Troubled Times: A Divination a Day Fills the Barn

share time: 2025-10-07 00:30:11

Tang Jing, a scholar preparing for the imperial exam, lost his family in the chaos of war. Accidentally finding an incomplete divination book, he gained the ability to predict where to find food and meat the next day. He set up a stall at the village entrance, exchanging one divination for two catties of grain. Villagers went from suspecting him of "faking the supernatural" to fighting for his readings. But recent divinations suddenly showed "great misfortune"—he foresaw bandits would raid the village's hidden grain cave. When he urgently warned the villagers, they, trusting his previous accurate divination of Aunt Li's sow giving birth, accused him of "hoarding grain alone". Tonight, the bandits will arrive. Clutching the half jade pendant left by his father, Tang Jing finally revealed the truth: the incomplete book was left by his father to survive the chaos. His divination never "found food"—it predicted disasters, using divinations to guide villagers to hide grain in advance. But this time, who would believe him?
