This was something the monk had not expected.

“You helped that person, but why are you not willing to help me?” Li Guanfeng looked at Liu Sanniang and asked in a low voice.

He did not understand why Liu Sanniang helped Wang Peng but didn’t want to help him and Xiaowu.

It was the monk who got him bitten by a poisonous snake. It was the monk who planted the evil seed. Why did he have to suffer this?

Xiaowu was a good person and never killed anyone. Why did she have to die and disappear?

Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng and said, “You are already separated by Yin and Yang. It’s not something anyone can change at will.”

Li Guanfeng gritted his teeth. “I just want her to stay with me until I die. At that time, we’ll leave this world together.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng and said, “She can’t hold on for that long. You can only learn to let go. If you insist on keeping her with you, she’ll lose the chance to reincarnate. Do you really want that to happen?”

Li Guanfeng clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white. He took a deep breath and let go. He looked at Liu Sanniang calmly. “You haven’t shown me my fortune.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Li Guanfeng.

After a while, she frowned and said, “Your face tells me that you have a long and good life. You will have children and grandchildren. You will eventually marry someone.”

Before Liu Sanniang could finish, Li Guanfeng suddenly stood up and said through gritted teeth, “Impossible, you’re talking nonsense. How can I marry another woman? How can I live a long life? If Xiaowu is gone, I won’t live on.”

Li Guanfeng raised his hand. The bell on his wrist had signs of breaking.

Li Guanfeng lowered his eyes and looked at Liu Sanniang coldly. He thought that Liu Sanniang would help him, but she was just talking nonsense.

The love of his life would only be Xiaowu. Even if they could never be together, he would not change his heart. How could he fall in love with another woman and have children and grandchildren with someone else?

Li Guanfeng was a little lost. He walked on the street numbly with a cold expression, making people automatically give way to him involuntarily.

Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan and couldn’t help but ask. “Chu Yan, do you think he will fall in love with someone else?”

Chu Yan smiled. “Probably not.”

How could such a deep love change?

Liu Sanniang did not think so either. From the memories she sensed, Li Guanfeng had taken care of Xiaowu since she was young. He doted on her and gave all the good things to her. He did not know why he liked her, but it was a love deeper than anything he ever felt.

He wanted to give her everything that was good.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left the teahouse and walked to the back of the mountain. Liu Sanniang called General Black a few times. From afar, they could hear General Black barking in response.

Soon, she saw General Black running towards her crazily. When the dog saw Chu Yan, he stopped in his tracks and walked over timidly.

Liu Sanniang tied the rope again. “Let’s go home. It’s getting dark.”

General Black was excited.

Chu Yan looked at General Black, who was walking beside Liu Sanniang. General Black seemed to have sensed Chu Yan’s gaze and trembled.

Liu Sanniang reached out to touch General Black. “What’s wrong? Are you tired?”

Chu Yan held Liu Sanniang’s hand and squeezed it. “He’s probably just shaking off the lice.”

Liu Sanniang pondered. “Can the doctor treat this?”

Chu Yan smiled. “I think so.”

Liu Sanniang thought for a moment and said, “General Black goes up the mountain every day. I wonder if he’s eaten anything he shouldn’t have.”

General Black whimpered in response.

Liu Sanniang said with a smile, “Alright, alright. I’ll take you to see a doctor tomorrow.”

Chu Yan left after sending Liu Sanniang home.

As soon as Chu Yan left, General Black circled around Liu Sanniang and even raised its two front claws to stand up. He ran and jumped around the courtyard as if trying to tell Liu Sanniang that he was fine.

Liu Erlang hugged General Black and rubbed him. General Black was, most of the time, taken care of by Liu Erlang, and he treated General Black as his family.

The new year was over and Wei Shilai was about to leave the county.

Liu Sanniang thought for a moment and planned to draw a few talismans for Wei Shilai to protect himself. The capital wasn’t a small place like Yong County. There were many psychics.

It was better to be safe than sorry.

On the second day of the New Year, Liu Sanniang went to the government office to look for Wei Shilai. He was still living in the backyard of the government office.

When Liu Sanniang arrived, Mrs. Wei quickly stood up. “Miss Liu, please take a seat.”

Wei Shilai smiled. “Miss Liu, have you eaten? Madam, go and get a bowl of porridge for her.”

Mrs. Wei smiled. “Alright, Miss Liu, you must try some. After we leave this time, I don’t know when we’ll see each other again.”

Wei Shilai looked at Mrs. Wei with gentleness in his eyes. “She’s the only one who knows how to cook that porridge.”

Liu Sanniang smiled and nodded. “Yes, Mrs. Wei is the best at making porridge. I’m lucky today.”

Wei Shilai was happy that his wife was praised. He smiled and said, “Miss Liu, if you didn’t come, I would have gone over to your place. I’m leaving for the capital on the fourth day of the new year. I’m very grateful to have befriended you.”

Liu Sanniang took out some talismans. “Sir, here are a few Peace Talismans I made for you.”

Wei Shilai took them carefully. “Okay, just what I need. Thank you.”

There were six talismans, two for each member of his family. Wei Shilai was very grateful.

When Mrs. Wei served the porridge, Liu Sanniang started eating. Wei Shilai said, “Madam, if there’s more, get someone to send a bowl to Magistrate Li.”
