From the sword of the third master

Chapter 37
Great heat.

The hottest time of the year has arrived.

"Ton, ton, ton, ah..."

According to the custom, it is necessary to drink herbal tea on the day of the Great Heat.The local herbal tea is brewed with more than ten kinds of herbs. It is slightly bitter and has a hint of sweetness.

Oh, by the way, Chen Sheng added some ice cubes to the herbal tea to make it more refreshing.

"Master, give me a bowl quickly."

"Qingqing? Why are you back?"

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

"Row."

"Dong dong dong..."

Said to drink a few sips, but Qingqing drank several bowls in a row, her stomach was bulging.

Chen Sheng looked at the girl's face from the side, and found that she wasn't hungry and thin recently, but her eyes were frighteningly dark, and she looked like she didn't have enough sleep.

Well, there are strange things in the Goulan, strange people, strange voices, the environment may be very tormenting, ahem, embarrassing this little girl.

"Did something unusual happen at the Han House?"

"How does the master know?"

"My master can figure it out... Forget it, I can't make it up anymore, the weather is so hot, will you run back if it's okay?"

"There is indeed one thing, and it can also be said that a person is unusual."

"Oh, let's hear it."

After drinking the herbal tea, Qingqing regained her vitality and sat down on Chen Sheng's lap.

"A few days ago, a man lived in the Han family building. This man looked about 30 years old, about the same age as the master, of course, he might be a little older. He was unshaven and seemed very down and out, but a closer look , doesn't look ugly."

Chen Sheng was unusually silent: "Where's down there?"

Qingqing said: "He especially likes a girl named Xiaoli, and he spends the night there for several consecutive nights. This person is like desperate, endless tossing, endless drinking, wishing to kill himself. I Guess, he is in such pain, maybe there will be something sad."

really!

Xie Sanshao is finally here!
Chen Sheng was relieved.

"It's not necessarily sad. Drinking hard may be to forget the past and deliberately numb yourself."

"Ah."

Qingqing nodded and said: "It's also possible. This man spends money without restraint, and the old bustard, Mrs. Han, is very black-hearted, so in just a few days, he not only spent all his money, but also owed money. I placed 79 taels."

"and then?"

"With Grandma Han's blood-sucking temperament, of course she turned her face. She grabbed the man from Xiaoli's bed and threatened to either pay back the money quickly or let the thugs in the building stab him twice. My lord, next Guess what happened?"

Chen Sheng said: "He has no money to pay back at all."

Qingqing said: "Yes! The man said at the time, if you want to stab, you should stab quickly, and he can leave after stabbing."

"The results of it?"

"The man didn't move at all. He watched the two short knives stab into his stomach. He didn't even frown. In the end, bleeding all the way, he staggered away from Hanjialou. He didn't know where he went."

Chen Sheng was a little surprised.

The plot seems to have gone awry. Xie Xiaofeng should have stayed in Han's House to do odd jobs and turned into a useless Aji. How could he leave immediately?
"Master, what are you thinking?" Qingqing dangled Bai Shengsheng's little hands in front of her.

Chen Sheng immediately stood up and said: "Master is going out for a while, you should rest first, and you don't have to go to the Han Family Building in the future."

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

"Correct."

——Chen Sheng was not afraid that Qingqing would know his secret, because when Xie Xiaofeng disappeared seven years ago, she was still young and didn't know him at all.Besides, it doesn't matter even if they know each other, he still hopes that Murong Qiudi can end sooner.

The sooner Xie Xiaofeng gets off the field, the sooner he will break out and finally return to his real body.

A person like Xie Sanshao will only sink for a while, but it is impossible to sink forever, because his fate has long been tied to the way of the sword.

……

Chen Sheng didn't disturb any of his subordinates, he 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, there are all kinds of coolies waiting for various opportunities to make money. A gathering point for day laborers.

Xie Xiaofeng has no money, and having no money means that he cannot eat, or even walk an inch.

Firstly, he has no money on his body, and secondly, he still has injuries, so Xie Xiaofeng will definitely not be able to go far!

In the original book, he did go here to find a job.

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

By the way, he also brought the telescope that Zhuyeqing gave him, everything is ready, only Dongfeng is owed.

The next morning, Xie Xiaofeng didn't show up at all, making Chen Sheng happy in vain, and he didn't even sleep well when he returned to the cage.

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

At dawn, there were already quite a few coolies squatting outside the teahouse. The youngest of these people were only in their teens, and the older ones were probably in their fifties or sixties.Although everyone is of different ages, their faces are similar: the skin is generally dark, and there is hope in the eyes.

Occasionally, when a suspected customer passes by, they will yell loudly:
"Sir, do you need to carry something?"

"Ma'am, do you need to move the goods?"

"The villain is good at castration, gelding cows and horses."

"Small cooking stoves and mud walls are also fine..."

Chen Sheng didn't look at it for long, then frowned, Xie Xiaofeng didn't come today again?

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

Should not be ah.

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

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

Xie Xiaofeng is tall and tall, with a classic face, eyebrows flying slantingly, elegant temperament, elegant with heroism, heroic with a bit of elegance, he is really a rare handsome man.

Ok.

comfortable.

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

No one can play Xie Xiaofeng.

No one can get close to Xie Xiaofeng.

Only this kind of appearance and demeanor can match his identity. In heaven and 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 state is very bad.

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

Chen Sheng could tell that Xie Xiaofeng was indeed injured, and he was about to starve to death. His lips were chapped and bleeding, and he stopped several times while walking, staring straight at those breakfast sellers.

It's a pity that he doesn't have a penny on him, so he can only look at the ocean and sigh.

Xie Xiaofeng imitated others, squatting on the side of the road waiting for work.

When someone called "Master, Ma'am", his lips moved and he couldn't say it.

Others tried their best to introduce their specialties so as 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.

Xie Xiaofeng is a son of a famous family. He was born with a noble status, and he lived a good life when he was a child. He has never suffered any hardships. It is indeed too difficult for him to find a job by "hawking". He can't bear this face , so I can only live in torment.

I'm almost starving to death, shall we give a shout?

You are good at riding, will you raise horses?
You are full of poetry and books, will you write letters home for others?
There are also night theater troupes in the local area, can they perform throwing knives and whips?

"..."

Xie Xiaofeng's skills surpassed all his "peers", but his competitiveness was the worst. Chen Sheng stood on the sidelines upstairs and couldn't stand it anymore.

On the first day, he did not find a job.

To be honest, it would be strange to find a job with such performance.

The next day, with a "gudong", Xie Xiaofeng, who was not cared about, fell to the side of the road, as if fainted from hunger!
The number one swordsman in the world has no money to buy food, and even fainted from hunger, who would believe it?
Chen Sheng watched quietly.

Didn't even move.

People always have to rely on their own strength to defeat their inner demons, so Xie Xiaofeng should suffer a little.It is difficult for him to feel sympathy for this kind of behavior that is desperate for face and suffers, and also gives up on himself.
