Chapter 113 Fraud

Ling Chu was about to close the stall and go home, but a woman suddenly rushed out of the crowd.

She rushed straight to Ling Chu.

She knelt down with a plop.

She raised her head slightly and begged Ling Chu, "Fairy, please, can you help me find my son?"

Those who originally wanted to take advantage and ask Ling Chu for fortune-telling were unhappy to see someone get ahead of them.

But when they saw the woman's face clearly, they couldn't help but frown.

"Hey, who is it? Isn't this the Madam Yang from Wufangzhai?"

Someone looked at her carefully for a few times and quickly nodded, "It's indeed her."

Hearing that the woman in front of them was the Madam of Wufangzhai, more people began to talk about it.

"I've heard that Madam Yang of Wufangzhai has gone crazy, but I didn't believe it at first. But now I see that the rumor is true."

"I heard that since her son was lost and burned to death during the Lantern Festival, Madam Yang couldn't bear the blow of her son's tragic death and went crazy."

"Some people say that she has not yet accepted the fact that her son died tragically, saying that he was just lost, and now she is still looking for him everywhere every day."

...

Ling Chu heard these discussions and glanced at them sideways.

He turned back again, with a look of surprise.

Is this woman a lunatic?

Why doesn't she look like one?

Although this woman looks disheveled, she clearly sees a trace of clarity in her begging eyes!

Madam Yang may have seen her doubts, and hurriedly said, "Fairy, I'm not crazy. My son is not dead, he just disappeared, I can't find him, please help me, fairy."

Probably afraid that Ling Chu would not be willing to help, Madam Yang rolled up her sleeves, took off the bracelet on her wrist, and handed it over with both hands, "I don't have any silver notes on me, I use this bracelet as divination money, please help me calculate my son's whereabouts."

Madam Yang spoke clearly and did not look crazy.

However, Ling Chu was about to say that she was going to close the stall and go home, and she would come back tomorrow for divination.

But the system rang at this time.

[Ding! Energy stone detected. ]

[Energy stone helps repair the system. ]

[Ding! Request task detected]

[Host, please complete the task and get the energy stone to help repair the system. ]

Seeing these messages, Ling Chu frowned slightly.

What is an energy stone?

Could it be Madam Yang's jade bracelet?

Ling Chu took a few glances and found that the bracelet was of good quality and crystal clear. Especially the watery emerald green, which made people feel a lot cooler in this hot summer.

It turns out that jade can help repair the system. I wonder if the things she put in the system in her previous life can be unsealed after the repair is completed?

Seeing that Ling Chu had been staring at the bracelet without saying anything, Madam Yang thought that she was dissatisfied with the bracelet for not being enough for divination, and said anxiously, "Fairy, as long as you help me find my son, there will be a large reward."

Ling Chu originally planned to close the stall and go home, but since the system had already issued the task, she had to take it.

"No need, this bracelet is enough for divination. Get up, I'll tell you."

Seeing that Ling Chu actually agreed to tell fortunes for this crazy woman, the onlookers tried to dissuade her.

"Nun, Madam Yang's son was burned to death in a fire a long time ago. How to tell fortunes for a dead person?"

"Don't think she looks normal now. I heard that she would beat people when she was crazy."

"Nun, you don't look very healthy. Be careful not to be beaten by this crazy woman."

Some people were worried that Ling Chu would be beaten and kindly persuaded her to stop, but some people thought she was just coveting Madam Yang's bracelet.

"This nun didn't make money from two fortunes before. I'm afraid she saw that Madam Yang was a crazy woman, so she wanted to cheat her bracelet by making a few random remarks."

Ling Chu ignored the comments of others and asked Madam Yang to sit down on the stool, "Tell me your and your son's names and birth dates."

Madam Yang saw that she agreed to tell fortunes for her, and a hint of surprise appeared on her dirty face.

She reached out and picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in ink, and wrote down the names and birth dates on the rice paper.

The onlookers were all surprised. They didn't expect that even though Madam Yang was crazy, she could still write.

But some people didn't think so. "Some crazy people don't go crazy all the time. Madam Yang used to be a well-educated lady. Even if she was crazy, it wouldn't be strange for her to be able to write."

Madam Yang heard the discussion of those people, but she didn't pay attention to it. She just stared at Ling Chu with her eyes.

Ling Chu first took out three incense sticks and lit them, then took out the tortoise shell and copper coins and began to calculate.

"Fairy, what's going on? Is my son still alive?" Seeing Ling Chu staring at the hexagram, Madam Yang was uneasy. She hoped to hear good news, but was afraid of being disappointed again.

Facing Madam Yang's hopeful eyes, Ling Chu smiled and nodded, "Your son is still alive, not dead."

Not dead?

Hearing these two words, Madam Yang seemed to hear the sound of nature.

Her eyes burst into amazing light.

This was great news.

But tears fell continuously like beads with broken strings.

Mrs. Yang was so excited that she choked and cried, but then all kinds of emotions came and filled her chest. She tried to hold it back, but she couldn't hold it back. She covered her face with her hands and cried loudly in public without caring about being rude.

In the past six months, she has been searching everywhere like crazy day and night, and has been disappointed and hit again and again, suffering all kinds of torment.

The abuse from her mother-in-law, the resentment from her husband, the gloating from her concubine, and the ridicule from others almost made her collapse. She was so distressed that she wanted to commit suicide.

But when she thought of her young child who was suffering somewhere, she couldn't even die in peace.

She could only continue to search day by day.

Now she finally saw hope.

Those who watched the excitement originally thought that Madam Yang was a crazy woman who was too stubborn to accept the fact that her son had died for half a year.

But now seeing her crying so sadly, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts.

Madam Yang cried for a while, then quickly wiped her tears and asked in a hoarse voice, "Fairy, since my son is not dead, where is he now?"

"East of the city."

Some people couldn't bear to see Ling Chu cheating a crazy woman for a bracelet, and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "I say, you Taoist nun, you cheated a crazy person like this, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"After the death of Madam Yang's son, she was already deeply shocked. Now you, a Taoist nun, say that her son is not dead. When she finds out that she has been deceived, I'm afraid she can't bear the blow and will go completely crazy."

"These days, even Taoist nuns come out to cheat, which really shows that people's hearts are not as good as they used to be."

Ling Chu didn't want to pay attention to those accusations, but she was repeatedly accused of cheating, and she couldn't help but get angry, "Who said I cheated Madam Yang? The hexagram clearly shows that Madam Yang's son is still alive."

Ling Chu simply packed up his things, stood up, and said to Madam Yang, "Let's go, I'll take you to find your son."
