Chapter 126: Countermeasures
Chu Zhao reprimanded Xiao Liuxiang with fierce words in her mouth, but the tips of her reddish ears were still looked at by Lin Xiaohan, but she pretended to change the topic casually, but sighed in her heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She is not particularly keen on emotional matters, and she will not be particularly repulsed. She knows that when a woman gets married, one day she will follow the rules of this world and become her own child, she doesn't want to challenge the world, and she doesn't want her parents to worry about her. She just wants to polish her eyes a little brighter in this life, not to be rich and rich, but to be able to keep that person in her heart and be consistent.
Putting aside Chu Zhao's identity, he is as old as his father, Lin Xiaohan has never thought of finding an uncle, although the uncle is indeed full of charm. Moreover, Chu Zhao is a person in the rivers and lakes, although he is temporarily living in seclusion here now, but in the future, he will ...... Her talent for learning martial arts is not high, and the starting point is too late, after all, she can't be a heroine who fights swords.
Therefore, maybe it is time for me to change my name in the future, and be a teacher for one day and a father for life.
Chu Zhao looked at Lin Xiaohan out of the corner of his eyes, but when he saw her stunned gaze, he was inexplicably a little uneasy in his heart, this was his intuition, and his intuition has always been very accurate.
"Xiao Han, you have done your homework well today, you can go down and rest. Chu Zhao said with a smile.
"Okay, Master, then I'll lead Liuxiang down to play. Lin Xiaohan stood up and smiled.
Master, Chu Zhao's eyes widened, he was a person who had something to say, so he hurriedly asked: "Why did Xiao Han suddenly call Master, I am not used to hearing it at all, it is better to call me Brother Chu as before." ”
Lin Xiaohan paused, Liuxiang pulled him to rush out and was stopped, twisted his body dissatisfiedly, and dragged her hand hard: "Sister, let's go, find one black and four black to play." ”
Lin Xiaohan grabbed Liuxiang's hand tightly, turned around and looked directly at Chu Zhao: "A teacher for one day and a father for life, I was too ignorant before, speaking of which, you are as old as my father, I should respect you." Although you cannot take me as an apprentice because of the teachings of your ancestors, I will never forget the kindness of my teachings. In my heart, you will always be my master and have never changed. ”
After saying that, she lowered her head and coaxed Liuxiang, and the two left quickly.
There was a small fluctuating laughter in the courtyard, as well as the barking of the little dog, but Chu Zhao's heart was like being soaked in snow, and the words echoed in his mind over and over again: "In my heart, you will always be my master, and you have never changed." ”
His fists clenched tightly, and his eyes stared blankly out of the window, looking at the two running figures in the courtyard, one large and one small.
"Come on, come on, come and get me. ”
"Giggles"......
"Wangwang" ......
The courtyard was very lively, but Chu Zhao felt upset and irritable, he suddenly grabbed his sword and jumped out.
Lin Xiaohan, who was playing, only felt a gust of wind passing by, and when she raised her head, she didn't see anyone, she looked into the study worriedly, but she couldn't see clearly because of the distance. She was a little uneasy in her heart, but she kept comforting herself.
After all, it's Chu Daxia, nothing will happen. Besides, the long pain is better than the short pain, it is better to let him understand that it is better to cut off the sprout, so as not to fall deeper and deeper. After all, the soul in this body is not more than thirteen years old, and she can't pretend to be ignorant and innocent, so that she can let it develop and eventually hurt someone who cares about her.
Chu Zhao ran out, picked up a place where no one was and galloped to the mountain, then stopped and walked aimlessly. Before I knew it, I came to the pear grove, which was quiet and uninhabited, except for a few bird's cries occasionally, and the green pears hung heavily on the branches one by one.
Chu Zhao closed his eyes and recalled the scene of his first meeting with Xiao Han that day. That day, she pretended to be a ghost and tried to scare them, but this bold and careful little girl joined forces with her stupid brother to tease herself, saying that she was a thousand-year-old vixen...... Recalling the past, Chu Zhao couldn't help but smile on his face.
Later, he recuperated at her house, told them stories on the rivers and lakes, and then left after being injured, but when he returned, he happened to meet her in distress and saved her himself. Then he accompanied her to the lawsuit, that night on the roof of the cell, there was Han Guining by his side, yes, Xiao Han's words today were for Han Guining, so he had to avoid suspicion with him.
It must be, this kid looks ...... It's not bad, he has helped Xiao Han a lot, he seems to be rich, and he has a heart for Xiao Han, and he is indeed younger than himself, and he also has a heart for Xiao Han......
Chu Zhao became irritable in his heart, thinking of his wish that he didn't dare to say even though he won the rice planting competition on the day, he stood up suddenly, drew his sword and quickly moved his martial arts......
The murderous aura in the forest, the white light flashed, so fast that people couldn't see any moves, until half an hour passed, Chu Zhao's figure slowed down, and the leaves, branches and pears that had been cut into pieces flying in the woods slowly fell, and the sweet pear fragrance in the woods overflowed.
If Lin Xiaohan was here, he would have scolded him as a "loser".
Chu Zhao calmed the emotions in his heart, and sat quietly for a while, and gradually made up his mind in his heart, if that kid was really for her, and she liked him, then he would not interfere. If that kid dares to lie to her, hmph, the sword in his hand is not vegetarian!
At lunchtime, Xiao Han absentmindedly stuffed rice into his mouth, pretending to peek at Chu Zhao's face inadvertently several times. Chu Zhao sighed helplessly in his heart, and reprimanded with a straight face: "You two have been too slack in the past few days, your martial arts practice is so-so, and your writing is twisted and twisted. ”
Ah, Xiao Han exclaimed, and swallowed the words that came to his lips with the cold eyes that Chu Zhao swept over, lowered his head and ate quickly. Xiao Ruxiang was innocently harmed and ate the pond fish, but he was still young, and he seemed to open a pair of big eyes as if he didn't understand, looking at his godfather's black face, and then at his sister's white face, and twisting his body uneasily.
Zhang's distressed plea, Chu Zhao had already put down the bowl and walked away unhappily. Zhang looked at Xiao Han in surprise, Xiao Han had a helpless wry smile on his face, but he couldn't explain a word. Zhang's heart knew that something was wrong, so he stopped talking and carefully took care of Xiao Liuxiang to eat.
One afternoon, the atmosphere in the study was very quiet, without the usual warmth, so that Lan Xin, who came to deliver tea, did not dare to gasp, put down the tea tray lightly, and turned around and walked away quickly.
Chu Zhao frowned tightly as he looked at the words written by Xiao Han and Xiao Liuxiang, he could almost kill a fly.
Xiao Han held his breath and wrote intently, but he was a little funny in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the dignified Chu Daxia also had such a childish side. It's just ...... It's so cute.
"Smack!" Xiao Han covered the top of his head in pain, met Chu Zhao's stern reproachful eyes, and then put down the pen in his mouth, quickly gathered his mind and concentrated on practicing calligraphy.
Xiao Liuxiang saw her being beaten, and "giggled" twice, and Chu Zhao slapped him on the back of the head mercilessly. The little meteor immediately pouted, and two tears appeared in his eyes, but he was forced back under Chu Zhao's stern gaze.
Xiao Han couldn't bear it, and thought that he would make a cake at night to comfort his young and innocent heart.
When I came back from school for the beginning of summer and the spring equinox in the evening, I was surprised to find a dull atmosphere on the dinner table, and the spring equinox couldn't help but stop the chatter, shrank my neck, and ate silently. Lixia glanced at Xiao Han suspiciously, and Xiao Han shook his head with a wry smile.
The reason for this is not humane.
After dinner, after a short rest, the three siblings were called by Chu Zhao to the mountain to start training. Xiao Liuxiang looked wilted because of today's overload training, Xiao Han and Zhang had no choice but to ignore Chu Zhao's cold face and plead for him, Chu Zhao was also distressed in his heart, so he nodded and agreed.
However, tonight's training was stricter than any time for the three Xiao Han siblings, and the slightest mistake in the movements of the three of them was hit by the wooden stick in Chu Zhao's hand.
The three of them endured the pain and were trained bitterly for an hour and a half, and Chu Zhao ended the training with grace.
When it was time to take a bath at night, Lin Xiaohan soaked comfortably in the bathtub, looking at a few bruises on his legs, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. That's right, Chu Zhao's behavior made her breathe a sigh of relief, it seems that Chu Zhao wanted to open it, so he would treat her like this.
I hope he won't leave like this, after all, his brother, especially his younger brother, has not yet learned martial arts. and Liuxiang, in the past few months of getting along, they have become their own family, if they never see each other again......
Xiao Han shook his head, it was best to find something for him to do, so that he could "be a hero".
At that moment, Lin Xiaohan finished bathing, called Lin Lixia and Lin Chunfen brothers, and walked to the door of Chu Zhao's room in the front yard.
There was no light in the house, it was dark, Lin Lixia knocked on the door, but no one answered, he knocked a few more times, but there was still no sound. The three of them looked at each other, could it be that Chu Zhao went out, so late?
Xiao Han couldn't help but step forward and push the door, the door was unlocked, and it opened as soon as he pushed it.
"Brother Chu, are you inside?" Xiao Han asked cautiously as he looked at the black hole in the room.
"The three of you don't sleep so late, what are you doing here?" A voice suddenly sounded behind them, the three of them were startled, Xiao Han turned around and saw a slender figure dressed in white standing outside, and after looking carefully, he recognized it as Chu Zhao.
She patted her chest and took a heavy breath: "I'm scared to death, Brother Chu, why are you walking without a sound? And where have you been so late?"
"Go to the roof to see the moon...... Stars. In the night, Chu Zhao's voice was a little low and hoarse, he walked straight into the house, Xiao Han sensitively smelled a burst of wine, and his heart sank, he actually drank.
Xiao Han looked up at the few stars in the night sky, and suddenly felt a little guilty. A beautiful friendship, but I didn't meet the right person at the right time. I wasn't tempted, so I didn't feel anything, and for the simple Chu Zhao, it was the first time that I had a spring heart, but I died like this.
Moreover, he has been drinking, and tonight's events, to say or not to say?
After hesitating, Chu Zhao had already entered the house, lit the candle, and beckoned the three of them to go in and sit.
Looking at Shang Xiaohan's concerned eyes, thinking that she still called herself "Brother Chu" just now, Chu Zhao's heart warmed, and he asked with a smile: "How many of you, is there something wrong with looking for a master?"
Xiao Han saw that his eyes were clear, and he thought that it was okay, so he put his mind at ease and nodded: "There is something I want to discuss with you." ”
As he spoke, he told how he accepted Xiaoqing as his internal response, and the news he received from the carrier pigeon this morning.
Chu Zhao was furious when he heard this: "Those people are thieves, leave this matter to me, don't worry, I will give them a lesson that will never be forgotten." "I was thinking about whether to break my arm or cut it off.
Dare to move his reverse scales, it's really tired.
Xiao Han hurriedly stopped him: "Brother Chu, don't be angry, kill chickens with a knife to deal with them, you don't need to dirty your hands." Let's leave it to us, it will be regarded as a training for us, and Brother Chu only needs to assist us. ”
Lin Lixia's eyes flashed with cold light, people don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger hurts people's hearts. If they had stopped, they could have been spared. But since they are bent on death, then don't blame me for being rude. He lowered his head and quietly pondered a plan.
After all, Lin Chunfen was young, and after listening to his sister's words, he was angry and anxious, but he couldn't think of any good way for a while, so he had to blink his eyes and look eagerly at his master and brother and sister, his eyes constantly rolling.
Lin Xiaohan said what he had thought of: "The dog will jump off the wall when he is in a hurry, Gao Lianlian is not a patient person, maybe she will make a move soon." After all, she has to come to Chunhui every day to learn how to clean up and lose face, just like slapping her in the face every day, she won't endure it for too long. So everybody's been being careful lately. Especially my brother and the equinox, you must be careful when you go out, never go to unfamiliar places, and don't go to crowded places. As for Tang Dashan, Brother Chu helped us keep an eye on him, see where he went, who he saw, and come back to tell me. ”
The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. No matter what they want to do, having first-hand information is paramount.
Chu Zhao nodded, promising that he would definitely do what she said.
Lixia said: "I can't do nothing with the spring equinox. He remembered the last time Xiao Han hired a beggar to shout in front of the high mansion, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Beggars, if used well, can also be of great help. The power of these people at the bottom cannot be ignored at any time.
Xiao Han listened to him, but he didn't approve of them taking risks.
Lixia hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, we will definitely be careful." And we will ask Brother Han Chun for help, and we will not risk our lives. ”
Han Chun, Chu Zhao felt awkward when he heard this name. It was Han Guining's kid again, who was really haunted, he left by himself, and asked people to send two servants, and also asked Han Chun to inquire about the news of Gaofu. In this way, wouldn't he be more and more involved with Xiao Han.
Do you want to stop it? Chu Zhao thought about it, and offered that he could help, and he didn't have to go to Han Chun. Xiao Han thought about it, I used to read novels, and I heard that there is a gang of beggars in the martial arts, but I don't know if there is really one here. But if a gang is involved, Xiao Han doesn't want to, the water in the rivers and lakes is too deep, and their family has no ability to get involved, so let Han Chun help contact people.
So Xiao Han denied Chu Zhao's idea, which made Chu Zhao very depressed.
Xiao Han ignored him, and carefully discussed with everyone what way Gao Lianlian and Tang Dashan would come up with to deal with his own family, and repeatedly discussed countermeasures. It wasn't until late at night that the three siblings left and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Regarding the conspiracy between Gao Fu and Tang Dashan and his wife, the three brothers and sisters of Xiaohan temporarily hid their father and mother, afraid that they would know about the panic in their hearts and expose their feet.
Time is in a hurry, another month has passed, and Xiaoqing has sent messages from time to time. Li Chunhua went to Gaofu to meet Gao Lianlian again, and the two closed the door and talked for half an hour, but their voices were too low, and Xiaoqing didn't hear what they said. Xiaohong knocked on the side and didn't find any useful information, but she knew that Gao Lianlian had calmed down a lot recently, and she took two girls to Chunhui Yixue to clean up every day. Everything seemed so calm, but Xiao Han knew that there was an undercurrent under the calm surface.
Chu Zhao has a harvest here, Tang Dashan invited Lin Dabao to a meal at the cyclamen restaurant in the town one day, and the two came out drunk, and they also hooked their shoulders and put their backs on their backs.
……
On this day, it is Lixia's birthday. As the son of the Lin family, Lixia will set up a household in the future, so the whole family attaches great importance to it, and sent Lan Xin to invite her grandmother, He Mu, Huang Erhu and Lin Chaoyuan's whole family to celebrate Lixia's birthday. But when it was the right day, many people in the village heard the news and came uninvited. Everyone who came was a guest, and the Lin family also greeted each other with a smile.
At noon, four tables were set up in the courtyard, and Lin Jincai toasted table by table with Lixia and the spring equinox, saying words of thanks. For a while, the small courtyard was lively, and the men were drinking wine and punching, and they were elated. The women chatted loudly while eating the dishes, talking about the shortcomings of the family. Zhang's family, Lan Xin, and Xiao Han walked lightly, and kept serving food, serving tea and pouring water.
The meal was eaten until the evening, and the guests were sent away, and Lin Xiaohan's family washed up and went to bed early.
It was night, and the Lin family, who had been tired all day, fell asleep heavily. In the middle of the night, it suddenly rained. Thunder roared, rain poured down, and lightning pierced the night sky from time to time, like a monster with its hideous jaw.
Suddenly, several black dots moved in the distance. After a while, another round of lightning shone on the black spots, and it turned out to be several masked people wearing robes and hats.
The masked man quietly came to the Lin Mansion and checked back and forth. They split into two groups, one running to the front yard and the other three to the backyard.
A masked man ran to the back of Chu Zhao's house, took out something from his arms, it turned out to be a knife, he gently cut through the window paper, then took out a tube-like thing, and blew a few breaths into it. He waited with bated breath for a few more moments, and when he heard no sound in the room, he broke open the window and jumped in.
I saw a quilt bulging on the bed, and the masked man quietly pulled out the machete on his waist and slashed down on the bed. Suddenly, there was a pain in his hand, and the knife he was holding in his hand fell down. The masked man was taken aback, but what frightened him even more was that he suddenly couldn't move, and he wanted to shout, but found that he couldn't make any sound at all. (To be continued.) )
