Mythology Starts with Childish Skills

After entering the Chen family's mansion, Meng Zhao discovered that it was actually a house with a large area. According to the layout, it should be four courtyards. It can be regarded as an upper-middle-class house. It can feed dozens of people and maintain the house. The daily life of the house is decent.

However, at this time, the Chen family's mansion felt desolate and dilapidated everywhere. Not only was the general environment deserted, but it was also cold, even cold, and overgrown with weeds. There were traces of various filth on the surface of the courtyard walls that had not been cleaned up. Reason, the decay is visible to the naked eye.

The lame old man walked forward without saying a word. Although he was dragging a residual leg, he was holding a sharp spear that had been cut into half. He was not slow and soon led Meng Zhao and the others to a room in the middle courtyard. In a big house.

The door of this room is wide open, with white and black memorial notices on both sides of the door. White lanterns are hung high, giving a little more light to the originally dark environment. The illuminated room is bright, and it can be vaguely seen that it is arranged like a mourning hall.

Before a few people could get close to the house, a yellow-haired native dog sprang out of the house. His teeth were already quite old, and his spirit was obviously tired and weak. However, facing the unfamiliar Meng Zhao and the other three, he still grinned and showed a strong expression of anger. Vigilance, even aggression.

Following the yellow dog ran out, a little boy of about seven or eight years old, dressed in mourning clothes, with a white cloth belt wrapped around his head, walked out with a scabbard in his hand, and hugged the yellow dog that was barking.

After all, it is a loyal dog that protects its owner. After the little boy hugged his neck, the dog just muffled its head and choked, but never barked again. It was a bit spiritual.

Look at this little boy again. He has a tiger-like head and big eyes. He is very upright and lovable.

However, his face was stern, with a maturity that was very different from his age, and he looked at Meng Zhao and the other three with hostility.

"Grandpa Jiang, who are they?"

The lame old man looked at the boy with his only remaining eye, feeling distressed and relieved at the same time, and said softly,

"He's from outside. He heard about the master and was impressed by his chivalry, so he came here to offer incense."

The little boy breathed a sigh of relief and his expression softened a lot. He stood up, held the sword in front of his chest and saluted, and said,

"So that's it. Since we are here to pay homage to our late father, we are friends. Come with Chen Tai."

He is serious and serious, and although he feels a bit like a young adult, he is also somewhat magnanimous. What's even better is that at a young age, this boy has a good foundation in martial arts, which may not be advanced, but he has also entered the true tradition.

Judging from the fact that his originally tender right palm is covered with stiff calluses, he must have been holding and practicing swords for many years. I am afraid that he was initiated into martial arts training when he was five or six years old, which is really good.

Meng Zhao showed admiration. Although he came with the intention of taking advantage of the Chen family's mother and son, he had no intention of harming the Chen family's mother and son. On the contrary, if he was a talented person, it would be worthy of his conscience to be kind to her.

From what he has observed so far, this boy from the Chen family is pretty good. He is mature enough in the face of big changes and has the courage to fight tooth and nail. At the same time, he practices martial arts hard enough. If his qualifications are not bad, he should be able to accomplish something.

When they entered the mourning hall, they saw a woman with a delicate appearance and a pale face, kneeling on the left side of the lower part of the mourning hall, with a hint of sadness.

There is no makeup on her face, and her face is bare. She is not too old, but she looks thin and weak due to mental exhaustion and poor diet.

Dressed as a widow, she was sprinkling paper money into the burning brazier and muttering something in her mouth.

Meng Zhao's ears were so strong that he heard that the woman was asking for help from her deceased husband, hoping that his spirit in heaven could protect her son from this disaster, and that he could once again carry the banner of the Chen family and let people know that the swordsman of the Chen family was still alive in the world.

It’s not that you are really ignorant, but that after seeing through the reality, you can only place your hope in illusory ghosts and gods.

She is also a woman who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. She is thinking about the life and death of her son, but she doesn't care about her own safety. With a good wife and son like this, Chen Sheng can rest in peace even under the drinking fountain.

Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Meng Zhao followed the rules before the funeral and bowed respectfully three times to Chen Sheng's tablet, and offered two sticks of incense for himself and Gu Simonan. This person can be regarded as one of the few people who sincerely paid homage to him for so long. One of the people.

Due to his own situation, temperament and other factors, Meng Zhao was definitely not a good person in his two lives, but this did not prevent him from liking and appreciating knights like Chen Sheng, because it was the existence of such a person that made people This world is full of fame and wealth, blood, conspiracy, and betrayal, but there is so much warmth in it.

After paying homage to the Kunnan swordsman, Meng Zhao did not leave, but slowly came to the Chen family's mother and son, bowed slightly, and said in a deep voice to the two of them,

"Mrs. Chen, little brother Chen, I also know something about your current situation.

Chen Sheng is a heroic hero. His widow and descendants should not be bullied like this, nor should they be threatened by evil heretics. I admire Chen Sheng for his chivalrous act, and I am willing to help you. I don’t know you two. how about? "

Meng Zhao could clearly see that the Chen family mother and son, including the only remaining lame old man, were at the end of their rope. They were both cheerful people themselves, so they could not be sneaky or annoying when dealing with this situation.

Since you are determined to use Chen Sheng's brand and connections to do things, instead of being secretive, it is better to get straight to the point and explain your intention directly.

He is not a nefarious person, he just wants to expand the power of the Lingwu Meng family here. For him and the Chen family, cooperation is a win-win situation.

Sure enough, Mrs. Chen Liu's eyes lit up immediately, with a hint of hope rising in her beautiful eyes, but also with some anxiety and caution, and said,

"Young Master is quick to speak, and he is willing to help my Chen family. The young lady is very grateful, but please clarify one point.

Could it be that Young Master really just wants to help without asking for anything in return?

In addition, although the young master wants to help, does he know what kind of enemies and opponents the little woman faces? "

The woman was really very ardent, longing for someone to reach out and help the Chen family, at least to save Chen Tai, the only one, and not to let Chen Sheng die.

Now that Meng Zhao has descended from the sky, most people may have agreed with tears and shouts, and they are even more grateful to Meng Zhao.

After all, it’s the only life-saving rope. When things come to an end, why should we care about anything else?

However, she was still able to remain sober and rational. In addition to detecting intentions, she could also warn of crises, which made Meng Zhao sigh in his heart. Even if such a woman could not be called a hero among women, she could still be regarded as a model of a good wife and mother.

Naturally, the situation that can force her to cry out to the sky and the earth, and lament in the street, must be extremely serious.

However, these problems are not a problem at all to Meng Zhao.

The person Chen Sheng offended was not the entire Kunnan County, and the person who wanted to attack the Chen family's mother and son was not a arrogant demon like Tao Tian Daozi.

What is he afraid of?
