The proposal was successful, and Xu Xingguang immediately stood up.

She jumped from the promenade to the yard, picked up the corn stalks, broke off the tender corn on it, and said to Huo Wen'an, "You are not feeling well, we will eat corn paste at noon."

After speaking, Xu Xingguang asked Huo Wen'an, "Have you ever eaten this?" It's rare to eat pure corn paste anymore.

Huo Wen'an said: "I ate it when I was a child, when the Zhong family's grandmother was still alive, and she had an old antique stone mill at home, and she would get some corn every time it was just ripe. She had a little granddaughter, who was only five years old at the time, and she could play with my sister. I went to pick up my sister and ate at her house."

Huo Wen'an couldn't remember the specific taste of the bowl of corn paste, but he remembered that it was very sweet.

"To be handsome is to be likeable." Xu Xingguang said.

Huo Wen'an shook his head, "With such a mother, they don't dare to get too close to me."

Whoever shows too much concern for Huo Wen'an, Huo's mother will be yin and yang, and she will punish Huo Wen'an when she comes back. Therefore, those neighbors in the town did not dare to be kind to Huo Wen openly.

Occasionally, Huo Wen'an would pass by in front of their house on his bicycle when he went to school, and they would secretly give him a handful of candy, a handful of peanuts, something that they thought was suitable for a child.

Therefore, Huo Wen'an has an incomparably deep sense of attachment to this town.

No matter how big and luxurious Shenyin Island is, it will never be able to reach the small town at the foot of Cangshan Mountain in his memory.

He can't forget the sweetness of the lotus pod, the corn paste that exudes a rich fragrance, and the chubby black girl next door, although naughty, he always likes to stand in the yard and look up at him and smile sweetly, and then call him a drunken brother's little girl softly.

Xu Xingguang originally planned to go back to the house to cook.

But she obviously didn't want to leave again, and wanted to stay and listen to Huo Wen'an talk about his childhood and youth.

Xu Xingguang got up and went into the house and went to Huo Wen'an's kitchen to get a basket.

After coming out, she sat informally on the floor in front of Huo Wen'an's toes, with a pair of long legs hanging under the corridor.

Xu Xingguang held the small basket and chatted with Huo Wenan while peeling corn kernels.

She asked Huo Wen'an, "Have all those people in the town moved away?"

Huo Wen'an said, "It's almost, many old people are no longer there." For example, Grandma Zhong, who left him at home and drank corn paste.

"During the Dragon Boat Festival this year, Uncle Xie also came to you and wanted to invite you to the annual party in the town. But when you went back, I was busy during that time, so I didn't go."

Xu Xingguang asked Huo Wen'an, "Will you go to the Dragon Boat Festival next year?"

Next year, tomorrow, in the future. Originally, these were words that made Huo Wenan feel resistant from the bottom of his heart, but now when he heard the word next year, his heart was full of expectations and yearning.

"Okay." Huo Wen'an's dark eyes added a smile, he looked at Xu Xingguang's jade-like flawless side face, and suddenly said, "Our wedding will be held in Cangshan Town, okay?"

He solemnly said, "When the time comes, I will invite all the townspeople who have moved to come over for our wedding. Let them also see how good the wife of the Huo family kid is."

Xu Xingguang's ears flushed slightly when he heard this. "You don't have to praise me like that."

"You're already good."

In this world, there are many excellent girls, and there are also many beautiful girls. But he is good-looking and excellent, and Huo Wen'an likes it, but there is only Xu Xingguang.

"You were young, you probably don't remember." Huo Wen'an told Xu Xingguang: "When your mother lived here, no one knew that she was the great writer Mo Yinshu, and they thought your mother was a single mother. At that time, a lot of grandmothers in the town wanted to introduce your mother."

Huo Wen'an thought of something interesting, he said, "I remember, at that time, there was a doctor Ying who opened a Chinese medicine hall in the town, and he called your mother very much, and went to your yard every once in a while to deliver things."

"Later, when I learned that your mother was a married woman, I was depressed for a long time. When the town was expropriated by the government, he was one of the first to move out of this sad place. I just came back to Cangshan Town

Son, I've heard them talk about Dr. Win, and say he's still single."

"Anything like that?" Xu Xingguang really doesn't remember these gossips.

She asked Huo Wen'an, "Is Doctor Win handsome?"

Huo Wen'an thought carefully before saying, "It's okay, it's still a little worse than me."

"You have a face."

Huo Wen'an smiled sullenly, and he said again, "Let's get married, we must invite Dr. Ying over to have a look." However, he is now working at the Xia Guo Chinese Medicine Hall, so he may not have time to come back to our wedding."

Xia Guo Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall, which is the place with the highest attainment in traditional Chinese medicine in the world.

The doctors who can enter the Chinese medicine hall to work are all traditional Chinese doctors.

Xu Xingguang was a little surprised, "Doctor Win is so powerful?"

Huo Wen'an looked at Xu Xingguang with deep eyes, and he said earnestly, "Xingguang, my point is that his surname is Win."

Xu Xingguang's eyes condensed slightly.

Win.

The other party is a Chinese doctor.

Xu Xingguang couldn't help but think of the family of traditional Chinese medicine surnamed Ying who lived in seclusion, and there were several cases of P blood type in their family.

"Do you think that Dr. Win might be a family member?"

Huo Wen'an did guess again.

"Since 700 years ago, winners have appeared in the annals of the ancient kingdoms. Although the Huo family also has a long history, the Huo family really ushered in a glorious moment more than 300 years ago."

"If you really want to talk about the long history, the Huo family is not worthy of the winner." Laughing sarcastically, Huo Wen'an told Xu Xingguang: "My mother has been winning the idea of winning the family recently, and wants the little princess of the winning family to marry my younger brother."

"If they really get married, my brother's prestige in the Huo family will rise. As soon as I die, he will be able to ascend to the throne."

Shaking his head, Huo Wenan sighed with emotion, "It's a pity, I don't seem to be able to die."

Xu Xingguang raised her head and looked at the smile on Huo Wen'an's face, she said, "Don't laugh like this, it's ugly."

Throwing away the corn cob in his hand, Xu Xingguang raised his right hand and gently pressed the corner of Huo Wen'an's mouth with his fingers stained with the scent of corn.

She pushed her fingertips up, and Huo Wen'an smiled.

"Our drunken brother is so good-looking, if you don't want to laugh, you can't laugh, but you can't laugh against your will like just now. You're so good-looking, you should laugh uncontrollably."

Xu Xingguang can always easily poke Huo Wen'an's heart.

Huo Wen'an stared at his hands that were as weak as dead wood, and asked Xu Xingguang in a dumb voice, "Do I look good like this?"

Xu Xingguang said, "There is a shih h in the eyes of a lover."

Huo Wenan grabbed Xu Xingguang's two fingers, lowered his head, and kissed her nails.

Xu Xingguang often works, and his nails are kept short, but they are rounded.

Huo Wen'an kissed and kissed, and the yellow material began to play in his head again.

Xu Xingguang withdrew his hand and said expressionlessly, "Don't think about me in your head, hurry up, when you're ready, let's play all the little movies in your head again."

Thinking that Huo Wen'an had the talent to be a director, Xu Xingguang asked him curiously, "When you are thinking about those things, will you arrange the plot?" From the perspective of fantasy, should we also strive for beauty?"

Huo Wen'an's face was flushed when he was asked by Xu Xingguang.

"I... I'm tired." Huo Wenan picked up a thin blanket and covered his face, selectively pretending to be dead.

Xu Xingguang smiled playfully, and then returned to her own yard with the pot of corn kernels.

At noon, Ye Mingluo stepped on the meal and came to the small courtyard.

When Ye Mingluo came, Huo Wen'an was raising his left hand to look at the sun, and there was a vague smile on his lips.

Ye Mingluo felt rare, so he looked at Huo Wen'an's finger.

"What's on your hand?" Ye Mingluo was a little surprised.

Huo Wen'an glanced at Ye Mingluo, "Ring, don't you know it?"

"Of course I know it's a ring." Ye Mingluo grabbed Huo Wen'an's hand and stared at the ring twice

Thinking of a possibility, he said in disbelief, "Isn't it drunk, my master proposed to you?"

Huo Wen'an nodded, "Yes, Starlight proposed to me."

"You're a man, how can you get a girl to propose?"

Huo Wen'an withdrew his hand, and he said, "You are a single dog, naturally you don't understand this kind of taste."

Ye Mingluo pursed his lips.

He couldn't help but look at Huo Wen'an's middle finger, the pure black gemstone ring was worn on Huo Wen'an's cold white finger, it was indeed very good-looking. "This black gem ring suits you perfectly."

Huo Wen'an stared at the black Luofei stone on the ring and smiled again. "Well, of course."

Xu Xingguang really didn't lie to him.

It is true that the Lofe Stone only emits a blue glow when it feels true love.

Therefore, when Xu Xingguang left and Ye Mingluo came over, Luo Feishi returned to its original appearance.

Soon, Xu Xingguang made lunch and called them over to eat.

Ye Mingluo ran faster than Huo Wen'an.

In the past few days, Ye Mingluo has tasted Xu Xingguang's cooking skills and has long been conquered by Xu Xingguang. Therefore, he stepped on the food every day to eat and drink.

Huo Wen'an only ate a few small bites, and his stomach felt full.

Xu Xingguang saw that he had stopped chopsticks, so he said, "Cheng Yue, they should be almost there, you pack up your important things and prepare to go back to Shenyin Island."

Suddenly hearing this, Huo Wen'an was still a little dazed.

"You're going to drive me away?" Huo Wen'an's tone sounded so aggrieved and hurt.

He was only proposed by Xu Xingguang in the morning, and was ruthlessly driven away by Xu Xingguang in the afternoon.

Why isn't Huo Wen'an sad in his heart?

Huo Wen'an wanted to return to Shenyin Island, and Ye Mingluo naturally had to follow. He didn't want to go back to Shenyin Island at all now, he just wanted to stay in Cangshan Town, eat and drink with Xu Xing's optical medical skills.

Ye Mingluo also echoed on the side: "Ah Zui's health is not well, what are you going to do at this time?"

But Xu Xingguang has already made a decision.

She looked at Ye Mingluo and told him, "You bring back the marrow cleansing pill, give it to him every ten days, and rest for three days after taking the medicine. The marrow washing pills are all gone, and the virus in his body is almost cured."

Ye Mingluo nodded, and he said, "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely take care of Master."

But Huo Wen'an remained silent.

He didn't want to leave at all.

Xu Xingguang knew what Huo Wen'an was thinking, and she said, "Go to my room and talk for a while?"

Ye Mingluo almost squirted out the food in his mouth.

Lonely men and widows, what can't you say anywhere else, you have to go to the room?

Huo Wenan hesitated before getting up and following Xu Xingguang upstairs.

He was physically weak, and he had to slow down for a while when he took two steps, and Xu Xingguang was willing to wait for him.

Walking to Xu Xingguang's room, Huo Wenan was a little out of breath.

He sat down on the edge of Xu Xingguang's bed, sniffing the fragrance of the soothing wood in Xu Xingguang's room, and his mood suddenly became much calmer.

Xu Xingguang closed the door, then walked in front of Huo Wen'an in a few steps, and stretched out his hand to take off his clothes!

Huo Wen'an was taken aback.

He asked Xu Xingguang with an unnatural expression, "Do you want to do it now?" Is the door locked?"

Thinking that his broken body couldn't use force at all, Huo Wen'an's expression was a little embarrassed and painful. He looked down at the ground and said unwillingly, "My body has not recovered well, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to make big movements."

Xu Xingguang stopped undressing and looked at him playfully. She said, "You don't have to move, I'll do it."

Huo Wen'an: "..."

He was more embarrassed and more ashamed.

Xu Xingguang took off his robe, but did not make any other moves.

Huo Wen'an waited and found that Xu Xingguang had no further plans, so he looked up at Xu Xingguang.

Seeing the playful smile on Xu Xingguang's lips, Huo Wen'an realized that he was given by Xu Xingguang

Played it.

"Are you kidding me?" Huo Wen'an was a little annoyed.

Xu Xingguang took off his shoes and sat down behind Huo Wen'an.

She stroked the white skin behind Huo Wen'an, but strangely, the touch was not as smooth and delicate as it looked.

On the contrary, it has a weird feeling.

Xu Xingguang, who is good at disguise techniques, instantly knew why.

Because Huo Wen'an had a skin mask on his back.

Huo Wen'an was a little nervous, and he wrote Xu Xingguang: "You are still a back controller?"

Xu Xingguang didn't make a sound.

Huo Wen'an noticed that Xu Xingguang's fingers had slipped above his waist, he grabbed Xu Xingguang's hand with his backhand, and asked in a dumb voice, "What do you want to do?"

Xu Xingguang pressed Huo Wen'an's waist socket with his fingertips, and she said, "When you had a high fever and were confused, you talked a lot of nonsense. There's one thing I need to forge."

Huo Wen'an was a little uneasy, and he asked, "What did I say?"

It burned so hard in those days that Huo Wen'an even forgot what he had done with Xu Xingguang, and he didn't remember what else he said.

Xu Xingguang did not explain.

Her fingers rubbed along Huo Wen'an's lower back, and she finally found the place where the fake skin fit Huo Wen'an's own skin.

The fingertips rubbed on that piece of skin, and Huo Wen'an's smooth waist really curled up a thin piece of skin!

After Huo Wen'an realized what Xu Xingguang was going to do, he suddenly felt a panic in his heart.

Huo Wen'an subconsciously increased the strength of his fingers, pressed Xu Xingguang's wrist, and prevented her from moving.

"Starlight, don't look at it." Huo Wenan was begging Xu Xingguang.

Xu Xingguang was also stubborn, "Huo Wen'an, let me see."

Huo Wen'an hesitated for a moment, and finally let go of Xu Xingguang's hand.

Xu Xingguang pinched the upturned skin and gently tore it on Huo Wen'an's shoulder. A moment later, Xu Xingguang tore a complete mask from Huo Wen'an's back.

Without the disguise of fake skin, the true appearance of Huo Wen'an's back was completely exposed to Xu Xingguang's sight.

On his back, there was hardly a single intact piece of skin.

Everywhere you look, there are scars.

In the middle of the staggered scars, someone also used the sharp tip of a knife to carve an ugly word one by one-

Slave.

Xu Xingguang stared at Huo Wen'an's back, and a dark red bloodshot appeared in those peach blossom eyes.

Xu Xingguang stroked the words and scars on Huo Wen'an's back and asked him, "Who did this?"

Huo Wen'an's whole person became treacherous, he sat quietly on the edge of the bed, but he didn't say a word.

Xu Xingguang was so distressed that his fingertips kept trembling. "Huo Wen'an, you have to tell me about the humiliation and hurt you have suffered. Otherwise, how can I go with you to collect debts!"

Hearing this, Huo Wen'an's aura became much calmer.

"Did the Huo family do it?" Xu Xingguang asked through gritted teeth.

"It wasn't the Huo family who did it." Huo Wenan told Xu Xingguang: "I was sentenced to prison for murder, but the last place I went to was not the prison where the court sentenced me to serve my sentence, but another place."

He said lightly, "It's a terrible place, worse than the underground Colosseum you've been to. I carry these things on my back, and that's what I left in there."

Xu Xingguang could probably guess what kind of place it was, "There, do you also treat people like animals?"

"Brute?" Huo Wen'an shook his head, "No, there, we are not humans, nor are we animals, they gave me a very novel name, called Battle Doll."

Doll.

It's a toy, not even a beast.

"Huo Wen'an." Xu Xingguang asked him, "Do you know where that place is?"

Huo Wenan shook his head again.

"I don't know, I've been looking into its whereabouts all these years. But it's strange that the people I sent out searched all over the world, and they didn't find any

I found that place."

He frowned and said, "It's like a place that appears out of thin air and disappears out of thin air. If I hadn't spent three years there, I would have suspected it was a dream."

But the terrifying scar on his back and the distorted word "slave" remind Huo Wenan at all times that his experience is real.

In this world, there is really such a terrifying place.

What kind of place can Huo Wenan not find out? Xu Xingguang asked him, "Is that place also hidden underground?"

Huo Wenan shook his head again, "It's different."

He closed his eyes and muttered, "It's a closed jungle, and at the end of the jungle are peaks that hide like knives into the clouds. The mountain besieges us, and it's a captive farm."

"We tried to escape, but we didn't succeed. The mountains there are so smooth that they are mirror-like, and you can't climb them at all."

It's a captive farm.

"I've never heard of a place like this." But it's strange, how can you not find that place when it exists?

"And how did you get out?" Since he couldn't escape, how did Huo Wenan come out?

Huo Wen'an picked up the long shirt next to him and put it on, and said as he put it on, "In the third year I lived there, a group of people suddenly appeared and took me out of the captive farm. Then I saw the old man, and he took me away."

Huo Wen'an's words were very ambiguous.

Xu Xingguang asked him, "Did the old man take you away?" Or did you save it?" That's a completely different meaning.

"Save" away, which shows that the old man also paid the price and energy, so he is kind to Huo Wen'an.

But "take" away means that the old man is in the same camp as those who kept them in captivity.

Huo Wen'an raised his hand and touched Xu Xingguang's head with satisfaction, and he said dotingly, "My starlight is so smart."

Hearing this, Xu Xingguang understood what Huo Wen'an meant.

The old man was the one who took him out of the captivity.

"In this way, the old man should know where the captive farm is, and also know who the owner behind the captive farm is." Xu Xingguang looked at Huo Wen'an thoughtfully, and then asked, "He won't tell you?"

Nodding, Huo Wen'an said, "He said, when I become the most popular helm of Shenyin Island, when he is about to die, he will naturally tell me clues about that place."

"I see. So between you and the old man, it's just a relationship of mutual shackling and cooperation. You're not even family." Xu Xingguang felt sarcastic.

Huo Wenan is such a good child, in the end, no family member really loves him.

Xu Xingguang felt even more sorry for Huo Wen'an.

There was a whistle downstairs, it was Cheng Yue and they came.

Huo Wen'an heard the sound of the car, and he said, "It looks like I should go."

After saying everything, Huo Wenan also understood the reason why Xu Xingguang wanted to send her away.

But he was really reluctant to Xu Xingguang. "I've just been out of danger, and the ring you gave me, and I haven't worn it yet, so you're in a hurry to send me to Shenyin Island."

After saying that, Huo Wenan suddenly raised his finger and pinched Xu Xingguang's chin.

He approached Xu Xingguang and met the tip of her nose, like a lover whispering, "Xu Xingguang, you have to remember to miss me."

Xu Xingguang raised his chin slightly and kissed Huo Wen'an's cold crimson lips.

Huo Wen'an subconsciously opened his lips and allowed Starlight to enter his city.

After finishing a lingering and hot kiss, Xu Xingguang let go of Huo Wen'an.

She wiped the lipstick marks that she had imprinted on the corners of Huo Wen'an's lips with her fingertips, and said to him, "You are sitting shakily in this position at the helm now. You go back to Shenyin Island first to stabilize your rights, and when I settle the matter of Xizhou, I will go to Shenyin Island to find you."

"At that point, I wish I could see a hidden island that is absolutely subordinate to you."

The most important thing is that Huo Wenan must sit firmly at the helm.

Absolutely approved by the old man. in order to get the answer he wants, in order to avenge the humiliation of those three years.

"The Buddha said that if you put down the butcher's knife, you can become a Buddha on the spot. But I'm not a Buddha, and I won't advise you to put a butcher's knife." Xu Xingguang embedded his five fingers into Huo Wen'an's fingertips, interlocking with his ten fingers.

She raised the ten fingers that the two of them interlocked, and her eyes became solemn and cold, "Huo Wen'an, if you live, you have to repay kindness and revenge, I hope you can lift the butcher's knife and slay the dragon and kill the demon!"

The old man always advised him to forget the past and look forward. In the past, Huo Wen'an would fall into self-confusion for these things, and he was confused about whether it was right or wrong for him to insist on finding a truth and taking revenge.

But Xu Xingguang's sentence "Lift the butcher's knife, slay the dragon and slay the demon" suddenly made Huo Wen'an pause.

There is revenge, there is revenge, there is revenge, where is there any right or wrong.

"You're right, I have to lift the butcher's knife and slay the dragon and slay the demon."

Seeing that Huo Wenan listened to his words, Xu Xingguang also felt relieved.

Letting go of Huo Wen'an's hand, Xu Xingguang lifted his loose robe, and then lowered his head gently.

Outside the window, the sun is scorching and the cicadas are chirping.

Xu Xingguang kissed his soft lips on Huo Wen'an's hideous scar.

Huo Wen'an subconsciously straightened his back, unable to control his feelings, "Starlight..."

If he was healthy, he wanted to rub Xu Xingguang into his body immediately, and hurt her well.

Xu Xingguang hugged Huo Wen'an from behind, she rested her chin on Huo Wen'an's shoulder, and exhaled into Huo Wen'an's ear with her hot lips.

Huo Wen'an heard Xu Xingguang saying, "Washing shame with blood and turning the scars of shame into a medal of honor is not in vain. Brother Drunk, let go and do what you think you should do, don't hesitate."

Huo Wen'an closed his eyes and leaned into Xu Xingguang's arms, and he said, "Okay."

Downstairs, Cheng Yue was asking Ye Mingluo about Huo Wen'an's whereabouts.

Huo Wen'an heard it and realized that it was really time for him to set off for Shenyin Island.

He tilted his head and bit Xu Xingguang's ear, and said solemnly, "We are an unmarried couple, and your business is my business. If you need help, don't forget to come to me. Do you understand?"

"Absolutely."

Thinking of something, Xu Xingguang suddenly asked Huo Wen'an, "Do you still have brothers and sisters scattered outside?"

Huo Wen'an let go of her, with a puzzled look in his eyes. "The Huo family?"

"Hmm."

"Nope." Xu Xingguang wouldn't ask such a strange question for no reason, Huo Wen'an asked thoughtfully, "Have you met someone who looks similar to me?"

Xu Xingguang's mind came to mind the appearance of the young man he met in the underground Colosseum.

"Did you watch the battle in the Colosseum that night?"

Huo Wenan told the truth: "After you stepped down, I turned off the live broadcast."

"Then you shouldn't have seen the young man." Xu Xingguang told Huo Wen'an: "I saw a young man who looked very similar to you in the underground Colosseum, not that you look alike, but he gave me the feeling that he was very similar to you."

"And he's amnesiac and controlled by the Colosseum. You really don't have any brothers and sisters scattered out there?"

Huo Wen'an thought for a while before saying, "It's true that there are no brothers and sisters, but many years ago, there was a horrific kidnapping case in the Huo family. One of the children who was tied up was dropped into the Huo family by my mother."

is Huo Xin's real younger brother.

"There is another one, the old man's favorite youngest son."

"But those two children were torn up by the kidnappers." Huo Wen'an hooked his lips mockingly, and said with emotion: "After the death of that adopted son, my parents gave birth to my current brother."

"If that little uncle is still alive, and the Huo family is at the helm, it won't be my turn at all."

After listening to so much, Xu Xingguang summed up the key points in one sentence. "It sounds like the Huo family's situation is somewhat similar to the Xiahou family. If the little uncle in your mouth is alive, his status in the Huo family will be similar to that of Xiahou Huaigui in Xiahou's family."

"How can the Huo family compare with the Xiahou family?" Huo Wen'an shook his head and said sarcastically, "The old master of Xiahou has a deep affection for his wife, but my grandfather is a notoriously amorous person."

Xu Xingguang did not comment on Old Man Huo's affair.

"In that case, it should just be me worrying too much." Maybe that young man just happened to have a pair of god-like eyes with Huo Wen'an.
