.    Chapter 2 Changes

    "why are you laughing?"

    After staring at the tablet with the words "Heaven and Earth" engraved on it for a while, Chen suddenly turned his head and looked at Taoist Baiyun.  .

    I saw Taoist Baiyun smiling bitterly and shaking his head, saluting respectfully and saying, "The donor is too worried. Pindao said a long time ago that it was not Pindao, but someone else"

    "Don't talk nonsense! - Not to mention the past few times, there are only you and my wife in the library now. If it's not you, who is it?"

    "It can't be said, it can't be said" Taoist Baiyun smiled and shook his head.

    Tang Xiner saw it and said reproachfully, "Husband, a Taoist is an expert. How can you be so rude?"

    "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter," Taoist Baiyun chuckled, flicked the dust in his hand, looked at Chen Su and Tang Xiner and said with a chuckle, "The two donors don't have to worry too much about the heirs. As long as they are sincere, they can one day resolve the evil  ¡­¡±

    "Seriously?" Tang Xiner asked with joy on her face, "I wonder when?"

    "Of course, why would a poor Taoist dare to deceive your Majesty? It's just that your Majesty wants to ask when. It's hard for this poor Taoist to say, and he doesn't dare to say" Taoist Baiyun bowed respectfully.

    "You're pretending to be a ghost!" Chen suddenly snorted.

    Under Taoist Baiyun's unannounced smile, Tang Xiner glanced at her husband reproachfully and said apologetically, "My husband, a commoner woman, is not very good at talking. I hope you will forgive me if I offend you"

    "How dare you, how dare you" Taoist Baiyun chuckled and shook his head. Then after looking at Chen Ran for a few times, he suddenly said seriously, "Donor, don't worry too much, maybe a great merit will befall you one day. As long as the donor  Observe God's will and follow it, and there will be no disasters in the future"

    "What do you mean?" Chen Suan frowned and asked.

    I saw Taoist Baiyun shaking his head repeatedly and saying, "The secret of heaven must not be leaked I hope the donor will take care of himself!"

    ""

    Chen Suan became more and more confused as he listened, and asked several times in succession, but Taoist Baiyun just shook his head and remained silent.

    In desperation, Chen Suan had no choice but to go back with Tang Xiner first.

    A great merit?

    What kind of great merit can resolve one¡¯s sins?  Can he wash away his blood debt that cost tens of thousands of lives?

    The next morning, when Chen Ran was fishing on the bank of the Yangtze River with his fishing rod, he couldn't help but think about the words of Taoist Baiyun again.

    To be honest, Chen Ran has never regretted the sins he committed. He just regrets that he was too doting on Zhang Susu and lacked control over her, so that this originally kind girl finally embarked on a legal life.  Chen Suan's extremely painful path.

    ¡°If I had paid a little attention to Zhang Susu¡¯s inner guidance at the beginning, maybe so many things wouldn¡¯t have happened later, right?

    "Alas!" Chen let out a long sigh. He suddenly raised the fishing rod and caught a fish that was more than a foot long.

    Looking at the fish jumping alive in the fish basket, Chen suddenly couldn't help but recall the conversation he had with Cao Xing when they were chatting.

    [you?  Hahaha¡­¡­]

    [Are you surprised?  ]

    [I can¡¯t say I¡¯m surprised, I¡¯m just curious. Can a guy like you really restrain his murderous intentions and be a woodcutter in peace?  ]

    [What's wrong?  ]

    "[It's a bit funny. Warriors like us, what else can we do with our hands besides holding swords?"  ]

    "It should be said that besides holding a knife, there is nothing else you can't doCao Xing"

    Recalling the battle at Wu Meilin and the scene when Cao Xing died after all, Chen suddenly sighed and swung the fishing rod in his hand into the river again.  ishu.

    For three years, for three years, Chen Suan had lived in Huangzhou anonymously. He had never told anyone about his past. Even his neighbors only knew that his surname was Chen and his wife's surname was Tang. Other than that,  Outside, the neighbors know nothing.

    Because he has lost his name. In today's world, who doesn't know that Chen Su, the great assassin who shocked the world, died in the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the plum forest east of Wuchao  .

    Ah, Chen Su is dead, and he is just an unknown person who happens to be named Chen

    ??A person who is not very talkative and not very harmonious in the eyes of his neighbors

    Time passed by minute by minute, until around noon, Chen suddenly looked at the big fish in the fish basket helplessly, and sighed with a wry smile.

    "Is this what you get in one morning?"

    ??Smiling bitterly and shaking his head, Chen suddenly stoodHe turned around, carrying the fish basket and fishing rod on his back, and looked at Huangzhou City.

    ¡°Perhaps Cao Xing is right. Generals like them who are accustomed to holding butcher knives may really not be able to survive once they put down the knife in their hands one day.

    Although Chen Su and Tang Xiner had lived in Yingchuan for a while, at that time, the basic needs of the family were supported by the sale of the property that Tang Xiner brought from the palace, and they only lived there for a short time.  It was just a few months, so Chen Chang didn't care at first.

    But this time it was different, because Chen Ran had decided to draw a clear line with Zhang Susu. Therefore, he and Tang Xiner traveled thousands of miles to Jingzhou, which was beyond the reach of Cao Cao's power, and settled in Huangzhou, an inconspicuous small county.

    But the worst thing is, perhaps because Chen Ran and Tang Xiner are not the type who are good at managing money, so that at the end of the first year, the family's financial problems became the biggest problem.

    Also, Tang Xin'er has lived in the palace since he was a child. Jin Yi Yu Shi, even after following Chen Yan, is also the lady of the main room of General Zhengxi.

    And Chen Yan need not say, how would he lack the property he used?  Whether it was Yuan Shu at the beginning or Cao Cao later, the rewards they gave him were almost always enough to allow ordinary people to live a comfortable life.

    Because of this, Chen Ran and Tang Xiner, two people who had never worried about money, finally experienced the troubles of ordinary people in the world in the spring of the second year.

    The second year of Jian'an was the year that dealt the biggest blow to Chen Ran. He originally thought that even if he left the army, he could support Tang Xiner with his own hands. However, it turned out that, as Cao Xing said, besides holding a knife and killing people, he  Other than that, he knows nothing

    ??Plowing the fields was what Chen Chang originally thought of, but unfortunately, the process was very difficult.

    Chen Suan had the experience of getting rid of all the seedlings, leaving weeds behind, and also had the experience of watering the seedlings and drowning them. As for the troubles of locusts and sparrows eating food and eating fruits, Chen Suan did not worry about it.  Nothing, because he didn't cultivate the field to that stage at all.

    Doing business was Chen Chang¡¯s second plan after that. As a result, this plan was stillborn before it was implemented.

    Because, Chen Ran has no capital

    So in the end, Chen Su could only make a living by hunting and fishing. It may be a bit ridiculous that Chen Su, who was famous all over the world at that time, is now in such a state of decline.

    But to be honest, it was not actually to this point. After all, with Chen Su's strength, it was quite easy to find a job in the county government in Huangzhou. However, this suggestion did not receive the support of Tang Xiner.

    Speaking of which, although Tang Xiner has been pampered since she was a child, she is indeed a very strong-willed and perseverant woman. In the second year after arriving in Huangzhou, she would rather support her family with embroidery than go to the Yamen.  As an errand.

    Because Tang Xiner knew very well that her husband was a rare hero in the world, and if he was asked to work in the Yamen, it would not be long before her husband would gain the respect of the local county magistrate, and then be promoted, or serve as a guard in the local county seat, or be hired.  Recommended to high-ranking officials, over time, she might be promoted to a general with military power. In this case, wouldn't her husband have to hold weapons again?

    And doesn¡¯t this run counter to the original purpose of the couple choosing to live here in seclusion?

    It has to be said that this work of subtle knowledge is no less frightening than Jizi in the Shang Dynasty when he saw King Zhou eating with ivory chopsticks.

    It was precisely because of concerns about this matter that Tang Xiner persuaded her husband to find a job at the local government office. She did not want her husband, who had finally got rid of those bad things, to pick up weapons again because of her.

    Perhaps this is the biggest difference between Tang Xiner and Zhang Susu. It is undeniable that these two women have deep love for Chen Ye, but their requirements for Chen Ye are quite different. Zhang Susu hopes that Chen Ye will become  Tang Xiner, the most important person in the world, just hopes that Chen Ranping can be safely by her side

    It's no wonder, after all, the status of the two women is different. Tang Xiner, who has lived in the palace since she was a child, has long been accustomed to seeing those so-called big shots. She even hates the struggle for power and the intrigues during the period, while Zhang Susu  It was different. She was born among the common people, and she yearned for the prosperity at high places. Therefore, she hoped that she and Chen Ye could stand higher, higher than others. Because of this, Chen Ye felt great  pressure.

    It can be said that the current life is perhaps the closest to Chen Ran's original ideal life. However, out of a man's self-esteem, he feels a little entangled in not being able to make his beloved wife's life better. Although Tang Xiner is not satisfied with it,  I don't care, even,?I try to persuade Chen Su from time to time.

    "My husband is back?"

    When Chen Ran returned home with the fish basket, Tang Xiner was sitting in the middle embroidering. In the most difficult year, if Tang Xiner had not given full play to the female beauty she had learned in the palace, Chen Ran would have hunted and fished alone.  , obviously unable to maintain the family's livelihood.

    "Well¡­¡­"

    Chen suddenly nodded, put down the fish basket, walked to Tang Xiner, held one of her small white hands, and looked at it for a few times.

    As if she could see through her husband's heart, Tang Xiner gently took out the hand held by her husband and said a little shyly, "Sir, it's true that I don't get pricked by needles every time"

    "" Looking at Tang Xiner, Chen Suan said nothing and sat silently at the table.

    Tang Xiner shook her head helplessly, put down what she was doing, stood up and sat on her husband's lap, leaned gently into his arms, and whispered, "I just promised Aunt Li who is facing the street. I promised my husband, this  After finishing it this time, even if it is entrusted by Aunt Li, I will no longer accept it, okay? - As for this time, I have promised to others, how can I regret it midway? Isn¡¯t my husband always the most important about promises? "

    Chen frowned and glanced at Tang Xiner helplessly. Chen didn't say a word. It was obvious that he was not in a very good mood.

    Seeing this, Tang Xiner chuckled, hugged Chen Ran's neck, and called out like a baby, "Husband, husband" As she shouted, she couldn't help but have a shy expression on her face. It's no wonder, after all, she  Now she is twenty-four years old, not to mention, the person she is acting like a spoiled child to is her husband, who is still one year younger than her. This makes Tang Xiner, who has had a strict upbringing since childhood, extremely shy.

    ???????????????????? But it¡¯s shameful to be shy, but this is the most advantageous weapon against your husband

    "The last time" Chen Ran looked at Tang Xiner silently. The seriousness in his eyes made the woman feel stunned, because from her husband's serious eyes, the woman realized that she might not be able to fool him like this again in the future.

    "Well, I will listen to your husband" Tang Xiner sighed slightly in her heart, and she leaned obediently in Chen Ran's arms.

    With Tang Xiner's intelligence, how could she not understand the awkwardness in Chen Ran's heart? She obviously wanted to live a good life for herself, but she had no choice. This kind of trouble made Tang Xiner quite distressed.

    Her husband is a rare hero in the world, but now he has fallen into this situation, which has something to do with her. Perhaps it is because of thinking about this that Tang Xiner is eager to make up for some of the family's expenses, thereby reducing the pressure on her husband.  .

    However, even so, Tang Xiner did not want her husband to hold a weapon again

    She could not forget that for several nights, her husband woke up in a cold sweat and scanned every corner of the house with extremely fierce eyes

    She could never forget that when she was washing up in the morning, her husband looked blankly at the clear water in the basin

    She could not forget that while slaughtering the prey, her husband silently looked at her hands that were stained red by the blood of wild beasts

    "I'm sorry, Xin'er"

    "Huh?" Suddenly, she heard Chen Ran's guilt-filled voice. Tang Xiner was stunned, raised her head, looked at the guilt in her husband's eyes, then shook her head and pressed her head tightly against her husband's arms.  In the middle, she said softly, "Husband, I am my husband, and I am my husband's wife. How can there be any words of respect or apology between husband and wife? Perhaps in my husband's eyes, the life at home is very poor at the moment.  However, from my perspectivethis is what I have always dreamed of"

    "Dream? That's it?" Looking at Tang Xiner's simple clothes, Chen suddenly laughed at himself.

    "Husband, please don't laugh," Tang Xiner shook her head slightly, and suddenly whispered in a very serious tone, "Since we met in Luoyang, I have been with my husband for seven years. For nearly four years, I have been with you.  I feel anxious every day, fearing that something might happen to my husband who is leading the army outside. I can't sleep at night, and I can't swallow even the delicious food and honey. However, in the past few yearshusband, you know, I have never felt so at ease  ¡­In the early morning when the rooster crows, I open my eyes, and my husband is still by my side; in the dead of night, my husband embraces me and falls asleep¡­ I no longer have to worry about my husband¡¯s safety, because my husband is by my side every moment. This kind of peace of mind  , is something I have never experienced when I was in Luoyang, Chang'an, Xiacai, and Xudu"

    "Xin'er"

    "Husband, please don't think that I am born in the palace, and then you will rashly conclude that I will not suffer hardships. As far as I am concerned, even if my family is homeless, even if I don't know where I will go next, as long as my husband is in peace, he will still be by my side.  , I can endure any kind of things Therefore, husband, don¡¯t always bear everything by yourself. You need to remember that I can endure everything??Xin'er is your husband's wife, and she will never leave her for the rest of her life"

    "Xin'er" Looking at Tang Xiner's expressive eyes, Chen suddenly couldn't help but hug her tightly in his arms.

    Feeling her husband's strong arms, Tang Xiner was deeply intoxicated. As if to cheer her up, she encouraged her, "Husband, can't I be over the most difficult days?"

    "yes¡­¡­"

    Perhaps he was encouraged by his wife, or maybe he was gradually getting used to the poor but warm life. Gradually, the impatience belonging to the warrior in Chen Ye's blood slowly calmed down, which made Chen Ye's character  Changes have gradually taken place

    One day, Chen Ran and Tang Xiner set up a stall in the Huangzhou market to sell fish hanging from the river.

    From a distance, Chen suddenly saw several men walking struttingly from the other end of the street.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Chen suddenly recognized the identities of those people at a glance, especially when he saw those guys picking up preserved fruits from roadside vendors and eating them, he was even more convinced that after all, Liu Pi had done that in Yingchuan before.  thing.

    Speaking of which, this kind of gangsters are not uncommon no matter which dynasty or city or county they live in. They just gather a group of people to roam the streets with nothing to do all day long and do some sneaky things. Of course, there are many of them.  There are some men who value loyalty, but in the hearts of the people, these people are as hateful as wealth wolves and leopards.

    What's even more intolerable is that sometimes these people clearly take their things for nothing, but they still have to smile, otherwise, they may be beaten severely, and for ordinary people, how can they beat them?  Where are these gangsters who fight and cause trouble all day long?

    Finally, those gangsters swaggered to the stall where Chen Chang was selling river fish.

    "Hey, since when did there be a fish seller here?" The leading gangster glanced at Chen Suan arrogantly, then turned his attention to the fish on the stall, and suddenly pointed at one of the fish and said, curling his lips and smiling.  He said, "This fish is pretty good"

    Before he finished speaking, Chen suddenly grabbed the fish, held it in front of the gangster with both hands, and whispered, "Go back and eat"

    "" Not to mention the people around were dumbfounded, even the gangsters were stunned. Where had they ever encountered such a cooperative person?

    The leading gangster looked at Chen Suan with a strange expression.

    As the saying goes, fists should not hit people with smiling faces. Seeing Chen Suo's cooperation, those gangsters were not too presumptuous. After looking at Chen Suan for a few times, they walked away with the fish in hand.

    "This man turns out to be so cowardly"

    ¡°It¡¯s so unworthy of his beautiful wife to marry such a cowardly man Sigh!¡±

    The people around him all shook their heads and sighed, and some even looked at Chen Su with contempt.

    Seemingly noticing the looks in the eyes of the people, Tang Xiner couldn't help but snicker.

    "It's embarrassing, isn't it?"

    Perhaps because he heard Tang Xiner's laughter, Chen suddenly turned around and said with an annoyed look on his face.

    "No, how could it be possible," Tang Xiner smiled and shook her head, saying infatuatedly, "In my opinion, the winner should be my husband"

    Ah, how could those common people know, how could those ruffians know what kind of man they despise and extort

    I didn¡¯t dare to tell them because I was afraid they would be scared to death!

    At the same time, at the other end of the street, two government officials were looking at this side with frowns. One was a veteran who looked to be in his forties or fifties, and the other was only in his early twenties.

    "Those bastards actually dare to cause trouble under my nose, Wei Yan"

    "Don't be impulsive, Chang Wen, don't forget, you were sent here just because you were impulsive and did bad things"

    "Hey! - Uncle Zhong, you really have too many things to do!" The young officer and soldier who looked to be in his twenties curled his lips disdainfully, then glanced at Chen Su in the distance, frowned and said, "Speaking of which,  That guy is too cowardly! If this guy had any blood at all, I could arrest those guys right away They are as cowardly as a mouse, bah!"

    Glancing at the disdainful look on the young man beside him, the veteran named Uncle Zhong showed an imperceptible smile on his face.

    "Cowardly?"
