Chapter Ninety-Four: The Zhou Family Exterminated
The color fades.
Xue Yun came to Zhou Yan's residence with a steaming sweet soup in his own hand, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Su Run standing straight by the closed doors and windows.
Su Run leaned sideways, stared at the closed door in a daze, and just stood there without moving. Sensing Xue Yun coming, Su Run bowed to her silently.
Xue Yun sighed, nodded at Su Run, and gently pushed the door in.
What happened, by daytime, they already knew it.
As Li Yanning was most worried about before, the news they brought when they came from Chenzhou was really related to Zhou Yan and them.
The family in Qiaozhou defected to the Feng family and moved to Zhongzhou, surnamed Qiu. And before they moved their family, according to the rumors of the family that was wiped out again, it was also true. The one who was destroyed was exactly ...... Last name Zhou.
When Zhou Yan and Su Run rushed back to Qiaozhou, the Zhou family had been wiped out, and the people who had some dealings with the Zhou family helped collect the bones of the Zhou family and buried them in the ancestral grave of the Zhou family.
Zhou Yan rushed back to Zhou's house, leaving only the ruins of the broken wall that had been burned by the fire and the brand-new tombs in the ancestral tomb.
According to reports, the reason is that the Qiu family looked at the daughter of the Zhou family, and the Zhou family refused to marry, and the daughter escaped from marriage and left Qiaozhou. The enemy, who has become much more powerful than the Zhou family over the years, has lost face, and after several provocations, he has become really angry, and he has been ...... endlessly Suddenly extinguished the Zhou family.
Zhou Yan is the daughter of the Zhou family who escaped marriage and left Qiaozhou.
The only daughter of the Zhou family.
After knowing this, Zhou Yan collapsed almost immediately, and he was about to go to the enemy's house to take revenge, but fortunately he was stopped by Su Run.
But this time it also exposed the traces of Zhou Yan, who had rushed back to Qiaozhou in a low-key manner, and the Qiu family also discovered her, the only surviving Zhou family.
Zhou Yan began to be hunted down by the enemy, but if it was just like this, he would not end up in such a mess as he is now, after all, Su Run is the personal disciple of the Great Elder of the Demon Palace, and he also has a lot of weight in the Demon Palace. No, Su Runding is on Zhou Yan's side and will not let her have anything to do, as far as the enemy's actions of destroying the Zhou family are extremely vicious and unjustified just because of personal grudges, as the arbiter of the rules and conventions of everyone in Qiaozhou, the Demon Palace has the right and ability to deal with the enemy family to seek justice for the Zhou family and Zhou Yan.
But in the eventful autumn after the Streamer Grass Mountain Range, a Feng family who wanted to support the enemy jumped out from behind.
Feng Jiali defended the enemy, and at the same time listed dozens of crimes of the Zhou family, saying that the Zhou family was full of evil deeds and crimes, and the enemy family was just eliminating harm for the people and eliminating scum for the cultivation realm, and what they did was not inappropriate but worthy of admiration and praise. The Feng family couldn't get used to seeing such a "righteous" family being oppressed by the forces in Qiaozhou, so they stepped forward to be the master of the enemy family and tried their best to protect the enemy, and specially sent people from the Feng family to work with the enemy family to hunt down the evil Zhou family.
After that, the enemy family completely hid under the wing of the Feng family to fight against the Qiaozhou Demon Palace, and they couldn't be moved at all, but Zhou Yan, who was the bitter master, became the target of wanting.
Zhou Yan was pressed by Su Run to avoid the pursuit of the enemy family and the Feng family under the protection of the Demon Palace, but within a few days, he heard ......
The Feng family said that all the people of the Zhou family were murderous and unforgivable, and they were not worthy of being buried in the cemetery peacefully, and they actually connived at the enemy family to send people to dig up the grave of the Zhou family who had just been buried not long ago!
Zhou Yan was almost crazy.
Regardless of the so-called safety and the so-called forbearance, Zhou Yan rushed to the ancestral cemetery of the Zhou family to see the corpse of the Zhou family that had been dug out and exposed to the scorching sun, and fought desperately in the cemetery with the momentum of dying with the enemy.
When Su Run arrived, Zhou Yan was surrounded, covered in blood, and his consciousness was no longer clear, but his eyes were surprisingly red, and he refused to fall down and stop.
Su Run broke into the cemetery and relied on Xuanwu Xuan to barely hold the situation, but the people from the enemy family and even the Feng family came one after another, if it weren't for the few senior brothers who arrived in a hurry to hold the scene, Su Run might not be able to rescue Zhou Yan but would have to die here with her.
Zhou Yan was too heavy, and even damaged the mountain, and after leaving the cemetery, he was in a coma for two whole months before he woke up, and during this time, because Su Run and several of his senior brothers intervened in this matter, the Feng family and the Demon Palace were once at suffrage. Su Run took Zhou Yan into hiding, but fortunately, after all, the Feng family in Qiaozhou was not as good as the Demon Palace, which had been in operation for many years, and the two of them were not found.
After Zhou Yan woke up, he never said a word, like a walking corpse, Su Run didn't know how much thought he put into order to let her recuperate well, and the help of several of his senior brothers and sisters was indispensable, and the one who contacted him most often was the third senior brother Luo Jingyun.
Zhou Yan was in a state of confusion for a long time, until Su Run's fourth senior sister spent a few months of hard work, creating various opportunities again and again to lure people away and even digging passages from the ground, sneaking into the Zhou family cemetery guarded by the Feng family and the enemy family, and replacing the bones of the Zhou family with similar bones from the mass grave little by little, guarding them in a few storage bags, and letting Luo Jingyun bring them to Su Run, and later handed them over to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan finally "lived" when he received the storage bags, and knelt on the ground with a few storage bags in his arms, crying hoarsely.
After that, Zhou Yan began to be concerned about recuperation, and began to cultivate like crazy, without caring about his body.
Su Run couldn't stop it, and he couldn't persuade it.
The Feng family finally left Qiaozhou, and the enemy family also left Qiaozhou with some of the Feng family's manpower, after the family moved out of Qiaozhou and moved to Zhongzhou, Su Run waited cautiously for a long time, and saw that the rumors had indeed passed for the time being, and only after there were fewer people chasing Zhou Yan in Qiaozhou and at the border of Qiaozhou, did he contact Xiao Luo.
Qiaozhou is the place where the incident occurred, the Feng family and the Qiu family failed to catch Zhou Yan in Qiaozhou, they may not have left a backhand, and it may not be safe to stay in Qiaozhou, so it is better to leave as soon as possible. But now that the Zhou family has been wiped out, Zhou Yan is alone, and he is obviously standing on the opposite side of the Feng family, the most powerful Feng family in Kyushu, and those who have some relationships with the Zhou family in the past have become less credible at this moment, and no one is good, whether they are willing to take this big risk to take Zhou Yan in, and they are not sure if they will betray Zhou Yan in front of interests.
Looking at it, it is Xiao Luo and Xue Yuan, who have already decided to bring down the Feng family, and their side is the most reassuring place.
Zhou Yan also knew this in his heart.
As early as when Li Yanning's matter came out in Lingling City, Cangzhou, Zhou Yan analyzed the situation with Xue Yuan. Xue Yun was determined to bring down Yuan Che and bring down the Feng family, and at that time, he also had a lot of feasible plans in his heart, even if he put it in the past, it might not be impossible to do it now. Moreover, Zhou Yan knew that on the side of Qiaozhou, the Demon Palace had been taken down by the Feng family several times before and after, and he was already very dissatisfied, and if he had the opportunity, he would definitely be willing to fight against the Feng family together.
Xue Yun is not only a friend who can take her in under this circumstances, but also a teammate who hopes to work together to bring down the Feng family in the future.
Zhou Yan knew that she and the Feng family were already dying. The Feng family is not down, she can't even deal with the enemy.
......
When Xue Yun pushed the door and entered, the newly built room was dark and unlit.
Zhou Yan sat at the table and looked at a light cyan bracelet with a little gold spots on the table.
Xue Yuan's heart was sour: "Ah Yan." ”
Zhou Yan paused for a while, and after Xue Yan had already walked over and put the tray in his hand on the table, avoiding the bracelet, and casually lighting the lights and candles in the room, he slowly turned his head to look at Xue Yun who was sitting beside him.
Zhou Yan opened his mouth, but did not make any sound.
"Ah Yan, taste the sweet soup I made?" Xue Yun pushed the steaming soup bowl on the table towards Zhou Yan: "It's rare for me to cook once, and I can only cook such simple things." ”
Zhou Yan lowered his eyes, looked at the sweet soup on the table, and still didn't speak.
"Ah Yan. Xue Yun stretched out his hand and gently held Zhou Yan's shoulder: "No matter what, you have to take care of yourself." ”
After a moment of silence, Zhou Yan chuckled, but in this laughter, it was full of desolation and despair:
"What else do I have to qualify...... ...... to be preserved?"
"Ah Yan. Xue Yuan's hand on her shoulder squeezed two points slightly: "It is the enemy family who is guilty, the Feng family who supports the enemy family and helps the abuse, not the ......."
"It's me. Zhou Yan's voice was hoarse and had not yet recovered, although it was light, but it was also very clear in the quiet room.
"Ah Yan!"
"I ...... I've been thinking about it these days...... I've been thinking about ...... If I hadn't run away from Qiaozhou at the beginning, I hadn't run away from marriage...... Isn't it...... Now my family ...... It's all still there...... Grandpa, father, mother, second uncle, second aunt, aunt...... They are all returned, they are all returned...... Live a good life......"
Xue Yun shook her shoulder: "Ah Yan, don't think about it." ”
"But...... They're all gone...... I'm so tired of ...... Death for no reason, even the corpse is not peaceful!"
Zhou Yan's body began to tremble, and his eyes were red but a little dry.
"Ah Yan!" Xue Yun stretched out his other hand, and his hands smashed her shoulders hard to make her turn around and face herself: "Listen! The guilty is the Qiu family, the Feng family, and what you have to deal with is the Qiu family, the Feng family, not yourself!"
Zhou Yan and Xue Yun looked at each other for a moment, and finally couldn't help crying anymore, and tears slipped out of their eyes one by one:
"But it's all because of me...... It's me! The enemy has shown no mercy to our Zhou family's subordinates, just to avenge the humiliation of my escape from marriage, it is me...... It's all my ......."
"Ah Yan, this matter is not so simple, the enemy family suddenly became arrogant and even ignored the Demon Palace, there must be a reason for it, and the Feng family will not take care of things for no reason. This matter is just a pretense, and the Zhou family will ...... Either it was a reason for the Feng family to take the opportunity to suppress the Demon Palace, or there was something next to them that was coveted or feared by the enemy or even the Feng family. The Zhou family has already ...... After the destruction, they still refuse to let you go, it must not be some bullshit reason to 'eliminate evil', we all think it is the second possibility, the Zhou family is guilty of it, and the enemy Feng family is targeted. I wanted to marry you with ulterior motives, this time...... The so-called humiliation of escaping marriage is just an excuse. "Even if there is no such thing as Zhou Yan running away from marriage, even if Zhou Yan really marries, the Zhou family may not be able to escape this catastrophe.
When Zhou Yan heard this, he smiled miserably, and his face became two points paler: "I ...... me Thought of these...... But...... Who's going to know for sure......"
"Smoke ......"
"No matter how much I think about these reasons, I can't help it...... There's no way not to hate myself. Zhou Yan closed his eyes, tilted his head slightly, and his face was full of tears: "When I was in Lingling City, after I talked to Yan Ning...... My heart began to feel uneasy, and I began to ...... Spit on yourself. Lime ...... At the beginning, Yan Ning knew what Yuan Che was, and she knew that marrying was a fire pit, but she ...... In order not to affect her family and not hurt others, for the sake of the Li family who are not good to her at all...... But what about me? I'm the opposite of Yanning. The people of the Zhou family, grandfathers, fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts and aunts, each of them loves me very much, and every one of them takes care of me, and they have never let me be wronged since I grew up...... But what about me...... How do I repay them...... How did I, a wolf-hearted and unscrupulous descendant, affect them......"
Therefore, Zhou Yan didn't go to see Li Yanning at all when he saw Li Yanning again today.
It's not that she doesn't want to see Yan Ning, she doesn't dare to look at Yan Ning.
The stark contrast between Li Yanning and Zhou Yan's unsatisfactory marriage choice, in the whole Zhou family paying such a painful price, has been deeply rooted in Zhou Yan's heart, and every time she is questioned and blamed, making her unable to stand up in the guilt of covering the floor.
Xue Yan's hand held Zhou Yan's shoulder and sighed.
She remembered that Su Run mentioned that Zhou Yan was able to "escape marriage" smoothly and leave Qiaozhou with Su Run, but it was actually with the acquiescence of Zhou Jiarao. Even Zhou Yan's mother prepared luggage for Zhou Yan, Zhou Yan's grandfather...... I also saw Su Run.
Zhou Yan is different from Li Yanning, Zhou Yan escaped from marriage and left, not only Zhou Yan's own wishes after falling his heart on Su Run, but also Zhou Jiarao's meaning.
Zhou Yan took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, and then stretched out his hand to pull down the palm of Xue Yun on his shoulder, and put the bracelet on the table that she had been staring at for a long time in the palm of Xue Yuan's hand.
"Ah Yan?"
Zhou Yan lowered his eyes and looked at the bracelet in Xue Yun's palm, and his voice was a little choked: "This is ...... Before I left Qiaozhou, my grandfather gave it to me. He asked me to ...... Take it with you and keep it safe...... At that time, I thought he didn't know that I was planning to run away from marriage, and thought he was ...... Let me wear the ...... to marry I felt uncomfortable, so I put this bracelet ...... Stored in a storage bag, never worn once...... Right now...... I...... But I don't deserve to wear it anymore. ”
Xue Yan understood as soon as she heard it, Zhou Yan actually knew that when she was able to escape the marriage, the people in her family knew and supported her silently.
"You're just ...... Reasonable. I also think...... There must be something in my Zhou family that provoked this group of brutes. But now...... Now that I am the only one left in the Zhou family, and the ancestral land has also been burned, I think about it, the rest, possible...... That's the only one, the bracelet that my grandfather asked me to keep. I watched it for months and didn't see anything. ”
Xue Yun was slightly stunned, and the hand holding the bracelet tightened: "Ah Yan, you give it to me......"
"This bracelet, apart from myself, only Su Run knows, and his senior brothers, including Luo Jingyun, who is now in the valley, don't know. I...... I have nothing to do, and Su Run has no choice. The only things I can believe and ask for are you and Xiao Luo. Help me...... Help me see, this bracelet...... Is there a mystery?"
