It was eight o'clock, and I needed to wrap things up quickly. "Take me to the airport! I haven't canceled my ticket yet. If I wait any longer, I might miss my flight!"
I pushed my car into the shop, opened the door for Sun Lang, and casually tossed the chair under Shi Tian into the store before locking the door. By the time I turned around, Sun Lang had already started the car with Shi Tian's keys!
Seeing this, Shi Tian wasted no time and quickly climbed into the passenger seat. If Sun Lang drove him to the airport, it would take at least two or three days for him to get back. He definitely didn't want to have to go to the airport himself to retrieve his car!
"What time is your flight? Will you make it?"
"I have a ticket for ten past nine. It's only seven forty now, so I should be fine!"
"Did you bring your ID? Without it, you can't pick up your ticket!"
"I prepared it last night; it hasn't left my pocket today!"
Upon arriving at the airport, Shi Tian watched as Sun Lang went inside to get his ticket. Shaking his head, he thought it was getting late and decided to hurry back for dinner. He wondered if those old men had come down from the mountain yet! But before heading back, he needed to stop by the shop to bring Tang Tang home.
The weather forecast had been quite accurate; it said there would be rain, and sure enough, it started pouring at eight sixty. The plane hadn't even left the jet bridge before it began waiting on the tarmac!
Back at the villa, Old Kong and the other two were on the first floor watching the news while Yi Laotou was busy in the kitchen with two girls. It seemed these two girls were about to become Yi Laotou's unofficial apprentices!
Of course, it was clear that these girls weren't cut out for housework; they were probably coerced by Old Liu and Old Wen into helping out in the kitchen.
"Old men, it's dark and windy out there with a storm brewing—how can you bear to come down?" Shi Tian teased the three old men as he tossed Tang Tang onto the sofa and turned to dash upstairs for a shower.
He wasn't foolish; seeing Yi Laotou in that state in the kitchen meant if he stayed there for more than a minute, Yi Laotou would definitely drag him in to do some heavy lifting. Using his shower as an excuse, he planned to wash up for half an hour so he could come down just in time for dinner.
Hearing Shi Tian's words, Old Wen shot a glance at the two girls in the kitchen. "It's those two girls again! They saw it was going to rain and insisted on coming down. Otherwise, with this weather, we could have caught a few fish over ten pounds!"
After switching to Qing Cao Lian Yu bait, today was quite enjoyable for the old men; each catch weighed over ten pounds. They hadn't had such fun fishing since they started!
Upon hearing this, Shi Tian felt relieved. At least these girls weren't just decoration; they could actually manage to bring a few old men down from the mountain before it rained. That alone was impressive.
"The fish are in the lake; we can catch them whenever we want. There's no need to rush!" He smiled back at Old Wen just as he reached the stairs when Yi Laotou's voice called from the kitchen.
"Xiao Tian is back? Perfect! You can help me with these two girls while I play a couple of rounds of mahjong with them!"
Oh no! I was too slow!
"This cat is quite beautiful; I've never seen one like this before. Did you just buy it?" Old Kong asked as he got up and circled around Tang Tang's cage.
"A friend gave it to me; they said it's a Shih Tzu from Lingqing. The girl at the shop named her Tang Tang! She just arrived today, and I haven't taken her for her vaccine yet, so be careful when you're playing with her!"
After casually responding to Old Kong, Shi Tian hung his head and headed into the kitchen for his duties!
Old Zhang mentioned that Tang Tang had received its vaccine, but Shi Tian was still not at ease. He decided to take it for another vaccination soon, ensuring peace of mind in raising the little one.
With Shi Tian taking over and Yi Laotou stepping down, the two girls took the opportunity to leave and went to the living room to play with the cat. Fortunately, Yi Laotou had everything nearly prepared; cooking a few home-cooked dishes wasn’t too much trouble and would take less than half an hour to get on the table.
Once the dishes were served, Shi Tian casually dipped a couple of pieces of leftover Bighead Carp into boiling water for a moment. After they cooled down, he intended to tease Tang Tang with them, hoping to awaken some instincts in the little creature.
After downing three cups of liquor, Yi Laoyez put down his chopsticks and squinted at Shi Tian. “Earlier, you asked me about fishing spots. I’ve been pondering it for a few days now. The saying goes that mountains govern population while water governs wealth; this applies somewhat to choosing a fishing spot.”
Fishing is essentially about exchanging bait for fish, and Da Wo Xian Ren is known for losing money. Your approach to wealth seems a bit lacking. Fishing is akin to gambling; it’s a process of betting small to win big, which inherently avoids wealth deities. Therefore, you should rely on feng shui principles; this should yield better results!
After hearing this from the old man, Shi Tian felt a surge of excitement. Relying on feng shui? That seemed quite scientific. If he considered the underwater topography as well, it would be even more scientific!
What kind of position is ideal for playing mahjong? One needs support behind them and a clean and tidy space behind as well. A landscape painting wouldn’t hurt! No refrigerators or bookshelves; that’s a pun that resembles something unfavorable in feng shui. Also, avoid having wealth deities—this is taboo! There should be no obstacles behind to prevent anyone from coming and going.
If he could also incorporate aspects of unexpected wealth, that would be perfect!
It seemed that fishing indeed followed some principles; after all, Da Wo Xian Ren wasn’t just a name without merit. The essence remained the same—betting small to gain big!
After discussing a heap of theories, Yi Laoyez pulled out a sketch of Xinyue Lake and handed it to Shi Tian. “Take a look at this map of Xinyue Lake; based on what we just discussed, which fishing spots might hide big fish?”
After examining the sketch carefully for quite some time, Shi Tian responded earnestly: “The spots here with flowing water in front and hills behind are both good options; the one on the left is even better!”
Once Shi Tian finished speaking, Yi Laotou took back the map. “Only practice can yield results. Does anyone have time? How about accompanying us old fellows up the mountain for some practical experience?”
Upon hearing this, Shi Tian felt that something was amiss!
