The shadows are slanted, and the wooden windows cast a golden ray.

Huo Tianyou knelt down in the sun, he straightened his back, lowered his eyebrows and said happily: "Master, I really didn't expect to meet your old man here, I haven't seen you for many years, how are you doing?" ”

Uncle Zhang turned his back to him, a pair of thick eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and said indifferently: "Master? Who is your master? You can see clearly, the old man and I are just a commoner, living with my wife in the mountains and fields, how can I be your master. ”

Huo Tianyou was sad to hear this, and knelt down and said: "Although you are disguised in front of the disciple, how can the disciple forget your eyes?" The apprentice was seriously injured last night, and the night was heavy, so I couldn't recognize you and my wife, and I ask for your forgiveness. ”

Uncle Zhang sneered: "Forgive me? The old man can't stand it. He waved his hand and said, "You get up, I was not your master five years ago, and I can't stand your knees." ”

Huo Tianyou's amber eyes were dyed with sadness, he was silent for a moment, slowly looked up at Uncle Zhang's back and said, "Whether you recognize me as an apprentice or not, you are my master, and ...... For so many years, I haven't mentioned your identity to anyone, so I've never harmed you. ”

"You haven't mentioned it to anyone else?" Uncle Zhang turned around abruptly, his eyes swept over Huo Tianyou, and he said very coldly: "My identity is only known to you, if you haven't told others, then you tell me, what happened to those killers sent by the Dog Emperor back then?" ”

With a sad expression, he said in a trembling voice: "If it weren't for those killers, my granddaughter Xiaolian would not have died in vain." "The green tendons on Uncle Zhang's forehead protruded, and his face became more and more old." Do you remember when she was a kid and always chased you and called you brother? And in the past five years, have you ever known that I can't sleep at night, and my dreams are full of Xiaolian's blood......

Sneered again, Uncle Zhang said, "You still have the face to call me master?" It's merciful enough if I don't kill you, get out. ”

Huo Tianyou was stunned, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses and said, "Xiaolian, she ...... She's dead? ”

Uncle Zhang's eyebrows curled slightly, and he looked very painful, and said after a long time: "She was killed by a killer sent by the Dog Emperor, but she is still a child, a child like you......"

It's time to come. Uncle Zhang finally couldn't control his emotions. The old tears were shed.

Huo Tianyou's eyes lost focus, and he was dazed for a long time, and finally, he slammed his fist on the ground. With red eyes, he said, "Master." I swear to God. I, Huo Tianyou, have never revealed your true identity to anyone, and if I mention a word, I will not die well. ”

Uncle Zhang's eyes softened slightly. Looking at Huo Tianyou deeply, he asked, "You really didn't betray me back then?" ”

Huo Tianyou bowed heavily: "The apprentice has been taught the way of medicine by you for many years, how can he betray the master?" And you left with your wife and Xiaolian without leaving a word, and I secretly sent someone to find out your whereabouts, but I still found nothing. In the past five years, the apprentice has often thought of you and his wife, and of Xiaolian, but no matter how I visited, I couldn't find the slightest trace. ”

He sighed lightly and said slowly: "Think about it, you have been by my side for many years, if I really betrayed you and told you that you were an orphan of the previous dynasty, then what would the emperor think of our Huo family?" Will he let us go? ”

Uncle Zhang looked at him deeply again, was silent for a long time, and suffered in his heart for a long time before slowly tearing off a human skin mask from his face.

The ordinary old man changed his appearance in an instant, with well-defined facial features, deep eyes, and extremely white skin, he suddenly had a bit of a kingly domineering.

In fact, this old man Zhang was originally the orphan Zhou Yong of the Zhou family in the previous dynasty, after the Zhou family was replaced by the Liu family, he was raised by a imperial doctor in the palace in the people, under the pseudonym Zhang Yong, he also learned the salvation medicine with this imperial doctor.

By chance, he met the discerning Princess Huo again, and at the invitation of the princess, he and his wife Hou lived in Huo's house, and his duty was to teach Huo Tianyou's medical skills.

Huo Tianyou is extremely talented, and after getting along for a few years, he also treats Huo Tianyou as his own child.

There was nothing to talk about between the master and apprentice, and one day when he was drunk, he also told Huo Tianyou his true identity.

But who knows, within two months after Huo Tianyou knew his true identity, he would often receive some hints, or a letter, or an ancient painting from the previous dynasty, and the content was roughly to ask him to gather the old ministry to oppose the Liu family and restore the Zhou family.

A seven-foot man, it's time to recover the family business.

However, his wife Hou didn't want him to risk his life, the days she wanted were just ordinary days of raising her eyebrows, and the world was worthless to her.

After a long conversation all night, he decided to take his wife and young granddaughter to find a secluded hideaway.

However, the good times did not last long, just when they lived in peace, the emperor repeatedly sent killers to kill them, and under the pursuit, his only granddaughter Xiaolian was also killed by the killers, while he and his wife escaped, and since then they have lived in seclusion here with human skin masks.

thought that everything was over, but who knew that he would meet Huo Tianyou again......

Zhou Yong's eyes were slightly dark, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "You get up first." ”

Huo Tianyou couldn't help it, he said calmly: "Master, unless you believe me, I will definitely not get up." ”

"You threaten me?"

"No, I'm just betting, betting you'll believe me." He lowered his eyebrows silently and did not speak again.

After such a stalemate for a cup of tea, Zhou Yong finally sighed and said: "That's it, you get up, in fact, I also thought about it later, if you really betrayed me, then you should take me down in the Huo family, why bother waiting for me to leave the Huo family, and then try your best to catch me......"

Huo Tianyou hurriedly kowtowed when he heard this, and said happily: "Thank you Master for believing in me, thank you." ”

Zhou Yong personally picked him up, and said with concern: "Does the wound still hurt?" He sighed and said, "You kid, I haven't seen you for many years, your temperament is still so stubborn, and it hasn't changed at all." ”

Huo Tianyou smiled slightly, and his tone was much more relaxed: "Thank you Master for your concern, my wound is fine." Then he muttered, "No wonder I think your bandaging technique is very familiar, the feeling of déjà vu, if you think about it, you just used what you taught me in a different way......"

Zhou Yong nodded: "I'm afraid that you will find out, I thought we would miss it, but who knows that it was still recognized by your kid." He was a little depressed and said, "It seems that I am old, and I am not even easy to change my appearance." ”

Huo Tianyou shook his head and said: "It's not that you are easy to be bad, it's just engraved in my heart and I haven't forgotten you." ”

The master and apprentice got into a good relationship, and they were finally full of emotion.

The misunderstanding was solved, Zhou Yong was also in a good mood, and beckoned Huo Tianyou to sit down and said, "I'll go and let your master cook the dishes, and let's talk to each other." Then he smiled and said, "That little girl is your daughter-in-law?" (To be continued......)
