Chapter 56: Thinking too much
Call!
Somewhere far away, a white light flashed, and Su Chen's figure gradually emerged.
Thump!
As soon as Su Chen appeared, he fell to the ground. His injuries were too severe, and he no longer had the strength to support him to his feet.
When I opened the system, I saw that the number in the reputation column was "0", and the things in the store were all grayed out, and they couldn't be exchanged at all.
"Alas!" Su Chen sighed, this was the first time he had encountered such a dangerous situation, even if he had the talent of "life and death if he was not satisfied", but when the vitality in his body was exhausted, this talent was useless.
"I don't know what happened to Lin Ning and Han Gang?" Su Chen said with some concern. Fortunately, he dragged on for a long time, giving the two of them enough time to escape. Those people want to catch the two of them, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
Thinking of this, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Then he grabbed a handful of pills from the storage ring and stuffed it into his mouth.
I don't know how long it has been, but he feels like he's recovered a bit, but the wounds and blood all over his body still look terrifying.
"Uh...... Where is this?" Su Chen raised his head and looked around, the surroundings were very unfamiliar, and he couldn't tell where he was now.
"Drive!"
At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, and a team was approaching in this direction. More than a dozen people who looked like guards were guarding a carriage.
"Someone in front, get out of the way!"
The person at the front of this team couldn't help but scold loudly when he saw Su Chen blocking the middle of the road.
Su Chen struggled a few times, but the pill had just been swallowed, and before the medicine could be fully exerted, he fell down again.
"Be careful of deception!" Seeing Su Chen's appearance, the man frowned and said in a low voice.
"What's wrong? What's going on?"
At this time, a woman's voice suddenly sounded in the carriage.
"Ma'am, there's someone in the way ahead, and I'm getting him out. However, the guards led by ......" came to the carriage and reported inside: "But this man is covered in wounds, and I am afraid that there will be fraud, so I have called my men to be on guard." ”
"Oh?" the woman in the carriage looked no more than thirty years old, with a graceful and dignified temperament, and her identity was obviously not simple. Hearing the guard's report, she raised her eyebrows, ordered someone to lift the curtain of the carriage, and then saw Su Chen in front of her at a glance.
There is such a handsome boy in the world!
The woman's eyes couldn't help but light up, and she looked at Su Chen carefully.
"If Su Er hadn't died early, she should have been as old as him, right?" Seeing Su Chen, the woman couldn't help but think of her son who had died young.
"Go and bring him here, I have something to ask him. The woman commanded.
"Madame...... This...... I'm afraid of fraud!" the head of the guard hesitated. After all, a stranger covered in blood suddenly appeared on the road, which was a little weird and bizarre no matter how you looked at it.
"It's okay!" the woman waved her hand, "I believe that no one dares to do anything to me in the territory of Xiongzhou!"
"Obey!" The leader of the guards had no choice but to take the order, and soon brought Su Chen to the woman.
"What's your name?" the woman asked. She looked at Su Chen, and saw that Su Chen was covered in blood, and a look of unbearability flashed in her eyes.
"I ...... My name is Chen Su!" Su Chen said his pseudonym. Now he still can't figure out the situation, and he said the fake name to protect himself.
"Chen Su?" Hearing this name, the woman was stunned. The name of her deceased son is also a "Su", and now the name of the young man in front of her is also "Su", which makes her feel that there is a providence in the dark, and it is God who brought this young man to her.
"What's the matter with your injuries, and how did you get here?" the woman asked after a moment, coming back to her senses.
"I ......" Su Chen was stunned, not knowing how to answer. He had just arrived in this strange place, and he hadn't figured out how to lie yet.
It is impossible to tell the truth, not in this life!
"I was chased by the enemy and fled here desperately. Su Chen replied simply. In this world, there are a lot of vendettas, and they happen every day, Su Chen replied, there is no problem.
The woman nodded, didn't think much about it, and then instructed the head of the guard, "Take him to heal first, and then talk about everything when you get home." ”
The head of the guard had no choice but to do as the woman instructed.
......
Xiongzhou Xiangfu!
At this time, three days had passed since Su Chen came here. In the past three days, Su Chen's injuries have recovered most of his injuries, and he has gradually understood his current situation.
The place where he is now is the Xiang family in Xiongzhou, Chu State. The woman's surname is Xu, and she is the wife of Xiang Tianming, the head of the Xiang family. The Xiang family is also a small family in Xiongzhou, and it is quite powerful.
It's just that in the past three days, Su Chen felt a little strange, and he didn't know why, but Mrs. Xu was very concerned about him, and her gaze at him was very strange.
"Could it be...... What special fetishes does this Mrs. Xu have?" Su Chen was startled when he thought of this. Although this Mrs. Xu looks only thirty years old, she looks very dignified, and she has the appearance of captivating the country and the city.
But through the understanding of the past few days, Su Chen knew that Mrs. Xu was in her forties and had a sixteen or seventeen-year-old daughter.
"Raising a little white face actually raised at home?" In the past few days, Su Chen has never seen Xiang Tianming, the head of the Xiang family. Thinking of this possibility, Su Chen shuddered.
"Alas, if handsome is also a sin!" Su Chen shook his head and sighed: "Then I have already cut a thousand knives!"
"Let's slip away quickly!" Su Chen was a little scared. This kind of thing is so perverted, so scary, so exciting, think about it and have a little bit of anticipation!
Bah!
Su Chen quickly shook his head and scattered the messy thoughts in his mind. He felt that he couldn't stay here for long, and that he had to find a chance to slip away.
Mrs. Xu's life-saving grace will have a chance to repay it in the future.
Su Chen hurriedly packed up his things, but in fact, he had nothing to put away. Throwing the bloody garment into the storage ring, he prepared to slip away.
It was at this time that he heard footsteps outside. In desperation, Su Chen had no choice but to go back to the bed and lie down.
Squeak!
The door opened, Mrs. Xu walked in, and when she saw Su Chen on the bed, she smiled slightly.
"Chen Su, are you feeling better?" Coming to the bedside, Mrs. Xu reached out and gently probed Su Chen's forehead, and asked softly.
Su Chen was excited, got up, and smiled awkwardly, "Thank you Madame for your concern, I'm much better." ”
"That's good! That's good!" Mrs. Xu nodded, looking at Su Chen's eyes full of love, "When I see you, I think of my son who died young." If he hadn't died, he would have been as old as you. ”
As she spoke, her face suddenly filled with sadness.
Well?
Su Chen was stunned, it turned out that he was treating him as a son!
I treat you as a benefactor, but you treat me as your son!
However, Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was not what he thought at all, it was that he was thinking too much.
"Mrs. Xu, you don't have to be sad. Su Chen had no choice but to comfort: "If your son has a spirit in the sky, he will also be sad to see you sad like this." ”
"Yes, you're right!" Mrs. Xu wiped away her tears and nodded. Then, she looked at Su Chen and said with some expectation: "If you don't dislike it, call me a stepmother." ”
Stepmother?
Su Chen could feel the sincerity of Mrs. Xu's words when she said these words, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth and emotion in his heart. He nodded and solemnly bowed to Mrs. Xu: "Stepmother!"
"Okay, good!" Mrs. Xu was in a good mood, "I'll call you Su'er in the future." As it happens, you have the same name as my son who died young. ”
"By the way, I see that your injuries are no longer serious, and it just so happens that my husband and daughter are back today, and you are also attending the family feast together, and I will let you meet them. Mrs. Xu finally said, "By the way, I will also let you taste my craft!"
