Chapter 431
"Moreover, the peach blossom star in your left-side life palace is shifted, indicating trouble is brewing at home..."
Ling Yan Yan coughed softly, but fearing that Zhang Da Dan might not understand, he had to speak clearly.
"Go home every now and then and see if there are a few more green hats in your house."
Zhang Dadan's face twisted for a moment. When it came to a man's pride, he would never admit to Ling Yanyan's words.
This also led to the denial of his claim of being possessed by an evil spirit.
"Haha, you're wrong. My wife treats me incredibly well, always caring for me and looking after me. It's impossible for her to be like you say..."
Ling Yanyan gave a perfunctory "hmm" twice, seeing no need to continue. The matter was now left to Ling Yanyan to decide whether to listen or not.
He got back into the rickshaw and told him to speed up, instead of chatting with him anymore.
The journey was unusually quiet, but Ling Yanyan was relaxed and rested for half a day. When they arrived in town, he was in good spirits.
Zhang Dadan was really unlucky. He was covered in sweat and felt extremely tired today, even though he usually walked the same path thousands of times.
After delivering him to his lodgings, Ling Yanyan paid him his wages. Zhang Dadan accepted the money with both hands and stood hesitantly in front of him.
Ling Yanyan calmly asked him, "Is the payment wrong?"
"No, no," Zhang Dadan quickly waved his hands, still feeling uneasy. "What you said on the way..."
"If you believe it, then it's true; if you don't, there's nothing I can do."
Ling Yanyan chuckled, still looking lazy and languid....
"I might stay in town for a few days. It's fate that we met. If you want to come find me, then come find me. By the way, let me remind you to go home early tonight and not linger outside."
After Ling Yanyan finished speaking, he yawned and walked into his residence, ignoring the undercurrents in Zhang Dadan's heart behind him.
Zhang Dadan escorted Ling Yanyan to her residence. He had another job to do, but remembering what Ling Yanyan had said, he declined it.
Seeing that it was still early, he used his wages for the day to buy some wine and meat in town, intending to go to his friend A-Du's house to discuss the matter.
After all, A-Du was among the group that made the bet. They were close friends and could give him advice when things went wrong.
He carried the wine and meat toward Adu's house, and the sun, which had been shining brightly just moments before, suddenly became dim.
Adu's house wasn't far, just a few minutes' walk away. Zhang Dadan hesitated for a moment, but decided to go there first.
He should be able to get back before dark in the time it takes to eat a meal.
When he arrived at A-Du's house, he hesitated about how to start the conversation. After all, he was known for his boldness, but he was afraid of this kind of thing.
That would ruin his lifelong reputation.
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he swallowed them back.
"Why did you suddenly decide to ask me to drink today? Didn't your wife tell you to go home earlier?" A-Du teased.
Zhang Dadan seemed preoccupied and didn't reply, which piqued Adu's curiosity.
"Did you have a fight with your sister-in-law? You should spend more time with her. Money can't be earned forever..."
"No." Zhang Dadan took a sip of his wine and sighed.
Adu knew he had something to say about this, so he offered to go to the kitchen and get some snacks to go with his drinks.
Zhang Dadan followed him, sipping his tea one bite after another, until he realized that it was already dark outside.
Oh no! I promised him he'd be home before dark!
Zhang Dadan stood up without hesitation, not even bothering to say hello, and rushed straight out the door.
There was a mirror in the main room of Adu's house, and he always felt uncomfortable whenever he came here. This time, the feeling was even stronger.
He looked into the mirror as if possessed, and finally saw the true face of the figure that had chased him in his dreams.
Half of his face was exposed as white bone, his body reeked of the decay of a dead man, and blood began to seep from the corner of his gaping mouth.
Although he didn't say anything, he still understood what the other person meant.
"I'll kill you!"
Zhang Dadan screamed, instantly sobering up, and shouted A-Du's name.
But the sound couldn't get through at all, and A-Du didn't respond at all.
He ran out of the house in a panic, instinctively heading home, feeling safe once he got there.
He had only drunk a few sips of wine, yet it was already late at night outside.
There was no one on the road, only the pale moonlight overhead and the shadow chasing behind.
