Chapter 201 Stop at Flower Street
For a moment, Chen Yuan was dizzy and dizzy with all the questions in her head.

If the coffin can't be opened for autopsy, Mr. Sheng won't tell the truth, so we can only start with this longevity lock.

After making up her mind, Chen Yuan no longer struggled, put down the drawing board and began to eat seriously.

"Fire... a big fire... help, help..."

The weak cry for help came to Chen Yuan's ears, she looked at Zeng Yuzuo hesitantly, but the other party didn't respond at all, she thought she had heard it wrong.

"Help...ah~...fire...fire..."

The painful cries for help became louder and louder, and the emotions became more and more passionate.

Chen Yuan and Zeng Chi turned their heads at the same time and looked at Zeng Shuisheng, who was lying on the bed struggling and thrashing.

"I was so scared that senior brother had a nightmare?!"

Chen Yuan was about to be overwhelmed by guilt, she put down her chopsticks and ran straight to the Arhat bed, shaking Shui Sheng by the shoulder.

She knew that Shui Sheng fainted, but she really didn't know that the elder brother with high strength was so fragile in his heart that he could be frightened like this by a picture she drew.

Zeng Chi ran slowly in his old age.

When he rushed over, Zeng Shuisheng had already been shaken awake by Chen Yuan, and a pair of clear and bright eyes looked at the two people in front of the bed in confusion and ignorance, "I... I fainted again?"

Seeing his reaction, Chen Yuan and Zeng Chi just watched his reaction carefully, "Yes."

Facing the worried eyes of the senior junior sister, Zeng Shuisheng suddenly felt that the elder brother was completely embarrassed, and a blush appeared on his face.

Scratching her head shyly, "I, I'm not timid."

"It's just... I don't know why, when I saw the dead body, my mind went blank. I didn't know that I would get dizzy when I saw the small portrait drawn by my junior sister. I, am I too useless?"

In the end, Zeng Shuisheng was buried under the blanket, only a pair of watery eyes were left outside. It seemed that if the two of them said yes, he would cry out immediately.

Zeng Chi watched it very uncomfortable. He had said everything he should have said these years, but the kid really cared.

Zeng Shuisheng is well-behaved and sensible, and has practiced martial arts diligently since childhood.

Learning Wen and Wu to sell to the Emperor's family, Shui Sheng has always wanted to rely on this ability to let his grandfather live a good life. Zeng Chi was a coward, and Shui Sheng did not serve corvee, but after Wu Cheng he still secretly joined the army. But fell on the fainting corpse.

When suppressing the bandits, Zeng Shuisheng, who hadn't yet joined the battle, fainted when he saw the casualties of the forward team. If Zeng Chi hadn't had a bit of face in Weiyu County, the inspector Luo, who was ashamed in front of the bandits, could have killed him on the spot Sacrifice the flag and scolded him that he was not good enough, the barracks could not keep him, and Luo inspector directly carried the unconscious Zeng Shuisheng back to him.

So far, Shui Sheng can only work as a errand servant in the yamen. With his fault, no matter how skilled he is, he will never succeed in the yamen for a lifetime. A little scene of ridicule too.

This caused Zeng Shuisheng to keep blaming himself and not being confident, but he has an open-minded personality and does not hold grudges, and it is not easy to see that he has something on his mind.

Chen Yuan also learned about these situations from Zeng Chi. If she can't say a word well, it is likely to dampen the enthusiasm of the big brother.

She comforted her with some words, "I am born to be useful. Senior brother, you are a martial arts prodigy. No one in the county government can match your martial arts talent. God likes you to give you talent, and it is because of pity that you let you Faint corpse."

Zeng Shuisheng hid in the bed, and said in a muffled voice, "Junior Sister, you lied to me, God doesn't like me, and if he likes me, it makes me dizzy when I see a dead body? He obviously doesn't like me and hates me."

Eldest brother knew how to refute her, and Chen Yuan was not annoyed, "When did I lie to you? You should know that chivalrous use of martial arts is forbidden in the yamen. If you don't control it well, it's easy to commit murder, even if the other party is a heinous villain. You can't be killed if you are tried by the law of Nanli, but the other party will not resist during the arrest process. If you accidentally cause manslaughter, wouldn't it be a lawsuit? What do you ask grandfather to do? You want him to be a big Do you still go around begging for people for your age?"

Chen Yuan didn't use the case of the military camp as an example, fearing that the elder brother would lose face in the future.

Shui Sheng couldn't digest what Chen Yuan said for a while, only knew that he couldn't make any more trouble for his grandfather, so he said without thinking, "I don't want to."

"That's right, God made you faint to keep you away from high-risk and easy-to-kill things, so that grandfather doesn't have to worry too much about you, and you can go home every day to accompany him, so grandfather can live a long life in a good mood Jiujiu, don't you want your grandfather and my master to live a long life?"

Shui Sheng couldn't care less about being sad, she lifted the quilt and sat up, "Of course I want to."

The elder brother was really comforting, because he didn't ask much, Chen Yuan smiled brightly, "Look, how good God is to you, and you still misunderstand God's good intentions, so don't belittle yourself again in the future. "

"Junior Sister is right." Zeng Shuisheng thought about it, and it really was the same thing. If he was still in the barracks, he wouldn't be able to go home every day, and his grandfather must have worried about him every day.

If he performed well and was transferred to another military camp, he would have to be separated from his grandfather. It would be better if he could be with his grandfather every day as a government servant.

Chen Yuan also bullied Zeng Shuisheng who didn't understand such rhetoric as a man with ambitions in all directions. He is a filial child of the Gu family.

It was also the first time Zeng Chi saw his good grandson let go of his psychological burden so quickly, and touched Shui Sheng's head in relief, "Hurry up and eat, it's cold."

"Grandfather, I've made you worry again." Zeng Shuisheng quickly jumped out of bed and helped Zeng Chi to the dining table, not daring to make his grandfather wait any longer.

Chen Yuan looked at the grandparents and grandchildren enviously, such family affection is really warm.

I wanted to ask Shui Sheng what he had dreamed about, but after thinking about it, he gave it up. What is there to remember about the dream? It should be because he saw her painting and imagined the burned noodles of Sheng Dongyue's master and servant who were burned to death. Brothers will dream about related things.

Really not scared.

Chen Yuan sighed silently and followed.

After dinner, Chen Yuan wanted to go back to the yamen, but because of Shui Sheng's delay, it was dark now, Zeng Chi was worried about her safety, so he asked Shui Sheng to give her a ride.

Weiyu County is a small county on the border of Lingnan. Lingnan is adjacent to Jiuyue State in the west, and there are occasional Japanese pirates or pirates who come ashore to burn, kill and loot by the sea in the east. place of exile.

There are troops stationed inside and outside the city of Weiyu County to patrol and inspect, which is safe, but Chen Yuan also understands that he cannot be trusted, so he does not refuse.

Many shops doing daytime business along the way have already closed, but some shops have hung up lanterns, hoping to open their doors for a while to pick up a few more customers, but the number of pedestrians is decreasing at night.

The brightest light on the street comes from Baihualou, and the melodious sounds of silk and bamboo playing and singing continue to come from the store.

Occasionally, a man would stop and look inside, but in the end he didn't know whether it was due to his lack of money or family responsibilities, but the woman didn't dare to stop at the entrance of Baihualou, for fear that rumors would ruin her reputation.

Chen Yuan stepped down, and Shui Sheng followed her to stop in confusion, "Junior Sister, what are you going to do?"

Pedestrians saw that there were two people in soap clothes, and they both showed tacit smiles.

"Go to Zhou's Gold Shop." Chen Yuan was not interested in Baihualou, she just didn't expect that Zhou's Gold Shop was still open at this point, and she was not afraid of thieves robbing at night.
