The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Arriving at the park gate, the busiest place with people coming and going, Lu Shi skillfully set up his so-called "stall" under the big tree with lush branches and leaves at the gate.

It was called a stall, but in fact it was just a simple, monotonous paper sign placed under a tree, and on the sign were two large, crooked and shabby characters "Fortune Telling" written on them.

Passersby cast strange looks at him, and when they saw Lu Shi dressed like a beggar, they avoided him as much as possible, as if they were afraid that they would be contaminated by bad luck if they got any closer.

As a result, with Lu Shi as the center, a vacuum zone with a radius of about ten meters was formed around him unknowingly.

However, not everyone is so disgusted and repulsive towards Lu Shi.

Occasionally, there would be a few kind-hearted people who passed by and didn't mind her slovenly appearance. Out of sympathy and pity, they would throw a few coins to her.

There was even a generous passerby who handed her a ten-yuan note.

If people nowadays didn’t like to carry cash with them, Lu Shi believed she would earn more!

Lu Shi counted and found that she seemed to have earned 14 yuan today, big fortune!

However, what made Lu Shi feel a little frustrated and depressed was that although many people had donated money, no one had ever taken the initiative to come to her for fortune-telling.

She held her chin with her hand, looked around aimlessly, and thanked the girl who gave her a ten-yuan note and was about to leave.

"Thank you, Miss Li."

Hearing this, Li Ning, who had already taken a few steps, turned back in surprise and asked suspiciously, "Huh? How do you know my last name is Li?"

Lu Shi pointed to the sign next to her and said, "Here, fortune telling, I'm a professional!"

The little girl's eyes were filled with the clear innocence of a college student. She nodded in admiration, "You're amazing!"

Seeing this, her companion with equally clear eyes asked quickly, "Do you know my last name?"

Lu Shi's eyes slyly rolled around, and she pointed to the metal basin filled with money in front of her, hinting cryptically, "Miss, fortune-telling comes at a price, so you may have to pay something too..."

“For example, this!”

The young lady nodded in understanding, "But I don't have any cash."

"It doesn't matter. You can exchange it for something else."

Lu Shi looked around and saw a milk tea shop. "Can you buy me a cup of milk tea? Any kind will do!"

The young lady agreed immediately and came back with a cup of classic brown sugar pearl milk tea in a short while.

Lu Shi took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes contentedly, "Thank you, Sister Xiao Tang."

"Wow!" Tang Mian exclaimed in surprise, with an incredible look on his face.

"You actually figured it out!"

"No big deal." Lu Shi waved his hand as if he didn't care, but in fact he was already very happy.

The two young ladies found it interesting and asked for Lu Shi’s contact information.

After seeing off the two young ladies, Lu Shi had an idea in his mind.

She took out a large piece of white paper from somewhere, wrote a few large words on it with a brush, and then carefully placed it on the floor in front of her.

"Without missing anything, I can know your last name for just ten dollars. You are not allowed to refuse the money!"

Lu Shi risked his dignity and started shouting at the park gate.

Her clear and loud shouts instantly attracted the attention of many passers-by.

After hearing her voice, many people looked at her curiously.

However, when these people's eyes fell on the large white paper with the advertising slogan, the curiosity in their eyes was quickly replaced by doubt.

After all, paying a full ten yuan just to have someone figure out your last name doesn't seem like a good deal no matter how you look at it.

So, even though more and more people gathered to watch the excitement, no one was really willing to step forward and try it out.

Not only that, someone had actually done something similar before, and the secret was exposed on the spot by passers-by at the time.

Therefore, everyone naturally assumes that this so-called fortune-telling behavior is a pure scam.

However, Lu Shi was out of touch with the news and knew nothing about this matter. He thought he had found a perfect way to make money.

But reality is often cruel and ruthless, and it turns out that no one is interested in her tricks at all.

Lu Shi was defeated again.

She sat alone under the tree, staring at the busy intersection with pedestrians and cars, her heart filled with loss and helplessness.

There were many people coming and going at the intersection, but no one stopped for her. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel sad.

It’s so hard to make money!

Just when she was feeling sad about the passing of time, a young man about her age walked towards her. A shy blush appeared on his face and he stuttered when he spoke.

"Uh...are you...are you a fortune teller?"

"Oh, you are the fortune teller."

The boy asked and answered himself, his face redder.

"Um, can you tell my fortune?"

Seeing his shy look, Lu Shi couldn't help but feel curious, "What do you want to calculate?"

"Forget...when will I live in your heart?"

After hearing this, before Lu Shi could recover from his shock, a burst of laughter came from a distance.

Lu Shi looked at a group of boys and girls holding up their mobile phones to film what was happening on her side, and suddenly understood something.

The boy then began to explain, "I'm so sorry, I was just playing Truth or Dare with my friends."

Lu Shi's face was wooden as he replied calmly, "It's okay."

I was so happy for nothing, I thought there was really business coming...

The boy saw Lu Shi's unhappy expression and her outfit, and thought it was not a good idea to play such a joke on a beggar, so he slowly took out a hundred-yuan bill from his wallet.

"Sorry, this is my fortune-telling fee."

Lu Shi's eyes lit up!

"It's ok!"

"Let me tell you your fortune!"

Lu Shi pinched his fingers seriously.

"Just the fortune you told..."

Lu Shi paused as she was pinching her fingers together. She looked at the young man intently, with an ambiguous look in her eyes.

"Young Master Gu and I have a strong connection. In the near future, perhaps we will have...an unusual relationship."

As for the specific relationship, Lu Shi couldn't figure it out for the time being, but it definitely wouldn't be too bad.

The blush on Gu Yi's face faded, and his expression became a little ugly. "Don't talk nonsense."

Anyone who says that he has a special relationship with a fortune teller who looks like a beggar will be unhappy.

But the next second he looked at Lu Shi in shock, "You know my last name is Gu?"

Before Lu Shi could answer, he had the answer in his mind, "It's not surprising that you know my name."

At least he is introduced on Baidu Encyclopedia, and the fortune teller may have seen him by chance.

Lu Shi didn't care about his dark face and leaned against the tree with a relaxed body.

"It's not that kind of relationship. I've figured it out. I might be your elder in the future."

After hearing this, Gu Yi felt that Lu Shi was talking nonsense.

"You fart!"

Lu Shi spread his hands and said, "Believe it or not."
