The 7th episode of Heart has obsession

  As he walked onto the bustling streets, Ximen Qing's mood was exceptionally good. It was springtime now, with mild weather and pleasant scenery, making it a perfect day to go out and have some fun. Looking around, there were already many young men and women walking together in pairs, seemingly heading out for an excursion.

  "Isn't that Young Master? Good day, Young Master!" A fifteen- or sixteen-year-old youth in a group of people not far away caught sight of Ximen Qing and hastily called out to him with great respect.

  Immediately afterwards, voices calling out to him also rose from all around: "Ah, it's the young master! Is the young master also going on an outing? Why don't you come with us instead, we've brought food and wine!"

  "Come with us, young master! Last time you saved my sister, I haven't thanked you yet!"

  "Oh, it's young Master Xi Men! Haha, thank you so much, young master. If not for your generosity, my wife and I would really be struggling to get through this winter. You're our benefactor!"

  "Good sir, I have some freshly baked buns here, would you like to try one?"

  ·····

  People on the street saw Ximen Qing and greeted him with joy, some with gratitude, some with respect, and some with admiration, all of whom were grateful to Ximen Qing.

  Ximen Qing responded with a smile, it was indeed a lot of trouble on the way. However, although it was a bit troublesome, Ximen Qing's heart was overjoyed.

  How can a ten-year-old boy be respected by so many people? Let's talk about the good deeds of our young Master Ximen.

  Ximen Qing, since learning to walk, was often taken by Zhang Shi to the streets. On the big streets, it was inevitable that they would see some helpless people. Every time he saw those people, Ximen Qing thought of his own bitter past and felt a sense of compassion in his heart, so he reached out to help them.

  Like Wang Xiaoliu, his sister was forced to marry the son of a local landlord, and almost hanged herself. Ximen Qing helped punish the landlord and saved Wang Xiaoliu's sister when he was only three years old!

  But like Uncle Sun, he and his wife had lost their children many years ago, and the two were dependent on each other. Due to the lack of labor force, they almost had no income, and eating was also very difficult. Every winter, the couple felt as if they were going through hell, worried that they would not wake up after falling asleep. In the end, it was Ximen Qing who gave them silver, grain, and cotton quilts, allowing them to spend the cold winter safely. This lasted for six years.

  But like that uncle, he was originally a woodcutter. Because of an accident, he broke his left leg and couldn't work, which had a huge impact on his life. In the end, it was Ximen Qing who helped out, spending money to get Uncle Zhang a set of equipment for steaming buns and a lot of silver, allowing him to sell buns at a stall and survive.

  ·······

  There are countless good deeds like this. From the first good deed to now, in eight years, Ximen Qing has helped, assisted and taken care of people that cannot be counted. It can be said that everyone in Yanggu County has received Ximen Qing's kindness. It is believable that although Ximen Qing is only ten years old, his right to speak in Yanggu County is greater than Ximen Chui Xue's. Even the county magistrate cannot surpass Ximen Qing.

  In his previous life, Ximen Qing was an orphan who lived a life of poverty and hunger. After joining the army, he became more mature and respectful towards the poor people. He believed that there is no such thing as poverty, only bad luck. Now, with the wealth provided by the Ximen family, he wants to think for the people and not let them suffer what he had suffered before. This is also why Ximen Qing wants to build his own strength to bring benefits to the people!

  Because of the persistence in one's heart, therefore there is no end to striving forward!

  Yanggu Wine House is located on the east side of Qinghe County, right next to the main road leading to Dongping Prefecture, so there are many passersby and business is booming. Yanggu Wine House is only a two-story wooden wine house, although it's not a large-scale wine house, but it can seat dozens of people and has a good reputation in Qinghe County. As noon approaches, it's time for lunch, so the entire wine house is bustling with activity, with people coming and going in all directions.

  Ximen Qing had just entered the tavern when he was spotted by people drinking and eating there.

  Among these people, many were residents of Qinghe County, so they were very familiar with Ximen Qing. As soon as Ximen Qing came in, they all stood up to greet him, not neglecting him at all because of his age. The other passersby, on the other hand, looked at Ximen Qing with a curious face, wondering why they had to be so respectful to a young boy. However, when they heard the explanation from the people around them, they all showed a sudden realization and secretly gave Ximen Qing a thumbs up.

  Ximen Qing did not put on airs, returned the courtesy one by one, and even exempted a large number of people from paying for wine and food. For a time, the voices of praise grew louder, all saying that Ximen Qing was a good man with great kindness and generosity.

  After chatting with the man for a few words, Ximen Qing bid farewell and walked into the private room of the wine house. In the private room, the shopkeeper's son was already waiting.

  "Master!" Qian Zhanggui said, clenching his fists and slightly bowing his body. Qian Zhanggui was the manager of Yanggu Wine House, and had been following Ximen Chuiyun to do business since he was very young, so it could be said that he was a trusted old minister of the Ximen family. That's why Ximen Chuiyun would entrust him with the management of Yanggu Wine House.

  Ximen Qing hastily helped up Qian Zhanggui, laughing and saying: "Uncle Qian, what are you doing? Didn't we agree before that I'm the younger one and should be paying respects to you instead? Uncle Qian, if you pay your respects to me again in the future, then I won't come here anymore!"

  Qian Lao chuckled and nodded repeatedly, stroking his beard, saying: "Good, good, I'll do as the young master says!"

  Qian Baiyun had no son, and was lonely all her life, so she doted on Ximen Qing, not one bit less than Ximen Chongxue. Seeing how sensible Ximen Qing was, Qian Baiyun's heart was also delighted.

  Qian Baiyun smiled and asked: "Young master, how come you have time to come to the wine house? Are you craving again and want to drink? Has the old man returned?"

  Ximen Qing nodded and said: "My father is back, just arrived home. Today I came not to drink wine, Uncle Qian, I'm not that greedy for drinking!"

  Speaking of drinking, it's worth mentioning. Ximen Qing had no hobbies since childhood, but he just liked to drink. Since the year when Ximen Qing was three years old and drank a jar of wine, he couldn't stop. The amount of wine he drank was simply like pouring white water, which scared Ximen Chusheng and Zhang Shi to control the white wine in the Ximen House, not daring to let Ximen Qing find out. But can that hold back Ximen Qing? It's clear that it can't. Over time, Ximen Chusheng and Zhang Shi also stopped preventing him, only warning Ximen Qing not to drink too much.

  Ximen Qing was a drunkard in his past life, fond of drinking white wine. He could drink up to three kilograms of white wine per meal and was the wine god of the entire army. After crossing over into this world, Ximen Qing discovered that the white wine here had an embarrassingly low alcohol content, similar to beer. Therefore, he could only treat white wine as plain water to quench his thirst, hoping to alleviate his addiction. This is also why Ximen Qing would get drunk from a young age.

  Qian Baiyun asked inexplicably: "Not for drinking, what did the young master come for this time?"
