Chapter 10

When Zhao Lili heard Tang Zhendong ask this, she was a bit puzzled, "How do you know my father is a monkey in the Chinese zodiac?"

When Tang Zhendong heard Zhao Lili confirm that her father was a monkey, his heart sank. According to the layout of Zhao Lili's room, this arrangement had definitely been in place for more than a day or two, at least a year or more. Tang Zhendong had been living here for nearly a year, and when he moved in, Zhao Lili was already living here.

The long-armed monkey in Zhao Lili's room was hung right next to the entrance, which was precisely the northwest corner.

The northwest direction is the Qian position, representing the father, which is Zhao Lili's father. This position is associated with the metal element, which represents monkeys and roosters.

The reason Tang Zhendong asked Zhao Lili if her father was a monkey or a rooster was to confirm whether the long-armed monkey hanging on the wall represented her father. As expected, Zhao Lili's father was indeed a monkey.

This means that this direction is beneficial for monkeys and roosters, as well as metal objects. Metal objects, such as gold and silverware, and sharp objects, all belong to the metal category.

Many people also worship the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in this direction because these people lack the metal element, so they need to supplement it.

Originally, hanging a long-armed monkey in this position was actually a good thing, but the problem was that the long-armed monkey was hidden on top of the wardrobe, not openly sitting on it.

This wasn't the most critical issue, however. The most critical issue was that a needle was stuck in the chest of the long-armed monkey. Metal governs the throat, nose, tongue, lungs, and large intestine.

The needle was precisely stuck in the lung area of the long-armed monkey representing her father. The needle is made of metal, and the lungs also represent metal. When two metals collide, it becomes excessive, and excess leads to decline.

Moreover, the monkey was in a hidden position.

Therefore, Tang Zhendong concluded that Zhao Lili's father must have a hidden illness, and this illness must be in the lungs.

"Lili, don't ask how I know this. First, tell me if your family has felt everything going smoothly over the past two years, whether in life or in farming, everything has been particularly smooth?"

Zhao Lili was taken aback again, "Yes, it has indeed been like that. The cherry trees we planted in recent years have had a great harvest every year, especially last year. A strong wind and hailstorm hit, which usually has a significant impact on cherry trees, but our land is on the south side of the mountain, so the north wind didn't affect our cherry trees much. Many fruit trees on the north side of the mountain were damaged, but the south side was almost unaffected."

"Another time, it was hailing, and hail is devastating to apples and cherries. A major hailstorm a couple of years ago made the roof tiles rattle, but it stopped right at the edge of our land. The fruit trees in the neighboring village were damaged, but our orchard was completely unaffected. Even my parents said that our land has good feng shui, and even the heavens protect us."

When Zhao Lili talked about these two incidents, she was very detailed, as they were so miraculous that the whole village was talking about them. Zhao Lili's eloquence made Tang Zhendong feel as if he were there.

"Right, Brother Zhendong, how did you know about this?" Zhao Lili suddenly remembered something and asked Tang Zhendong.

"From the appearance of the fruit you gave me, I could tell the taste."

"Lili, your father is about fifty, right?"

"Yes, he's fifty-one. What's the matter, Brother Zhendong?"

"Does he usually feel any discomfort, especially in the chest or lungs?"

"My father likes to smoke. He used to smoke old tobacco, but with the better life in recent years, he switched to filtered cigarettes. This time when I went back, he often coughed. I told him to go to the hospital, but he said it was just from smoking and didn't go. Brother Zhendong, why are you asking this?"

"Oh, nothing. Elderly people who smoke a lot usually have poor lung health. You should take him to the hospital for a check-up; it's always better to be safe."

"Oh, okay. I'll go back this weekend and take him to the hospital."

"Good. When elderly people get older, they should have regular check-ups; it's always beneficial."

Tang Zhendong walked to the long-armed monkey and casually removed the needle from its chest, "Why did you put the needle here? It's best to keep needles in a needle box for easy access. Also, if you forget the needle is there when you take down the monkey, you might get pricked. Besides, if you stick a needle in it, it will hurt, hehe." Tang Zhendong made a joke.

"Oh," Zhao Lili was a bit embarrassed by what Tang Zhendong said. A girl should have compassion; no man would like a girl without compassion.

Tang Zhendong quietly removed the needle, put it away, and placed it on the computer desk.

Tang Zhendong's application of feng shui and physiognomy was becoming increasingly proficient. When he treated Old Ye's wife, he still had some doubts about combining feng shui with human health. But when he incorporated the surrounding environment into feng shui, everything matched perfectly. Therefore, he could now accurately judge the health condition of Zhao Lili's father.

According to feng shui, the northwest direction represents the father. If the father lacks the metal element, it is suitable to worship a monkey or the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, which are metal animals. Therefore, no matter whether it was hail or strong winds, the crops Zhao Lili's family planted were not adversely affected, which is a sign of a metal deficiency being supplemented.

However, there is a saying that excess is as bad as deficiency. If there is a deficiency, it should be supplemented, but it should not be excessive. Excess can lead to illness, and an imbalance in the metal element can cause lung disease.

But since Tang Zhendong could identify and resolve the issue in time, Zhao Lili's father should not have a serious problem.

The next morning, Tang Zhendong got up at two o'clock, practiced sitting meditation, and then rode his tricycle to the fruit wholesale market in Happy Twelve Village at around three o'clock.

Fruit and vegetable wholesale must be done early. Many vendors open their stalls in the early hours of the morning, and by four or five o'clock, when it's about to get light, a full truck of fruit can be sold out.

Actually, for a small retailer like Tang Zhendong, there was no need to get up so early to go to the wholesale market. He needed to wholesale at least four or five types of fruit, but he couldn't buy much of each. Compared to the big wholesalers, he was just a small vendor, and he only made a small profit.

However, this was a habit he had developed while learning from his master in prison. The practice of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth is best done in the early morning.

Moreover, the stars in the sky are only clearly visible at night. Although the stars are also visible in the early part of the night, the atmosphere is restless, making it difficult to focus on calculations. Therefore, Tang Zhendong would only calculate the stars when everyone was asleep and his mind was the clearest, in the early morning.

This habit, formed over many years, was hard to break. Mobile users, please visit http://m.piaotia.net
