Dawn of a New Era

It was getting dark.

After Mother Chen lit the candles, she pulled down the shutter and complained:

The business is getting worse and worse now, and few people come to eat.

What do you want to do? I don't know how many people are unemployed now. It would be nice to earn a little money. Chen Dawei put down the dishes, wiped his hands on the apron, and said.

I don't know why today, my eyelids are always twitching, and my heart is flustered. Do you think there may be something wrong with those loans? It will be bad if you can't get them back.

The Jiangnan area has been heavy on business since ancient times, and private underground finance is prosperous, and the income obtained from investing in it is often much higher than the bank interest. Naturally, Chen Shouyi's family also invested the extra money in it.

Then why don't you take it back another day? Losing some interest is a small amount of money after all. I don't know when this situation will recover? The risk is too great! Chen Dawei was also a little worried.

I'll go and get it back tomorrow when the daylilies are cold in another day. Mother Chen said immediately, she has always been very active.

As she said that, she went to the stairs and shouted loudly: You two are bored in the room and don't eat? You even have to rush to eat, why don't you come down quickly.

...

In the dark, Chen Shouyi opened his eyes, changed into black clothes and pants, picked up the long sword on the table, and opened the door.

At this moment, the door next door opened, and Chen Xingyue came out with red eyes.

In just a few hours, she became a lot haggard and calm a lot.

Brother, you... She said in surprise when she saw the sword in Chen Shouyi's hand.

She was amazed at his brother's decisiveness, but also puzzled about the origin of the sword.

There are already people watching outside, and 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 many questions.

Brother, I'm not afraid, they all deserve to die! Chen Xingyue was startled, then said coldly.

As if thinking of two friends who died tragically, tears welled up in her eyes, and soon she turned around and went back to the room, also taking her alloy sword.

...

The two walked down the stairs one after the other.

What are you doing with your swords? Chen Dawei said in a daze when he saw the two of them, And Shouyi, when did you buy this sword?

Chen Xingyue did not speak.

Dad, eat first, and I'll tell you about it later. Chen Shouyi squeezed out a smile.

Mother Chen was still careful, she noticed that her daughter's eyes were red and swollen, her face was gloomy, and her son's smile was forced, so Gu Zuo said it. Coupled with the fact that he was still holding a sword in his hand, he suddenly had an ominous premonition:

What did you do to your sister? If you don't tell me clearly, you won't have to eat this meal!

It's no wonder Chen's mother is suspicious, anyone who sees the expressions of the two will think about it.

Where is this?

Even though Chen Shouyi's heart was full of murderous intent at this moment, he opened his mouth in astonishment when he heard Chen's mother scold him.

On the other side, Chen Dawei also lost his smile, and asked with a serious face: Shouyi, you...

Dad, Mom, what are you talking about? Chen Xingyue couldn't help but angrily said.

Then what are you doing with your swords? Seeing Chen Xingyue's reaction, Mother Chen finally felt as if she had misunderstood, and suddenly said in embarrassment

Chen Shouyi's head was full of black lines. He felt that if he didn't speak clearly, the meal would be too much to eat. He looked at the closed rolling gate, and said with a serious face:

Mom and Dad, something serious happened.

Affected by Chen Shouyi's dignified expression, Chen's mother and Chen Dawei couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat. Chen Dawei quickly asked, What happened?

So many people died nearby today, you should know!

The two nodded immediately. This matter had already been spread like a raging fire nearby, so how could the two of them not know.

Xingyue was originally among them, but she escaped luckily. Later, she called the police and leaked the information. In the afternoon,

Someone started watching outside. Chen Shouyi roughly explained the cause and effect of the incident.

Tonight, we must leave Dongning City!

Mother Chen also nodded when she saw Chen Xingyue, she panicked, no matter how smart and capable she is, she is still an ordinary person: Why is there such a lawless person, why can't they call the police?

Calling the police is useless. It can be managed for a while, but not forever. They are all lunatics. Chen Shouyi vetoed without hesitation, and then looked at Chen Dawei: Dad, there is still enough gas in the car.

Enough! Enough! I haven't driven since I filled up the gas last time. It's still no problem to run a few hundred kilometers.

Chen Dawei felt that he couldn't appear so useless in front of his wife and children, so he managed to calm down and said, It is true that we should leave Dongning City, and we should give up as much as we can, the safety of the family is more important than anything else, the worst is to live a hard life.

But what about the watchers? Mother Chen asked again worriedly.

Mom, let me handle them. Chen Shouyi said calmly.

As he spoke, he pulled out his long sword in an instant, only to hear a soft Zheng sound, like a flash of lightning, and before the two 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 fell straight to the ground under the force of gravity, making a crisp sound.

There was a sudden silence all around.

Chen Xingyue's eyes widened with astonishment. In the afternoon, she had already faintly felt that his brother was very strong, but she never expected it to be so strong.

Even she couldn't see clearly what he inserted into the scabbard.

Brother, you... are you a warrior now? She couldn't help asking.

Almost! Chen Shouyi said.

At this critical moment, he no longer cared about concealing his strength. The stronger he was at this time, the more at ease his parents would be.

Listening to their conversation, mother of Chen and Chen Dawei glanced at each other and then at Chen Shouyi, as if they didn't know their son.

Shouyi, are you really a warrior? Mother Chen said in disbelief.

Facing the excited eyes of the two, Chen Shouyi nodded.

It's not bragging to say that, at least his physical fitness has already far exceeded the standard of a warrior.

Mother Chen's face was excited when she heard this, and she temporarily let go of her original concerns. The power of warriors has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Each of them is a high-ranking and important person, and there are not many in Dongning City.

She turned to worry about other aspects: When the time comes, don't kill people impulsively.

Don't worry, Mom, I just knocked them out. Although Chen Shouyi had already had murderous intentions in his heart, he still said this to reassure his parents.

Chen Dawei came back to his senses, and interrupted quickly:

Now is not the time to chat, eat first!

Yes, yes, and luggage.

...

The atmosphere during the meal was a bit oppressive, except for Chen Shouyi, no one had much appetite to eat.

Mother Chen took a few bites in a hurry, and immediately pulled Chen Dawei to pack her luggage.

It's hard to let go of the family's wealth, not to mention leaving this time, I don't know when I will come back, and I have to take a lot of things away.

Ten minutes later, the two of them walked downstairs carrying big and small bags.

I've collected all your clothes for you, Shouyi, why do you still have a bow under your bed?

Mom, stop asking. I'll explain to you later. Chen Shouyi said with a headache.

Chen Xingyue looked at the exaggeratedly long bow in her father's hand and a lot of actual combat arrows. 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, did you take my briefcase? Chen Shouyi suddenly remembered something and asked quickly.

Take it, put it in your backpack with your clothes!

What?

Chen Shouyi's face was stunned, and his scalp felt numb for a while. He immediately put down the bowl, walked over quickly and said, Mom, let me get it, and see if there is anything else I haven't brought!

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 the backpack, took out clothes from inside continuously, and finally took out a briefcase that had been severely squashed from underneath in fear.

He took a deep breath and jerked the zipper open.

Seeing Shell Girl's terrified face squeezed by the briefcase, but still safe and sound, he let out a sigh of relief.

It really scared me to death.
