Shenhao: I am the villain, understand?Villains!

Several people were silent, each thinking about their own matters in their hearts.

The only sound left on the dining table was the sound of the chopsticks colliding with the bowl after Chu Ran pulled the bowl with his chopsticks.

And... Zhu Qi's caring voice, it seems that Zhu Qi sent all the words that she would no longer be able to say in the future, and she would no longer be able to pick up food, into Chu Ran's bowl.

But gradually, Zhu Qi's movements became slower and slower, so slow that Chu Ran's eating speed could catch up with Zhu Qi's speed of picking up vegetables.

Then, there was another voice on the table, and Chu Ran looked up suspiciously, only to realize that it was Zhu Qi's sobbing.

After all, Zhu Qi couldn't bear it anymore, put down her chopsticks, covered her mouth, trembling.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Ran swallowed the unswallowed bits and pieces in her mouth and asked.

Zhu Qi didn't answer, just covered her mouth and shook her head.

Chu Ran wanted to say something, but at this moment, the door sounded suddenly.

After knocking three times regularly, he stopped and shouted outside the door:

"Hello, check the water meter."

Checking the water meter has always been a very sensitive matter in the human world, but I don't know it.

He looked at Zhu Qi, then at the door that was knocked behind him again, and said softly:

"Mom, I'll open the door first, so don't cry."

Chu Ran got up and was about to open the door, but was held back by Chu Zhao. Chu Ran looked at Chu Zhao suspiciously. Before Chu Ran asked, Chu Zhao answered first:

"It's okay, I'm here to check the water meter. You may not know much about this process."

"I'll just go, you can comfort your mother here."

After speaking, without waiting for Chu Ran's answer, Chu Zhao got up and walked out the door.

Chu Ran raised his hand, and Chu Zhao had already walked away.

Helpless, I can only think of a way to see how to comfort him.

He raised his head, and wanted Chu Xiaoer to come, but seeing that Chu Xiaoer was still lowering his eyelids, he didn't intend to speak.

As for asking Lin Chen for help, for some reason, Chu Ran never had such an idea.

When I was distressed, I heard the creaking sound of the room door being opened again.

Then there was another whispering exchange, and Chu Ran couldn't quite hear what they were talking about.

I only know that they talked for a while at the door, and then there was the sound of "tapping".

The sound was very heavy, and it didn't sound like the sound that normal people's footsteps could make.

And there were quite a few people, Chu Ran frowned, feeling something was wrong, and couldn't care less about comforting her for a while, she looked up at the entrance.

And it just so happened that those heavy voices also appeared at the entrance.

Those were a few black iron men who wrapped themselves tightly, holding a shield in their left hand and holding a musket at the bottom of the mountain in their right hand.

The word "serious case" was written on the shield.

"This?"

As soon as he saw this attire, Chu Ran probably guessed in his heart that this should be the so-called Yamen people.

Chu Ran didn't know why they came here, but felt menacing and awe-inspiring.

Then he got up, moved forward, and protected Zhu Qi and his younger sister behind him, frowned to check, and tentatively said:

"who are you?"

"Where is my dad?"

Chu Ran straddled the horse, mobilized all the Qi in his body, and was ready to strike first at any time.

He knew that the yamen below this mountain had weapons that could shoot steel eggs in their hands, even those with strong dark energy would be killed or injured if they couldn't dodge them.

Yes, that's the weird-shaped stick on the right hand of the group of people.

Chu Ran glanced apprehensively, and this time down the mountain, Chu Ran didn't bring a weapon, so he could only rely on his own fists.

If it really doesn't work, can you still run? No, it seems that you can't run.

As soon as this idea came up, Chu Ran ruled it out. Now he is no longer the person to be protected, and he has someone to protect.

Chu Ran glanced behind him, finally looked at Lin Chen, and whispered:

"Lin...Brother Lin, please take my mother and my sister away first."

"Leave it to me here."

However, in the face of Chu Ran's kindness, the people at the table didn't seem to appreciate it.

She didn't move, just stared at her eyes, Zhu Qi also stopped crying, and looked at Chu Ran with tears in her eyes.

That look, is sorrow, pain, self-blame, and shame.

In short, it is a complex carved by countless negative emotions.

It made Chu Ran feel puzzled when he saw it, but for Chu Ran, now is not the time to be suspicious about this, and he said anxiously:

"Let's go."

Then he turned his head and waited for it.

Doesn't it mean that the yamen at the bottom of the mountain is different from the previous yamen?It is said that people-oriented is now emphasized.

But what kind of madness is this now?Hurt the innocent?

Chu Ran took another step forward, his eyes wide open, today is a very important day for him, and he does not allow anyone to spoil it.

Even if it offends the Yamen, so what!

"Where is my father, let him go, everything is easy to talk about."

Chu Ran originally wanted to display his dark strength as a deterrent.

But then he thought about the fact that the people at the bottom of the mountain were banned from martial arts, and the strange shapes in their hands, so he temporarily dismissed the idea.

Martial arts is, after all, the last resort, and it is still the next best thing to do.

It's just that what Chu Ran didn't expect was that his words did not get an answer from the uninvited guest in front of him, but the answer came from behind him.
