Chapter XVIII: Rouge Poison
After a while, there was finally a sound in the courtyard.
"Who?" It was a gentle female voice that asked.
Yan Chen put his face on the door and said shyly, "It's me." ”
"Who are you?" Obviously, the people in the courtyard heard his voice and deliberately teased.
"I'm your brother Chen."
"Which brother Chen?"
"Brother Chen, who is a thief."
Chu He felt a churning in his stomach, and hurriedly retreated to the street to blow the wind.
Even if it was a well-informed Aunt Ma, she raised her head awkwardly and looked at the full moon in the sky.
The door slowly opened, making a squeaky and screeching sound, and it was clear that the hinge of the door had not been filled with oil for a long time.
As soon as the door opened, a woman in red flashed out of it, and she threw herself into Yan Chen's arms at once.
Then the two gnawed at each other as if no one was around, even though Chu He had seen a lot of knowledge in his previous life and had been on the battlefield for a long time, he also felt a little embarrassed.
And Aunt Ma next to her was still studying the moon in the sky intently.
Presumably, Yan Chen sneaked out before and came here.
It took a long time for the two to slowly separate, and the woman realized that there was someone else, and let out a low voice.
"Yikes!"
Yan Chen smiled and said, "Oh yes, this is my godmother, and that kid over there is my brother." ”
"Oh, why didn't you tell me." The woman blushed and said angrily.
"It's not like I didn't have time."
After saying that, the two were about to continue kissing, and Chu He, who couldn't stand it on the side, coughed lightly twice, and the woman gently pushed Yan Chen away shyly.
"Quick, don't stand outside, come in."
The woman beckoned the three of them into the house, and personally stretched out her hand to carry Aunt Ma inside.
"Auntie, the wind is still a little cold this night, but don't get into the cold."
The flattered old woman was busy patting the woman's hand and said slowly: "Old woman, my body is quite strong, don't worry." But girl, don't catch a cold. ”
The woman's face turned red, and she turned her head and glanced at Yan Chen.
It turned out that the woman was now wearing a red tulle robe, and it was obvious that she had just crawled out of the bed and opened the door.
Yan Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, she has a lot of firepower, and her ass can be baked." ”
"Chen! And what about the children! As she spoke, the woman glanced at the Chu River behind her.
Chu He, who was looking around, shrugged his shoulders and said with a grin: "It doesn't matter, I don't understand." ”
The woman's face turned redder.
Yan Chen glared at Chu He and said fiercely: "Call sister-in-law!" ”
"Sister-in-law."
"Be kind."
"Sister-in-law."
The woman covered her mouth and smiled: "This child is really rare." ”
Chu He looked at the furnishings in this courtyard, there was no doubt that it was a big family, but there was not even a maid, and the master's house ran out to answer the door in the middle of the night.
Chu He had a good impression of this red-shirted woman, and from the time she opened the door to the present, she didn't ask a word before welcoming them into her home.
You must know that Chu He and Yan Chen are still wearing Sheng Guo's military uniforms, and I am afraid that there is no more suspicious person in this Qushui County than them.
The woman said that her name was Liang Yi and asked Chu He to call her sister or Sister Yi, but Yan Chen insisted on calling her sister-in-law.
This is a two-entry courtyard, the area is indeed large enough, Liang Yi arranged a room for Chu He and Aunt Ma, and after cleaning up, he and Yan Chen, who was smiling evilly, entered the inner courtyard hand in arm.
Chu He sneaked to Aunt Ma's room and began to make noise.
"Auntie, what's the situation with this Liang Yi, such a big house where a weak woman lives like this? Not afraid of haunting? You know what's going on, tell me about it. ”
Aunt Ma shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't know anything." ”
As soon as Chu He saw her like this, he knew that she must know something, so he began to grind and bubble up, vowing to come up with some gossip news.
"Xiaohe, hurry up and go back to bed, it's so late. I really don't know, and even if I did, I wouldn't be the long-tongued woman. ”
As a result, Chu He sat on the stool as soon as he sitted on his ass, "If you don't say it, I won't leave." ”
Aunt Ma saw that she really didn't have a problem with him, so she whispered: "This Liang Yi, her husband was a man in the middle of a few years ago, probably five or six years ago, and he is also the latest man we have come out here." I still remember the scene at that time, when firecrackers shook the sky, and the county magistrate personally selected this piece of land for his family in Taoye Lane and shoveled the first shovel of soil. ”
"Later, the young man left his wife here, that is, this Liang Yi, who went to the capital to be an official, and then somehow, he died inexplicably, and this one became a widow."
Chu He sat cross-legged on the stool and listened with relish, "Go on, auntie, what are the stories in front of this widow's door, you can tell me about it." ”
Aunt Ma immediately glared at Chu He, "Don't talk nonsense, I've never heard of her causing any gossip." ”
Chu He sneered and laughed, "You haven't heard of it, but you saw it with your own eyes." ”
The old woman also knew that Chu He was talking about Yan Chen, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she drove Chu He out of the house.
Chu He went back to his room, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, he felt that after he became a so-called Second Realm martial artist, not only his strength had increased, but his eyesight and hearing seemed to have improved a little.
He could faintly hear the sound of laughter coming from the inner courtyard, which made him a little upset and unable to sleep.
So Chu He simply didn't sleep, turned over and got up, observing the iron ring in his left hand, in the darkness, the dark light flickering on each of the seven patterns was more obvious, Chu He felt that they all seemed to be brighter than before, but it seemed that they were still far from waking up.
"It seems that we still have to find a way to get more yuan stones somewhere, and recruit the remaining four to take a look." Chu He thought to himself.
With nothing to do and unable to sleep, Chu He sat cross-legged and began to practice the Qi Alchemy in the army.
Time flies, Chu He cultivated all night, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already dawn, and he walked out of bed and stretched, surprised to find that he was not tired at all, nor did he feel sleepy at all.
"It seems that you can practice more at night in the future."
Chu He walked out of the house and came to the courtyard, and saw that Aunt Ma was already busy working in the stove room, while Yan Chen and Liang Yi were nowhere to be seen.
Needless to say, Chu He also knew that these two people must be making up for sleep.
Aunt Ma and Chu He drank porridge with pickles in the stove room, ate steamed buns, and talked in the courtyard for a long time, and then the old woman went back to the house to rest, and Chu He practiced the seven-step pile in the courtyard.
Yan Chen said that these seven-step piles are the essence and foundation of the Thirteen Tyrant Blades, even if he has now practiced to the ninth layer, he has to practice these seven-step piles whenever he has time, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest.
It wasn't until noon, when the sun was high, that Yan Chen and Liang Yi walked out of the inner courtyard talking and laughing.
Seeing Chu He, who was practicing the knife, Yan Chen's interest also came, and he had to go through the seven-step pile after taking the knife, but he threw the knife away after just two steps.
"No, no, my back hurts, let's eat."
Chu He picked up the knife from the ground, shook his head, and sighed secretly.
"Pink Skull, Rouge Poison."
