Chu Huan was wondering when there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then Chu Huan vaguely heard the Xu family members and people guarding the door whispering something, and he couldn't hear it clearly for a while, so he couldn't help asking, "Uncle Xu, what happened?" ”

Old lady Xu's face was ugly, but she sighed and said with a wry smile: "I shouldn't have said more, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, but hey!" ”

At this time, the Xu family had already appeared outside the door, with an anxious look on his face, but the old lady Xu had already struggled to sit up from the bed, and said, "Take the old man over to take a look, if the old man doesn't go, he won't stop!" ”

The son of the Xu family came into the house, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said to Chu Huan and Linlang: "I'm really sorry, something happened at home that frightened the two of you!" But he still stepped forward to help Mrs. Xu put on his coat, tidy up, and then took a cane, Mrs. Xu took the crutches and said softly: "Linlang, you wait a little, the old man will come when he goes!" "I didn't say much, and I seemed to be in a hurry to go out.

Chu Huan and Linlang glanced at each other, both of them were puzzled, but they still went out with Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu didn't care about anything else at this time, the old man Longzhong, although he faltered, he still turned to a courtyard behind as soon as possible, this courtyard was not far from Mrs. Xu's yard, there was only a wall in the middle, and a stone road led from the back door of Mrs. Xu to the front of the wall, the wall opened a palace gate, and the stone path passed through the arch and spread to the front of the courtyard on the other side of the wall.

This yard doesn't seem to be much, the Xu family is a big family, the house is not small, this yard is surrounded by a wall, but it looks very cold.

Chu Huan wanted to know what was going on, and followed behind with Linlang, and the old lady Xu didn't seem to be taboo, holding a cane in one hand, and being supported by the Xu family through the arch with the other.

I saw that outside the lonely courtyard, there were already two people standing, looking at the clothes, they were not domestic servants, but the family members of the Xu family, but the courtyard door behind the two was closed, but Chu Huan had already heard it at this time, the strange cry came from this courtyard, at this time, not only did he hear the terrible roar, but also heard the sound of banging, but it seemed that someone in the courtyard was smashing things.

When they approached the gate of the courtyard, the two people guarding there saw Chu Huan coming over, hurriedly saluted, and then looked at Mrs. Xu with a helpless face, Mrs. Xu stood outside the gate of the courtyard, stopped, put her hands on crutches, and stabilized her body, but a pair of already cloudy eyes were staring at the courtyard door, but Chu Huan had already seen clearly at this time, but the gate was locked from the outside, as if she was afraid that the lock would not be tight, and she was wrapped in iron chains.

Old lady Xu finally said loudly: "Little Wuzi, Daddy is outside, are you having nightmares again?" ”

Chu Huan was surprised, secretly thinking about who this little fifth son was, Old Lady Xu said that he had nightmares, and what kind of nightmare could make a person show such a fierce and abnormal behavior.

Strange to say, as soon as Mrs. Xu's voice sounded, the movement in the courtyard disappeared immediately, and Mrs. Xu said in a deep voice: "Open the door!" ”

The son of the Xu family hurriedly said: "Father, this! ”

"Are you worried he's going to hurt me?" Old lady Xu said lightly: "He is my son, will he really kill me?" ”

Chu Huan suddenly realized, thinking that this little fifth son was the son of Old Lady Xu, and looked at Linlang, after all, the Su family and the Xu family were old acquaintances, and Linlang should have some understanding of the situation of this little fifth son.

It's just that unexpectedly, Linlang shook her head slightly, and her expression told Chu Huan that she didn't seem to know much about this person.

Chu Huan was surprised, secretly thinking that the Xu family was the number one wealthy family in Yunshan, and the Su family had dealings with the Xu family, how could even Linlang not know the situation of this little five sons?

A person next to him heard Mrs. Xu say this, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, the situation of the fifth child, you don't know it, you really want to go crazy, that is the sixth love does not admit it, last year the third child thought it was okay, after entering, although he was not killed by him, but he was also injured, and he never dared to come over again today!" ”

"Open the door!" Old lady Xu snorted coldly.

Several people were a little embarrassed, but they didn't dare to disobey, helplessly, one of them cautiously stepped forward and opened the door lock, and the Xu family took off the door lock wrapped around the door with another person, and the old lady Xu was about to step forward, and the Xu family had already said cautiously: "Father, according to the son's will, or be careful, do you want to find a few people, if the fifth child is really crazy, it is better to stop it!" ”

Old lady Xu ignored it, and stepped forward, the Xu family had no choice but to carefully push open the door, Chu Huan followed next to Old Lady Xu, and saw that the gate was slowly pushed open, and soon, he saw a person standing in the courtyard.

Seeing that the person was dressed up, Chu Huan was a little surprised, only to see that the person in the courtyard was wearing a cloak, but he was wearing a suit of armor, and he was holding a big knife in his hand, the armor was actually broken, even the knife was already rusty, at first glance, that person looked like a soldier who had just fled from defeat on the battlefield.

At this time, the man lowered his head, his hair hung down, blocking his face, holding the knife in his right hand, his horizontal arm was raised, and the blade and arm were connected in a line, it seemed that the posture was also majestic, but Chu Huan felt that this person seemed to be on the battlefield and ready to fight with the enemy.

"Little Wuzi, put down the knife!" Old lady Xu took the knife and stepped forward tremblingly, her face full of pain, "There are no demons and monsters here, no one wants to harm you, you put down the knife, this is your home, I am your father!" Before he finished speaking, the man suddenly raised his head, Chu Huan only felt a cold light, but found that the person in front of him was actually full of beards, black, obviously he hadn't shaved his beard for a long time, and his eyes were cold and terrifying, but Chu Huan was keenly aware that in the cold eyes of that person, there was fear and horror that could not be concealed.

At this time, the person's gaze swept over and fell on the old lady Xu, who approached step by step, although the Xu family and several people followed, they were all cautious and looked very nervous.

Old Lady Xu's voice was gentle, persuading the man to put down the knife, the person's expression looked very stiff, but in the gentle voice of Old Lady Xu, the cold look in his eyes eased a lot, and the arm holding the knife was slowly lowered, and the blade finally pointed to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Old Lady Xu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, Chu Huan's gaze fell on the person's armor and broadsword at this time, although the broken armor had long lost its former cold brilliance, but the general outline was still alive, and although the broadsword was rusty, the whole was still intact.

Chu Huan was just thoughtful at first, but soon, his expression became solemn, and he finally looked up at the other party, and suddenly, he saw the sharp color in the man's eyes rise again, and he knew that something was wrong, and shouted: "Be careful!" But he had already heard another strange scream from the man, and the arm that had been put down suddenly raised, but the big knife in his hand had already been slashed down by the old lady Xu in the air.

Linlang and the others all changed color suddenly, although everyone saw that the knife was no longer sharp, but even so, this knife was cut on the head of Old Lady Xu, and Old Lady Xu had no reason to live.

Old Lady Xu was stunned, he didn't seem to expect that person would really raise a knife against him.

The man's chopping knife action is obviously very skillful, from the arm to the lower chop, the action is done in one go, without the slightest drag mud and water, people who see the doorway, at a glance can see that this is the purest military knife technique, is the basic kung fu of soldiers on the battlefield, although simple, but simply neat.

It was also at this moment that a shadow deceived him, and the blade was only a few inches away from Old Lady Xu's head, but it suddenly stopped, and Linlang was horrified, and he had already found that it was Chu Huan who raised his hand and grabbed the man's wrist at the last moment, and it was precisely this grasp that the person's arm could not move, and the big knife could not fall a single bit.

The man roared angrily, his other hand had already clenched his fist, and he swung it at Chu Huan, but his fist was still a big part away from Chu Huan, Chu Huan's one hand was in the shape of a knife, and it had already cut on the back of the person's head, the person's body shook, the big knife fell out of his hand, and the whole person fell softly, Chu Huan held it with his hand, and slowly put the person to the ground.

Everything just happened in a moment, several people didn't come back to their senses, and suddenly saw that Mrs. Xu's body shook, and she was about to fall forward, but Linlang was the first to react, stepped forward, held on, and said urgently: "Uncle Xu, how are you?" ”

Only then did the others react and hurriedly stepped forward.

Old lady Xu's breath was short, and the Xu family hurriedly helped him to calm his chest, and after a while, Old Lady Xu's breath came to him, and he immediately asked, "King Chu, he?" ”

Chu Huan said: "Uncle, don't worry, he's fine, I just let him pass out temporarily, and I didn't hurt him." ”

"Iniquity!" Old Lady Xu first breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the person lying on the ground, the old man burst into tears, "What kind of sin did the old man do in his last life, and this retribution fell on the little fifth son!" ”

Chu Huan walked in front of Old Lady Xu, looked at Old Lady Xu's eyes, looked grim, and asked, "Uncle Xu, I want to ask, is this your son?" ”

Old lady Xu nodded and said: "He is my third son, and the youngest son, among the peers in the clan, ranked fifth, called Xu Shunhe, when he was born, I gave him this name, just hoping that he would be safe and secure in this life, but he is the most unsmooth and unfortunate person among many brothers!" ”

Chu Huan bowed his head slightly and asked, "Has he ever been a soldier in the northwest?" Or was he once in the Northwest? ”

Old lady Xu was stunned, and the son of the Xu family had already said: "What the king of Chu said is right, the fifth child fought in the army and went to the northwest to fight, but how did the king of Chu know?" We never mentioned it to outsiders. ”
