A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 345

Seeing that they had almost sold out, the old man told the children to go and play by themselves.

"Sui Sui, why don't you go play with Jiao Jiao and the others too?"

Yun Sui glanced at the stall before nodding.

"it is good."

Although Yun Sui's IQ is forever stuck at five or six years old, he is optimistic and filial.

He took the incense and followed Yun Jiao and the others to worship the gods.

Extremely devout.

Under a large tree at the exit of the village temple, an elderly man dressed in a Taoist robe, looking somewhat disheveled, sat cross-legged on the ground. In front of him was a tattered cloth with long strips of red silk on it, on which were written words of blessing in gold paint.

Many people bought them and tied the red ribbons to their wrists or to the big tree.

His stall also had some wooden signs and some talismans folded into triangles.

There was also a sign next to it that said, "Free face reading with purchase."

It's actually fortune telling, but it's not appropriate to say it directly right now.

When Yun Jiao and the others passed by, they heard him telling the fortune of an old lady.

“My daughter is disobedient and has been completely fooled by a good-for-nothing in our village. Master, do you have any ideas?”

The girl being pulled along by the old woman looked furious.

"Mom, how could you say that about Brother Cai? He said he would change and that he would treat me to the best of everything from now on. He even gave me a bracelet."

The old woman was furious: "You've brought so many things from home for him, like this bracelet! It's just a piece of wood that you bent at will, and you treat it like a treasure!"

"Brother Cai said this is an antique, you wouldn't understand."

The old Taoist priest advised, "Calm down, everyone. Let me take a look at you."

He stared at the girl's face for a while, then suddenly started calculating with his fingers in a serious manner.

"Oh dear, this is terrible."

What's up?

"Girl, I know your Cai Ge is a good guy."

The girl immediately looked smug.

"But...you two can't be together."

The girl was stunned: "Why?"

"Sigh... Your birth charts are incompatible. Not only are they incompatible, they also clash. He will bring you bad luck in wealth. As long as he is by your side, you will not be able to hold onto your money."

The girl panicked immediately upon hearing this: "How could this be?"

"Listen to me, girl, if you really get together with him, you'll suffer in the future."

"But, but we're truly in love, I... I'm not afraid..."

The old woman standing nearby was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

The old Taoist priest said unhurriedly, "But you are also his nemesis."

"With you around, he'll never get rich."

Now the girl was conflicted.

The old woman patted her and said, "What are you still agonizing over? Go back and break it off with him, you hear me?"

Finally, amidst the old woman's grumbling, the girl left, distraught.

Yun Jiao stopped eating some melon and then prepared to leave, satisfied.

Unexpectedly, the old Taoist priest called out to them.

"Oh my, these young friends are quite remarkable. They'll all grow up to be outstanding individuals."

Yun Xiaowu puffed out his chest and said, "Do you need to tell me?"

The old Taoist priest looked at Yun Jiao and said, "Young friend, you have accumulated great merit. Would you like some amulets for protection?"

Yun Jiao looked at him and asked, "Can this amulet really keep you safe?"

"Oh dear, we should trust science. This is just a psychological comfort."

"Anyway, it's not expensive, just one dollar."

"One yuan isn't expensive at all."

Yun Xiaoqi rolled her eyes: "You're really lying to me in broad daylight."

"Oh dear, it takes me a lot of effort to draw these talismans, I'm just earning a meager living."

“And this thing, it’s real peach wood. Our ancestors said peach wood wards off evil spirits. Whether it’s true or not, there’s some truth to it.” Yun Jiao squatted down to look at this and that.

"Let's go, sister. This guy is a liar."

Yun Jiao: "It's okay, I have money."

The old Taoist priest looked at them with a smile, glanced at Yun Jiao a few more times, and finally fixed his gaze on Yun Sui.

"Come here, kid."

Yun Sui shook her head: "No, Grandpa and Jiaojiao both said not to talk to strangers."

"Haha, they're all here, what are you afraid of?"

Yun Sui shook his head again; he was an obedient child.

The old Taoist priest shook a tattered fan.

“Village guardian, your life has been miserable if it weren’t for a benefactor.”

Yun Jiao looked at the old Taoist priest. Was he referring to Yun Sui?

The old Taoist priest simply said, "I will stay in this village from now on. Come find me when you stop going to school."

He glanced at Yun Jiao.

"Foolish child, infatuated love, you are ultimately from different worlds. This marriage is not to be taken, otherwise you will hurt yourself and others."

Yun Xiaowu and the others were completely confused.

"What are you babbling about, old man?"

Yun Jiao didn't understand either, and Yun Sui looked completely bewildered.

"I didn't say anything. I just like to talk to myself."

He looked at Yun Jiao and said, "Little girl, here's a good luck charm for you. Take it to the Mazu Temple and pray to her."

Yun Jiao took a stone from his hand; it looked like inferior white jade.

"Is this a peace charm?"

Why is it different from the ones on his stall?
"You guys don't know this, do you? The amulets that are carried by different carriers are naturally different. Simply put, the one you have is more expensive."

Yun Jiao and her brothers: …………

"You're really giving it to me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, it seems we're destined to meet."

Yun Jiao said, "I won't take yours for nothing. Grandpa said that free things are the most valuable. I'll take all these amulets and these peach wood talismans."

Then I handed him thirty yuan.

"Is this enough?"

The old Taoist priest immediately beamed with joy: "That's enough, that's enough."

He looks greedy and has no trace of the Taoist's otherworldly demeanor.

However, Yun Jiao didn't care. Although the old Taoist priest seemed unreliable, she had a fairly good impression of him.

"Then we're off, goodbye grandpa."

The old Taoist priest leaned against a tree, watching the children leave, a smile spreading across his face.

"Incredible! This tiny village is hiding a prospective sea god."

However, being the sea god is not an easy job. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility.

Yun Jiao really took those amulets to the Mazu Temple and even to the shrines of other deities to pray.

Then they gave one to their brothers, and even to Yun Sui, and then everyone carried the lanterns and went down the mountain in a lively atmosphere.

This year is just the beginning; their village temple will be even more lively in the future.

It wasn't until March that Bailong Village gradually became quiet.

Yun Jiao's brothers have already started school, as have Yun Sui and several other children in the village who received financial assistance.

The village chief, clan elders, and village party secretary calculated that the income from the village temple alone had reached more than six thousand yuan during the Spring Festival period.

This doesn't even include the money the villagers earned from setting up stalls.

This greatly excited the village chief and his colleagues.

After all, I really didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected joy after the village temple was repaired.

The village chief's son said, "Dad, I think our village temple needs a proper renovation."

“Not only the statue of Mazu, but also statues of other gods need to be made, and the temple needs to be expanded, and professional Taoist priests need to be found to manage the temple.”
