Chapter 257: The Chen Family in Xiangyang

Chen Ziyang is a very enthusiastic child, mainly related to family education. Although the dogma of the Chen family is pedantic, the children they teach stand up to the sky and dare to act. The family is not prosperous, and there were some famous heroes in the early years. Since Chen Tong emerged more than 20 years ago, the Chen family has no character, and has been unknown all these years.

Chen Ziyang learned swordsmanship from his father Chen Tianhe since he was a child, and he thoroughly ate the Chen family's swordsmanship at a young age. Although Li Fenglan does not know martial arts, she often sees jade and amber dancing swords, and she can see that the fairy sword and the Chen family's swordsmanship originate from the same line, but there are many differences.

The Chen family's swordsmanship is stable and old, and there are many merciful moves, and they will not make killing moves until they have to. And the fairy sword is sharp, and it fights to poke people's vital points.

On the way into the city, Li Fenglan chatted with Chen Ziyang all the way, and Chen Ziyang, who let down his guard, became very talkative.

He was very interested in his aunt and cousin, who he had never met, and last year he heard that three girls came out of Chaolan Valley, one of whom was the daughter of the sword fairy Chen Tong, and later heard that the three girls had superb swordsmanship, and they created many myths in less than a year. These all made Chen Ziyang fascinated, but unfortunately, due to the family dogma, their clansmen were not allowed to leave the Xiangyang realm, nor were they allowed to have dealings with Chaolan Valley.

After entering the city, the sun had risen and there were more pedestrians on the streets.

Li Fenglan rode on a horse and asked Chen Ziyang, "You said that your people are not allowed to leave Xiangyang, what did you do last night?"

Chen Ziyang replied in a low voice, "Go out and do chivalry."

"Chivalry?"

"Yes, you probably haven't heard of it, but recently a group of bandits came from outside Xiangyang, and they often cause trouble in the township. I ran with them all the way yesterday, but I still lost it, so I'm not coming back now."

Li Fenglan asked, "What are you going to do when you find this gang of bandits?"

"A lesson."

It's kind of silly and cute.

Looking at Li Fenglan couldn't help but smile, Chen Ziyang asked, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

"If people can change their ways after being taught a lesson, this world will be much more peaceful, how can there be so many wicked people?"

"You're right," Chen Ziyang thought deeply, "but my family's motto is not to kill people."

"Then you teach them a lesson, and they continue to cause trouble in the township, don't you mean that you have done nothing?"

Chen Ziyang slapped his thigh, and he very much agreed with Li Fenglan's words: "It's not! Some people just have blanks! Only when you die will you not harm people! I mentioned it to my father, but my uncles and uncles beat me up, saying that I was in the wrong way, not the right way, and that fighting and killing would not solve the problem at all."

Li Fenglan raised her eyebrows: "I know ...... Zhou Why did your aunt leave the family, I can't stand a family with big rules like yours, and I can't stand it."

Chen Ziyang said disdainfully: "Of course you can't stand it, outside Yangzhou City, you killed more than forty people without a word. I think sometimes I should kill people, but I can't kill as indiscriminately as you do."

Li Fenglan said helplessly: "It's not me who killed people outside Yangzhou, it's your other cousin."

Chen Ziyang became interested: "Amber?"

"Can you bring 'Sister?' Isn't your tutor very good? It's rude to call them by name."

"I have a tutor and be polite. But the house rules clearly say that you can't be polite."

Li Fenglan rolled her eyes: "Then you still let me go to your house, don't catch me and beat me when I get to your house later."

Chen Ziyang shook his head: "No, my family is just me, my father, and my mother."

"Huh?" Li Fenglan was puzzled, "Didn't you just say that you have an uncle and uncle?"

"Yes, I didn't live together, so we have long been separated. We are not a big family like the Mu family and the Yuan family, hundreds of people live together. We are small families, and we are the same as ordinary people."

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the back door of a mansion.

Chen Ziyang whispered, "You wait and follow me into the door quietly."

Li Fenglan was puzzled, "Didn't you say that you didn't live with your uncles and uncles? How

Still so careful?"

"They live next door and across the door, and they will be seen when they walk through the main entrance. Let me tell you, I have an eldest lady who has a lot of things to do, and she is very broken-mouthed, so that when she sees it, the whole family knows about it."

Chen Ziyang said and quietly pushed the door open.

It's really not a big family, it's just the yard of ordinary people's homes. The two entered the back door, and Li Fenglan heard the sound of washing clothes from the front yard. When I arrived in the front yard, I saw a middle-aged woman with a fat figure sitting by a large wooden basin washing clothes.

Hearing footsteps behind her, the woman turned her head to reveal a face that had been eroded by the years.

Seeing her son, the woman was very happy: "Yang'er is back? Where did you go last night? …… Oh, who's this girl?"

Chen Ziyang ran to the woman's side and whispered something, and the woman's expression became solemn.

Li Fenglan made a gesture and said softly, "Niece Fenglan has seen her aunt."

The middle-aged woman stood up and wiped her hands casually, but did not answer Li Fenglan's words, but looked at Chen Ziyang with a reproachful face: "Yang'er, are you crazy? What if you let your uncle know? While no one finds out now, send her away."

Then he turned his head to look at Li Fenglan: "Girl, it's not your aunt who picked you up, this is the situation at home, you will cause trouble when you come."

Chen Ziyang was anxious: "Mother! Daddy is like that! Let him see it."

Li Fenglan felt that she was in an awkward position.

At this time, they heard a cough coming from the bedroom, followed by an old voice.

"Yang'er is back? What are you two arguing about?"

Chen Ziyang heard his father's voice, ignored his mother's dissuasion, and ran quickly to the bedroom. Chen Ziyang's mother also hurriedly followed.

After a while, Chen Ziyang's father was heard shouting, "What?! Please come in yet!"

After a while, Chen Ziyang ran out of the house with an excited face and said to Li Fenglan, "Sister, come in!"

Li Fenglan had no choice but to enter the house.

The house is a little dim, the furnishings are very simple, it seems that the life of their family of three is very ordinary, not rich, nor poor.

An old man was half-lying on the bed, squinting at Li Fenglan.

This man is Chen Tianhe, he is two years younger than Chen Tong, he should be just forty years old this year, but he looks like he is in his sixties. Gray hair, wrinkles piled up.

Li Fenglan thought about it for a while, and simply kowtowed: "Uncle and aunt are above, and my niece Fenglan has kowtowed to you."

When Chen Tianhe heard Li Fenglan's voice, he was excited, and two lines of old tears flowed.

Now that he had seen someone, Chen Ziyang didn't want to say anything, so he hurriedly came over and picked up Li Fenglan: "Girl, get up quickly, get closer, your uncle can't see anyone anymore."

After speaking, he pulled Li Fenglan to the bedside. ap.

Chen Tianhe's tears couldn't stop flowing, and he stretched out his hands at Li Fenglan, Li Fenglan quickly held his hand and asked with concern: "It's inconvenient for our family to get out these years, so I came to visit me so late, I don't know that my uncle has suffered like this."

Chen Ziyang said, "My father was assassinated by gangsters two years ago and was poisoned, and in the past few years, he has been ...... That's it."

Chen Tianhe asked tremblingly, "Girl, your mother, are you okay?"

"My mother is in good health, thank you uncle for your concern."

"Hey," Chen Tianhe sighed, "It's been more than twenty years, and your grandfather has been dead for so many years, so there is really no need for the family to abide by these rules. Girl, when you go back, tell your mother to let her go home and have a look."

Although Li Fenglan was embarrassed, she still agreed: "I will say it when I have a chance."

"Girl, who is your father?"

"My father's name is Zhou Xiao."

"Zhou Xiao? What about people?"

"My father is very good, and my mother has been very happy all these years."

"That's good, that's good."

After that, the uncle and nephew talked a lot, mostly around Chen Tong's old things, and it can be seen that Chen Tianhe is very happy, and he has become energetic.

Chen Tianhe must let Li Fenglan live at home for a few days, but Li Fenglan refused. She was afraid that she would cause trouble, and it would not be good if she harmed the Chen family. It wasn't until Chen Tianhe's body was about to lose that the two ended the conversation.

Coming out of the bedroom, Chen Ziyang's mother said apologetically, "Girl, don't blame your aunt for being rude, my family really can't live for you."

Li Fenglan nodded: "Aunt, I understand. This time I came to Xiangyang, if I hadn't met Ziyang outside the city, I wouldn't have come to disturb the second elder."

"It's still early, Yang'er, take your cousin out, arrange a place for your cousin to live, remember to be careful, don't be seen by your uncle."

Chen Ziyang replied, "Mother, don't worry."

After saying that, the two siblings went out through the back door again.

Li Fenglan untied the reins from the horse's stake and said to Chen Ziyang, "Okay, you go back, it's better to stay away from me...... I've got too much trouble on me."

Chen Ziyang was puzzled: "You have so much trouble, why do you still have to identify yourself with your gangsters?"

"I just see if they believe it or not, obviously, they don't believe it."

Chen Ziyang pinched his chin and thought about it, "Maybe I'm thinking too much, eldest sister, your methods of hiding your kung fu are good. I can't see anything but you, how do you do that?"

Li Fenglan was speechless: "Tell you a secret, I will only do light martial arts, not martial arts."

"What?"

Li Fenglan turned over and said, "Don't ask, let's say goodbye...... If there is a chance in the future, wait for these things...... Forget it, let's talk about it later. Little brother, let's say goodbye."

"Wait a minute," Chen Ziyang pulled the reins, "You said you don't know martial arts?" Then I don't worry about you leaving, if something happens, my father will blame me."

"Don't worry, I'm very good at martial arts."

Chen Ziyang's head shook like a rattle: "That's not good, you are a weak woman."

Li Fenglan thought for a while, and said with a smile: "That's it, you take me around Xiangyang, I just want to buy a house to settle in, it doesn't need to be too big, anyway, I'll live alone."

"Stay?" Chen Ziyang wondered, "You haven't said what you're doing in Xiangyang."

"Well...... It's nothing, I quit the rivers and lakes, just to find a quiet place to live alone. I will live in Xiangyang for a few years, and then change to another place."

"You said you had nothing to do with Changfeng Lou, didn't you say it was fun?"

"How is that possible?"

Chen Ziyang nodded, "It's okay, at least it's safe...... Eldest sister, do you live in the house where someone has died?"

"The price is right, I must live."

"There is an old man on East Street who lives alone, he just died last month, and his nephew is going to sell the house, but others are idle and no one buys it, so the price is very low. Two into the hospital, it's quite appropriate for you to live alone."

"Let's go, take me."
