Chapter 63: Before Departure
The sky is getting darker.
Chen's mother lit the candle, then pulled down the rolling gate and complained:
"The business is getting worse and worse now, and few people come to eat."
"What else do you want? Now I don't know how many people are unemployed. It's good to make a little profit." Chen Dawei put down the dishes, wiped his hands on the apron, and said.
"I don't know why today, my eyes are always pounding and my heart is panicked. Do you think there will be problems with those loans? It will be bad if I can't collect them."
The Jiangnan region has always been accustomed to business and private underground finance has flourished. The income obtained by investing in it is often much higher than that of banks. Chen Shouyi's family naturally invested the excess money.
"If you take it back another day, the loss of some interest will be a small amount of money. I don't know when the situation will recover now? The risk is a bit too great!" Chen Dawei said a little worried.
"When the daylily will get it cold another day, I will get it back tomorrow." Chen's mother said immediately. She has always been very motivated.
As she said that, she walked to the entrance of the stairs and shouted loudly: "You two are stuck in the room and don't eat anymore? You even have to urge them to eat, so why don't you get down quickly."
...
In the darkness, Chen Shouyi opened his eyes, changed into black clothes and black pants, picked up the long sword on the table, and opened the door.
At this time, the door next door also opened, and Chen Xingyue's eyes turned red and she walked out.
In just a few hours, she became much haggard.
"Brother, you..." She was surprised to see the sword in Chen Shouyi's hand.
She was both surprised by his brother's decisiveness and also wondered the origin of the sword.
"There are already monitoring people outside. They may kill people at that time. Are you afraid?" Chen Shouyi said calmly: "As for how this sword came about, don't ask so much."
"Brother, I'm not afraid, they all deserve to die!" Chen Xingyue was stunned and then said coldly.
It seemed as if she remembered two friends who died tragically, tears overflowed in her eyes. Soon she turned around and went back to the room, and took her alloy sword.
...
The two walked down the stairs one after another.
"What are you doing with the sword?" Chen Dawei saw the two of them and said in a daze: "And Shouyi, when did you buy this sword?"
Chen Xingyue didn't say anything.
"Dad, have a meal first, I'll tell you later." Chen Shouyi squeezed out a smile.
It was still Chen's mother who was careful. She noticed that her daughter's eyes were swollen and her face was gloomy. Her son also smiled reluctantly, so she said. In addition, she was holding a sword in her hand, and she suddenly felt an ominous premonition. She said with a dark face:
"You beast, what did you do to your sister? If you don't explain it clearly, you won't have to eat this food!"
It’s not that Chen’s mother is suspicious. Anyone who sees the expressions of the two will think about this.
Where is this?
Even at this moment, Chen Shouyi felt murderous intent in his heart, and when he heard Chen's mother scolding, he couldn't help but open his mouth in shock.
On the other side, Chen Dawei no longer smiled and asked with a serious look on his face: "Shouyi, have you really done this kind of thing?"
"Dad, mom, what are you talking about?" Chen Xingyue couldn't help but say angrily.
"Then why are you holding the sword?" Seeing Chen Xingyue's reaction, Chen's mother finally felt that she had misunderstood and said a little embarrassedly.
Chen Shouyi was covered in black lines and felt that he could not say this clearly. He could not eat this food. He looked at the closed rolling gate and said seriously:
"My parents, something big happened."
Influenced by Chen Shouyi's solemn expression, Chen's mother and Chen Dawei couldn't help but feel a little shocked when they heard it. Chen Dawei asked quickly: "What happened?"
"So many people died nearby today, you should know!"
The two nodded immediately. This matter had been in full swing nearby, so how could they not know?
"Xingyue was also among them, but she was lucky enough to escape. Later, she called the police and leaked the information. In the afternoon, someone started to monitor it outside." Chen Shouyi briefly talked about the cause and effect of the matter.
"Tonight, we must leave Dongning City!"
When Chen's mother saw Chen Xingyue, she was a little panicked. No matter how shrewd and capable she was, she was still an ordinary person: "How come there is such a lawless person, can't you call the police?"
"It's useless to call the police. You can take care of it for a while, but you can't take care of it for a lifetime. They are all crazy." Chen Shouyi vetoed without hesitation, and then looked at Chen Dawei: "Dad, there's enough oil in the car."
"Enough! Enough! I haven't driven it after adding fuel last time, and it's okay to run hundreds of kilometers."
Chen Dawei felt that in front of his wife and children, he could not seem so useless. He reluctantly calmed down and said, "It is true that we should leave Dongning City. If we should give up, we should give up. The safety of the family is more important than anything else. At worst, we can live a hard life."
"But what should I do if the surveillance person?" Chen's mother asked worriedly again.
"Mom, let them leave it to me to solve it." Chen Shouyi said with a calm expression.
As he said that, he instantly drew out his sword, and only heard a "clang" sound, like a flash of lightning. Before the two of them could see clearly, the sword had already been inserted back into the scabbard.
The next moment, a corner of the dining table suddenly broke away from the table, and under the gravity of the earth, it fell straight to the ground, making a crisp sound.
There was a silence all around.
Chen Xingyue widened her eyes and looked surprised. In the afternoon, she already felt that his brother was very strong, but she never expected that he would be so strong.
Even she couldn't see clearly what he had inserted into the scabbard.
"Brother, you... are you a warrior now?" she couldn't help asking.
"Absolutely!" Chen Shouyi said.
At this time of crisis, he no longer cared about hiding his strength. The stronger he performed, the more at ease his parents would be.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Chen's mother and Chen Dawei looked at each other and then at Chen Shouyi, feeling that they didn't know their son.
"Shouyi, are you really a warrior?" Chen's mother said in disbelief.
Facing the excited gazes of the two, Chen Shouyi nodded.
That's not considered bragging, at least his physical fitness has long exceeded the standards of a warrior.
Chen's mother was excited when she heard this, and she temporarily let go of her heart. The strength of the warriors had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Each of them was a noble figure, and there were not many in Dongning City.
She turned and began to worry about other aspects: "At that time, don't kill people impulsively."
"Don't worry, mom, I just knocked them out." Although Chen Shouyi had already been murderous, he still said so in order to reassure his parents.
Chen Dawei came to his senses and quickly interrupted:
"Now is not the time to chat, eat first!"
“Yes, yes, and luggage.”
...
The atmosphere was a little depressing when eating. No one had any appetite for eating except Chen Shouyi.
Chen's mother took a few quick bites and immediately pulled Chen Dawei to pack her luggage.
I can't afford to give up my family's wealth, not to mention that I will be able to come back this time, so many things will be taken away.
More than ten minutes later, the two of them walked downstairs with big bags and small bags.
"I have collected all your clothes for you. Shouyi, why are there still a bow under your bed?"
"Mom, don't ask, I'll explain to you then." Chen Shouyi said with a headache.
Chen Xingyue looked at the exaggerated giant bow and a large number of practical arrows in her father's hand. She turned her head and looked at Chen Shouyi as if she was looking at a monster.
Brother, what have you been doing secretly lately?
"Mom, have you taken my briefcase?" Chen Shouyi suddenly remembered something and asked quickly.
"Take it and stuff it into your backpack with your clothes!"
What?
Chen Shouyi's face was stunned and his scalp was numb. He immediately put down the bowl and walked over quickly and said, "Mom, I'd better take it, see if there is anything else I don't bring!"
Soon, he took the backpack and felt that it was bulging inside, obviously full of things.
Shell Girl won’t be crushed to death, right?
He carried everyone on his back, quickly opened his backpack, kept taking out his clothes from it, and finally took out a briefcase that had been severely crushed below in fear.
He took a secret breath and unzipped the zipper.
Looking at the figure of the Shell Girl who was still safe and sound despite being squeezed by her briefcase, he let out a sigh of relief.
