Chapter 972 is here? Do you want to be food? (7)
"Xiao Li, you were right last time. The chicken in my house was indeed stolen by my husband's sister's husband's aunt when she came to my house last time!" The woman's voice was a little excited, and she seemed very surprised by the result.
Not far from the woman, a young man shouted anxiously: "Master Miao, it's your turn to tell my fortune today! When can I get married?" His tone revealed his worry and expectation for the future.
However, another person shouted unwillingly: "No, no, no, I should be the first one today. Taoist Miao promised me yesterday!" There was a hint of dissatisfaction and anxiety in his voice.
For a moment, the people in front of the stall began to argue with each other, refusing to give in. They surrounded the stall, arguing in a chaotic manner.
Next to the stall stood a cloth banner, fluttering in the wind. Atop it was a Bagua pattern, with the words "Master Miao of Yunshen Temple" prominently displayed in the center. Below, the words "Fortune Reading, Fortune Telling, Face Reading, Exorcism" were inscribed. The banner fluttered gently in the breeze, constantly attracting attention.
Amidst the clamor of the crowd, Xing Rong remained silent, her chin resting lazily on her hand as she quietly watched them argue. Occasionally, her eyes swept over those who were arguing fiercely, a faint smile still lingering on the corners of her mouth.
After a while, when Xing Rong felt it was about time, she slowly said, "Only look at those with numbers." Her voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone.
The originally noisy crowd in front of the stall suddenly became quiet, but only for a second, and then it was broken by someone.
The man quickly took out a small piece of paper with a number written on it from his pocket, a smug smile on his face, and then waved the paper in his hand without any concealment, as if showing off something to the people around him.
After doing this, he walked to the stall and lined up in the order of the numbers on the stalls. His behavior was so natural that he seemed to have known the rules by heart.
In contrast, those without numbers seemed somewhat indignant. They stared intently at the person holding the number, their eyes revealing a hint of dissatisfaction. But despite their dissatisfaction, they didn't continue to cause trouble or try to grab the number.
Because they all know Miao Xiaoli's rules.
About two months ago, there were rumors that a female Taoist priest had come down from Yunshen Temple. On her way down, she would stop at each village to treat the sick villagers and help them with divination and predict good and bad luck.
The good deeds of this female Taoist priest made her famous and she was praised by many people. Those who had received her help were full of praise for her, and some even said that she was sent by the gods to help them.
When the female Taoist priest arrived in Yundong Town, people were surprised to find that the highly praised female Taoist priest had just returned home from the mountain. Her real identity was the daughter of a local merchant named Miao Yicheng.
The common people and the town's dignitaries who received the news all wanted to visit her, but they gave up the idea when they were told that she would set up a stall at the market every day after a few days of rest and open at noon.
When setting up the stall, she also stipulated that she would only receive ten people who had received numbers the day before, and that she would absolutely not allow anyone to snatch other people's numbers through any improper means, otherwise she would refuse to receive them in the future.
The status of Taoist priests is extremely high in people's hearts, so everyone is very obedient and said that they will strictly abide by her rules.
As usual, Xing Rong handed the prepared talismans to the last person, "Uncle Liu, stick these talismans on all the inner walls of your house. Don't miss a single one. This way, Aunt Liu won't have nightmares at night, and your family will be safe and sound from now on."
Uncle Liu accepted the talisman, his heart filled with gratitude and respect. He quickly counted it and found that the number matched the number of all the interior walls of his house, which made him admire this young but capable Miao Xiaoli even more.
After distributing the ten numbers for the next day, everyone at the stall left one after another. Just as Xing Rong was about to leave, a large hand suddenly reached out in front of her. "Master Miao, could you please help me calculate?"
