Chapter 161: Family Style

The Xu family is a big family, and it is also famous in Liuyun City, and the scene that happened in front of the Xu family's mansion at this moment immediately attracted the attention of many people from far and near. Shen Shi stopped and looked at these Xu family monks who were coming around, not understanding what they meant for a while, but after a while, these dozen or so people had already faintly surrounded Shen Shi.

One of them swept his gaze over Xu Xing, who was lying unconscious on Shen Shi's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Who is Your Excellency, why is he carrying the third master of my family, and why is he seriously injured so much?"

Shen Shi wanted to speak and stopped, the ins and outs of this could not be explained clearly in a moment, but looking at the solemn and capable crowd around him, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, they were among the four great families, and he had never seen such a person when he went to the Zhong family that day, and the two families were really completely different.

After others saw that Shen Shi did not answer immediately but was silent for a moment, their expressions became more and more condensed, and even several people had a faint hint of hostility on their faces. But at this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the gate of Xu's house, looking about forty years old, with a square face in a brocade robe and a long robe, and his expression was actually somewhat similar to Xu Xing.

He strode all the way with an anxious look on his face, and there were a few people behind him, and before they arrived, they heard him say loudly with an anxious voice: "Third brother, third brother, what's wrong with him?"

Before the words fell, he had already walked to Shen Shi's place, his eyes swept over Xu Xing, who was lying on Shen Shi's back, his face changed again, and then he arched his hand and said in a deep voice: "Under Xu Teng, it is for the head of the Xu family, dare to ask Your Excellency, how could my third brother Xu Xing be seriously injured like this?"

Shen Shi hesitated for a moment and said: "I have seen the head of the Xu family, I am Shen Shi, a disciple of the Lingxiao Sect, Third Uncle Xu He was poisoned in the Centipede Mountain, and after I took the Xuanyan Fruit for him, I rushed all the way back." ”

Xu Teng's body was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "I see." As he spoke, he suddenly said angrily to the people around him, "What are you doing here, don't go to take the third master back to find someone for treatment, this Shen Gongzi is the great benefactor of our Xu family, not an opponent!"

There was a commotion around the people, it seems that this Xu Teng has always had a high reputation, and immediately several people ran over to take Xu Xing, and then lifted all the way into the Xu family's mansion, although Xu Teng still looked worried, after all, there was a toss in the middle, that Xu Xing was still unconscious with black gas, obviously seriously injured, but he still pressed the anxiety in his heart, and at the same time glanced at Shen Shi, and saw that this young man's body shook significantly twice after Xu Xing left, the tiredness on his face was revealed, and his heart moved again, and he arched his hand to Shen Shi, and said: "Please also ask Shen Gongzi to also go into the house to rest for a while, now is really not the time to say thank you, please forgive Gongzi. ”

Shen Shi subconsciously wanted to excuse himself, but then he thought that the ins and outs of this matter really had to be explained clearly to the Xu family, so he nodded immediately, agreed, and walked towards the Xu family's mansion with everyone.

After entering the Xu family's mansion, the people who were carrying Xu Xing in front of them had long since disappeared, and obviously took Xu Xing to the quiet room early in the morning and looked for someone to rescue them. And after Xu Teng led Shen Shi to the living room and asked someone to serve tea, he was also uneasy, and he seemed to be very worried about Xu Xing's injury, so he soon complained to Shen Shi and went to visit Xu Xing.

Shen Shi naturally has no objection to this, after all, others have a deep brotherhood, and to be honest at this moment, he is actually a little uneasy in his heart, although after taking the Xuanyan Fruit last night, the toxicity on Xu Xing's body seems to have eased a lot, but there is still black qi on his face, but it is not so dense, and the most important thing is that for some reason Xu Xing has been unconscious and delirious, and a large area of weird red spots appeared on his face, which really makes people a little worried.

Xu Teng has not returned for a long time since he left, except for the girls who occasionally walk by outside in the spacious and bright living room, no one has come, Shen Shi waited and waited, and his heart became more and more uneasy, secretly thinking that there should be no real accident, right?

After a long time, just as Shen Shi was thinking about whether to go out and find someone from the Xu family to ask what the situation was, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from the corridor outside the living room, and at the same time, a voice that seemed to be a girl with a little anxiety came:

"Mother, mother, slow down, listen to me, don't mess around......"

Shen Shi turned back in amazement, and before he could react, he saw two women suddenly turning out of the door of the living room, the first one was a middle-aged woman, with a good posture, but her expression was sad and sad, her face was pale, and she looked at Shen Shi fiercely as soon as she came in, and behind her was a young girl, whose figure had not yet grown, and she was no more than ten years old at most, but her snow-skinned eyes were pretty and moving, and she was already a beautiful embryo.

At this moment, the girl looked anxious, holding one of the middle-aged woman's arms with both hands, as if she had been trying to hold her, but the woman she called her mother didn't care, didn't care about the girl's pull, ran all the way in, glared at Shen Shi, and said, "Is it you, a thief, who harmed my master?"

Shen Shi was shocked, his body shook slightly, although Xu Xing's situation was not very good when he came over earlier, but it should have stabilized under the medicinal effect of Xuan Yanguo, how could something suddenly happen in the past half a day? He couldn't help but be stunned and said:

"What, Uncle Xu, what's wrong with him?"

The woman's tears flowed out of her eyes and she cried, "He...... Now that all his meridians have been burned by the medicinal power of the Xuanyan Fruit, most of his life Dao has been destroyed, and he will become a waste person in the future. You, you wicked man, I'll fight with you!"

Shen Shi was speechless, this result was something he never expected, the medicinal nature of the Xuanyan Fruit has always been fierce and fierce, he did know a little bit about it, but it was completely unexpected. Of course, the most important thing in a monk's life is the realm of Taoism, and it is never an exaggeration to say that he has become a wasted person if he loses his Taoism, and after a serious injury to his body, he has no spiritual nourishment, which has a great impact on his lifespan, and it is indeed a very tragic and tragic end.

For a while, Shen Shi was also guilty and speechless, and after the woman finished shouting, she rushed over directly as if she was desperate, waving her hands and crying and screaming at Shen Shi. Fortunately, the beautiful girl seemed to be a little more sober, and kept pulling her mother behind her back, shouting to the outside while persuading loudly, asking people to call the head of the uncle's family to come over.

Shen Shi has basically never been so embarrassed in his life, he was chased and beaten by a woman who was almost the same as ordinary people and did not dare to fight back, all the way backwards, the chair poured tea over, and saw that in the chaos, suddenly there was a commotion outside the living room, but Xu Teng rushed in with five or six subordinates, as soon as he saw the situation in the living room, Xu Teng's face turned blue immediately, and he shouted angrily:

"Brother and sister, stop!

The living room was quiet for a moment, but after a moment of silence, the woman cried again, choked up, and said, "Uncle, uncle, it was this wicked man who harmed Xu Xing, why didn't you kill this thief?"

Xu Teng's forehead was bruised, and the girl hugged her mother's arm, and wanted to drag it out, and said urgently: "Mother, don't worry, everything is decided by the uncle and grandmother, let's go to my father's side first." ”

It's okay that she didn't mention Xu Xing, as soon as the word "father" came out, the woman suddenly cried as if she was stimulated, but she suddenly rushed towards Shen Shi again, Shen Shi smiled bitterly, and had to dodge in embarrassment.

Xu Teng almost spit out a mouthful of blood, his face was pale, and he said angrily to the few subordinates who followed behind him: "Bastard, don't go over and pull the third lady away." ”

The four or five subordinates looked like monks with extraordinary deeds, but at this moment, they all had strange expressions on their faces, and they promised in their mouths, but Ai Ai was dragging and refused to come forward, and it was the third master's wife who was angry over there, and no matter how he said that he was also the master in terms of name, this is good to offend casually.

Xu Teng was even more angry when he saw it, but he knew more or less the thoughts of these subordinates, but he had the heart to go over by himself, but as an uncle, he was pulling and pulling with his brother-in-law, and he was honest, and he was usually wise and resourceful for a while, and he was actually short-term and speechless.

In the midst of this chaos, suddenly there was a broken cry from outside the living room, although there was a bit of old meaning, but the sound was like gold and iron, shaking the heart, and in an instant it overwhelmed all the voices, with a little anger, and shouted:

"Stop!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an instant silence in the living room, and everyone was in awe, and they all turned sideways to get out of the way, including Xu Teng, the head of the Xu family, and even the woman who was crying desperately just now seemed to be taken aback and quieted down.

Shen Shi turned his head to look, only to see an old woman walking in at the door of the living room, with silver hair like snow, clear eyes, and a calm momentum, holding a crested cane, followed by several girls, all the way in.

Shen Shi faintly guessed the identity of this old woman in his heart, and after seeing Xu Teng step forward and gently call "mother", he was even more sure that this old woman was the old ancestor of the Xu family, Mrs. Xu, and in terms of seniority, it was Sun You's maternal grandmother.

Old Madam Xu's eyes were like electricity, swept over the messy living room, and saw the girl with an anxious and worried face and the woman with an unnatural complexion, as well as Shen Shi, who was standing aside with an embarrassed face, not knowing how to be good, and her face instantly became gloomy.

It's just that she didn't attack other people immediately, but looked at Xu Teng coldly, Xu Teng chuckled in his heart, his head lowered a little, and then everyone present clearly heard Mrs. Xu said coldly to Xu Teng: "This is the Xu family that you usually manage, to the point where you don't know right from wrong, and mess around?" Speaking of this, her voice suddenly increased, staring at Xu Teng with anger, and shouted,

"Brute, you are so mediocre and incompetent, do you want to defeat our Xu family's thousand-year-old foundation, do you want to make your old lady angry and dead, so that you will not be able to see your dead father under Jiuquan!"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall, Xu Teng's face turned pale in an instant, and he knelt down directly in front of Mrs. Xu with a "poof" sound, and said:

"The mother is angry, the mother is angry, it is the son who is incompetent and unfilial, I just ask the mother not to be angry. ”

Old Madam Xu snorted coldly, she didn't even look at Xu Teng who was kneeling in front of her, her eyes swept over Mrs. Xu Xing's face like a clear blade, the woman was startled, she no longer saw the arrogant appearance just now, her face was afraid, and she only heard Old Madam Xu say awe-inspiringly:

"The third child was poisoned by the 'rotten mud powder', which was bound to die, but thanks to the help of this Shen Gongzi, he forcibly suppressed the toxicity with Xuan Yanguo, which saved the third child's life. If the Tao is gone, it will be gone, so what? If you start cultivating at an age, and one more year of life is a year, and that's it, isn't it more important for people to live than anything else?

There was a hint of disgust on her face, and she said coldly: "What's more, that Xuanyan Fruit is such a rare spiritual fruit, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure, Shen Gongzi's benevolence and righteousness to rescue the third child are the people who have great kindness to us, but you treat it like this, how can it be reasonable!"

When the woman heard the back, her face became more and more pale, and the face of the girl beside her became more and more frightened, and then everyone in the living room heard Old Madam Xu slam her crested cane and shouted:

"Like such a mediocre and foolish woman, who doesn't know right from wrong, and repays virtue with grievances, she will definitely cause trouble with my Xu family and ruin my family business in the future, why bother to keep you, come here, drive this stupid blunt woman out of the house for me, and don't allow her to step into my Xu family again!"

"Ahh

There was a scream, but the woman was so frightened that she suddenly collapsed to the ground, and the faces of the people around her were all pale, but no one dared to speak, and Shen Shi was also stunned, unable to speak for a long time.

In the silence, suddenly only the pretty girl cried, threw herself down on Mrs. Xu's leg, hugged one of her legs and cried:

"Grandma, grandma, my mother is wrong, please spare her, spare her this time!"
