Chapter 2 Changes
Su Chen touched the small token in his hand, it was neither gold nor iron, but it was pitch black and hard.
Thinking of the weird dream just now, in the thin palm, it seems to be pinching this brand, is this it?
He guessed in his heart that it might also be related to the spiritual position offered in the ancestral hall, after all, he vaguely remembered a sentence in his dream: "Recite your incense ......"
Could this 'wish' token be exchanged for a merit strip?
Su Chen played with it over and over again, but he didn't feel that it had any effect, just like an ordinary iron plate engraved with his name, he was thinking about trying water and fire and other methods, but it didn't work, and the respectful voice in the courtyard shouted:
"Little Hou Ye, it's time to go and eat."
The little guy outside accurately reported the time, Su Chen broke off his thoughts, put the token in his sleeve, and opened the door and went out.
When I arrived at the ground, I didn't see the eldest brother and the second brother, but the two brothers and sisters-in-law were there, and when I saw this uncle, the two beautiful women were slightly blessed, and the second sister-in-law moved a lotus step inside, and subconsciously opened a little distance.
Su Chen didn't care about the second sister-in-law's actions, and went to invite his parents to come over for dinner after confessing, and before he arrived at the door of the room, he could vaguely hear his father Su Congfang's voice.
"I've already told him to follow his two brothers to do something."
"It's good to follow Su Yong and Su Lie, but will Chen'er not do these things well, which makes people laugh." It was a soft woman's voice.
"Then I have to go, I'm idle all day long, and I also offer the spirit card of unknown origin, and I actually said that it was his ancestors and ancestors, and he was angry with me, why did he give birth to such a son."
"No matter how stubborn he is, it's your son, we didn't teach him well, how can we blame him."
The annoying sound of cicadas hissed one after another, and in the slightly open window, Su Congfang sat down silently.
"I only hope that he can stand alone in the future, and it may be a little uneven recently."
"Good life said, Chen'er will listen......"
In the brilliant skylight, the words behind him could not be heard very clearly, Su Chen pursed his lips and left silently, walked around the atrium, and then returned to the hall, the table was full of dishes, fragrant cakes of osmanthus flowers, crispy cakes, and porcelain bowls for porridge were swirling with heat.
Soon, the eldest brother Su Yong and the second brother Su Lie accompanied their father over, and then sat next to their respective wives, the former was covered with a gold embroidered robe on a white background, and a blue single coat on the inside, and was talking softly with his father Su Congfang, and when he saw Su Chen coming back, he nodded with a smile; The second brother wore a black robe, with a purple placket, a brown beaded belt around his waist, and a sleeve to pick up vegetables for his wife next to him.
"Father, eldest brother, second brother!" Su Chen saluted in turn, and saw that the place next to his father was empty, "Why didn't you see your mother?" ”
When Su Congfang saw the youngest son who came in, her face turned upright, and she asked him to sit aside, "Your mother is a little sick, breakfast has been sent to the room by Su Huan, you sit next to your eldest brother, I have something important to tell you." ”
Su Huan is Su Chen's sister-in-law.
"Yes!"
Su Chen walked around to the side, smiled at the second sister-in-law who glanced at her, lifted her robe and sat down, the eldest brother Su Yong talked with Su Lie for a few words, and turned his gaze away with the porridge bowl, "This afternoon, I want to go outside to give porridge and grain to help the victims, you will be with your brother." ”
"Second brother together?"
"He's got other things to do, and his father will come over later. You rarely go out of the city, some scenes have not been experienced, the recent drought is serious, the people of the two counties can not survive, many of them come to Ding'an City, now thousands of people have gathered outside the city, yesterday I and your second brother ran in the city, gathered some rich households. Su Yong took the chopsticks and tapped the edge of the bowl.
Su Chen didn't want to follow, the eldest brother was the son of the world, he should do all this, and the matter of the spirit card was still pressed in his heart.
"You are the heir of the Su family, you can't do nothing." Su Yong probably saw his thoughts, and patted the back of Su Chen's hand: "It's okay, I'm protecting you for my brother." That's it, I'll go out with my brother first, and we'll go out of the city together after noon. ”
Su Congfang put down the dishes and chopsticks, and tapped his fingertips on the table: "Follow your eldest brother and second brother to learn more, and when this matter is over, I will invite Mr. Shifang of Longteng Pavilion University to come over and get you the table characters for my father." ”
"Okay."
No, his father made a final decision, Su Chen couldn't slip away if he wanted to, listened to his father and brother chatting about the drought outside the city, hastily ate breakfast, and then went over to say goodbye to his mother.
The woman should have suffered from the wind and cold, coughed a little, and pulled Su Chen by the bedside.
"Follow your eldest brother out and listen to him more, you know?"
"Don't worry, mother."
Su Chen supported his chin next to him and listened to his mother's nagging, the eldest brother is indeed the material for the world, and he is simply familiar with various occasions, and he will be a master in the future, and he should always continue to be a rich man.
Just after noon, Su Chen followed his brother to the outside of the city.
At this time, the situation of the victims was not particularly serious, and they were not closed, but only intensified the investigation, and the figures in the suburbs, dragging their families and acquaintances, gathered into small groups, and countless low conversations were intertwined, showing a buzzing noise.
Su Chen lifted the curtain, forgot to talk to his brother on the side, and looked at the numb, panicked faces that crossed his eyes with some distraction.
Whether it is fighting for fame or saving people sincerely, as long as the victims can have a bite to eat and not starve to death, he will give his full support.
When they arrived at the place of the soup kitchen, the government had already prepared everything, and it was half a mile away from the sheds of more than a dozen large households, and under the scorching sun, the numb victims gathered together, and after hearing the movement, they slowly stood up, as if they smelled the fragrance of gruel, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
I don't know who shouted: "The government is giving porridge!" ”
"Everyone's robbing!"
The dense figure ran towards the porridge shed like crazy, the crowd surged and pushed each other, some fell, some scolded angrily, and the old woman who fell hugged the stepped on arm and cried loudly.
"Ouch...... It hurts to step on me! ”
"Mother!!"
"Don't squeeze!"
The guards of the porridge shacks and the officials of the government stopped in front with swords and long sticks, and from time to time knocked on the people who came to them, shouting: "Line up, everyone has it, come one by one!" ”
Many disaster victims, beggars inside and outside the city held tattered and dirty old bowls, one by one with vegetables on their faces, through the sight of the nursing home, filled a large spoonful of gruel, and received a piece of steamed buns that were not too big or small.
Su Chen is also helping to do things, compared to his brother leading people around, he prefers to hold a spoon to serve porridge to the victims one by one, which naturally provokes the guard thirteen to complain, feeling that the dignified little marquis actually does people's things, and he is also handing out steamed buns next to him.
After a while, Su Yong brought a team of soldiers over, and he asked an errand officer to take over Su Chen's work, "Father is coming over soon, don't do these chores yet." ”
"When?"
Su Chen took the handkerchief handed by the thirteenth and wiped his hands, and was saying this, in the afterglow, there was a commotion at the city gate, the city gate was guarded, the soldiers refused the horses and the fence was removed, two teams of twenty cavalry opened the way in front, and more than 100 armor soldiers guarded a carriage with iron spears and spears.
After that, he stopped a little in front of the soup kitchen, Su Congfang was carried down by the coachman, and he saw the two people on the opposite side striding over.
"How?"
Su Congfang's words seemed to be asking Su Chen, and as if he was asking Su Yong, the latter hurriedly replied: "Back to my father, everything is going well, and there is no trouble." ”
Su Chen looked at the eldest brother and his father's one-on-one answer, and pouted slightly, although it was a father and son, but there was no caring tone between relatives, from his crossing, what he saw was that this eldest brother, as the son of the world, has always been cultivated as the next marquis of the Su family, it seems that the power is very heavy, but in fact, it is rare to experience the kind of familiarity between relatives.
"Your eldest brother praised you just now, if you do it like you do today, I don't know how much worry you will save for your father." After talking to her eldest son, Su Congfang turned around, and her tone couldn't tell whether it was stern or relieved.
Su Chen had that hanging-like look again: "Got it, Dad." ”
In my heart, I hurriedly drove him back to the house.
But Su Congfang asked him to follow, looked around for a while, walked to the porridge shed on a whim, drove away an errand officer, rolled up his sleeves and personally launched steamed buns for the victims. Su Chen, who was called, had to cooperate and picked up the big spoon again.
At this time, the soup kitchen was still overcrowded, and after the people who had received the steamed buns and gruel had eaten, they wiped the bottom of the bowl and lined up again, the temperature was hot, and the soldiers in armor looked at the crowd with spears, and the sound of shouting, crying, and whispering turned into hypnotic magic sounds in their ears.
Suddenly, the queue of long queues suddenly set off a commotion, and then a terrible scream spread, and in a moment, more people screamed.
"Ouch, I've killed someone!"
The sleepy soldier woke up suddenly, and looked at the officers and nurses who maintained order, and then a few people went over to see what was going on.
On the side of the soup kitchen, there were still seven or eight people waiting, Su Chen scooped a spoonful of gruel and shouted, "Next." He looked at the victims receiving porridge in front of him, and suddenly felt something in his sleeve burn him.
Hurriedly put down the spoon to touch the cuffs, and the victim who had not yet received the porridge turned around and walked towards the steamed bun, and several people behind the person bypassed Su Chen one after another.
"You haven't received the porridge yet!"
Su Chen was surprised for a moment, and then, in his sight, a cold light reflected in his eyes, and the first victim who walked to the steamer pulled out a dagger from his sleeve.
A nearby armorer stared wide-eyed and shouted, "There are assassins!" ”
The next moment when the sound resounded, the armor soldier swooped out with a spear, and the victim who took out the dagger jumped onto the long table, and threw it in the air in the steamer, and the steamed bun was poured into the middle, and collided with the armor soldier, the dagger slashed through the soldier's neck, blood splashed, and the flying spear was nailed to the wooden pillar.
In an instant, the second victim flew towards the stunned Su Congfang.
Burst!
Blood sprayed, and the assassin stabbed the dagger into Su Congfang's abdomen.
"Daddy!"
Su Chen reacted, picked up the big spoon and threw it, hitting the assassin's head, and at the same time as the wooden spoon bounced away, the guard thirteen fit and crashed over, pulling out the sword in the sheath, dragging out a cold light. The assassin drew his dagger and rose horizontally, and the long table below that distributed steamed buns was slashed in two by the sword.
In a sudden scene, more armor soldiers came back to their senses and rushed towards the porridge shed.
The third and fourth assassins threw something in their arms, flew into the air and exploded with a 'boom', and dense fine needles rained out in all directions, clanging and bounced countless sparks on the iron armor, and also shot countless pinholes in the human face, and let out a terrible scream with blood on their faces.
After a moment's effort, Su Chen took advantage of the emptiness where the thirteen entanglement of the second assassin rushed towards Su Congfang on the ground, grabbed his shoulder and pulled it back, the first assassin looked over his head from the corpse of a soldier, and then, with a trace of afterimage, rushed straight over.
The dagger grazed the air, curling up the whistling wind.
Su Chen instinctively let go and rolled away on the spot, staggered the edge against the back of his head, cut off a few strands of hair, and when it fell, something fell out of his cuff and fell to the ground with a 'ding' sound,
It's the dull token.
"Little Hou Ye!" The long sword in the hand of the thirteenth guard swung a cold light, forcing away the assassin in front of him, and turned his head to hiss and shouted.
The assassin in the grass hut flipped the dagger in his hand and rushed towards Su Chen again.
The dust on the ground stroked slightly, rolling in the wind, and the token on the ground flashed with a faint light.
The rushing assassin froze suddenly, his eyes instantly tightened, and on the opposite side of his vision, behind the person called Xiao Hou Ye, there was a faint silhouette of a phantom standing, wearing a crown, twelve, wearing a dark crown robe, covering his legs with vermilion and covering his knees, and wearing a ribbon and a red scarf around his waist.
The silhouette of the man was glaring angrily.
"What the hell ......" the assassin was stunned for a moment.
At this time, Su Chen slowly got up from the ground, he had a different expression on his face, took a step, the dust at his feet blew and spread, his eyes bloomed majesticly, his arms were raised suddenly, his wide sleeves were waved away, and there seemed to be a voice in his voice that followed the loud drink.
"Left and right, capture one person, and kill the rest!"
The next moment after the words fell, behind the fence a little farther away from the porridge shed, a Jianghu man who was watching the play with an iron gun on his back suddenly convulsed, then opened his eyes suddenly, and jumped over the fence.
The moment he landed, his body ran wildly.
Treading ......
There was a rapid sound of footsteps, from far to near, the moment he rushed into the porridge shed, his toes hit the ground sharply, and the Jianghu people in green shirts jumped up with a spear.
Airplanes!
The guns roared, and the hands of the people who came threw them out, tearing out the wind whistle.
Poop!
The head of the spear blocked the dagger and grazed the edge, and went straight through the ragged body, flying backwards and nailing it to the wooden pillar of the porridge shed, and the shaking shed was squeaking.
The Assassin was all over his gun.
Suddenly, several assassins stopped, looked at the porridge shed in unison, Su Chen glanced at the knight who rushed in, the man was dressed in a green shirt and hat, stepped forward, and pulled out the spear from the person and the wooden pillar.
He took off his hat, his hair was neatly combed, a wisp of green silk hung down on his forehead, a thick beard on his chin, and his eyes were bright under his thick eyebrows.
The man's spear turned, and he was on the ground, and at the same time that the blood that remained on the head of the gun splashed and fell to the ground, he arched his hand towards Su Chen: "Green forest and grass are reckless, please meet the little marquis!" ”
