Saving Lives

Is someone sick?

Zhouzhou's expression turned serious, and she immediately dropped her bundle and agilely maneuvered through the crowd, walking to the center.

There was an elderly lady lying there, clutching her chest, with a pained expression on her face. Her complexion was pale, and she was breathing rapidly, as if she could faint at any moment.

A child approached, but Butler Li didn't pay attention, looking around at the pilgrims in search of help. Unfortunately, there was no doctor among them, and despair filled his eyes.

If something happened to the old lady, the Master and the young masters would surely skin him alive.

Zhouzhou glanced at the elderly lady, then at Li, blinked her eyes, somewhat puzzled. Wasn't it just a heart condition? Why did it frighten him like this?

People at the foot of the mountain are really timid.

With that in mind, she shook her head, pinched her chin, and handed her a red pill. She gently pressed a certain acupoint, and the lady's throat moved as she swallowed it.

Butler Li turned his head and witnessed this scene. His soul nearly left his body, and he angrily said with a stern face, "Whose child gave our old lady something to eat? Get away quickly!"

As he reached out to push her, Zhouzhou skillfully dodged his hand.

Just as Butler Li was about to speak, a cry came from the crowd, "She's awake!" He hurriedly looked over and saw Madam Qin slowly opening her eyes. Her breathing had become much smoother than before, and he was overjoyed. "Madam, you're awake!"

Madam Qin pushed him aside irritably, blocking his line of sight. However, just as she woke up, her strength was not strong. She vaguely saw something swaying around the waist of her little benefactor.

What an ugly toad.

Why would someone carry a toad with them?

The toad swayed, and her vision blurred even more. Before long, she fainted again.

"Madam!" the butler exclaimed. Fortunately, at that moment, the ambulance had arrived and swiftly lifted her onto it. The ambulance departed with a siren, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, revealing a bald little girl.

Once she confirmed that the old lady was fine, Zhouzhou turned back to pick up her bundle. She took out a compass from inside, along with a stinky sock that her Senior Martial Uncle Mingtong had worn.

The stench was overwhelming.

Zhouzhou retched, holding her nose and keeping her distance. She waited for the compass to memorize its scent and immediately threw it away, wiping her hands with disgust. It took two Purification Talismans before she felt better.

Senior Martial Uncle Mingtong is just too stinky!

After walking for more than four hours, Zhouzhou finally stopped in a certain place. She looked down at the direction indicated by the compass in her hand, then glanced at a person in Taoist robes not far ahead. He had a long beard and a Taoist hairstyle, giving off a somewhat ethereal and refined aura. Next to him was a wooden board with the words "Fortune Telling and Physiognomy, 2 yuan per session" written on it.

Zhouzhou's nose twitched, detecting a familiar smell, and a determined look flashed in her eyes.

Yes, this smell must be Senior Martial Uncle Mingtong!

Both of them are so smelly!

Zhouzhou walked quickly over and saw him busy, so she didn't interrupt him. She squatted down quietly beside him and waited for them to finish talking.

"Little girl, your compatibility with your boyfriend is excellent. He is your destined partner. Hold onto him well, and you will have a loving marriage and many descendants in the future," Mingtong said as he looked at the guest's palm, calmly observing her expression.

“However...” His tone changed, and he shook his head with a regretful look.

The girl became anxious and immediately asked, "What do you mean by 'however' Master? Please tell me!"

Mingtong stroked his beard and slowly said, "However, although it is a destined relationship, there is a calamity. If you cannot overcome it smoothly, then it will be a destined relationship without a future. It's a pity, a pity for this good marriage."

Upon hearing this, the girl became even more anxious. She was about to get engaged to her boyfriend, which was why she came to have it calculated, but she didn't expect to receive this answer.

"Master, is there any solution? Please help me, I'll pay you!" she pleaded.

Mingtong shook his head, "As a Taoist priest, I do not seek wealth. However, since we have a connection, I will help you a little." Saying this, he took out a talisman from his sleeve. "This is a marriage talisman that can resolve your calamity. Just keep it with you at all times."

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou, who was standing nearby, frowned and looked at him with confusion. Then she looked at the girl who was about to pay and immediately said, "This talisman is just an ordinary talisman, it's not useful."

Upon hearing her words, both Mingtong and the girl looked over at her.

Mingtong, displeased, said, "Where did this little kid come from? Don't cause trouble. Are you willing to take responsibility if you ruin this person's marriage fate?"

Zhouzhou shook her head and said, "This sister has a good facial structure, and her complexion is healthy and vibrant. It is clearly the face of a fulfilled marriage. There is no calamity."

Mingtong widened his eyes and retorted, "She has an ear-forward face, which clearly indicates marrying far away. How can a faraway marriage not have a calamity?"

Unperturbed by his response, Zhouzhou calmly said, "Indeed, she will marry far away, but it doesn't mean that the marriage fate is bad. It just requires some adjustment in daily life. However, it can't be considered a calamity."

Pausing for a moment, she recalled the words Mingtong had mentioned earlier, "Your boyfriend, should it mean your future husband, right?" She continued, "Is your boyfriend from the southern region? And you are about to meet each other's parents, right?"

"Yes, yes, that's right," the girl nodded repeatedly.

Mingtong sneered, as it was what he had just said. As long as you eavesdrop on a few sentences, you would know. It wasn't a big deal.

Ignoring him, Zhouzhou said, "Sister, you're worried about not getting along with your boyfriend's parents. But don't overthink it. Your future in-laws are very kind and fond of you. Hmm, the only barrier between you two might be language."

The girl's eyes lit up even more, "That's right!"

She indeed couldn't understand the dialect spoken in her boyfriend's hometown, and she hadn't mentioned it before.

Looking at Zhouzhou, her interest piqued, she couldn't help but ask, "Little master, can you see anything else?"

Zhouzhou observed her facial features and said earnestly, "Sister, your facial features are very good. You won't be extremely wealthy, but your life will be smooth. However, I see that your forehead is slightly concave, indicating recent financial losses. You should be cautious when choosing business partners, especially those who have recently come into fortune."

Upon hearing this, the girl became serious. If everything before was just a joke, what she said now hit the mark for sure.

In the past few days, one of her friends had received compensation for demolition and wanted her to open a shop together. She was hesitant, but now that Zhouzhou mentioned it, she immediately dismissed the idea.

"Okay, I'll listen to the little master. Thank you very much," the girl thanked sincerely. Although she thought Zhouzhou was too young, her accuracy was undeniable. She couldn't help but ask, "Little master, do you have any talismans here? Marriage talismans, wealth talismans, and Safery Talismans, anything will do."
