At this moment, she asked the two principals why she and her husband were in such a hurry to find her. Couldn't they find him again in half a month or a month? Wu Youde said no, and repeated what he had said before, the sooner the better. But this time, he told the reason why he was looking for Shi in Datian:
Just yesterday, super billionaire Hu Jiacheng, who was suffering from cancer and had undergone chemotherapy and had lost all his hair but was still not getting better, came to him and donated 10 million to the school in one go. The school was short of funds to build a new library. Hu Jiacheng donated 10 million and the problem was solved.
Hu Jiacheng only made one request, asking us to find Professor Shi, who has supernatural powers, to treat him. He also said that when he found Professor Shi at your house yesterday, he entrusted us as the leader to find you, thinking that if he found you, he would be able to find Professor Shi. Principal Chang and I came to you about this matter.
After finishing speaking, Wu Youde still had a smile on his face. But there was a wry smile on Tian Tiantian's face, because she was not sure about finding her husband Shi Zaitian at all, but she couldn't refuse, so she said, since this is the case, I will go out to look for him and try to find him as soon as possible. When he finds it, let him go directly to see you.
Okay, you go out and look for it, and we will send people out to look for it. Chang Qingchun said, glanced at Wu Youde and then said, Principal Wu, the school should pay for Sister Tian's expenses for going out to find his husband this time. Because it’s for the school!
OK! Sister Tian, just do what the principal says. Wu Youde took out a roll of banknotes from his body and handed it to Tian Tiantian, saying it was 4,000 yuan and it would be used up in a few days. If it is not enough, tell me and I will arrange for the cashier to pay you for the travel expenses when you go out to find someone.
No, no, no one has been found, how can I collect money? Tian Tiantian said as he stretched out his hands to push away the wad of money handed to him.
Wu Youde had no choice but to throw a bunch of money on the coffee table, get up and leave. Tian Tiantian grabbed the handful of money and chased it to the door. Wu Youde and Chang Qingchun, who had already stood up to go out, walked to the stairs one after another. She used aggressive tactics and said, "Principal Wu, take the money away. If I find it, My husband, the school can give me a little more travel expenses to find someone, but I don’t think that much is needed.
If you can't find my husband within half a month or a month, I will feel uneasy after you have received so much money! You take the money quickly, or I won't go out and look for it at all.
Seeing Tian Tiantian stopped chasing, the two principals slowed down. But when Tian Tiantian said this while standing at the door, Wu Youde used his arm to push Chang Qingchun behind him.
Chang Qingchun turned around knowingly, walked up a few steps to Tian Tiantian, took the roll of money she handed over and said, Sister Tian, I will do as you say. If Professor Shi is found as soon as possible, the school will I will reward you with a sum of money, not to mention travel expenses. As long as you try your best to find early, no matter what, the school will not lose you.
Okay, I'll change my clothes right away and go out to look for it. Tian Tiantian said, looking down slightly at the blue casual clothes she wore at home.
Tian Tiantian put on beautiful makeup and went out to hitchhike and transfer repeatedly. After leaving the provincial capital, she ran from the provincial highway to the county highway, and then to the town highway. There are almost no roads at the village level. They are all slightly wider dirt roads. Fortunately, it is a sunny day and although there is dust on the road, it is dry.
It would be troublesome if it rained and the road would be muddy, making it difficult to move. It doesn't matter if it's difficult to leave. Tian Tiantian, who has always been clean and even a bit mysophobic, hates having her clothes stained by mud and water. In the early years, she and her husband went back to the countryside on a rainy day and had this unpleasant experience. So she refused to go to the countryside when it rained.
At this moment, Tian Tiantian was walking, and the first stop was her husband’s hometown, Xianrendong Village, Shizi Town, Qianshan County. But the old tile-roofed house in my house is closed and no one lives in it. My father-in-law and mother-in-law have been dead for many years, and the grass on the grave in the back hill has grown to almost a foot high.
When she arrived in the village, she explained to the villagers the reason for returning home. The answer is that we did not see Professor Shi and he did not go home at all.
Tian Tiantian doesn't have magical powers like her husband. She is an ordinary person, but she envies people with magical powers and feels that it is very light and satisfying for those with magical powers to predict the future. She couldn't find her husband right now, and she couldn't go back immediately, so she had to keep looking. Where to look? She wants to take shortcuts and seek convenience.
Is there any shortcut? How can there be any convenience? After thinking about it, she returned to Qianshan County and found an old man who set up a fortune telling stall on West Street and claimed to be a fortune teller. After she explained the situation of seeking hexagrams, the old man told her that his best skill was to pinch the time. As long as he knew the name of the person being sought and the time of departure, he would pinch the time and they would be inseparable.
So, Tian Tiantian recounted her husband's name and the specific time he left home in detail. The old man silently recited the song "Pinch the Time", and after doing some calculations in his mind, he told her: the person she was looking for, her husband, was in her hometown.
Tian Tiantian said dissatisfiedly that I had gone to my husband's hometown to look for him, but there was no trace of him at all. When I asked others, they all said they had not seen him go back. Are you having trouble pinching when pinching?
The old man said confidently that it should be accurate. You can go back to your husband's hometown to find it. Tian Tiantian still doubted the accuracy of the old man's pinching, so he said, just make a divination! Compare the results of starting a hexagram with pinching, maybe the starting hexagram is more accurate!
The old man was worried that she would not pay, so he had to make a hexagram, and the hexagram shown was "Tongren of Heavenly Fire". The old man said that this hexagram seal was basically consistent with the information obtained when pinching just now. Your husband is still in his hometown and will soon return to his home in the provincial capital, so don't worry, this is good news.
Tian Tiantian felt that the old man was right again and knew what he was saying. She asked, you said that my husband will return to his home in the provincial capital soon. So soon, how long will it take? The old man carefully calculated in his mind again, and said it could be as little as half a month, or as much as a month.
Tian Tiantian nodded repeatedly, because Shi did say so when Tian left home. This also made her doubt her assertion that Shi Zaitian was not in his hometown, and she really wanted to go to Xianrendong Village to look for her husband again to verify the accuracy of the old man's timing and fortune-telling.
But she immediately hesitated again. She had just come out of her husband's hometown. If she went there again, it would be best to find her husband. If she couldn't find him, it would be strange if people didn't laugh at me for running around like I was crazy.
And she also thought this way: There is no need to go to her husband's hometown again. She has already been there. If someone sees Shi Zaitian, they will definitely tell him that your wife came to her hometown to look for you. If Shi Zaitian gets this information and knows that I am frantically looking for him, he will definitely return home to the provincial capital. If Shi Zaitian is not in his hometown at all, then my trip to find him will be in vain.
At this moment, Tian Tiantian planned to pay the old man, and asked how much it would cost. The old man said that it usually costs 10 yuan to tell the time and 10 yuan to tell the fortune. It was supposed to cost 20 yuan, but now it only costs you 10 yuan. Tian Tiantian handed it over a 20 yuan note and said, "Here you are 20 yuan, no need to change it." However, according to what you said, if my husband has not returned to our home in the provincial capital within a month, then if I come to you again, you have to refund me 10 yuan.
The old man took the money and said with a squinted smile, if your husband does not come home within a month, I will refund the 20 yuan to you, and I will quit this business of fortune-telling. Huh, how could it be inaccurate?
Just be accurate. Tian Tiantian said, turned and left. Instead of returning directly to the provincial capital, she found Cheng Xinxiong, an acquaintance who had visited Shi Zaitian in the provincial capital, in the countryside of Qianshan, and asked him: Have you seen Shi Zaitian?
Cheng Xinxiong shook his head, and then gave her another idea, asking her to go to Yuantong Temple in Xiyuan to find Professor Shi. Maybe Professor Shi was there, because Professor Shi often meditated and had a predestined relationship with the Buddha, and it was a pure place for Buddhism.
But when Tian Tiantian looked for him, Shi Zaitian was not there at all. She wandered around Qianshan countryside for several days to no avail, so she had no choice but to return to her home in the provincial capital.
She only rested at home for one day, and the next day she went out to inquire about Shi Zaitian's friends in different departments in the provincial capital, such as hospitals, colleges and universities, and the Department of Health, or about experts, professors and scholars who had worked with him.
During this period, she also met many times with members of the L Provincial Medical University's dedicated team looking for Shi Zaitian. Tian Tiantian smiled bitterly and said that I tried my best, but I really don’t know where my husband is and can’t find him. When my husband left home, he said he would be home in as little as half a month or as much as a month.
A thin staff member said, "I can't wait, I can't wait. I heard that Boss Hu fell into a coma yesterday and was sent to the Provincial People's Hospital. I don't know what his condition is." Professor Shi has great magical powers, but he is not at home at this time. It is considered bad luck for Boss Hu.
I don’t know if Boss Hu can survive a month. If he can, it will be easy to handle. When my husband returns home, he will help him wholeheartedly. Tian Tiantian said so. Some people say, it’s difficult! Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a true prophecy.
On the fourth day from this day, Tian Tiantian went out to buy groceries at the vegetable market. When she passed the school gate, she met the thin staff member who told her that billionaire Hu Jiacheng had a cancer diagnosis at the Provincial People's Hospital at four in the morning. The specialist resident was irritated because he was only 40 years old. Tian Tiantian felt very heavy after hearing this. She felt that it was a pity that Hu Jiacheng died young because he was so rich.
It was obvious that Shi Zaitian was avoiding the billionaire Hu Jiacheng who wanted to see him for medical treatment. If he really found him, he would not be able to shirk the blame, because it was not only the former who came to him, but also the school leaders who couldn't bear to lose face. , so his only way is to hide, and he must hide in a special hidden place that no one else, including his wife, can find.
What is that place? This started when Shi Zaitian left. He went to the provincial capital South Railway Station to wait for the train, and deliberately bought a train ticket to Qianshan County Railway Station at night.
His purpose was obvious, he just didn't want to meet anyone he knew. That night he took the train to Qianshan County Railway Station, which was quite successful as he did not meet anyone he knew.
After leaving the train station and having dinner on the street, he took a taxi to Xianrendong Village, Shizi Town, Qianshan County. At that time, it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers. After paying the taxi driver, he did not return to his hometown for the night. Even a flashlight he bought in the city with a new battery could not be easily turned on. He was worried that his whereabouts would be discovered by the villagers. .
Shi Zaitian relied on his childhood impressions and followed a dirt road that was a little white under the faint starlight, going straight around the back mountain and into the forest before he turned on the flashlight.
With the bright beam of light, he found the entrance to a deep stone cave, then bent down and got in. The deeper he went into the cave, the more spacious it became.
Shi Zaitian meditated on a small stone pier shaped like a chair. I sat here for more than 20 days without moving. This is not a simple meditation, but an inelegant meditation. That is to say, after meditating for more than 20 days, he had nothing to do with water and rice, but everything was fine afterwards.
Generally, even if a person is in good health, if he challenges the life limit of fasting, it will only last seven days. After seven days, he will die. It is said that this is a woman who can withstand being kicked. If it were a man, he would survive for five days at most, and most of them would starve to death by the sixth day. But Shi Zaitian was able to meditate in a cave for more than 20 days without waking up. When he woke up, he was fine. This was amazing.
