Chapter 0004: Old Woman Liu

I took a closer look at her disease palace and could only grit my teeth and say: "Ten years!"

After she finished speaking, she continued to dig at Uncle Zhang's grave with her dry hands, as if digging up someone's grave in the middle of the night was perfectly normal in her eyes

Ah?

I will come to find you again in a month, hoping that by then you can give me, an old woman, a glimmer of hope

I continued to walk up the mountain, and by the middle of the night, I finally arrived at the large tree where my mother was injured last time. I shouted a few times: "Mom, I have come to see you, please come out and meet me."

What is there to eat that is so shriveled? Take it away, don't bother me, Liu Pozi

"Let's go, tidy up a bit, the two of us are heading up the mountain!" my master said

Thinking of this, I hurriedly ran home. When I got back, I confirmed that my master's door was still closed before I quietly returned to my room, took a shower, changed into a fresh set of clothes, and then went out

I was so frightened that my face turned pale. No wonder she goes to the graveyard to look for food. Knowing that she is also a spirit, I felt like screaming. What energy does she have left to tell fortunes?

Old Liu's nose is very large, even bigger than Long Ge's. Although the bridge of her nose is said to be wrinkled and unsightly, overall, it can be considered quite prominent, as if she has had a large piece of bone implanted, making it appear particularly strange and uncoordinated

The master's tone remains as indifferent as ever, leaving me feeling half-hearted. It seems that the master has already made up his mind to kill my mother

Old Liu glared at me, and that gaze made me shiver all over. I quickly shone my flashlight on Old Liu's face, analyzing her features according to everything my master had taught me about fortune-telling.

So, this old woman is also... I felt my breath quicken in an instant. She asked me to call her Aunt Liu, which means her surname is Liu, so she is...

I suppressed my trembling body and took a small bread out of my backpack, shakily extending it with my hand, "Grandma, here, please eat this, it is delicious."

The old woman glanced at me and said in a somewhat sharp voice, "I am hungry, let's find something to eat..."

The leather jacket she wore was even more peculiar, resembling crocodile skin, yet it had scales arranged in patches on its surface, which was quite unsettling. What startled me even more was that her long black hair seemed to be moving on its own

Furthermore, young man, today, for your sake, I will leave this person with a complete corpse... Remember, if you call Gray Sister "Mom," then she will always be your mother. If one day you harm her, then when you die, I will dig up your grave and consume your flesh.

This is different from what I analyzed for my mother that night; these are two rare longevity features, and it seems that Liu Pozi might live even longer than my mother.

Mom? ... ... Knowing to call me Mom, that shows some conscience. https://m.hetushu.com.com What? Are you still afraid that I, your old lady, will eat you?

In the darkness, the voice of Liu Pozi echoed, and I found it strange in my heart. Hope? What hope could I offer her

It is just that her face is too sharp, and her cheekbones are too high, with almost no eyebrows. Generally, this is the appearance of a person who is about to die, but she is quite spirited and should have another ten years of life.

Certainly

How can I bear to watch my mother die

I awkwardly shook my head; if she truly knew my mother, then she should, for my mother's sake, refrain from taking action against me

Willow, old woman of the willow, I ... ...

As she spoke until the end, Liu Pozi's voice grew increasingly faint, and I stood there in a daze for a long time before regaining my senses

After a moment of silence, Liu Pozi finally sighed, "It's about what I estimated..."

I went out to buy breakfast, and when I returned, I happened to see my master coming out of the room. I handed him the breakfast, and he glanced at me and then said, "Is everything ready?"

She stared at me for a few seconds, then suddenly stood up and slowly moved towards me. No, it wasn't walking; it was as if she was writhing on the ground as she approached. I was completely bewildered by such a strange way of moving.

I suppressed the urge to run away and gritted my teeth as I approached a little closer, repeatedly shining my flashlight, only to discover in the darkness an old woman in a leather coat, still digging at a grave with her withered hands

The entire face, in the eyes of our fortune-teller, is divided into twelve palaces, which include the eyes, ears, mouth, nose, chin, forehead, and earlobes. The part that indicates a person's lifespan is the bridge of the nose, located between the eyes.

I was taken aback; could the gray girl she mentioned be the she-wolf that nursed me when I was a child, my goodness

I gritted my teeth and continued, "Grandma..."

I spent more than ten minutes by hand re-burying Uncle Zhang's grave, as we are all from the same village

The old woman waved her hand impatiently, and I quickly withdrew my own hand

I almost shouted, how could Uncle Zhang's coffin be dug up by someone

I thought that Old Liu would continue to dig the grave, but unexpectedly, after casting a glance at me, she clasped her hands behind her back, bent slightly at the waist, and slowly moved away, twisting her body as she went.

The old woman's strange face revealed a hint of peculiarity, her withered visage stirred slightly, and two large, yellowed fangs emerged from the corners of her mouth, particularly unsettling

Ready. I nodded

Old Liu's pair of emerald green eyes fixed intently on me, as if she were about to devour me whole; I felt a chill run down my spine and could only grit my teeth and nod.

"Do not call me old granny! If you must call me, refer to me as Liu Pozi!" The old woman had a very irritable temperament; she suddenly lifted her head and stared at me intently

When I shone the light over, the old woman lifted her head, and I could clearly see her face, which was very pointed, her chin seemingly capable of piercing through flesh. What sent chills down my spine was her skin, which was wrinkled and resembled that of a person suffering from ichthyosis, layer upon layer, making my legs go weak.

Being stared at with such a gaze made all the hairs on my body stand on end in defense, and I instinctively took a step back, my legs trembling even more violently

Can I predict the fate of a spirit creature?

"Let's get started, calculate for me, my dear wife," the old woman urged.

Old Liu said sharply, and her eyes turned green, filled with anger, as if I were cursing her to death

Hearing her words, I breathed a sigh of relief

Upon hearing these words, my legs trembled uncontrollably. This is the grave of Uncle Zhang; what could possibly be eaten from within the grave

She is too old, her face is full of wrinkles, and her features have somewhat deformed. Just now, she wanted me to tell her how much longer she could live, and I could only gaze at her disease palace to make a judgment.

Just as I was feeling a knot in my heart, the old woman continued, "Come, tell me my fortune! How many more years can this old woman live!"

"Don't be so timid, you little rascal. Hurry up! My wife is starving to death. If you delay any longer, I might just swallow you whole."

I asked with a trembling voice, having already remained sufficiently composed upon seeing such a strange old woman in the graveyard

Be precise.

I sighed as I glanced at Uncle Zhang's grave

I could only force myself to scrutinize the appearance of Liu Pozi, "Um, would you mind if I shine a flashlight on you"

In the silence of the old book, there was no response to me, which made me even more anxious. If my master goes up the mountain tomorrow, he will definitely bring a gun. If my mother encounters my master, it would be certain death for her

Moreover, her forehead, which is also referred to as the heavenly court, appears as if it has been injected, swollen and prominent. Such a facial feature, if seen on a human face, would resemble that of an extraterrestrial. However, in the eyes of us fortune tellers, this is indeed a true sign of longevity.

Grandma, what are you doing here

But there was no response to my voice, and I became anxious. I then shouted, "Mom, my master is coming to get you; if you hear this, hide immediately"

I continued to shout until my voice became hoarse, yet my mother still had not appeared. Was she angry that I did not want the things she offered me?

I thought for a moment and said cautiously, "You should have about ten more years to live"

I let out a bitter laugh; looking up, I saw that the sky was already dimly lit. I needed to hurry back. Even if my mother didn't hear me, having accompanied my master today might just save her life at a critical moment

"Not bad, not bad. You must be the child that the gray-haired lady saved back then, right?" The old woman stared at me for a while, her voice softening a bit.

I hesitated and said, "Do you know my mother?"

She continued to dig the grave with her hands, and I stood there at a loss. Uncle Zhang and I were from the same village, and watching this strange old woman unearth his grave, I truly could not bear it.
