Chapter 198: The Destitute Fortune Teller
The middle-aged Daoist struggled to his feet, revealing the jie banner he had been using as a cushion for warmth underneath him. He glanced at Song You and immediately nodded, repeatedly saying, "We’re leaving, we’re leaving..."
However, he stumbled, and he heard the voice of the young Daoist behind him just as he took two steps. “Changjing is vast, and the nights are long. Where are you going, fellow Daoist?”
The middle-aged Daoist halted and turned around.
Song You looked at him and, seeing his frail frame, said helplessly, “Fate must’ve brought us together. Please come in, fellow Daoist. Have a cup of hot water and something to eat to warm yourself before you go.”
“…” The middle-aged Daoist met his gaze, his lips moving hesitantly. Finally, he raised his hand to salute, saying, “Thank you, fellow Daoist…”
Song You then opened the door and led the horse inside. Lady Calico followed him over the threshold.
The middle-aged Daoist trailed behind, feeling somewhat relieved upon discovering that Song You was also a Daoist.
“Please take a seat.”
Song You set down his pack and said, “Fellow Daoist, wait a moment while I go upstairs to get a heater and prepare some food for you.”
