Chapter 246 Beware of Extraterrestrial Visitors

But what surprised the group even more was that Mr. Mei, who clearly couldn't see, glanced in their direction and then smiled.

He said, as if talking to himself, "I cast a divination for myself this morning, which said that good things were coming my way. It turns out that four distinguished guests have arrived."

"Aren't you blind? Are you pretending?" Xiang Dongyan looked at Mr. Mei with surprise when she heard him identify them so accurately.

After shouting those words at Dongyan, he realized how rude he had been and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I heard your nickname is... so I thought your eyes..."

After all, someone who's called "blind" must have poor eyesight, right?

Mr. Mei didn't seem to mind Xiang Dongyan's rudeness. He smiled and said, "I am blind, born without eyes. There's no need for you to apologize, esteemed guest. Although I am blind, my heart is not."

As he spoke, he pointed to the room next to him and said, "Please, my four distinguished guests."

Qiao Qiao, who was tucked inside Qiao Changdong's coat with only her head peeking out, watched Mr. Mei with curiosity the whole time.

Mr. Mei was born blind.

In other words, they were born without eyeballs.

People with this kind of face give the impression that they are always smiling and have a very good temper.

Aside from the Qiao family, Qiao Qiao rarely felt a sense of goodwill towards anyone she met.

The last person she liked from the first time was Xiang Dongyan.

Later she learned that it was because Xiang Dongyan looked like her older brother Sui Sui, especially their eyes, which were both phoenix eyes. That was the reason why she felt a fondness for Xiang Dongyan for no reason.

The man in the long robe in front of her, like Xiang Dongyan, made her feel good at first sight, and also gave her a very friendly feeling.

As Qiao Changdong carried her past the man, she even subconsciously called out, "Hello, Grandpa Mei."

She froze as soon as she finished shouting.

Because the man looked to be only in his thirties, according to his age, she should at most call him Uncle Mei, so why did she call him Grandpa Mei?

Qiao Qiao wanted to change her mind.

But Mr. Mei agreed, nodded, and smiled: "Hello, little one."

"How old is Mr. Mei?" Yan Liti asked curiously, seeing that the man accepted the title of "Grandpa" without any hesitation.

“I am eleven years older than you, and I am sixty-one this year,” Mr. Mei replied, following them into the house. He did not take a cane, but he strolled leisurely, and you could not tell that there was anything wrong with his eyes.

"!!!"

Upon hearing this, all four looked over in astonishment.

Yan Liti was not only surprised, but also somewhat alarmed: "How does the gentleman know how old I am? Does the gentleman know me?"

Previously, Mr. Mei was able to accurately state how many people came. They could be considered as people with poor eyesight but more acute other senses, relying on breathing sounds or footsteps to make judgments.

However, Yan Liti was certain that this was her second time in Hongfeng Town, and she had never met this Mr. Mei before.

Even Qiao Changdong's friend didn't know her specific personal information, only considering her to be a distant relative of Qiao Changdong's family.

She looks more than ten years younger than her actual age. If she didn't tell you, almost no one who didn't know her could tell how old she was.

How did you recognize this person who has no eyes and is born blind?

Or are all fortune tellers really that accurate?

When Yan Liti asked the question, Mr. Mei just smiled and did not answer.

He then made a gesture of invitation.

After all four of them entered the house, they were taken aback again.

Apart from a wooden bed and four stools, there was almost no furniture in the room; the only things there were things related to fortune telling, such as Bagua instruments.

This room is practically devoid of any human presence.

"Sit here." After inviting the people into the house, Mr. Mei pointed precisely to four stools and invited them to sit down.

When Qiao Changdong came this time, he brought ten catties of rice and ten catties of flour, as well as some vegetables, fruits, and meat, which was quite a generous gift.

He put his things in the corner as soon as he entered the door, and then explained his purpose: "Mr. Mei, my name is Qiao Changdong, and I am from Qiaojia Village, Hongfeng Town."

“I heard from a friend that Mr. Mei is very accurate in calculating auspicious dates. I came here today to ask him to help me calculate an auspicious day to see which day is suitable for laying the foundation.”

After Qiao Changdong finished speaking, he also gave his birth date and time.

Mr. Mei looked in Qiao Changdong's direction and smiled.

He casually pinched his fingers on his knees a couple of times and said, "The 18th of this month is a good day to start construction. The best time is 7:45 a.m. on the 18th."

Qiao Changdong hadn't expected the other party to calculate so quickly.

He was still a little stunned after the other person finished speaking.

Once you realize what's happening, you should express your gratitude.

But before he could express his gratitude, he was left speechless.

Mr. Mei then turned to him and said, "Would you like me to do a fortune telling for your little one?"

Qiao Changdong looked at him, his eyes filled with doubt.

He remembered his friend saying that this Mr. Mei didn't tell fortunes.

Someone once offered a large sum of money to coerce or entice him, but Mr. Mei refused to tell fortunes, saying that those who came to have their fortunes told were also people who were trying to scheme against them.

Life is inherently unpredictable and full of variables. Everyone has their own predetermined path, and we should not try to calculate it.

Why are you now willing to offer to have your daughter's fortune told?

Thinking about his daughter's unusual behavior, Qiao Changdong's eyes became a little wary, and he subconsciously hugged the little body in his arms tighter.

"Comrade Qiao, there's no need to be nervous. I have some connection with the little one. Since you don't want to calculate it, then I'll give the little one a piece of advice."

"The cause of the past life and the effect of this life are all blessings. What the little one should pay attention to right now is the visitor from outer space."

Extraterrestrial visitors?

What's the meaning?

The group looked at Mr. Mei with puzzlement.

However, Mr. Mei showed no intention of explaining, but instead stood up and gestured for him to leave.

When the four of them walked to the lush tree by the door with suspicious looks, a piece of red silk that was tied to the branch suddenly fell down with the wind and landed right on Qiao Qiao's head.

Even more amazing is...

The silk seemed to have a mind of its own, wrapping itself around the little bun on her forehead like a hair tie and then remaining still.

Even when a cold wind blew, the red silk satin didn't blow away; it seemed to have grown onto her head.

Qiao Changdong and Yan Liti instinctively reached out to untie it, but then they heard Mr. Mei behind them ask them a question.

"Do any of you distinguished guests know what kind of tree this is?"

Before anyone could answer, he asked and answered himself, "This tree is called a mimosa tree."

"The mimosa tree symbolizes a mother's love for her child, the most selfless love, and also has the meaning of resurrection. Little one, this red silk is the tree's blessing to you, please accept it."

He paused, then added, "I hope it will keep you safe."
