120 Shi Fu 2 (2/2)
Shi Fu looked at Yao Ying at a glance and noticed something different about him. ”Come here,” Shi Fu called him to come over and he looked at Yao Ying's pale complexion. He felt that there was something wrong with Yao Ying's body.
Yao Ying came to him and without waiting for Yao Ying to say something, Shi Fu quickly grabbed Yao Ying's hand and he checked on his pulse. ”Hmm...there's something blocking your brain. Hmm... blood clots? Hmmm...” The old man kept murmuring something, making Yao Ying slightly anxious. After a few moments, Shi Fu released Yao Ying's hand and stroke his white beards slowly, thinking.
Even though Shi Fu had the mind of a child and loved to get drunk, but his abilities were all real. Lin Jian could vouch on this aspect. ”Do you have memory loss?” Shi Fu asked seriously.
Yao Ying nodded. He hesitantly looked at Lin Jian, asking with his eyes whether he told Shi Fu or not. Lin Jian seemed to understand what he meant and he shook his head --- he didn't tell him. It was purely Shi Fu's prediction.
”Shi Fu, how do you know?” Yao Ying asked curiously.
”Something is blocking your brain and the result is your memory loss,” Shi Fu explained briefly.
Yao Ying asked hopefully, ”Can you treat me?”
Shi Fu bluntly told him, ”I can't, but I can alleviate a bit of your headache. It seems something triggered a headache reaction and it will happen from time to time. I see that you have already received treatment, but it isn't enough.”
Yao Ying sighed in disappointment but knew that alleviating his headache was already good enough. ”Shi Fu, will there be a day for me to remember my past?” Yao Ying asked softly.
”There's no guarantee. After all, the matter with the brain is simply a mystery. Maybe one day, you can suddenly wake up and remember your past. But maybe... that day will never come. Life works in a mysterious way.” Shi Gu felt pity toward his new disciple, but there was really nothing he could do.
”Let me see your palm!”
Yao Ying quickly gave him his palm. ”Hmmm... you are strongly controlled by destiny. There's a point in your life when you must surrender your interests for the sake of others. Hmmm... there's a break in your lifeline. There would be abrupt changes you will be experiencing in your lifetime -- not only once, but twice. This memory loss is probably one of them. You have one hell of a journey in your life.” Shi Fu concluded what he read from Yao Ying's palm.
'Wow... this Shi Fu of his... how many talents that he has?' Yao Ying listened carefully to what Shi Fu had said about his fate. When he read his palm, Shi Fu seemed like a different person from the childish person previously.
”You have to be careful in making a choice or decision in your life, otherwise you will lose everything,” Shi Fu gave him a piece of advice. Yao Ying nodded and cupped his hands, thanking Shi Fu for giving him a pointer.
Shi Fu mumbled softly to himself, ”Poor child! You really live a hard life! At least, when you don't remember your past, you can leave a peaceful life. I sincerely hope that you don't remember your past, however... who can defeat fate?”
Yao Ying and Lin Jian couldn't make out what he was saying. Both of them asked together, ”What did you say, Shi Fu?”
Shi Fu just smiled mysteriously but didn't say anything else.
”Shi Fu, you are really biased. You have a new disciple and you forget the old one! I always ask for you to read my palm, but you never do it for me! But... you read Yao Ying's!” Lin Jian whined.
”You have no problem with your life, so what's the use of reading yours?! You will always forever be a brat!” Shi Fu laughed at Lin Jian's childish behavior. ”Besides, my divination always comes in a whim!”
Well... that's true! Lin Jian sadly pouted. Shi Fu's divine skill could only be triggered by certain unknown events. That's why Lin Jian couldn't really blame the old man. It seemed like Yao Ying indeed had a complicated past. It made him slightly more curious... who is he, actually?
