Chapter 63: Before Departure
It's getting dark.
Mother Chen lit the candle, then pulled down the roller shutter, and complained:
"Now business is getting worse and worse, and few people come to eat. ”
"What do you still think, I don't know how many people are unemployed now, and it would be nice to earn a little. Chen Dawei put down the dish, wiped his hands on the apron, and said.
"Today, for some reason, my eyelids are always beating and my heart is panicking. Do you think there will be a problem with those loans? If you don't get them back, it's bad. ”
Since ancient times, the Jiangnan area has been heavy on business, and the private underground finance has prospered, and the income obtained from investing in it is often much higher than the bank interest, so Chen Shouyi's family naturally invested the excess money into it.
"Then if you don't recover it another day, the interest lost is a small amount of money after all, and now I don't know when this situation will recover? The risk is a little too great!" Chen Dawei was also a little worried.
"When the daylilies are cold another day, I'll get them back tomorrow. Chen's mother immediately said that she has always been very mobile.
As she spoke, she walked to the top of the stairs and shouted, "You two are bored in the room and don't eat? ”
......
In the dark, Chen Shouyi opened his eyes, changed into a black dress and black pants, picked up the long sword on the table, and opened the door.
At this time, the door next door also opened, and Chen Xingyue walked out with red eyes.
In just a few hours, she had become much haggard.
"Brother, ...... you" She was surprised when she saw the sword in Chen Shouyi's hand.
She was amazed at his brother's decisiveness and wondered where the sword came from.
"There are already people watching outside, and they may kill people when the time comes, are you afraid?" Chen Shouyi said calmly: "As for how this sword came from, don't ask so much." ”
"Brother, I'm not afraid, they all deserve to die!" Chen Xingyue was stunned, and then said coldly.
As if remembering the tragic death of her two best friends, tears welled up in her eyes, and soon she turned around and went back to her room, taking her alloy sword as well.
......
The two walked down the stairs one after the other.
"What are you doing with the sword?" Chen Dawei saw the two of them stunned and said, "And Shouyi, when did you buy this sword?"
Chen Xingyue did not speak.
"Dad, eat first, and I'll talk to you later. Chen Shouyi squeezed out a smile.
Mother Chen was still careful, she noticed that her daughter's eyes were red and swollen, her face was gloomy, and her son was smiling reluctantly, Gu Zuoyan said it. Coupled with the sword in her hand, she suddenly felt an ominous premonition, and she said with a dark face:
"What the hell have you done to your sister, you brute, if you don't make it clear, you won't have to eat this meal!"
It's no wonder that Chen's mother is suspicious, anyone who sees the demeanor of the two of them will think about it in this way.
Where is this?
Even at this moment, Chen Shouyi was murderous in his heart, and when he heard Chen's mother scolding angrily, he couldn't help but open his mouth in astonishment.
On the other side, Chen Dawei didn't smile anymore, and asked with a serious face: "Shouyi, did you really do this kind of thing?"
"Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?" Chen Xingyue couldn't help but sneer.
"Then what are you doing with the sword?" Seeing Chen Xingyue's reaction, Chen's mother finally felt as if she had misunderstood, and suddenly said with some embarrassment
Chen Shouyi's head was full of black lines, feeling that if he didn't say this clearly, this meal was inedible, he looked at the roller shutter that had been closed, and his face became serious and said:
"Mom and Dad, something is wrong. ”
Affected by Chen Shouyi's solemn expression, Chen's mother and Chen Dawei couldn't help but chuckle when they heard it, and Chen Dawei hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
"You should know that so many people died in the neighborhood today!"
The two immediately nodded, this matter had already been in full swing nearby, how could the two not know.
Xingyue was also among them, but she was lucky to escape, and later she called the police, leaked the information, and in the afternoon, someone outside began to be watched. Chen Shouyi roughly talked about the cause and effect of the incident.
"Tonight, we must leave Dongning City!"
Mother Chen also nodded when she saw Chen Xingyue, a little panicked, no matter how shrewd and capable she was, she was also an ordinary person: "How can there be such a lawless person, can't you call the police?"
"It's useless to call the police, you can manage it for a while, but you can't manage it for a lifetime, they are all crazy. Chen Shouyi vetoed without hesitation, and then looked at Chen Dawei: "Dad, there is still enough gas in the car." ”
"Enough! I haven't driven since I refueled last time, and it's still no problem to run a few hundred kilometers. ”
Chen Dawei felt that in front of his wife and children, he couldn't seem so useless, he reluctantly calmed down and said: "You really should leave Dongning City, you have to give up, the safety of the family is more important than anything else, it's a big deal to live a hard life." ”
"But what about the people who are watching?" asked Chen's mother worriedly.
"Mom, they'll leave it to me. Chen Shouyi said calmly.
As he spoke, he instantly pulled out his long sword, only to hear a soft sound of "Zheng", like a flash of lightning, and before the two of them could see clearly, the sword had already been reinserted back into the scabbard.
The next moment, a corner of the dining table suddenly broke away from the tabletop, and under gravity, it fell straight to the ground, making a crisp sound.
There was a sudden silence all around.
Chen Xingyue's eyes widened, her face was surprised, in the afternoon, she already had a faint feeling that his brother's strength was very strong, but she didn't expect it to be so strong at all.
Even she couldn't see what he had put into the scabbard.
"Brother, you ...... You're a warrior now, aren't you?" she couldn't help but ask.
"Almost!" Chen Shouyi said.
At this kind of crisis moment, he can no longer care about hiding his strength, and the stronger he is at this time, the more his parents can feel at ease.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen's mother and Chen Dawei glanced at each other, and then looked at Chen Shouyi, feeling a little as if they didn't know their son.
"Shouyi, are you really a martial artist?" said Chen's mother in disbelief.
Meeting the excited eyes of the two, Chen Shouyi nodded.
It's not bragging, at least his physical fitness alone has far exceeded the standard of a martial artist.
Mother Chen's face was excited when she heard this, and the heart she was originally carrying was temporarily relaxed, the strength of the martial artist has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and every one of them is a big man on the top, and there are few in the entire Dongning City.
She then began to worry about other aspects: "When the time comes, you don't want to kill people impulsively." ”
"Don't worry, Mom, I'm just knocking them out. Although Chen Shouyi had already wanted to kill, in order to reassure his parents, he still said so.
Chen Dawei came back to his senses and hurriedly interrupted:
"Now is not the time to chat, eat first!"
"Yes, yes, yes, and luggage. ”
......
The atmosphere was a little depressing during the meal, and no one had much appetite to eat except for Chen Shouyi.
Chen's mother hurriedly ate a few bites, and immediately pulled Chen Dawei to pack her luggage.
It's hard to give up your family money, not to mention leaving this time, I don't know when I can come back, and I have to take a lot of things with me.
Ten minutes later, the two walked downstairs with large bags and small bags.
"I'll collect all your clothes for you, Shouyi, why do you still have a bow under your bed?"
"Mom, don't ask, I'll explain to you when the time comes. Chen Shouyi said with a headache.
Chen Xingyue looked at the long and somewhat exaggerated giant bow that her father was carrying, as well as a large number of actual combat arrows, she turned her head and looked at Chen Shouyi as if she was looking at a monster.
Brother, what have you been doing in the dark lately?
"Mom, did you take my briefcase. Chen Shouyi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked.
"Took it, stuffed it into your backpack with your clothes!"
What the?
Chen Shouyi's face was stunned, his scalp was numb for a while, he immediately put down the bowl, walked over quickly and said, "Mom, I'll take it, see if there are any things you haven't brought!"
Soon, he took the backpack and felt that it was bulging inside, apparently stuffed.
Shell Girl won't be crushed to death, will she?
He carried everyone on his back, quickly opened his backpack, and kept taking out clothes from it, and finally took out a briefcase that had been severely flattened underneath in horror.
He took a secret breath and jerked the zipper open.
Looking at the frightened figure of the Shell Girl who was still safe and sound despite being squeezed by the briefcase, he let out a sigh of relief.
"It scares the hell out of me. ”
