I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

At this moment, Zeyu walked in from outside the door.

I saw him holding a chicken in his left hand and a bag of condiments in his right hand.

There must be a gesture of doing something.

"You boy, I told you not to leave, now, this chicken is bought back. You have to eat it if you don't want to eat it!"

Zeyu's tone was firm.

Cao Xiong exhaled. "I'd better go, I will hurt you here!"

"We men stand upright, so we are not afraid of getting hurt by you!"

Zeyu looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

"By the way, I've bought all the chickens. I have to add [-] yuan to the IOU for a while... Let's say you have [-]...[-] yuan, let's sign it!"

Got it!

Dare Lover is still thinking about Cao Xiong's IOU.

Running away at this time, it seems that Cao Xiong is a ruffian and a rascal.

"All right!"

Cao Xiong shook his head and agreed.

I was also a little hungry, thinking that I would eat soon, so I left.

Wan'er was very happy when she heard Cao Xiong eating here, jumping up and down.

He repeatedly gave thumbs up to his brother Zeyu.

For some reason, Wan'er has a good impression of Cao Xiong.

Perhaps because of saving him, the 12-year-old girl gradually felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

Take advantage of Zeyu's cooking time.

Cao Xiong found a pen and paper, and wrote an IOU neatly.

In the amount owed, it was intentionally left blank.

After all, it saved his life.

In Cao Xiong's eyes, this life-saving grace is priceless. As for how much Zeyu and Wan'er want to fill, the fifth son, Cao Xiong, must have it all!

Looking up, I saw that Zeyu was frying vegetables profusely in sweat in the kitchen.

A busy and happy look.

Cao Xiong only felt that in troubled times, the common people really didn't want much, nothing more than a big meal and family reunion.

On the contrary, he, Cao Xiong, is a bit idle now.

He simply chatted with Wan'er.

It turns out that Wan'er and Zeyu are brothers and sisters. When they were young, the war in the north killed their homeland.

Both of their parents died.

Brothers and sisters can only rely on each other to make a living.

After much difficulty, they landed in Nanpi City.

The older brother Zeyu survived by harvesting some rapeseed flowers. Although he didn't earn much, it was enough for the siblings to make a living.

Zeyu takes good care of Wan'er, like a madman who spoils his sister.Never let my sister Wan'er suffer a little bit of grievance.

It's just that to others, it is famously stingy, penny-pinching, and a little narrow-minded.

Hearing this, Cao Xiong secretly made up his mind.

If they can return to Yecheng, the current situation of Wan'er and Zeyu must be changed.

When Zeyu is cooking chicken, Wan'er will also help him.

Cao Xiong felt that it was a different kind of warmth.

Chapter 237 IOUs

Soon.

Zeyu's three chicken dishes are done.

After wiping off his sweat, Zeyu ordered his younger sister to put together some worn-out chairs.Only then did the "Spicy Chicken Head", "Saliva Chicken" and "Nanpi Drunken Chicken Soup" be presented.

Wan'er was drooling while applauding.

Zeyu talked about how amazing his cooking is!

It feels like a family celebrating the New Year!

Wan'er asked Cao Xiong to sit on the bed, while she and Zeyu squatted on the ground, ready to enjoy the delicious food.

Cao Xiong handed the prepared IOU to Zeyu.

Zeyu looked at it, pointed to the two characters on the signature and asked, "Is this your name?"

"Yes, Cao Xiong!"

Zeyu nodded: "The IOU is well written!"

After all, he lowered his head and put all the delicious parts of the chicken into his sister Wan'er's bowl, for fear that Cao Xiong would steal the best part of the chicken.

"Brother! You can't read! How can I write this IOU?"

Wan'er smiled slightly, pointing at Zeyu.

His hands were not idle, he put these delicious food into Cao Xiong's bowl again.

Zeyu made a face towards Wan'er.

Cao Xiong shook his head.

"He can't read the blank space of this amount at all. It seems that he really can't read the characters!"

Wan'er quietly said to Cao Xiong:

"Brother Zeyu is just very talkative. He won't ask for money with an IOU at all. Don't worry!"

Cao Xiong smiled slightly, not because he cared about the money, but because of the simplicity of the siblings.

Just as I was about to move my chopsticks, I heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Tatata!

Tatata!

Many people, very messy footsteps!

From far to near.

"Not good!" Cao Xiong sighed secretly, frowning slightly.

A bad premonition suddenly struck.

Followed by a roaring sound outside the door.

"Have you ever seen a 15-year-old boy who is so tall and has a handsome face?"

Cao Xiong couldn't be more familiar with this voice!

Hou Cheng!

He actually chased here himself.

"No...no!"

Boom!

When he heard a negative answer, the person being interrogated was pushed heavily to the ground.

……

Zeyu glanced at Cao Xiong.

Judging from Cao Xiong's expression, most of these people came for him!

Zeyu asked tentatively.

"who are they?"

"A group of bandits!"

Hearing the word bandit, Zeyu's cheeks twitched obviously.

He thought of himself and Wan'er's parents, who were killed by a group of bandits who broke into the village suddenly.

Thanks to hiding in the dark pavilion, he and Wan'er saved their lives.

Zeyu asked again: "Who caught you?"

"En! Hand me over to them, and you will probably get a lot of money!"

There is nothing to hide now, Cao Xiong replied truthfully.

Zeyu let out a "hum".

"Who do you think I am, Zeyu? I took your IOU and handed you over to someone else to receive a reward? I still can't do such a despicable and shameless thing."

Wan'er looked anxious.

"Brother Zeyu, what should we do?"

Zeyu got up quickly and pushed the bed away, only to see a secret door behind the bed.

Open the secret door, there is a space that can accommodate two people.

This is what Zeyu's parents told them. Whenever there is a house, you need to build a secret pavilion first!

In this troubled world, a secret room may mean a life!

"You two, go in..."

Zeyu spoke in a tone of command.

"Brother Zeyu, just let him in, I'll accompany you!" Wan'er didn't want to go in.

Zeyu seemed to think of something.

"Come in!"

As he spoke, he pushed Wan'er inside.

Cao Xiong looked at Zeyu, seeing him hesitate to speak.

"You...you can..."

"You go in for me! You are dead, who will I ask for money!"

Zeyu pushed Cao Xiong in, and closed the secret door.

Quickly pushed the bed back.

Then sat on the bed and ate alone.

Chapter 238 The Dark Pavilion

Cao Xiong and Wan'er were pushed into the dark cabinet, the secret cabinet is not well built, as long as the bed is pushed away, it is easy to find.

In the dark pavilion, through the gap, one can faintly see the situation outside.

I saw a group of shirtless men rushing in quickly.

Among them, one person walked out, it was Hou Cheng.
