After a walk around, Xu Changping had a basic understanding of the situation nearby.

According to Xu Changping's speculation, those scammers certainly wouldn't dare to cheat people right next to the Taoist temple. Nine out of ten times they were hiding in nearby houses.

Although there were many houses nearby, there were few people on the road in the cold winter, and Xu Changping didn't know where to start.

At first he rode his bicycle around, but later he found that riding a bicycle was still a bit fast, so he got off the bicycle and pushed it around.

God rewards those who work hard. Just as Xu Changping was walking around, a big door on the roadside opened from the inside, and a woman in her fifties came out carrying a bucket.

Xu Changping's eyes lit up when he saw this, and he immediately came over and greeted the old lady with a smile:

"Auntie, can I ask you something?"

"What's going on!"

The old lady glanced at Xu Changping's clothes, then saw the bicycle he was pushing. Although her vigilant eyes relaxed, she still spoke with a stern face.

"Auntie, to be honest, my family just had a baby last month, but I don't know what's wrong with this child recently. He keeps crying at night."

Xu Changping thought of the stickers he saw on the roadside in his previous life, and made up an excuse.

"Then you have a hard time too." The vigilance in the aunt's eyes disappeared a lot, and a hint of sympathy appeared in her eyes.

Seeing that the old lady was somewhat relaxed, Xu Changping said in a low voice with a bitter face: "Yes, I heard that there is a capable person near us, so I wanted to try my luck."

"I'm not really sure about this!" Although the aunt sympathized with Xu Changping, she didn't dare to say anything because it involved feudal superstition.

"Look at this, do you understand?" Xu Changping took out two dollars from his pocket and stuffed them into the aunt's hand, saying.

"This... I don't know what the third house with the black door in the alley does."

The aunt pointed in a direction, then took the money given by Xu Changping and hurried back to the yard, forgetting even to empty the bucket in her hand.

After knowing the address, Xu Changping did not delay and immediately rode his bicycle to find it.

Looking at the black door in front of him, Xu Changping was about to knock on the door when he suddenly heard a flurry of footsteps.

He didn't know what he was thinking, and he dodged and hid in the doorway next to him.

Soon, Xu Changping saw the black door being opened from the inside, and a man wearing glasses ran out with a bag on his back.

He peeked out into the street, saw no one, and then closed the door and ran away.

After the man ran away, Xu Changping walked to the gate, looked at the half-open door in front of him, and stepped forward and pushed it gently.

The seemingly heavy black door was opened without any sound.

At this time, Xu Changping also saw the scene in the yard. An old man with gray hair was lying unconscious in the middle of the yard.

The scene before him made him hesitate, and he didn't know whether he should go in.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Changping's ears moved and he heard some noise coming from the entrance of the alley.

Someone is coming!

If someone saw this scene, he might not be able to explain it clearly.

If someone in the yard died, he would most likely be arrested as a criminal suspect.

Xu Changping no longer hesitated and walked directly into the yard and closed the door behind him.

Now that he was inside, Xu Changping no longer hesitated. He quickly walked to the old man's side, squatted down, and directly probed his neck with his fingers.

Feeling the pulse beneath his fingers, Xu Changping took a deep breath.

Fortunately, the person is still alive.

After confirming that the other person was still alive, Xu Changping exerted force with his hands and picked up the old man like a princess.

Xu Changping carried the old man to the bed in the room without much effort and settled him down.

After scanning the room, Xu Changping used his foot to hook a stool next to him.

After sitting down on a low stool, Xu Changping began to take the pulse of the old man on the bed.

When he thought of this, Xu Changping frowned.

Ok?

There's nothing wrong with this guy!

Then why hasn't she woken up yet?

Suddenly, as if he thought of something, Xu Changping withdrew his hand that was still taking the pulse, and took out the small porcelain bottle of drug that he had placed in the space.

He opened the lid and shook it under the old man's nose. Then Xu Changping put the small porcelain bottle back into the space and sat there quietly waiting for the person on the bed to wake up.

Sure enough, not long after, the person lying on the bed began to move.

Xu Changping didn't move, just waiting for himself to wake up.

When Sister Miao San opened her eyes, she saw the tent above her bedroom bed. She was confused for a while before she remembered what happened before she fell to the ground.

She remembered that she clearly fell in the yard, so how did she end up back on the bed in the bedroom? Could it be that a neighbor saw her and helped her in?

Thinking of this, she sat up suddenly.

When she turned around, she saw a strange young man sitting beside her bed.

"you are?"

"I came here today to buy something, and when I arrived at the door, I saw you lying in the middle of the yard." Xu Changping said with a harmless look on his face.

He didn't mention that he pushed the door open after seeing someone running out.

"Oh, I see! What do you want to buy?" Sister Miao didn't care whether Xu Changping's words were true or not.

She only knew that if it weren't for this young man, she might still be lying in the yard now.

Thinking of that little thief, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Sister Miao's eyes. If she had not been caught off guard today, she would not have been easily drugged.

But it doesn't matter. When she chased out, she also brought some gifts for the other party. After she gets rid of the boy in front of her, she will see how she will deal with him.

"Um... I want to buy a book on Feng Shui and fortune-telling. Do you have it?" Xu Changping thought about it and decided to just state his intention directly.

Anyway, the person in front of him doesn't know him. Even if he is really exposed one day in the future, he will just deny it. Anyway, the two of them have never had any intersection before, and there will be no intersection in the future.

"What do you want that thing for?" Miao Sanniang asked with a frown.

This guy doesn't look sick! It's already this hour, and he still wants to buy that kind of stuff. Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble?

"I'm just interested and want to take a look." Xu Changping smiled shyly.

"If you want to buy some incense, paper money and other things, I still have them here, but I don't have the things you mentioned." Sister Miao shook her head and said.

She really doesn't do that. How could she, who ran away from a Miao village, understand those things?

"Do you know anyone who makes this? Can you tell me where I can find one?"

Xu Changping was not disappointed. He had discovered when he entered the house just now that there was nothing related to Feng Shui in the old man's house.

"I have to ask the other party first." Sister Miao San did not agree to Xu Changping immediately, but frowned and thought for a while before speaking.

"Okay, you can decide when it's more convenient for me to come over." Xu Changping nodded immediately.

It's better to find someone than to get nothing.
