Eradicating the corpse crow, Huo Xuan drove Zhu Clam all the way to gallop, and only stopped until dawn loomed in the sky. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) By this time, he had come to a wilderness thirty miles north of Lijiang City.
Hometown timidity. Huo Xuan looked at the direction of Lijiang City, his face full of excitement. More than three years have passed, and finally, he has returned to his homeland.
After a long time, he calmed down the excitement in his heart, put the clams into the storage belt, leaned against a slope, prepared to rest for a while, and after dawn, he continued to rush to Lijiang City.
Leaning on the slope, his head resting on his arm, and the grass root in his mouth, Huo Xuan looked up at the sky, and couldn't fall asleep. Although the dawn is approaching, the moon is still full and starry on the sky. He looked at it stupidly, and on the full moon as round as a silver plate, there seemed to be familiar faces, all of whom were relatives and friends he hadn't seen for a long time, including 'that person'......
Rubbing his eyes, Huo Xuan dispelled the distracting thoughts, he looked at the sky again, the bright moonlight flickered in front of his eyes, turning into a girl's face that was pleasant and happy.
"Wan'er, wait for me ......"
A chuckle appeared at the corner of Huo Xuan's mouth. This time when he went home, in addition to shouldering the heavy responsibility of the family, there was also one of the most important things for him, which was to get the understanding of his sweetheart and renew the frontier.
In the past three years, in addition to refining medicine and practicing martial arts, what he thinks about the most in his heart is his sweetheart who grew up with his childhood sweetheart, Liu Wan'er. In addition, it is the reckless boy of Atina.
"More than three years have passed, and Wan'er must have become more beautiful...... As for Ah Tie, I'm afraid this kid has become a thick man like a stone pimple, haha......"
Gentle laughter sounded in the wilderness, containing a lot of joy and a lot of anticipation.
Early the next morning. Huo Xuantian got up as soon as it was dawn and strode towards Lijiang City. It took him half an hour to walk out of the wilderness, to the official road, and all the way forward.
At this moment, there are more and more pedestrians on the official road. Among them were people from nearby villages and towns, carrying fresh fruits and vegetables freshly picked from the fields and going to the city to sell. There were also traders in mule and horse carts, loaded with all kinds of goods into the city. Huo Xuan was mixed in the flow of people, although he was wearing coarse linen, but his slender body and angular face looked handsome and outstanding in the crowd.
In a hurry to return home, he quickened his pace and strode forward. The journey of thirty miles was only two hours. When he came to the city gate, looking at the tall and familiar city wall and the bustling crowd around him, his heart seemed to tremble at this moment, and his face couldn't help but show excitement.
"It's back... I, Huo Xuan, are finally back......"
Taking a deep breath, Huo Xuan strode towards the city gate.
When you enter the city, you will see the spacious streets, lined with shops, and the shouts of merchants...... One qiē and one qiē all made Huo Xuan feel extremely familiar. This is his homeland, the home that raised him, even if he is separated for ten years or a hundred years, or even a lifetime, he will never forget it.
"Go home, I'm going home......"
Huo Xuan watched the familiar faces flicker in front of his eyes, and he only had one thought in his mind at the moment, which was to go home!
Walking all the way down the street, after turning a few corners, he came to the Huo family's ancestral house, the former city lord's mansion. As far as the eye can see, on this noisy and bustling street, his home seems to be particularly deserted. The gate was open, but there was no one on either side, except for a few children playing on the ground next to it. On the lintel beam, the plaque of 'City Lord's Mansion' given by the former county government is gone, and there are only two words 'Huo Mansion'. Whether it is the mottled wall, or the plaque with the paint peeling, or the venue with a lot of birds at the door, it shows that the oldest family in the Li River in the past, like the old man at dusk, is gradually declining.
This situation made Huo Xuan feel panicked in his chest. The bridge of his nose was a little sore, and his heart was even more bitter and sad. When he was young, his family changed, and he hated the Huo family and everyone here. All the time, he fantasized that the Huo family would be defeated one day, not for anything else, but only for his mother to seek justice. However, he didn't expect that when he really saw the decline of the Huo family with his own eyes, his heart would be so uncomfortable, like a knife.
Taking a deep breath, he calmed down and strode over.
Coming to the gate of Huo Mansion, Huo Xuan was about to walk in, but at this moment, a childish child's voice sounded next to him.
"Who are you, what are you doing in my Huo Mansion?"
One of the children who was playing next to him got up and ran in front of Huo Xuan, blocked his way, and asked loudly.
The child looked to be seven or eight years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but his body was dirty, and his little face was covered with a lot of dust. Huo Xuan glanced at him, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.
He looked at the kid carefully, and only after a long time did he spit out: "You are Huo Ting!"
The child was originally a little flustered by him, and his big black eyes revealed a bit of fear, but when he heard Huo Xuan's words, he immediately looked at Huo Xuan, and asked rhetorically, "Who are you?"
He is really Huo Ting...... My little brother ......
Huo Xuan looked at Huo Ting, with an incomparably complicated expression on his face. Because of his mother's affairs, he hated 'that person' very much, and the woman he called 'Erniang'. He has never given a good face to his half-brother in front of him. Even when the other party was young, he scolded at every turn, and never recognized the other party as his younger brother!
"Alas......" sighed in his heart. Maybe it's the experience of being away from home in the past few years, or maybe it's because he's grown up and sensible. He realized that he had done something very wrong before, no matter how hateful the couple were, what did it have to do with the child? He, after all, was the same as himself, with the blood of the Huo family flowing in his body...... It's his own brother.
Thinking of this, Huo Xuan was in a good mood, looked at Huo Ting who was full of doubts, squeezed out a little smile on his face, and said softly: "I'm your eldest brother, Huo Xuan!"
As soon as these words came out, he saw that Huo Ting was like a ghost, his face was full of fear, he didn't say a word, and he ran towards the mansion with his butt dropped. His move made Huo Xuan stand in place, embarrassed.
"I ...... Is it so scary?"
The remaining children also ran in behind Huo Ting's buttocks. They ran and yelled. Huo Xuan stood outside the mansion, touched his nose, and did not move. He believed that after such a fuss, someone would soon come out.
Sure enough, a moment later, a sound of footsteps came from inside the house. Four women dressed as young women walked out of the Huo Mansion. Behind them, there were also Huo Ting's children.
The first woman with a pretty appearance and a long dress in plain clothes, after walking out of the door, looked at Huo Xuan with a stunned expression, and after pausing for a few breaths, she exclaimed and said, "You, are you Senior Brother Huo?"
Huo Xuan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Senior sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for many years, you have always been good!"
"It's really Senior Brother Huo!"
"I haven't seen you for a few years, I've grown so tall, I almost didn't recognize it!"
"Except that he is taller, his skin is darker, his face hasn't changed, he is still so handsome, hehe......"
The four young women immediately stepped forward and looked around Huo Xuan, chattering non-stop. These four are all disciples of Huo Baishan and the wives of Senior Brother Huo Xuan. Huo Baishan is extremely harsh in accepting disciples, and there are only seven disciples under his disciples. He treats each of his apprentices like a parent, and his apprentices marry wives single-handedly.
The four in front of him were all Huo Baishan's daughters-in-law who gave a dowry and let his apprentice marry into the door. They are all part of the Huo family. These four sisters-in-law entered the door before and after, Huo Xuan was still young at that time, and the four sisters-in-law were very good to him. Now when we meet, everyone is happy, from the heart.
Huo Xuan was surrounded by four women in the middle, except for being a little embarrassed, he was still quite moved in his heart. He smiled and teased to his sister-in-law Zhou Yun: "Sister-in-law, why don't you see your brother?
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four girls all changed. Seeing this, Huo Xuan thought that he had said the wrong thing and was about to apologize. But listening to Zhou Yun's heavy tone, he said slowly: "There is someone making trouble in the medical hall, and my wife and second uncle and ancestor will rush over to deal with it early in the morning with a few of your senior brothers and Ah Tie!"
"Make trouble!" Huo Xuan's face sank.
"Senior Brother Huo, you have been away from home for more than three years, and there are many things happening here, and you don't know about it...... In particular, the gang of Bajimen are plotting to occupy the Huo family's only remaining property, and in recent days, they often send people to the medical hall and pharmacy to make trouble...... Hey, Senior Brother Huo, where are you going?"
Zhou Yun was telling Huo Xuan about the difficulties that the family had encountered recently, when he suddenly felt that the figure in front of him flashed, and Huo Xuan was gone. When she looked over, she saw that Huo Xuan's figure had appeared at the end of the street and disappeared in a flash......
