Chapter 7: The Xiao Family, Ill-Fated

At this time, it was already evening, most of the people on the street had returned home under the dark sky, and the road was a little deserted, Nie Quan looked at the darker and darker stone road, and couldn't help beating drums in his heart.

At the end of a dark and far-reaching road, Nie Quan finally saw his grandfather's house in Su Qingtian's mouth.

This is a small mansion, the two stone lions in front of the door are mighty and domineering under the illumination of the lights, and the vermilion gate is covered with neat door nails.

Two soldiers in armor were on duty with their heads held high, each with a big knife pinned behind them, and their right hands were tightly held on the hilt of their waists, as if they were alone in charge of the momentum.

Xiao Mansion?!

Nie Quan looked at the big words on the plaque and couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth.

This little girl actually brought herself here with all kinds of turns?!

This is General Xiao's mansion, how did it become her grandfather's house?!

Although the county seat where Nie Quan is located is far away from here, they all belong to the border, so they have more or less heard the story of the Xiao Mansion in front of them.

It is said that at that time, I don't know why the old general Xiao angered the current saint, and His Majesty drove the Xiao family to this Fengcheng town to guard the border fortress in a fit of anger, and since then the Xiao family has become no such name in the capital, and its reputation and prestige have fallen all the way.

Even the side branches related to the Xiao family were also excluded, and the Xiao family was entrenched in this distant place and gradually became uncared for.

Even if those powerful people in the capital spurned the Xiao family, for the people in the borderlands, the Xiao family was already the guardian saint in their hearts.

Since General Xiao came here with a group of Xiao family sons, Biansai has not been invaded by foreign people for many years.

The people finally realized what it means to live and work in peace and contentment, and what it means to live a life full of hope.

They no longer fear a sneak attack on the walled city in the middle of the night, they no longer see the sun of the second day, and they no longer worry that there is no way out of the way to survive.

In the years of General Xiao's management, in addition to stabilizing the surrounding wars, he also worked with the government to clean up the official roads and eliminate the bandits, so that the business and trade exchanges in the border area could be carried out normally.

Many people relied on these stable pipelines to live a prosperous life, and even the trade with the surrounding small counties also increased, and the common people had the money in their hands to buy houses built by oxen, and the cultivation of farmland naturally increased.

Nie Quan's daughter-in-law's cousin is a traveling merchant, and every time she comes back from a trip to earn money, she will bring some novel things to her daughter, which makes the little girl very happy.

No matter how you look at the little girl in the car, it won't have anything to do with the Xiao family.

Just when Nie Quan thought he had made a mistake and was about to leave in the carriage, Su Qingtian in the carriage suddenly lifted the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and walked straight to the gate of the Xiao Mansion.

"Stop! General Xiao's mansion, idle people and others are far away! ”

The soldiers strode forward to stop the little girl who was only his leg high, and scolded coldly.

Nie Quan, who was following behind Su Qingtian, was frightened into a cold sweat by the momentum of the government soldiers, he was just a servant, and he couldn't compare to these veterans who fought on the battlefield.

What's more, this is a soldier brought out by General Xiao, although he retired and was on duty in the mansion, not everyone could provoke him.

Nie Quan ran a few steps and hugged Su Qingtian's small body with one hand, wanting to protect the little girl and retreat, but who knew that this girl was not afraid to speak.

"I am Xiao Gang's granddaughter, and my name is Su Qingtian."

This sentence made the three of them stunned in place, the soldiers didn't expect this little doll to be bold enough to report to their family, and Nie Quan didn't expect that she was really the granddaughter of General Xiao.

After speaking, the little baby lowered her head and kept digging in her sleeves with her little hands.

Under the gaze of six eyes, she took out an emerald jade plaque, she held Nie Quan's arm around her waist with one hand, and handed the jade plaque to the government soldiers on tiptoe.

"This is my mother's jade plate, my grandfather recognizes it."

The two government soldiers glanced at each other, and finally took the jade plate in the little girl's hand.

Under the bright lights, the soldiers clearly recognized that this jade plate was almost exactly the same as that of the sons, and reversed the row, and the words Xiao Hongyan immediately appeared.

Isn't that the real name of the eldest lady?!

The faces of the two changed slightly, and they had a very tacit understanding to leave one to watch Su Qingtian and Nie Quan, and the other grabbed the jade plate and hurriedly entered the mansion.

Nie Quan naturally saw the look of the government soldier clearly, and subconsciously looked down at the little girl in his arms.

Su Qingtian seemed to be hungry, and after handing out the jade card, he took out a piece of pastry and nibbled on it, and looked up to see Nie Quan looking at him, thinking that the man was also hungry, so he took out a new pastry from his sleeve and handed it to the man.

Nie Quan shook his head, his gaze swept over the sleeves of the little girl, she was wearing a long-sleeved cardigan, how many things were hidden in these small cuffs?

Seeing that Nie Quan didn't eat it, Su Qingtian devoured the first piece of pastry in a few bites, and then ate the second piece deliciously.

While the two of them were waiting in this quiet street, there was already chaos in the Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Nan, the youngest son of the Xiao family, struggled with the sickbed.

Three days ago, he suddenly fell into a coma with a high fever, and invited all the doctors in the city to take a look, but they were helpless, and everyone hinted with regret that the Xiao Mansion was ready to send the white-haired people to the black-haired people.

The border is remote, even if he goes to the capital to ask a famous doctor to come and see, Xiao Nan's small body is afraid that it will not last so long.

"Is there really no way?"

Xiao Yichen sat in a wheelchair and looked at his little nephew, who was scarlet and hot, and his breathing was gradually difficult.

His voice choked, "Really...... Is it true that he can't even keep the only blood and bone of the eldest brother? ”

He angrily hammered the armrest of his wheelchair, but this disabled body was unable to vent, and it was very difficult to even stand up.

Xiao Hanyue, the eldest of the Xiao family, is Xiao Nan's father and the eldest son of General Xiao, who was wounded by a poisoned arrow on the battlefield and has not woken up since he fell into a coma.

My sister-in-law has been taking care of my eldest brother all these years, and finally died of illness last year due to overwork.

Now......

Thinking of what happened to the Xiao family over the years, Xiao Yichen's face was full of grief.

Since the Xiao family was demoted and left the capital, the whole family began to have bad luck, and the family members died and were injured, and people who were in good health before said that they would fall down immediately when they fell ill.

If you're lucky, you can recover after a few days, and if you're unlucky, you'll die.

Even the family's livestock were not spared, none of them survived for three years, and the horses and other horses were kept far away in the suburbs, and they did not dare to keep them in the mansion at all.

Although Xiao Yichen has never returned to Beijing, he has also heard from the mouth of the traveling merchant that the people in the capital laugh at their Xiao family's poisonous cave, and they will be poisoned to death if they enter the evil ghost place.

But this mansion was given by the emperor, and it was not allowed to move out without a decree.

I thought that bad luck or poisonous ghosts would be enough as long as they were adults, but I didn't expect it to continue to the younger generation now.

The man's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he reached out to hold the hot palm of his little nephew, and the suppressed tears under his eyes were about to fall.

"Could it be that our Xiao family is really ......?"

Disaster Star Descending?
