The dilapidated house collapsed very completely, not to mention that one was an old man and the other was a child, and he couldn't survive if he was buried underneath.

The bright moon is ruthless, the cold light is indescribably bleak in the dilapidated courtyard, Xia Chen stands in front of a pile of loess, and he doesn't realize that the autumn dew is heavy!

Wind? How can there be a hint of wind! Where did that gust of wind come from? Her heart was filled with fear, could it be that she had killed them!

It took all her strength to get her stiff hand to grasp the knife at her waist, and as soon as she gritted her teeth and pulled it out of its scabbard, the blade glowing faintly in the moonlight, and an indescribable evil aura suddenly blew around her.

"Spit on! The house collapsed, and the old immortal died without ......" A drunk man kicked open the courtyard door and scolded, and walked in, stunned for a moment when he saw Xia Chen, and then stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Xia Chen smelled him and frowned: "Who are you?" ”

The drunk slapped his chest: "I don't even know me!" I am the nursing home of the rich man Zhu, and I am nicknamed Li Yidao. Saying that, he looked Xia Chen up and down a few times: "Your knife and horse are good, I will calculate Zhang Laohan's half-month interest if you bring it." ”

Xia Chen flicked his wrist and put the knife on his neck with his backhand: "Although your head is not very good, it can make him happy and happy when you use it to sacrifice Uncle Zhang!" ”

The drunk man was shocked into a cold sweat, and his drunkenness was half sober: "The young man spares his life, spares his life, the villain is also ordered to do things." ”

"Get out!" Even if you kill him, it's useless, such people are everywhere. Besides, what if she can't look past it? Even if she did everything she could, she would be able to help a few people!

The drunken man ran out of the door, and shouted viciously, "Don't go." Wait for Lao Tzu! ”

Xia Chen was suddenly furious, and just wanted to catch him and tie him up here to guard Uncle Zhang's spirit, when he suddenly heard a slight moan from the mound.

She immediately followed the voice. The child was found lying on the ground, his lower body buried in broken clods of earth and thatch from the roof. Xia Chen was pleasantly surprised, thinking that Uncle Zhang threw the child out at the last moment.

She hurriedly took away the thatch clod on his body: "Are you okay?" ”

"Feet, my feet hurt so much."

Xia Chen found that his left foot was pressed under a beam, and she carefully lifted the beam away: "Can you move if you try?" ”

"It hurts, I can't move." The child sniffed.

"I'll help you, bear with it." Xia Chen picked up his thin body. Helped him to a wooden mound and sat down, then crouched down: "Let me see your feet." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the hospital. Xia Chen raised his eyes and saw that a firelight not far away was moving freely here, thinking that the drunk man had really called someone. She is naturally not afraid of them, and wants to teach them a good lesson. But the child's injuries mattered. If you hurt your bones, if you don't heal them right away, you may end up with a disability.

Thinking of this, she picked up the child and turned over and jumped on the horse, and couldn't help but take one last glance at the mound, and said secretly in her heart: "Uncle Zhang, it is better for your couple's home to become a grave after death than to expose the corpse in the wilderness, may you rest in peace." ”

Riding her horse out of the village and heading north, through a wilderness to find that her pursuers had returned, Xia Chenle stopped his horse and carried the child to a dirt slope.

She lit a fire to check on the child's foot injury, which was fortunate to have only a slight fracture in the ankle and a little skin trauma. Feeling that he was in a terrible pain but didn't dare to say anything, Xia Chen was dressing him while talking to him to distract him.

"What's your name? How old are you? ”

"Kou Chongyang. Eight years old. ”

Xia Chen smiled slightly: "You were born on the Double Ninth Festival?" In the future, I will call you Xiao Chongyang. "Compared with what Lang and Jin, this Chongyang is already good.

Xiao Chongyang nodded vigorously: "Hmm." Then he asked, "Brother, I, will I die?" ”

Xia Chen touched his little face: "Of course you won't die, is your foot still hurting?" ”

Xiao Chongyang hurriedly shook his head: "No, it doesn't hurt." Then he raised his face: "Can my brother teach me martial arts?" ”

Xia Chen sighed: "Why do you want to learn martial arts? "She now has a body of martial arts, at most she can only protect herself, and often gets into a lot of unnecessary trouble because of her martial arts.

Xiao Chongyang tilted his head: "If you know martial arts, you won't be bullied by the wicked, and my father won't die if he wasn't injured by them." ”

Xia Chen stood up and looked up at the sky: "The strong have their own strong hands, and the warriors die by the sword!" It's not that practicing martial arts can ensure the safety of yourself and your family. ”

Xiao Chongyang looked dazed: "Then how can I protect myself and ...... Family. ”

Xia Chen turned around and touched his head: "If one day the world is really peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, there will really not be so many people starving to death and so many people being displaced." ”

Xiao Chongyang still doesn't understand: "Brother, isn't there no war now?" Isn't the world peaceful? Why? ”

Xia Chen sighed: "The court is incompetent, the traitorous ministers are in charge, and the people's voices and sufferings cannot reach the Holy Ear. What's more, the emperor only cares about pleasure at all and doesn't care about the lives of the people, but she doesn't want to say it too clearly, and she always has to leave some hope in the child's heart.

Xiao Chongyang pursed his lips: "In the future, I must tell the emperor how my father and mother died, and I must kill all the traitors." ”

"Ambitious." Xia Chen didn't take his words seriously at all, but still patted him on the shoulder encouragingly.

The sky was light, Xia Chen took Xiao Chongyang to Songqing County, there were not many people entering the city, but the soldiers guarding the city were very strict.

Xia Chen handed the customs clearance document to a soldier, and the soldier looked at her a few times after reading it, and then glanced at Xiao Chongyang: "The document says that you are a businessman, why don't you follow the caravan?" With such a child? ”

Xia Chen's heart said for the first time that she had met such a verbose person, did she do anything to him alone! Although he thought so in his heart, he still said politely on the surface: "I have already been familiar with the road to and from the Western Regions many times, and it is really a mistake to go with the caravan. As for this child, his master thought that he had injured his foot and could not work, so he sold it to me cheaply, and I knew a little about medicine, and I could cure him in a few days, wouldn't it be cost-effective? ”

The soldier said: "It's a business!" But don't you know that we have a rule that no matter who is allowed to leave their hometown at will? Where's his deed of sale? Show it to me. ”

Xia Chen didn't expect this soldier to be so serious, and she didn't expect this beforehand. After thinking for a while, he took out five taels of silver and stuffed it to the soldier: "I accidentally lost the deed, I like this kid very much if he is smart and clever, so let's make it convenient." ”

The soldier grinned as he held the silver in his hand, and then shouted, "This man wants to take the criminals out of the country and arrest them." (To be continued......)
