At almost twelve o'clock in the morning, Tian Qi returned from grocery shopping, said hello to the three of them when he entered the door, and plunged into the kitchen, frying, cooking, simmering, and without much effort, seven or eight steaming home-cooked dishes were served on the table.

Tian Qi once worked in a small restaurant on the street, running in the front hall, helping in the back kitchen, there is no one who has not done it, and even sometimes the chef asks for leave, he has to temporarily top it, and he has to sharpen it down several times, although he can't make any Manchu and Han full banquets, dragon and phoenix dishes, and a few home-cooked dishes are still trivial.

After lunch, Pang Xie said goodbye to the three of them, Tian Qi wanted to stay, Pang Xie said that there was still something to do, so he said goodbye and left, and after going out, he walked all the way north.

Defu Lane is located in Chang'an City, southwest location, not far to the north is the bell tower, after the bell tower continues to the north, is Yaowangdong Street, the two alleys are only a few kilometers apart, and it is more than half an hour to walk.

Turning into Yaowangdong Street, Pang Xie turned his head and walked west, walked for more than ten minutes, and came to the front of the Shuncheng community, that is, the residence of Li Tianhua and Xiao Yueya.

The last time I came, it was still snowing heavily, but this time it was the season of spring breeze and peach blossoms.

Tuk, tuk, tuk!

Pang Xie went up to the second floor, knocked lightly on the door, and the rhythmic knocking came into the house.

"Who?" Li Yueya's crisp voice came from the room, and after a brisk footstep, the door opened a small crack, revealing a young face.

"It's me!" Pang Xie smiled, and his right hand flicked his fingers, which were flicking on Li Yueya's head.

"Brother Pang!" Li Yueya was surprised and delighted, pushed open the door of the house, jumped up with a "poof", got into Pang Xie's arms, and kept muttering: "I thought you ignored us! How long has it been, and you don't come to see me or answer my phone." ”

"How can it be, some time ago, I went to the field for some time, and my mobile phone has been turned off, and I only came back yesterday. Pang Xie smiled slightly, patted Li Yueya's head lightly, and asked, "Is your brother here?"

"It's here!" Li Yueya pulled Pang Xie into the house.

......

The layout in the living room was very different from the last time he came, the professional books and model airplanes that occupied every corner of the room were all gone, even the furniture had been moved, and the whole living room was empty, only a small blackboard hung on the east wall, and six or seven folding chairs leaned against the wall.

"Brother Pang is here!"

Li Tianhua was sitting by the window, holding a book in his hand, reading something in a low voice, and when he saw that Pang Xie was coming, he hurriedly got up and greeted him.

Pang Xie glanced at him up and down, his eyebrows were like knives, flying obliquely into his sideburns, his eyes were bright, and his spirit was much stronger than when he was separated last time, but his body was still a little thin, and he walked a little floating, it seemed that this serious illness made him a lot weaker, and he couldn't recover so quickly.

"How's it going?" asked Ponsie concerningly.

"I've almost recovered, as for whether I can recover to the point before I got sick, let's take a step at a time. Li Tianhua's tone carried a kind of vicissitudes, and he walked between life and death, and the impact on his character should not be underestimated.

"Brother Pang, orange juice! Brother Pang, please take a seat!"

Just when Pang Xie greeted Li Tianhua, Li Yueya had already gone to the kitchen to squeeze a glass of orange juice, handed it to Pang Xie with both hands, moved a folding chair over, opened it and put it next to Pang Xie.

"Thank you, Little Crescent!" Pang Xie took the orange juice, looked around, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"You're mistaken. Li Tianhua shook his head slightly.

"And what is this?"

"It's a long story, I have been working as an engineer at the 729 Aviation Research Institute before, and I originally wanted to work in peace for a few years, and then do what I should do when the crescent moon grows up. ”

"Man is not as good as heaven? Pang Xie smiled.

"After this illness, I decided not to wait any longer, and to do what I had to do now. However, what I had to do required a lot of time, and I was too busy with my work to spare time, so I quit my job. However, I could quit my job and still have to eat, so I thought of an idea and decided to set up a cram school at home, making up math on Monday, physics on Wednesday, and chemistry on Friday, four hours at a time, or twelve hours a week, and I could save a lot of time to be busy with my affairs. ”

"Is the income enough?" asked Ponsei.

Li Tianhua showed a strange expression on his face, and said with a wry smile: "I originally thought that I couldn't make much money in this industry, that is, I could barely make ends meet, but later I found out that the income in this industry is much higher than that of me building airplanes." ”

Ponsie was speechless.

Flying machines are the crystallization of human civilization, Li Tianhua can participate in the manufacture, and take charge of himself, needless to say, the depth of knowledge, but the income is not as good as teaching a few children to tutor casually.

If Li Tianhua hadn't said this, Pang Xie wouldn't have believed it at all, if someone had told him eight hundred years ago that the master of the Dragon Tiger Mountain Refining Pavilion was actually inferior to the private school master in the city, he would have to laugh off his big teeth.

......

The two chatted for a while, talking about their recent situation, during which Li Yueya occasionally interjected to talk about what she had seen at school.

After chatting for a while, Pang Xie got down to business: "Tianhua, your body is already very average, and you have a serious illness, and the deficit is too bad, and it is difficult to fully recover normally..."

"Brother Pang, you must have a way, right?" Without waiting for Pang Xie to finish speaking, Li Yueya grinned, raised her little face, and leaned beside Pang Xie.

"Little Crescent is so smart, I didn't have anything to do, but this time I was lucky to go out and got an elixir, which has a chance to make up for the deficit in your body. ”

"What kind of medicine?" asked Li Yueya.

"This medicine is not easy to come by, I said that you can keep it a secret?"

"Of course!"

"I can too. ”

Li Yueya was stunned for a moment, only then did she realize that Pang Xie was teasing her, and her angry cheeks were bulging.

Pang Xie smiled slightly, took out a small bottle from his arms, and said to Li Tianhua, "You take a cup." ”

Li Tianhua turned around and went to the kitchen to get a glass, washed it, and scalded it with boiling water again before bringing it over.

Pang Xie gently uncorked the bottle, tilted the vial slightly, and a drop of red and bright thousand-year-old snake blood dripped down.

Bite!

The snake's blood dripped into the glass, and it made a crisp sound, like the sound of a gemstone falling on the glass.

"Drink!" said Ponche as he pressed the cork.

Li Tianhua did not hesitate, as soon as he raised his head, the snake blood slid into his mouth, slid down the esophagus, and quickly fell into his stomach, and a stream of heat suddenly surged in his stomach.

Pang Xie did not hesitate, and slapped several key points on Li Tianhua's body again and again to promote the circulation of qi and blood and better exert the effect of the medicine.

After more than 20 minutes, Pang Xie stopped beating, and Li Tianhua sweated profusely, and his face turned red, as if he had just had a strenuous exercise.

"How does it feel?" asked Ponche.

"Not bad!" Li Tianhua raised his eyebrows, the sharp edge flashed in his eyes, and his spirit was much stronger than before.

"The effect of this elixir is good, today is only a preliminary play, and you need to practice more later before it can really play an effect. Ponsie said.

"Got it. ”

"In this way, I will pass you a set of boxing techniques, and you can play a few times a day in the morning and evening to stimulate the power of the medicine, and the effect can be exerted as soon as possible. ”

"Then thank you Brother Pang. ”

Pang Xie didn't say much, and immediately passed on to Li Tianhua a set of Arhat boxing, which is a set of Buddhism's introductory boxing methods, which can best lay a solid foundation, which is suitable for Li Tianhua's current situation.

Li Tianhua was born smart, had the ability to never forget, and learned boxing very quickly, but in just over half an hour, he memorized the key to 18 hands of Luohan boxing.

Pang Xie couldn't help but sigh secretly, first Wu Chengxiu, and then Li Tianhua, meeting two people with extremely high understanding in one day was really a good opportunity.

If it was placed back then, with the talents of these two people, the major sects would definitely rush to be included in the door, but unfortunately, if the vitality of the current day is declining and the major sects are hidden, these two people will inevitably be covered with dust.

Drip, drip, drip...

Pang Xie was watching Li Tianhua practice boxing, when his mobile phone suddenly rang, and when he looked down, it was Huang Tao who called, and he hurriedly answered the phone.

"Hey, is it Pang Xie?" Huang Tao's voice was a little nervous.

"It's me. Pang Xie replied.

"I've finally contacted you!" Huang Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm looking for you urgently!"

"What's the matter?"

"My sister is missing!"

"Who?"

"My sister, Huang Ying, mentioned it to you. ”

"When?"

"It's complicated, where are you now? I'll look for you!"

"I'm at a friend's house, where are you? or am I going—" said Ponche.

"Come to me. Li Tianhua stood aside, heard the conversation between the two, and hurriedly said: "I don't have anything to do today, if you want something, I can help!"

Pang Xie nodded and told Huang Tao the address of Li Tianhua's house, and after listening to it, Huang Tao hurriedly hung up the phone and rushed here.

More than half an hour later, Huang Tao appeared at the door of Li Tianhua's house.

Knocking on the door, Huang Tao hurriedly walked in, wearing a dark blue flight attendant uniform, dragging an orange-red trolley suitcase, obviously just got off the plane, and he hadn't had time to change his clothes, his forehead was slightly sweaty, his face was a little pale, and he was a lot thinner than a few months ago.

Li Tianhua had already made tea, moved a small table and put it in the living room, and several people sat down around the small table in the living room.

Pang Xie picked up a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Huang Tao.

"You're finally back..."Huang Tao picked up the tea, drank it all, and let out a long breath.

"What's going on?" asked Ponsei.

"About a month ago, my sister went missing. Huang Tao said.

"Did you call the police?" asked Li Tianhua.

"Reported. ”

"How did it turn out?"

"Nothing to use. ”

"Is there anything wrong with it? I can get help if I need to. Li Tianhua said.

"It's not the police's problem, it's my sister and she..."Huang Tao hesitated, as if he didn't know how to say it.

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, things have been happening for more than a month, and it's useless to be in a hurry. Ponsie said.
