Chapter 3 [Old lady, you lied to me...]

To be honest, Chen Yan is no longer simply strange and absurd.

Instead, he even has a trace of fear and panic.

Boss Ma looked at Chen Yan intently, and suddenly smiled as if he had understood: "How about this, Mr. Chen Yan, please tell the old lady a message, just say, West Lake Little Ma, I want to meet the old lady, I don't know if I have the luck to do so."

Look at this name, West Lake Little Ma!

"Uh..."

Chen Yan had a lot of questions in his mind, and he carefully organized his words: "The old lady is at home, and our door is never locked. The old men and old ladies in the village have nothing to do and come to visit...If you want to see her, just knock on the door..."

Boss Ma laughed, and then put away his smile.

"Mr. Chen Yan, it's like this. When the old lady met me, she told me one of her rules."

"What rule?"

Boss Ma sighed: "The old lady said that when she tells fortunes for secular people, she can only meet them once."

One encounter?

"It means that she and anyone seeking fortune will only meet once.

After that one time, there will be no second time in this life. She said that wealth and honor are destined by heaven, and if she reveals too much of the secrets, she will shorten her life."

Boss Ma said it very carefully, as if he was trying to choose his words.

A brief encounter?

Reveal the secrets?

Shorten her life?

These are all words from online literature.

No, Boss Ma, are you mistaken?

It is another Boss Ma who invested in the online literature business, not you!

Boss Ma looked a little embarrassed and a little ashamed: "It's like this, the old lady helped me a lot that time! It can be said that she gave me a second life! If it weren't for her advice at the beginning... I'm afraid there would be no Ma today!

In short, after I became successful in my career, I tried many times to ask the old lady to see me again, but I was rejected every time."

As Chen Yan listened, he had a more terrifying thought in his heart...

He heard Boss Ma sigh: "I have indeed encountered some difficulties recently. I have no choice but to ask for an interview again. I just thought that if it doesn't work, I will ask the old lady's family first to ask for face... So, I took the liberty to ask someone to invite you..."

Chen Yan's hand trembled!

Boss Ma was a little embarrassed: "I know that it's a bit unpleasant to say this, and it's even a bit unkind.

My selfishness... Alas, I'm really ashamed to say this! Mr. Chen Yan, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!

I'll drink a glass first!"

Boss Ma was about to raise his glass...

Buzz!

Chen Yan has been confused since he entered the house, and has not recovered from all these absurd things.

At this moment, his mind suddenly exploded! Instantly, a clear idea filled his mind like an explosion.

Chen Yan stood up suddenly!

His mind was a little confused, but his face was expressionless!

If the old lady is not a liar, but a really capable master...

Then...

That prophecy of [Life is about to end]...

Chen Yan's scalp numbs!

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yan's tone was a little wooden: "Sorry, Mr. Ma, I think I have to go home immediately."

Chen Yan rushed out of the door. The man in black outside the door seemed to want to stop him, but Mr. Ma shouted behind him: "Don't stop! Send a car to take Mr. Chen!"

Chen Yan walked out of the door with big strides.

·

The car stopped at the entrance of the village. Chen Yan jumped out of the car and ran back home almost in one breath. When he approached the door, Chen Yan... his legs were a little weak.

This time he was really scared!

The door of the main room was wide open.

The old lady was sitting in the main room, peeling edamame.

I don't know why, seeing this scene, Chen Yan felt a little relieved.

"Are you back?" The old lady looked up at Chen Yan, dropped the edamame in her hand, took a cigarette from the cigarette box on the table, lit it, and took a puff.

"Old lady..." Chen Yan called softly, his voice a little nervous.

The old lady smiled at Chen Yan and said:

"You didn't eat a single bite of that table of food?"

Buzz!

Chen Yan's mind was boiling!

Chen Yan was a little short of breath: "Old lady, do you know?"

The old lady smiled: "I calculated that Boss Ma would definitely look for you, you are not stupid, you will definitely figure this out, and then... you will definitely run back in one breath, right?"

"I..." Chen Yan's voice was a little scared.

"I peeled the edamame this morning and fried it for you at noon, okay?" The old lady's voice at this moment was unusually gentle and kind.

"Grandma..." Chen Yan's voice trembled.

The old lady sighed, put down the things in her hand, walked slowly to Chen Yan's side, and gently stroked Chen Yan's face with a wrinkled hand.

"You usually call me old lady, why do you suddenly call me grandma?"

"I, I'm afraid..."

Chen Yan shivered: "All, all... Is this all true?"

"Well, this is the last time I make it for you. In the future, there will be no such opportunity." The old lady pinched Chen Yan's cheek: "My dear grandson, you have grown up a long time ago. Grandma has to tiptoe to touch your head now."

Plop!

Chen Yan knelt on the ground, looking up at the old lady, his eyes red, his throat so dry that he could hardly make a sound.

"Grandma! All, all is true? Really?"

The old lady touched Chen Yan's hair: "Destiny, it's all destiny. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

How can I not be afraid?

Raised from two years old to twenty-two years old!

Since I can remember...

Without a father or a mother, from childhood to adulthood, the whole world is this old lady in front of me!

"Okay, okay, I'll fry the edamame first."

"I don't want to eat it!"

Chen Yan hugged the old lady's legs tightly: "I just want you not to die! Grandma, don't die, okay? You are very powerful, right? Can't you save yourself?

Didn't you say you can do magic and have magical powers?

Grandma! Don't die, okay?"

The old lady looked down at Chen Yan with a complicated look in her eyes.

She seemed to be hesitant to speak: "Actually... also..."

"Actually what? What?" Chen Yan immediately jumped up from the ground, as if he had found hope: "What do you mean by this? Actually what? Actually... you have a way, right? Right?"

The old lady's tone was a little difficult: "Solution... not that there is no, but it's a little difficult."

"It's difficult but you have to do it! What is the solution?"

The old lady took a deep breath, her face solemn!

"You need three things."

"What do you need? I'll find it right away!"

"First, I need the buds of the highest new branch on the top of the old willow tree at the river head of the village entrance! The willow tree is yin in nature and can communicate yin and yang the most! You need that new bud, peel off the bark, and take the freshest part of it."

"I'll pick it back! What else?"

"Second, go to the ruined temple on the small hill south of the village, and dig out a ground stone at the position of the Tiangang number. The stone must be half black and half white, warm in the hand and cold in the back."

" Okay, I can go dig! What is the third one? "

The old lady looked embarrassed: "The third one... is the most difficult one."

"Say it! Speak it out!"

The old lady looked solemn: "The so-called life extension technique is actually borrowing life! If you want to extend my life, you must find someone close to me. This technique will take away ten years of his life! Chen Yan, do you understand? Ten years of life..."

"I'll give it to you! Not to mention ten years, I'll give you twenty years!" Chen Yan interrupted the old lady without hesitation.

"My dear grandson, grandma really can't bear it, you..."

"I'll pay for your life span!" Chen Yan said firmly, "Willow branches, Yin-Yang Stone! And my ten years of life span? That's all, right?"

"...Yes."

"Okay!" Chen Yan's expression was decisive: "I'll go pick willow branches! I'll go dig stones! Wait for me! I'll find those two things for you!!"

Seeing Chen Yan about to run out, the old lady's eyes flashed with an unusual brilliance: "Well, remember, the willow tree at the head of the village, the number of Tiangang on the hillside south of the village, when you were a child, I taught you how to calculate the number of Tiangang, do you remember?"

"Remember! Remember!" Chen Yan nodded quickly.

The old lady looked at Chen Yan and ran out of the door, with a kind smile on her face.

She turned around, lit another cigarette, took a few puffs silently, looked at the peeled edamame on the table, stood up, and took it into the kitchen.

The fire on the stove was already lit.

…

Chen Yan almost ran to the village head and found the willow tree.

I don’t know how many years this willow tree has been there. I remember playing under this big tree when I was a child.

I remember people in the village said that this tree is probably several decades or even hundreds of years old.

Well, it seems that there is indeed some trick?

Chen Yan climbed up the tree - for a child who grew up in the countryside, climbing trees is not a difficult thing at all.

After climbing up the tree and searching for a long time, he found a lot of fresh and tender new willow branches on the top of the tree.

Not sure which one is the freshest, Chen Yan simply pulled them all down and gathered a big bunch.

After jumping off the tree, Chen Yan put the willow branches in his arms, turned around and ran towards the hillside in the south of the village.

The second thing is the small dilapidated temple on the mountain! Go dig the stones underground!

Maybe he ran too fast. After a few dozen steps, Chen Yan suddenly fell to the ground with a fall. His elbow bleeds a lot, and the willow branches are scattered all over the ground.

Chen Yan jumped up from the ground and started picking up the willow branches on the ground.

But after picking up a few branches, Chen Yan suddenly froze.

He reacted!

No! !

He quickly took out his mobile phone and looked at the time.

The old lady said last night: I still have 18 hours and 43 minutes to live!

It was around 6 o'clock in the evening when she said that.

So, 18 hours and 43 minutes will be pushed back from 6 o'clock last night.

It should be around 1 o'clock in the afternoon today!

The time displayed on the mobile phone...

Noon, 12:57.

There are still three minutes to 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Yan's heart suddenly sank, and he threw away the willow branches in his hand, and Chen Yan ran towards home! !

·

The door was closed.

Chen Yan pushed the door open with force, and the main room was empty.

In the sarong on the table, there was a plate of steaming... edamame fried pork shreds!

Chen Yan's strength seemed to be drained away in an instant. He rushed to the door of the old lady's house in panic and pushed it open.

Chen Yan's legs softened.

Inside the house, the bedding on the grandmother's bed had been replaced with a brand new one.

The old lady was lying on the bed, wearing a funeral dress, red and green, neatly dressed, with her hands crossed on her chest.

The old lady was lying there, her eyes closed, her expression peaceful.

Her smile seemed normal...

But, there is no breath at all.

"Old lady, you lied to me..."

With a plop, Chen Yan knelt on the ground.
