When eating hot pot that day, Luo Luo said that he recently went to Laojun Cave.

"What are you doing in Laojun Cave?" Dongzi was very surprised, he was busy fishing for duck intestines.

"Ask for a lottery, isn't it that I'm going to marry Lingling?" Luo Luo answered him, "Lingling wants to go, she said that Laojundong is very accurate in asking for a lottery, and I think it's very accurate after I'm done."

"Looking at his expression, this must be the top lottery." Zhang Rui said with a smile.

"Of course I hope that we will be together for a hundred years." Luo Luo took a sip of his wine and smiled happily, "I wish you my wish come true."

"Luo Luo is going to get married, ah, I'm the only one left." Dongzi shouted, he was the youngest.

"Isn't there Xia Yang accompanying you?" Luo Luo laughed, Xia Yang, who was named, looked confused, so he was talking to Lu Chuanhuan just now.

Lu Chuanhuan glanced at them, and didn't join their conversation. Instead, he called the waiter: "Ma'am, let's add another serving of iced glutinous rice balls and glutinous glutinous rice."

"Yang Yang, you eat too fast." Dongzi saw the empty bowls in front of Xia Yang and Lu Chuanhuan, "I remember Brother Lu doesn't like to eat, why do you eat so fast?"

"Stupid you, Brother Lu gave Xia Yang's." Luo Luo patted his forehead, then poured all the pot of yellow throat in his hand into the pot.

"Our Yang Yang is still young, what's the rush?" Lu Chuanhuan took a leisurely sip of coconut juice.

"Brother Lu, you are really good at protecting babies." Dongzi looked at him with disgust.

Lu Chuanhuan slowly moved his arm around the back of the chair, then lightly tapped Xia Yang's shoulder with his fingers, and narrowed his eyes on purpose: "I am willing."

"But I remember that there is a fortune teller in Laojun Cave who is very good at telling fortunes." Zhang Rui said.

"Brother Rui actually knows this?" Dongzi raised his eyebrows.

"Please, Laojun Cave is not far from my shop. I always heard about it when I was looking at the shop." Zhang Rui fished out the fat cow and rolled it into the oil dish, "Also, my grandma also believes in this. It wasn't for Xia Yang before, what kind of master did you invite?"

So everyone went to see Xia Yang.

"It happened when I was a child." Xia Yang was taken aback, his expression a little embarrassed.

"Why?" Dongzi looked curious.

It happened that the iced glutinous rice balls were brought up, and Lu Chuanhuan took them and put them in front of Xia Yang, saying, "If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."

His expression was still casual, but his tone was very serious.

"It's nothing. I was in poor health when I was a child, and I couldn't find anything when I went to the hospital. My grandma was very worried, so I asked some kind of master to tell the fortune. It's very mysterious." Xia Yang smiled.

"Just listen to it as a story. The master is said to be very spiritual. He took a look at me and asked my grandma, has this little baby been flooded?"

"When you were a child, you were fond of falling into the river?" Zhang Rui asked him.

"Yes." Xia Yang lowered his head and scooped a spoonful of iced glutinous rice balls into his mouth. The glutinous rice balls made by this shop are very chewy, and the brown sugar water is sweet, Xia Yang likes it very much.

"This was all he said. Of course, grandma was taken aback, so she told the master the truth. Then the master pointed at my forehead and said something. That's right. The doll's soul fell into the river a little bit. So you're not healthy."

While talking, Xia Yang also imitated the master Trump. At that time, Xia Yang was seven years old, but he was smart since he was a child, and he almost has a photographic memory, so he has a deep memory of that day.

Grandma was terribly nervous when she heard this, and asked, "What should I do then?"

The master said calmly: "It doesn't matter, let the doll play outside more, and put it under the sun for a few more times, so as to wash away the yin in the water."

"What about the lost soul?" Grandma was still worried.

The master reached out and dipped water in Xia Yang's palm and drew a talisman. His expression suddenly became serious. Xia Yang remembered that the beads on his hand had a very heavy fragrance, which made Xia Yang wrinkle his nose. Then he heard The master said: "There is no solution for the lost soul. Among the five elements, water has the most fluidity, but water has no roots, so this child's life is very wandering. It is easy to resolve it. I will ask him a talisman. You Bury the replaced tooth with the talisman under the tree and cut it, preferably an old tree, and you can lend him some roots."

The master took Xia Yang's hand to look again, pointed at the marriage line and sighed: "It's a pity, he is a fickle lover, I don't know if this tree can tie his heart or not."

At that time, Xia Yang was still young, so he thought it was a charlatan talking nonsense. He had watched a lot of Science and Education Channel at that time, and when he returned home that day, he wanted to give grandma an anti-cult propaganda.

Nearly 20 years have passed, but this day is firmly stuck in Xia Yang's memory, as if to remind him of something.

Xia Yang told this incident as a story. He didn't think there was anything difficult to tell, but he still concealed the fact that the master said he was a lover.

"So you changed your name because of this?" Zhang Rui suddenly realized after listening.

"Grandma insisted on changing it at that time. She said that the ocean is not good, and the soul is thrown into the water. It is unlucky to still have water in the name." Xia Yang smiled helplessly.

"It's strange. My mother actually supported grandma at that time. It may be because my father was outside all the time, so my mother didn't want me to really obey the master's words and have a wandering life."

Xia Yang thought of his mother's face on the eve of his departure, it was the real worry, Xia Yang's luggage was rearranged by his mother, every inch of space was used, and there were so many instructions, she was always afraid of missing something, Will let my son take a little more detours.

But at that time, Xia Yang was a child who was eager to prove that he could be independent. He didn't understand the sadness in his mother's eyes, and he didn't understand the regret and regret hidden in his mother's sigh "You and your father are both wanderers". deep meaning.

The tree that was borrowed before was bulldozed because of road construction after Xia Yang went to junior high school, and grandma felt very distressed.After all, it is true that since looking for that master, Xia Yang's health has improved, his mind has become smarter, and he has become a well-known child from other people's family.

However, Xia Yang never believed the words of charlatans, and he was reluctant to change his name, but his mother's surname was Yang, and Xia Yang finally compromised.When he introduced his name in elementary school, he said, "My father's surname is Xia, and my mother's surname is Yang. I am the crystallization of their love, so I am called Xia Yang."

He has been smart and good-looking since he was a child, and he can use high-end vocabulary like "crystallization", which makes the children in the class envious.

But this name became his scar after he learned that his parents divorced. He thought that what was hidden in his name should be the love of his parents, but in fact it was just wishful thinking.A bright kid like him is precocious and sensitive, but also very proud.So even if he found clues that his parents had actually separated, he was unwilling to admit it.

Until the truth was laid bare in front of him, it turned out that his parents, who he thought distance could not stop love, had separated a long time ago and each had a new family.

He was named after his parents' surname, but in the end he became the most redundant of the three.

So he came out with his father almost in anger, just to get revenge for the two of them hiding it for so many years.

The father was really angry and moved his hands that day. He pointed at Xia Yang's nose and cursed: "I think you really lost your soul! Are you still my son!"

Xia Yang felt dazed at that moment.

How did you really hit the spot with that charlatan?

"In fact, the word Yang is also very good." Lu Chuanhuan said, he didn't look at Xia Yang, but looked at the direction of Luo Luo and Dongzi, "Yang actually means the sun, and half of it used to be written as 昜, and 昜 is the same Positive."

Lu Chuanhuan dipped his fingertips in water and slowly wrote the word "昜" on the table.

"Rising Sun Tanggu is 昜, and Tanggu is the place where the sun rises according to legend." Lu Chuanhuan spoke slowly.

"Brother Lu, you actually know this?" Dongzi looked at him in surprise.

"That's why it took a lot of effort to name Tongtong." Lu Chuanhuan smiled and changed the topic.

"Brother Lu has a good name, and Lingling and I will also hand over my children to Brother Lu." Luo Luo made up his mind.

Lu Chuanhuan slowly made a gesture of three with his hands, and then said, "One word is three thousand."

"Damn, where's your conscience?" Luo Luo waved his hands in disgust.

"What's Tongtong's real name?" Xia Yang asked curiously.

"Lu Yutong." Zhang Rui answered him.

"Is it raining on the sycamore tree? It sounds beautiful." Xia Yang praised sincerely.

"Some people think it's too desolate for the torrential rain to hit the phoenix tree." Lu Chuanhuan smiled.

"Speaking of which, Brother Lu will be my best man when the time comes." Luo Luo said.

"What kind of best man should I be?" Lu Chuanhuan picked up two pieces of pumpkin for Xia Yang, and then said to Luo Luo, "You can let Dongzi and Xia Yang be the best man."

The pumpkin cooked in the butter hot pot is full of flavor, sweet and spicy, and soft.As soon as Xia Yang finished eating a piece of pumpkin, Luo Luo made a decision: "That's right, Yang Yang Dongzi, please."
