Chapter 132 Guess the Name
"Little Black, do you want some too?" Lu Shi'an squatted down and picked out a piece for Little Black.
After finishing the stinky tofu, the little black dog stuck out its long tongue and licked it, seemingly wanting more. So Ye Xiaoxiao gave it another piece.
After finishing their meal, the little black dog trotted back to He Wuyou's side. Ye Xiaoxiao and the other person also returned, and drank the cold tea prepared for them on the table in one gulp.
Cool!
Lu Shi'an looked at the twins with a regretful expression and said, "You two are really missing out by not eating stinky tofu. It's absolutely delicious! I have two more pieces here, would you like to try some?"
He presented the bamboo tube to the two men like a treasure, waiting for their reaction.
He Wuyang pinched his nose and pushed the stinky tofu toward his second brother: "I don't want to eat it, you eat it, second brother!"
Looking at the dark object in front of him, He Wuyou found it hard to believe that Lu Shi'an had been eating it with such relish.
He quickly waved his hand and pushed it back to Lu Shi'an.
The other person raised an eyebrow. Since that was the case, he wouldn't stand on ceremony. He devoured the food in a whirlwind and finished it with great relish.
After resting, the group strolled around, eating and shopping as they went. He Jing carried most of the items they bought, while Lu Shi'an also helped with a few.
"Come and take a look! It costs ten coins to guess your surname, or you don't have to pay."
The group walked over and saw a middle-aged man sitting in a corner with a sign next to him that read: "Guess your surname in two sentences, ten coins per person."
The stall owner had a piece of cloth in front of him, covered with surnames written on it, separated by grids.
Next to the cloth was a bamboo tube containing a handful of bamboo sticks about the width of a finger, with names engraved on them.
Ye Xiaoxiao never expected that such a thing existed in ancient times. However, she still couldn't figure out how it came about.
Passersby were curious about this and gathered around to watch the spectacle, wondering if the stall owner could actually calculate other people's surnames.
However, no one stepped forward.
A moment later, a burly man walked into the crowd and shouted, "Give me a reading!"
"Draw the bamboo stick with your surname on it." The stall owner handed all the bamboo sticks to the burly man, letting him draw one with his name engraved on it.
The burly man quickly found the bamboo skewer.
The stall owner pointed to the cloth laid out on the ground and said, "Put it in the compartment with your name on it."
As soon as the burly man put it down, the stall owner calmly replied, "Your surname is Wang."
Upon hearing this, the burly man clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Amazing! Amazing! Sir, you are truly a divine being! I admire you greatly!"
The onlookers gasped in amazement.
"Wow, this person is really amazing."
"Yes, and he really only said two sentences."
"He can indeed be considered a diviner."
Of course, some people were skeptical and retorted, "Maybe it was just a fluke. I don't believe he's really that amazing."
"..."
A hint of confusion and surprise flashed in Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes. Her brows furrowed slightly, and a sense of disbelief crossed her mind. She hadn't expected that he could actually guess correctly.
"Ah Jing, how do you think he did it?"
He Jing noticed that her bright eyes were filled with confusion, and there was an indescribable kind of naivety about them.
He smiled and leaned closer to her ear, whispering in a tone only the two of them could hear, "I'll tell you when we get back. Saying it here would ruin their reputation."
His deep, slightly husky voice was both alluring and seductive, sending a shiver down Ye Xiaoxiao's spine and making her feel a tingling sensation that made her unable to resist falling for him.
Watching the interaction between the two, Mrs. He couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Second Brother, is this person a god?! He's amazing!" He Wuyang's eyes sparkled with surprise as he praised him without reservation.
A knowing glint flashed in He Wuyou's eyes, and she covered her mouth, whispering, "Just a little trick to make things mysterious."
The little girl covered her mouth like him and asked, "Second Brother, how did you know he was just being mysterious?"
Lu Shi'an leaned closer and asked He Wuyou, "So, Wuyou, you've already figured out the secret?"
"How difficult is this?"
Just then, the person who had said the stall owner had guessed correctly by chance decided to try it out too, wanting to see if this person was really that amazing.
Almost at the same time, He Wuyou told the stall owner the person's surname.
When He Wuyang saw that his second brother could guess correctly, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide, as if he had been frozen in place.
"Second brother, you're amazing!"
Lu Shi'an knew that people who pretended to be supernatural must have their own tricks, but he didn't expect that He Wuyou, who was so young, could understand the mystery so quickly, which made him admire him.
We've eaten, we've drunk, and we've seen the excitement.
After buying what they needed, the group went home with bags full of purchases.
Unexpectedly, before the group even entered the courtyard, Xiao Hei suddenly darted forward and entered the gate first, barking incessantly at a certain corner.
"Woof woof woof—woof woof woof—"
