"Grandma, we didn't see it just now. There is a wooden board under the stone. It says it's not a fortune teller..." There were fewer and fewer people in front of them, and they were getting closer to the two vendors. He also saw clearly the two men, the small wooden table next to them, and the wooden board on which words were written on the small wooden table casually.

"What's written on it?" Du Yingying asked.

"Touch the stone, touch the three coins, if you touch the stone, give it to someone who is destined, if you don't touch it, you won't get the money back." Dang Gui said.

Du Yingying curled her lips: I asked the wrong person just now, and that person probably couldn't read, so he told her that it was a fortune-telling stall.

"What should we do, grandma, shall we go?" It costs three Wen to touch it, which can buy three eggs, and it is not worthwhile to count the angelica.

"Touch! Why don't you touch? It's already time." Du Yingying refused to leave.

That's right, looking back, there are still a lot of people behind them. The sense of accomplishment alone makes people feel that it's too bad to leave!

But Du Yingying secretly thought that it would be good if they sent someone to touch it, nine eggs would be too much...

Then she let Dang Gui, who was in front of her, touch it.

Then I touched it, and the stone on the small wooden table, which had been dusty like a roadside stone, lit up.

The people around said "Oh" in unison.

The man in white who had been sitting gracefully looking like a fairy before stood up abruptly, looked at the girl in front of him like lightning, and said, "You have roots, you have roots."

Watching the old man in front of him vigilantly, the young girl——Dang Gui withdrew her hand touching the stone, took a step back with Du Nan in her arms, and touched the little pearl hairpin in her hair when she withdrew her hand.

Whispering voices came from around - "This man has lame eyes, he's obviously a female doll, and he's wearing a pearl hairpin! He just said he has roots."

"That's right, it's still a fortune teller. I don't think he can tell the difference between a man and a woman. What kind of fate is it?"

How did I become a fortune teller?And - stunned by the surrounding voices, the man in white decided to ignore them. To him, the only thing that matters is the little doll in front of him. He can touch this stone at such a young age. What kind of talented fairy is the other party? Root, curious, he is curious!

Trying to maintain a calm expression, the man in white said with a fairy air: "Actually, what they said is true. I can tell fortunes, but I am counting the fate of the gods here."

"Little friend, I think you have immortal roots, maybe you can become an immortal. If you are sure, I can take you to cultivate an immortal. Do you know that you can become an immortal... So, let me touch it, okay? "

Hehe, other people don't know that he actually has a good ability to touch bones, but what he touches is not ordinary bones but fairy bones. These mortals are actually right. In a sense, he is indeed fortune-telling.

Thinking in his heart, he stretched out his white and slender hand proudly, and slowly touched the other party—"Not good." With a hard voice, an elderly woman lay between them.

This woman is naturally Du Yingying.

With Du Yingying here, want to touch Angelica's hand?no way!There are no windows either!

Hengmei looked coldly at the man in white, and Du Yingying said: "Why didn't you say you wanted to touch so many people before, but it's my little girl's turn to touch it? You said he has immortal roots, so he has immortal roots? You Where did you see it?"

Sharp words, straight to the point!

This... Didn't mortals like to meet immortals on the road and say that they have immortal roots, but when they meet immortal cultivators who say so, they have to grasp this line of immortality no matter what they say?That's how he walked with his master back then, why did he come to this land, it seems that nothing is right...

The man in white was stunned for a while, and glanced at the stone on the small wooden table from the corner of his eye, he hurriedly said: "Of course it's not empty talk, it's because he touched this spirit stone, and the spirit stone lit up, that's why I said he has immortal roots... "

"You said that if he touches the light, he will have fairy roots. I also said that I will also light up!" Du Yingying said, her thin eyebrows raised high, and she slapped the three pennies on the small wooden table with her left hand. After shooting, he touched the stone that Angelica had touched.

"Let me tell you, madam, this spirit stone is not an ordinary stone, and it's not something that anyone can touch..."

The man in white was talking, and the next second, seeing the stone lit up again under Du Yingying's palm, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets!

"This is!"

Let alone him, Du Yingying herself was a little surprised.

In fact, she was in a hurry to get there, and she was a little bit stuck, but she didn't expect such a coincidence that the stone was bright again.

"Liar!" At this moment, Dang Gui spoke, hugging Du Nan with one hand, and pointing at the man in white with the other.

"A liar who specializes in deceiving children, under the pretense that the other party has a celestial root, deceives the child away, and then finds a place to sell it. This is a liar who sells children!" Dang Gui said sternly.

There was a gasp from the crowd, and the man in white was stunned for a moment!

"I also said that you are not a liar. I am afraid that you just took advantage of my doll to touch this stone, did you do something on this stone? I didn't have time to untie it when I touched it. The next person who touches it will definitely shine. Don't believe it. Just watch." Hearing this, Du Yingying became more courageous, took three Wen coins from her purse and patted it on the wooden table, and raised her chin at the same time, and Angelica immediately held up Du Nan's small bag in an instant understanding. Slap over to touch the stone.

Then—in front of the people around and the man in black and white, the stone actually lit up again.

Unexpectedly... again... lit... again...

Why did I use the word "again"...

The mouth was opened wide, and the man in white was flustered in the wind.

He was messed up, but the people around him were angry—"Liar! The liar who lied to that little girl before!"

"It's nonsense to say that people can cultivate immortals, but they have to run thousands of miles to find immortals, and they have to die to find the gate of immortals."

"I didn't find the fairy door until I died! She was dying in our Tuwei Village, and she died when she arrived in the state capital!" There are also villagers from Tuwei Village who came forward to explain.

For a while, the scene was as chaotic as a hornet's nest, buzzing!Buzz buzz!The man in white wanted to say something, but his mind was now completely occupied by the stone that lit up three times in a row.

"Hmph! You took us away. According to you, all three of us have roots and can cultivate immortals. You took us away!" Du Yingying's current expression can only be described in one word, that is, " Arrogant", with her chin facing the man in white, her eyes narrowed, she just looked at the man in white like that: "Isn't the next step going to be to walk away?"

"I...I..." After saying the word "I" twice, the man in white wanted to say something, when he suddenly saw the jade pendant on his body flickering.

"Zongmen Order, we are told to return to the Zongmen quickly!" The man in black whispered next to him.

"This, this time there is a temporary matter, I can't take you with me, you wait, I will come back to you later!" Under the Zongmen order, the man in white can only take the Zongmen order first, looking at the three people in front of him, That's all he can say.

"They want to run! They are found and want to run!"

"Refund us a lot of money! What about three Wen! You can buy three eggs!"

"Didn't you say that if you touched the stone, you would give the stone to others? There were three people who touched the stone, but you took three stones out!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, the man in black decisively came over and pulled up the man in white, and sprinkled the money collected in the storage bag into the sky——people immediately stopped their previous denunciation and stopped besieging, and everyone was humbled The body picked up the money.

When the money was picked up almost, people discovered that the two men, black and white, had disappeared.

"It must have taken advantage of the chaos!" People said, seeing that Du Yingying, grandparents and grandchildren were still there, and an old man next to him gave Du Yingying nine coins from the big money he picked up: " Big sister, this is your money, alas, that stone is still there? Take it quickly, according to the rules, this is yours, and they will give you two stones less!"

"Thank you, big brother." After collecting the big money, Du Yingying thanked the uncle, and motioned for Dang Gui to pick up the stone from the wooden table.

Thus, a farce ensued. Not only did they have a penny of money on them, but they also had an extra stone that would glow when touched.

"Put it away, it won't take up space anyway." Du Yingying said.

Angelica put the stone in her purse.

The previous onlookers dispersed, and they continued to walk forward, but Du Yingying seemed to be still looking for something.

"Grandma, what are you looking for? Do you want me to look for it with you?" What Du Nan discovered, Dang Gui naturally also discovered, and after walking for a while, he finally couldn't help asking.

Du Yingying glanced at him and said for a while, "Fortune teller."

Du Nan & Angelica: ...

Seeing the same expressions on the two children, one big and one small, Du Yingying felt a little uncomfortable, and waved her hand: "You don't understand, unlike the liar just now, they are real immortals, so you can be sure , My prosperous daughter's life and Du Nan's father's prosperous wife's life are all approved by her."

"Aren't you settled in our house yet? The town only sends people down to count the household registration every three years. When you came to our house, you just finished counting the last time. It will be time for the next count in a few days. We have to prepare your name in advance." Du Yingying said, without looking at Danggui, but continued to search around with eyes like a torch: "The name Danggui that your mother gave you is not bad, but it sounds like a baby name. A big woman should have a brighter name when she is alive."

"Not only must it be bright, but it must also be prosperous. A name is with you for a lifetime, and a good name can prosper you for a lifetime."

Angelica was stunned.

He opened his mouth, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything when the words reached his mouth.

Looking up at him, Du Nan withdrew his gaze: that's how he is. He usually speaks eloquently. Nothing can be said out of the heart.

Like a gourd with its mouth sawn.

"All right! All right! Don't be moved, I'm not doing it for you, I'm afraid that if the name is not good, my whole family will be deceived!" Du Yingying said with her face turned to one side.

Du Nan thought: Come on!One pot and one lid, his grandma just likes it.

And Dang Gui seems to be very fond of his milk—seeing Dang Gui silently rubbing against his milk, helping her to stop people from one direction to squeeze forward together, Du Nan thought silently.

So then they concentrated on looking for a fortune-telling stall, and the emperor paid off. Under a salted fish stall, Du Yingying saw a familiar figure at a glance—it was an old lady with silver hair and a hair full of hair. The table was full of salted fish, sitting on a wooden chair, and there was a broken table in front of it. Nothing was written or hung on the table. If Du Yingying didn't know who she was, no one would have guessed that this was actually a legend. The fortune-telling fairy!

"It's her!" With a loud shout, Du Yingying grabbed the angelica and ran over there.

"Du Nan's father and I used to look for her in the neighboring village. Later, I also wanted to ask her to name you, but I heard that she was taken by her great-great-great-granddaughter to live somewhere, so I never found her." , It's also a good event for this big fair, so I wondered if she would come to set up a stall..." Du Yingying was very excited, and said to Angelica while pushing forward.

"Finally found you!" Du Yingying said to the old lady after a sea of ​​people squeezed in front of the old lady.

Pushing away the salted fish covering half of her face, the old lady smiled at her very kindly.

This is a very old lady, older than all the old people Du Nan has seen in the village, her hair is all white, and the wrinkles on her face are layered on top of each other. Only when she smiles, the lines "live" "Get up, looking very kind.

"Old Immortal, do you still remember me? You told my fortune before." Du Yingying first recounted the past with him.

"Wang! Wang!" the old man said to her.

Hearing this, Du Yingying was very happy: "That's right, it's me, you said that my life is very prosperous, the daughter of a prosperous girl..."

The old man continued to smile kindly.

Then Du Yingying pulled Dang Gui over: "Old Immortal, I am looking for you this time to ask for a name for my granddaughter, please help me figure out what name I want."

But before that, she whispered to Dang Gui: "Your mother told me this time, let me ask you what you want to be called. Although the old fairy is a god, but she hasn't read any books, you don't know what name she named. I must like it, we have to figure out a rough range, and then let the old god approve."

Dang Gui was stunned for a moment, then thought hard.

But he didn't think about it for long, and soon he raised his head: "Ji, I want to be called Ji."

"Chicken? Are you sure you want to be called this name?" Du Yingying looked at Angelica with a look of astonishment, thinking that this child's aesthetics is not much better than that of the old fairy.

But seeing that Angelica was very serious, she took out a large cup of dictionary from her bag, found the pages of ji pronunciation in it, and was about to offer the dictionary to the old woman, when she suddenly thought of something, turned her head and whispered Ask Angelica—"Then what is your surname? But if you want to in the future... it's better not to be Du." Du Yingying said, pointing in Du Nan's direction with her chin.

If you want to marry Du Nan in the future, it's best not to have a surname of Du—Danggui Miaoknows.

So he immediately became obedient and said, "I wonder if my surname can be Zhu?"

"Success, anyway, your household registration is on the account of the old Du's family, and everyone with a surname is from my old Du's family." Talking to a smart person is smart, Du Yingying said immediately.

Du Nan: You guys are discussing the child bride again. Don't think I didn't understand if I didn't say anything.

It's been so long, and you two haven't given up yet. Thinking of this, Du Nan couldn't help but sigh again.

But what's the use of his sighing, Du Yingying has already handed over the dictionary, and at the same time said to the old woman: "Old fairy, my child's surname is Zhu, and I want to be called ji. All the characters for ji are here. You can choose One of the most prosperous."

The old woman nodded, picked up the thick brick-like dictionary, slid her withered fingers across the paper, and finally landed on one of the words.

"Wang!" She chose.

Du Yingying took the dictionary over as if she had found a treasure, and held her breath together with Dang Gui to look at the words that the old fairy circled—Ji, not very round beads.

It doesn't sound like much, but at least the old fairy didn't really order a "chicken", let alone her old man still said the word "wang".

Du Yingying looked at Danggui, meaning to ask him "how is it?" Danggui nodded, so the matter was settled.

However, Du Yingying was still not at ease, and asked the old man several times how about the name "Zhu Ji". After all, the surname is important, and the surname and the first name must match. .

"Wang!" The old man's firm answer dispelled her worries.

So Du Yingying finally felt relieved, turned to Danggui and said, "From now on, your name will be Zhu Ji."

"Hey!" In response, looking at the inconspicuous word "阿" in the dilapidated dictionary, the corners of Angelica's mouth curled up steadily.

After the biggest event was settled, Du Yingying asked a few more questions before the old god rushed away, such as whether the name Du Nan is also very prosperous, whether Du Nan will have a wife in the future, whether Zhu Ji will have a husband, Whether she herself will continue to be prosperous by her descendants for a few more years, whether her daughter's errands are prosperous, whether Ahe is prosperous, and whether Du Ying's business is prosperous at home... Finally, she remembered Zhu Zixuan and helped him by the way asked a question.

To her question, the old fairy smiled kindly, and the answer was "Wang".

So Du Yingying was completely relieved, and took out a basket of eggs and a large silver ingot from her bag, she put her palms together devoutly and worshiped the old god: "I wish you a long life, I will have to ask you to watch your fate later!"

Watched by the old fairy with a warm smile, Du Yingying led the two children and left contentedly.

Not long after they left, a middle-aged woman walked by and saw the eggs at the old lady's feet and the big silver in the old man's hand. She was startled: "Great-great-great-great-grandmother, you What is it for someone?"

"Why did you accept so many things from others?"

As she spoke, she still looked around, trying to quickly find the person to return the things, but Du Yingying was famous for her quick legs, so she had already gone far away.

There is no way, the woman can only come back with eggs and silver in the end.

"Hey, where did you get taken advantage of? Why did you think of asking your fortune-telling? You can only say one word..."

She sighed, and what about the old lady?Looking at the direction Du Yingying left, with a kind smile on her face, the old man opened her mouth again: "Wang."

***

After getting a good name, giving life to the family, and getting a lot of prosperous characters, Du Yingying took the two children to run wild on the street for a long time, and finally returned home with big bags and small bags.

They also brought presents to the two Xinglangs—the big Xinglang was too big, for fear of hurting him when he stumbled and hurt him when going to the market, Danggui just kept him at home, because the big Xinglang stayed behind, and the little Xinglang stayed with him stay together.

However—the one who greeted them was Da Xinglang with a red string on his head.

↑

Wishing red string.

There are many trees in the blind date corner in the town today dressed in this way.

He looked at Da Xinglang, who looked like he had worked hard at home all day, holding a pot and a shovel, and looked at the red ropes on top of his head.

Dang Gui & Belly & Du Yingying: ... All right, as long as you're happy.
