In the cellar, Chen Zhong also heard the noise outside, and a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face.
Chen Zhong is just an honest and honest ordinary person. Everything he is living today is thanks to Miao Yuan. So when he heard the noise, he almost instinctively thought that the court had discovered that he was harboring Miao Yuan. His whole body almost
Scared to the point of fainting.
But when he saw Chen Kan being dragged into the cellar, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Kan'er!"
Miao Yuan looked at Chen Kan on the ground, and then at Chen Zhong. He chose Chen Zhong back then because he saw that Chen Zhong was honest and had no other thoughts, so he handed over such a secret hiding place to him.
Chen Zhong came to take care of it.
A few of them quietly entered Chen's house. It can be said that except for Chen Zhong, Chen Zhong's family members did not know about it. Even the daily food was brought quietly by Chen Zhong.
Among the several members of the Chen family, only Chen Zhong knew that they were hiding in this cellar.
What I didn't expect was that Chen Zhong's actions were still noticed by his son. After all, Chen Zhong himself was an honest and kind person, and he was a person who couldn't hide anything in his heart.
It would be really difficult for him to carefully deliver meals to Miao Yuan and others every day. It would be weird if he was not noticed.
Chen Zhong reacted, knelt down in front of Miao Yuan with a pop and said to Miao Yuan: "Master, this is Lao Nu's son, Chen Kan. Lao Nu was negligent for a moment, but Lao Nu can guarantee that Kan'er will not reveal the truth about Master.
Please forgive Kan'er for his whereabouts."
Although Chen Zhong says he is honest, it does not mean that he is a fool. He is very clear about Miao Yuan's personality. If Miao Yuan really thinks that Chen Kan will threaten his safety, Miao Yuan will definitely not
Let Chen Kan go.
With his master on one side and his son on the other, Chen Zhong instinctively interceded for Chen Kan.
Miao Yuan glanced at Chen Zhong indifferently, walked up to Chen Kan who was lying on the ground, raised his foot and kicked Chen Kan. Immediately, he saw Chen Kan's body move slightly, and he slowly woke up and turned around.
Chen Kan opened his eyes in a daze, and the first thing he saw was Chen Zhong kneeling next to him. He instinctively exclaimed: "Father!"
When Chen Zhong saw Chen Kan wake up, he looked at Chen Kan with a worried look on his face and said, "Kan'er, why are you following me!"
At this time, Chen Kan also saw Miao Yuan and others. Although Miao Yuan and others were a little embarrassed, Chen Kan knew in his heart that Miao Yuan and others were serious criminals wanted by the court.
Glancing at Chen Kan, Miao Yuan said: "Chen Kan, I think you heard it outside just now. Your father is a servant of my Miao family, and the house where your Chen family lives also belongs to us.
From the Miao family, it can be said that everything in your Chen family was given by me..."
Chen Kan stood up, knelt down in front of Miao Yuan and said, "Chen Kan has met the master!"
Chen Zhong on the side couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and said to Miao Yuan: "Master, Kan'er is a good boy, he will definitely keep the secret for the master!"
Looking at Chen Kan lightly, Miao Yuan said: "Our Miao family is wanted by the court. Once we are caught, we will inevitably die. But your Chen family also belongs to our Miao family. As long as I am arrested, so will your Chen family."
There is no escape, so we are all grasshoppers on the same rope, do you understand?"
Chen Kan nodded repeatedly and said: "I understand, I understand, I understand, even if it is for our Chen family, I will definitely keep the secret secret and will not let anyone find any trace of the master and the others!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Miao Yuan stepped forward and helped the Chen family's father and son up and said: "Boys can be taught, I can guarantee that as long as our Miao family can successfully survive this disaster, I will definitely have serious consequences when the time comes.
Thanks!"
After comforting Chen Zhong and his son, Miao Yuan watched Chen Zhong and his son leave the cellar with a strange look in his eyes.
The housekeeper next to him was Miao Yuan's confidant. Even when he was running for his life, he followed Miao Yuan and never left him. Those loyal servants were also all members of the Lian family. Although they were not as good as those in the Jianghu, they were still comparable.
Ordinary soldiers are still a little stronger.
Being able to be taken with Miao Yuan when he was fleeing for his life shows that any of these people are Miao Yuan's trusted confidants.
Miao Yu, the housekeeper, could only hear: "Sir, are you going to let that kid go like this? Are you not afraid that he will reveal our whereabouts?"
Miao Yuan stroked his beard, glanced at the housekeeper and said, "In your opinion, housekeeper, how should I deal with them?"
Miao Yu narrowed his eyes and said: "Chen Zhong is an honest person, but he doesn't have so many thoughts. The reason why the master chose him back then was because he valued him, so Chen Zhong can still be trusted, but this Chen Kan, at first glance
He is not a peaceful person, I am afraid that Chen Kan will have thoughts that he shouldn’t have!"
A loyal servant standing next to him said with a cold light in his eyes: "Master, why don't you let me go out and kill that Chen Kan, so as not to..."
Waving his hand, Miao Yuan shook his head and said: "Killing Chen Kan is indeed easy, but have you considered the consequences of killing Chen Kan? What will happen to Chen Zhong once Chen Kan is killed? They have a deep love for each other as father and son. Do we have to do the same?
We will kill Chen Zhong as well, otherwise, if Chen Zhong’s son is killed by us, there is no guarantee that he will not hold a grudge in his heart and report us to the court!”
There was a bit of a wry smile on Miao Yu's face.
Just like what Miao Yuan said, if you really want to kill, you can only kill Chen Zhong and his son. But if Chen Zhong and his son just die in the cellar, the Chen family will disappear all of a sudden.
The two of them can be sure that the old, weak, women and children of the Chen family are looking around like they are not crazy.
Once the news spreads, it will inevitably attract the attention of the court.
Two living people suddenly disappeared in their own home. As long as the people in the court who are responsible for searching for them are not fools, they will definitely notice that there is something strange in it. Then the soldiers and horses of the court will be waiting for them.
"It's just that in this case, our safety has to be decided by the Chen family and his son. This is too passive!"
Miao Yuan narrowed his eyes and nodded: "That's right, we can't bet on whether the father and son will keep their word. If they keep their word, that's fine. Once they don't keep their word, our whereabouts will inevitably be exposed. I have never been a person who just sits there and waits for death.
"
While speaking, Miao Yuan looked at Miao Yu and said: "If I remember correctly, Chen Zhong once said that there are three generations of Chen family. If nothing happens, Chen Zhong's new eldest grandson who is less than a year old will be Chen Zhong."
Son of Kan!"
Miao Yu immediately looked at Miao Yuan with bright eyes and said, "What the master means is..."
Stroking his beard, Miao Yuan said calmly: "In order for the father and son not to do anything irreparable wrong, I can only do this."
Miao Yu nodded slightly and said: "Don't worry, sir. I will bring Chen Zhong's grandson here. I believe that with the eldest grandson of the Chen family in hand, the Chen family and his son will definitely keep it secret!"
The father and son of the Chen family came out of the cellar. After they were far enough away from the cellar, Chen Zhong took a long breath, glared at Chen Kan and said: "You are really too reckless. If it hadn't been for the great mercy of the master just now,
, I’m afraid that you and I, our father and son, really won’t be able to get out of that cellar!”
Chen Zhong was just honest and not stupid. He naturally knew that the life and death of their father and son just now really depended on Miao Yuan's thoughts.
Chen Kan's back was soaked, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Father, they are felons of the imperial court. If we harbor felons of the imperial court like this, if we are discovered, it will be a capital crime!"
Chen Zhong took a deep breath and said: "The Chen family has been a vassal of the Miao family from the beginning. There is no way to change this. Just like Master Miao said, our Chen family and the Miao family are like grasshoppers on a rope. If Master Miao falls into
At the hands of the imperial court, our Chen family will not be able to escape disaster."
Chen Kan snorted coldly and said: "That's not necessarily true. Although our Chen family was once a vassal of the Miao family, father, you have been away from the Miao family for decades. Besides, even if our Chen family is a vassal of the Miao family,
So what, with the great merit of reporting, what does this problem of our Chen family mean?"
"No, no!"
Chen Zhong shook his head repeatedly, stared at Chen Kan and said: "You kid, please remember, you have never seen Mr. Miao, otherwise our Chen family will be killed by you!"
With a bit of reluctance on his face, Chen Kan nodded.
The Chen family father and son have something on their minds. Fortunately, they are the backbone of the Chen family. As women, even if they have doubts, they will not ask.
After dinner, Chen Kan's wife was teasing her son who had just learned to walk. She just went back to the house to get a piece of clothing. When she returned to the yard, her giggling son had disappeared.
"For God's sake, my son..."
Chen Kan's wife searched the yard but found no trace of her child. She couldn't help but wailed. In the blink of an eye, Chen Zhong and Chen Kan all ran out.
Chen Kan grabbed his wife's shoulders and said, "Xiu Niang, what's going on? Where is my son? Where is our child?"
Chen Kan's wife cried and said: "In the blink of an eye, the stone disappeared. I went back to the room to get some clothes for the stone..."
The family searched the house, but still found no trace of the child.
Chen Zhong's wife said: "The backyard, by the way, there is still a backyard that I haven't looked for. Could the stone have gone to the backyard?"
Several people's eyes lit up, and at the same time, Chen Zhong and Chen Kan's hearts trembled.
They just thought it was a child hiding and subconsciously forgot about the backyard. But when they heard about the backyard, the father and son immediately looked at each other, and they thought of a possibility.
Just thinking of this possibility, there was a hint of horror in the eyes of the two people.
With a slight shake of his body, Chen Zhong showed off the aura of the head of the family and said in a deep voice: "Look for it again in the yard, Kan'er, follow me to the backyard to look for it. No matter what, we must find the stone."
!”
Chen Zhong has always been honest and courteous. Even the whole family has rarely seen such a serious side of Chen Zhong and subconsciously obeyed Chen Zhong's arrangements.
Chen Zhong and Chen Kan, father and son, appeared at the entrance of the cellar, and then they heard a voice saying: "Since you are here, come down!"
The father and son looked at each other, took a deep breath, and slowly walked into the cellar. Chen Kan saw his son lying motionless next to Miao Yuan at a glance, and exclaimed almost instinctively: "Stone!"
Miao Yuan gently stroked Shitou's head, and said with a bit of kindness on his face: "What a good boy, Chen Zhong, Chen Kan, your Chen family is not popular, but this child is quite tough. I looked at it
They all like it very much!"
Seeing Miao Yuan stroking the stone, Chen Zhong, Chen Kan and his son were very nervous. It must be said that Miao Yuan really caught the weakness of the father and son.
The eldest son and eldest grandson, just like what Miao Yuan said, the Chen family was not prosperous. Chen Zhong only had one son, Chen Kan, but he had three or four daughters.
Chen Kan's generation was also ordinary. After giving birth to two daughters, it was not easy to give birth to a grandson like Shitou. The family almost treated him like a baby.
Chen Zhong said in a trembling voice: "Master, Shitou is still a child! Please be merciful and don't hurt Shitou..."
Miao Yuan looked at Chen Zhong, shook his head and said: "Look, where have you been thinking? Your Chen family are loyal servants of my Miao family. How could I hurt such a cute little baby? See
This child, I can't help but miss my grandson, who is also of this size, and I don't know if he is well now..."
Chen Zhong said quickly: "Master, the young master must be fine..."
He raised his head and glanced at Chen Zhong and his son and said, "Okay, let this little stone stay here with me during these days. Don't worry, I will treat him like my own grandson."
Chen Kan's face darkened. Although Miao Yuan didn't say it clearly, they knew in their hearts that Miao Yuan was using stones to contain their father and son.
But they didn't dare to act rashly. If Miao Yuan was really irritated, the Chen family would really be doomed.
With a bit of a wry smile on his face, Chen Zhong glanced at the sleeping Shitou with some pity and said: "It is Shitou's blessing that Shitou can be loved by the master. In this case, let Shitou accompany the master these days."
Bar!"
Chen Kan beside him couldn't help but said anxiously when he heard this: "Father..."
Chen Zhong glared at Chen Kan and said, "Okay, I've made up my mind as a father, that's it. It's Shitou's blessing that the master values him!"
As he spoke, Chen Zhong said to Chen Kan: "It's still your mother who is going to appease the woman who wants to return it to you. Just tell them that the stone has been found, so they don't have to worry and don't make any announcement! I'll be here with you and the stone."
Chen Kan had a look of hesitation on his face. Chen Zhong couldn't help but push Chen Kan, then gave Chen Kan a hard look and said, "Hurry up!"
Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing. He glanced at Chen Zhong, then at his son, took a deep breath and saluted Miao Yuan: "Mr. Miao, it's a little cooler in the cellar. I'll go get a few pieces for the stone."
