Chapter 19: Showdown (Part 3)

As she rubbed the tortoiseshell in her hand, she walked around the house several times. After a while, she found six pieces of 1 yuan coin from the drawer. Jiang Wei and Fatty Wang were confused, so they kept looking at Lin Qingyin. Then, they saw her put the coins in the tortoiseshell… …

They don’t know if it was an illusion, but they vaguely seemed to hear a cry with some grievances.

Lin Qingyin sat back at the table, looked at the first question, then shook the tortoiseshell. When the six coins fell on the table, Lin Qingyin glanced at it, then wrote the letter ‘B’ in the parentheses of the first question on the test paper… …

Jiang Wei: “……….”

Fatty Wang: “……….”

Lin Qingyin finished the multiple-choice question on the first page after shaking the tortoiseshell. Seeing that the second question was judgment, Lin Qingyin was happier. She didn’t even use the tortoiseshell, she simply threw a coin. The front side was true, while the backside was false.

Jiang Wei looked dazzled but also felt that his brain went blank. He has become the top student for more than 10 years, but it was the first time he had seen someone do this.

The answer is……

After flipping the book, Jiang Wei, who looked for the answer, slapped the table. The Little Master’s answer was right!

Why a coin can give the right answer?!

After finishing the previous questions, Lin Qingyin was stunned when she saw the next question. Jiang Wei propped his head to look at it and sigh in relief. Even if she can use divination in multiple-choice and judgment questions, there was no way she can use the coins to answer the short question.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qingyin only paused for a moment and then picked up the tortoiseshell again. A moment later, she suddenly picked up the geography book and turned to page 73. Jiang Wei couldn’t help but stand up and looking at the book. The content of that page was the answer to that short question.

Jiang Wei: “!!!……”

Can you tell me how did a coin tells you on which page is the right answer?

Jiang Wei, who’s brain almost collapsed, kept looking at Lin Qingyin. After copying the answer, Lin Qingyin picked up the tortoiseshell and then found the answer to the next question accurately. Looking at Fatty Wang, who was also dumbfounded next to him, Jiang Wei hit him with his arm and asked: “Fat brother, how did the Little Master know where the right page number is?”

Fatty Wang looked at him and said: “If I know this, I have become a master too!”

There were only five short answer questions. Soon Lin Qingyin finished copying the answers and put the written test paper aside. Only then did she found that the two people in the house looked at her strangely.

“Little Master…” Jiang Wei sighed bitterly: “You are not doing this at school, are you?”

Lin Qingyin looked up at him: “What’s wrong? Doesn’t the teacher allow this?”

Jiang Wei gave her a blank look, the teacher never said student can’t do this… …

Because the teachers don’t expect that students will use divination to answer the test!

Fatty Wang pushed Jiang Wei, who had been heartbroken, aside and flattered the Little Master: “The little master can give divination accurately. However, these coins are not good. I know an antique street that sells all kinds of things. It’s better to go there and buy some ancient coins.”

Lin Qingyin’s heart suddenly moved after hearing those words. However, she simply stretched out her hand to pick up the tortoiseshell and started another divination. Her calculation took longer than before, and she looked more serious.

After 3 minutes, Lin Qingyin put down the tortoiseshell: “In an hour, we will go to the Antique Street.”

Fatty Wang immediately agreed and clapped his hands: “The time calculated by the Little Master must be a good time. I’m sure she’ll find the ancient coins she likes.”

Jiang Wei: “……….”

He felt that if they were in ancient times, he must be an upright and loyal minister, while Fatty Wang was… …

Hmph! A eunuch who flattered people!

Qicheng can also be regarded as a city with a cultural heritage. It was the capital of the dynasty 2 or 3 thousand years ago, which is why it has many historical relics. In recent decades, there has been a lot of news about ancient coins being dug up when building houses in this place.

When Fatty Wang was still setting up a stall to do fortune-telling, he mixed with the people in the market every day. These three Religions and Nine Schools were not unfamiliar to him, and there was no place he doesn’t know. He was like a treasure map uncle. There was nothing Lin Qingyin wants that he can’t find.

Fatty Wang drove to Antique Street. Antique Street was divided into two parts. The front has a four-story red building, which sells paintings and calligraphy, porcelain bottles, and other works of art. Behind the red building, there were a few years old alleys with various shops. Some shops have never been renovated, and now looked low and dim like old houses. While some have been decorated with large plaques and looked very stylish. These shops sell different kinds of antique literary play, so it’s hard to say whether what they say was true or not. At the end of the street, some small stalls, who only pay 10 yuan for a sanitation management fee per day, were lining up.

Lin Qingyin wanted to buy ancient coins for fortune-telling. Fatty Wang took her directly to the back street. It was not yet noon at this time, so there were only a few people on the back street. Most of them looked like tourists, and only a few came to search for things. Some of the shop owners were sitting in the shop playing with their mobile phones, while others were sitting under the trees, drinking tea or eating walnuts. When these people saw that they looked like silly people who had a lot of money, they yelled at them one by one.
