"I'm coming."

Nobita opened the door, brought in the food box outside, placed it on the table, and invited Yunxiang who was standing beside him.

"Come on, Miss Yunxiang, eat well so you can get things done. Your stomach has been rumbling for a long time."

In the face of Nobita's invitation, Yunxiang did not accept. Her beautiful eyes were staring out the window, as if she was looking at someone outside the window.

Chapter 25 No Sleep

Yunxiang didn't say anything, but just kept eating. She sat on a chair, holding a bowl of rice with vegetables, chicken legs and fish, and kept eating with chopsticks. When she choked, she used the wine beside her to wash down the rice.

Nobita on the side just drank the wine on the table and didn't touch the food on the table. He was not used to the ancient food.

After a while, the food on the table was almost eaten. Yunxiang wiped her mouth and said, "Guest, I'm done. You can start now."

It can be heard that Yunxiang has a feeling of throwing away all hope.

Sure enough, Yunxiang got up and sat on the edge of the bed, took off her red dress, and even took off her pink bellyband, and lay flat on the bed, looking ready to be picked.

The scenery under the bellyband is not very pretty, but it is just so-so. How big can a 14-year-old girl, who is also malnourished, grow? It is just a little more prominent than Shizuka.

"Ms. Yunxiang, don't you really want to tell me your story? Maybe your story is good and you can keep your money but we don't have to do business with you." Nobita twirled the wine glass and offered his conditions to Yunxiang.

For Nobita, his need for women is not that great, especially for a fourteen-year-old girl like Yunxiang. He will have to take out the time baggage and make Yunxiang bigger later.

So in order to avoid exposing some unimportant little things, it's just one night, Nobita can endure it.

Rather than a night of lovemaking, Nobita prefers to listen to other people's gossip. It's obvious at first glance that the guy named Ning Zhi is having some big affair with Yunxiang.

"Since you don't want to do business, please go back. I will return the money to you."

Hearing that Nobita didn't have such an idea, Yunxiang sat up expressionlessly, put on her red skirt, and ordered Nobita to leave.

Boom!

A figure disappeared from the chair, leaving only one who was still spinning on the table. Nobita, who was spinning the wine glass before, had disappeared.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

A coughing sound was heard, and when looking for the source of the sound, I saw Nobita sitting on Yunxiang, pinching Yunxiang's neck with one hand and a ferocious expression on his face. Yunxiang, who was sitting under him, had a painful expression on her face, her face flushed, and she was obviously short of breath.

"Stinky bitch, don't be shameless, I... weird, what am I doing?"

Nobita was roaring at Yunxiang, but halfway through the roar, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he was somewhat confused about his situation.

When he came to his senses, Nobita found that Yunxiang was clapping her hands.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Yunxiang, I don't know what happened just now, I unexpectedly..."

Nobita looked down and found that he was pinching Yunxiang's neck. He quickly stepped back and apologized to Yunxiang, but Yunxiang was frightened and was very afraid of Nobita. She shrank at the head of the bed with a look of fear on her face and didn't say a word.

Nobita wanted to go forward and check Yunxiang's wound, but Yunxiang curled up like a frightened kitten, licking her wound by herself.

The room fell eerily quiet.

Seeing that the conversation was fruitless, Nobita could only sit on the edge of the bed and study his body.

Reaching into the space bag, Nobita took out a stone slab. This stone slab was the evil spirit slab that the evil spirit king transformed into. Nobita was out of control just now, and it was this stone slab that absorbed his negative emotions and brought his consciousness back.

"Strange, why am I losing control of my mind?"

Nobita used the doctor's suitcase to diagnose himself, but apart from the diagnosis result of "excessive sexual intercourse, need to abstain from sex for a period of time", no other problems were found.

Thinking about it carefully, he had just arrived today and had not made any enemies or provoked anyone. Even the people he met recently were just a gambler who had no money and asked his wife to sell her out, and an underage child from a decent family who went into prostitution.

Who would harm himself?

What do people who harm themselves want to achieve?

And what is the principle behind his harming people?

A series of questions emerged in Nobita's mind, but there were too few clues to figure it out.

The only thing I can figure out now is that I have to carry this evil spirit stone close to me, so that I can control my emotions and not commit crimes of passion.

Staying up late is a very tiring job. Yunxiang beside him had already curled up and fallen asleep. Nobita thought about it and felt that the bed was spacious enough, so he released the magic sword and the invisible bodyguard to protect himself and Yunxiang, and then he also lay down on the bed to sleep.

After falling asleep, Nobita had a dream. In the dream, he bought a piece of rennet tofu. The tofu was very elastic and soft, and had a floral scent.

At this time, the night was as dark as water, and a lame old man came from outside the town.

It's strange to say, the old man's face was covered with a black cloth with talismans drawn on it, and no one knew how he covered his eyes. He didn't even hold a lamp in his hand, but just limped into the town with a cane in his hand.

The old man kept muttering as he walked, "Master, Master, you are known as the best fortune teller in Qiantian City. You have been fortune telling for your whole life, but how come you couldn't predict that you would die in Widow Wang's belly? If you are dead, then at least leave all the fortune telling to me. Others keep some tricks to themselves, but you only teach me one trick. This makes my fortune telling sometimes work and sometimes not."

The crutch poked into the mud pit, leaving a mark and mixing up the water and mud in the mud pit.

"I have divined twice in a row. One of the hexagrams shows a dragon fighting in the wild, and its blood is dark yellow."

"If you see a dragon in the field, it will be a good omen to see a great man."

"There are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and one is hidden by man. I don't know whether this hexagram is effective or not, which one is effective and which one is not. Alas!"

Shaking his head and sighing, the old man walked into the town and disappeared without a trace.

……

In a not small but somewhat dilapidated and lonely courtyard, a young man in brocade clothes was riding a wooden horse and eating candy, with a little girl washing clothes sitting next to him.

"Miss Yunxiang, why don't you come with me? I have money, and being my wife will be much better than your brother Ning. What do you think?" Nobita rode his wooden horse back and forth, persuading Yunxiang.

"Mr. Shen, don't talk nonsense. I have already agreed to marry Brother Ning. I am Brother Ning's person in life and Brother Ning's ghost in death. It's not right that we are just having a fleeting romance... It's just a casual affair. There's no need to invest any feelings in it. Your money was taken away by Brother Ning. I will wash the clothes and return them to you." Yunxiang sat on a small stool and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her arm, then continued to wash the clothes.

"Money is just a material thing, it's not very important. I want to hear more about you and your husband. What I hear from gossipy women and neighbors is always a little untrue."

Nobita was very curious about Yunxiang's life experience, not because Ning Zhi took away Yunxiang's purse this morning while he and his wife were sleeping, nor because after he left Yunxiang's hut, the thugs on the street pointed at him and talked and laughed, and even rubbed his crotch with his hands, looking dirty. He was simply curious about the psychology of the gambler's family.

As for Yunxiang's affairs, he spent some money to find out from other people.

There wasn't much to hear, but it gave Nobita some understanding of Yunxiang's family.

Yunxiang and her husband came to Baiyun Town three years ago. At that time, they had not yet married. Ning Zhi was singing in a drama troupe and the money he earned was enough for the two of them to spend. But later, somehow, Ning Zhi became addicted to gambling and became a real gambler.

A year and a half ago, the opera troupe was burned down in a fire, and the troupe owner died of anger. Ning Zhi lost his income, but still kept his hobby of gambling, so his family became ruined.

Three meals a day with fish and meat has become one meal a day, with either meat or vegetables.

The young lady, who had never done housework before, also started to take on odd jobs such as washing clothes and mending clothes. As the seasons changed, her pair of white and jade-like hands became rough and ugly from the work, and she also got frostbite.

But no matter how hard she worked, no matter how long she sewed clothes for people from morning till night, her life did not get better, but only got worse.

Finally, Yunxiang went into the sea!

It is not accurate to say "going into the sea", it should be called "listing"!

Yunxiang did not go into the sea business on her own initiative, but Aunt Wang came to her. In the past, Aunt Wang also took care of Yunxiang a lot, and Aunt Wang would take as many soles as she made.

Yunxiang didn't want to betray Brother Ning, but when she saw Brother Ning being beaten by the debt collectors with bruises all over his body, Yunxiang couldn't bear it and could only sell the jewelry she had saved up.

Now, it’s finally time to put it up for sale!

The day before the listing, Yunxiang specially decorated her home and got married to Brother Ning. Although there was no matchmaker, no betrothal gifts, and even no blessings from her parents and a formal ceremony at this wedding, for Yunxiang, this was enough.

As a result, that night, Brother Ning left him and stayed out all night in the casino.

In the following days, Yunxiang didn't find any customers, or rather, the customers who came to visit her all disliked her because she was too thin and too small.

Until yesterday, when a little complainer of about 18 years old came.

It's also Nobita.

After just one night of sleeping with Yunxiang, all the silver he had was stolen, not even a copper was left for him.

If we can’t catch the thief, we can only blame Yunxiang.

Since Nobita has nowhere to go, he might as well stay at Yunxiang's house for the time being.

"Yunxiang, tell me your story. I want to hear it. Your life was so hard, how did you get through it? Tell me and I'll be happy." Nobita ate honey and rode the little wooden horse he bought, wandering around in the yard.

Yunxiang: "..."

Yunxiang pursed her lips, glanced at Nobita, said nothing, and continued washing clothes.

Bang bang bang!

"coming."

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Yunxiang's face lit up and she said, "Brother Ning is back."

But after opening the door, Yunxiang's expression froze.

The person knocking on the door was not Brother Ning, whom Yunxiang had been thinking about day and night, but an old man with a mask on his face and a crutch in his hand.

The old man bowed respectfully to Yunxiang and said, "My dear little girl, I am new here and would like to ask for a bowl of water. Is that convenient?"

After hearing what the old man said, Yunxiang's expression quickly recovered and she replied, "Wait a moment, old man. I'll go get you some water."

"Thank you, little girl."

When Yunxiang went to pour water, the old man sat on the doorstep, lifted the black cloth on his head, looked towards the yard, and saw Nobita riding a wooden horse in the yard at a glance, and fell into deep thought.

Nobita was eating candy when he suddenly got goose bumps all over his body. Looking back, he saw an old man standing on the doorstep staring at him.

Nobita immediately said with disgust: "You old bastard, if you keep looking at me, I'll break your other leg and make you use crutches!"

Old man: "..."

Do young people these days speak so rudely?

No respect for the elderly at all!

Chapter 26: The Old Man

"Little friend, do you want to have your fortune told?"

The old man limped over to Nobita and asked shamelessly.

"No, my fate is determined by myself, why would I need fortune telling?"

Nobita turned around and ignored the old man.

Ever since he got Doraemon's props, Nobita is not very interested in superstition. Seeing the future with his own eyes is much better than listening to those riddles.

"Little boy, let me tell your fortune. It's free." The old man didn't intend to give up. He came closer to Nobita and continued to ask him if he wanted to tell his fortune.

In order to let Nobita tell his fortune, the old man even revealed his own identity.

"To be honest, little friend, I am the last disciple of Qiantian City's number one fortune teller, nicknamed the sometimes-effective fortune teller Wusheng."

The old man suddenly looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, with an unfathomable look.

"Old man, do you want to listen to what you just said? It's a divine prediction, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Is this divine prediction?"

Nobita suspected that the old man was a psychopath. Who in their right mind could say such a thing? "Little friend, that's not the way it should be. My divinations are sometimes effective, but sometimes not. Why don't you read a few more divinations? There will always be one that works."

"..."

The world is becoming more corrupt and people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be. Nobita never expected that he would encounter a swindler even after traveling through time to ancient times, so he simply ignored the man and continued riding his little wooden horse.

I have to say, it feels really good to ride this little wooden horse. It wobbles around but it's quite fun.

It is said that since a long time ago, Nobita wanted to ride the rocking cars in front of the stores. He would gently scratch the coin slot of the rocking car with a coin, then put the coin in hard, ride on the car, and let the car call him daddy.

But due to his status, Nobita can't really ride those children's bikes. Unexpectedly, he can fulfill his dream by traveling to ancient times.

Just as Nobita was grabbing the handles on both sides of the horse's head and shaking it, a hand stopped his horse's head, and then another old face came over.

"Little friend, please tell me your fortune. Just pity an old man like me!"

The black cloth on the left side of Wusheng's face was lifted, and a face full of wrinkles and a one-eye appeared in front of Nobita, looking at Nobita with longing eyes.

"Old man, are you annoying? I've already told you that I don't believe it. You asked me to tell your fortune, but I might as well tell it for you. You will be splashed with water and bitten by a dog when you go out." Nobita was annoyed by this man's harassment and took out a notebook and wrote on it.

"Little boy, this handwriting... is really strange. It is somewhat similar to the characters of my Xia country, but it feels quite different. I have traveled all over the world and have never seen such characters. It is really... changed. How is it possible?" The old man was stroking his beard and trying to praise Nobita's calligraphy. As he was praising, his expression became very surprised.

According to the hexagram he calculated himself, it should be "Dragon Fighting in the Wild" and "Seeing Dragon in the Field", but now the "Dragon Fighting in the Wild" which represents bad luck has become "Flying Dragon in the Sky" which represents good luck.

That’s right, this kid is the one ray of hope that I’m looking for!

Wusheng grabbed Nobita's hand with an excited look on his face. If Yunxiang hadn't brought some water over, the old man would have kissed Nobita on the face a few times to show his excitement.

Wusheng was going to die. This was the hexagram he had divined for himself. It was a very bad omen. He didn't know when he would die, but who would want to die if he could live? Besides, Wusheng hadn't become a world-famous fortune teller like his master, so he didn't want to die either.

Then Wusheng thought of what his master once said, there are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and one is hidden by man!
