Chapter 30 Someone is coming
Hearing this, Xu Luo's face was filled with a bitter smile, and he waved his hands helplessly: "Brother Liu, you know I'm joking, making a lot of money?
I can barely make ends meet now, if I don’t do this, where else can I go?” He said with a hint of self-mockery.

"You disappeared without a trace these few days, but someone is thinking about you!"

Wang Fu deliberately dragged out his voice, as if hinting at something.

Xu Luo was stunned and became curious: "Oh? Who are they?" He couldn't help but recall that apart from Lao Li who often came to chat with him, there seemed to be no one else.

Wang Fu replied seriously, "Several people who looked like servants came to see you two or three times."

After hearing this, Xu Luo immediately began to calculate with a serious expression. His fingers nimbly moved through the air, but he didn't expect the hexagram to become more and more dangerous, which made him frown.

He knew that he was good at both prophecy and divination, and he was using the latter to try to decipher this ominous hexagram. However, the more he calculated, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Brother Liu, could you lend me three copper coins?" Xu Luo suddenly asked.

Wang Fu was straightforward. Without saying anything, he took out three copper coins from his pocket and handed them to him: "Copper coins? Take them. Why bother asking whether to lend them or not?"

Xu Luo was fiddling with three copper coins at a stall in the busy city. He was skilled in his movements and muttering to himself, as if seeking guidance from fate.

Suddenly, he shook his wrist and the copper coin flew out, landing on the table with a clang. He looked carefully and his expression gradually became solemn.

"Another bad omen?" he muttered in a low voice.

Wang Fu, who was standing next to him, was confused and scratched his head: "Brother Xu, are you calculating your own fortune?"

Xu Luo seemed to be answering but not really answering, just nodded slightly.

Just as the two were confused, a faint fragrance wafted over, and a figure appeared in front of the stall with a chuckle.

The woman was about seventeen years old, wearing an elegant long dress, with spring in the corners of her eyes and cherry lips. She came with two maids and sat lightly opposite Xu Luo.

"Sir, are you the legendary fortune teller?" She spoke mischievously, with a hint of teasing in her eyes.

Xu Luo replied calmly: "Fortune telling costs five cents, marriage prediction costs ten cents, and fortune telling costs twenty cents."

Hearing this, the woman smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, her eyebrows and eyes curved, like flowers blooming in spring water, extremely moving.

"Sir, you are really humorous. You are so young and yet you set up a stall here. I wonder who your master is?" There was a stronger sense of sarcasm in her words.

Xu Luo looked up and saw that the woman had skin as white as cream and a long neck, like an elegant swan.

She stroked her hair gently and had a slender waist. Even when she was sitting, one could feel the temptation that was inadvertently revealed.

The elegant lady walked gracefully, dressed in silk and satin, like a daughter of a noble family.

The two maids following behind her looked nervous, scanning the surroundings like radar, fearing that something might go wrong.

At this moment, Xu Luo suddenly spoke, breaking the apparent tranquility.

"Miss, your road to marriage is probably full of thorns!" Xu Luo said earnestly, "If you are not careful, you might even lose your life. You must be extremely careful."

When the woman heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her bright eyes, then she stopped teasing and her expression became serious.

She asked anxiously, "Sir, what do you mean by that? Can you tell me in detail?" Xu Luo sighed and looked at the young lady with complicated eyes. Her skin was whiter than snow, her nose was slightly upturned, and she looked quite pitiful. "Young lady, you have been weak since childhood, and you are always sick, right?" he asked.

The woman nodded hurriedly, her hair swaying gently, falling on her shoulders like a waterfall. "Sir, you are right. I have been weak and sick since I was young. Fortunately, a Taoist priest from Mount Zhongnan came to help me and cured my illness."

"That's right." Xu Luo said slowly, "You were supposed to encounter a disaster when you were twelve years old. If you can survive it, you will be safe and sound. Otherwise, you will die.

But the Taoist helped you change your fate, making it harder, and showing the sign of being able to conquer others and yourself. Only if you escape this disaster again, can you spend your life with the one you love, otherwise, you will be harmed by him.

During this process, the woman's lips trembled slightly, revealing her uneasiness, and her upright breasts rose and fell with her rapid breathing, which added a bit of temptation.

Xu Luo's face was stern, and he spoke a series of prophecies in a clear and loud voice. The air around him seemed to freeze. The young lady's eyes widened, her face full of fear, and she obviously believed Xu Luo's words.

At this time, the maid behind her curled her lips with disdain: "Miss, don't listen to his nonsense here. Look at his appearance, he is probably a quack. Let's go quickly!"

Another maid also responded, and the two of them talked back and forth like two quarreling sparrows.

Xu Luo smiled helplessly and turned his gaze to the young lady. She was sitting there with a face as heavy as water.

He cleared his throat and continued, "If you trust me, you'd better stay at home today and don't go out."

As soon as these words were spoken, the young lady trembled all over, as if blown by a gust of cold wind.

She looked at Xu Luo steadily, slowly stood up, took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to him: "Thank you for your advice, sir. I will take my leave first." After that, she hurried away with the maids.

Someone nearby looked at the two maids' backs and grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Humph, these two girls are so arrogant. If it weren't for Brother Xu's sake, I would have to teach them a lesson!"

The young lady walked lightly, her waist swayed gracefully, her hair fluttered gently in the wind, and every turn she made revealed a hint of unintentional temptation.

Her crystal earlobes, slightly rosy lips, and slender neck all reveal a beauty that is heart-stirring.

Looking at the figure of the woman gradually disappearing on the street, Wang Fu had a trace of contempt on his face and kept cursing.

Xu Luo just smiled lightly at this, knowing in his heart that Wang Fu's temper was just bluffing.

How could an ordinary farmer, a man who makes a living from the fields, dare to stand up in the face of real crisis?

In this era, although farmers have a high status, they still seem insignificant in front of those officials and businessmen.

As Xu Luo's gaze followed the woman as she blended into the crowd, he couldn't help but sigh deeply, feeling a little helpless about her unpredictable fate.

"Alas, some things are destined by fate and cannot be avoided." Xu Luo shook his head and said.

Wang Fu approached with a skeptical look on his face: "Brother Xu, can you really believe these mysterious words of yours?"

He secretly complained that this guy must have acquired his eloquence when he was setting up a fortune-telling stall. If he guessed right, he would be considered a genius, but if he guessed wrong, the worst that could happen was that people would throw some rotten eggs at him.

Xu Luo was not in a hurry, and looked at Wang Fu with a smile in his eyes: "Brother Liu, did your sister-in-law scold you for getting up late this morning?"
