Chapter 18 Crisis

Xu Luo took a deep breath, his expression didn't seem to change much, but his hands on the table suddenly tightened.

But the next moment, under the tremendous force, the hard stone table shattered into pieces like it was made of tofu and fell to the ground with a crash.

Xu Luo subconsciously bounced up, but the severe pain in his legs made him fall back to the stone bench involuntarily.

After Jin Zhengbo said what he meant, he seemed to be more open-minded and said in a deep voice.

"This is also the reason why I want to get started with Sisi as soon as possible. Legend has it that the bride in red has never made a move on a married woman.

After all, monsters and monsters are really too evil and vicious.

If something unexpected happens, I’m afraid it’ll be too late for you and me to regret it!”

When the paper sedan appeared outside his courtyard, Xu Luo actually had a bad feeling in his heart, but now it was just confirmed.

At this moment, the shadow of the green bamboo between the eyebrows suddenly flashed away.

Xu Luo felt a chill all over his body, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water on his head in the middle of winter, and his anxiety instantly calmed down.

Although he knew that no one else could see this green bamboo, Xu Luo still glanced at Jin Zhengbo guiltily.

Seeing that he didn't pay attention at all, he picked up the wooden crutch next to him and gently hit his left leg that was twisted into a weird angle.

There was a heart-wrenching crunching sound, and his left leg, which had been twisted into a weird angle, was pulled back by him.

Seeing Xu Luo's unmoved indifferent expression, Jin Zhengbo's eyes tightened, as if he was seeing another side of his brother for the first time.

After a long while, Xu Luo said in a deep voice.

"This matter ultimately depends on Sisi's own wishes. As the eldest brother, I will never wrong her in the slightest. I think..."

At this moment, there was a creaking sound at the courtyard door, and a graceful figure opened the door and walked in.

As soon as he saw the two people sitting opposite each other in the yard, a worried look appeared on Xu Si's pretty face and she exclaimed.

"Brother, you just woke up, why did you come back alone? But why do you feel uncomfortable?"

Xu Luo quickly smiled at her.

"It's okay. I just have this old problem. Don't you know better?"

Xu Si's face turned slightly gentle. He could see the scene of the stone table on the ground being torn apart, but he couldn't help showing an angry expression.

"What the hell are you two doing again?"

Xu Luo and Xu Luo looked at each other knowingly, with awkward smiles on their faces.

Jin Zhengbo couldn't help but stand up, his tall figure subconsciously shortened by half.

That is to say, there is no tail at the back, otherwise it would be wagging like a windmill.

Xu Luo coughed a few times unnaturally, but before he could speak, Jin Zhengbo on the side was already chuckling in an ingratiating manner.

"Sisi is back, um, um, I'm having a fist fight with my elder brother.

I accidentally got on top, got on top..."

Sisi, don’t blame brother, it’s all my fault, I couldn’t hold myself back for a while, I’ll give you a new one tomorrow!”

"Shut up! What does it have to do with you?"

Xu Si rolled her eyes at him angrily.

But the fleeting shame in the eyes that were rippling like water waves could not hide from Xu Luo's eyes.

For a moment, he felt bad all over.

It was as if I could see the cabbage that I had worked so hard to raise to be juicy and juicy, being humped by a big white pig!

Even that pig can actually be called a handsome man with dignified conduct.

Even though he knew that the two little ones were actually childhood sweethearts and they were in love with each other.

But whenever Xu Luo thinks about this, he always feels a little sad in his heart!

After Xu Si confirmed that Xu Luo was fine, he put the bamboo basket in his hand into the east kitchen and packed it up quickly.

He was complaining about Xu Luo and kept talking non-stop.

But the bamboo broom in his hand kept wandering around Jin Zhengbo, driving him around like a giant monkey.

Jin Zhengbo finally couldn't help but laugh bitterly.

"Lao Xu, I will leave first today!"

Xu Luo, who was sitting there like a fool, didn't have time to speak.

Xu Si was already waving his hands like he was shooing away flies.

"Then I won't send you away. It's almost lunch time, and Auntie may be looking for you everywhere!"

Xu Luo had a wry smile on his face, watching Jin Zhengbo, who had met his nemesis, slipping out of the courtyard as if running for his life.

As soon as the others left, Xu Si's cleaning movements slowed down.

She turned her back to Xu Luo and didn't say another word for a long while.

Xu Luo, who felt strange, looked at it carefully and saw that the little girl's delicate body was clearly trembling slightly.

He was stunned for a moment, then understood, and warmth filled his heart.

This girl is still so sharp-tongued and so heartless.

No wonder the little girl wanted to drive away that boy Jin Zhengbo as soon as she arrived. She suddenly fell into coma during the big ceremony. Is it possible that she thought that her old illness had relapsed and that there was something wrong with her body?

He picked up the wooden crutch, walked behind the little girl, and stretched his palms into the air.

But when he saw her apparently thin shoulders, Xu Luo suddenly felt a little sad for some reason.

He and Xu Si were both children picked up by Uncle Cui in Chaisangbo outside the castle, and they had no blood connection.

But for so many years, Xu Si has been silently taking care of this nominally disabled eldest brother without any complaints.

As the saying goes, there is no filial son in bed for a long time, let alone a brother and sister in name?

As if aware of Xu Luo's approach, Xu Si raised the bamboo broom in panic.

Pretending to be blinded by the sand, he stretched out his sleeves and wiped his face carelessly a few times, and then asked casually.

"Brother, do your legs still hurt when you wake up?"

Xu Luo slowly retracted his palm and forced a smile.

"It's okay, I've long been used to it! Maybe it was because some blood was drained during the Six Spirits Festival, so I fell asleep for a while.

I noticed it as soon as Zhengbo showed his head, and I almost gave him a hard blow!"

When he heard that he actually moved his hands, Xu Sicai was a little moved, but he still insisted.

"He deserves to be beaten. He doesn't want to go out when he's beaten, so he likes to climb walls?

I don’t know who I learned this bad habit from?”

Xu Luo always felt that something was wrong with this statement?

It didn't take long for Xu Si to clean up the yard and couldn't help but take out a herring weighing several kilograms from the bamboo basket.

With a bang, the little girl hit the fish on the head with her fist, and the big herring that was jumping around suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Xu Luo frowned slightly when he saw the big herring.

"At this time, Third Uncle actually went fishing in Chaisangbo again?"

Xu Si lowered his head and handled the herring with great skill, but he still couldn't help showing a worried look on his face.

"My third uncle also saw you when you fainted. Early this morning, he quietly left the castle and only told me to get the fish when he came back!"

Xu Luo's heart warmed slightly, and he was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed slightly and he looked in the direction of the mass grave outside the fort.



Even in broad daylight, with the sun shining in the sky, the mass graves outside the city look eerie.

Except for funerals and festivals, few people come here on weekdays.

There was a sparse forest next to the mass grave, and a huge tent was pitched under a few big trees.

There is a thin white mist surrounding it, which obscures the scenery in the forest.

Occasionally, birds and beasts accidentally scurry into the white mist, and they immediately seem to have lost their direction, spinning around in panic.

Those who were lucky enough to run out sullenly, but those who were not, uh, were put on the fire by bald old Qiu.
