I hang up for retirement in the martial arts world

Chapter 53
The men returning from the battlefield caused a sensation in the city.

As soon as the nearby residents received the letter, they immediately summoned their neighbors with gongs and drums, one word to ten, ten to one hundred, and then the whole Ninghe County fell into an atmosphere of joy and encouragement.

There were crowds of people at the gate of the city, and when Chen Yi lined up to accompany Qian Hong in the show, it even drew thunderous cheers from the audience.

The remaining 690 seven people received a full house of applause.

This cheering lasted for more than half a moment, so that the mourning mixed in it was like a needle, sinking into the sea without a sound.

After a lot of excitement, you will eventually have to face endless funeral affairs.

After Chen Yi handed over the people, he did not return home immediately.

He also wants to send some dead spirits back to their own homes.

The sky was cloudy, and there was a continuous autumn rain falling in the city.

In a slightly old alley, the road is slightly muddy.

Several know-it-alls in the city led Chen Yi and his party to the door of a small courtyard.
"Second Master, this road is not smooth, please walk carefully!"

One person bent down and raised his hand with a flattering face, reminding Chen Yi.

"Several military lords~ come here, this is Chen Yuquan's home." There were still two people at the side following suit.

"Well, go up and call the door."

Chen Yi nodded slightly, and looked up at the small courtyard.

The yard looks quite dilapidated, and it must have experienced a lot of wind and frost.

Among them, a young man called Xiangfeng heard the sound and went to call the door.

He stood in front of the door carelessly, and called out loudly: "Is anyone there? The sister-in-law of the Chen family has a visitor!"

At the same time, the door of the small courtyard was shot loudly.

After a while, the old wooden door was half opened with creaking noises, revealing a vigilant face.

After Chen Yi and others said that they came from the Yijun camp, they were invited into the courtyard by this woman, and then they closed the door tightly.

After entering the house, he offered several cups of tea very politely.

The woman just asked, "I don't know why the military masters came here. It should not be the time to collect taxes yet?"

This is a beautiful young lady named Xu Xiuniang.

About [-] years old, wearing a slightly old plain clothes, looking quite dignified and beautiful, a word can make everyone look at each other, not knowing how to speak.

"It's not a tax collection, it's the rebel battalion coming back."

Xiang Feng smiled wryly and said, "Sister-in-law of the Chen family, did you not go out today?"

Xu Xiuniang trembled slightly when she heard the words, as if feeling something in her heart.

She didn't answer, but just looked at Chen Yi and the others at the side.

The one who cast it was a look full of worry and hope, which made Chen Yi feel uncomfortable.

"Brother Chen." A deep voice sounded, halfway through the conversation, he hesitated to speak.

Although Xu Xiuniang hadn't spoken yet, Xu Xiuniang had already guessed a little bit, and her pretty face turned a little pale, but she still stared at Chen Yi, like a little beast who was unwilling.

Although he couldn't bear it, under the gaze, he still told the truth helplessly: "He died in Changning Pass, and we brought back the relics."

"Please forgive me!"

Everyone was silent.
Xu Xiuniang, whose hope was shattered, stood there as if she had lost her soul.

Chen Yi could clearly see that she was trembling all over, and the slender hands clenched into fists, showing white knuckles. After slowly taking the relics, he reluctantly made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

It wasn't until Chen Yi and his party left that there was a faint choking sound from inside the door, which turned into a wail after a while.
This is the No. 13 family that everyone came to visit.

It was not until the evening that the group ended this unbearable journey.

Chen Yi was already exhausted.

This is not physical fatigue, but unbearable inner torture and self-blame.

Right now he is extremely manic, like a powder keg that is about to explode.

He wished that a few barbarians would appear in front of him and ask him to take his corpse to pieces. Compared to facing those sad eyes, he would rather fight for his life on the battlefield every day.

On the way back, Chen Yi rode on the horse and was unhappy.

The two brothers on the side also stopped pretending to be cold and comforted them from time to time.

Until two pairs of familiar drum-holding stones came into view
The group is finally home!
Everything in front of me is so friendly, and I can hear someone shouting from the house from afar.
"I'm back! The second master is back!"

"Go and report to the old lady."

There are people waiting in front of the door.

As soon as he saw the figure of the person coming, he immediately dispatched several people to report to the mansion, and the rest rushed forward to take all the horses and luggage.

Among them was Zhou Feiyu.

Seeing him rushing up and around Chen Yi, there was a burst of greetings, his chirping words matched with his figure of only twelve or thirteen years old, like a big magpie, swept away some of Chen Yi's troubles at once.

After a while, Chen Yi impatiently interrupted the words of the people around him: "Stop arguing, stop arguing, take me to see my mother."

He strode into the house.

Wherever he went along the road, a group of people gathered in surprise to greet him, which made him feel strange who hadn't had such treatment for a long time.

In the blink of an eye, it has reached the entrance of the main hall.

In the hall, Mother Chen is at the top.

Sitting on the grand teacher's chair, she was neither excited nor got up to greet her, her face was extremely indifferent, her left hand was behind her back.

Chen Yi, who was far away from the door of the hall, saw this scene, and felt something was wrong in his heart.

He immediately changed his face, and instantly turned into a flattering smile.

Then bent over and ran quickly, went to the front of the hall and knelt down with a plop, and came to pay respects. It was like the little eunuch in the palace met the emperor.

He even shouted loudly: "Mother! The baby is back!"

Chen's mother's expression remained calm, and her body did not move.

She responded in a low tone: "Oh~ I still don't know who is the one who mobilizes the teachers in the front yard. It turns out that the unicorn from my Chen family has returned."

When Chen Yi, who was kneeling on the ground, heard this, his neck felt a chill, and he felt a sinister aura coming from the chief.

When he looked up.

I saw Mother Chen stood up unhurriedly, the left hand on her back had reached the front at some point.
That hand held an extremely thick cane!
"Mother."

Chen Yi gasped, and asked in a trembling voice, "What are you doing?"

"Humph"

Mother Chen sneered and said, "What can you do? What else can you do?"

"I just heard about it half a month ago that my unicorn was locked up in Changning for a while, and that was really awe-inspiring.
"I have pity on me, a woman and Taoist family. I worry every day at home and can't sleep at night. How are you doing? I haven't received a letter from home for half a month after the war, and I'm still in the army and don't want to leave?"

"Today, I'm going to teach you how to see my majesty!"

Chen Yi looked at the old lady who was approaching her step by step, got up in a panic and wanted to escape, and shouted: "Mother has something to say, don't get angry!"

"Get angry and hurt yourself!"

"what"

The brightly lit Chen Mansion.

From time to time, there was a faint scream, which made those who heard it silent.

It was night, in this huge Ninghe County.

I don't know which ones are happy and which ones are sad.
