Chapter 697: Yue Lao's Difficulties
Although there were problems with the Red Line Boy, Li Ke still called a large number of magpies to help. In an instant, the entire Huashan Mountain was boiling, and countless magpies swarmed in and all landed on the top of the mountain where Li Ke's soul was.
Li Ke looked at the large flock of magpies and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Magpies are used by other birds to hatch their eggs. They are considered the most irresponsible birds. However, as a symbol of love...
So looking at these magpies, Li Ke asked.
"Well, let me ask first, do you let other birds raise your children?"
The magpies looked at each other and shook their heads, then a very stylish bird came over and spoke in a melancholy bass voice.
"Of course not, Saint. Since we have become members of the Heavenly Court's subordinate organization, we don't have to do things that are against the will of Heaven. Besides, the salary you give us is enough for us to support our family, so we won't give our children to others to raise. However, this thing is human nature, so it's not very good to take care of it."
The magpie spoke somewhat awkwardly, and the red-line boy beside him also spoke at the right time beside Li Ke.
"Sometimes they are so busy dating that they forget about their children. So the magpies that can successfully survive are good at surviving in the wild and doing housework. Some even have strong hands-on skills?"
"Hands-on ability?"
“It means that he is very good at fighting.”
"How good is your fighting ability?"
"Your current Senior Brother Chunyang, your chief disciple, can't last more than three rounds in front of the youngest son of the magpie in front of you."
I understand, those who cultivate Taoism and those who practice martial arts.
"Then let's start today's work."
Li Ke spoke. He looked at the ball of thread in his hand. It was just a small roll and he had no way of starting to work.
But the magpies just stared at him, motionless.
At this time, the Red Line Boy spoke again.
"Working lunch, ahem, working lunch."
Li Ke: “…”
He finally understood why modern young people have no love. The environment is one reason, but the key point is, in this situation where no one worships Yue Lao, how can he raise magpies? ! And raise such a large group of magpies to collect love as red strings for people? !
So Li Ke coughed lightly, took a look at his mall, and asked.
"Do you guys have any dietary restrictions?"
"It's good if it's cooked, but it's better if it's not buggy."
The bass magpie answered humbly.
Li Ke silently withdrew his hands from buying mealworms and breadworm feed, and bought instant noodles and bread.
It’s okay. As the son of a prince, he has a relatively high salary and can afford to support him.
After finishing the meal, the magpie quickly flew to various places to look for love, and Li Ke also started his work -
"are you sure?"
Li Ke looked at the lady in front of him and the beggar on the side and couldn't help scratching his head.
It’s not that he looked down on beggars, but he was afraid that once the marriage line was broken, the beggar would be killed by the family of this lady.
But the Red Line Boy spread his hands.
"That's what the booklet says. This is an example that God has arranged to encourage people who are down and out not to give up hope and thus achieve success, so I'll just go with it."
“This is really…”
Li Ke looked at the beggar in silence, sighed, and then took out his life and death book and marriage book and compared them. But soon he found that the information in the life and death book was also in the marriage book, so he started to read the marriage book.
"Well, the lives of the two people will end on the same day without any setbacks. In the previous life, they were a pair of lovers who had been in love for a long time and had made an agreement at the Three Lives Stone...Although the man is a beggar, after seeing the lady, he lost his appetite and delayed his journey. He felt like a beggar and gave up on himself, so he went to save people. He saved a wealthy businessman, who then sponsored him to take the exam. In the exam room, he met a friend of his father's generation, and then he successfully passed the exam and became an official. He happened to be trying the case of this lady..."
Li Ke tilted his head. What the hell... How could other beggars have such luck? Not to mention that this guy is a typical second-generation official, his family just fell into poverty. He has been well-read since childhood and even met a noble person in the examination room.
“…Is this really inspirational?”
"It's the times, it's the times."
The Red Line Boy shrugged.
Li Ke had no choice but to start his work.
Fortunately, the work was relatively easy at the beginning. After finishing some marriages arranged by God, Li Ke came to the Yue Lao Temple to listen to prayers.
After all, if you don’t know the requirements, how can you better serve everyone?
but--
"Matchmaker, matchmaker, please give me a husband who looks like Pan An and Song Yu, and who is rich and powerful!"
A lady from a wealthy family, weighing about 300 pounds, knelt down in front of Li Ke, begging continuously.
"Matchmaker, matchmaker, please give me a wife as beautiful and short-lived as Xi Shi! It would be best if the dowry is extremely rich, and it would be best if there is one every year..."
This is a person who only thinks about beautiful things instead of making progress all day long.
"Matchmaker, matchmaker, please let me marry the young lady from the official family in Chang'an."
This is a soldier on guard duty at Yanmen Pass.
"Matchmaker, matchmaker, please let me and Brother Niu be together forever... and by the way, let his wife marry the beggar..."
"Matchmaker, please let me sleep with the woman from the next street. Even though I only saw one side of her, I absolutely love her with all my heart!"
Li Ke: “…”
Li Ke was numb after hearing this.
On the other side, there was Red Line Boy, who took out a cigarette from somewhere and lit it for himself, with a look of disillusionment on his face, and was just laughing at Li Ke's joke, with the attitude of a veteran.
"Humans are really sincere about love, aren't they?"
It was unclear whether his words were sarcasm or a joke, but Li Ke felt that this was the beginning of the disaster.
This is indeed the case. After listening to the believers' prayers , Li Ke began to draw the red line, and then -
He felt like he was going to the eighteenth level of hell.
But Hong Xian Tongzi was very open-minded.
"It doesn't matter. The matchmaker won't be responsible anyway. You can just hold the hand. It won't be me who will be in charge after that."
Li Ke: “…”
After finishing a day's work, Li Ke felt that his head was full of trivial matters, and this job made him completely disappointed in marriage and love.
"No wonder the old man in the myth has no wife...if you see this too much, it will make you disappointed in love."
But just when his soul returned to his body, his other nephew came to see him.
"Uncle Master, this is the Lingshen powder that Master specially asked us to bring to you. It will help you replenish your Qi and blood. Also, I heard that you like dolls very much, so I bought one for you too. Take a look. Isn't it festive?"
Li Ke, who had actually worked 246 hours today, suddenly sat up from the bed, and then saw that his nephew named Shangguan Boyu had brought him a new doll.
Doll of the God of Wealth.
Li Ke: “…”
Li Ke covered his face in pain, while Shangguan Boyu looked at Li Ke curiously, wondering what happened to his junior uncle.
"Uncle Junior Master, do you think medicine is bitter and don't like to eat it?"
He asked out of curiosity, but Li Ke just responded with empty eyes.
"No, I just found out that it is true that every day feels like a year..."
