Chapter 19 Testing
After the turmoil was calmed, the ship Shen Xisheng was on began to sail again.
The boat passengers originally wanted to come and give gifts to thank Shen Xisheng for his help, but Shen Xisheng had already said hello in advance not to disturb him, so the boat passengers had no choice but to give up.
The rest of the day was smooth sailing, without any further accidents.
It's just that when night fell, Shen Xisheng was not as relaxed as before. In order to be wary of the actions of imaginary enemies, he began to pay attention to the movements on the ship.
I don’t know if it’s because Shen Xisheng’s thunderous tactics today shocked the other party, but it was very peaceful tonight.
The next morning.
The sun was blocked by a few gray clouds, and it started to rain lightly.
The cool breeze blowing through the curtains and blowing on people's faces can make them feel extremely comfortable. Such a day is suitable for sleeping more.
Looking at Yin Xianli's cute sleeping face beside the bed, Shen Xisheng's tense mood relaxed a little.
He quietly listened to the sound of light rain hitting the boat, which relieved his mood and made his thoughts clear.
The room of Chen Xiaoxiao's family of three is right opposite him, with two doors and an aisle blocking possible ill intentions.
Since he doesn’t want to alert the enemy, he can’t take the initiative to visit, but he can’t just stand still.
At present, the breakthrough point is still with Chen Xiaoxiao. If the little girl has no problem, then the other party's character will naturally continue to contact Yin Xianli.
You can take this opportunity to ask about the situation of his adoptive parents.
If your guess is correct, then temporarily control the little girl, let him quickly deal with the threat, and then explain it clearly to her afterwards.
After arriving safely in Beizhou, he would find a good home for him, which would be a perfect solution to the problem.
Just when Shen Xisheng finalized the plan, the girl beside him also woke up.
"Girl, are you awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Seeing that Yin Xianli woke up earlier than usual, Shen Xisheng asked in surprise.
Yin Xianli rubbed his eyes and muttered drowsily:
"Teacher, I had a dream."
"Dreaming? What did Xiao Xianli dream about?"
Yin Xianli tilted his head and thought for a while, then finally shook his head:
"I can't remember clearly. I just know that I kept crying at the end and woke up after I was tired of crying."
"What a strange dream."
Shen Xi moved his hands to help the little girl tidy up her hair, which was messed up when she slept in it, and doubts arose in her heart:
Could it be the dream I had before?
The suffocating nightmare of the past two days is still vivid in my mind.
The girl said that she was crying in her dream and couldn't help but recall the scene that left him with lingering fear. It was too magical but made him feel extremely real.
Things like dreams are so mysterious that it is difficult to explain the meaning of their occurrence.
Shen Xisheng only hopes that this dream is the opposite of what he heard from people in Blue Star.
The two had breakfast casually. Because it was still raining, Shen Xisheng did not let the little girl go out. Instead, he took out the chess pieces from the storage bag and started playing chess with the girl for fun.
Naturally, the game he taught his opponent was backgammon, and he didn't know how to play Go himself. Although you can use causal points to exchange for corresponding skills, there is no need to make it so complicated when playing with children.
The two of them chased each other on the chessboard and fought like crazy. The entire chessboard was soon filled with densely packed chess pieces.
"Teacher, you lose."
Yin Xianli pointed to his five-piece white chess piece and looked at Shen Xisheng seriously.
On the chess table, Shen Xisheng held his chin with both hands, looking at the chessboard and lost in thought:
Do you want to spend karma points to exchange for a backgammon master?
He can't even get off a child, it's so shameful!
Just when Shen Xisheng was thinking about how to convince the little girl to let him regret the game, there was a knock on the door of their room.
"Xianli, are you there? I came to play with you."
Chen Xiaoxiao's voice came in from outside the door, and Shen Xisheng's nerves became tense.
"Go and open the door."
He said to Yin Xianli calmly, and the little girl quickly came to the door to welcome Chen Xiaoxiao's arrival.
Shen Xisheng silently placed some dried fruits as snacks on the table, and then waved to the two little girls:
"Come over and have some snacks."
Yin Xianli, a greedy little cat, got excited when he saw the food. He quickly pulled Chen Xiaoxiao to the table and started grabbing dried fruits.
"Little girl, did you let your parents taste the raisins I gave you before? How did they taste?"
Shen Xisheng asked Chen Xiaoxiao while everyone was eating snacks.
“It’s delicious.”
Chen Xiaoxiao answered while holding melon seeds and cracking them:
"But my parents said they couldn't eat this because they were suffering from anger recently, so they gave it to me."
Shen Xisheng narrowed his eyes slightly and followed the other person's answer:
"Oh? It sounds like your parents are not in very good health, little girl.
I think my medical skills are pretty good. Have you ever seen any discomfort in your parents? I can help you.
After all, if you get sick on the waterway, it will be very troublesome to treat you."
Under Shen Xisheng’s guidance, Chen Xiaoxiao began to work hard to recall:
"Well...my parents have never been in good health. I often hear them coughing. They say it's a minor illness that cannot be cured.
They usually eat very little and give me whatever delicious food they have. After eating, they also drink medicine. I don’t know what medicine it is, but it smells a bit fishy."
After listening to Chen Xiaoxiao's words with a serious face, Shen Xisheng nodded seriously:
"Well, it seems that your parents are relatively weak. Presumably the medicines they drink are herbs that nourish qi and blood."
But what he was thinking about was:
Presumably, these two drink medicine that is not on the market.
Chen Xiaoxiao's two short words made Shen Xisheng very wary. From the little girl's description, the other person's adoptive parents were probably fanatics who sacrificed themselves in exchange for power.
Only in this way can the other party do things that a monk can do as a mortal.
The temperament of the fanatics is erratic, and they don't know what the ultimate purpose of the other party's adoption and careful training of Chen Xiaoxiao is.

Although Chen Xiaoxiao has not been harmed at present and is living a very comfortable life, this must be because it is not the time to take advantage of the little girl.
Once the moment comes when Chen Xiaoxiao is needed, I'm afraid these two people will show no mercy.
We have to get rid of those two people before they attack Chen Xiaoxiao.
After looking at the [Yin Ling Qi] entry on Chen Xiaoxiao, Shen Xisheng thought for a while before making up his mind and said:
"Little girl, could you please let me take a look at your parents? I can't determine the cause of their illness just from your description. I need to confirm it with your parents in person.
Once I determine the cause of your parents' illness, I can prescribe a medicine for them to ensure that the medicine will cure the disease."
Seeing Shen Xisheng's sincere expression, Chen Xiaoxiao, who was already concerned about her parents' health, agreed without much thought:
"Really? That's up to you!"
So Shen Xisheng told Yin Xianli:
"Xiao Xianli, I'm going to help see a doctor. You can entertain your good friends here.
It's starting to rain a little bit heavily. Please close the door after I leave so you don't catch a cold."
Hey, teacher, is there something in this?
The smart Yin Xianli was keenly aware that the tone of Shen Xisheng's last sentence was somewhat different, so she quickly agreed:
"I know the teacher, I will close the door."
Hearing that Yin Xianli said the word "closed well" a little harshly, Shen Xisheng knew that the other party had noticed what he meant. He nodded understandingly and then stood up and left the room.
Walking to the door opposite, he took a deep breath.
I hope this matter can be handled smoothly.
Then he raised his right hand and knocked on the door gently.
"Please come in."
