Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Why Consult a Fortune Teller When a Child is Lost?

Jiang Li looked back and saw several aunties linking arms, walking up the ridges of the fields and heading straight for her.

The leader was indeed the aunt to whom she had read fortunes this morning.

Upon seeing Jiang Li, the aunt explained with a smile, “Girl, we didn’t mean to disturb you deliberately. It’s just that my neighbors here, after hearing that you read my son’s fortune, also wanted to come and have theirs read.”

Someone beside her tapped her lightly, “What are you calling her ‘girl’ for? You should call her ‘master.'”

“Oh right, right, ‘master,’ ‘master.'”

[??? Are they all here to have Jiang Li tell their fortunes? Does Jiang Li need so many extras every day?]

[How can some people still not believe in Sister Li’s abilities, with so many testimonials out there? Why the doubt?]

[I don’t think it’s an act. When has anyone ever become famous in the entertainment circle just by relying on a mysticism persona? Jiang Li has always been into Buddhist Scriptures and Zhou Yi, it seems like she really is awesome.]

[Exactly, setting up a mysticism persona is too difficult. Who would bother to hire so many extras to go along with their act? Even if they could coordinate, what about Lu Xingchao? Everyone knows he has a rebellious nature. He used to be a hater of Jiang Li, how could he possibly cooperate in an act?]

Seeing this comment, Lu Xingchao: “…..”

Was it still possible for him to delete those anti-goddess posts from his Weibo?

Under the tree.

Jiang Li closed her book, stood up, and addressed the women with a gentle smile, “Aunts, I don’t mean to dampen your spirits, but my fortune-telling always relies on fate, and I don’t just accept anyone who comes. Moreover, everyone has limited energy, and I cannot manage to read fortunes for so many people.”

Although she spoke words of rejection, her choice of words was tactful, and her tone was gentle, her expression sincere, making it hard for anyone to feel embarrassed or uneasy.

The group of forthright aunties could only nod in agreement.

“That makes sense, the master doesn’t have the energy to read fortunes for everyone.”

However, a woman dressed in navy clothes squeezed through the crowd, her face anxious, “Then master, can you read my fortune? It’s quite urgent. I haven’t seen my little girl since this morning. Can you tell me where she might be?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” The previous aunt who sought Jiang Li’s fortune-telling for her son quickly brought the woman forward, introducing her to Jiang Li, “Her last name is Xu, and she lives just across from my house. Today, seeing her going door-to-door searching for her daughter, I remembered that just yesterday you helped the village chief’s family find Hu Zi, so I thought I’d bring her over to try.”

Aunt Xu nodded vigorously, her eyes brimming with tears, her hands trembling slightly as they rested on her stomach.

“The thing is, master, the child is on summer break now, so she’s been playing around a lot these last few days.”

“This morning, I personally saw her go next door to play with a classmate, but when I went to call them for lunch, her classmate said she had already gone home.”

“I was so anxious, I went door-to-door looking, but there was no sign of her.”

“My husband is still busy in the fields and hasn’t come back. If he finds out I lost sight of our child, he might ask for a divorce.”

Aunt Xu continued, wiping her tears and sobbing quietly.

A few people nearby quickly came over to comfort her and reassure her.

[My goodness, another missing child? Is there something wrong with this village’s Feng Shui?]

[It’s probably just kids playing hide and seek. I did the same when I was young, and when my dad found me, I got a beating I’ll never forget.]

“The people who said it was an act can come and slap me now, how does this look like acting? Auntie’s face is practically written with the word ‘collapse.'”

“It’s not okay, if a child is lost, why consult a fortune teller?? Hurry up and call the police, can Jiang Li please stop misleading people here!”

“Exactly, it’s too much, the villagers are easily confused, and now look, one by one they all run to the fortune-teller, completely oblivious to using legal measures.”

A wave of indignant voices quickly erupted in the live broadcast room.

Most people felt that relying on fortune-telling to find someone’s child was utterly unreliable and might even delay the critical rescue window, and they started accusing Jiang Li.

Some even called the show’s producers, demanding that they step in and not let such people continue to spread bad influences on variety shows.

Meanwhile, after hearing Aunt Xu’s words, Jiang Li nodded and said, “Okay then, tell me your daughter’s birthdate, and I’ll take a look.”

“Eh, okay.”

Aunt Xu hastily reported her daughter’s birthdate to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li murmured it a few times to herself and then began to deduce, soon she smiled faintly.

“Aunt Xu, don’t worry, your daughter is fine. Her Four Pillars of Destiny indicate great fortune this year, there won’t be any health or life issues.”

Aunt Xu instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s wonderful, that’s wonderful, but where in the world did my little girl run off to?”

Jiang Li pondered for a moment and said, “Do you have relatives in the next village over?”

Aunt Xu glanced at the person next to her, somewhat surprised, “Yes, yes, yes, master, you’re really incredible, you even figured that out. My parents’ home is just over the next mountain at Xu Village. It’s not far, and we visit often.”

“That’s it then, your daughter should be at her grandma’s house. You should call and ask.”

Aunt Xu exclaimed, “Ah?” and quickly pulled out her cell phone to make a call.

After a round of inquiries, she found out her daughter was indeed at her uncle’s house!

The young girl didn’t want to be home being supervised by her mother to do homework, and she found her classmate’s house boring, so she ran off to her grandma’s house to spend a few days.

Aunt Xu had taken her there a few times before, and the little girl secretly memorized the way and sneaked off without telling anyone.

Her uncle was initially unaware until Aunt Xu called him. When he checked the house, he actually found his niece upstairs.

Everyone was both shocked and relieved, and Aunt Xu, both scared and angry, grabbed the phone and furiously scolded her daughter.

But in the end, they found the child, and after calming her emotions, she quickly turned to thank Jiang Li.

“Master, you really are a prophet, if it weren’t for you, I would never have thought she would secretly run to her grandma’s house. Thanks to you, I’m relieved now.”

Jiang Li smiled and said, “It’s nothing Aunt Xu, as long as the person is found it’s good. But I still want to remind you about parenting methods, try not to be too extreme, leading with gentleness is the right way.”

Aunt Xu, thinking of her recent outburst, her face blushed, “Eh, eh, I’ll remember this, don’t worry, I won’t hit her. I’ll go to her uncle’s house right now and have a good chat with her, let her understand the dangers of children running off, but maybe I’ve been too strict these past few days, I’ll leave her at her uncle’s house to relax a bit longer.”

The audience who witnessed the entire process were stunned.

They had watched Jiang Li predict the girl’s whereabouts, and then it was verified.

Even if they were hiring actors, could they really come up with such an outrageous yet plausible script?
