Chapter 378: The Mourning Hall

The midnight wind blew away the fog and drifted into the candle-filled mourning hall. At such a moment, there is no longer the wailing and noise of the day, only the boundless silence that awaits the people who keep watch.

Burial is a custom that has disappeared in the Federation for almost a thousand years. This way of taking up land and affecting the environment is really inconsistent with the policy of saving every drop of resources that the Federation has always advocated. But in the Xiong family, it is still firmly enforced. Not only the Xiong family, but the Qihe Seven surname has always adhered to this strange custom. And, they call this "Entering the Ground for Peace".

The people who entered the earth were indeed quiet. However, it is difficult for people outside the soil to calm down immediately. In the courtyard outside the mourning hall, a tall and burly figure was looking at the kneeling woman in the mourning hall through the dim candlelight, his eyes were sometimes angry, sometimes confused.

In the yellow coffin with a certain cool smell, the corpse of the deceased should have been placed, but at this moment, there were only blue-gray stones here. Large or small, oddly shaped, barely put together, at first glance it seems to be the image of a person.

This is the mourning hall of Xiong Xiaoling, which has been turned into stone.

It is also the mourning hall of the future head of the Xiong family!

Xiong Xiaoling, who can only be regarded as a remote side branch of the Xiong family, in addition to having such an identity, is also the fiancée of Xiong Zuoyan, the son of the Xiong family. Of course, this statement has never been put on the table. It's just that this is just a private agreement between the man and the woman, and it has not really won the consent of both parents. This marriage is naturally very willing for Xiong Xiaoling's parents. But on Xiong Zuoyan's side, Xiong Ling, as the head of the Xiong family, is more concerned about marriage with other families - his son is the most outstanding one of the seven surnames, much better than the Zhao family and the Ying family. Not to mention the losers of the Ji family, the Han family, and the Wei family, Mr. Hao and the anti-bone boy. Originally, what he liked the most was the Ying family's Ying Wujian, but since Ying Yi fell out with the old man of the winning family, Ying Wujian was cultivated by the other party as a successor, and it was impossible to marry into the Xiong family as a wife. And the daughter of the Zhao family has a marriage contract with the Wei family. The rest of the families were left with the girl from the Tian family who suffered from atavism. But this ...... It's impossible. His own son still hopes to pass on the ancestry, whether there is a possibility of inheriting the atavism to the next generation, but there are still some hidden dangers in children with such genes. And the Tian family, on the other hand, categorically will not marry their daughter. Even if Tian Qi's parents agreed, Tian Fu's madman would never agree - it is said that the guy has not given up his search and attempt at the treatment of atavism so far, and that girl is simply his reverse scales, and anyone who touches it will peel off his skin.

Because such and such things keep happening, and because such important things really need to be thought through. So about Xiong Zuoyan's marriage, it has always been suspended there. And the relationship between Xiong Xiaoling and Xiong Zuoyan was also more carefully hidden under such circumstances. Later, when his son joined the army and the two were separated, there were fewer people who knew about the relationship. Only a very small number of people know that for a period of time, Xiong Ling, the head of the family, did include Xiong Xiaoling in the category of "daughter-in-law".

But now, the person who had turned around in Xiong Ling's mind turned into a stone and lay quietly in the coffin!

How can he explain to his son who is about to return!

Thinking of this, Xiong Ling clenched his fists fiercely, his eyes sank slightly, and he walked towards the mourning hall.

"Why didn't you save her then?" Without looking at his daughter kneeling in front of the brazier burning with yellow paper, Xiong Ling looked at Xiong Xiaoling's portrait and asked coldly. The funeral rites of the Federation have been changed and simplified countless times, but the Xiong family has always adhered to this set of rules that have been handed down from the time of their ancestors: yellow paper, white candles, and wearing linen and filial piety.

"This is the fourth time you've asked me." Bowing her head and quietly feeding paper money to the stove, the woman with the mask replied without raising her head, "I still say the same thing: the situation at that time was too fast, we didn't make any preparations at all, and by the time I was not right, Xiaoling had completely turned into stone." ”

The answer was exactly the same as the previous three times, which made Xiong Lingyue angry: "Even if she has turned into stone at that time, then you should try to save her!" Why did you leave her and run away alone? You should have saved her! ”

"Because I'm afraid!" The cold eyes fell on Xiong Ling's body through the mask, making him shudder a little: "That card beast's petrification ability is too powerful. It seems that anyone it sees will be turned to stone. I don't want to be stoned. ”

"So you're watching others turn to stone? Good! Good! Good! Okay, very Xiong Yuanyi! How can I Xiong Ling have such a daughter as you! Selfishness and arrogance! You want to leave the bear family, I promised. If you want to set up your own household, I won't stop you. If you want people, I will give you people, and if you want money, I will give you money! But why do you still have this attitude! You say, now how do you want me to explain to your brother!? ”

"I will personally apologize to Brother Zuo Yan for this matter, and my father doesn't have to worry." Sticking his neck, Xiong Yuanyi replied.

Xiong Ling's face turned red for a while, and Xiong Yuan was speechless. This daughter paid little attention to herself when she was a child, and because of her ugly appearance, the entire Xiong family was rarely paid attention to. But since the other party became one of the "distant friends and close attackers", whether it was voluntary or forced, the Xiong family had to devote more energy and money to her in order to maintain a friendly relationship with Lin Jin in Xinghua District. But because of his childhood experience, Xiong Yuanyi has always been lukewarm to the Xiong family, and his attitude is like a passerby. This made Xiong Ling angry more than once. This time, this woman indirectly killed the woman his son liked, and he really didn't know how to face what was about to happen.

The two of them have never tasted right.

"Then I'll hear how you apologize to me."

Some ethereal voices were blown by the wind and reached the ears of the two of them, faint and faint at first, but then they were already very clear. The two people in the mourning hall were shocked, and they suddenly turned their heads in surprise and joy, and saw that in the courtyard outside, there was already a huge figure shrouded in smoke at some point.

In the smoke, the figure looked a little fat, after all, his height and waist were eight feet, and the boxy one looked a little short, but in fact, he was a little giant of the Xiong family.

"Yan'er." Looking at the man in the courtyard, Xiong Ling's eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but call.

"Father, I'm back." The rumored young master of the Xiong family, the first A-level card servant in the Federation, finally came back after leaving the Xiong family for three years!
