Great heat.

The hottest time of the year has arrived.

"Tons, tons, tons, tons, ah..."

According to custom, it is necessary to drink herbal tea on this day of great heat. The local herbal tea is brewed with more than ten kinds of herbs. It is slightly bitter with a hint of sweetness. It clears away fire and reduces dryness, and is both healthy and nourishing.

Very enjoyable.

Oh, by the way, Chen Sheng also added some ice cubes to the herbal tea, which made it even more enjoyable to drink.

"Master, give me a bowl quickly."

"Qingqing? Why are you back?"

"It's so hot, let me take a few sips first."

"OK."

"Dong dong dong..."

It was said that it was just a few sips, but Qingqing drank several bowls in a row, making her belly feel bulging.

Chen Sheng looked at the girl's face from the side and found that she had not lost weight recently, but the circles under her eyes were frighteningly dark and she looked like she had not had enough sleep.

Well, Goulanqi is strange, the people are strange, the sounds are strange, the environment may be very painful, ahem, it will embarrass this little girl.

"Is there something unusual happening at Hanjialou?"

"How does Master know?"

"I know how to calculate...forget it, I can't make it up anymore. The weather is so hot. Will you run back if nothing happens?"

"There is indeed one thing that can be said to be unusual about a person."

"Oh, come and listen."

After Qingqing drank the herbal tea, she regained her energy and sat down on Chen Sheng's lap.

"A few days ago, a man moved into Hanjialou. This man looked about thirty years old, about the same age as the old man, but of course he might be a little older. He had an unshaven beard and seemed to be very depressed, but if you look closely,

Look, it’s not ugly at all.”

Chen Sheng rarely moved: "Where's down there?"

Qingqing said: "He particularly likes a girl named Xiaoli, and spends the night there for several nights in a row. This person seems to be desperate for his life, endless tossing, endless drinking, and wants to kill himself. I

I guess because he is in so much pain, maybe there is something sad about him."

really!

Mr. Xie is finally here!

Chen Sheng felt relieved.

"Being sad doesn't necessarily mean that you are drinking hard to forget the past and deliberately numb yourself."

"Um."

Qingqing nodded and said, "It's also possible. This person spends money uncontrollably, and the old madam Han has a very evil heart, so in just a few days, he not only spent all his money, but also owed money

I got seventy-nine taels."

"Then what?"

"With Granny Han's blood-sucking temperament, of course she fell out. She grabbed the man off Xiaoli's bed and threatened to either pay him back as soon as possible or let the thugs in the building stab him twice. Master, below

Guess what?"

Chen Shengdao: "He has no money to pay back."

Qingqing said: "Yes! The man said at that time, if you want to stab him, stab him quickly. After stabbing him, you can leave."

"The results of it?"

"The man didn't move. He actually watched two daggers being stabbed into his stomach without even frowning. In the end, he was bleeding all the way and staggered away from the Hanjia Building. He didn't know where he went."

Chen Sheng was a little surprised.

There seems to be a deviation in the plot. Xie Xiaofeng was supposed to stay in Hanjialou doing odd jobs and turned into useless Aji. Why did he leave immediately?

"Master, what are you thinking about?" Qingqing waved her white hands in front of her face.

Chen Sheng immediately stood up and said, "Master is going out for a trip. You should rest first. You don't have to go to Hanjialou anymore in the future."

Qingqing was startled: "Is this the person you asked me to inquire about?"

"right."

——Chen Sheng is not afraid that Qingqing will know his secret, because when Xie Xiaofeng disappeared seven years ago, she was still young and did not know him at all. Besides, it didn't matter even if they knew each other, he still wished that Murong Qiudi could be with her as soon as possible

What are the consequences?

The sooner he ends, the sooner Xie Xiaofeng will break out and eventually recover his true form.

People like Mr. Xie will only sink temporarily, but they cannot sink forever, because his fate has long been tied to the way of the sword.

…

Chen Sheng did not alert any of his subordinates and acted alone.

He thought of a place where Xie Xiaofeng might appear.

Near Hanjialou, there is a small teahouse. The teahouse is located at the eastern end of the market. Every morning, various coolies "squat" here, waiting for various opportunities to make money.

A gathering point for day laborers.

Xie Xiaofeng has no money. No money means he can't eat or even move.

Firstly, he has no money, and secondly, he is still injured, so Xie Xiaofeng will definitely not be able to go far!

In the original work, he did come here to find a job.

There was a "Tongfu Inn" diagonally opposite the teahouse. Chen Sheng went directly to the third floor to book a room and began the long wait.

By the way, he also brought over the telescope given by Zhu Yeqing. Everything was ready, all he needed was the east wind.

The next morning, Xie Xiaofeng didn't show up at all, which made Chen Sheng so happy that he couldn't even sleep well after returning to his cage.

In the early morning of the third day, he extended the telescope as usual and pointed it at the teahouse.

At dawn, there were already many coolies squatting outside the teahouse. The youngest of these people were only in their teens, and the elders were probably in their fifties or sixties. Although they were all of different ages, their faces were similar: they generally had dark skin and dark eyes.

There is hope in it.

Occasionally when a suspicious customer passes by, they will shout loudly:

"Master, do you need to carry something?"

"Madam, do you need to move anything?"

"The villain is good at castrating and gelding cattle and horses."

"A small one can cook a stove, and a mud wall can also be used..."

Chen Sheng didn't look at it for long before he frowned. Xie Xiaofeng didn't come again today?

Could it be that there was something wrong with my speculation?

It shouldn't be.

After staring at the teahouse for a long time, just when Chen Sheng was feeling disappointed and about to give up, a man suddenly appeared in his sight and walked into the crowd.

Chen Sheng had never met Xie Xiaofeng, but he could tell at a glance that this person must be him!

Xie Xiaofeng has a tall figure, a classic face, slanted eyebrows, and elegant temperament. His elegance is both heroic and elegant, and he is truly a rare handsome man.

Um.

Feeling comfortable.

Although he didn't like the other party, Chen Sheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

No one can play Xie Xiaofeng.

No one can get close to Xie Xiaofeng.

Only such an appearance and demeanor are consistent with his status. In heaven and on earth, throughout the ages, there is only one third young master in the martial arts world, and there will always be only one.

Xie Xiaofeng's current condition is very bad.

He was wearing a short shirt made of coarse cloth. He had no time to tidy up his personal appearance, and he couldn't even walk steadily.

Chen Sheng could tell that Xie Xiaofeng was indeed injured and was about to starve to death. His lips were chapped and bleeding. He stopped several times while walking and looked directly at the breakfast vendors.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a penny on him, so he can only sigh in despair.

Xie Xiaofeng followed the example of others and squatted on the roadside waiting for work.

When others called "Master, Madam", his lips moved and he couldn't say it out.

Others tried their best to introduce their specialties in order to increase their chances of making money, but he blinked like a silent gourd.

The overall performance can be summed up in one word: out of place.
