In the depths of the Xia family's compound, there is a simple bungalow here, where the old lady has been living since Xia Qiling, the eldest of the Xia family, was forced to escape into the empty door.

More than 20 years have passed, and the old lady rarely leaves here, and one of them is to go to Jieyang County to celebrate Xia Sujin's birthday.

Zhao Yan followed the old lady all the way here, and did not say a word during the period.

The same is true for Xia Sujin.

The furnishings in the room are also very simple, a simple living room, with only a simple wooden square table in the middle.

Around the square table, there are four chairs, and nothing else.

The living room and bedroom are separated only by a curtain, and behind the curtain is just an ordinary bed and a bedside table.

It is unimaginable that as one of the seven major families, the head mother of the Xia family, has been living here for twenty years.

For all this, Xia Sujin didn't feel anything wrong.

Obviously, she had long been used to it.

It's not the first time Zhao Yan has come here, dozens of minutes ago, he also came once.

It's just that I just came and went in a hurry, and I didn't pay much attention to it.

I was here ten years ago, but I was too young at that time to have no idea about it.

Now it seems that Zhao Yan's heart is a little turbulent.

As a practitioner, he is very aware of how important a good living environment is for the cultivation of only one person.

Although the cultivator's material requirements are not so demanding, but the living environment of this old lady is also too poor?

As soon as the old lady entered the door, she sat on the chair next to the square table and motioned for Xia Sujin and Zhao Yan to sit down as well.

The old lady looked at Zhao Yan gently and said, "Do you think that my old woman is too ruthless, and she is a little unkind to Xia Kangwen, who has been in love with husband and wife for decades?"

When Zhao Yan heard this, he didn't know how to answer.

If you take what Xia Kangwen did to Zhao Yan and his children, Xia Kangwen's fate is nothing, and it is even a little light.

However, if it is based on the relationship between Xia Kangwen and the old lady for nearly sixty years, it is indeed a bit heavy.

Seeing that Zhao Yan didn't answer, the old lady seemed to understand what Zhao Yan was thinking, and then glanced at Xia Sujin, and then said: "The Xia family was originally just a local force in Zhongzhou Luocheng. ”

"Fifty years ago, it suddenly rose to prominence, entered the capital strongly, and quickly grew into the sixth family of Huaxia, but other forces did not show rejection because of this. ”

"These are all the results of my Yang family's activities behind the scenes!"

Zhao Yan raised his head, it was the first time he had heard his grandmother's surname.

Of course, it was the first time I heard that there was such an amazing family as the Yang family.

To be able to help the Xia family gain a foothold in the capital, and steadily discover, the Yang family must also be remarkable.

Although Zhao Yan was full of curiosity about the Yang family, he didn't ask questions, because he knew that the old lady would continue to talk.

"You should already know about the Four Great Families and the Five Hidden Families. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yan nodded.

"Actually, there are more than five hidden families, but some small families are inconspicuous, silently cultivating, and painstakingly guarding their own inheritance!"

"Thirty years ago, my Yang family was suddenly wiped out, and hundreds of Yang family members were slaughtered by unknown forces. ”

"And I was able to save my life because I was in the world. ”

"I know what they want, and it's not the little inheritance of my Yang family?"

When the old lady said this, she slowly walked into the bedroom, Xia Sujin's mother and son glanced at each other, and there was an indescribable complexity in their eyes.

Through the curtain, Zhao Yan saw his grandmother take out a wooden box from under the bed.

The wooden box is very ordinary, and it looks like a random box made of a few wooden boards.

The old lady brought the wooden box in front of Zhao Yan and gently rotated it a few times towards the wooden handles on both sides.

The wooden box opened on its own.

Unexpectedly, a simple wooden box has such an exquisite design.

The wooden box was opened, and there was a very quaint book lying inside, which looked to be old.

"This is the secret of my Yang family, "Yang's Organ Technique". The old lady picked up the book, handed it to Zhao Yan and said.

"Tricks?" Zhao Yan repeated curiously, reaching out to take it.

Zhao Yan has learned about the art of "Qimen Dunjia" in ancient China, but those are only existing in some film and television works.

It's the first time I've seen a book like this that really carries a legacy.

In the Zilan Star Domain in the previous life, the mechanism technique was also called the puppet technique.

Whether it is a humanoid puppet or a variety of mechanism formations, they all have something to do with puppets.

Zhao Yan opened the "Yang's Organ Technique" and looked at it a few times, and his eyes suddenly glowed.

"This trick is very profound, is my grandmother going to pass it on to me?" asked Zhao Yan.

The old lady smiled, glanced at Xia Sujin, then turned her head and said, "Don't you have anything to ask?"

Seeing Zhao Yan's somewhat uncomfortable expression, the old lady smiled again and said, "For example, your life experience?"

Hmm? Does the old lady know that she is not her mother's biological son?

However, before she clearly said that her mother was born out of wedlock?

Hearing this, Xia Sujin's body trembled inexplicably.

Xia Sujin didn't dare to look at Zhao Yan's eyes anymore, she might also be afraid that Zhao Yan would ask questions in this regard.

Zhao Yan glanced at her mother who was bowing her head, and then looked at her grandmother, very entangled in her heart.

Grandma has already said this, what else can he choose.

"Please also ask grandma, mother to inform!" Zhao Yan finally asked.

The old lady looked at Xia Sujin and said, "Let's talk about it!"

Xia Sujin, who heard the words, was shocked again, and her emotions began to tense.

"Mom, if you don't want to say it, don't say it, I ...... It's okay!"

Zhao Yan knew very well why Xia Sujin was like this.

At the beginning, Xia Sujin broke with the Xia family for this Zhao Yan, who had no blood relationship with him.

Later, he ran to Xie County, where birds don't poop, and raised him with Zhao Zhenming.

The couple treated Zhao Yan better than their biological daughter Zhao Ke.

She had already guessed that Zhao Yan probably already knew that he was not her biological son.

She also felt that when Zhao Yan saw her now, it was very different from before.

Now, she is facing a situation where she is likely to lose Zhao Yan, she must be very uncomfortable in her heart!

"Son......" As soon as Xia Sujin spoke, tears gushed out at once.

Zhao Yan reached out and grabbed his mother's hand, just held it, and said emotionally: "Mom, no matter what the situation is, I am your son!"

After hearing Zhao Yan's words, wiping his tears and blowing his nose, Xia Sujin slowly spoke.

Eighteen years ago, Xia Sujin, who had just graduated from university, went to the west with his classmates.

A group of young people are together, like a fish into the sea and a bird in the sky, wandering freely among the magnificent rivers and mountains in the west.

It went very well and everyone was very happy.

However, when they arrived in Tibet, the unexpected happened.

At that time, they were playing on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau at an altitude of several thousand meters, when an earthquake suddenly struck.

At that time, there were many young people who traveled in groups, and they were also people who did not have much experience and social experience.

The earthquake struck, causing a wave of panic.

The earth shook, and everyone was shocked by the sudden earthquake.

At this time, a thin man stood up and told everyone not to panic, to stay calm, and to warn everyone that earthquake disasters are very common in the west.

He even taught everyone various precautions during the earthquake disaster in a timely manner

Under such circumstances, the thin man instantly became tall, even great.

And Xia Sujin, who had just entered the society, looked at the "glorious" image of the man, and was stunned for a while, forgetting that they were in the midst of an earthquake.

It was at this time that the unexpected happened.

The position where Xia Sujin was standing happened to be in a depression zone.

Just when Xia Sujin looked at the man in a daze, her feet suddenly sank.

"Be careful!" The man's eyes were quick and he grabbed Xia Sujin's hand.

However, due to the suddenness of the incident, it was under the premise of an earthquake disaster.

The man did not succeed in saving Xia Sujin, and even he himself was carried down by the inertial force of Xia Sujin's sinking.

"That man is Dad, right?" Zhao Yan suddenly interjected.

Xia Sujin smiled awkwardly and did not answer the question.

In fact, the answer is very clear.

"Your dad and I, I don't know how many days we've been trapped underground, or your dad was the first to wake up, and when he woke me up, I was terrified!"

"It's pitch black, and I don't know, how did he find me?"

When Zhao Yan heard this, he said with a smile: "There is a spirit in the heart!"

Xia Sujin glanced at Zhao Yan, and then said: "There is no sunlight, we are always in the dark, and we have no concept of time. ”

"All we know is that we've been trapped underground for a long, long time!"

"What makes us strange is that after being trapped for a long time without eating or drinking, we don't feel hungry or thirsty at all?"

"I don't even feel like I want to go to the toilet!"

"At that time, I also asked him if we were already dead, only the dead would not feel anything!"

He comforted me and said that we might not have been in the ground for a long time, but we were in a hurry, and we felt that it was a long time. ”

"Actually, I know he's lying to me, because, we've all woken up countless times, how can it not be long?"

Zhao Yan is very different, Xia Sujin has been talking about their travel and distress from beginning to end, but what does this have to do with himself?

But he didn't ask, because he was also interested in the romance of his father and mother.

"We talked a lot about it together, from history, geography, astronomy, and even biogenetics. This is a common trait of students who have just left school, right?

Hearing this, Zhao Yan really despised his father Zhao Zhenming fiercely in his heart.

In front of the beautiful woman, she only talked about these dry things, which is really unenlightening.

Xia Sujin is too, such a boring man, how did she fall in love with him?

Xia Sujin didn't know what Zhao Yan was thinking, and then said, "Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared directly in front of us. ”

"We were so happy that we thought we were saved, so we immediately got up and ran towards the light!"

"When we were running, we could feel that we were going uphill, and our heart was not just ours. ”

"But we couldn't hear anything, and we didn't feel that anyone was calling us. ”

"Until that baby's cry sounds!"

When Zhao Yan heard this, he smiled wryly: "It turns out that I am just a baby abandoned in the earthquake?"
