Chapter 36: The "Gentleman" on the Beam
Chen Zongyuan put down his chopsticks when he listened, and said unhappily:
"I said, why does Master Mingjing always persuade you to become a monk? When he first took you as an apprentice, I was so happy, I didn't sleep well for a few nights. But then he didn't let you go home, and stayed in the temple for eight years, making me and your mother anxious......
If your mother hadn't come to the door this time and patiently refused, I don't think he would have let you out of the mountain...... Three generations of my Chen family, you can't be a monk, catch up with Ming'er, I asked your mother to hurry up and give you a family affair. ”
Chen Kang hurriedly smiled and said, "Dad, don't blame my master. His old man said that my life was very strange, and if I didn't go out to study Buddhism, I would be harmed by evil in the future, and in the end, he was worried about me. Besides, my master said that even if my mother doesn't come this time, he plans to ask me to go home. ”
Chen Zongyuan glared at him dissatisfiedly: "Look, look! You don't believe what your father says, but you will believe whatever your master says." If it weren't for your mother this time, it would be strange that he would let you go home!
Besides, those demonic sayings, although there are rumors on the rivers and lakes, but your father and I have walked the rivers and lakes for decades, but we have never seen any monsters, how can you delay my Chen family's continuation of the incense for these legends!"
Yin Tiancheng said: "Master Chen, I heard a well-connected Taoist chief say that some demons are no different from ordinary people, and ordinary people can't recognize them when they see them......" Speaking of this, Yin Tiancheng suddenly paused, flicked his fingers, and two peanut beans flew towards the roof.
- "Bo Bo" Two crisp sounds of breaking tiles were sandwiched between a man's "Ah!" cries.
"There's someone up there!" Chen Kang shouted, and he ran out of the door and flew onto the roof, but the man was nowhere to be seen. When I checked the place again, I found a little blood next to the two round holes the size of fingertips.
"It seems that he has been injured by that Brother Yin...... This peanut is so crispy, and with such a single bullet, it can shoot through such a large and solid beam, and then pierce through this tile and shoot into the body...... This skill is really terrifying! Even the Master would never be able to do it. ”
"How's it going?" Chen Zongyuan stood in the courtyard and watched his son squatting on the roof silently, shouting.
Chen Kang said with a smile: "Dad, the light skills of the person who came are so clever, and the person I chased out is gone...... But Brother Yin's kung fu is too powerful, there is blood here, and the thief has already been injured. ”
Chen Kang said and jumped out of the room and returned to the room with Chen Zongyuan.
Chen Zongyuan looked Yin Tiancheng up and down, with a look of surprise: "I only said that Brother Yin's arm strength is outstanding, but I didn't expect that the internal strength has reached this realm......! Could it be that ......" eyes opened in vain: "Could it be that the brother is Peng Erxia Yin Tiancheng?"
This is the case with rivers and lakes, the more mysterious things are, and once the veil is lifted, the faster the news will spread. Yin Tiancheng saw that the other party had already seen through it, and it was not easy to hide it anymore, so he only said: "It is indeed Yin Tiancheng in the next, and 'Peng Erxia' is just a reputation for friends in the rivers and lakes, and I really dare not take it." ”
Chen Kang laughed "haha": "It turns out that you are Peng Erxia......! Then don't take what I said at the banquet to heart, just at the hand you just showed, I, Chen Kang, will have to write a big word!"
"Brother Chen has won the award!" Yin Tiancheng said.
Chen Zongyuan glared at Chen Kang and said, "I just said that you kid didn't go out of the mountain gate for a long time, and you didn't believe it, but now you believe it, right?"
"Yes, yes, you're right, Daddy...... But Dad, what's the baby in our house? I think this must be a professional robber. ”
Chen Zongyuan glared at him: "What kind of treasure can be produced? Isn't the most valuable thing in our family just you?"
Yin Tiancheng thought, Tianfeng Pavilion had spread the portraits of himself and his eldest brother, could this be some enemy of his own family who followed here? If that was the case, staying here would cause trouble for others.
However, the two demons of the Western Regions encountered on the road, they may attack some big families, could it be that they fancy what property in the village? However, this Chen family can only be regarded as rich in terms of decorations, but it is not a big rich man, so he asked:
"Master Chen, do you recognize the Western Regions Twin Demons?"
"They?" Chen Zongyuan was shocked when he heard this: "Those two are here?"
Yin Tiancheng said: "Today I met two people on the road, and their appearance is very similar to the rumored Western Regions Twin Demons. ”
Chen Zongyuan said hatefully: "Of course I know those two robbers! Five years ago, I walked through a dart and was robbed by two of them. Ay...... At that time, more than a dozen of my brothers were all killed at the hands of two people, you see......" Chen Zongyuan said and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a deep scar on his right arm: "My right hand was almost cut off, but fortunately, I met a passing Zhan Yifan hero, and I was able to save my life." ”
Chen Kang saw the shocking scar on his father's arm, and slapped the table angrily and scolded: "Dog! Don't let me meet me! If I do, I have to scrap their catch!"
Yin Tiancheng said: "I have also heard about the evil deeds of the two...... Does Lord Chen think it will be possible for the two of them to attack the mansion?"
"The two of them are not large sums of gold or silver, or things of great value are not eye-catching, and I have nothing particularly valuable here...... But if you really want to be targeted, it's going to be troublesome. ”
Chen Zongyuan was uneasy in his heart, thinking that those two people were strong in martial arts, if they came as soon as Yin Tiancheng left tomorrow, his side might not be sure of victory.
Chen Kang looked at him and said, "Dad, what's there to worry about? It would be better if those two really came! I was about to avenge my father's murder!"
"Kang'er, you must not underestimate the enemy! Those two people can commit murder in the rivers and lakes for so many years without being cut out, not only are they powerful in martial arts, but they are also very cunning!"
"Dad, don't worry, I know!" Chen Kang's eyes shot a cold glint: "The two of them really dare to come this time, you can see how I take care of them...... I'm only worried that he was frightened by Peng Erxia's hand just now, and he won't come in the future. ”
Yin Tiancheng smiled and said: "You don't always call me a hero, just like just now."
Isn't it good?"
The father and son glanced at each other, laughed and said, "That's okay, let's be respectful and obey!"
Chen Kang said: "Let's not care about the future for the time being, we are still not full of wine and food, come on, let's continue to eat." ”
Several people sat back in their positions, and Chen Zongyuan said with a smile: "My son is right, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve, it is rare that Brother Yin is here, we have to be lively tomorrow, Brother Yin is not allowed to leave tomorrow no matter what!"
Yin Tiancheng was silent, he wanted to rush to see Miao Xiaohuan in a hurry, but now he was a little relieved......
"Brother Yin!" Seeing that the two of them were noncommittal, Chen Zongyuan said, "Could it be that Chen has inconsiderate hospitality?"
"No, no, no! Master Chen Zhuang was too worried. Yin Tiancheng made up his mind and said: "Okay! That being the case, then disturb the house!"
"Hahaha...... Okay! Brother Yin is willing to stay here, my Chen family is really flourishing!" Chen Zongyuan laughed happily, "Please eat, please eat!" As he spoke, he took another sip of his wine glass.
After eating a meal, it was already after midnight, Chen Zongyuan was slightly drunk, and was helped by Chen Kang to rest, Yin Tiancheng looked at the appearance of Chen Zhuang's good wine, and couldn't help but think of his eldest brother Nie Mobei, and said secretly in his heart:
"The eldest brother is also very good wine, and he is a little similar to this Chen Zhuang owner. But the eldest brother is a good drinker but never gets drunk, and his self-control is excellent. And his courage and martial arts are rarely comparable in the world today. It's a pity that such a person is such an opportunity...... "Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel gloomy in my heart.
The next day, the sky was full of snowflakes, and it was especially cold. But the subordinates of the Chen family slaughtered chickens and sheep, laughed and laughed, and were still very busy.
After breakfast, Mrs. Chen led Chen Kang to thank Qianxun for a gift, and gave a delicate step shake made of pure gold and a hundred taels of silver, but Qian Xun only accepted the silver and refused the gold step shake.
On the way back, Mrs. Chen quietly discussed with her son: "You said that Miss Qianxun, why did you accept our silver?"
"What's wrong with you, mother, and people have accepted your money, you feel sorry for you?" Chen Kang said.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Chen poked her son in the shoulder, "They really saved your life!
"Then why did you say that just now?" Chen Kang asked with a smile.
"I just think...... You see that girl looks like a fairy girl, why don't you think about it? If it's me, I'll take it all, or I'll take nothing, and I'll be a good person.
Eh, even if I only accept one, I will have to accept this golden step shake! This must be worth at least three hundred taels of silver, which is worth a lot of money and does not lose my status. Why did you choose the 100 taels of silver? This is not only in the name of receiving the consultation fee, but it will not yield much benefit, but it will look tacky. "Mrs. Chen's analysis is straightforward.
"Mother, vulgar! There are so many ways to collect something. No wonder my master said that worldly people are either burdened by money or suffer from vanity. Qinggao, Qinggao can be eaten as food? People are Langzhong, and if they want to live on this, isn't it more convenient to sell the silver than that step?...... But this Qianxun girl ......" Chen Kang touched his chin thoughtfully.
"What's wrong?" asked Mrs. Chen.
"I think she's a person, don't look at her always smiling faintly, but she gives people an indescribable sense of alienation...... It's like ...... It's like a star in the sky, beautiful is beautiful, but there is a feeling that you can't get close......"
"Well, when you say that, I think so...... Then it seems that you and her are out of play. Mrs. Cheng pouted and shook her head.
"Huh?" Chen Kang was stunned for a moment before he said: "What is the play, what is the play? Mother, do you want your daughter-in-law to go crazy?"
"Oh son, is my mother anxious for you? Are you worried about that Chu girl? I chatted with her for a while at dinner last night, she is an official eunuch, and my father is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites. You are reckless, I don't think the two families can be screwed together. ”
Chen Kang rolled his eyes helplessly: "Mother, then you can think about it slowly." And he ran away.
