Chapter 68 Attacked
At noon, sparse pedestrians walked on the official road, and shouted from time to time.
Among them, there are the most eye-catching convoys.
Two carriages were walking in the middle, with more than a dozen men in short clothes scattered around them.
The middle-aged man in the lead was wearing ink clothes, with two long cloth bags on his back, and an iron knife hung around his waist, speaking to a boy who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old beside him. The boy was tall and one head taller than the man. At this time, he was lowering his head and listening to the man's admonition, with a look of ashamed face.
"Mr. Chen is still twenty miles away from Xingyang City. There is a tea shop ahead. Brothers have been traveling for a long time and have a rest in front of you."
Just as the middle-aged man was splashing and talking vigorously, a short and energetic man rushed back from the front and came to him and whispered in a low voice.
The President Chen, who was carrying a cloth bag, stopped his head and turned his head and shouted loudly: "Brothers, there is a tea shop ahead. Everyone go to have some tea to rest and then rush to the road. Be alert in groups and pay attention to the goods."
Amid the cheers, everyone accelerated their pace and headed to the tea shop.
After walking for about half a mile, the tea shop sitting next to the official road came into view.
The simple two-story bamboo house, with dim and gray-colored bamboos, looked like they were not short. The windows on the second floor were open, and you could vaguely see a woman dressing up inside. There were seven or eight square bamboo tables scattered on the open space at the door, and four benches were placed next to each table. On the side of the bamboo house, there was a bamboo pole about two meters long stuck in the mud. The bamboo pole was topped with a flag, and the word "tea" was written in regular script.
When everyone arrived, several tables of guests had already sat down for tea. A group of more than a dozen people picked up tables and sat down, and greeted the store to bring tea.
Mr. Chen sat around a table with a woman in white, a scholar in blue, and a young man in black who was scolded on the road. After the tea was delivered, the young man stood up first and helped the three of them pour tea before sitting down. The whole process looked respectful and his movements were fair. The man seemed to be quite satisfied with the style of his children's education, and a smile appeared on his dark face.
"Miss Jin, Mr. Chen, Xingyang City is about twenty miles ahead. These days, the boats and cars are exhausted, so they can only eat some dry food and wild game on the road. After entering the city, Chen will be the host and invite you to the best restaurant and have a good meal."
He always took a sip of coarse tea on his head, smacked his lips, and spoke to a man and a woman.
The man dressed in green clothes as a scholar quickly said, "Chen is polite. I have received your care from all sides along the way. I am grateful to you. After entering the city, I will still be the one who is here to go, just to thank the escort agency for taking care of you along the way."
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen, don't be polite. Our children in the world are convenient for others. Being able to meet Mr. Chen and Miss Jin by chance is fate. If you say you don't care about it, you will get divorced. I, Chen Zhen, is a big man. Apart from playing with swords and guns, the big words on the book are because I don't recognize him, and he doesn't recognize me either. Mr. Sun, the second-in-commander in our escort agency, has read a few books, and others are all big words but not a basket of words. Along the way, Mr. Chen explained his knowledge to his children. Mr. Chen is grateful to you from the bottom of his heart, so don't be polite. When he turns back and enters the city, he must let me set a table of wine and toast to the young master."
The scholar named Chen bowed and said polite words like "not daring to be polite". As he raised his hand, he glanced at the woman in white on his left hand and shook his head in slightest.
The woman in white, called Miss Jin, was signaled by the scholar's eyes, nodded slightly, and then raised the tea bowl and put it on his mouth to take a sip. The young man in black, sitting on one side, was always taking a look at him with Yu Guang. Although his movements were secret, even his strict father had not noticed it, the girl was still as insightful as the fire. Of course, the scholar in blue had naturally noticed it, and along the way he told the young man a lot of Confucian principles such as not being polite and being open-minded. But the young man listened to Mr. Chen, and his attitude towards Mr. Chen was quite respectful, but he kept secretly looking at him along the way. The woman did not point it out, but just drank tea calmly, focusing on the pair of grandparents and grandchildren who were snuggling up to each other from the official road.
The lame old man limped from the official road with a wooden cane. The little girl, aged six or seven, had a braid, her worn clothes didn't fit, and her sleeves were dragged long. The little girl supported the old man and walked towards the table that was closest to the outside. The old man stretched out the broken bowl in his hand and begged for the three tea lovers on the table.
One of the men was extremely impatient. After driving away several times, he saw that the old man still did not leave, he stretched out his arm and pushed the grandparents and grandchildren to the ground.
"The beggar is a badass, which has ruined my joy. Don't you want to live anymore?"
The man was still not satisfied, so he stood up, raised his feet and stepped on the little girl's head.
"stop!"
With a loud shout, the boy in black flew up, jumped over three tables, and kicked the man away in the air. After landing, he reached out to help the little girl with a terrified face and hugged him in his arms.
"You are so domineering. You just ignore me if you beg for me, but you even have to hurt someone. A disabled elderly man and a young girl, can you do it too? I, Chen Lin, will never..."
Before the boy finished speaking, his eyes suddenly opened wide and he looked at the girl in his arms incredibly.
The girl with a braided braid was looking at him with a smile. The girl pinched Chen Lin's throat with her left hand and put her five fingers together in a knife shape. A piece of finger was inserted into his chest. Seeing the boy's face full of shock, the blood at the corner of his mouth could not stop flowing down until it dripped on his chest, converging with the blood stains on the wound on his chest, and then flowed along the girl's arms.
At the same time, the tea lovers who were originally drinking tea and chatting on each table stood up and rushed towards the escort team at lightning speed.
In the flash, except for the table where Chen Zhen was sitting, more than a dozen other people in the escort team were attacked. Unpredictable, several escorts died directly on the spot, and the rest retreated to Chen Zhen's side.
The killers with different outfits did not pursue them, but surrounded the grandparents and grandchildren.
"Mr. Chen has been tilting his head for a long time. I heard that this kid is a single biography of your Chen family. Do you want the blood of your Chen family, or that account book?"
The lame old man threw away the wooden stick, stood up and sat on a bench, patted the dust on his body, looked at Chen Zhen, who was still sitting upright at the table, and spoke with a smile.
"I guess you are the old man in the mountain. I have heard that the old man in the mountain has been famous for a long time. He killed countless people and never failed to take action. Today, I disguised myself as a small Zhennan Escort Agency. I have spent all these thoughts. Chen feels honored. The dog son is young and has little experience in the martial arts world. He said that he deserves it. The sign of the 70-year-old Zhennan Escort Agency of my Zhennan Escort Agency can naturally not be destroyed by him, a young boy. Shannan, take action, Chen kills all you and avenges him."
