“Here it comes, hurry up!” Suddenly, someone shouted. Lin Qingyin’s Mother saw that the people next to her hulled towards a huge old tree not far away. She hesitated walk forward. Her pace slowed down by two times. She saw the people behind her passed by her and ran towards the old tree.
“Oh, I came late today, I don’t know if I can squeeze in front.” Lin Qingyin’s Mother heard an anxious voice. She turned her head and see an aunt, who was running and chattering depressedly: “I forgot to look at my mobile phone yesterday. I didn’t know that the Little Master is coming today. Otherwise, I should have come here at 4 a.m.!”
Little Master?
Lin Qingyin’s Mother frowned her eyebrows in doubt. Why does this name sound so familiar?
Before she could understand, Lin Qingyin’s Mother followed the crowd under the old tree. At this time, the people who came first had already sat down on the side, leaving a passage for those who came for fortune-telling.
Lin Qingyin’s Mother stretched out her neck and was stunned suddenly!
Her daughter was sitting under the old tree, while a group of people her cheerfully and called her ‘little master’.
Lin Qingyin’s Mother slapped her thigh. She suddenly remembered something. No wonder the name was so familiar. That’s what Jiang Wei called her daughter that day.
Daughter, why are you sitting here? Are you pretending to be a fairy!!!

Although Lin Qingyin’s Mother was shocked and wanted to drag Lin Qingyin over to ask what was wrong. She still held back when she saw so many people sitting next to her. She looked around and found a place where people sat cross-legged on the ground.
Although Lin Qingyin’s Mother doesn’t have a high degree of a diploma or read educational books, she used the simplest way to get along with her daughter. She gives her face outside and listens to her opinion. As long as her daughter doesn’t want to say it, she would never ask about it and make her feel embarrassed. So although she was shocked by this scene, she still subconsciously look for a place to hide, to not embarrass her daughter.
Lin Qingyin’s Mother sat on the grass and watched her daughter being surrounded by people. She fell into deep thoughts. She thought of many possibilities why her daughter goes out in the morning. She thought she was trying to earn pocket money. She even thought she was delivering milk, newspaper, or other odd jobs. However, she didn’t think she would choose fortune-telling!
“Can she really calculate fortune?”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother couldn’t help but whisper. The aunt, who was a big fan, gave her a questionable look when she heard her words: “Is this your first time here?”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother said “Mmm” and realized that the person next to her was talking to her.
“I was planning to come to the park to exercise. But suddenly, I saw a lot of people running over here, so I followed. I didn’t expect to see someone giving divination.”
“No wonder you don’t know what little master is doing. It turned out to be your first time here.” The aunt raised her head proudly: “I’ve been here twice.”
Lin Qingyin’s Mother: “……???”
What are you so proud of, sister? Are you trying to tell me that you’re not too busy?
Lin Qingyin always felt that the people who came here for fortune-tellers were not normal. But then again, who’s a normal person looking for a half-old child do fortune-telling!
While muttering inside her heart, Lin Qingyin’s Mother watched an old lady took out a pile of money and handed it to her daughter: “Little master, I want to figure out whether the child in my daughter-in-law’s belly is a grandson? To tell you the truth, my family has a single seedling for three generations now.”
Lin Qingyin looked up at the old lady, threw the pile of money back, and coldly said: “This kind of problem doesn’t count. Next one!”
The old lady had an aggrieved expression. When she was about to speak, she was interrupted by the uncles and aunts, who watched the excitement next to her: “The country has banned the sex identification of babies!”
“That’s right, the era where men are more important than women has long been gone. Are you trying to make us laugh?”
“You come to ask about this, does your daughter-in-law know? You’re not afraid of her quarreling with you?”
“… …”
The old lady was so embarrassed that she took her money and left. An old couple, next in line, walked in front: “Little Master, we want to find someone, I wonder if it’s counts?”
Lin Qingyin looked at the faces of the old couple for 2 more seconds and then said: “You gave birth to two sons. But looking at your face, not only the eldest son not live close to you but also went missing?”
“Yes, yes, yes! We lost my eldest son when he was 5 years old. Even after looking for a year, we still couldn’t find him, so I tried to give birth to my second son.” The old lady nodded her head in excitement, then she turned her head and slapped her old husband’s thigh: “I told you, the little master’s divination is accurate.”
The old man didn’t care about his old wife this time. He nervously asked: “Can you find him?”
Lin Qingyin replied: “Do you have his eight characters and photos?”
The old lady had prepared these things early on. Not only she had written her missing son’s eight characters, but also their old couple and second son’s eight characters. She also brought several photos of her missing son and as well as their current family portrait.
Seeing this, Fatty Wang said to the old lady with a smile: “You have prepared enough.”
The old lady replied very seriously: “I have been preparing since the day I sent you a message for appointment. The more I prepare things, the more the little master can see more clearly, right?”
Lin Qingyin looked through all the photos and took a glance at the family’s eight characters, then suddenly she asked: “Did your youngest son go to the south these days?”
“Yes!” The old man stood up sharply from the chair: “He left the day before yesterday. He went to Hong Kong. He will be back tomorrow.”
Lin Qingyin nodded her head: “You give your youngest son a call and tell him that when you meet someone on the mountains, he might as well ask the person a few more questions. Maybe you might get a surprise.”
The old couple looked at each other in surprise and quickly took out their mobile phone to call their youngest son. The person next in line saw the couple was very anxious, so he didn’t rush them. He just stared at the couple nervously.
“Xiao Hui? Did you go to some mountain today?” The old man asked nervously and waited for a reply. After a few seconds, he nodded in surprise to his wife: “He said he went to Lantau Island in Hong Kong. He went there since yesterday afternoon.”
The old lady stomped her feet in a hurry, then snatched the mobile phone to her old husband: “Xiao Hui, we found a master to calculate where your elder brother is. The master said if you are on the mountain and met someone, you might as well chat and ask the person a few more questions. Maybe he is your long lost brother.”
Li Hui, who was on the other end of the phone call, touched his forehead and shook his head helplessly. But then, he agreed twice before hanging up the phone call.
“This old couple is really something.” Li Hui complained to the man standing opposite to him: “They went to look for a fortune-teller as soon as I’m not at home, then let me ask people a lot of questions, and said maybe I can find my long lost brother. Does it make any sense?”
The man, standing on the opposite side, said in Mandarin with Hong Kong accent: “People here also believe in this. We like to count big and small things! What’s more, losing a child is a big thing. Naturally, we should try our luck.”
