Chapter 55: The Chivalrous Mrs. Chen

In winter, the day dawns late, but the chickens in every household are still crowing one after another before dawn, and they can't sleep even if they want to.

got up early to make up, but I vaguely saw Chen Qi's figure on the window, he was practicing swords.

Chen Qi had a broken sword, which was said to have been left to him by his father. This sword followed his father in battle and killed countless enemies, but it was cut off by someone else with a knife in a war, and his father died in that battle.

This incident had a great impact on Chen Qi, and he deliberately begged the general to keep the broken sword in his home in the military law class. He would get up early every day to practice his sword, and it was this sword that he used. The general once persuaded him to be an inch long and an inch strong, telling him to practice martial arts with a good sword, but Chen Qi refused, he believed that long has the advantages of being long, and the beauty of being short is short. What's more, every time he sees this broken sword, he always thinks of his hero-like father, this is his dream, he wants to be like his father!

Chen Qi felt the darkness and practiced his sword in the open space in front of his house. I looked through the window at his sturdy figure. Xiao Chuan said softly: "This family is really not simple. ”

"Yes, they see the world better than anyone else. ”

Chen Qizheng kept repeating an action, which made him always dissatisfied, and he couldn't help frowning.

"He seems to be having a hard time. I looked at his face and said.

"A person who practices martial arts has reached the highest level in continuous comprehension, and even if someone else has the heart to help him, if he is dull in his mind, he will definitely not be able to achieve it. Xiao Chuan said seriously.

"Who said I'm going to help him?" I grabbed Xiao Chuan's arm, "Do you know martial arts? Why do you know so much?"

"I don't know martial arts, these are all said by my childhood sweetheart brother Huaiyu. ”

"Childhood sweetheart, is the person who left Qinglong Bridge to learn art? His name is Feng Huaiyu?"

"Yes. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Okay, don't think about it. Think about where we're going today, Ying Tiancheng can't get out, we can't stay in this place all the time. ”

"We can go to Lincheng first, where Tongzhou echoes from afar, if there is no war, we can return to Tongzhou in half a day, if there is a war, the people of Houying Village will take refuge there, and when the time comes, it will save us from running around. ”

"What kind of place is Lincheng?"

"Because there is a king of Jingbian there, it is much better than Tongzhou and Weak Water Town. We can live there for now, and I can find temporary work so that I can plan for the future. ”

"It's fine. Anyway, the city gates are not open, and we can't sit back and eat. ”

After discussing it, we are ready to leave. At this time, the sky was just dawning, and the smoke of the Chen family's cooking had already risen, and Chen Qi also put down his sword and helped Mrs. Chen cook.

When we walked out of the house, we came across Chen Qi carrying a bucket to fetch water from the well.

When Chen Qi saw us, he shouted, "Sister An, Sister Xiao Chuan." ”

We stepped forward and helped Chen Qi carry water to the kitchen, and Mrs. Chen saw us coming and hurriedly said, "How do you do these jobs, girl, you are guests." As she spoke, she stopped what she was doing and took the bucket from us.

I smiled and said, "Mrs. Chen is too polite, she has been bothering all night, and there is so much inconvenience, and my sister and I can't repay it." ”

"Girl, are you leaving today?" asked Mrs. Chen, looking at us.

"Hmm. Since Yingtian City does not open the city gates, it will only be a matter of trouble for us to stay here. ”

"How can I say it's trouble," said Mrs. Chen, "that someone has been my companion." ”

"We thought about going to Lincheng to find some work, so that we could save up the money for the journey to Jingguo. ”

"Since that's the case, then why am I embarrassed to force you to stay, it's always inappropriate for your two girls' families to go to a place where they are not familiar with their births, my mother's family has a second sister, known as Chen Erniang, she has a big family business in Lincheng, I write a letter to go, she will help you." Mrs. Chen wiped the water droplets on her hands, "After eating this breakfast, it's not in vain that we got acquainted." ”

"Good. Thank you so much, Mrs. Chen. "I was extremely moved by Mrs. Chen's words, but unfortunately I don't know if there will be a reunion day for this parting.

After breakfast, Chen Qi went to the school. Mrs. Chen took out a pen and paper and said as she wrote: "I don't think you two are like girls who simply escaped from marriage. If you go to Lincheng, it's better to show your face less, although the prince of Jingbian is old, but his ears and eyes are very good, I asked my second sister to think of a way for you. ”

How did Mrs. Chen see that Xiao Chuan and I didn't look like a simple person, but I still avoided the topic and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Chen." If there is a coming day, he will repay the great kindness. ”

"I don't want you to repay any great kindness, in this troubled world, just be safe. "Mrs. Chen put the letter in an envelope and handed it to me.

Mrs. Chen sent us to the entrance of the village, and I took Mrs. Chen's hand and said, "Mrs. Chen, stop, we don't have anything to give you, and when we get to Lincheng, we will settle down and then write a letter to thank you." ”

Mrs. Chen smiled: "No need to say thank you. It's rare to know such a good girl as you, although I don't know if there will be a chance to meet in the future, but I recognize you two as friends. ”

Before the words behind Mrs. Chen...... were spoken, I choked up, and even Xiao Chuan was crying silently.

Is this a cry of joy? People who know us are dead and wounded because of us. Wandering all the way and sad all the way, except for Xiao Chuan, I am afraid that the only person who said that she was a friend was Mrs. Chen.

"Why are you still crying, how can you hurry if you cry?" said Mrs. Chen, taking my hand.

I nodded, trying not to let the tears flow, and Mrs. Chen said, "That's right." Okay, I won't delay you, let's go, go now, and you can see the gate of the city at noon. ”

"Mrs. Chen, take care. Here we go. ”

Bid farewell to Mrs. Chen and walk slowly along the country road. Lincheng, maybe another Longtan tiger's den, maybe a new world.

King Jingbian has many eyes and ears, will he know that I escaped from the East Palace, will all this be in vain? Or, if he doesn't know where I come from, can I borrow his hand to find the astrologer?

A bold plan flashed through my mind......
