Chapter 265

"Ah!!!!!!!h

The phoenix clenched its fists, looked up at the sky, and let out a scream. With a bang, she knocked over a basin of water in front of her, and the water spilled on her pair of cloth shoes of the Xiao family that had not yet been replaced, and Phoenix didn't care.

This shrill cry lasted for a long time, and it was not until he finished shouting it all in a breath, and it seemed that the depression in his chest was vented a little.

This is a small courtyard in Xiaojia Town, a typical southern rural village with a low farmhouse building and a water well in the courtyard.

Behind the phoenix, four tall, short, fat and thin men stood there, all looking at the phoenix with a look of trepidation. This is exactly the four wastewoods under Phoenix, the four "very famous in the supernatural world".

"Uh...... The young lady seems to be in a bad mood. ”

"Well, it's better not to mess with her at this time."

"I really don't understand. Why did we run back to Xiao's house? ”

Phoenix didn't seem to hear the four men behind him. She took several deep breaths. Only then did he calm down his breath.

Damn it. What the hell!

Why should I run away?! It shouldn't be me!

But deep down. A subconscious voice has answered in its place.

Because I'm not confident, I'm worried, I'm afraid! I don't dare face it! The reason why I ran away so quickly in such a mess was because I was afraid, afraid that if that kid really said something about breaking up......

In that case, Phoenix didn't dare to guarantee that he wouldn't go crazy on the spot, so he ...... She ran away. It's like an ostrich in danger that shoves its head into the sand and runs away from it. After running away, in case that kid Chen Xiao really said something ruthless, he couldn't hear it...... Not when it doesn't count!

Be...... Isn't that so?

Phoenix thought a little weakly.

……………………

……………………

"Alas......"

Chen Xiao sighed.

On a large bed in the wing, three girls lay side by side.

Xiao Qi'er is in the innermost, Zhang Xiaotao is in the middle, and Xiao Qing is outside - of course, Chen Xiao doesn't know Xiao Qing's name yet.

What to do?

Chen Xiao was hesitating.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and the old lady Xiao and the two young offspring walked in together, as soon as they saw the messy scene in the courtyard, the old lady wrinkled, immediately paused, glanced at the two entourages, and waved his hand: "All go out, you are not allowed to enter the courtyard without my orders." ”

The two descendants of the Xiao family didn't dare to say a word, they glanced at each other, their expressions were a little strange, they quickly turned around and went out, and closed the door of the courtyard before leaving.

The old lady squinted and looked into the courtyard - the trees were broken, the walls had fallen, and the house had half collapsed...... Hmph, what is this kid Chen Xiao playing?

He walked into the side room and saw Chen Xiao standing there a little helplessly, looking at himself with a strange expression, as if he was a little weak.

The old lady opened his mouth and was about to ask, his eyes crossed Chen Xiao and saw the three girls lying side by side on the bed, the old man was stunned for a moment, and saw Chen Xiao's already flushed face, the old lady's eyes rolled, and suddenly he looked a little ambiguous, waved his hand and said, "No need to explain...... Hehe, it looks like you're in a lot of trouble. ”

As he spoke, the old lady walked in with her hands in her hands and stood by the bed to take a look. Then he laughed: "Little finch, this girl is coming to trouble you again?" Well, Xiao Qing's Nizi also secretly ran back, hey! I told her not to tell her, but it seems that this girl must have secretly disobeyed my orders, hmph, this daring little girl, I really think I can't bear to punish her. ”

The old man's two eyes narrowed into two slits, and there was a strange gaze in the gap, looking Chen Xiao up and down.

"This ...... I didn't do anything......" Chen Xiao explained with a wry smile.

"Oh...... Let me guess, it must be Xiao Qi'er, the girl, who told Xiao Qing, and then came to you with Xiao Qing. Hey...... Xiao Qing, this girl is obviously affectionate to you, and she obviously didn't come to trouble you. Instead, he hurried to meet you...... However, when I saw this little girl surnamed Zhang in the yard, she knocked over the vinegar jar, right? Xiao Qi'er and Xiao Qing's two girls are both practicing martial arts, and several girls are jealous and make a mess in the yard. Well, you're caught in the middle and helpless...... Alas, in the end, everyone fainted, and you were the one who knocked them out, didn't you? ”

The old man seemed to be an old fox, and he guessed a few points correctly. It's just that even if he has the sophistication of the city, he would never have imagined that there was a phoenix pretending to be Xiao Qing in the middle, and then the phoenix left suddenly, and Xiao Qing suddenly came back, which caused a misunderstanding of Chen Xiao......

However, in the paragraph of fighting for the wind and being jealous, I guessed that one was not far from ten.

The old man glanced at Chen Xiao, and suddenly shook his head: "You are young, why are you so amorous, alas, you babies!" ”

He thought for a moment and pointed to the three girls on the bed: "How can you put them together?" If you wake up, won't you have to fight again? ”

"Ah...... So what should I do? Chen Xiao's eyes widened.

"Stupid!" The old man knocked on Chen Xiao's head: "This...... Zhang Nuwa'er carried her back to her own room, well, Xiaoque'er, I asked her to send her away, hum, it had nothing to do with her, what kind of trouble did she make, this time I won't punish her for closing the door for a month! ”

Pity Xiao Qi'er, who was in a coma, didn't know that unconsciously, the trial had been made.

Since the old man spoke, Chen Xiao was at a loss, so he quickly complied, and quickly took Zhang Xiaotao away and sent her into her own room, and then the old man called two maids of the Xiao family and carried Xiao Qi'er back.

In the end, Xiao Qing was the only one left on the bed in the room, Chen Xiao stood there with a stiff expression, and before he could speak, the old man suddenly stood by the bed, looked at Xiao Qing on the bed, and sneered: "Little girl, when do you want to pretend?" Your old lady isn't old and confused. ”

Xiao Qing on the bed had actually woken up - she was not knocked unconscious, but listened to Chen Xiao's sudden "confession", a girl's mind was too excited, her long-standing dream was suddenly realized, and she fainted under emotion, but after all, the person who practiced martial arts had a good physique, and she woke up in a moment, but when she woke up, she found that the old lady and Chen Xiao were in the room, Xiao Qing was ashamed, that is, she was afraid of the old lady's punishment, and she was a little ashamed to face Chen Xiao, so she had to continue to pretend to be dizzy.

But what kind of eyesight does the old lady have? At a glance, I saw Xiao Qing's pretending to be dizzy, and he broke it directly.

Xiao Qing's face suddenly turned red, so he had to open his eyes, jumped up, and stood aggrievedly beside the bed, not daring to raise his head, let alone look at Chen Xiao.

"Alright, alright." After all, the old lady doted on this girl the most, and sighed: "I don't want to punish you." Alas...... I didn't tell you before, but I also have some other arrangements. But I didn't expect that Xiao Fei'er's naughty bag broke me, and I don't blame you for this.

Ahem......"

The old lady took two breaths and said with a wry smile: "I don't ask you how you came back, well, I have something to say to Chen Xiao, you go down and rest first." ”

Xiao Qing listened to the old lady's words, but she didn't move, she stood there, her fingers pinching the corners of her clothes, and she didn't say a word.

She finally found Chen Xiao, and just now she heard Chen Xiao's "confession" to herself as if in a dream, her heart was almost bursting with joy, at this time, she definitely didn't want to be separated from Chen Xiao in her heart, and asked her to leave now, and her heart was naturally unwilling.

Seeing that Xiao Qing didn't move, but raised his head and peeked at Chen Xiao, how could the old lady not know this girl's thoughts? sighed and said with a smile: "That's it, don't meet again, I'm not old-fashioned...... If you don't want to go, just stay, well, I'm thirsty, you can bring two cups of tea. ”

Xiao Qing was happy at this time, and ran out happily, and before leaving, he glanced at Chen Xiao affectionately.

Waiting for Xiao Qing to leave, Chen Xiao suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, his face hesitated for a moment, and finally said in a low voice: "Old man...... Who is this girl? It seems to be ...... with me."

"Ahh The old lady patted his head: "I almost forgot, you have amnesia, I'm afraid you won't recognize Xiao Qing." Saying that, the old lady smiled strangely and looked at Chen Xiao: "Alas, Xiao Qing has a lot of affection for you in his heart, but you can't even remember who they are, isn't this too sad?" ”

Chen Xiao touched Wuzi's lips, which were still a little painful, smiled bitterly, and did not speak. He didn't know that this girl named Xiao Qing was not the girl who made her lips ache.

"This is your future daughter-in-law." The old lady sighed: "This family was set before you were born. ”

Fiancee?

Chen Xiao couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"Hehe, kid, don't worry, although her surname is Xiao, and your mother is also surnamed Xiao, but it is not a family with one family, and the bloodline of the three generations of ancestors is actually very far away, so it's okay." The old man smiled and pointed to the chair in the room: "Sit down, the sect meeting is about to be held, and it's almost time to tell you something." ”

When Chen Xiao heard the last sentence of the old man's words, he gradually became a little serious, and sat down.

"This story has two beginnings, which one would you like to hear?"

The old man sat down, put the dragon head cane in his hand aside casually, and looked at Chen Xiao with a smile.

"Huh? I don't understand. ”

The old man smiled: "That's it, let's talk about the first one first, our Xiao family was originally in the north, and it can be regarded as a famous family, and our ancestors have also been first-class members." As for the origin of the Lingnan branch, you rìzi should have understood the origin of the Lingnan Xiao family after reading the genealogy. And the main reason why the Lingnan Xiao family migrated here from the north back then was because of the name of the woman you saw on the first page of the genealogy - Xiao Mingyue! ”

Chen Xiao silently read the name twice, and couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity in his heart.

"Well, Xiao Mingyue...... This woman can be regarded as a strange person in my Xiao family! I won't tell you this story, and it may not have much to do with you. But there's one thing you must know...... That is, your fiancée, Xiao Qing, in fact, in terms of blood, cannot be regarded as the direct line of the Xiao family, it should be regarded as an external line...... She is Xiao Mingyue's descendant. Xiao Mingyue's descendants have always been very special, and each generation has retained the surname Xiao. And what Xiao Qing's father's name is, I don't even know. It's just that eighteen years ago......"

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly touched his head, and his face was a little weird: "This story is too unbelievable, alas, I am also old and confused, and it is all a confused account." Well, two beginnings, one a hundred years ago and one eighteen years ago...... I think let's start with that opening a hundred years ago. ”

After saying that, he suddenly touched his clothes, and then took out something from his sleeve, but it was a piece of silk, which was opened layer by layer, and something was wrapped inside.

What fell into Chen Xiao's eyes was a short knife.

The blade was already covered in rust, and there was still a faint red and green sè left on it, apparently blood...... It's just that I don't know how many years have passed, and it has been oxidized to a point where it doesn't look good.

The old lady gestured, Chen Xiao took it with both hands, and saw that on the handle of the knife, it seemed to be carved out by a person.

"Tian?"

"Well, it's the word 'Tian'."

Old lady Xiao squinted her eyes: "A hundred years ago, when my father was still alive, our Xiao family was still in the north, and the history was turbulent back then, which was the general pattern of changing dynasties and changing times. The Xiao family was also in turmoil, and at that time, our Xiao family had a strange woman, who was Xiao Mingyue. Counting, Xiao Mingyue is a generation taller than my father. In general, my father is her nephew. ”

"I don't know much about Xiao Mingyue's story, so I won't tell you more. It's just the origin of my Lingnan branch, but it has a lot to do with her. Back then, when the Xiao family in the north fell apart, Xiao Mingyue, who had left the Xiao family for many years, suddenly came back, and came back with her, there was also a strange person, that strange person, who claimed to be Xiao Mingyue's friend, his surname was Tian.

I didn't see the gentleman surnamed Tian back then, but my father told me that the strange man surnamed Tian has great magical powers, and his ability shocks the past and the present, which is unimaginable, and he is simply a living immortal-like existence. When Xiao Mingyue went home to visit, she learned about the plight of the Xiao family, so she persuaded the two brothers of her family to leave the north and go south to escape the war. On the way south, there were many dangers and difficulties, but fortunately, the strange man surnamed Tian accompanied him all the way, and he helped. Some people surnamed Xiao came to Lingnan and took root here to survive.

What's more, the Xiao family was originally a family of eunuchs, but in the era of war, where did the weak scholars have the ability to protect themselves? The strange man surnamed Tian stayed in the Xiao family for half a year, left a few sets of martial arts, and taught a few apprentices with his own hands, which is why we have the martial arts of the Xiao family! It can be said that the so-called Xiao family boxing and Xiao Men's martial arts were actually created by the strange man surnamed Tian. ”

When the old man said this, he sighed: "I was not born back then, and I never saw that strange person, but after I was born, I listened to my father's words, and I always had some doubts in my heart. Later, when I grew up, I learned the martial arts of the Xiao family, and gradually felt that it was broad and profound, and I had more and more respect for the strange man surnamed Tian back then.

That Mr. Tian, after staying in Xiao's house for half a year, left with Xiao Mingyue. Before leaving, he left this short knife, saying that if the Xiao family encounters any difficulties in the future, they will take this knife to Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, and publish a notice in the newspaper, and then he will naturally meet, as long as the person who goes takes out this knife, he will definitely help.

It was only later that the Xiao family developed smoothly in Lingnan and did not encounter any difficulties. And...... When I grew up, I counted the years, and thought that Mr. Tian was probably no longer alive, so I forgot about it.

Until one night eighteen years ago......"

Speaking of this, the old man suddenly paused, gently took the knife back, and wrapped it in layers of silk again.

"My father died in the war, and in the national war against Rì, he listened to the call of a Lin Kunlun hero in the past, and went to fight Rì himself with the heroes of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains, but died on the battlefield. Later, I inherited the position of head of the family, and I have been until now. In my life, practicing martial arts is the most talented among the Xiao family in Lingnan, and the martial arts of the Xiao family, I have practiced to the point of reaching the peak. For many years, I have almost never met an opponent, and I always feel that except for the world-famous Lin Kunlun hero in the past, this Huaxia Shenzhou is only afraid that there is no opponent for me. But one night just eighteen years ago, I realized how ridiculous this Yelang's arrogance was, hehe! ”

The old man suddenly smiled lightly, and then sank his face.

"One night that year, I was practicing qi in my room, but in the blink of an eye, I saw something more at the head of the bed, I was shocked, and when I got closer, I found that it was an swaddling baby! There's a young baby girl wrapped inside!

The shock I felt at the time was indescribable. With my martial arts attainments back then, the legendary realm of flying flowers and picking leaves that can also hurt people is naturally unattainable, but it is absolutely impossible for someone to suddenly leave a baby in the room without noticing! But just as I looked down at the baby, a voice came from behind me.

The voice said, 'This is Xiao Mingyue's descendant.' ’

I turned around and saw a middle-aged man standing there, with a beard, just standing there calmly, looking at me calmly, and then he said to me, his surname is Tian. ”
