The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

A closer look revealed that Zhou Jia was indeed under the crooked tree. It was because of the crooked tree that Zhou Jia and another lifeguard were not washed away. Zhou Jia held onto another lifeguard with one hand and firmly grasped the branches of the crooked tree with the other. In order to save people, she no longer had the strength to climb up. She was grateful to the tree. Fortunately, it was a crooked tree and its branches hung in the river. If it were not a crooked tree, she would have been washed away.

There was a crisp snap. It wasn't as noticeable amid the sound of the flowing water, but for Zhou Jia, it was like a heart skipping a beat. Yes, it was the sound of a branch snapping.

"This is death," Zhou Jia thought. Although this was already a tributary, the heavy rains of the past few days had filled the entire river with water, making it full and rhythmic, and even the tributaries were surging. To the exhausted Zhou Jia, this was not the rhythm of the river, but the rhythm of death.

Li Wei saw that the branch Zhou Jia was holding on to was broken, so he took two steps at a time, rushed over, and grabbed Zhou Jia's arm. If he was a second later, Zhou Jia would not be able to come back.

With the help of Li Wei and the rescue team, Zhou Jia and another team member were rescued. Zhou Jia, who escaped death, sat in the ambulance, still in shock.

"Zhou Jia, call your grandma." Li Wei stretched out his hand and handed the mobile phone he had picked up on the ground to Zhou Jia.

"Did my grandma call me?" Zhou Jia took the phone with a puzzled look on his face.

"Yes, and I feel that there is a very powerful person around your grandmother. I heard that she asked me to go to the Crooked Tree to find you." Li Wei looked at Zhou Jia and said.

A powerful person? I've never heard of powerful people around my grandma. Zhou Jia was even more confused, but no matter what, she wanted to let her grandma know that she was safe.

Less than half an hour had passed since the whole incident happened, and Zhao Guimei was sitting in front of Shu Wanwan's fortune-telling stall in a daze, like a fool. She didn't know how she could save her granddaughter. During the rare Dragon Boat Festival holiday, her son and daughter-in-law went out to travel together. At this time, they were on the plane and the phone could not be reached. She was an old woman, helpless and scared.

The neighbors next door were also whispering.

"I know Old Zhao's granddaughter. She's the rowing athlete."

"Yeah, how could a rower get into trouble in the water?"

"Yeah, don't rowers know how to swim?"

"Aunt Zhao is so pitiful. It seems her granddaughter hasn't even gotten married yet. It's such a pity that something happened to her."

When these words reached Zhao Guimei's ears, the old man, who was originally stunned, stood up suddenly.

"Don't talk nonsense, my granddaughter is fine." Although she said this, Zhao Guimei was still unsure. After hearing what Zhao Guimei said, everyone shut up, and the originally lively small square suddenly became quiet.

"Today is a good day. Everything you wish for will come true..." The cheerful cell phone rang, which was really incongruous with the solemn atmosphere.

Zhao Guimei quickly picked up the phone and looked at the display - Jia Jia, it was her granddaughter calling. "Hello." Zhao Guimei answered the call with both anticipation and trepidation.

"Grandma." Zhou Jia's voice came from the receiver.

"Jia Jia, Jia Jia, you're okay, Jia Jia..." The originally listless old lady suddenly became energetic, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

"Yes, grandma, I'm fine now. I'm going to the hospital to check if there are any other problems. Grandma, I heard from Li Wei that it was the master around you who saved me."

"Master, yes, yes, Jiajia."

"Grandma, I'll tell you when I get back. I'm at the hospital now. Don't worry. I'll be back later."

Zhao Guimei hung up the phone and looked at Shu Wanwan with gratitude, "Thank you, little master. Without you, our Jiajia would..." When she said this, Zhao Guimei choked up.

"Young Master, look at me... I don't have any money with me." Zhao Guimei calmed down, stretched out the old mobile phone in her hand, and looked at Shu Wanwan with embarrassment.

"It's okay." Shu Wanwan smiled faintly.

Before Shu Wanwan finished speaking, Zhao Guimei hurriedly said, "It's okay, little master. I'll go home and get the money for you. How can I let you tell my fortune for free? Just wait for me." Zhao Guimei knew that this was a capable master who saved her granddaughter's life. Let alone two thousand, she would be willing to pay even two hundred thousand. How could she let the master tell my fortune for free? She stood up happily and walked quickly home.

Shu Wanwan looked at Zhao Guimei's back and thought to herself, "I didn't say I wouldn't charge you."

Shu Wanwan had originally intended for Zhao Guimei to go home and get it. Fortune-telling, by altering the trajectory of events, carries with it the consequences of karma. Furthermore, Shu Wanwan accepted the money partly to help the inquirer bear the consequences, but also because she was truly broke!!! Without money, she couldn't even afford food!! Why act so noble now!!!

Shu Wanwan sat up straight, still smiling and waiting, looking around for the next person to ask questions. At this time, Shu Wanwan's right eyelid twitched, and she had a bad premonition. What was going on?

Shu Wanwan closed her eyes and rubbed her temples. "It must be because I didn't get enough rest yesterday. It shouldn't be a big problem." Shu Wanwan thought.

Shu Wanwan slowly opened her eyes and saw a man sitting on a small stool in front of her. "Oh, no, no, I must not have slept well. Why am I hallucinating?" Shu Wanwan muttered to herself, then closed her eyes again.

He suddenly opened his eyes and yelled "Jiang Jingchen!!!"

Jiang Jingchen looked at Shu Wanwan suspiciously and made a "hush" gesture. Shu Wanwan also stared at Jiang Jingchen with wide eyes.

"That's not right. This man looked very charming a few days ago, but now he looks nothing like that. Could it be that I was seeing things before?" Shu Wanwan's shocked expression slowly turned into a puzzled one.

"But it would be best if I don't have any peach blossom luck, so that I won't be harassed." After Shu Wanwan thought about it, she decided to calculate something about the peach blossom luck.

"Hey, Shu Wanwan, what are you thinking about?" Jiang Jingchen raised his hand and waved it in front of Shu Wanwan.

"Why are you shaking? If you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly." Shu Wanwan thought to herself, then rolled her eyes and pushed Jiang Jingchen's hand away.

"You can tell fortunes, can you tell mine?" Jiang Jingchen ignored Shu Wanwan's rolling eyes and didn't get angry. He pointed at the words on the ground and said to Shu Wanwan.

"Birth date." After a while, Shu Wanwan squeezed out these few words from between her teeth.

She really didn't want to tell the fortune of this plague god in front of her. If it weren't for Jiang Jingchen, she wouldn't be unemployed, let alone setting up a fortune-telling stall here. However, Old Man Shu had taught that those who came to ask for divination were all destined to be with him. He would not tell fortunes to evil people, and would not refuse good people. Judging from Jiang Jingchen's face, he didn't look like a bad person, but rather had a kind face. However, Shu Wanwan's spiritual power had not recovered much since her rebirth, so she couldn't tell much from his face. So she simply tore off a page from her notebook and handed it to Jiang Jingchen.
