Chapter 56: Exchange Fate (Part 3)

She said with a firm tone: “As a Maiden Girl, after being reborn, she is destined to face the calamity of death. The only way to survive is to ‘replace yourself with others’.”

At this time, Mrs. Liu and Mr. He were completely desperate.

Gu Zhisang frowned slightly, walked to the hospital bed, and looked at Niuniu carefully. Her pair of slightly raised phoenix eyes seemed to be able to see through people from the inside out, which made Niuniu a little nervous.

She stretched out her slender fingertips and stroked the little girl’s blackened seal twice, feeling puzzled from the bottom of her heart:

“Why is this little girl still alive?”

Host Liu coughed lightly, reminding her to restrain herself in front of the camera and not to say such ambiguous words.

Gu Zhisang waved her hand: “I observed the soul fire of her life palace. In her previous life, she should be a maiden girl under the ‘Innate God’. If she is called back, her soul should leave her body within 3 days.”

The so-called “innate gods” were gods that were naturally derived from the Dao, and their identities were higher than those of human immortals, ghost immortals, and animal immortals.

For example, the God of Wealth and the God of Marriage.

The status of the “Maiden Child” under the care of the “innate gods” was also high, and the number was limited. Even if she was exiled to the underworld or the mortal world, she would be called back.

Niuniu has been sick for too long, which was unreasonable.

However, her soul fire showed that she was indeed a Maiden Girl.

Gu Zhisang squinted her phoenix eyes. She always felt that she had overlooked something, but she couldn’t think of it for a while.

She took out her ancient coins and made divinations, but she saw nothing unusual. Then she read Niuniu’s eight characters and ten gods.

In ancient times, there was a formula for querying the fate of the real Maiden Child: If the destiny is to be born in spring or autumn (calculated by month order) if the day branch or hour branch meets Yin or Zi; If the destiny is to be born in winter or summer if the day branch or hour branch meets Mao, Wei or Chen; The year pillar is made of gold or wood, and the day branch or hour branch shows Wu or Mao. The year pillar’s sound is water or fire, and the day branch or hour branch indicates You or Xu. The Nian Pillar’s Nayin is Earth Ming, and the Sun Branch or Hour Branch shows Chen or Si.

Judging from the horoscope, Niuniu was born in the golden autumn of October. There were three branches of Jia, Yin, and Zi in the month and day branches.

Moreover, her five elements moved more towards water and earth, lack of gold and wood, and the moon branch, sun branch, and three branches of Yi, Mao, and Wei were intertwined.

Which means she was a real ‘Maiden Girl’.

Most of the ‘Maiden Children’ that lived among human were either misjudged or was called another being the “shadow boy” which was very rare.

Gu Zhisang believed in her intuition.

Her soul has entered the ranks of earth immortals, and she has a sense of heaven and earth’s spiritual energy, and her intuition rarely makes mistakes.

Niuniu was the first troublesome existence she encountered after her reincarnation. She became more interested and began to deduce Niuniu’s parents.

This deduction made her see something.

Gu Zhisang looked at Mrs. Liu who was in a depressed mood, studied her face for a long time, and said:

“Mrs. Liu, your parents have passed away, and you have no brothers or sisters, so the only relatives you have are your husband and daughter.”

Mrs. Liu glanced at Gu Zhisang and nodded slowly.

It was her great regret in her life that her parents passed away early, which was the reason her family was very important to her.

Although she and her husband were very affectionate after marriage, for her, her daughter Niuniu was the only one who was connected with her blood and was the most important person in this world.

That’s why after Niuniu got sick, she was so stubborn in trying to cure her.

Gu Zhisang said thoughtfully: “I understand. Besides your husband and daughter, you should have a close friend by your side, right? I don’t know if she is your colleague or what. The intersection is very deep, but you should not have a deep friendship with this person, judging from the look on your face, this person is not your good friend.”

She didn’t see much from Niuniu’s face, but she could see that Mrs. Liu met a villain.

Hearing what Gu Zhisang said, a person popped out of Mrs. Liu’s mind immediately.

The next moment she denied it.

Capturing the change of expression on her face, Gu Zhisang said, “You have someone on your mind.”

“No…” Mrs. Liu said awkwardly: “Because my social circle is quite small. There is only one friend who has a good relationship and frequently contacts me as Master Gu said. But that is my best friend. We have known each other for a long time. I have known her since I was a kid. Apart from my family, she is the most important person to me, so she can’t be a bad person.”

Gu Zhisang raised an eyebrow and said: “There is nothing absolute or impossible.”

Mrs. Liu said seriously: “It’s true, my best friend is very, very good to me, and also to my daughter.”

“Let me put it this way, she is Niuniu’s godmother. She bought Niuniu many expensive dolls and toys since she was a child. Didn’t Niuniu get injured while learning taekwondo before? She was very angry with me at that time, thinking that girls should be pampered and shouldn’t be allowed to suffer like this…”

“After she found out Niuniu had a strange disease, she helped me contact famous doctors and take care of Niuniu. When I went to other places, she always accompanied me, comforted me, and told me not to collapse. She always says that the child would be cured…”

“There are still many things. She also has a son herself, and her living conditions are much better than mine now. You also know that Niuniu’s illness has cost a lot of money. My best friend directly paid hundreds of thousands of Niuniu’s medical expenses, and told me that in the future, if the family really can’t support it, just tell her directly, and she will help Niuniu get treatment.”

Mrs. Liu smiled wryly, and said: “If she’s not a good person, then why would she waste her energy and money for Niuniu? And we’ve known each other for so long, and it’s not a day or two since she’s been nice to Niuniu. It’s been like this since she was a child.”

“I’m ashamed to say that every time Niuniu and Xiao Hong—my best friend’s son have a little conflict, my best friend will always favor Niuniu over Xiao Hong. Sometimes I feel that she is too kind to our family. Having such a friend in this life is worth it.”

From what Mrs. Liu said, she can see why she firmly believed in her best friend.

Gu Zhisang tilted her head: “She has a son? How old is he?”

“It’s the same age as Niuniu.” Mrs. Liu said: “It’s also our fate. She and I were pregnant at about the same time. Because of our good relationship, the preparations and deliveries were all set in the same hospital and ward.”

Mr. He interjected and said: “Her husband and I always bring them soup together.”

“Yes, it’s amazing to be pregnant at about the same time, we both start the front and rear legs!”

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: “At that time, our natural delivery periods were almost the same, and I even joked that the two children might be destined to be born on the same day. But she had contractions early noon, but I didn’t have contractions. There was no movement at all. I thought that our children would not be born on the same day…”

Unexpectedly, when her best friend gave birth, she had a little difficulty delivering. The baby’s fetal position was not right due to constant uterine contractions, and she tossed for a long time.

Instead, she had contractions at night, and they gave birth together in the early morning of the next day.

Gu Zhisang was thoughtful and realized something: “So your two children were born at the same time.”

Mrs. Liu: “It’s about the same. I heard from the doctor that the time is very close. I don’t know the specifics. I just know that Niuniu came out a little later and is the younger sister, and Xiao Hong is the elder brother who came out a little earlier.”

Gu Zhisang: “Can you confirm that boy’s exact time of birth? Is it the same hour as your daughter?”

“I haven’t asked this carefully.” Ms. Liu was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Gu Zhisang asked was strange: “Why did Master Gu ask these questions? Does it have anything to do with my daughter’s illness?”

Gu Zhisang smiled as her phoenix eyes were slightly curved, but her smile couldn’t reach her eyes: “Maybe.”

“If that boy is also born in Yinshi, then he is also very likely to be a ‘Maiden Child’.”
