In Jiangcheng, the weather in June is as hot as a big steamer.
At the exit of the train station, there were crowds of people, and the smell of sweat mixed with the smell of various foods made people breathless.
Chen Fan was carrying a washed-white canvas bag and standing in the crowd, looking a little out of place.
He was wearing a pair of cheap street stall goods, which probably cost less than a hundred yuan in total. On his feet was a pair of Jiefang shoes. The edges of the shoes had been peeled off and were covered with yellow dust.
He squinted slightly and looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar city.
It has been five years and I never thought I would come back.
Back then, he was kicked out of Jingzhou like garbage by his family on the grounds that he was "incompetent" and lived in the mountains outside Jiangcheng. If he hadn't been saved by his master, he would have turned into a pile of bones.
Now that his master has passed away, he went down the mountain at his master's order, firstly to settle a mortal relationship, and secondly to find out the truth behind his expulsion from the family.
"The Chen family in Jingzhou... Hehe."
Chen Fan sneered in his heart, he still remembered the faces of those people.
But now is not the time to think about that.
He took out a warm dragon-shaped jade pendant from his pocket. The jade pendant was simple and had the word "Su" engraved on it.
This was a token that his grandfather had made with the old man of the Su family in Jiangcheng.
"Boy, after coming down from the mountain, go to the Su family in Jiangcheng. Your grandfather arranged a marriage for you back then. The girl from the Su family is called Su Qingxue. She is a good girl. Mr. Su is kind to you. If you go and recognize this marriage, you can repay the kindness back then."
The master's last words were still in my ears.
