In the carriage.

Chu Xiaoxiao was still the only one chattering.

Everyone else was silent.

Luo Qingzhou was concentrating with his eyes closed, but he could clearly feel the eyes of someone opposite him looking at him.

Sister Dao also had something wrong today.

His face was still calm, but his sitting posture was a little strange.

It turned out that every time she sat across from him, she would stretch her legs and her feet would almost touch his, sitting in a very relaxed and generous posture.

But today, she bent her legs inward and tucked her feet tightly under the seat.

Such a cautious and restrained sitting posture is very inconsistent with the sword next to her and her majestic expression.

Luo Qingzhou really wanted to explain to her that he was really not interested in her feet.

Chu Xiaoxiao was asking the young man named Zhou Boyue with concern, asking him if he was beaten yesterday and why his neck was full of nail marks.

At this time, several people in the carriage looked at the taciturn young man.

Sure enough, his neck was full of nail marks.

But depending on the situation, it probably happened last night.

Because when everyone returned to the city from the Blackwood Forest in the evening, he didn't have it around his neck.

Zhou Boyue was introverted and didn't like to talk. When he saw everyone looking at him, his face suddenly turned red. After being silent for a while, he said, "He was caught."

Wu Kui next to him showed a smile that only a man can understand, and whispered: "A woman caught you, right? Was it too intense last night?"

Zhou Boyue lowered his head and said awkwardly: "Mother-in-law..."

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Wu Kui's face suddenly froze.

The other people in the carriage were also shocked and looked at him in disbelief.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little solid.

There was silence for a while.

Sister Dao opened her mouth and explained to him: "Don't get it wrong, everyone. Zhou Boyue is the son-in-law of a certain mansion. I have met him several times in the inner city. His mother-in-law... has a bad temper. She used to be on the street.

He was insulted and beaten."

After saying that, she quickly apologized: "Zhou Boyue, I'm sorry, I don't think I should say these things."

Zhou Boyue smiled miserably and said: "It's okay, Sister Dao, I'm not afraid of being recognized. I often follow my mother-in-law on the street, and I'm often insulted and beaten by her. I guess everyone knows me, and there's nothing to hide.

"

Everyone immediately looked at him with sympathy.

Chu Xiaoxiao clenched her little fist and said angrily: "Brother Zhou, why is your mother-in-law so bad? You are not a warrior, why don't you resist?"

Zhou Boyue remained silent.

Wu Kui on the side said bitterly: "You also heard that Sister Dao said that he is the son-in-law of the bride-in-law. I guess the surname is inherited from other people's families. Men who have married into the bride-to-be have no dignity and rights to resist. Sometimes they are worse than slaves.

"

Sister Dao also nodded and said: "It is better for a man not to get married than to marry into a wife. Entering someone else's house is humiliating and disrespectful. You are also exploited like a cow or a horse, and even insulted and beaten. A married woman is the most disrespectful person."

and status, we are okay now. The son-in-law can still go out to help with business in the government, and can even take the imperial examination and martial arts examination. Like in the previous dynasty, the son-in-law could not even go out casually, let alone the imperial examination, etc., he could do it in the government

If you do something wrong, you may even be beaten to death directly..."

Zhou Boyue's eyes were red and he lowered his head and said nothing.

Wu Kui sighed and said: "These days, it would be nice to have a place to live, food to eat, a wife and children. These things are all given by the family, how can he resist? And the law does not allow it.

A surrogate son-in-law disobeys his elders and his wife's family. Like Brother Zhou, he can only wait until he is truly capable before running away from home, or he can become famous and have an identity, so that he can be proud of himself."

Several people said something to each other, all discussing the pity of the son-in-law.

At this time, Nangong Meijiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said coldly: "Not necessarily. Some sons-in-law, even if they haven't become famous yet, may still be successful in their wives' families."

When she saw several people looking at her with disbelief, she snorted coldly, folded her arms and said, "I know a family anyway, and the son-in-law in that family is a weak scholar, with some talent, and good looks.

He was as good at getting along as anyone in that mansion. The women in the mansion, including his mother-in-law, were all around him all day long. There were so many girls in his room every night that he couldn't even keep them. Even his father-in-law and his wife

His brothers are also very kind to him. His father-in-law is also planning to hand over the entire property of the mansion to him."

As soon as these words came out, several people looked at each other.

"There is such a son-in-law? I have never heard of it."

Wu Kui's face was full of surprise and envy.

Zhou Boyue also raised his head and said with red eyes: "Is there really such a son-in-law?"

Sister Dao on the side said: "It doesn't sound very reliable. Unless the son-in-law is a great martial arts master and the number one scholar. But how can a man like that be willing to become a son-in-law?"

Nangong Meijiao sneered and said sarcastically: "I have no knowledge."

After saying that, he stopped talking.

At this time, Luo Qingzhou suddenly looked at the red-eyed young man sitting in the corner and said: "Brother Zhou, is your mother-in-law... called Zhou Lan?"

Zhou Boyue suddenly looked up at him: "You...how do you know?"

Then he smiled miserably: "Sure enough, everyone knows."

Luo Qingzhou secretly thought what a coincidence.

It turned out that every time his mother-in-law scolded him, she would mention how the unlucky son-in-law of Zhou Lan's family was doing such a bad job, but he never expected that it would be this poor man in front of him.

It seems that this person is also enduring the humiliation and keeping a low profile.

Several people chatted along the way and soon arrived at the destination.

The carriage stopped on the road outside the blackwood forest.

Sister Dao took several people and got out of the car one after another.

Zhou Boyue probably felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly left alone after getting off the car.

Chu Xiaoxiao once again invited everyone to form a team, but was still rejected.

When Luo Qingzhou was about to leave, Sister Dao stopped him and said with a cold face: "Next time you want to ask me for help, make it clear in advance and pay the gold coins in advance. Don't deliberately say such disgusting words. Last night

If I hadn't been merciful, I would have cut off your head with one blow."

Luo Qingzhou apologized awkwardly again and said: "Okay, Sister Dao."

After he left, everyone else also left one after another.

"Whoosh——"

He tensed up all the muscles in his body and tried to bounce. Sure enough, he bounced higher and further than before.

"boom!"

He punched again in mid-air.

The explosive power and power of this punch are completely different from those before. The sonic boom can kill the previous punch instantly.

"Crack!"

The trunk of a big tree in front of him was shattered by his punch, and the upper part fell down.

There was a strong burning smell wafting from the fracture.

It seems that the power of Thunder Fist has also increased a lot.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

He jumped quickly among the woods, as agile as an ape, and quickly jumped to the towering tree before. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he took out the Sun and Moon Mirror from his storage bag.

Carefully placed it on the canopy of the tree, facing the sun.

Then he continued to jump forward and began to search for monsters.

This time, he zoomed in.

However, no monsters were found until noon.

After eating beef and fruit in the tree and drinking water, he continued to search forward.

Before I knew it, I had left the outskirts of the Black Wood Forest.

While I was jumping on the tree, I suddenly heard the sound of "bang bang bang" punches and fierce fighting coming from the woods nearby.

At the same time, the trees over there fell to the ground.

Listening to the sound and looking at the momentum, the strength of both sides in the battle cannot be underestimated.

Luo Qingzhou did not dare to stay. Just as he was about to leave quickly, he suddenly saw a familiar figure wearing a mask appearing from the forest nearby.

He retreated and punched at the same time.

Chasing behind him were two young men, one tall and one short, both wearing black attire like him.
