Sure enough, they didn't come back all day. In the afternoon, the fox and I simply packed up our salutes and tied them to the horses that Gao and I had ridden in the first place, ready to leave the Ghost Valley.

It's just that I still want to say goodbye to Gao gradually before leaving, and I will wait until it gets dark.

Except for the two who went to the ancestral hall, the people in Guigu gathered at Mrs. Xu's house to make tea and roast the fire. Moreover, the atmosphere was still a little heavy, and Yu Lingyun, who was chattering in the past day, was kneeling quietly at this time, and the wooden man was staring at the charcoal fire.

Jiang Wuxia held her hand with a gentle face and pulled it tightly.

The old lady was cooking tea on the side, but she was also a little absent-minded. There will always be some kind of sensitivity between family members, especially family members who have been living together, and they can almost detect the mood of each member after too much time.

Even I, an outsider, saw Mrs. Xu's loneliness, how could they not be aware of it?

"Mother, can't you persuade your father anymore? He's that old. If you want revenge, you have to wait for us together! What's that decision? Yu Lingyun was the first to break the silence, obviously in a complaining tone, but the expression on her face was full of worry.

The tea bowl I held to my lips stopped, and I peeked at the fox, and saw that he was also looking at me inexplicably.

When we were packing, we guessed that Mrs. Xu would go directly to the dragon-taming forces that we got from the thief's mouth to take revenge. I also thought that he would use the power of the entire Guigu, after all, it was the revenge that my brother failed to complete.

But listening to Yu Lingyun's words, it doesn't seem to mean that.

"Whether it succeeds or not, let your dad go by himself. He insisted on his whole life, and this time he still relied on his choice to let him do his part for the Xu family. Otherwise, even if he died, he would not be blind. The old lady's face was calm, as if she was talking about someone else's business.

Yu Lingyun held Jiang Wuxia's hand: "Wuxia, do you think the same way?" People die like lights go out, and uncles have given up seeking revenge when they are alive, why is my father going now? ”

"Lingyun, don't be too angry. Be careful. Jiang Wuxia calmly comforted her, not at all like the soft man who only listened to his daughter-in-law's words before, he also showed a rational side, "Give up or not, it's all in people's hearts." Dad is different from uncle, but dad must have his own reasons. ”

Yu Lingyun pursed her lips and turned her face away.

Jiang Wuxia could only smile bitterly: "Dad was angered by the fact that the thief broke the formation this time, and the murder case of the uncle's family happened to be done by a group of people." Dad may not want to be like Ghost Valley and Uncle's family. ”

"Then it is even more necessary for the entire Guigu people to take revenge together, what is it for him to go alone? I also told my mother that I would hand over the Ghost Valley to my junior brother and go without worry, and my father didn't plan to come back alive at all! Yu Lingyun shook off Jiang Wuxia's hand violently, and turned to the old lady and said, "Mother, who is Dad going to take revenge?!" ”

It turned out that they didn't know that Mrs. Xu was going to take revenge on the dragon training forces. Does the old lady know?

I was a little confused, but I also knew that this was not the time to be curious. Moreover, this is still a family matter in their ghost valley, and I always feel a little embarrassed to listen here. It is estimated that the fox has the same idea as me, he clenched his fists and coughed lightly: "Everyone, I will go out with the clumsy thorn......"

"You don't need to shy away." The old lady spoke out hurriedly, and the old man's face was a little helpless, "Actually, I am also selfish in my old body, hoping that you can help persuade the old man." At the very least, let the kids do a favor. ”

The fox and I looked at each other and put the leg back in again.

After a short silence, the old lady finally adjusted her breathing and told her worries: "As soon as the old man came back last night, he told me that he would officially teach the ghost valley to the child who was gradually leaving in front of the ancestral hall. and entrust us with him. He wants to take revenge without any worries. ”

I couldn't help but hold my breath, this is the reason why Mrs. Xu's back is lonely!

"At the beginning, I also heard about the bloody case at my eldest brother's house. It was the work of a mysterious dragon training force. It's a pity that the court of Lu State, where the eldest brother's family lives, is incapable of chasing the murderer, and there is no shadow of that force on the rivers and lakes. Even the eldest brother gave up seeking revenge. For a time, everyone thought that the force did not exist. ”

The old lady fiddled with the charcoal fire, and the sparks crackled and flew out.

Yu Lingyun was already dumbfounded, looking at that was the first time she heard that the dragon training force really existed, and the fox and I had to pretend to be shocked to cooperate with her. Jiang Wuxia's expression was a little calmer, although he was also shocked, his face was not as exaggerated as Yu Lingyun's.

It was also at that time that the old man heard the old man talk about his own affairs. The Xu family once picked up a dragon and is ready to become a beast taming family in the future. However, the old man's ambitions are not the same as those of his family. He insisted on himself, left home since he was a child, and chose his own path. Many years later, the official contact began with the Nazhuang extermination case. ”

The old lady's face reflected the beating fire, and the brightness in her eyes seemed to be burning for the past.

Even people like me and the fox who have experienced a thousand ups and downs can't help but sigh for her words, but I know that Mrs. Xu must not have said it all to the old lady himself. The important reason why he chose to insist that he left the Xu family was not that the Xu family was developing towards a "beast taming family".

It was their family that had the bloodline of the Fenglong Clan that was already too thin, and that dragon was the last dragon of the Xu family. If you don't want to find another way out, the Xu family is afraid that it will decline and disappear.

"When the eldest brother found us, his family had already been killed. I heard that the dragon I picked up is gone. He was going to recuperate in the Ghost Valley for a period of time before seeking revenge, but in the end he couldn't find where the murderer was. Time has grinded Big Brother from an angry madman to a decadent madman. He gave up seeking revenge. That was his personal wish, and the old man could only respect his thoughts. ”

I picked up the bowl again and took a sip of warm tea. There is no sweetness, only bitterness.

"Mother, I don't understand my father more and more. Wasn't it the dead Lou Miaoyan who kidnapped us this time? Why did my father suddenly pay attention to the matter of that mysterious force and the revenge that the uncle had already given up? Could it be that the person behind Lou Miaoyan is that force? ”

Yu Lingyun speculated about Mrs. Xu's reason for doing this, but she denied herself: "Impossible, that woman is obviously here to force marriage." She didn't look like she was being manipulated by anyone. What the hell happened to Dad? ”

"Naturally, the woman was not manipulated by others. It's up to your dad to decide these ideas. He said that he has insisted on himself since he was a child, and he has never insisted on it for his family. This time, he wanted to use his last time to make the last insistence on his family. I understand him, but I can't just let him go. ”
