Lucky Farmer Girl: I rely on metaphysics to support my family

Chapter 794 Helpless
As I entered the shop, I heard a man pleading anxiously: "Shopkeeper, please have mercy and help us! My little Bao... my little Bao went missing at the market the day before yesterday! He's only five years old!"

Boss Wan and Tang Wan exchanged a glance, both seeing understanding in each other's eyes.

"Don't rush, tell me slowly!" Boss Wan's calm voice rang out, carrying a reassuring tone.

The couple turned to look in the direction of Boss Wan and Tang Wan.

The waiter hurriedly introduced them: "This is our shop's owner, Mr. Wan, and Master Wan! Please explain the situation to them in detail!"

Upon hearing the waiter's words, the man hurriedly knelt down before Tang Wan and Boss Wan, and said urgently, "The day before yesterday, my wife took the child to see a variety show, and in the blink of an eye, the child disappeared. We have already reported it to the authorities, but two days have passed and there has been no news from the government."

The woman beside him cried out in broken voices, "Please, Master... please, Master, help my little baby! Someone said the master in this shop is very capable. Please, Master, save him!"

After the woman finished speaking, she quickly kowtowed repeatedly in the direction of Tang Wan. She didn't know who the master was, but there were only these two in front of her, so she simply kowtowed to them.

Upon hearing the couple's description, Mr. Wan sighed almost imperceptibly.

It seems these two have heard of the master's deeds and came with a "what if" mentality. If even the master can't help them, they probably have no hope at all.

Fortunately, he knew the master had a solution, but once the shop closed, anyone else who encountered such a situation would likely have nowhere to turn for help. Relying on the government would mean that most lost children would never be found.

Tang Wan quickly stopped the woman and helped her up, saying gently, "Get up and talk, don't rush!"

Boss Wan also helped the man up.

The couple looked at Tang Wan expectantly.

Tang Wan said calmly, "Give me the child's birth date and time, and I will perform divination."

The couple grasped at a straw and hurriedly told Tang Wan the child's birth date and time.

Tang Wan took paper and pen from the counter, wrote down her birth date and time, and then took out her tortoise shell and copper coins from her sleeve.

After doing all this, Tang Wan solemnly shook the ancient bronze coin with her palms together, muttered some incantations, and then threw it into the tortoise shell.

After tossing the toss six times, this forms the six lines, which together create a hexagram.

Tang Wan stared intently at the hexagram, her finger making indistinct dots on the hexagram to calculate.

A moment later, Tang Wan's cold voice rang out: "The divination indicates that your son is still alive, but in a dangerous situation, and his direction is southwest."

After saying that, Tang Wan looked at the couple again and asked, "Do you know if you have any children's clothes or personal belongings? I'll try to search further for you."

Hearing Tang Wan's words, the couple exchanged a glance. The mother took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Tang Wan, saying, "I usually use this handkerchief to wipe Xiao Bao's face. I haven't had time to wash it these past two days since Xiao Bao went missing. I wonder if this will be of any use?"

Tang Wan nodded slightly, took the handkerchief, held her breath and concentrated, her fingertips making subtle calculations in her sleeve, while at the same time she separated a wisp of her divine sense, using the handkerchief as a guide to carefully perceive it.

A moment later, she opened her eyes and said to Boss Wan, "Prepare paper and pen."

Tang Wan quickly drew a blurry map of the area on the paper, marking several points: "The child must have been kidnapped by the kidnappers and was unable to be moved out of the city. He is currently trapped near the west dock of the city."

Upon hearing this, Boss Wan immediately understood what Tang Wan meant.

He gave Tang Wan a deep look and quickly replied, "I'll go find a familiar head constable and take some men there!"

Tang Wan nodded slightly and reminded Boss Wan, "Be careful not to alert them." "Understood! Wait for my news!" Boss Wan nodded to Tang Wan, glanced at the couple again, and then quickly left.

Tang Wan watched as Boss Wan left, then told the couple to sit down in the chairs where customers were greeted in the shop and wait for news.

Boss Wan was very efficient; he returned with good news in less than an hour.

Based on the clues provided by Tang Wan, the authorities indeed found Xiao Bao, who had been drugged and tied up, in an abandoned warehouse at the western dock of the city.

There were not only Xiao Bao inside, but also seven or eight other children of similar age. As a result, the authorities captured a gang of child traffickers who had been committing crimes on the run for a long time.

The elderly couple held their child, whom they had lost and found again, and cried their hearts out.

Afterwards, the couple hesitantly asked about the fees. After all, they had been in a hurry when they arrived and forgot to ask how much it would cost. They weren't a wealthy family and didn't have that much money, so they were afraid of having trouble explaining it to others.

Tang Wan naturally noticed their embarrassment and said considerately, "People in the Xuanmen sect believe in cause and effect. You come to ask questions, and I will answer them. This money is required, but the amount depends on your intention. One coin is not too little, and a thousand taels of silver is not too much. Just give what you think is appropriate!"

Upon hearing Tang Wan's words, the couple immediately kowtowed to her.

The man took out the copper coins from his pocket and handed them over, saying sincerely, "Thank you, Master! You are the savior of my whole family. I have no way to repay you now, but in the next life I will be your servant and do whatever it takes to repay your kindness."

Tang Wan took the copper coin from the man's hand and nodded slightly, saying, "Get up quickly. There's no need for the next life. This is Xie Yi, and that's enough!"

Once the money is received, the cause and effect are settled, and that's it. No matter how much money is involved, the cause and effect are settled. It won't harm one's spiritual practice, so there's really no need to mention the next life.

The couple, carrying their child, walked out of the fortune-telling shop and kowtowed to Tang Wan, who had seen them off, to express their gratitude. Tang Wan quickly helped them up.

But when people who saw it asked the couple about it, the news spread quickly.

As a result, the reputation of the master at the fortune-telling shop for his great supernatural powers and benevolent deeds became even more widespread.

After seeing off the family who were full of gratitude, Boss Wan did not show much joy on his face. Instead, he sighed and said to Tang Wan with a wry smile, "Master, after this incident, I feel even more that it is a real pity to close this shop."

After all, when a master encounters a customer who has no money, he doesn't usually charge money; it's like he's helping everyone for free.

This truly helped ordinary people, especially those who had nowhere else to turn.

Unfortunately, the shop is about to close.

Tang Wan remained silent for a moment, then she understood what Boss Wan meant.

But she knew even more clearly that the Tang family had to return to the capital; it was the Emperor's will.

Tang Wan smiled helplessly and said firmly, "Boss Wan, I understand what you mean. But all good things must come to an end, and the Tang family must leave. This shop will have to be closed."

After all, this shop was built up by her own abilities; Boss Wan couldn't have run it alone.

Mr. Wan naturally knew that it had to be closed, but he just felt it was a pity.

So he smiled helplessly and replied, "Master, there's no need to worry. I was just speaking from the heart. Returning to the capital is a must, and this consulting shop must be closed. You don't need to comfort me; I understand."
