Chapter 268: Upright
The Zhou family where Zhou Yan, which Chen Qi said, is indeed an old resident of Anning Street. He settled here sixty years ago. However, Qizhou at that time did not have the current prosperity, but it was just a small county town.
This street is also ordinary.
The Zhou family is a carpenter's family, with family-born craftsmanship, and their descendants are all carpenters. However, this generation of Carpenter Zhou wants to change the family due to various accidents.
In these days, carpenters are not easy to be good. Don’t look at the older generation’s sayings, they can eat everything in one trick and have a skill, so they will not easily become hungry. However, the status of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, carpenters are no higher than that of merchants.
He was increasingly unbearable for such a dwarf life. If there was no change, he might not have made up his mind to change. But he suddenly married a scholar who knew the literacy and wrote a very smart son.
The Zhou family has never had the brains of studying for generations. When Carpenter Zhou was a child, his father had hope for him, but even if he saves money and sends him to a private school, he will fall asleep as soon as he goes to school and let him sit in the room and study honestly, it would be better to kill him.
Carpenter Zhou's father didn't force it.
After all, his father came here like this.
When Carpenter Zhou became a child and his son grew up a little, he would send him to study first as usual. Even if Carpenter Zhou didn't give him much hope, he had to give it a try.
If his son doesn't work, Carpenter Zhou thought, just stop trying. The seeds of study are so easy to come out, but if you can't study, you can't get into a scholar, and you can't change your family, you will lose your skills in eating at home.
As a result, one day, two days, three days...
His son studied hard in a private school, which was quite good. Even though the husband didn't say anything about his son being a genius, he often praised him for his intelligence and a reading embryo.
Carpenter Zhou was very happy. When he went back, he killed a hen that was laying eggs and nourished his precious son Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan continued to study all the way and is now an outstanding student of Qizhou Academy.
Chen Qi briefly introduced it and led Yang Yuying to the door of Zhou's house. He was a little hesitant. Before he could knock on the door, he heard a creaking sound, and the door opened by itself.
A carpenter with a slightly white hair, a frown on his face, and a frown frown came out. When he went out, he was stunned when he saw Chen Qi, curled the corners of his lips, and smiled reluctantly: "Is it the Chen family boy, come to find Zhou Yan? That child may feel a little uncomfortable these days. Just so happen that you have always been to him, so go and see him."
Chen Qi responded quickly. Before he entered the door, he heard footsteps. When he looked up, he saw Zhou Yan coming out of the house with discomfort. His steps were neither too fast nor too slow, but very stable.
Yang Yuying also looked over and frowned slightly.
This Zhou Yan has a good appearance, with a straight facial features, clear eyebrows and a well-proportioned figure.
There are actually not many good-looking people in the world, and even his appearance is very good.
But his face was too pale and there was no blood at all. In Yang Yuying's eyes, the man was surrounded by ominous evil spirits, gray, and something blood-red flashed by.
"Yanyan, where are you going? The academy is on holiday today."
The middle-aged woman shouted with a worried face.
Zhou Yan ignored him and went out directly, hit Chen Qi's shoulder and walked away. The middle-aged woman behind her was not very good at legs and feet. After chasing her for a few steps, she couldn't catch up. Chen Qi quickly helped her, but she didn't fall.
"Zhou Yan!"
Chen Qi's heart was blocked and his face turned pale.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
The middle-aged woman smiled embarrassedly, "Chen Qi, you also know Yan Yan's temperament. She is the most filial to the ordinary. I don't know what happened these days, so I probably feel unhappy."
Chen Qi opened his mouth and lowered his head. His heart was so nervous that he was pounding, and his whole body was trembling. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Yang Yuying's sleeve: "Is Zhou Yan really evil? Is there anything unusual about the Zhou family?"
While the middle-aged woman was going to prepare tea for them, Yang Yuying walked slowly and observed every corner of the Zhou family, her expression also became a little solemn.
Yang Yuying sighed and thought to herself: Is she lucky or not?
The newcomers to the Secret Guard are not as many as the aliens she encountered. Not only are they many in number, many varieties and high quality, but most of them are high-level aliens with intelligence. Even Zhong Mianmian was worried that her disciples had such unique luck. If they had not yet grown up, they would directly crash into the nest of a "king" and let them eat them alive.
"This Zhou Yan's temperament suddenly changed drastically?"
Chen Qi was very nervous. When he heard her ask, he nodded repeatedly, "He ignored me. He never did this before. Besides, it would be fine to treat me like this, even to his parents..."
While talking, Zhou Yan's mother had already sent tea and snacks into the house. She didn't see the sadness she had just said, and she smiled happily. She was busy serving them tea and water, her face softly: "Chen Qi, you are a coincidence. Our Yanyan is not rude. He is usually very obedient, you know."
Obviously, the mother was wholeheartedly planning for her son, worried that he would not get along well with his classmates in the academy.
Chen Qi forced a smile and whispered to the woman who was also worried and frightened. As soon as he left the Zhou family gate, he saluted Yang Yuying sincerely: "Master, please help Zhou Yan, you must help him!"
Yang Yuying pondered for a moment, feeling a little embarrassed: "Well, I think, I'll write a letter. You can go to my companion to help with it. It seems that it's not a trivial matter. You can wait for another three or five days..."
Chen Qi's tears fell down.
Yang Yuying: “…”
She sighed, thought for a while, and turned back to the Zhou family with Chen Qi, but stood in front of Zhou Yan's mother. Facing such a pale and haggard face, she still hesitated for a moment, and said, "Go and see if there is nothing missing in your family, such as money, valuables, etc."
Zhou Yan's mother was stunned, and in a daze, her face changed drastically, and she rushed back to the room. After a moment, a depressing cry sounded in the room.
However, the cry only sounded.
The woman left the room again, her expression had returned to calm, and she said softly: "Thank you for your concern, Miss, nothing happened."
She paused and smiled, "Our area is adjacent to the academy, and the people are very simple and very safe."
Chen Qi was shocked and suspicious, but Yang Yuying nodded, signaled slightly, and turned her head to leave first.
Yang Yuying walked out of the gate and walked quickly.
Chen Qi followed closely behind, thinking in his heart what the master meant? Could it be that Zhou Yan was so unhappy because the Zhou family lost something important?
He thought so in his heart, and he said it unconsciously. Yang Yuying shook his head and laughed. Chen Qi, a student, was very open and honest.
