lanterns.

The river water rippled, and the lanterns on the boat broke into pieces on the water, turning into several more lanterns.

The two men walked to the front of the Huachun Boat. There was constant sound of stringed instruments in the boat, and actors were singing pleasant tunes accompaniment to the music. Prostitutes were drinking and having fun with dignitaries. Amidst the clinking of glasses, a musician dressed in white and wearing a veil stood out among the crowd of beautiful women.

Ning Yue glanced at the bustling Huachunfang, and then asked Yu Youyou behind him: "Who told you about Ajin's marriage?"

"A friend of mine." Yu Youyou followed Ning Yue and passed by Huachunfang, responding casually.

"It's been two years, and the only friend I often hear you talk about is Fang Ling. It seems that this friend is someone I don't know." Ning Yue's makeup was not washed off. He walked casually on the street, ignoring the eyes around him, and then said:

"It seems that the person you said you were looking for two years ago has been found now."

"Yeah." Yu Youyou nodded, then said with a sad face, "But I still don't know where he lives."

Ning Yue kept walking, his eyes swept over the Huachunfang next to him, and he replied nonchalantly: "We'll find out eventually."

The two of them returned to the General's Mansion very quickly. Yu Youyou handed the books she brought back from the bookstore to Ning Jin. Ning Jin held the books in his hands and couldn't let them go. He said:

"Thank you, Youyou. I've read the book you bought last month several times and I'm tired of it."

"You're welcome." Yu Youyou replied with a smile, and then said, "Someone else has made Ajin's clothes for me, so I won't buy the material for you for now."

"Others?" Ning Jin was a little confused when he heard this. "Besides my brother, who else would make clothes for me?"

At this moment, Ning Yue walked slowly into the yard with a bowl of medicine. He happened to hear Yu Youyou's words. He paused and looked at Ning Jin who had finished washing up.

The lights in the courtyard were a little dim. As the temperature rose, the plants in the courtyard revived. The peach blossoms bloomed and the mosquitoes increased in number, flying around in the candlelight.

Yu Youyou took a rattle that a child played with and shook it next to her ear. Listening to the sound of the rattle, she smiled with joy and replied:

"Fang Ling."

Hearing this name, Ning Jin was stunned for a second, looking a little dazed.

At this point, Yu Youyou stopped playing the rattle in her hand, looked at Ning Jin seriously, and said, "Ajin didn't tell me this, so I was wondering why Fang Ling asked me about you every time he saw me in the past two years."

Ning Jin's face was not rosy, and her sickly complexion was very obvious. Without the lip balm, she looked even weaker. She listened to what Yu Youyou said, tightened her fingers around the book, and murmured, "Really?"

"Ajin, do you know what Fang Ling looks like?" Yu Youyou shook the rattle again and asked Ning Jin with a smile.

Ning Jin hesitated for a few seconds and shook his head, "I haven't met him yet."

"Is that so?" Yu Youyou murmured thoughtfully, then laughed again, lying on the floor, crawling a step closer to Ning Jin, and said to Ning Jin:

"Fang Ling is pretty good-looking. Today I met a person who was saved by Fang Ling. This is how he described Fang Ling..."

"He is eight feet tall, with a face as handsome as jade, bright eyes, and a cheerful smile. He is a great hero who helps the weak when he sees injustice."

Hearing this, Ning Jin couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Is that really the case?"

"That's what he said anyway." Yu Youyou sat back down.

"Yuyou." Ning Yue, who had been standing at the gate for a while, came over. After exchanging a glance with Ning Jin, he looked at Yu Youyou and said, "Ajin is going to rest. You should go back and rest too."

He placed the medicine bowl in front of Ning Jin and said, "Ajin, it's time to take the medicine."

Ning Jin lowered his head and looked at the dark medicine in the bowl with a bitter expression. He sighed and said to Youyou, "Youyou should go back and rest as well."

"Okay, Ajin, have a good dream." Yu Youyou said with a smile, stood up, waved to Ning Yue, walked into the yard and looked at the peach trees in full bloom under the night sky.

Those flowers are large and bright, and look full of vitality.

Yu Youyou stopped walking, looked at the peach blossoms, put her hands behind her back, and sighed, "I'm really going to die."

Ning Yue turned his head and quietly watched Yu Youyou's back as she left. He didn't turn his head back until the figure disappeared in the darkness.

"Youyou always says some strange things." Ning Jin chuckled, then looked at Ning Yue and said, "She is also lively and always makes people like her."

Ning Yue looked at Ning Jin quietly and did not answer.

Ning Jin sighed, glanced at the bowl of medicine, stood up and walked into the room, leaving a message for Ning Yue:

"I haven't had a dream in a long time."

Ning Yue's eyelashes trembled. After Ning Jin left, he picked up the medicine on the table, walked under the peach tree, and poured a bowl of medicine into the soil.
