Fate is like the caterpillars in the boxed meal on the train, always emerging to disgust you when you're not paying attention. At this moment, I'm sitting in the dining car of Train N-59, staring at the caterpillar in my meal, speechless and choked with emotion.

  During the Spring Festival travel season, this train from Harbin was late as usual. Fortunately, I used all my strength to rush out of the ticket gate and climb onto the dining car first. I felt proud of myself, thinking that the physical training I had been doing with a friend wasn't entirely useless. For example, now I can run faster than others, grab seats more fiercely, and even have time to choose a great spot by the window to enjoy the view outside. Of course, that's all there is to it. And besides, this train ride was at night, so it was pitch black outside and I couldn't see anything.

  When will I, a petty-minded person, change? Even grabbing a seat can make me happy for half a day. Moreover, I surprisingly found this feeling quite refreshing, stuffing big and small packages onto the luggage rack. I sat comfortably in my seat waiting for the train to depart, at which time people also started to get on the dining car one after another. I knew these were all experienced train passengers. After all, it's not easy to buy train tickets now, especially those with seats.

  It can be said that the people who appear in the dining car now are all elites, just like this old man in front of me, carrying a large woven bag and running all the way up without stopping, and still with a red face. I have some doubts whether he was the legendary Little Soldier Zhang Ga when he was young, his hands and feet were so agile.

  Let's talk about the heroic woman beside me, who doesn't seem to be an ordinary person. When I looked out of the car window, I saw her running towards this direction in a flurry, and amazingly, she was still able to send text messages while running. This skill can only be mastered by those who commute every week. As soon as she got on the dining car, her bag arrived before she did. With quick movements, she accurately threw her bag onto the seat beside me, occupying it first, before slowly walking over.

  It's really high, it's actually very high.

  This little sister sat down beside me with a plop, and I caught a whiff of the rich scent of Ikalu shampoo. Turning my head to take her in, she looked like she was only eighteen or nineteen, but she was dressed up to look quite mature. She wasn't short at all - at least 1.74 or 1.75 meters tall, half a head taller than me. Her hair was cut in a lazy, short style that seemed to be really popular these days. When I looked at her profile, her small face still had some baby fat, and suddenly I felt an urge to go pinch it, but I restrained myself.

  It's strange, why does this girl look so familiar? I'm absolutely sure I've seen her somewhere before. So I used my right hand to support my chin and leaned against the table to observe her carefully. She seemed to feel my scorching gaze, turned her head and glared at me, saying: "Do I have flowers on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"

  Getting caught peeking is indeed a pretty embarrassing thing, so I awkwardly smiled at her, but found that she was also staring at me with wide eyes, as if she knew me too. We just stared at each other like this, both feeling familiar with the other person. At this time, the train shook and started moving.

  Thanks to this daze, I suddenly remembered, looking at this girl, and said with some disbelief: "You are... Liu Tingting?"

  She heard me call her like that and smiled with a sudden realization: "Oh, I thought you were a pervert, didn't expect it to be you, Little Fei."

  As expected, I didn't misrecognize her, she is indeed Liu Tingting, the daughter of Liu Ershu from Tuozi Mountain, my childhood playmate. I really didn't expect to run into her here. This girl has changed so much, I remember the last time I saw her was when I went back home for summer break during my freshman year in college, at that time she was preparing for the college entrance exam. We didn't say much to each other then either. And at that time, I still had a head full of blue hair, it's been so many years now, and I've got a face full of vicissitudes, so earlier she also didn't dare recognize me.

  Looking at her, she should be in college now. I remember last year she mentioned to me that she was also studying in Harbin. It's hard to say, but girls change a lot after 18, especially when they enter university. They become taller and more beautiful, and most importantly, they learn how to dress themselves up. Especially with this hairstyle, it makes me, a 1.7-meter-tall man, feel somewhat inferior.

  I really didn't expect this little girl to grow up so pretty, and I was a bit surprised to say: "What a coincidence, I didn't expect us to meet here. By the way, Tingting, where are you studying now?"

  Liu Tingting seemed quite happy to see me, after all this wasn't at home and there was no restraint. She said to me in a tone that sounded somewhat like complaining: "Don't call me by my nickname anymore, it sounds weird. Just call me Liu Yudi instead. I'm studying at X University now, what about you Xiaofei? How are things going?"

  I thought you'd let me call you by your nickname, but instead you're happily calling out "Little Fei Fei" left and right, looks like that stubborn personality from when we were young hasn't changed.

  When it comes to Liu Yudi, I heard him talk about it when I was young, and it seems that he also has a great origin. When she was born, it happened to be raining heavily outside. Liu Ershu was anxiously waiting in the hospital corridor. After about half an hour, a baby's cry came from the delivery room. Coincidentally, the heavy rain outside stopped magically as soon as she was born. Liu Ershu held his child with great joy and wondered what this heavenly sign meant. At that time, Liu Xi Liu Dage, who had come with him, clapped his hands on the seat in the corridor and said: "Good! Good! Good! Earth Wind Sutra! Dry seedling gets six rains, it's the one who solves the problem!!"

  Liu Shu heard his elder brother say this and suddenly realized, then burst into joy, because he knew his elder brother's skills, every word that came out of his mouth was truly precious. He didn't expect his own child to have a fate like "lotus in the drought".

  Because Liu Ershu also understands the rough and simple "Three Pure Divination", so he probably knows that the corresponding hexagram of this destiny is exactly "Two Long Four Short" "Earth Wind Guan", which is the hexagram of dry lotus getting water.

  The hexagram symbol says: The observer is the one who is admired by others. It has the image of a lotus flower getting water in a drought. When the lotus flower gets water, it refers to a pond with lotus flowers that are withering due to the drought. Suddenly, when there is a heavy rain, the flowers flourish again, which is an omen of being helped by a noble person.

  In the past, Confucius' disciple Rui Mu Xi was poor and had nothing when he was young. He divined this hexagram and indeed stored his mind to trade goods and wealth, later becoming rich and having no worries, just like a lotus getting water.

  The elephant said: Things are like lotus flowers emerging from the water, dry days are different from past days, fortunately meeting water to irrigate each other, branches and leaves are heavy with fresh flowers, and the flowers are even more red.

  It just so happened that Liu Ershu's clinic had just opened and business was not good. Seeing his own daughter being so noble, how could he not be delighted? At this time, Liu Xi and Liu Dage pointed to the window of the hospital corridor and said to Liu Ershu: "Look... look..."

  Liu Ershu stepped forward to take a look, and saw that the window above also presented a strange scene. Although it had been raining heavily just now, the window was unusually dry, with only six raindrops on it, arranged in a 4-2 pattern. Liu Ershu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, thinking that his daughter really wasn't an ordinary person.

  Then Liu Ershu named his child 'Liu Yudi'. Since Liu and six are homophones, they took the auspicious sign of these six drops of rain. Generally, families will give their children a nickname, so Liu Ershu used 'Tingting Lotus' as the meaning, and also gave her the nickname 'Liu Tingting'.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, since Liu Yudi was born, Liu Ershu's business has been getting better and better every day. It can be said that this also has a certain relationship with Liu Yudi.

  But when she told me this story, we were both very young. At that time, I couldn't understand what it meant and just thought it sounded mysterious, like the TV series "The Legend of Deification". I remember asking my dad about my name when I got home, and he said with his legs crossed: "What do you mean? Your name is taken from the Xinhua Dictionary, isn't that meaningful?"

  So I didn't say anything, and I remember being upset about it for a long time. Even now when I think back to that incident, I have another thought in my mind - that the Three Pure Ones' divination is indeed a profound subject. Suddenly, I thought of Old Man Liu, thinking that only he could figure out where that escaped female ghost went. But I don't know how he's doing now, or if they've found him yet.

  So I said to her, "Then don't call me 'Little Fei' either. This name sounds so girly, I'm just barely making a living now, working for others. By the way, how's Liu Dajye doing? Have you found him?"

  Liu Yudi sighed and said to me, "You're talking about my grandfather, right? It's been almost three years now, and there's still no news. I have no idea where he went either. My grandmother seems to be getting suspicious too, she's always sighing and saying, 'My eldest son went out to work, why hasn't he come back yet?' I think we can't keep it from her for much longer."

  After listening to her, I was also a little upset. It wasn't because I couldn't find Liu Dage and therefore couldn't figure out the whereabouts of that escaped female ghost, but rather because I was worried about Liu Dage. It seems that back then, Liu Ershu was right in telling me not to practice this "San Qing Shu" too much. Thinking about it now, Liu Daxiong's skills have already surpassed those of Drunken Ghost Liu from back then, yet he still has to suffer the consequences of being separated from his family and drifting aimlessly in a foreign land.

  Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel emotional. Ever since I learned the "Three Pure Ones" book, I haven't encountered any good things, always getting myself hurt, it's really depressing. Sigh.

  After chatting with Liu Tingting for a few more sentences, the dining car started serving meals. It was a standard set meal on the train, similar to what you'd find in a school cafeteria. A person wearing a work uniform pushed a small cart and handed out plastic meal boxes, each containing half a box of rice and four dishes. When I looked at the four dishes, I was taken aback - the pickled mustard greens were all pickled mustard, the celery with peanuts was all celery, the eggplant with cilantro was all cilantro, and the sausage with chili peppers was all chili peppers.

  He's even daring to sell it for twenty? Is there still a king's law? This is blatant robbery! And this is not as good as what I had when I took this bus last year, which was only fifteen yuan.

  I have a feeling that this is a black car, and the service staff in the dining car are like throwing books, brushing and sending out boxed lunches. Her eyes seem to be saying "you love to eat or not, if you don't want to eat, no one will force you".

  Forget it, although I was angry in my heart, but after all, I managed to get a seat. The money had been paid, and I didn't want to eat for nothing. Just as I picked up my chopsticks and was about to start eating, Liu Yudi suddenly spoke up and said to me: "Cui Ge, how about we swap? My box of meat is too much."

  I glanced at the box in her hand and found that there were indeed a few more slices of sausage, it seemed that this little girl was on a diet, hehe, so I didn't hesitate to make an exchange with her, pretending to be reluctant.

  We were eating and chatting, having a great time, when I suddenly felt that the celery in my mouth was particularly tender. As soon as I bit into it, a burst of water came out, and when I looked down, I had almost peed my pants from disgust.

  A green worm in a dish was bitten off by me, half of it has been chewed and swallowed, the other half is still in the lunch box.

  This is disgusting, no need to be so fresh, how can there still be vegetable bugs in the middle of winter? I suddenly found that Liu Yudi was covering her small mouth and forcing herself not to laugh.

  It seems that this little girl had planned it out beforehand, no wonder she was so kind and volunteered to exchange lunch boxes with me. But then I thought about it, something's not right - the bug was hidden in the dish at the bottom, how could she have possibly found it?

  I suddenly thought of something. It can't be that coincidental, but it's not impossible either, after all, she is also a descendant of the Liu family. Thinking of this, I carefully said to her:

  The ancestral temple where the Lingbao is located, six Ding and six Jia oppose it.

  "The imperial edict is like a purple cloud covering the sky, I will not meet with the dragon unless it's the right time."
