Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan rested temporarily in the simple wooden house, the last stop out of the Phantom Forest

+++++++++++++++++++++ Zhao Wenqiang gently put Zhao Wenbin on his back on the ground.

"Dad" Zhao Wenqiang's eyes were red, he raised his head in a choked voice, and whispered to a middle-aged man sitting in front of him.

The middle-aged man slowly stretched out his hand, and Zhao Wenqiang immediately stopped choking.

The middle-aged man stood up, walked in front of Zhao Wenbin, who was already dead, squatted down, and touched Zhao Wenbin's blue and black face.

"Qiang'er, how did Bin'er and Zheng'er die?"

Zhao Wen flattened his mouth and said: "The fifth brother was killed by a pistol, and the sixth brother was stabbed in the heart with a knife."

"Smack~" The middle-aged man stood up and slapped Zhao Wenqiang hard.

Zhao Wenqiang was motionless, and there were bursts of hot burning pain on his face, but he didn't dare to reach out and touch it.

"Where's Bin'er's gun?" The middle-aged man asked again.

Zhao Wenqiang did not answer.

"Rebel, let you take care of your two younger brothers, what the hell are you doing? Is the world of flowers on the ground so nostalgic for you? The middle-aged man was furious, and he raised his hand to hit again.

"Dad~~" The sister behind Zhao Wenqiang couldn't help it, stepped forward and knelt in front of the middle-aged man, begging for mercy, "Dad, it's not my brother's fault, it's all my fault, I shouldn't be playful, if I don't play greedily, my brother won't go to me, I won't be separated from the fifth and sixth brothers, woo woo daddy, don't blame your brother, okay?" Woowoo"

The middle-aged man turned his head and gently pulled his daughter who was crying and collapsed on the ground.

"Hey~~" The middle-aged man sighed, looked at the pair of sons who died underground, gritted his teeth and ordered, "Qiang'er, check for me, who killed Bin'er and Zheng'er, check for me, find out the real murderer!" ”

Zhao Wenqiang nodded vigorously and said: "Dad, don't worry, even if I, Zhao Wenqiang, lose my life, I will definitely find out the murderer of my younger brother, even if it is three feet into the ground, I will find out!" ”

The middle-aged man nodded: "Okay, it is worthy of being my son Zhao Yuntai, with this courage, your two younger brothers will not die unjustly!" ”

Zhao Wenqiang's eyes were full of admiration: "Dad, I have something I want you to report"

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and said, "Are you talking about the restlessness of the source of time?" ”

"Dad, you know?"

"Hmph~" The middle-aged man smiled slightly, "Of course I know that the source of time is suddenly manic, the reason is that who is the successor of the successor?" Hmph"

"Ah sneeze~~" Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his nose and turned his head to look at the phantom forest behind him.

At this point, a group of six people finally walked out of the phantom forest.

Standing outside the phantom forest and looking in, there was a gray atmosphere, but at this time, the scenery outside the phantom forest was already full of vitality.

Ma Xiaoquan squatted down, gently touched the grass that had sprouted on the ground, and said in surprise: "Could it be that we are in the phantom forest, and a long time has passed outside?" ”

At this time, a mountain man happened to pass by, and Ma Xiaoquan stood up and greeted him.

"Big brother, may I ask what day it is today?"

Shanfu was stunned for a moment, glared at Ma Xiaoquan for a long time, and said: "Little brother, today is the first day of the third month of the first year of the Apocalypse (1621 AD), what's wrong?" You don't know? ”

"The first day of March?" Not only Ma Xiaoquan was startled, but even the others behind him who heard Shanfu's words were also shocked.

Zi Shaoyan walked up and arched his hand at the mountain man: "This brother, are you sure that today is the first day of the third month?" ”

The mountain man nodded: "Yes, I am a farmer, if I don't remember the days clearly, how can I grow food?" Eh, by the way, how did you get out, why didn't I see you just now? ”

Ma Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the phantom forest behind him and said, "Big brother, there is a dead forest behind here, can't you see it?" ”

The mountainman looked back on tiptoe and shook his head: "Little brother, don't lie to me, there is a dead forest behind you?" Don't be funny, there's a dirt mountain behind it."

"Huh?" Ma Xiaoquan was curious, and looked behind him, the phantom forest was obviously there, why did this big brother Shanfu talk nonsense with his eyes open?

"Big brother, this" Ma Xiaoquan was just about to speak again, Zi Shaobo stepped forward, and he interrupted with a smile, "Since that's the case, then let's continue to walk forward, well, if we go for another three days, we should go home."

Ma Xiaoquan understood what Zi Shaobo meant, arched his hand at the mountain man, and said goodbye to the other party.

The six of them walked all the way, and after about half a day, they finally saw a small town.

Although the town is small, it is very prosperous, and the six of them walked around the town a few times, bought some new clothes, and found an inn to live in.

Li Qinghan is a woman, and as soon as she entered the inn, she immediately instructed the store to prepare heat and said that she wanted to take a bath.

Since Xiaozhu was not around, Li Qinghan had to ask Ma Xiaoquan to help her guard the gate.

Standing outside Li Qinghan's door, Ma Xiaoquan quipped: "Sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that I will guard and steal?" ”

Inside the door, Li Qinghan shook his head: "Ma Xiaoquan, I believe you are not such a person, besides, if you want to"

Ma Xiaoquan interrupted Li Qinghan's words and said, "Okay, hurry up and wash it, I still want to wash it after you finish washing~"

In fact, Ma Xiaoquan wanted to say whether he wanted to wash together, but he was afraid that if he said it, he would provoke Li Qinghan to beat him, and after thinking about it, Ma Xiaoquan still decided to give up. It's a pity that Li Qinghan really has that meaning in his heart, but Ma Xiaoquan doesn't know, hey~~ A woman's mind, a man, can never be guessed, can't guess

Early the next morning, the six of them met downstairs at the inn, had a simple breakfast, and then continued to set off.

Li Qinghan drew a covering makeup, so that to outsiders, she is a very ordinary-looking woman, and makeup does not make Li Qinghan feel at ease, he asked Ma Xiaoquan to help her buy a wide robe, and wrapped her bumpy figure in the robe, so that Li Qinghan is an out-and-out "soil girl".

Zi Shaoyan had already instructed Zi Biao to prepare the carriage, and after the group all got into the carriage, Zi Biao waved the horsewhip, and the carriage set off immediately.

Along the way, there was no more thrilling and doubting in the Phantom Forest, and three days later, the group came to a huge manor.

"We're here," Zi Shaoyan opened the curtain of the carriage and said softly.

Ma Xiaoquan helped Li Qinghan jump out of the carriage, looked up, and was immediately shocked by the momentum of the manor.

This manor should be the largest manor Ma Xiaoquan has seen since he was born, and from the outside, it seems to be not much different from the Forbidden City, the imperial palace of Beijing.

"Uncle Shaoyan, this can't be the Zi family, the Zi Family Academy, is it in this huge manor?" Ma Xiaoquan asked.

Zi Shaoyan smiled and nodded lightly.

"I'm~~" Ma Xiaoquan sighed in his heart, he thought that the Ma family was rich enough, but compared with the Zi family, they are like giants, and the Ma family is like a baby, which is simply not on the same level.

Ma Xiaoquan was a little depressed in his heart, why did he think that he was the first generation of the Ma family, he thought that the Ma family compound established in Yecheng was a super mansion level, but from the end of the Han Dynasty to the first year of the Apocalypse, what have the people of the Ma family done for more than 1,400 years? Look at Renzi's family, such a big manor, my Ma family, although his mother has a good location within the second ring road of Beijing, but in such a comparison, our Ma family is at most a "prosperous shop", which is simply unbearable.

"Hey~" Ma Xiaoquan shook his head depressedly, and said in his heart If Ma Ruiqing, the current head of the Ma family, continues to be obsessed with loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that when the Ming Dynasty falls, the Ma family will no longer exist.

"No, I can't watch the Ma family fall like this, well, I am the first head of the family, if Ma Rui clears his nest, I will show my identity, and I will regain the power of the Ma family" Ma Xiaoquan nodded lightly and muttered in his heart.
