Chapter 433: The Xie Family's Method of Inviting the Household God
An hour later, Xie Huailuo returned to the hospital.
The two brothers met, and Xie Huailuo went in to check on Xie Siming's condition first. Jiang Li looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Xie Huailou said calmly: "Just take care of him, don't worry about anything else."
Jiang Li glanced at Qin Lang behind him, who nodded slightly, and she nodded seriously.
"Okay, I'll take good care of Siming."
Xie Huailou nodded, turned to Qin Lang and said, "Let's go. I've left someone here to take you back to H City."
Qin Lang was brought out of the ward by Xie Huailuo. After they got in the car, Qin Lang noticed that the driving direction seemed to be wrong.
"The airport is over there."
"Use mine." Xie Huailou said.
Qin Lang: “…”
OK!
It's a great privilege to go out with a rich man who has a private jet.
Soon after, the private plane took off in the middle of the night and headed north to H City.
Inside the cabin, Qin Lang lazily leaned back in his chair, shaking his wine glass gently with his fingertips. Looking at Xie Huailou, he couldn't help but jokingly said, "Third brother, you're still sitting so straight on the plane. Aren't you tired?"
Xie Huailou took a sip of the wine in his glass, raised his eyes and said calmly: "I'm used to it."
"Too."
Qin Lang took a sip of wine, the aroma lingering between his lips and teeth. He suddenly felt curious, "I'm going home, have you finished your business here? Why are you suddenly rushing here?"
He didn't believe that the other party wanted to send him home on a whim.
He wondered if something unexpected happened to Xie Huailou.
There were only the two of them in the spacious cabin. When Xie Huailou saw him asking, he didn't hide it from him. He straightened up and leaned lightly to one side, with his long legs draped over the other.
"The Li family is out of the mountains, let's go take a look."
Qin Lang suddenly realized!
He said, if there was nothing important, why would Xie Huailuo suddenly go back to his hometown with him.
"It seems that news spreads quickly." Qin Lang said.
"Um."
Xie Huailou did not deny it.
"Where's my uncle?"
"Home, he's more impatient than me."
Xie Huailou nodded and said, "It would be nice to have some dealings with my uncle first."
Qin Lang didn't comment. He opened the cigarette case and extended it to the other side: "Want one?"
Xie Huailou gently raised the wine in his hand.
Qin Lang understood, and put it in his mouth with his backhand. With a snap, it ignited.
After a moment, a puff of green smoke emerged.
Qin Lang dusted off his cigarette ash and looked up at Xie Huailou: "I see your second brother and second sister-in-law are here with bad intentions today. What's going on? Shouldn't your second brother be staying with you at the old house? Why did he suddenly come here? I can't stop him if he comes."
"Yeah." Xie Huailou responded, "It's the end of the year to worship our ancestors. I wanted Siming to worship the gods, but he was not satisfied and left first."
Scarlet flames flickered in Qin Lang's pupils. He took two puffs and lowered his head to brush off the ash. "Your words are quite refined, but unfortunately, I didn't understand. It's just a small matter. Your second brother is so old, is it worth it?"
Xie Huailou took a sip, his eyes quite serious. "The old man's condition is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Only a grand sacrifice can perhaps improve it. But a grand sacrifice requires a lot of effort and all branches of the Xie family will gather together. This is a rare opportunity. I thought that when the time comes, I would bring Siming to kowtow in front of the ancestral spirits. It would be considered as a formal recognition of the ancestor and taking over the business from eldest brother."
Qin Lang said, "It's no wonder your second brother is unhappy with you for doing this."
Xie Huailou snorted coldly, "That's not a place he can get his hands on."
As he said this, he drank the wine in the glass.
"Then do you think Xie Siming can do it?"
"I don't know, let's try."
"It's rare to hear the word 'try' from you." Qin Lang smiled.
While Xie Huailou was pouring wine, Comrade Lao Qin sent a late-night photo to his son Qin Lang.
Qin Lang put down his wine glass and clicked on the photo. The photo showed what looked like a quiet community. In the distance, there was a small detached villa.
Below the photo is a new message sent by Comrade Lao Qin.
"I have arrived."
Qin Lang laughed helplessly, "My father is really..."
"What's wrong?"
Qin Lang raised his head, then lowered it again to reply to Lao Qin, saying, "Comrade Lao Qin has found the Li family."
"Oh? So fast."
After Qin Lang replied to the message, he put his phone on the table.
"By the way, doesn't your Xie family have their own methods? Why did you think of looking for someone from the Li family?"
Xie Huailou said, "There's a mistake in one of the methods. Someone in the Li family should know about it. I'll go and ask if it's been passed down."
"What's the problem? Can you tell me? If I have any connections, I can help you find out."
"The Xie family's method of summoning the household deity."
Qin Lang: "What?!"

In the intensive care unit of the Xie Family Private Hospital in Haicheng.
On the hospital bed, a slender woman lay on the edge of the bed, dozing off slightly.
Beside the palm-sized cheek, a hand that had been motionless for a long time suddenly trembled slightly at the fingertips.
Unfortunately, no one noticed.
I don’t know how long it took, but a pair of long eyelashes swayed gently a few times in the dim ward, and then fell silent again.
After a while, the eyeballs under the eyelids were shaking slightly.
Soon, the person who had been "sleeping" on the hospital bed for a long time finally opened his eyes after several strenuous attempts.
The sudden light that pierced his eyes made the man adapt briefly.
Catch the eye.
It was the ceiling and the light tube above my head. The light in the room was fine. After getting used to it for a while, I could finally look around freely. I slowly turned my head to observe my surroundings, and suddenly, my sight stopped!
On his left was lying a beautiful woman, but unfortunately, her face looked unfamiliar.
The man lay on his side with his head tilted, stunned for a moment.
My mind was a foggy blank.

The temperature dropped sharply at midnight, the river wind was cold, and the mountain wind was even stronger.
The exile team that the women of the Xie family were in, after crossing the river, traveled light and rushed all the way. Until the night came and the road became more and more difficult, it was really not suitable to continue the journey, so they found a sheltered place nearby and settled down.
There were nearly a hundred people in the crowd, and they temporarily camped at the same place, which was actually not safe.
But going forward, the road is difficult to travel at night and it is easier to encounter danger.
According to the plan, being able to get this far is already very good.
Chu Feijian, the escort officer of the exile team, led his men to place signs and warnings everywhere before returning to check on the condition of the prisoners along the way.
Having seen that the bandits had indeed come down the mountain to rob, the convicts did not dare to completely relax even when they were resting.
In order to escape alive, the officials even abandoned the carriages and horses that were used to carry them on foot. It is conceivable how dangerous it was for them to be pursued by the robbers.
The group of people were in such a hurry to escape that they had no time to eat, drink, defecate or urinate on the way.
Finally we had a break, and as soon as we relaxed, everyone's stomachs started rumbling.
Perhaps it was because the people here were weak to begin with, and after a quick and silent walk, they gathered together unconsciously under the unity and leadership of the escorts and the Xie family. When they were resting, they looked at each other, and everyone laughed unconsciously.
It is a rare scene that can be seen on the road of exile.
