Chapter 174: So close to them

"Scared." The children unanimously responded and patted their chests. Zhang Ci smiled as soon as he saw it.

"But I'm not afraid later." Chen Zhongliang said. Chen Fan touched his head. When the others saw it, they all turned their heads over. Chen Zhongyan curled his lips disdainfully. When they were all touched by Chen Fan and Zhang Ci, he rubbed his head awkwardly, next to Zhang Ci. Zhang Ci smiled and pulled his hair. Chen Fan did not waste his hair, but just patted his shoulder.

"Chen Zhongliang can jump onto the roof of his house today." Chen Zhongzhu said enviously. Chen Fan smiled. At that time, this kid escaped from a group of ferocious servants. Zhang Ci specially taught him in light skills.

"My legs are weak today." Chen Zhongjing felt a little embarrassed.

"It's normal. Your oldest one is not over twelve years old." Chen Fan crossed his arms in front of his chest, "Close your eyes and pat them gently before going to bed later, and talk to himself for a while." The children learned curiously.

"Everyone goes to wash and sleep, carry hot water yourself. You don't have to get up early tomorrow," said Chen Fan.

The children all ran to the small compartment next to the kitchen and came to pick up hot water with small buckets.

When they all left, Zhang Ci laughed at her while adding water: "You are so cruel. They were so scared that you even asked them to carry water to wash themselves."

Chen Fan looked at him: "Don't worry, it's fake. Such a young child will inevitably be afraid and have psychological shadows, but that is their growth experience. The Lord of the Zhongshu Ling asked them if they wanted to follow them. Isn't it just to temper them? Letting them carry water to wash themselves is also to let them learn to adjust themselves. If I panic as if I was facing a great enemy, they would be nervous and scared. The five boys could always comfort each other."

Zhang Ci slapped her hair: "You are both cooking soup and steaming buns, which is also a relief from the torment in your heart?"

"I have a little bit of it, but I still want to finish the work. Everyone has been busy in the middle of the night, and it will feel better if they have some food." Chen Fan said, not forgetting to knead the dough in his hand.

"Is this breakfast for the other two hundred people?" Zhang Ci sat next to the stove and added a handful of firewood.

"Well, you can't be more generous than the other."

After the dough was cured, Zhang Ci helped to carry the hot water to the bathroom. Chen Fan washed up and poured out the water.

"I'll help you carry water later?" Chen Fan looked at him.

"No, you go to bed early."

That being said, Chen Fan would wait for him to wash up and help clean up the matter before saying good night and returning to his room.

After so much trouble, she was not sleepy. She wanted to stay in the space for a while, but found that the space was dark. Forget it, let's go to bed. While lying down, she fell asleep.

The next day, Chen Fan slept until after nine o'clock. Zhang Ci had about the same time as her, and the two had breakfast together. Zhang Ci said that the Secretariat ordered them to go out early in the morning and go to the villages to post seals.

Only then did Chen Fan realize that the two villages in Guangyun County were so close to them: one went west of Kaiyun Village and the other went north for more than twenty miles.

No wonder, they come so frequently in batches, and there is no need for a horse to ride on the cart.

The two villages in Yongchang County are the furthest.

"Why did those two groups of people come back so long in such a near village?" Chen Fan couldn't figure it out.

"They are fierce, unlike the village we went to. The women in those two villages were chewed and caught. There were also many things in those two villages."

"Are there any casualties?"

"Some soldiers were scratched and bitten, but there were no other serious wounds. You don't have to worry too much about those who fight stubbornly."

Chen Fan felt a chill on his back: "There are two such villages so close to us?" He didn't find any clues in the past, and he didn't hear anyone around him causing trouble.

"We were driving twenty cows across the village at that time, but we didn't see them robbing the cows." Are they not moved? Chen Fan talked to himself, and Zhang Ci smiled and said nothing.

"Do you want to tempt someone to steal the cattle?" Chen Fan suddenly thought of something, and Zhang Ci still smiled without answering. Chen Fan punched him.

The children were a little later than her.

Grandma Zhou brought breakfast with a smile and asked them: "What did you do when you went out last night?"

"I went to a village, and I took a walk." Chen Zhongyan said.

Grandma Zhou looked at everyone's face: "The face is all good, are there any wounds on her body?"

The children shook their heads and said no.

Grandma Zhou smiled and said, "It's really not easy. It's so dark. You can still be careful not to let yourself bump into it. You have good skills."

"That's it," Chen Zhongzhu raised his head proudly.

"General Yan and the others are protecting us." Chen Zhongliang said.

"Then you still have to cooperate and understand the rules. Even gods can't protect them if you fight around." Grandma Zhou said.

The girls all came in and sat quietly watching them eat. When they finished eating, they asked them what they had done yesterday. They answered another round, which was more specific than answering Grandma Zhou’s.

Chen Ya rushed to Chen Zhongzhu: "Brother, do you want it?" As she said that, she pinched his arm.

Chen Zhonglian pursed his lips: "My arm hurts a little."

Chen Ya immediately walked up to him: "Did you have an arm injured? Is it bandaged?"

"If you haven't broken, you'll bump it into it, and you may get green and purple."

Chen Ya's face frowned: "That must be very painful, right? Did you cover it with a hot towel? When I was beaten before, my body was often green and purple, and I didn't know I had to cover it with a towel."

It's Chen Zhongzhu's turn to frown: "You used to be beaten?"

Chen Ya didn't want to mention: "It's all over, now we have a new home, everything is fine."

Chen Zhongyan looked at Chen Zhongzhu, and his face was very angry.

"Do you still have the strength to study?" Chen Ying asked them.

"Everyone has gotten up, so of course he has the strength." Chen Zhongliang said.

"I have to study even if I don't have the energy. I don't teach you for a day." Chen Zhongmei was cruel enough to him.

"It's really good, remember this sentence very clearly." Chen Ying praised.

Chen Zhongliang had a bitter face: "I want to rest today."

"No!" The eight people all turned off his thoughts.

As usual, Chen Zhongyan gave a lecture. Chen Fan and his men were busy in the kitchen, and Zhang Ci ran on the villages on both sides.

At noon, four accompanying officials came back, and Zhongshu Ling, Zhang Jiuyan and Wu Zhongsu did not come back.

"Does they have any protection?" Chen Fan asked Zhang Ci.

"Don't worry, all the eight guards follow." Zhang Ci was not worried at all.

"Where have they been? Can I ask?" She looked at Zhang Ci.

"They went to Guangyun County to take a walk."

"I don't know how Liu Huaizhen is." Chen Fan never got enough time to investigate.

Several officials looked at her meaningfully.
