Despite the throngs of onlookers being overwhelming, Yu Ting maneuvered herself and Lu Nanchen through the crowd. It was only when they got closer that they realized what the vendor was offering.
A granny, likely in her sixties, sat on a small wooden stool. Arrayed before her was a sheet of paper that had 'Fortune-telling' boldly written across the top. Below this were smaller words: birth chart readings, divination, fate matching, and bamboo fortune sticks.
In the middle was a large circular diagram marked with the heavenly stems and earthly branches.
A bamboo tube was in the corner of the paper, containing about a dozen bamboo sticks. It was unclear if they were old from frequent use or just hadn't been changed in a while. Regardless, they looked worn out.
In the most eye-catching spot was a signboard that unabashedly declared: 20 yuan per session, no refunds, and no physical attacks allowed.
