watched Dong Xiaowan go out, and then gently closed the door. Please keep in mind /.. The old man sighed, stepped forward, and sat on the stool opposite Chu Tianzhao. For a moment, Chu Tianzhao felt that the old man's expression was very sad, he was a little confused, just now he still looked like a kind smile, could it be that there was something unspeakable?

Without waiting for Chu Tianzhao to ask, the old man began to complain in a dumb voice. His face was full of wrinkles, and now his brows were frowned, and he looked even older, only to hear him tremble and say: "Chu Daxia, Xiao Wan told the old man everything about you, and the old man knows that you are a good person, so there are some things I want to entrust to you, I hope you can promise me." As he spoke, he got up from the stool, and immediately knelt down, regardless of whether the ground was muddy or not.

Chu Tianzhao immediately panicked when he saw it, hurriedly blocked him, and said: "Old man, it's really killing the juniors, if you have anything to say, I will definitely do it, don't do this big gift, I can't afford it." ”

The old man sat down again, dipped the tears oozing from the corners of his eyes, and said: "Chu Daxia, since Xiaowan came to me, I treat her as my own daughter, there is nothing to eat and drink at home, but I never let her starve." Xiaowan, this child is also sensible, help me do this and that, and our father and daughter are also a dependent together. But you have also seen that I am old and frail, and I can't live long, if Xiao Wan continues to stay here, she can only take care of me, a sick old man, and it will drag this child down, I don't want to see this child work for me, and besides, after a hundred years, how should she live as a female doll? I also have no relatives here, a lonely old man, and I don't even have someone to trust. I see that Chu Daxia is benevolent and righteous, and you are familiar with Xiao Wan in the old days, so I want to beg you to take Xiao Wan away, what do you think? ”

"Uh......" Chu Tianzhao is in trouble, if it is on weekdays, it is also a good thing to bring a little girl back to Yang Fei'er as a companion, but now that he still has important things to do, he can't even take care of himself, how can he still take a little girl on the road, for a while he thought about how to talk to this old man.

The old man saw Chu Tianzhao's hesitant appearance and knew that he was embarrassed, but a hideous face floated in his mind, that face was so distorted and hateful, he unconsciously stepped forward and grabbed Chu Tianzhao's sleeve, and said, "Chu Daxia, for the sake of the old age, you can help Xiao Wan." ”

Chu Tianzhao said in embarrassment: "Old man, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's really that I have something important to do and need to do it." Otherwise, you can see that it's okay, I'll take Xiaowan to Beijing when I come back after running errands, I have friends in the capital, and Xiaowan can live with a few of my friends in the future. But now, I really can't take Xiaowan on the road. ”

The old man stood up in disappointment and muttered, "Hey, I know this will be the result, and I also blame me and Xiaowan for having a hard life, a hard life......"

The old man walked towards the door while chattering, and then Xiao Wan pushed the door in. He smiled and said, "The medicine has been decocted, it is estimated that it will be almost half an hour, what are you and Brother Chu talking about?" ”

The old man pretended to be happy and said, "It's just casual chat, Xiao Wan, you serve your eldest brother Chu to eat, and your father-in-law goes out to buy something and take care of your home." ”

Xiao Wan responded sweetly, and then helped the old man who was a little rickety to go out, and then happily ran to Chu Tianzhao, and said happily: "Brother Chu, I have already decocted the medicine, wait until you take the medicine and sleep well, your body and bones will definitely get better." ”

Chu Tianzhao looked at this innocent little girl, remembered what the old man said just now, and secretly swore in his heart: If things go well, find Li Yong and they to save Fei'er and Yuanyuan, and if they can save Fei'er, then take Xiaowan to Qijianmen with them, and never ask about the world in the future.

Dong Xiaowan saw Chu Tianzhao's contemplative appearance, blinked his big eyes, and asked tentatively, "Brother Chu, what are you thinking?" Do you miss Sister Fei'er? I miss her too. ”

Chu Tianzhao suddenly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about them, hey, by the way, Xiaowan, when Brother Chu finishes his work and finishes the matter, I will take you to see your sister Fei'er, what do you say?" ”

"Really? Is it true? Great, Brother Chu, you're amazing. Dong Xiaowan was so excited that she was about to jump up, her cheering appearance infected Chu Tianzhao, and his mood couldn't help but brighten.

At this time, Dong Xiaowan suddenly stopped and said, "Then can I take my father-in-law with me?" My father-in-law is helpless here, and if I leave and no one takes care of him, what will he do alone? ”

Chu Tianzhao nodded: "Let's see when the time comes, it will definitely make you and your stepfather have a proper placement." Dong Xiaowan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "I knew that Brother Chu and Sister Fei'er were the best people in the world." My dad said I'd go to you when I'm really desperate, and it seems that he is not wrong at all, hehe. ”

Dong Xiaowan accompanied Chu Tianzhao out to the yard and walked slowly, the yard is not big, very shabby, there is a huge iron pot on the east side, Xiaowan pointed to the pot and said: "That is the pot that my father-in-law made steamed buns, and the steamed buns made are fragrant, and the neighbors on the nearby streets like to eat them, but the year is not good now, and I can't make a lot of money from that, so the life at home is still so unimpressive......"

Chu Tianzhao nodded thoughtfully. In fact, he saw everything here in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and he counted the silver in his baggage for a long time, although it was not a lot, and he did not know how far he would go, if it was given to their father and daughter, then his life would be sad. However, Dong Xiaowan and her stepfather can also be regarded as his life-saving benefactors, so such a little silver should be given, and it is a big deal that he will be nervous in the future. Thinking of this, he slowly walked back into the house.

At this time, the gate was pounced open, Chu Tianzhao's heart tightened, and he turned his head to see that it was Dong Xiaowan's father-in-law lying in the courtyard. Chu Tianzhao hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man and asked, "Old man, what's wrong with you?" It's uncomfortable there, huh? ”

The old man opened his eyes, looked at Chu Tianzhao, panted vigorously and pointed at his chest, Chu Tianzhao looked at the old man's clothes, as if they had been torn by someone, and there was soil on them. He held the old man and felt his heartbeat very strongly, and when he touched his pulse, it was very weak. Quickly helped him up, went to the back room and put him on the bed. Xiao Wan ran in with a scream and asked nervously, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? What happened? ”

Chu Tianzhao said: "You go and get some water and come back." Xiao Wan wiped the tears on her face and hurriedly ran to serve the water. Chu Tianzhao fed the old man a sip of water, and the old man slowly regained his senses and calmed down. After a while, the old man opened his mouth and called softly: "Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan, come here." Xiao Wan sat beside the old man obediently, and then reached out to the old man's head, wiped his sweat, and asked, "Father-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Wasn't it okay when you first went out? What happened? ”

The old man said: "You don't care about me, you go and beg your big brother Chu, beg him to take you away, leave now, don't stay here anymore." Dong Xiaowan's face turned red, and she cried and asked, "Why?" Father-in-law, don't you want Xiaowan in your old man? What did Xiao Wan do wrong? You scold me, beat me, but don't drive me away, father-in-law, woo woo woo ....."

The old man lovingly stroked Dong Xiaowan's hair, and said in a trembling voice: "Child, it's not that your father-in-law doesn't want you, it's really that your father-in-law can't protect you, and your father-in-law is old, and he is almost the one who has entered the coffin, so what else is there to be afraid of." But those ruffians on the street, they have been coveting you for a long time, and today I was stopped and beaten by that Lu Erhu when I went to the street, and he clearly told me that he wanted you to be his daughter-in-law. My father-in-law can't let him hurt you with this old life, but my father-in-law really can't help it, I'm old and sick, and I don't have half a relative, what should you do if you say I'm dead? Be good, don't cry, go and beg you, Brother Chu, let him take you out of here. ”

Dong Xiaowan didn't speak, just buried her head and cried.

Chu Tianzhao was about to inquire carefully, but he heard a bang in the courtyard, as if something heavy had landed on the ground, making a heavy sound, Chu Tianzhao jumped up, and jumped out of the window at once, and a group of imposing people poured in outside the door. The leader was a person with a pimple-covered face and a greasy face.

These people stood in the courtyard and shouted, and when they saw Chu Tianzhao jumping out, they startled everyone. The one at the head shouted, "Hey, who are you?" How did you hide in Old Man Chen's house? "On weekdays, they came to Chen Laohan to eat and rob, and they didn't see anyone else in his family at all, so they were a little surprised that a man would come out rashly, so they didn't dare to do it for a while.

Chu Tianzhao snorted coldly and didn't answer, just looked at these fierce bullies coldly. Although his body is not unsafe, he has improved a lot after the past few days of cultivation, and he is not at all inferior to those market hooligans in terms of momentum.

At this time, the man saw that Chu Tianzhao did not react, and he didn't seem to be the kind of person who could knock them down at once, and shouted loudly: "This person may be a thief, everyone come forward to catch him and send him to the official mansion to receive the bounty, go on." ”

After receiving the boss's instructions, everyone immediately rushed up, intending to smash Chu Tianzhao. Chu Tianzhao stood quietly, and when everyone rushed to him, he suddenly made a move, and beat seven or eight people down in three or two strokes, and the remaining five or six people immediately hid behind when they saw this, shouting while hiding: "Kill this thief and catch him." ”

Chu Tianzhao had the heart to shock them, trampled one of the ruffians under his feet, and said coldly: "Which of you dares to come over again?" ”

Several people were forced by his momentum and were too frightened to step forward. The ruffian who was trampled under his feet cried out: "Hero, spare my life, I don't dare anymore, please let me go?" ”

Chu Tianzhao sneered: "Let you go? Then why didn't you think about letting go of the old man and the little girl before? ”

Seeing that Chu Tianzhao didn't immediately let go of himself, the ruffian hurriedly bumped into Tianqu and said, "Boss, save me!" ”

The leader yelled: "Shut up, you people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, look at me." Then the wisps of his sleeves stepped forward, raised his legs and kicked towards Chu Tianzhao. Chu Tianzhao saw that this person only knew a little bit of kung fu, that is, with that horizontal meat, Chu Tianzhao flashed lightly, grabbed his flying feet, only pushed, flicked, and the person who came fell heavily on the ground, falling a dog and eating.

At this time, Dong Xiaowan shouted: "Good fight, Brother Chu, on weekdays, it is this thief Lu Erhu who bullies me and my father-in-law, you beat him a few more times to make us angry." ”

The second tiger fell enough to choke, and he couldn't get back of breath for a long time. His brothers slapped and beat him for a long time before he snorted and moaned, "Damn, I've fallen to death." You idiots, why don't you hurry up and help Lao Tzu go? Damn" Dong Xiaowan said hurriedly: "You can't let them go, if you let them go, they will come to find trouble." ”

Chu Tianzhao shouted: "I warn you, if you dare to bully Xiao Wan and their father and daughter again, I will not spare you." Lu Erhu snorted: "The hero doesn't suffer the loss in front of him, even if my Lu Erhu is unlucky to meet the plague god, I will compensate you today, I'm sorry." ”

Chu Tianzhao didn't want to make more trouble, he watched Lu Erhu limp away with the support of his brother, looked back at Dong Xiaowan, her eyes were full of tears, saw him turn around, waited for her fiercely, and entered the house. Chu Tianzhao smiled bitterly and shook his head, and also went in.

Chen Laohan was still lying on the bed, and when he saw Chu Tianzhao, he said weakly: "Thank you Chu Daxia, hey, Chu Daxia, you are a big hero, a good person, you saved me and Xiaowan once." ”

Chu Tianzhao hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't say that, you saved my life, why do you mind if I do a little thing for you?" It's just that Lu Erhu is too domineering, right? Is there no one in the government to take care of them? ”

Old man Chen trembled for a long time, and he couldn't speak. Dong Xiaowan said angrily on the side: "That bully is the brother-in-law of Master Fu Ya first, but he is arrogant, and almost everyone in the entire county has been bullied by him." I have been bullied by him countless times on weekdays to sell flatbread on the street, and every time he sees me, he comes to pinch my face and asks me to do his thing, I, I'm almost angry. Recent...... Recently, they also wanted to force me to give Xiao Wan to him as a daughter-in-law! Ay...... It's all because I didn't...... I'm really sorry for you, Xiao Wan. Father-in-law can't stand you! ”

Dong Xiaowan saw his father-in-law crying, and also cried: "Father-in-law, you are my good father-in-law." If it weren't for you, Xiao Wan would have starved to death on the streets. Woohoo......"

Chen Laohan was speechless, just looked at Chu Tianzhao sadly. Chu Tianzhao said: "Then I'll go to your county master tomorrow and talk to him, let him take care of his brother-in-law, don't worry, rest early, I'll figure out a way to do this tomorrow." ”

Several people were silent for a while, and after a long time, Dong Xiaowan said, "I'll cook." "I went out in a puff of smoke. Chu Tianzhao comforted Chen Laohan and said, "It's okay, uncle, you can rest assured, rest first." ”

The old man was just about to lie down, but he was not very relieved in his heart, so he reluctantly stood up and said: "I know that Chu Zhuangshi is a capable person, but if you beat them today, I'm afraid they won't give up." ”

Chu Tianzhao smiled and said: "Uncle, don't worry, everything is with me, as long as I tell your county officials, I promise that they will not bully you again in the future." ”

Seeing Chu Tianzhao swearing so much, the old man was also a little relieved in his heart, and narrowed his eyes tremblingly.

Chu Tianzhao thought that he was a person next to the emperor, and when he arrived at the county office tomorrow, he would definitely be scared when he saw those county orders casually, and he paid attention to it in his heart, so he ate and slept with confidence.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a noise from all sides, and saw a fire in a daze, he turned over and found that the yard was already full of fire, he was taken aback, and hurriedly went to the next room to find Dong Xiaowan and Chen Laohan.

Smoke billowed in the room, and he couldn't help but cry, and then he saw that the beams of the room had fallen, and it was Chen Laohan who was pressing underneath. He hurriedly walked to another room, Dong Xiaowan was wearing pajamas, still asleep in a daze. Chu Tianzhao picked her up, wrapped her in the quilt, and ran out of the house with all his might.

Outside the courtyard, there was a burst of lewd laughter: "Wowhaha, big brother, that old thing should be damned, right?" And the stunned young man who came out to beat your eldest brother today is estimated to have turned to ashes, right? ”

There is also a humanitarian: "It's a pity that there is such a flower, hey, it would be nice if the eldest brother had solved him earlier, haha, did you say it, eldest brother?" ”

"It's good, it's just a pity for that cute man." The other voice was unusually disgusting.

"Yes, that lovely person is also a little beauty, if he hadn't been burned to death, let our brothers have a good time, what a happy thing it would be. Hahaha......"

"Hmph...... I'm going to let everyone know what will happen to the person who hits me! The boss said viciously.

"That's it, the boss is the boss, don't say it's these broken houses, even if it's a big house, it's going to burn his mother's essence!"

At this time, Chu Tianzhao's anger came from his heart, and the resentment that he had not had a place to vent for a long time suddenly rushed to his heart, he pulled out his sword and rushed to the courtyard, seeing those people laughing outside, and they were all taken aback when they saw him come out, and they all fled in all directions. Chu Tianzhao didn't say a word, and rushed up to Lu Erhu is sword and pierced his chest. Someone saw the blood splattering and shouted, "Kill someone, come quickly, kill someone." Chu Tianzhao didn't stop doing anything, poked him into a hole, and was about to chase the person who escaped, when he only heard Dong Xiaowan on his shoulder say: "Brother Chu, well done." ”

Chu Tianzhao's heart shook suddenly, this voice reminded him of Yang Fei'er, in the past, Yang Fei'er would keep saying to him: "Brother Chu, well done." Every time he heard those words, his heart was filled with strength. He was stunned, the man ran away with a sword, Chu Tianzhao held the sword, and suddenly didn't know what to do.

At this time, Dong Xiaowan slid down from his back and asked, "Where is my father-in-law?" Did he come out of the old man's house? She said that she looked around eagerly, but unfortunately she did not see any trace of her stepfather.

Chu Tianzhao didn't know how to answer her, so he had to stand silently, Dong Xiaowan saw that Chu Tianzhao was silent, and he already understood seven or eight points. She is a sensible and sensible child, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said: "Brother Chu, you don't have to say anything, let me leave this place with you, no matter how late the officers and soldiers will chase after you, if you kill someone, they will not let you go." ”

Up to now, Chu Tianzhao can't shirk the blame, Chen Laohan is dead, and Xiao Wan will definitely be bullied here. Chu Tianzhao gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's leave quickly." ”

A noisy voice was heard in the distance: "Fight the fire!" Fight the fire! ”

All of a sudden, the neighbors got up and rushed to put out the fire with buckets and something.

Dong Xiaowan looked at the hut that was already in the midst of the fire, and her heart was full of miscellaneous smells - after all, this was the place where she lived, and she finally had a home, but she didn't expect to live a wandering life from now on.

Chu Tianzhao looked at the sad Xiao Wan, thinking that if she continued to look like this, she would only be more sad, so he took her hand and said, "Let's go." ”

Dong Xiaowan was also obedient, so she looked at the old house again and left with Chu Tianzhao.

I had just walked a short distance and heard someone shouting "arrest" or something behind me.

When Chu Tianzhao heard this, didn't he want to arrest me? If it was him, it wouldn't take much time to throw them far away with his light skills, but now not only is he just cold, but also with Xiao Wan, if he runs like this, even if he can afford it, how can Xiao Wan be a little girl?

Dong Xiaowan suddenly said: "Brother Chu, there is a horse in the big Niu family in front. ”

Chu Tianzhao's eyes lit up and said, "Take me quickly." ”

The two of them hurried to the big cow's house, and saw the horse dozing in the stable.

Dong Xiaowan saw that Chu Tianzhao didn't mean to lead the horse immediately, and hurriedly said: "Even if we borrow him, let's have a chance to return him in the future." ”

Chu Tianzhao glanced at Dong Xiaowan with appreciation, and said in his heart: This little girl is as careful as dust, as if she can see through my thoughts. He then said, "That's all there is to it." ”

Chu Tianzhao jumped into the stable, cut the rope with his sword, patted the horse's neck and said, "Brother, it's up to you tonight, if you have the opportunity, you will meet your master again." ”

The horse seemed to understand him, and whined a few times.

Seeing this, Chu Tianzhao jumped on the horse, hurriedly pulled Dong Xiaowan up, and the two got on the horse together and headed towards the vast night.
