Chapter 2: The Fire
"Mademoiselle wants you to go to the underworld. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Hearing this, the Yin Lord was stunned, and Han Yan took the initiative to find himself, this seems to be the first time, right? He couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's the matter?" ”
Huihui smiled mysteriously: "It's nothing, I'm looking for you to be a coolie." ”
As soon as she said this, the Yin Lord became even more curious. He thought for a moment and said, "It's okay for me to go, but you also know that there have been a lot of things in the Yin and Yang Realm of life and death recently, and I'm afraid that there will be some conflict between the two." ”
"You mean the decisive battle between the two of you?" Huihui asked.
Seeing that the Yin Lord nodded, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry about this matter, you can't fight at all." ”
"Huh? How do you say that? Hearing this, Yin Xiao was a little uneasy, and hurriedly asked the reason.
But Huihui didn't intend to tell him, but just reminded: "Anyway, it's good for you to step up the rectification of the family during this time, although you won't have a fight this time, but you will fight in the future." ”
After that, she said to the Yin Lord: "Miss knows that you have experienced a lot of things this is a difficult time, and your state is very bad, so she specially asked me to tell you that you will go after resting at home, and you don't need to be too anxious about the affairs of the Stygian Sea." ”
She said these words a little vaguely, but neither Yin Xiao nor Yin Lord continued to ask, and they all made it clear. After that, Huihui did not stay any longer, and left the Yin family and returned to the Styx.
When Huihui left, all the elders also dispersed, and only Yin Xiao's father and son were left in the living room.
"What can the Lord of the Stygian Sea do when he is looking for you?" Yin Xiao frowned slightly, and asked Yin Lord.
The Yin Lord shook his head, nesting on the sofa and looking very lazy: "How do I know this, since it is said to be a coolie, then it is estimated that there is something for me to do, and I will know when I go to see." ”
Yin Xiao nodded, he wasn't too worried about his son's safety: "Then when are you going to go?" ”
Raising his head and yawning, the Yin Lord pouted and said, "Tomorrow I will rest for a day, the day after tomorrow, and go to the Stygian Sea the night after tomorrow." ”
After relaxing, the Yin Lord felt that his stomach was empty, and a wave of hunger hit him. He asked, "Dad, is there anything else to eat in the kitchen now?" ”
Yin Xiao nodded: "There should be some more, I'll ask someone to make a little for you." ”
Hearing this, the Yin Lord waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's already so late, don't bother others, I'll deal with it myself." ”
With that, he stumbled off the couch and staggered to the kitchen.
Watching the Yin Lord leave, Yin Xiao pursed his lips, his brows locked all the time. He could see that the Yin Lord was in a very bad state now, as if he had been seriously ill not long ago, but it seemed that he didn't want to tell himself, and he didn't want to ask. When my son grows up, he has secrets in his heart, and there are always some things that he can't interfere with.
It was already late, and Yin Xiao sat motionless on the sofa and did not go back to rest. Regarding what Huihui said, he had some doubts in his heart that he hadn't thought clearly.
According to what Hui Hui said, the duel between the Fire family camp and the three major families will not happen in the short term, at least not ten days later, so it means that there will definitely be some changes in this. Now that the Fire Family camp is already in full swing to prepare, it seems that nothing will go wrong, that is to say, the problem lies with the three major families, and it is very likely that they will regret it.
In this way, the lord's move was just to buy some time for the three major families. But what can they do in just ten days? Could it be that within ten days, the strength of the three major families will be able to reach a balance with or even surpass the Huo family's side? It's unlikely.
Yin Xiao sat there with a frown, his brain racing, analyzing all the possibilities from the information currently known. But now they know too little about the situation of the three major families, and they really can't share anything of value.
The night was dark, and the lights of the Yin Manor were on for a long time in the dark night. Occasionally, a few wild beasts that roamed here were curious and wanted to go inside to have a look, but they were so impressed by the majesty that they did not dare to approach a single step, and could only hide in the shadows and watch curiously. Lights represent civilized societies, a world they can never discover.
In the kitchen of the Yin family, the Yin Lord was feasting with a big bowl. There were only a few leftovers left, but for him who had only eaten a few wild fruits a week, it was good. Having filled himself with a large bowl of cold rice, poured all the messy leftovers into it, and prepared a cup of hot drinks for himself, the Yin Lord now felt so happy that he was about to fly.
He felt that he hadn't eaten at home for a long time, and now he felt extra sweet. He was already hungry, and he happened to be the only one here, so he simply stopped caring about any image, shook off his cheeks and began to eat nonsense.
"Do you want me to do some more for you?"
He was eating happily when he heard a voice that startled him. Hurriedly raised his head and saw that it was Huo Liuli.
In fact, Huo Liuli knew about it when the Yin Lord first came back, but when Huihui came before, she didn't show up to avoid suspicion, and stayed in the room all the time. Now that Huihui was gone, she noticed that the Yin Lord had come to the kitchen, and she thought that he must be hungry by now, so she went downstairs to see what was going on.
At this time, it was already midnight, and Huo Liuli had already fallen asleep, and now she was still wearing pajamas. Seeing this, the Yin Lord laboriously swallowed the contents of his mouth, picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, and then said, "No need, I'm almost done after eating these." Why don't you sleep so late? ”
"Insomnia, can't sleep." Huo Liuli walked over, pulled over a chair and sat down, and brought the Yin Lord's hot drink.
Stuffing a large spoonful of rice into his mouth, the Yin Lord said a little vaguely while eating: "What's the matter, is there anything on your mind?" ”
Huo Liuli shook his head: "There's nothing on your mind, it's just insomnia." ”
Nodding, the Yin Lord expressed his understanding: "Probably because I was very busy before, and there was a thread in my heart that was tight, but now I am suddenly relaxed, and the whole person is not adaptable." ”
"Probably," Huo Liuli took a sip of the hot drink, and then lay down on the table.
While constantly stuffing things into her mouth, the Yin Lord observed her state. He asked, "Huihui came before, you should know, right?" ”
"Yes, I also knew you were going to the Styx." Huo Liuli said without raising his eyelids.
The Yin Lord nodded, and continued to stuff the spoon into his mouth: "If you are okay, you can go with me." ”
Raising his head, he took another sip of hot drink, and then fell down again, and Huo Liuli said in a sullen voice: "Forget it, since she took the initiative to find you, there must be something important, so I won't go." ”
"There's nothing going on in the Yin and Yang Realm of Life and Death during this time, won't you be bored here?" The Yin Lord asked with a frown.
Pushing the hot drink back in front of him, Huo Liuli sighed lightly and said, "It's okay, in fact, it's boring anyway, even if I go to the Stygian Sea, I still don't have anything to do in the face of endless water aversion." ”
Hearing this, the Yin Lord raised his eyebrows, and Huo Liuli said the same. Then he said, "By the way, there's something I want to ask you. ”
After swallowing the contents of his mouth, he paused for a moment and asked, "Huo Canglan is your uncle, right?" ”
Huo Liuli frowned slightly, raised her head and sat up straight: "Yes, what are you asking for?" ”
The Yin Lord didn't explain, but continued to ask, "Did he die early?" ”
Nodding, Huo Liuli said, "That's right, I don't even remember when he died." ”
Smacking his lips, the Yin Lord snorted lightly and said, "Sure enough, it's really someone from your Fire Family." ”
"What do you mean? Make it clear. Huo Liuli's brows furrowed tightly, and she had a bad premonition in her heart for a while.
Shoved the last spoonful of rice into his mouth, the Yin Lord swallowed it almost without chewing much. He threw the spoon into the bowl, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said, "Your uncle, Huo Canglan, is the lord behind the three great families. ”
Unexpectedly, after hearing such an abrupt news, Huo Liuli didn't have a surprised expression on his face. She just fell back on the table and said nothing.
Glancing at her, the Yin Lord continued, "The impermanence remnant soul we met in Z Big before is also him. ”
Huo Liuli still kept her mouth closed and continued to be silent, but the atmosphere in the room was suppressed.
Pushing the hot drink in front of her to her, the Yin Lord said, "It's actually none of your business, don't worry too much." ”
Slowly sitting up straight, Huo Liuli poured a large sip of hot drink, then put the empty cup back on the table, and said, "Actually, it's nothing, but I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." ”
"He chose to control the three major families against your Fire Family, which already explains your choice and position at the beginning, you don't have to feel sad." The Yin Lord comforted.
Huo Liuli shook his head and said, "I'm not talking about this, I'm just here for ...... Feel sorry for him. ”
"When I was young, I always heard my father say that I originally had an uncle, and the relationship between the two brothers was very good, and there was never anything incompatible, so in my concept, the uncle has always been a very good person. But when he did appear, I found that my impression was all wrong, and this contrast ...... It's hard to accept. ”
Shaking her head helplessly, she smiled bitterly: "Moreover, after all, he is my relative, and we are enemies, which is really not a pleasant thing." ”
The Yin Lord understood her mood very well, but he couldn't think of any words to comfort her for a while. He could only hold her hand silently and convey his thoughts with the warmth of his palm.
Grinning, Huo Liuli said, "Actually, I'm fine, don't worry about me." To me, after all, he was just a memory, and it didn't do anything other than make me feel uncomfortable for a moment. ”
After a pause, she asked, "Does my father know about this?" ”
The Yin Lord nodded.
Sighing lightly, Huo Liuli said, "Actually, if you want to say that you are sad, it should be my father who is the most sad." After all, they are brothers, and now they can only fight each other. ”
"At least Uncle Fire is right, he hasn't been blinded by brotherhood." The Yin Lord said softly.
Huo Liuli smiled: "Of course, no matter what, my father is also the head of the Impermanence Fire Family, and this point can still be clearly distinguished." ”
She ruffled her hair, and when she heard the news in the middle of the night, she felt less sleepy. She pouted and said, "Well, I'm getting worse insomnia now, are you satisfied?" ”
The Yin Lord smiled helplessly and said, "You already have insomnia, okay, what I said about this thing is just to help you lift your spirits." ”
Huo Liuli pouted, and wanted to say something, but when she saw the red bloodshot in the Yin Lord's eyes, her heart softened again. She patted his hand and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it, it's late now, you haven't rested well before, go to sleep." ”
When she said this, the Yin Lord did feel sleepiness welling up, but he still asked; "What about you?"
"I'll go back to sleep too," Huo Liuli's brows furrowed, "Although I'm still insomnia, but I can't sleep after all, I don't want to appear with two dark circles under my eyes tomorrow." ”
The Yin Lord groaned for a moment and said, "In this way, if you really can't sleep, we will go out for a walk, maybe you will be sleepy after taking a walk and feeling better." ”
"Now?" Huo Liuli glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was already two o'clock in the morning. She shook her head and said, "Forget it, don't toss, go out for a walk with the wild wolf at night?" ”
She stood up and stretched, and said with a smile: "Although it is said that I am not sleepy, but in fact I am a little tired, I think we should all go to sleep, and it will be dawn after a while." ”
Hearing this, the Yin Lord shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything more, just admonished: "Okay, then go back and rest, it's really late." ”
Huo Liuli nodded, turned around and left.
When she walked to the door, she suddenly turned around and called the Yin Lord, who was packing up her things: "Yin Lord." ”
"Huh?" While wiping the table, the Yin Lord raised his head to look at the fire glass.
pursing his lips, Huo Liuli spoke, "You...... When to go to the Styx? ”
Wrinkling his nose, the Yin Lord said, "The day after tomorrow, the night after tomorrow." ”
Huo Liuli sighed, nodded, and then asked, "Then when will you come back?" ”
"I don't know about this, I don't know what Hanyan is looking for me, but it shouldn't be long." The Yin Lord told the truth.
Huo Liuli nodded and smiled, "It's okay." ”
When she turned around, the Yin Lord seemed to suddenly realize something, and stopped her: "Liuli." ”
"Huh?" Huo Liuli turned to look at him, not knowing what he had called him to stop him.
Pursing his lips, the Yin Lord hesitated for a moment and said, "Hmm...... Probably the matter of the Yin and Yang Realm of Life and Death will not be over for long, so come out for a walk with me then. ”
"Where?" Huo Liuli readily agreed.
"Let's talk about it, let's make an appointment first." The Yin Lord smiled.
Huo Liuli smiled, nodded, and turned to leave.
The Yin Lord sighed lightly, looked at the starlight outside the window, and thought in his heart.
