Chapter 219: Mother Zhou, a Kung Fu Master
Chapter 219: Mother Zhou, a Kung Fu Master
When he was a child, in order to find his mother, he and his father traveled among the people for a long time and got to know many people.
One of them was named Xie Tianlan.
Xie Tianlan is a young martial artist.
When he and his father were watching a play with a troupe, they saw a conflict between the audience and Xie Tianlan.
At the critical moment, the emperor saved Xie Tianlan who was almost killed by the spectators' knife.
Afterwards, Xie Tianlan thanked his father for rescuing him and presented him with a precious martial arts mask as a token of his gratitude.
Xie Tianlan revealed that this facial mask was his original creation, and no one else could draw the pattern on it. There are only two identical facial masks in the world.
But Xie Tianlan did not say where the other piece was.
From then on, he often carried the mask that Xie Tianlan presented to his father, and he had already memorized the pattern of the mask clearly.
At this moment, seeing the mask on Xie Yao's desk, Qi Tianlin immediately recognized that it belonged to Xie Tianlan.
Xie Tianlan and Xie Yao have the same surname, Xie. Qilin also revealed that the missing daughter of the opera troupe owner was named Xie Yao.
There is no doubt about it, Xie Yao is one of the time travelers back then, and she is also the daughter of Xie Tianlan.
When he asked Xie Tianlan if he was her father, Xie Yao's answer directly confirmed her identity as a time traveler.
Because if Xie Tianlan was not his father, Xie Yao should not ask this question.
At the same time, it also proves one thing, Xie Yao did not lose his memory.
After confirming Xie Yao's identity, Qi Tianlin said truthfully:
"Because I know your father. Your father's name is Xie Tianlan. He is an opera singer. He usually plays the role of a martial artist. Is that right?"
Xie Yao's eyes suddenly became hot.
What made her cry was not that the other person knew her father, but that she met an old friend in a foreign land.
"Yes, my father is Xie Tianlan. Chairman, I never thought that I would meet people from the same hometown in modern times. Did you also travel to modern times?"
Qi Tianlin replied: "Yes, but we didn't travel here on the same day."
"You were sent here by a time machine twenty years ago, and I only got here a month or two ago."
Xie Yao frowned, full of confusion:
"Time machine? Is there really someone who can research such a thing?"
"Were we all sent here by a time machine? I remember that when I was swept away by a tornado, I woke up in the modern world. I wonder what a time machine looks like."
"I have always thought that the tornado that hit me back then swept me into a time tunnel. I never thought that I was sent here by a time machine."
Qi Tianlin said: "This is a long story. Today, I will tell you the whole story so that you can prepare in advance."
Prepare here in advance?
Xie Yao realized something and asked excitedly:
"Chairman, do you mean that we can go back to where we were before?"
Qi Tianlin nodded, "It should be possible."
Dr. Regret did not lie!

After nightfall, Jiayu and his group stayed in the woods between the two cities.
After a whole day's journey, Jiayu was absent-minded, always worried about his brother's condition and the safety of his parents who were currently missing.
It was a bit chilly at night, so Jiayu sat by the campfire to keep warm.
Listening to the noisy sound from the other end of the jade pendant, he stared at the campfire in a daze.
At this time, Rong'er came over with a bowl of food.
"Madam, the food is ready. Please eat some. You barely ate any lunch."
Jiayu came back to his senses and replied, "Okay."
Then he took the bowl and started eating.
At this time, the noise from the other end of the jade pendant became much less, and Jiayu thought that her husband should be home soon.
After a while, the sound of the car door opening was heard.
Then came Qi Tianlin's voice:
"Who is she? Why is she kneeling here?"
Then came the guard's voice:
"Son-in-law, this person is here to look for the eldest lady, as well as the master and the mistress. I told her that the master and the mistress have gone on a trip around the world, and now she must see the eldest lady."
"She also said that if she couldn't see the young lady, she would kneel down and not leave until she saw the young lady."
Hearing this, Jiayu frowned.
It's already night time, who is kneeling at her door?
"Tian Lin, ask her who she is."
After Jiayu spoke, Rong'er beside him tilted her head slightly:
"My lady, what do you need?"
"I'm not talking to you. Go do something else first."
"Oh, okay, my lady. If you need anything, just call me."
After seeing Rong'er leave, Jiayu continued to speak:
"He came to see my family at this hour even though he was kneeling at home for a long time. I guess one of the partners has had problems and he came to seek help."
"Let me ask."
On the modern side, Qi Tianlin replied to Jiayu and then walked up to ask the girl kneeling in the middle of the gate.
"Who are you? What do you want from the Jia family?"
The girl raised her head, and when she saw Qi Tianlin's appearance with tearful eyes, she was stunned.
This girl was none other than the girl who had argued with Jiayu at the banquet at Qi Rufeng's house. Her name was Teng Xixi.
The Teng family and the Jia family were old friends, but when the Jia family faced bankruptcy this year, the Teng family not only chose not to help, but also humiliated Jiayu in front of the Qi family.
At that time, he even helped Wan Rou and stepped on Jia Yu.
The moment Teng Xixi saw Qi Tianlin, her heartbeat quickened.
What a handsome man!
Is this the Jia family?
It seemed that Uncle Jia had only one son, and his son was only one year older than her.
The man in front of her looked several years older than her and should not be Uncle Jia's son.
Seeing that the other party was staring at him without saying anything, Qi Tianlin asked again:
"Miss, who are you? What's the matter with you coming to the Jia family?"
Teng Xixi came back to her senses, smiled shyly, and told her identity:
"My name is Teng Xixi, the daughter of the chairman of the Teng Group."
"When my grandfather was alive, he had a very good relationship with Grandpa Jia. My parents also have a very good relationship with Uncle Jia and Aunt Jia."
At this point, Teng Xixi complained pitifully:
"Because the company was emptied by my parents' adopted son, it is currently facing a bankruptcy crisis. The Teng and Jia families are old friends. I came here today to ask Uncle Jia for help."
"Since the two families were once old friends, I think the Jia family will not stand by and watch us die."
"Sir, you are here, so you should know the Jia family, right? Can you take me in to meet them?"
When Qi Tianlin heard this, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
He remembered that this girl had humiliated his wife at the Qi family's banquet.
The jade pendant was lit at the time, and he heard the conversation between the girl and Jiayu.
This guy named Teng Xixi was quite arrogant at the time.
Jiayu had a good temper and didn't argue with the girl at that time.
Qi Tianlin spoke indifferently:
"I'm sorry, I can't take you in."
Teng Xixi asked: "Why?"
Qi Tianlin: "Since the Jia family doesn't want to see you, why should I take you in?"
Teng Xixi hurriedly explained:
"That's not the case, sir. Let me explain."
"It's because Uncle Jia and Aunt Jia are traveling and can't be contacted. And Miss Jia hasn't come back yet, so I can't see her now."
"The guard didn't believe my identity and wouldn't let me in, but I'm really the daughter of the Teng family. The Teng and Jia families are old friends."
Before Qi Tianlin could reply to Teng Xixi, Jiayu on the other side of Daqi spoke coldly:
"Don't worry about her. She can kneel as long as she wants. There's no way she can get help from my Jia family."
"It was her Teng family who was ungrateful and humiliated me first. Now that her Teng family is in this situation, they should not come to beg my Jia family for help."
"She reminded me at the beginning not to dream of borrowing money from the Teng family. Today, I followed her original intention and will not lend a helping hand."
After hearing Jiayu's reply, Qi Tianlin directly ordered the guard:
"Kick her out. If she refuses to leave, let her stay here and see how long she can last."
The guard said respectfully:
"Yes, uncle."
Uncle?
Teng Xixi looked surprised:
"Are you Miss Jia's husband?"
Qi Tianlin didn't reply and returned to the car indifferently.
Teng Xixi immediately stood up and ran over, grabbing the window with both hands, begging:
"Sir, please, let me see your wife. Uncle Jia and Aunt Jia are not at home, so I can only ask Miss Jia for help."
"I know we had a disagreement at the Qi family's banquet, but since our two families were once old friends, can you help my Teng family? Is that okay?"
Qi Tianlin simply closed the car window, not caring whether the other person's hand would be pinched, and there was no trace of sympathy on his face.
Teng Xixi was afraid of death, so he pulled his hand back in time.
After watching the car enter the gate, she stamped her feet in anger.
The guard then said mercilessly:
"Our uncle has ordered us to leave, so hurry up and leave."
"Our son-in-law doesn't want to help you, so it's even less likely that the eldest lady will help you."
"I don't believe they would be so cold-blooded. I must meet the Jia family today."
Having said this stubbornly, Teng Xixi took out his cell phone and dialed Jia's father's number.
However, I still heard the same sentence: "The number you dialed is out of service area..."
Teng Xixi was angry and anxious:
"Uncle Jia, where have you been? Why is your number always out of service area?"
"If you don't answer the phone, my dad will sell my mom for money."
Just after finishing dialing, a call came in from someone with the note "Teng Ying".
Teng Xixi quickly took it over, "Hey, Mom, I'm still here at the Jia family. I will definitely find a way to get the Jia family to lend us money."
The woman on the phone spoke in a weak voice:
"Come back, kid. Your father didn't care about our friendship. The Jia family will definitely not help us."
Teng Xixi was anxious, "But mom, you persuaded dad to adopt my brother. Now he ran away with the money, and dad blames you for adopting an ungrateful person."
"Dad has threatened that if we can't borrow money to fill the company's hole, we will divorce you and give you to the old man in exchange for money."
"Mom, I don't want you to be sold out by Dad. I will borrow money to save you even if I die on my knees in front of the Jia family's door."
The woman's voice was filled with tears and guilt:
"My child, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let you be born in the Teng family...ah~"
The sudden scream of her mother frightened Teng Xixi.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Did you call the police? Tell me, did you call the police?"
Teng Xixi recognized his father's voice and asked angrily:
"Dad, what did you do? Did you hit my mom?"
The man on the other end did not respond to Teng Xixi.
"I raised you and your daughter for twenty years, and this is how you repay me?"
"I'm telling you, by tomorrow night at the latest, if the hole in Teng's company can no longer be filled, you and your daughter will serve Mr. Li."
When Teng Xixi heard this, the call was disconnected.
She stayed where she was, thinking about her father's words.
why?
Why was the father so cruel as to give his daughter away?
The things my father said to my mother were as if she was not his biological daughter.
Worried about her mother's safety, Teng Xixi immediately left the Jia family.
At the same time, on Daqi's side.
After Jiayu finished dinner, he returned to the car. Just then Qi Tianlin called him on video.
The first time he saw her, Qi Tianlin mentioned Xie Yao's matter.
"Yu'er, I confessed everything to Xie Yao today. The clues provided by Qilin are correct. She is the daughter of the owner of the opera troupe."
"Interestingly, Xie Yao's father, my father and I once knew him."
Jiayu smiled and said:
"Well, I heard your conversation today. I always carry the jade pendant with me."
"Tomorrow, are you going to continue looking for other time travelers?"
Qi Tianlin replied:
"I want to find the remaining people as soon as possible to see if Dr. Regret really means what he said."
Of course, his purpose was to reunite the two families as soon as possible and return to his wife as soon as possible.
Jiayu: "Although we know the original identities of the following people, we know nothing about their modern identities. How do you plan to start?"
Qi Tianlin thought for a moment and said:
"How about posting a missing person notice online?"
Jiayu: "It seems that there is no better way than this, so let's give it a try first."
"Tang Xiujue's two guards, since they are guards, they must know Kung Fu. You can usually pay attention to whether the people around you know Kung Fu. What if there is a time traveler around us?"
"Today, I discovered a rule. Tian Lin, don't you think we basically know all the time travelers we found before?"
"Tang Xiujue, Qi Rufeng, Su Ruiyang, He Wan, Xie Yao, etc., are all people I knew before, so I suspect that the remaining time travelers may also be people I know."
"Perhaps the time machine has already arranged for all the time travelers to be connected to each other?"
Qi Tianlin: "It's not impossible. Starting tomorrow, I will test everyone around me one by one."
*
In a blink of an eye, another night passed.
Another day has passed, and the jade pendant is still lit.
When Jiayu and his group set off, Qi Tianlin also woke up in the modern world.
After washing up, go downstairs.
Seeing Zhou Ma cleaning the living room, he greeted her:
"Morning, Aunt Zhou."
Zhou Ma replied respectfully, "Good morning, too, son-in-law. Breakfast is ready."
"it is good."
Qi Tianlin responded and went to the restaurant.
Mother Zhou then cleaned the living room.
She held the broom horizontally and swept under the sofa seat, sweeping out a few darts and used paper towels.
Mother Zhou picked up the dart and prepared to put it back on the plate on the coffee table that was specially used for darts.
But, she thought of something and her hand holding the dart stopped.
After a moment's hesitation, Mother Zhou straightened up and looked around.
After making sure there was no one around, she threw the darts at the dartboard on the wall next to the TV not far away.
After several darts flew out at the same time, they all hit the bull's eye accurately!
