11. Jiumen Village Murder Case (7)

Time is urgent, so everyone basically picks up the dishes and adds two bites of white rice, less than 5 minutes from serving until they finish eating.

On the way, Zhao Hao asked along the way where the fairy couplet in Daqian Village was. Surprisingly, almost all villagers over 30 years old knew the existence of the fairy couplet.

How could a fortune teller have such influence? Zhao Hao was also very confused.

I kept asking along the way, and after walking for twenty minutes, I arrived at the bottom of a mountain.

According to the mobile phone map, the name of this mountain is Baihua Mountain. Seeing the word "white flower", Zhao Hao thought of the white flower again.

According to the villagers who were guiding the road just now, there is a fork on the side of the mountain. After reaching the fork, you can walk to the right and you can see a small temple where the fairy couplet lives.

Following the route provided by the villagers, the two walked all the way up the mountain. Fortunately, the mountain was not very big, otherwise it would have been enough to walk for a while.

When you arrive at the hillside, there is a fork road, and there is a signpost in the middle of the fork road. This signpost is not like the one on the road, but more like you made by yourself, because the signpost is made of wood.

The left arrow points to the road on the left, with hell written on it. The right arrow points to the road on the right, with heaven written on it.

Zhao Hao and Huang Ke looked at each other. If time permitted, they really wanted to go to the hell road on the left to see what was at the end of the road. But now they don't have that extra time.

The two of them followed the road to the right and walked about 500 meters. Sure enough, they saw a small temple.

There are two children in front of the small temple, one on the left is wearing black clothes and one on the right is wearing white clothes. It looks like the childhood version of black and white impermanence.

The gate of the small temple is a copper door, with a plaque on the left: practice asceticism in this life; a plaque on the right: return to the permanence of wealth in the next life. Horizontal bill: All things are reincarnated.

When Zhao Hao and Huang Ke arrived at the door, the child on the left had no expression on his face, and the child on the right had a smile on his face, but neither of them spoke. They just pushed the copper door open and then returned to their original place.

Zhao Hao and Huang Ke walked in along the copper gate. The first thing they saw was a yard with the same kind of trees planted in the yard.

The atmosphere here is very depressing, and Huang Ke unconsciously lowered his voice when he spoke.

"Brother Zhao, what kind of tree is this? So many are planted."

Zhao Hao replied: "Peach wood. Many people in the folk believe that peach wood has the effect of exorcising evil spirits."

After passing the yard, they saw an independent temple building. There were queues at the entrance of the temple, with two or three people looking like.

Zhao Hao and Huang Ke kept their footsteps to the lowest point and tried not to disturb others, so that they would have more time to observe the mysterious fairy couplet mentioned by the villagers.

When they arrived, the Immortal Couplet was already counting for the person in front. Zhao Hao carefully observed the Immortal Couplet.

A woman with gender looks less than 35 years old. She has some strange stripes on her face and is wearing strange clothes. The front half of her body is colorful and the back bust looks like the material of nylon stockings. Next to her is a woman who looks in her twenties. She looks like she is the one who has helped Xianlian.

The man at the front seemed to be asking for marriage. He handed the immortal couplet with his birth date and horoscope. After the immortal couplet was taken over, he immediately handed it to him.

"Since I'm a fortune teller and I can't even calculate your birth date and horoscope, what's the name of the Immortal Couplet?"

I saw the fairy couplet counting, and then slowly said, "You were born on the 18th day of the February 18th of the Gengwu year..."

Hearing this, the man was obviously shocked and then nodded suddenly.

The immortal couplet then counted his fingers and said slowly: "The eight characters are weak, and the eight characters like fire. The day master's heavenly stem is earth, fire produces earth, and fire is suitable for earth. Metal, wood, and water are different. It is best for your other half to produce fire, but it is recommended that marriage be late and children are late, so that the couple can get along harmoniously and everything goes well."

After saying that, Xianlian stretched out his right hand, and the female assistant standing next to him took out a stone from a small box. Xianlian took the stone and handed it to the man.

"This stone is a marriage stone. Only by carrying it with you can you find your other half."

The man took the stone with a smile, put it in his pocket like a treasure, and even covered it, for fear that the stone would fall.

The man bowed respectfully to the fairy couplet, then turned around and left. At the door, he took out a stack of hundred-dollar bills from his wallet and put them into a box at the door. Zhao Hao took a rough look and found that the stack of bills was at least thousands.

Huang Ke also saw the scene of the man giving money and couldn't help but sigh: "How can you make money in fortune telling?"

Huang Ke's words were heard by the person in front of him, and he turned around and glared at Huang Ke fiercely. Huang Ke suddenly closed his mouth and did not dare to speak again. He was not afraid of being stared at by others, but was just worried that it would affect the task later.

In addition to Xianlian and her assistant, there are only Zhao Hao, Huang Ke and two other fortune tellers left in the temple.

As soon as the man who was counting marriage was stepping out of the door, the remaining two people walked respectfully towards the immortal couplet.

"Big... Daxian. Please look at my daughter. These days she has nightmares every night and can't sleep well, and she vomits and gets tired."

The two in front are a mother and daughter, and the girl looks only twelve or thirteen years old.

When Xianlian heard the mother's speech, she kept looking at the little girl's back and didn't say anything.

The mother followed the Xianlian's gaze and had nothing. She didn't dare to urge Xianlian, so she could only stand and wait.

After a long time, Xianlian asked, "Did some relatives die in your family last month?"

The mother was stunned at first, and then replied: "I...my brother committed suicide last month because he couldn't pay back the loan and was under too much pressure."

Xianlian still stared at the back of the little girl and said, "Your brother said it was too cold downstairs and wanted you to bring him some clothes."

The mother finally understood why Xianlian looked at the back of the little girl with her eyes. She began to become frightened and rolled to the back of the little girl and kowtowed a few times, saying, "Brother, I'm sorry for you. It's not that my sister doesn't give you money, it's because I really don't have money. I'll burn some clothes for you right away, no no... Not only clothes, but also paper money, and ingots, please let your little niece go, she's innocent."

Zhao Hao and Huang Ke looked at the ridiculous scene in front of them in amazement. They never believed that there were really people in this world who could see ghosts and gods.

The mother took a pack of things given by the fairy couplet, which contained some paper money, ingots and paper clothes. Before leaving, she still put a stack of hundred-dollar bills in the box at the door.
