The eldest sister brought them to Zhang Fengâs house and refused to walk any further. âYou guys go ahead. I wonât go over. This person is too strange. Iâm afraid that it will affect the feng shui of our children, so I wonât accompany you.â
Tan Rou finally gave her sister a hundred yuan, which made five hundred. âThank you, Sister. Weâve troubled you to bring us here. This is a little token of our appreciation. Please accept it.â
The lady was very happy to see the money. She immediately accepted the money and reminded them again, âYou have to be careful. That old man is very strange. He often talks about how he can see other peopleâs past and next lives. Itâs really scary.â
Tan Ronâs heart skipped a beat. That old man could actually see what happened in her previous life. Could he also see what happened before she was reborn?
She had always been curious about why she was reborn. Even after seeing the stone, she had not figured out the reason for her rebirth. Although not knowing the reason did not affect her current life, she was still a little worried. What if one day everything disappeared? What if this was just Tan Ronâs dream?
âXiao Rou, Xiao Rou?â Zhuang Liu saw that Tan Rou was in a daze and could not help but pat her shoulder.
âIf youâre nervous, Iâll go in alone.â
Tan Rou came back to her senses. She shook her head and replied, âItâs nothing. Iâm just thinking about how to tell that old man. That medicinal herb must be very important to the old mister. He definitely wonât take it out easily.â
After the elder sister left, Tan Rou took the initiative to knock on the door. The door was made of solid wood and was relatively thick. Tan Rou used a lot of strength to knock on the door.
However, no one came to open the door for her after she knocked several times. It was as if there was no one inside at all. However, there was a pool of water on the ground outside. It had not dried yet, which meant that the person inside had just come out to pour water.
âIs it because your ears are not good and you didnât hear it?â Zhuang Liu thought that some old man was too old to hear. âLet me try.â
Zhuang Liu used a lot of strength and knocked on the door loudly, but no one came to knock for them.
Tan Rou was a little anxious, but she could not kick the door open. She could only wait at the side with Zhuang Liu to see if that person would come out again.
The weather was neither hot nor cold. It was cloudy today, so it was quite comfortable. The environment here was not bad. If Tan Rou was not busy now, she would probably tour around here with Zhuang Liu.
The sun slowly moved towards the west. Tan Rou and the others had been waiting for almost two hours, but no one came out. Moreover, the stone walls were very thick, so they could not hear the voices of the people inside.
Zhuang Liu looked at the setting sun and advised Tan Rou. âItâs late. Letâs go back first. Weâll come back tomorrow.â
Tan Rou refused to leave. This concerned her grandfatherâs life, so she had to get the herbs from the old man. Zhuang Liu still wanted to say something, but he heard the heavy door open. The creaking sound reached their ears, and it sounded a little scary.
Tan Rou stood up immediately. She looked at the door and saw a skinny old man walking out. The old man was holding a bowl and seemed to be out for dinner.
After seeing Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu, the old manâs eyes suddenly lit up, as if he was very interested in them.
âIs this Mr. Zhang Feng?âTan Rou asked.
After Zhang Feng saw her, he kept staring at her as if he wanted to see through her.
Tan Rou felt a little strange. She felt that this old man had a familiar aura, but she could not remember where she had seen him before. Although she knew many old men, she was sure that she had never seen this person before.
âMr. Zhang?â Tan Rou asked again, âHello!â
Zhang Feng was still looking into Tan Ronâs eyes. Then, he smiled and said something very surprising. âWe finally meet. The fated ones.â
Zhuang Liu became alert. He stood in front of Tan Rou and asked, âDo you know us?â
The skinny old man narrowed his eyes and smiled. âI donât knowyou, but I think I should know this little girl.â
Tan Rou was more alert. She said, âMr. Zhang, I heard that you have a very precious medicinal herb. I want to buy this medicinal herb. Can you sell it to me?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
