Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty Eight: Seventy-Eight Two Three Hundred and Twenty-Nine
Ouyang Feng searched for several days in Qingshan City.
He kept looking for Chen Changsheng's figure. Sometimes he clearly felt that he was about to find it, but he passed him by in a daze.
Just like now.
"Has that person been here?"
Yanhuanglou replied: "I just left."
Ouyang Feng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, but he soon understood.
It may be a coincidence once, but if it happens two or three times in a row, it must not be a coincidence.
'I'll be here tomorrow, I still don't believe I can't wait!'
Ouyang Feng left in silence.
Yanhuanglou put away the tea bowls on the table.
We have to close early today.
When it was still dark, the tea stall was closed. This was probably the earliest time that Old Man Huang had closed his shop.
After collecting the shed, Yanhuanglou returned home.
His family lived outside the city, in a flat, low stone and earth house, which he built stone by stone when he was young.
Yanhuang Tower was about to get the key to unlock the door, but when he looked up, he saw that the door was empty.
The lock fell to the ground and seemed to have been pried open.
Yanhuanglou was startled, his expression suddenly changed, he pushed the door open and rushed in.
I saw that the room was in a mess, and the bed had been turned clean.
There must be a thief!
"My money, my money..."
Yanhuanglou murmured, climbed under the bed, and then lifted the wooden board.
But I saw that the dark room under the wooden board was empty.
Yanhuanglou's breath suddenly stopped. He covered his chest and almost didn't take a breath.
“My money!!!”
Yanhuanglou roared loudly, and his eyes immediately turned red.
"Who is it! Who is it!"
Yanhuanglou climbed out of the bed. He was at a loss in this room, walking back and forth, tears flowing down unconsciously.
"Who stole mine, who stole..."
His arms were trembling as he walked out of the house again. When he got to the yard, he looked out and saw a deserted place.
Yanhuanglou raised his eyes to look at the sky above his head, and then he fainted after a sudden spin.
…
Ouyang Feng came to the tea stall early, but he waited from morning until sunset, but he didn't see the tea stall open.
Chen Changsheng just glanced at it from a distance.
'No door open?'
Chen Changsheng could only sigh when he saw this, thinking that maybe Old Man Huang was delayed on something.
On the same street, Ouyang Feng missed Chen Changsheng again.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon, Chen Changsheng finished listening to the play at the hook bar and wanted to drink a cup of tea. However, when he arrived at the tea stall, he saw that it still didn't open the door.
Chen Changsheng frowned and had no choice but to give up.
As he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice.
"Stop!"
Chen Changsheng seemed not to have heard anything and turned around and walked into the alley.
When Ouyang Feng turned into the alley, Chen Changsheng had long disappeared.
He punched the wall, furious.
Missed it again.
The third day.
The tea stall still didn't open.
"The door hasn't been opened for three days..."
"This is not right."
Chen Changsheng frowned, then raised his hand to do some calculations.
After putting down his hands, he walked towards the outside of the city.
After walking for a few minutes, Chen Changsheng came to an old stone and earth house.
Looking up, he saw Yanhuanglou sitting in front of the house with his head lowered.
In the blink of an eye, Yanhuang Tower seemed much older again, his eyes were red, as if he hadn't rested for a long time, and his breath was much weaker than before.
The figure outside the hospital attracted Yanhuanglou's attention.
He raised his head and saw the man in green shirt standing at the entrance of the courtyard.
Yanhuanglou was stunned for a moment and asked: "How did you find it?"
Chen Changsheng walked up to him and said, "It's not difficult to find."
He asked again: "I haven't opened the stall for three days. Does this count as taking the money and running away? Also, why are you so desperate in the blink of an eye? What happened?"
Yanhuanglou lowered his head, and his voice was much hoarse than before.
"I……"
"The money I saved was stolen."
After saying this, Yanhuang Tower seemed to sink.
He seems to have accepted this fact.
But every time I talk about it, I still can't help but get red in my eyes.
"Stolen?"
Chen Changsheng paused and asked, "How much silver?"
Yanhuanglou sighed and said: "Together, seventy-eight two, three hundred and twenty-nine coins."
Chen Changsheng paused and immediately frowned.
After a long silence.
Chen Changsheng asked: "How long have you been saving?"
"Forty-three years."
Yanhuanglou's voice trembled as he spoke.
He shook his head and murmured: "I don't know, I don't know who stole it."
"I've been saving for most of my life."
"It's just a little money."
"I went to report it to the authorities, but the authorities just said they would investigate, but they didn't even come here."
“That’s the money I’ve saved for most of my life!!”
Yanhuanglou said with red eyes: "I, I..."
When Chen Changsheng looked into his helpless eyes, he was suddenly startled.
Helpless, helpless, restless, confused...
Chen Changsheng froze on the spot.
He listened to Yanhuanglou's constant murmuring of "yin, yin," "no way," "can't find it," and so on.
Chen Changsheng paused for a moment, then said: "Chen, help you look for it."
Yanhuanglou raised his head and shook his head absentmindedly, "How to find..."
Chen Changsheng asked: "Are there any houses within a few miles around that have been robbed?"
Yanhuanglou shook his head and said, "I've already asked, but I haven't asked again."
Chen Changsheng stood up and said: "You don't have to worry about it. The money was stolen. Chen will help you get it back. Remember to open the stall early tomorrow."
With that said, he left here.
When he turned his back to Yanhuang Tower, his eyes suddenly turned cold.
In fact, Chen Changsheng rarely gets angry.
He has experienced many things like life, separation, and death. He has seen many sorrows in spring and autumn, but when he saw the helpless old man Huang today, the anger in his heart was somewhat difficult to calm down.
More than seventy taels of silver.
You know, how much money can a person earn in a day by selling tea?
More than seventy taels, that’s not one or two years, but more than forty years!
Old Man Huang has no children, and those are his life savings.
How is this different from forcing someone to death?
Where is your conscience?
…
After Chen Changsheng calculated with his fingers, he walked towards Qingshan City.
As soon as he entered the city, he met Ouyang Feng who was wandering the streets looking for Chen Changsheng.
Ouyang Feng followed up, grabbed Chen Changsheng's clothes, and said, "Don't even think about leaving this time!"
Chen Changsheng glanced sideways at him, then raised his hand and handed the penny to Ouyang Feng.
"The last time I took your penny, take it."
"Chen has something important to do today and I don't have time to chat with you."
Ouyang Feng was stunned for a moment. He suddenly shuddered and took two steps back.
When he saw the person in front of him, there was a chill in his body.
Ouyang Feng's throat rolled and he quickly let go of his hand.
After coming back to his senses, he saw that Chen Changsheng had already walked forward. Ouyang Feng paused for a moment, then thought about it and followed him.
