"To be honest, I have been living in vain for decades. When I was a child, I grew up in a rural area. I often heard horrific rumors of this kind, but I have never seen one so far.
I was very curious when I received such news, but now that the new country has a new climate, the control in this area is stricter. Even if you see it, you must treat it as if you haven’t seen it. Do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Botong looked at the calm Jiang in front of him and said to Feng Yi.
Feng nodded. It was not difficult to understand what the other party said, so he naturally understood.
But what he didn't understand was why the other party confided in him, was it just for the sake of saving his life?
When he asked the doubts in his heart, Gu Botong smiled and said, "You saved me for one reason only. Isn't this the end of our conversation?"
Feng Yi curled his lips and said, "Who are you trying to fool? If you don't take the initiative to mention this, I won't know where to go."
"Okay, Feng Yi, you are a smart person, I know I can't scare you."
Gu Botong shook his head and laughed, then lowered his voice and said: "Actually, when the country arranged for me to come here, I always felt that something was going to happen, and I was always uneasy.
Later, when my wife saw that I was having trouble sleeping and eating, she took it upon herself to hire a fortune teller who was very famous in the past."
oh?
Feng Yi raised his eyebrows.
A fortune teller is someone who reads people's fortunes. Most of what they learn comes from "Divination of the Book of Changes". A lot of what Maoshan learned also came from this book. To put it more broadly, it comes from the same vein.
However, Feng Yi has no talent in this area and has no interest in learning, but he can look up to those who can learn these skills.
"This fortune teller is nearly seventy years old. He has white beard and hair, but he is in good spirits. His skin is as smooth as a baby. He must have learned some secret skin care techniques.
However, since the country has banned this practice, he rarely helps people read their faces.
My wife has a friend who has an old relationship with him, and he just got out of the business."
After a few words of introduction, Gu Botong said frankly: "Actually, I don't care much about Feng Shui physiognomy. There are a lot of deceptions and frauds, so I was quite rude when this physiognomist first came here.
But when he met me for the first time and told me a secret that even my wife didn't know, I panicked. It happened when I was young, except for my deceased parents and a few very close people.
You know, there is no one else.
Nowadays, these people are so confused that no one will deliberately spread this matter, so I believe most of them."
Gu Botong didn't introduce much about his youth, and Feng Yi didn't ask any more questions. Everyone has secrets, especially him.
Like the matter of time travel, he didn't even mention it to Uncle Jiu and Ren Tingting because it was too difficult for people to accept.
So Gu Botong didn't mention it, and Feng Yi was happy to be at ease.
"Later, this fortune teller said that my trip to the south would bring many disasters, and it would be a combination of bad luck and bad luck.
My wife was horrified when she heard this and kept urging me to resign. The problem is that this matter was arranged by the leadership. You have already agreed but you have repeated it. You will definitely not be able to explain it clearly by then, and you may even be punished.
Later, the fortune teller said that although this trip will be full of disasters, a noble person will take action at the critical moment. He said that this noble person is beyond words, and with his help, I will definitely be able to return safely..."
When Gu Botong said this, he looked at Feng Yiyi: "Feng Yi, actually before the boat capsized, I had already experienced fires, robberies, falling off the carriage and other disasters."
When Feng Yi heard this, he almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, isn't it? Brother, are you riddled with bad luck? It's so miserable.
"The previous disasters seemed dangerous, but in the end they were easily resolved. I think what the fortune teller said came true.
And it was you who saved me from this inevitable death."
Gubotong said seriously.
"It just happened to me."
Feng Yi didn't want to be burdened with the reputation of being a noble person.
"The more chance it is, the more it proves that you are my noble one."
Gu Botong once again cast his eyes on the river and said: "You know, after experiencing so many disasters before, I have already guessed that this trip across the river will not be easy.
Sure enough, according to the fisherman, there had been no trouble in the river for more than ten years and it had always been very gentle. But just now, a rare dragon whirlpool appeared and overturned the boat.
What's even more outrageous is that the fisherman and I were both sucked into the whirlpool. We both know how to swim, but he could swim through easily, but I was trapped and couldn't move and could only wait to die.
If it hadn't been for your rescue, I would have died at the bottom of the river. Doesn't this prove anything?"
Well……
After hearing what the other party said, Feng Yi scratched his face and said: "If you want to say that, it seems that I really fit it."
"It's more than just that..."
Gu Botong stared at Feng Daodao with sharp eyes: "I looked around before taking the boat, but there was no sign of anyone. When the boat sailed into the river, I didn't see anyone coming or going.
But a few seconds after the boat capsized, you swam next to me. Feng Yi, where did you come from?
Could it be that you have been swimming in this river before, but I have never seen anyone wearing clothes while swimming."
Feng Yi was speechless when he heard this.
When he came out from the bottom of the river, Gu Botong fell into the water. It seems that the so-called dragon whirlpool was also caused by him opening the boulder.
Because of him, Gubotong almost drowned, and it was impossible for him not to save him.
But what he didn't expect was that the other party observed him so carefully.
"Of course, I didn't say this to get any answers. After the fortune teller said those words to me, I knew that there are still many things in this world that science cannot explain."
Gu Botong withdrew his eyes and said slowly: "But I already believe that you are the noble person the fortune teller said.
Feng Yi, I don’t know your identity or your origin, and I won’t explore it.
I just want to say that I am only in my forties this year. I have an elderly mother and a child who is still underage. To be honest, I really don’t want to die for this matter.
So I tell you the purpose of this trip. I hope you will help people to the end, send Buddha to the West, and accompany me on this trip.
If you want any help afterwards, I will do my best, do you think that's okay?"
When the conversation came to this point, Feng Yiduan had no reason to refuse. The other party spoke sincerely and knew how to advance and retreat. He seemed to be a smart man.
You don’t need to worry too much when dealing with smart people, because the other person will solve your worries and concerns in advance.
In addition, zombies were originally causing trouble. Feng Yi also wanted to see if there was any difference between zombies in new China and zombies in the old society.
"Professor Gu, you don't need to say anything anymore, I am willing to accompany you on this trip."
Feng Yi opened his mouth and said.
Gu Botong's face was filled with unspeakable joy and he said, "Then I'll thank you first."
"The top priority is to find another boat to cross the river, right?"
Feng Yi asked with a smile.
"Well, if we take the mountain road, I'm afraid we will have to go around dozens of kilometers longer. Let's go back to the village in front to find a boat."
