Legend of Dream God in a Little Dream

Chapter 240 Signature

Weiwei looked at the small bamboo basket and picked one up.

Weiwei placed the bamboo stick in front of her, and Zengjun also moved closer to Weiwei to look at the words on it.

"Very bad luck!" Zengjun silently read the words above.

"What did you win, little girl?" the shopkeeper asked, still unaware of the situation.

"Both of these are bad fortunes. I'm afraid they're really going to sell some amulets later?" Zeng Jun asked himself, then looked towards the store owner.

Just as Weiwei was about to hand the bamboo sticks to the shopkeeper, Zengjun put the bamboo sticks in Weiwei's hand into a small bamboo basket.

"Are you dissatisfied with the result?" the shopkeeper asked knowingly. After all, if you drew a lucky lot, it would not be like this. Even if it was a winning lot, you would not put it directly back into the small bamboo basket.

"These are meaningless. I just want to see how good my luck will be recently. I am just deceiving myself," Zengjun said to the shop owner, thinking that he had put out all bad fortunes.

Just like you can't get what you want from something that doesn't exist.

Therefore, Zengjun naturally took the lead in not believing in this so-called calculated fate, and thought that this was just a means for the store to make money.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper smiled and handed the small bamboo basket to Zengjun intact in front of him. "You think you don't have it, so you feel that you are being controlled by someone. But what if you are like this all along?" The shopkeeper spoke in a gentle tone, more like a smile and a joke.

Zengjun took the small bamboo basket and asked, "So, do you believe in fate?"

"Believe, what else can you believe in? You always have to have something to rely on in your heart," the shopkeeper said, looking at Zengjun's face, and then his eyes were also on the small bamboo basket in Zengjun's hand.

'He handed it to me in front of me, intact. Does this mean that he didn't tamper with it? Or is he betting that I will believe it and return it to him without looking at it?' Zeng Jun thought.

"But you bet wrong. I not only want to look at them, I want to look at every one of them," Zeng Jun thought, and then started flipping the bamboo sticks in his hand.

The first lot that Zengjun drew was still an unlucky lot, but Zengjun didn't believe it now. After all, the more unlucky the lot was, the more it showed that the store had tampered with it.

Zuojun puts the first lot he draws in his left hand, while holding a small bamboo basket in his left hand, to draw the second lot.

Zengjun looked at the second lot, which was the very unlucky lot that Weiwei had drawn not long ago.

Zengjun smiled. Four consecutive fortune sticks were all bad, which further confirmed his suspicion. But if that was the case, why did the store owner dare to hand it to Zengjun without touching it?

Zengjun drew the third lot, and it had "Great Luck" written on it, which made him a little stunned. However, he was not too surprised, because among the seven lots, the probability of drawing it was still not high.

So Zengjun continued to draw. The fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh lots did not show the word "evil" any more. The worst result was always a draw.

Zengjun put all the bamboo sticks back into the small bamboo basket and returned it to the store.

"How is it? Has anything been tampered with?" the shopkeeper asked as he took it.

"That's not the case, but I never believe in these things," Zengjun said to the shopkeeper.

Pingyi called out to Weiwei and asked her to continue helping him choose some nice ones.

Weiwei followed Pingyi inside and continued to pick out items that they thought were nice and prepared to buy them as souvenirs.

"What if you draw good luck? Will you come and ask me when and what the good luck is?" asked the shopkeeper. But in fact, he knew in his heart that no matter whether Zeng Jun believed it or not, he felt that Zeng Jun would say he didn't believe it. After all, Zeng Jun's first and second lots were both unlucky.

"I don't believe it," Zeng Jun said as expected. This was also what the shop owner had guessed a long time ago. After all, the shop owner had seen a lot of people like this, who didn't believe in fate but knelt down to worship heaven and earth.

What the store owner didn’t know was that Zeng Jun really didn’t believe it, he just happened to draw the second bad number, so it wasn’t very credible.

As for the first signing, Zengjun's original intention was just to see if the store was playing tricks on them.

The shopkeeper took the small bamboo basket, and there was no expression of blame or thought that Zengjun was lying on his face. He couldn't show it either. He was well-mannered, unless he couldn't help but say, "Well, fate is not determined by heaven."

Zeng Jun nodded, "Maybe, destiny is not determined by heaven, it should be held in our own hands"

The shopkeeper also nodded. He looked at Zengjun in front of him and felt that Zengjun was still just a young and frivolous child, just like he used to be, who also believed that fate was not controlled by God.

"After climbing over one mountain after another, you will understand that there are no answers there," the shopkeeper said to Zengjun, as if giving him a suggestion.

"I think I might be able to find what I want on the other side of the mountain. After all, I don't want much," Zengjun said, following the shop owner's words.

"So, what do you want?" the shopkeeper asked, just like the boy who was looking for the answer and was willing to climb mountains and cross rivers to find it.

“What I want is very simple, that is to experience the joy of climbing mountains,” Zengjun said very bluntly, as if he wanted to experience it just for the sake of experience.

"You say one thing and mean another. Who would climb over mountains and cross rivers if not looking for treasure?" the shopkeeper said frankly.

What the store owner said was not wrong. After all, before a person does something, he or she certainly hopes that the result will be beneficial to him or her. This is not wrong either. After all, people who do thankless tasks are either stupid or naive.

"But what if I go in to feel with a heart that has no treasure?" Zeng Jun asked a soul-searching question.

Zengjun's words are also very simple, meaning, what if Zengjun himself does not climb for the result? It's like doing this thing just to learn something and not caring about the result.

However, Zengjun's explanation was very forced, because once one sets out to do something, the initial thought must be to benefit oneself, and the result is just some self-consoling words.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying this. Normal people will not do anything unless it is beneficial. But Zengjun is different. Zengjun wants you to succeed because he just wants you to succeed.

This is a very contradictory thing. It would be great if everything goes as planned, but if things go against one's wishes, Zengjun still maintains his original heart. This is Zengjun's original intention.

The original intention of "赠均" may be similar to the store's idea, but they are not the same thing, nor are they the same idea, just like two people have the same name, but it does not mean they are the same person, they just have the same name.

This is the difference that Zengjun believes in.

The shopkeeper was silent for a moment after hearing this. "If not for the treasure? Then what can be your motivation to move forward?"

After hearing this, Zengjun turned around and looked at Weiwei. This action alone gave the store the answer: Weiwei was Zengjun's motivation.
