With the voices of people coming and going, the excitement in some restaurants and shops on the street rang in Lian Ge's ears.
Listening to some voices and rustling sounds in his ears, Lian Ge sat on the bench by the street, watching some scenes on the street and some pedestrians passing by.
Next to him, the old man sitting on the other side of the bench, still hunched over, raised his head, looking in front of him, a little dazed,
Some of the lights reflected in the shops facing the street are also reflected in the old man's cloudy eyes,
From time to time, the old man turned his head again to look at the people passing by on the street around him, then raised his head to look at the sky above him, and then looked back and forth at some people passing by on the street,
He didn't ask Lian Ge how long he had to wait, but just continued to wait.
……
"...At this time, it is the time to make money. There are many people passing by during the day. Although it is lively, it is not good for fortune-telling to be too lively... It must be not too early or too late... after dinner , and I have nothing else to do, so it is easy to stop here... Do you think this is the reason..."
At the corner of the street, under the trees beside the street,
The branches and leaves of the trees covered the light from some street lamps, casting some shadows on the street.
Sitting under the shadow of the tree branches and leaves, two old fortune-tellers still set up a fortune-telling booth,
The old fortune-teller who spoke before sat behind the fortune-telling booth, watching the people coming and going on the street, and bragging,
Beside, the old fortune-teller next to him just smiled and didn't answer any more.
"...This is fortune-telling. One is to judge people, and the other is to judge fate..."
The fortune-teller old man who spoke continued.
……
"...Girl, please ask, have you seen the child in the photo?"
At this moment, passing the corner at the end of the street, there were another burst of voices on that somewhat deserted street.
Sitting on the bench, looking at the bustling street in front of him again, Lian Ge turned his gaze to that side.
Next to him, the old man who was sitting hunched up, kept turning his gaze, and looked back and forth on the street, also stopped his gaze when he saw that place, and straightened up a bit.
Under the shade of the tree at the corner, behind the two fortune-telling booths, the two fortune-telling old men also turned their heads to that side one after another,
The old fortune-teller who had been talking before was looking there, with some excitement in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up, and the old god was sitting on the ground behind the booth.
That is the street that Lian Ge and the old man walked through when they came, and the intersection is facing the other side of the past,
On the other side of the street, an old couple hunched over and stopped on the side of the street.
The old man in the old couple supported his wife, and the old lady held a photo in her hand and passed it forward, asking a middle-aged woman passing by.
Glancing at the old couple on the other side of the street, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the fortune-telling booth under the shade of the trees.
Withdrawing his gaze, he looked at the old couple's side of the street again,
"...Sorry, I haven't seen it before."
The middle-aged woman passing by listened to the old lady's words, stopped, lowered her head, and looked at the photo carefully.
Shaking his head again, he said,
"The child is missing, have you called the police?"
The middle-aged woman paused, and asked again.
"...it was my granddaughter... who got lost while traveling here. It has been six years..."
The old lady listened to the middle-aged woman's words, fell silent for a while, and responded loudly,
"... Please let the girl take a look again, see if you have seen a child with similar eyebrows and eyes nearby..."
After a pause, the old lady handed over the photos in her hand and asked aloud.
"...I'm sorry, I'm just here for a trip... You should find some shops and ask, maybe they have seen it..."
"……thanks……"
The middle-aged woman shook her head again and said aloud.
The old lady listened, fell silent again, and thanked her again.
The middle-aged woman didn't say anything more, and then walked forward.
The old lady stood in place with the old man, paused again,
Slowly lowering her head, the old lady looked at the photo in her hand,
Silently, with the thumb of the other hand, he gently rubbed the photo,
Gradually paused, the old lady put down her hand.
"Let's go ahead and ask."
The old lady spoke again.
The old man supporting the old woman just nodded silently, then helped the old woman to move forward.
……
"gentlemen……"
Looking at the old couple walking towards this street, it seems that they heard the old couple's words,
The old man sitting on the other side of the bench straightened up a bit, raised his head, and looked towards that side,
Then turned around, looked at Lian Ge, opened his mouth, seemed to want to ask something, but paused again, just said aloud,
"...Is that old couple the one the previous couple was looking for?"
Asked, the old man turned around again, turned his somewhat muddy eyes, and looked at the old couple walking towards this side.
Hearing the sound, Lian Ge turned his gaze to the old man,
The old man's eyes were somewhat cloudy, with a look of hope, but also a little fear,
I don't know if I am afraid that the old couple is, or that the old couple is not.
"Correct."
Lian Ge paused his gaze, then looked at the old couple again.
That old couple was exactly the person in the photo handed over by the looking couple.
But, compared to that photo,
The old couple lost their smiles and looked haggard.
The old lady who was supported by the old man staggered a little, and her hand holding the photo trembled, but she still held the photo tightly.
His face looks haggard, with more wrinkles and ravines than in the photo, his white hair has not been combed much, and looks messy.
The clothes he was wearing were not well cared for and were full of wrinkles.
The old man who supported the old lady also had a haggard face and a slightly thin and emaciated body.
Most of the time, he was silent, just supporting his wife as he walked forward, and when he met someone asking, he only cast some eyes on the person being questioned.
"...The two big brothers, the big sister is looking for someone..."
The old man supported the old lady, and the old lady moved her feet forward in a faltering manner.
Walked past the corner of that street, walked into this street, and walked past the fortune-telling booth under the shade of the tree at the corner,
The old fortune teller with the old god was sitting behind the booth, and said aloud, calling the old couple to stop.
The old couple paused, turned their heads, and looked at the old fortune-teller behind the booth.
Turning some turbid eyes, looking at the fortune-telling booth on the floor, the old man among the old couple nodded.
"... Looking for a child?"
The old fortune-teller spoke again.
The old couple paused again, turned around, and walked towards the fortune-telling booth.
Chapter 977
"Has Master met my granddaughter?"
The old man supported the old lady, and the old couple walked to the fortune-telling booth.
The old fortune-teller who called to stop the old couple was still sitting there,
The old fortune-teller next to him turned his head to look at it, then turned his head back again, busy with his own affairs.
"...Big Brother, Big Sister sits first."
Waiting for the old couple to open their mouths to ask, the old fortune-teller who was sitting with the old god spoke again.
"Thank you master."
The old lady lowered her head and looked at the few low stools in front of the fortune-telling booth.
Thank you, but just shook his head, did not sit down,
"...has the master seen my granddaughter?"
Raising her head again, the old lady handed the photo in her hand to the old fortune-teller with the old god, looked at the old fortune-teller, and asked again.
The old man supporting the old lady also raised his head and looked at the old fortune-teller.
"Looking at the little girl's face, she must have been lost for many years, right?"
The old fortune-teller stretched his head over to look around, then sat back on his body, and spoke again with the old god still in his presence.
The old couple listened silently and just nodded.
Lifting his head, the old fortune-teller looked at the old couple, and seemed to see that they were not talking, so he paused.
Then he continued aloud,
"...The two of you are also people who love your granddaughter dearly. It's rare to find them so persistently after being lost for so many years. I'm afraid it's just parents who have lost their children for so many years, and it's hard to keep looking for them..."
Observing the expressions of the old couple and turning their eyes, the old fortune-teller said every sentence.
It's just that the old couple were silent and didn't speak aloud.
"...The hearts of Big Brother and Big Sister are really admirable...It is also fate to meet you two today."
"...Let me make a divination for you two, see if there is any enlightenment, and it can be regarded as helping the big brother and the big sister."
The old fortune-teller stopped talking while talking, and just looked at the old couple again.
The old couple stood in front of the fortune-telling booth, hunched over,
The shadows of the branches and leaves of the trees on the fortune-telling booth reflected in the light reflected on the old couple.
He squeezed his hands together, took back the photos he handed out, and remained silent for a while.
The old lady just nodded,
"... I'm sorry to bother you, Master."
The old lady spoke aloud, then fell silent.
"...Don't bother, don't bother."
There was a smile in the eyes of the old fortune-teller, but he quickly restrained himself and answered,
He stretched out his hand again, as if counting, his lips moved slightly, as if murmuring some vague words, and looked at the old couple again and again.
Holding the photo in his hand, the old man helped the old lady to stand in front of the booth,
He raised his gaze a little more, and remained silent, looking at the fortune-teller old man,
She didn't make a sound, and the expression on her face didn't change, but the hand of the old lady holding the photo was still tight.
"...I'm sorry, Lao Dao's hexagram skills are really limited. I'm afraid I haven't figured out anything useful."
The old fortune-teller pinched his fingers again, muttered for a while, then stopped, looked at the couple, shook his head first, and then said aloud,
"...It's just a calculation, there is a thread left in the sky, luck is in the heart... That is to say, Big Brother and Big Sister continue to search according to the current path, and one day they will find it..."
The old fortune-teller was talking, and then sat back with the old god present.
Listening to the fortune-teller's words, the old man and the old lady were silent for a while,
