After the initial surprise and excitement passed, Lin Ajiao slowly calmed down, and she immediately found that the clothes Zhou Zhou Ming was wearing were tattered, and there were dried bloodstains, all kinds of signs indicated that Zhou Zhou Ming must have encountered a very big danger last night, otherwise he would not be so embarrassed.

After all, his martial arts cultivation is on par with himself, and when he encounters an ordinary little thief, he can't hurt him at all.

"Xianggong, why did your clothes become like this? There are still so many blood stains on your clothes, what the hell did you do last night? Is there any danger? Lin Ajiao asked worriedly, although Zhou Zhou Ming was now standing in front of her, she was still not sure if he was seriously injured.

At this time, the passers-by who were watching next to them all put on a good look, they didn't know the identities of Zhou Ming and Lin Ajiao, but in broad daylight, such a scene suddenly appeared on the street, for them, it was indeed a rare show.

Passers-by saw Zhou Ming and Lin Ajiao hugging each other, and they began to talk to each other, and they slowly approached the two of them under the trend of curiosity, wanting to hear what secrets the two of them were talking about.

Seeing that Lin Ajiao cared so much about herself, Zhou Zhou Ming was moved in her heart, and he was just about to tell everything he experienced last night, when he suddenly noticed the crowd around him that was gradually approaching, so he immediately changed his words and said: "Lady, there are many people here, and it is not a place to talk." In my opinion, let's go home first, and then I'll tell you everything that happened, and promise to hide it. ”

After Lin Ajiao asked that question just now, she felt a little regretful in her heart, because she also noticed those people who approached with bad intentions, she was just about to open her mouth to stop Zhou Ming from answering her question, but she didn't expect Zhou Ming's reaction to be more clever, she didn't need to remind herself, she had already found the problem, and directly diverted the topic.

Lin Ajiao smiled and nodded: "It's all up to you, let's go back now, otherwise if we delay for too long, our father and mother will definitely be in a hurry." ”

The two people looked at each other and smiled, held each other's hands, and slowly walked out of the crowd and walked into the distance amid the amazed gaze of the onlookers.

South of the city, Zhou's house, in the study.

Mrs. Zhou sat on the chair dejectedly, with several empty bowls on the table next to her.

Zhou Ruhai paced back and forth in the study, and every few steps, he glanced towards the door of the study, but the scene he saw always disappointed him.

As time passed, Zhou Ruhai's face was full of anxiety.

"It's almost dark, Ming'er went out to find her daughter-in-law, why hasn't she come back yet? Didn't this day kill me? "Since Zhou Zhou Ming disappeared once, Mrs. Zhou has been frightened, and at this time, seeing that Zhou Zhou Ming has been out for so long and still hasn't come back, the fear of last night suddenly shrouded Mrs. Zhou's heart again.

Zhou Ruhai was also very anxious in his heart, but he was a man after all, so he never showed his inner emotions, and when he saw his wife complaining, his emotions could no longer be controlled, and he said angrily to Mrs. Zhou: "You are in a hurry, am I not in a hurry?" But is it useful to be in a hurry? Our family Ming'er and daughter-in-law, Jiren have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine. ”

Mrs. Zhou was already aggrieved, and said two words of complaint, wanting to relieve the bitterness in her heart, but she was robbed by Zhou Ruhai, which made her both sad and angry, so she said angrily: "You will also rush at me!" I have married you, and after so many years, I have not lived a quiet day, and I am either frightened or afraid.

Ming'er's body and bones are easy to recover, you don't say that he should recuperate well at home, but support him to go on an errand, now it's good, the two ends of the three days are either fighting and killing, or they can't see people.

I'm old now, and he's the only one who collects debts, and if he has three longs and two shorts, I won't live. ”

After Zhou Ming went out to find Lin Ajiao, a large part of the people in the Zhou family's mansion gradually came back, originally they didn't find the young master's people, they didn't dare to come back easily, for fear of being punished by the master's family, but after noon, these people were all hungry and exhausted, and seeing that there was no hope of finding the young master, most of them gave up.

These people all knew in their hearts that if they returned empty-handed like this, they would definitely be blamed by the master's family, but they all let it go, after all, instead of looking for it all the time and being tired to death, it was better to go back and be scolded, at least their lives could be saved.

When they came back in fear, instead of scolding them, the master told them the good news that the young master had just gone home.

After hearing the good news, these subordinates were all relieved, and the hunger and exhaustion in their bodies disappeared, and none of them chose to rest, but immediately devoted themselves to their own work.

At that time, Zhou Ruhai thought that Zhou Zhou Ming would come back soon, so he was in a good mood, and he announced in public that he would give one or two pieces of silver to every person in the family as a reward.

Hearing this great news, the people naturally rejoiced, after all, most of them only had a salary of two cents a month.

After Zhou Ruhai rewarded the people, he immediately instructed the kitchen to let them carefully prepare a good banquet on the table, and when the young master and young grandmother came back, the whole family would pick up the wind and wash the dust for them.

After receiving a rich reward, the subordinates naturally became more energetic in their work, and it took less than half an hour for a sumptuous banquet to be placed in the study.

After everything was ready, Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou sat in the study, guarding a table of wine and food, patiently waiting for Zhou Ming and the two of them.

At the beginning, both of them were smiling, thinking that Zhou Zhou Ming and Lin Ajiao would go home soon, but seeing that the food was cold, and Zhou Ming and Lin Ajiao were never seen, the old couple began to be anxious.

In the process of waiting, Zhou Ruhai also planned to send a few subordinates out to find it, but he quickly dispelled his idea, after all, these subordinates in the family are stupid people who do rough work, if they really have that cleverness, they may have found Zhou Ming before.

In the endless waiting, the atmosphere in the study became more and more solemn, and Huan'er, who was standing next to Mrs. Zhou, and the other subordinates were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, because they knew in their hearts that at this time, Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou were very irritable, and if they made a slight mistake, they would definitely hit their guns and be scolded.

Zhou Ruhai understands that he is the head of the family, the backbone of the family, no matter how messy his heart is, he can't show it, because if he messes up, the family will be a mess.

During the whole waiting process, Zhou Ruhai rarely spoke, he could only pace back and forth to distract himself, and at the same time prayed vigorously in his heart, hoping that his son would come back sooner.

Mrs. Zhou was originally a beautiful lady, and she was very self-contained, although she was very anxious in the process of waiting, but when she saw that her master never said a word, she didn't dare to complain casually, until she saw that it was getting dark just now, and finally couldn't help but complain.

Zhou Ruhai also felt that his words were too heavy just now, and in front of so many subordinates, he didn't save face for his wife at all, so when Mrs. Zhou was angry at him, he never said a word.

When Mrs. Zhou saw that her master ignored her stubble, she felt more and more aggrieved in her heart, and unconsciously shed tears: "My son, don't scare your mother anymore, if you don't come back, your mother's life will be gone!" ”

Huan'er and the other subordinates, although they had been in the study all the time, they didn't dare to mix in the dispute between Zhou Ruhai and Mrs. Zhou just now, so they could only stand by and say nothing.

But at this moment, seeing Mrs. Zhou crying heartbroken, Huan'er immediately ran to her and comforted her softly: "Mother, don't cry, the young master is fine, you believe me!" Even if the young master is delayed outside and can't come back for a long time, don't you still have me? You are my mother, I will definitely be filial to you for the young master! ”

The other people had just come back from outside, and they didn't know that Mrs. Zhou recognized her daughter just now, so when they heard Huan'er call Mrs. Zhou, they were all taken aback, and asked each other with their eyes, what the hell is going on?

When Zhou Ruhai heard these words, he was also stunned, he walked to Mrs. Zhou's side, and asked patiently, "Madam, what's going on?" Why did Huan'er call you mother? Since ancient times, the dignity and humility have been orderly, although my Zhou family is in the middle of the road, but these rules cannot be messed up. ”

Huan'er was patronizing and persuading Mrs. Zhou just now, but she didn't pay attention for a while, and told her about recognizing her daughter.

At this time, he saw that other subordinates had cast ill-intentioned glances at him, and Master Zhou asked Mrs. Zhou for his guilt with a serious face, which frightened Huan'er.

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Ruhai: "The slave should die, the slave just now confused his dignity and humility in order to relieve the old lady's heart, please forgive the master." ”

Mrs. Zhou was already angry with Zhou Ruhai in her heart, and when she saw him scaring Huan'er like this, she immediately said unrelentingly: "What humility? What rules? I'm going to recognize Huan'er as my daughter, you can't control it!

My only son has been uncertain by you, I don't recognize a daughter, who will I count on in the future? Counting on you? You wish you had me off sooner! ”

"Alas, I know you have anger in your heart, but this must not be done." Zhou Ruhai sighed and said helplessly.

When Zhou Zhou Ming brought Chunnier back before, he asked Chunni to recognize them as a godfather and godmother, although Mrs. Zhou had no opinion in her heart at that time, but Zhou Ruhai was a hundred unwilling, after all, this little girl came from an unknown place and came from a humble background.

But for the sake of Zhou Ming's face, in the end, Zhou Ruhai did not oppose fiercely, but pretended to be very happy on the surface.

But this is a different story now.
