Everyone in the Tang family was busy for a while, but they didn't even see Qiao Maixiang's shadow. Everyone in the Tang family couldn't help but become worried.
"Mom, can't you think about it?" Tang Lingling couldn't help but sigh.
Tang Yingying also muttered: "She can't think of jumping into the river!"
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" Tang Jiankai glared at his daughter, and Tang Yingying shrank her neck and said nothing.
Thinking that something might happen to his wife, Tang Jiankai couldn't help but feel resentful. He turned to his father and said, "Dad, you are too impulsive. Even if Mai Xiang did something wrong, you shouldn't hit her! This is good.
, everyone is gone! Tell me, if the mother of the child is really in trouble, how will our family live in the future? "
"Oh! It's all my fault! I'm so old and stupid." Mr. Tang slapped his face with his hand, full of guilt.
"Haha! Well done. I'll beat you to death. I won't come out tonight. I'll see how you live the rest of your life." There was a slight chuckle from the banyan tree not far away.
It was Qiu Maixiang who was secretly proud of hiding in the tree. When she ran away, she first hid in the vegetable garden. Later, when she saw her family running to the entrance of the village, she followed them to the entrance of the tree.
She just liked to see her family members worried about her. It would be best if she saw Tang Qiulong being criticized by the whole family, which would make her happy.
There happened to be a big banyan tree on the side of the road. The tree had big leaves and was easy to climb. Qiao Maixiang climbed up without saying a word, sat on the tree, and quietly admired the scene in front of her.
"Grandpa, stop hitting yourself!" Tang Lingling ran over and grabbed her grandfather's hand.
"I'm guilty! Lingling, it was your grandfather who harmed your mother. If there really is something wrong, I...I won't be alive either!" Mr. Tang said, and walked towards the river.
"Grandpa Tang, don't be like this!" Tian Xiaohai quickly ran over and grabbed him, patiently advising: "Aunt Maixiang is an optimistic person, and she will be fine. I guess she just doesn't want to see people and wants to be alone.
Just be quiet for a while."
Qiao Maixiang, who was hiding in the tree, heard Tian Xiaohai's words and clenched her fists in anger: "Damn it, Tian Xiaohai, you made me work in vain tonight, but now you come to ruin my good deeds. Why don't you
Go to hell! You'd better die together with this old guy Tang Qiulong."
She was cursing in the tree.
Tian Xiaohai had actually seen all this for a long time. He could even hear Qiu Maixiang whispering softly, but he just saw through it without saying anything.
However, Tian Xiaohai felt uncomfortable when he saw the Tang family members all looking sad.
After thinking carefully, he took out a few hard coins from his bag, smiled deliberately and comforted everyone: "Everyone, calm down. Don't rush to blame. I think Aunt Maixiang will be fine, otherwise
Let me tell you something!"
"You know how to tell fortunes?" Tang Qiulong's eyes widened with curiosity.
"Of course! And it's quite accurate!" Tian Xiaohai pretended to be serious and said to Tang Qiulong: "Mr. Tang, don't forget, I also dealt with Feng Shui master Meng Bowen last time!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Meng Bowen, the famous Feng Shui master in our county, can't beat you." Mr. Tang gave Tian Xiaohai a thumbs up excitedly: "Xiaohai, I believe in your ability. Hurry up and give us a fortune telling for the Tang family.
Look, let’s see where Lingling’s mother will go.”
"Brother-in-law, hurry up! We believe in your ability." Tang Yingying also urged impatiently.
"Xiaohai, do you want my help?" Tang Lingling knelt down next to Tian Xiaohai.
"No, I'll be fine by myself." Tian Xiaohai smiled slightly, squatted down, held the coins in a decent manner, and started playing with them.
In fact, the so-called divination is just rhetoric.
He just wanted to take the opportunity to comfort everyone in the Tang family.
After some deductions, Tian Xiaohai looked at the coins on the ground with a gloomy face, and then laughed happily: "It's okay, it's okay, this is a middle and upper hexagram, the wood and fire are bright, and it means meeting a noble person on the road."
"Oops! Brother-in-law, can you speak human words? Don't make yourself nagging, just tell me how my mother is doing now." Tang Yingying replied impatiently.
"Okay! Then I'll tell you the truth. Judging from the hexagrams, your mother is safe and sound now. Most likely, she is hiding in a quiet place and sleeping alone! However, don't worry, she will meet
When she arrives, all we have to do is light a fire under the tree on the roadside and wait patiently for her.
, just light up her future. When the time comes, a noble person will appear." Tian Xiaohai cleared his throat, pretending to be a master, and pointed to the banyan tree not far away: "I think it's under the banyan tree in front of you.
Let’s light a fire! I’ll go catch some fish from the river and roast them while we wait here for the noble man.”
"Well, I think what Xiaohai said makes sense. The tree in front is on the side of the road. If we light a fire on the side of the road, it will definitely attract the attention of passers-by. It will also be easier to find out about the whereabouts of Lingling's mother, who may be noble.
It will appear soon, and then a valuable clue from others will allow us to find the person."
Mr. Tang nodded with great satisfaction and said: "Let's do this! I'll light a fire under the tree. You guys go and collect some dry firewood. Xiaohai is good at fishing. It would be better if he could catch fish by the river, so that we can grill it while we are there."
Fish, I'm waiting by the roadside. I'm going over right away. There happens to be some dry firewood under the tree in front of me, so I'll light the fire first."
After saying that, Mr. Tang walked straight under the banyan tree in front.
Seeing this, Qiu Maixiang, who was proudly sitting on the tree, suddenly panicked.
"This damn Tian Xiaohai, what does he want to do? He's just pretending to be a ghost. He can't find a good place to light a fire. He has to light a fire under this big tree. Doesn't he want to heat me up to death? He's a noble man! He's so stupid that he'll be so angry.
Me!" Qiao Maixiang was angry and anxious.
She really wanted to jump down from the tree.
But it's too late.
Mr. Tang walked over quickly, picked up some dry firewood, and started to light a fire.
"Go and collect some dry firewood quickly! Just wait while you collect firewood! The bigger the fire, the better. Believe in Xiao Hai, he knows better than us." Mr. Tang shouted loudly to his two granddaughters and his son Tang Jiankai who were standing in a daze.
greeted.
The old man spoke up, and everyone in the Tang family nodded in agreement and ran to collect firewood.
Everyone gathered firewood and the flames were high. It didn't take long before a big fire started under the tree.
Tian Xiaohai ran to the river and landed a few large grass carps. He cut them clean on the river, threaded them with several wooden sticks, and grilled them over a fire.
After the fish oil was roasted over a high fire, Tian Xiaohai took out some mountain and lake salt from the bag and sprinkled some on it, and the fragrance suddenly filled the air.
"It smells so good!" Tian Xiaohai blew in the hot air and took a bite of the fish. It was tender, delicious and delicious.
While gnawing on the fish, he comforted everyone in the Tang family: "Come on, come on, let's eat together! It's really delicious. Don't worry, Aunt Maixiang will be fine. I've already made a prediction. It won't be a long time."
In a few hours, we should know the whereabouts of Aunt Maixiang."
"Okay! Since Xiao Hai said so, I won't be polite. Come, let's eat together! Only when you are full can you have the strength to find someone!" Mr. Tang took the lead and picked up a grilled fish and sprinkled some meat on it.
Put it in your mouth.
At first, sisters Tang Lingling and Tang Jiankai had no appetite, but seeing Tian Xiaohai and Mr. Tang eating with relish, and Tian Xiaohai's words of advice from time to time, they gradually felt relieved and started eating too.
The fish meat sprinkled with mountain salt is delicious and especially fragrant.
Qiu Maixiang, who was hiding in the tree, was restless. At this time, she was not only sweating from the heat generated by the fire, but also her eyes hurt from the smoke.
Forget it, she still had to withstand the temptation of the fish smell. She felt particularly uncomfortable when she thought about how she had cooked a large table of food tonight, but ended up with nothing to eat and had to suffer here.
Thinking of this, she hated Tian Xiaohai even more and gritted her teeth.
"Tian Xiaohai, you bastard, I've suffered a lot from you. Huh! Mr. Tang regards you as a treasure. If I believe your lies, I won't be able to come down tonight. Let's see how long you can last."
She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed secretly.
Tian Xiaohai didn't bother to worry about so much, he ate it with all his heart.
He believed that it wouldn't take long, as long as he found an excuse to leave for a while, Qiao Maixiang would definitely come down obediently.
While I was enjoying my meal, I suddenly heard a burst of hearty laughter not far away.
"Hey! Old mayor, Xiaohai, what are you doing? You are having a picnic!"
Everyone looked up and saw that it was Lao Liang, the village party secretary and Su Guifa, rushing from the direction of the battlefield, carrying several bottles of wine in their hands.
"It's you! Come on, come over and eat some fish together!" Tian Xiaohai quickly called a few people over.
The three of them went to the battlefield to help and just came back now.
"Xiaohai, please wait for me here for a while. I have a stove at home. I'll get it. I'll also get some vegetables to roast."
Su Guifa didn't wait for Tian Xiaohai's consent, turned around and ran home.
Tian Xiaohai was about to call this guy to stop.
At this time, the village party secretary leaned towards Tian Xiaohai's ear and whispered: "Xiaohai, I heard Brother Mao say that he was worried that the group of men in black during the day would cause trouble, so he specially formed a six-person patrol on the battlefield.
Patrolling. Looking at this, should we send some people from our village to go there?"
"Oh! There is such a thing. I will arrange it!" Tian Xiaohai thought for a while and quickly laughed: "I think so! After a while, just call Bald Bei's people over and join us here.
Have a few barbecue tables under the tree, and we'll wait here."
This is the only way to the battlefield. Intercepting them halfway saves effort and allows you to eat and wait.
