It was almost evening, and the setting sun on the horizon only cast a rich color among the clouds, as if it was bringing a successful end to the day.
In a farmland not far away, a group of farmers were heading home carrying farm tools. In this forbidden mountain, Chen Shoubei finally opened his eyes from the huge pain.
Looking at the light shining on the leaves from between the branches, Chen Shoubei almost thought for a moment that he was having a dream.
However, he could feel a severe itching on his arm. Then he turned his head and looked over, and found a fluffy little wild dog cub next to him licking his wound. He almost subconsciously wanted to remove the little wild dog. The kid was thrown out with one hand.
However, just as he was about to take the kid away, he saw a faint green light flashing not far away.
Then at the same time, a wild dog as big as a calf emerged from the grass.
It growled lowly at Chen Shoubei, and only showed its sinister white fangs towards Chen Shoubei.
As soon as he saw this thing and realized that this little cub might be the cub of this wild dog, Chen Shoubei didn't dare to move at all. He could only carefully touch his broken arm, and then moved toward the wild dog. The dog poked in the direction of the dog. When the wild dog saw his action, it wanted to pounce on him immediately.
However, he just gave the thing to the wild dog cub to sniff, and then he threw the arm directly.
When the bastard saw this, he immediately chased in the direction of the arm.
At the same time, he got rid of the little wild dog cub, he immediately picked up a stick, and then quickly retreated and stumbled out of the forbidden mountain.
When the wild dog saw this, it wanted to chase him. However, perhaps because it was considering its pup, or perhaps it was not hungry at the moment, after seeing that Chen Shoubei had no intention of attacking, the dog actually did not continue to chase him.
But even so, Chen Shoubei still stumbled and ran in a panic from the forbidden mountain to the foot of the mountain.
The setting sun completely sank behind the mountain, and the clouds were replaced by thick ink.
At this time, everyone in the village had naturally gone back to their homes, so the road was very quiet. He was tired and hungry, but after losing an arm, he no longer dared to enter any house nearby to steal.
He held the wooden stick that he had just dropped and walked towards the outside of the village like an ordinary beggar.
He didn't dare to go back to Leiyang City. If nothing else happened, the city would have been filled with notices. His wife and children didn't know what the situation was, but at the moment, he didn't dare to go back to visit.
As for the adults who had received benefits from him, he thought they might also avoid him, right?
Now that he thinks about it carefully, he really has nowhere to go. The only thing he can do is to hide around like a gopher in the gutter all day long.
"Master! It's not good! It's not good! Something big happened!" Chen Huan'an was still in a hazy sleep.
Suddenly hearing this shouting voice only shattered his sweet dream, and Chen Huanan immediately became dissatisfied.
"What's your name? Didn't you see me sleeping?" Chen Huan'an just scolded the screaming slave loudly.
The servant was immediately scolded by Chen Huanan, so he naturally stopped talking. ..
Chen Huan'an wanted to turn over and go back to sleep. However, he didn't know whether it was the hot weather or the servant's bad words that disturbed his mood. However, he couldn't feel sleepy anymore, so he just immediately He stood up dissatisfied. At the same time, he just looked at the servant and asked dissatisfied, "What's wrong?"
When the servant heard Chen Huanan's inquiry, he dared to speak again, "Master, our house was ransacked, and Madam and the others were also imprisoned. Master's life and death are also uncertain now."
"What? How could this happen? Are you kidding me?" Chen Huanan asked the servant with his eyes widened in disbelief.
However, the servant who was questioned just sighed helplessly, and then whispered, "It's absolutely true. This is a letter from Tong'an. It can't be wrong. Master, what should we do now?"
"What else can I do? Of course I should go back to Leiyang to find my father and rescue them all!"
The voice fell
, the young master was going home.
The servant watched his young master rushing forward recklessly, and he just sighed in his heart.
"Master, I am afraid that I am the person they are mainly looking for now. If we go back hastily, I am afraid it will only cause some bad things. And even if we find the master, I am afraid it will not help."
"My dad is so powerful, he will be fine!" Chen Huanan obviously still couldn't accept the fact.
The servant could only continue to say, "Young master, please wake up. It is true that no one in Leiyang City dares to offend me except the county magistrate. But if the superiors want to investigate the case of reselling weapons, I am afraid that I will be doomed."
Upon hearing this, Chen Huanan seemed to have accepted the fact that his father was not that powerful. He sat down on the stool, then looked at the slave blankly and said, "Then what should I do?"
The servant just shook his head.
And just when the two of them were at their wits' end. The servant then thought of another way. He just said, "Master, how about we go and beg your father-in-law? If it's because of this relationship, it's impossible for him to ignore you!"
However, after hearing what the slave said, Chen Huanan laughed even louder than the slave.
"Looking for my father-in-law? He won't care about us! He probably wants our father and son to die! If I come looking for him again, I'm afraid their next step will be to find someone to arrest me."
Then Chen Huan'an said, "I finally figured it out. It turns out that those idiots who lied to me and Li knew that our family was going to fall. They were obviously afraid that the platform would hit them, so they avoided me! They all It’s a bunch of ***!”
Chen Huanan shouted angrily.
"Then what should we do, young master?" the servant asked in a low voice.
"What else can we do? We can only go find our uncle first. My uncle is currently doing business in Anxi Prefecture, so we can only go find him first." Chen Huanan said in a low voice.
Although the servant felt that the uncle was kind to Chen Huanan in the past, it was only because his father was a guard in Leiyang City.
But now they have no choice but to go to that kind uncle. As long as the other party can help them, that is already a good thing. One piece.
Therefore, the two of them could only try to sneak out of the inn first.
However, they didn't expect that they had just opened the door of the inn, and there were two strong men guarding the door.
The two strong men only said to Chen Huanan, "Master Chen, our boss is looking for you."
Soon afterwards, they directly carried Chen Huananti out.
"Master Chen, our boss is waiting for you inside, you can go in!"
Hearing this, Chen Huanan originally wanted to sneak away, but the two strong men did not give Chen Huanan this chance at all. They directly pushed Chen Huanan into the back garden.
In the back garden, a man wearing a brown satin shirt was sitting in a small pavilion. He smiled and said, "Master Chen, how are you doing these days?"
They just said a few words of politeness, but Chen Huanan had already said, "It's okay, but your food needs to be improved, and the bed is not soft enough..."
Listening to Chen Huan'an picking and choosing here, he probably made it worthless.
The boss could only interrupt Chen Huan'an first, and then he just said, "It's really difficult for Master Chen to reluctantly live in our shop."
Then his eyes only fell on Chen Huanan's baggage.
He then said, "Master Chen, are you ready to leave?"
"Yes!" Chen Huanan said without any politeness.
Upon hearing this, the boss immediately smiled and said, "Master Chen, you can't leave right now. The account hasn't been settled yet after you leave!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Huanan immediately said loudly, "You came to me just to talk about this nonsense?"
The shopkeeper said "Yes."
"When have I ever failed to pay your bills? Just send the bill to Leiyang, and don't bother me for this trivial matter."
Hearing Chen Huanan's words, the shopkeeper just smiled and said, "Young master, you are joking. Let's send it to Leiyang. Who else will pay the bill? After all, I heard that Leiyang
The Chen family has been raided now. Where do you think we can go to settle the debt? "
Upon hearing this, Chen Huanan was also shocked. He obviously did not expect that this news would reach the ears of the shopkeeper.
However, in order not to show that he was deliberately trying to default on the bill, he immediately said, "How is this possible? Where did you get this news from?"
Hearing Chen Huanan's question, the shopkeeper only said, "As a businessman, guests from all over the world always bring a lot of news. I heard from the guests from Leiyang City that you are everywhere now." Father’s wanted notice.”
Upon hearing the shopkeeper's words, those rumors were only confirmed.
But the top priority now is obviously not the time to be sad for the spring and autumn.
His first priority is to pay off the money for accommodation first.
Therefore, Chen Huan'an shivered for a while before asking, "How much is it now?"
The shopkeeper immediately opened the abacus, crackled the beads, and showed the calculations to Chen Huanan.
"Master Chen's accommodation fee, plus other money transactions, totals one hundred and thirty-two taels. Do you want to settle it in cash? Or exchange it in kind?"
Hearing this, Chen Huanan froze on the spot. He didn't have that much money in his hand, especially after he mistakenly mistook a man for a woman, and the only big banknote in his hand was directly defrauded.
He didn't take it seriously at the time. Who would have thought that in just a few days, he would become a heroic man stumped by a penny?
After he calmed down for a moment, he asked the shopkeeper, "What is the method of exchanging items?"
The shopkeeper didn't say anything, he just moved Chen Huan up and down and looked at it carefully.
