MTL - No. 8 Pawnshop-Chapter 3
The No. 8 pawnshop exists in the fourth dimension of space, and the world Ye Li lives in is only one of thousands of parallel worlds, the owner of the name that appears on the crystal wall this time is also from another world People, more importantly, they are not the ones who actively found the No. 8 pawnshop, but the people selected by the No. 8 pawnshop. They may have souls, potentials, or indulgent desires that are favored by the No. 8 pawnshop.
Ye Li's mission was to lure them into the No. 8 pawnshop. The person selected this time was also Ye Li's first mission.
There are four people selected by the No. 8 pawnshop. They have different backgrounds and personalities, but fate has brought them together, and now they have made a great reputation in the imperial court.
Ye Li was walking on the streets of the capital, listening to the clamor of people coming and going, looked around, and stopped at a fortune-telling booth in the corner.
"I want your stall." A gentle and amiable female voice sounded.
The fortune-teller who was wearing a grey cloth gown and pretending to be blind saw a piece of yellow gold falling on the table, his eyes widened, he hurriedly collected the gold, and gave Ye Li the seat himself .
Ye Li sat down neatly in the fortune teller's seat, picked up the brush on the table, and slowly wrote a line on the white paper, pressing it with the inkstone and unfolding it on the table. at the table.
Only people who have fate.
Iron Axe is a solid blacksmith. Even though he has just moved to the capital for less than a year, he has already gotten along with his neighbors. Everyone is happy to see him. Everyone knows that he has a son The arresting man is a big man.
He came out today and wanted to buy some nourishing things for his son, but he saw a girl with a fortune-telling booth and closed her eyes. Because of a parental heart, seeing the young girl again and thinking it was a difficult life, Tie Axe couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, and looked at it more.
Who would have guessed that the girl suddenly opened her eyes and said to him, "Old sir, let's make a calculation."
Nodding, "Okay, girl, you can do the math for me."
After the iron axe was seated, Ye Li stared at his face for about half a breath before slowly saying: "You lost your wife at the age of twenty-five, and you have only one daughter in your life. There is good reward, and there is a son's kinship, although it is not his own, it is better than his own, old gentleman, am I right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, how did you know?" Father Tie was shocked, Tie You Xia was not his own, but an outcast he adopted in the mountains that year. Except for him and Zhuge Shenhou, no third person knew about it.
Ye Li continued: "Your son, who has a lot of luck, is a hero among people, with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness, and a bright future, which is not bad, but it's a pity that your biological daughter... ,
Father Tie was happy in the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence lifted his heart,
"Girl, what's wrong with my girl?"
Ye Li shook his head and sighed: "No, she has a fate at nineteen."
Iron Axe asked anxiously, "How serious is it?"
Ye Li replied, "It hurts his life."
I heard the iron axe panicked, "Girl, can my daughter's calamity be resolved?"
"Then see what you can pay."
——
Tie Shou and Tie Youdong found that their father was very worried recently, and what was wrong was not as cheerful as usual. One day, when Yu Dong asked during lunch,
Iron Axe shook his head and said it was fine, but then said, "You Dong, your twentieth birthday is coming soon."
"It's still two months away, Dad, why do you suddenly think of this." Tie Youdong said, and put the vegetables into the iron axe bowl, "Dad, you also eat more Look, your face is not very good these days."
Iron Axe didn't seem to hear what she was saying, thinking about what was going on in her heart and murmured; "It's still two months away, then it's fine..."
Seeing the old man like this, Iron Hand couldn't help frowning.
I originally wanted to secretly investigate the troubles of my father recently, but it happened that Wanyanchong, the son of the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, was kidnapped. Guarantee that it can get back the full face charge. Tie Shou had to put aside his personal affairs for the time being and concentrate on finding Wanyan Chong.
But within two days, something happened to You Dong.
She went out to buy cakes for Chase and disappeared. Discovering this, Tie Shou was angry and gave Chasing a punch. He knew that You Dong liked him, and he deliberately rejected her by letting her go to such a far place to buy cakes.
Chasing didn't fight back, and was beaten by him.
Iron hand searched all over the capital, but couldn't hide it in front of Tie Axe, but after Tie Axe knew about it, he sat on the chair in a daze, his face panicked .
The iron hand held his hand tightly and comforted, "Dad, don't worry, I won't let You Dong have an accident."
"What she said is true, what she said is true..." Iron Axe murmured, repeating this sentence repeatedly.
Iron Hand was a little puzzled, "Dad, what are you talking about, who is 'she'?"
Iron Axe grabbed his hand and said eagerly: "She said that You Dong will have an accident, she is really good at fortune-telling, really..."
Iron Hand heard the word 'fortune-telling' clearly, and only comforted: "Those are all liars, nonsense, it's not like you haven't seen a fortune-teller in disguise..."
"But she said that your sister will die, and this difficulty will hurt her life." Iron Axe was a little emotional, and the whole person was at a loss.
"It'll be fine, Dad, trust me, I will definitely find You Dong."
Under the constant comfort of Iron Hand, Iron Axe finally calmed down and went back to his room to rest.
Hearing Dad's breathing gradually calmed down, Iron Hand was relieved, but for some reason, he was a little concerned about the fortune-teller mentioned by Dad. I simply went out to the street and looked for it, to see if I could find the fortune teller.
Twilight is approaching, due to the frequent incidents recently, and the frequent looting of people, most of the people have closed their stalls and returned home early. On the empty streets, there are some yin and yang signs floating in the wind in the corners. Weird.
Tie Shou walked to the fortune-telling booth, his steps were steady and strong, just as soon as he reached the table, Ye Li opened his eyes, giving Tie Shou a feeling that she had been keeping her eyes open, although she could not feel it She had any inner strength in martial arts, but Iron Hand still felt a deep sense of danger, far greater than any vicious prisoner he had ever encountered.
Such a person will never find his father for no reason.
"That day was your destiny for my father." Tie Shou stared at Ye Li with piercing eyes, not missing the slightest change in her expression.
Ye Li smiled and replied; "Yes."
Iron Hand did not reveal her identity or who his father was, but Ye Li answered 'yes', which showed that she knew him and knew him, and she came here.
"Do you know where my sister is?" Iron Hand didn't directly ask her what her purpose was. He was more concerned about You Dong's safety than this.
Ye Li said gently, "I know."
The iron hand stared at her face, but after she said these three words, there was no more.
"Then you don't want to say it."
Ye Li only said, "Everything has a price."
"Which side are you from? What do you want?" Facing her with iron hands, he was like a black panther with full momentum and fierceness. Maybe he would choose to bring her back to God in the next second. Houfu detention.
Ye Li's voice was soft but slightly meaningful, "I am not on either side, I will always stand on my side, and what I want is very precious, but there will always be someone willing pay."
Iron Hand didn't bring her back to Shenhou Mansion in the end, maybe he wanted to put a long line to catch big fish, or maybe he believed that he could find Yudong.
He turned and strode away, as he had come.
He heard Ye Li's voice rustling in the evening wind, his voice was gentle and full of pity, "Pity the hearts of parents in the world..."
——
"I can help you resolve this catastrophe for your daughter, but what you need to pay is awareness."
"Once there is no consciousness, you will lie in bed like a living dead, unable to move, hear, see, or speak."
"Will I drag them down, I don't want them to work for me." At the last moment, he still thought about his children.
Ye Li replied, "No, if you don't get water, you can only live for half a month at most, and they won't suffer for too long."
"That's fine, that's fine."
"You can rest assured that after this sadness, your daughter will be safe and sound, free from illness and disaster."
——
When Iron Hand came back home, he found something wrong, the oil lamp that was lit again after he left, the letters on the table,
And the smiling and sleeping dad.
Tie Youdong found Wanyanchong who was missing in the mine where she was caught and forced to work. , Tie Youdong and the others were hidden in the grass in front of them, and a stone suddenly rolled to other places. They successfully escaped the tracking of the mine guards and were finally rescued.
Originally, Tie Youdong would fall and get injured because of that stone. In order not to drag Wanyan Chong down, she let him go first, but she was caught by the guards and suffered a lot. After rescuing her, she has become delirious, and life is better than death. In the end, Iron Axe couldn't bear her to continue to suffer, so he boiled a poisonous decoction and took it with her.
This is the destiny.
But now, her fate has changed, and it was her father who used his own fate in exchange to prevent this tragedy.
