Lu Man's face was shy, his right hand let him hold it, smiled lightly, and said, "Are you afraid that I will run away?"

Chen Xiuyuan said with a straight face: "Sister Man, you understand me, and I understand you, but ...... But you...... Don't come with us tomorrow. ”

Lu Man said: "Why?"

Chen Xiuyuan said: "All in all, you can't go. It turned out that Chen Xiuyuan thought of tomorrow's dart exchange at the moment, or it was very dangerous, and he didn't want Lu Man to accompany him on the adventure.

Lu Man grabbed his palm with his backhand, raised his head to look at him, and said in a low voice: "Brother Yuan, don't you understand my mind at this moment? How can I not understand your intentions, but if you encounter any danger, I don't have you, can I still live alone?"

Chen Xiuyuan's heart was shocked, he didn't feel grateful, ecstatic, cherished, and loved, all kinds of emotions surged into his heart at the same time, his right hand clenched the Suni Sword on his waist, and he was a hundred times more courageous in vain, and suddenly felt that tomorrow's things were not to be feared, and there was nothing difficult in the world, so he said proudly: "Okay, let's go with my eldest brother." ”

After a while, Chen Xiuyuan sighed again and said, "We have this Suni Sword, I'...... I have you by my side, but General Yu's Wugou curved sword is obviously a 'sword of the princes' and a sharp weapon to destroy the Japanese invaders, but it was abandoned by the imperial court and buried in the recklessness of the rivers and lakes, but it is a pity that it ...... Alas!"

At this time, I suddenly heard the horse's hooves stomping quickly, and a van-shaped carriage suddenly drove over at the corner of the intersection, and when the carriage drove past Chen Xiuyuan's side, the curtain was raised slightly, and a woman's voice in the carriage exclaimed in a low voice, "Is it Yuan'er?"

When Chen Xiuyuan heard this voice, his heart was shocked, and he exclaimed, "Ahh......h

At this time, the carriage had also stopped, and Lu Man saw a middle-aged lady coming from the carriage, and saw that Chen Xiuyuan had already hurriedly rushed to bow down, and shouted: "Mom......" and said: "Daddy, how are he?"

It turned out to be Mrs. Chen, at this time, Mrs. Chen didn't have time to think much about why she suddenly met her beloved son here, tears fell in her eyes, dripping on the bluestone pavement in front of Chen Xiuyuan, and hurriedly reached out to pull him up, and then tightly held Chen Xiuyuan's arm, looked up at him carefully, and said in a trembling voice: "Your father is very good, you are a distant son...... It's my child......" said this, although there were a thousand words in my heart, I couldn't say it anymore, only laughed and cried.

After a while, Mrs. Chen remembered that she saw her beloved son and a young man walking with a young man from a distance in the car, and was slightly surprised, and then looked at the young son, only to see that "he" was extremely handsome, and then understood that it was a young beautiful girl pretending to be a man, and was standing quietly on the side.

Mrs. Chen still held her beloved son's arm tightly and walked a few steps to meet Lu Man. Although Lu Man was pretending to be a man, he still blessed Mrs. Chen, her jade cheeks were red, embarrassed and ashamed, and she couldn't speak, and after a while, she said softly: "Mrs. Chen, hello." Chen Xiuyuan's face was also flushed, and he said, "Mom, this ...... This is a child's ...... Friend ......" paused, and then said to Lu Man: "Man...... Miss Lu, come and sit down with us...... "It turned out that although he met his mother suddenly and was overjoyed, he still didn't want to be separated from Lu Man.

Lu Man didn't want to be separated from him, but she was very reserved, and it was inconvenient to go with him, so she wanted to say goodbye, but she couldn't answer. Mrs. Chen smiled, holding Che Xiuyuan's arm with one hand, and stretched out Lu Man's hand with the other, and said with a smile: "Girl, if you don't dislike it, let's go to the house to drink a cup of tea together." Lu Man replied like a mosquito, but said to Chen Xiuyuan in his heart: "You say go, just go." Although Mrs. Chen couldn't hear what Lu Man answered, she saw that she didn't resist, so she took the two of them into the carriage together.

Fortunately, the carriage was quite spacious, and after the three of them had got into the carriage and sat down, Mrs. Chen sat down among the two of them, and whispered to the coachman, who shouted, and the horse pulled the wheels of the carriage and rolled on the stone road.

Chen Xiuyuan saw Lu Man in the car with his head down, his jade cheeks were red, his face was full of shyness and shyness, how could he still have a little bit of the appearance of a woman in the rivers and lakes and the head of Emei, he was secretly funny in his heart, and felt very happy and satisfied.

At this time, Mrs. Chen was happily holding Chen Xiuyuan in one hand in the car, and holding Lu Man's palm in the other. Then she and Chen Xiuyuan told about the other situation, it turned out that the seaside robbers had recently invaded the border, so she and Chen Xiuyuan's father followed his daughter's family from Fuzhou to this Jianning Mansion to take refuge in the sea, but they didn't want to be able to meet their beloved son here. Chen Xiuyuan didn't want to bring the disturbances in the rivers and lakes into his home, so he didn't tell his mother about the recent situation, so as not to worry her, so he only said that he had been ordered by his master to go down the mountain a few days ago.

Mrs. Chen was full of joy when she saw her beloved son Yicheng coming down the mountain, but when she saw him hanging a long sword from her waist, she couldn't help but reveal a deep worry and worried look in her eyes.

After about a meal, the coachman drove the carriage to a stop in front of a secluded Zhumen house, and Mrs. Chen said, "Here we are, this is your brother-in-law's old house, and your father and I are staying here temporarily." Saying that he got off the car with the hands of the two, the door had already opened, and when he saw the carriage stop, he greeted a middle-aged man in his forties and dressed as a scholar from the door, Chen Xiuyuan saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to kowtow, and shouted: "Daddy......" The father and son have been seeing each other for a long time, and they are happy again.

Father Chen was a little surprised when he saw Mrs. Chen affectionately carrying a young man's hand back together, and then it became clear that it was a woman dressed up, and he didn't ask much at the moment, and ordered the old servant to open the main door, and first welcomed Lu Man and Mrs. Chen into the house, and then took Chen Xiuyuan's hand and then entered the house together.
