......

The road is long, the grass is cold and the moon is cold.

Chen Ze embarked on the road to the Wu Clan alone, and this way was accompanied only by a long sword.

On the way, Chen Ze suddenly recalled the leisure time at the foot of Taiqing Mountain, when Chen Ze had just been expelled from the division, there were so many friends in the small town at the foot of Taiqing Mountain, although the days were urgent, but they lived a full life, if it were not for the persecution of the Shen family, Chen Ze should still live in that town at this time.

Thinking of this, Chen Ze thought of the old woman who didn't want to leave and the two brothers who stayed to take care of the old woman, during the time of leaving, Chen Ze focused on cultivation, and things continued, so he forgot about it, Chen Ze immediately changed direction, and what he had done was now capable of being realized.

The so-called return to the heart is like an arrow, what is the difference between Chen Ze's mood when he went to visit his partner and this return to the heart, it was a two-day journey, and Chen Ze arrived in one day.

Chen Ze stepped on the familiar stone road and hurried towards the farmhouse.

"Old woman!" Chen Ze came to the gate of the farmhouse, raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door, and called softly.

After a long time, no one came to open the door.

"Crunch!"

Chenze nudged the two doors, and the doors slowly opened with a tooth-aching grinding sound.

Chen Ze looked at the overgrown weeds in this courtyard, and the dead grass that was one person tall was left unattended, and a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Chen Ze walked towards the main house, the door of the main house was also unlocked, and when he entered the house, an inch of dust on the cabinet instantly swayed, and rats were rampant in the house.

Who can see, this house must have been uninhabited for a long time, Chen Ze has a trace of luck in his heart, Chen Ze would rather believe that it is uncleaned, than believe that it is uninhabited.

On the cold kang, the futon had not yet been cleaned up, Chen Ze reached out to pick up the futon, the dust instantly rose, and Chen Ze was choked by the dust and coughed lightly.

Even if he didn't want to believe it, this fact was in front of him, Chen Ze gritted his teeth and sat on the dusty earthen kang, In this way, Chen Ze didn't close his eyes all night, and sat quietly all night.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Chenze went down to the field and walked out of this farmhouse, which had been uninhabited all year round.

"Eh, aren't you the child who brought someone into the Shen family back then?!" the neighbor's aunt couldn't help but ask when she saw Chen Ze walking out of the farmhouse.

"Are you ......" Chen Ze didn't have the slightest impression of the neighbor's aunt, so he asked.

"When I was working in the kitchen of the Shen family, I saw it when you came, the Shen family was rampant and domineering in the town, which made the people of the town dissatisfied.

"Oh!" Chen Ze heard the sound and nodded in response, wanting to walk forward.

"Young man, you came back here to trouble the Shen family?!" Seeing that Chen Ze was about to leave, the neighbor's aunt couldn't help but be curious and asked.

"I'm back looking for a friend, but this house is deserted, and I don't know where they went?!" Chen Ze shook his head and smiled bitterly, at this time, Chen Ze would rather believe that the old woman and the two brothers had something to do and did not live here, rather than believe that something happened to the old woman and the two brothers.

"You mean this?!" the neighbor's aunt asked as she raised her hand and pointed next door to her.

"Exactly!" Chen Ze nodded in response.

"There used to be an old man living in this house and two young men about your age. The neighbor's aunt nodded lightly and couldn't help but speak.

"Then do you know where they went?!" Chen Ze heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

"This ...... This ......" The neighbor's aunt's expression was tangled, and she didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

"......" Seeing his aunt like this, Chen Ze took out a piece of gold and handed it to the neighbor's aunt before he spoke, "These three people are kind to me, what is the matter, please tell me!"

"It's not about money, lad. After the neighbor's aunt was entangled for a long time, she did not reach out to pick up the ingot of gold handed by Chen Ze, but explained a word.

"Auntie, I beg you to tell me the whereabouts of the three of them!" Chen Ze said and knelt down.

"Child, you get up first!" Seeing this, the neighbor's aunt hurriedly reached out to hold Chen Ze up, and did not let Chen Ze kneel.

"Eh!" the neighbor's aunt sighed, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and then pulled Chen Ze towards her house.

Chen Ze did not resist, but let the neighbor's aunt pull him into his house.

"You sit first!" the neighbor's aunt motioned for Chen Ze to sit first, and then gave Chen Ze a cup of hot tea before sitting opposite Chen Ze.

"This is related to the Shen family, you also know that the Shen family can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the town, and the yamen can't help it, but I have nowhere to say about the disappearance of those three people, I have been suppressed in my heart for the past few years, and if you find it today, I will talk to you!" The neighbor's aunt straddled the side of the kang, rubbing her hands back and forth unconsciously, and made great determination before she spoke.

"......" Chen Ze heard this, put down the hot tea in his hand, and with a wave of his hand, he arranged an enchantment in this room before he spoke, "You can say it, others can't hear you and me talking." ”

"Hmm!" The neighbor's aunt saw that Chen Ze was so capable, so she was relieved to come and said slowly, " Just after you made a big fuss about the Shen family, I no longer made a living from the Shen family, so I bought this house with the silver I saved, that is the three people next door have lived here, and I usually don't communicate with people, but the old woman and I have a good relationship, the two of us move around from time to time, so calmly passed half a year, one night, I heard the sound of fighting next door, I wanted to go to check, was stopped by the dead old man of my house, but the sound of the noise is getting louder and louder, I was worried about the old woman, so I put on a coat, and wanted to go to check, but I never walked out of the door, I heard the screams that came from there, and then I listened to them......”

After Chen Ze looked at the neighbor's aunt and stopped, he couldn't help but ask, "What did they say?!"

"They said that Master Shen should make it cleaner. When the neighbor's aunt said this, her eyes were full of tears.

"Are you sure?!" Chen Ze couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, his brows furrowed, and he asked.

So the next day I went to check on it, but I saw that there was no one in the house, and the food on the kang had not yet been eaten. When the neighbor's aunt said this, she couldn't help but look at Chen Ze, if she had made a move back then, she might have saved the lives of the three people, for fear that Chen Ze would blame her.

"Thank you!" Chen Ze got up and saluted the neighbor's aunt, thanked him, and then placed the ingot of gold on the kang, removed the barrier, and turned to leave.

The neighbor's aunt glanced at the gold on the kang and watched Chen Ze leave.
