This basically dead tree is no more than two meters high and about 80 centimeters in diameter. A stone tablet is placed in front of the dead tree stump.
It reads: About three thousand years ago, this place was a place of water, and later geological changes formed an island, as the name: Zexi Island.
According to the stele, this is an ancient locust tree.
According to textual research, it has at least a thousand years of history, and it can determine good fortune and fortune, so it is a well-known iconic tourist destination in the local area.
The stele reads: This tree was cut in half by lightning during a heavy rain 17 years ago. It was not discovered until the rain stopped two days later. After that, people all over the island fell into grief and fear.
The sad thing is: the ancient locust tree is the spiritual pillar of the whole island, once it falls down, people's hearts will also collapse.
What is frightening is: under the feudal ideology, the phenomenon of cutting off the middle is the big culprit, which is very unlucky.
At that time, the people on the island were in chaos. Many people of the older generation cried and fainted in front of the tree stump, wanting to atone for their sins and pray that the ancient locust tree would not suffer disaster.
Strangely, when the experts arrived, they found that the ancient locust tree was still alive after diagnosis. Therefore, the people on the island were more convinced that the ancient locust tree had some kind of magical power, and they became more devout.
I saw that there were still young leaves on the branches of the stump, and I couldn't help admiring the ancient pagoda tree, awe of its powerful vitality.
There are a lot of red ropes tied to very few tree trunks and stumps, which should be used for blessings.
I stretched out my hand, put it on the tree stump, closed my eyes, and silently wrote the word "Xia" in my heart.
I opened my eyes and looked at Uncle Divination and said, "I've finished writing it."
The uncle took another sip of wine, and put the compass in his hand in the center of the mahogany table. I couldn't understand the mystery of this, but I just looked forward to it.
For a long time, I have been following the direction that the fortune-telling master's glasses are looking at - the compass.
I concentrate and even reduce the number of blinks, for fear of missing something. As the time passed by every minute and every second, I became impatient. Do I need to watch it for so long?
I am still waiting for his prophecy! I even wondered if this fortune teller fell asleep, who knows what he is doing with black-rimmed glasses? !
Thinking about it again, could it be that he hasn't figured out the mystery yet? Still haven't figured out an excuse to cheat my money? I really don't understand!
Wait, wait, I'm really impatient and want to flip the table! Maybe Linhan saw my impulsiveness, and quickly put his hand on my shoulder to show my patience, so I had no choice but to continue to wait to show respect.
But it's so boring! I held my chin in both hands and sat upright on the stool. Originally, four stools were on the ground, but I only used two stools to touch the ground.
Finally, his hoarse and dry voice sounded again, and I always felt panicked.
He said: "Have you encountered anything unusual recently?"
"Ah? What do you mean?" The brain circuit of this divination master is really strange, and I am in a cold sweat!
"It's just some supernatural events that can't be explained by science." After he finished speaking, he took another sip of wine, eagerly waiting for my answer.
I suddenly felt a chill down my back, what the hell? !
I was a little frightened, and looked back at Linhan, Linhan quickly took my hand, squeezed it and told me not to be afraid.
I just calmed down a little, but my voice trembled and said: "No."
"The time has not yet come. Girl, I have no solution to your fate. The hexagram shows that good or bad fortune is destined."
"Worth and misfortune? Can you trouble me to solve it for me?"
The uncle looked up at Linhan again for a long time, does the uncle mean that Linhan can be solved?
I also looked up at my face, and looked at him with admiration. It may be that we have been looking at him, and he felt a little embarrassed, and then pulled me up and put his arms around my waist, and squeezed me deliberately.
He said: "Master, how much do you need to donate?"
The uncle said, "As you wish."
After Linhan took out a large sum of money from his clothes and purse and put it in the mahogany box next to the uncle, he dragged me away.
On the way, I asked Linhan, "What do you mean by uncle? Why do I always feel like I've been fooled?"
Linhan patted my head and said, "What did you write? Don't say it yet, let me guess."
I took his arm, looked at him expectantly and said, "Then you guess. If you guess wrong, promise me one thing. If you guess right, I promise you one thing."
"Don't go back on your word?" He pinched my waist gently without pain.
"What you say means what you say, now you tell me the answer."
He thought for a while and said, "That won't work, what if you change the answer temporarily?"
"How come, I'm like a fool?? If you don't believe it, look at that piece of sea, how about we write down the answer? "
"Wow."
When we came to the beach, there were not many people, and most of them were people working on the sea.
"Just write here. Turn around, you write yours, I write mine, no peeking." I kept reminding him not to peek, otherwise it won't count.
"Okay, let's start." He took two branches and handed me one.
"I'm starting to count down. When I count to 3, I start writing together. 1, 2, 3."
"Have you finished writing?" We were back to back, waiting for the other party to finish writing. He took my hand and took a step forward.
"You must lose! As I said, we have a good understanding, and I know what you think."
"Then let's see." I still don't believe it, at most he understands me enough, or observes my micro-expression.
We turned around and looked at the wet sand together. There were two Chinese characters in different fonts, with very different styles, but they had the same meaning.
"Xia. I guessed it right!" Linhan wrapped his arms around my waist, bowed his head and kissed my left cheek, showing a cool smile.
"Huh! It must be a random guess." I was a little depressed, but after thinking about it, he should have guessed it, because I like summer.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do. Say it in advance, it hurts nature and reason, and I don't do anything that violates morality."
For a moment, I was really worried that he would say: move the day forward and get down to business tonight. Well, no, I don't think he's that bad either.
He thought for a while, until the sea water washed away the characters we wrote Xia, and then he said, "Xiaer."
He first called me softly, and I responded with a hum, waiting for him to make a request.
He turned my body around to face him, he hugged me with both hands, I felt my feet were off the ground, and quickly supported his shoulders.
His dark brown eyes seemed to contain stars, oceans, mountains and distant waters, they were very bright, and they were too beautiful to die for!
He said: "My request is very simple, that is, you promise me: No matter what happens in the future, you can't abandon me! You can't leave me alone, promise me, stay by my side, always, forever!"
I looked into his eyes, listened to his love words, my brain became dull, I only had a feeling that he was the only one left in the whole world, and I had no choice.
"I will work hard to let you live the happiest life. Maybe all this will come later, but please believe that there will be such a day. Please don't give up on me."
"You forgot our agreement again, equal exchange!"
"Then you promise me now, so I can feel at ease."
"I promise you, I will not leave you. I will always be by your side, whether you are rich or poor, I will always be there, and I will never give up on you." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
