Huo Xiaofan ran into Xiangnan City non-stop, everything here is the same, but it feels that the city is not as prosperous as before. He didn't go directly to Fengyun Castle, but first found a small shop to settle in. Although the small shop is not big, the business is good, and the cooking is okay, and the hungry Huo Xiaofan gobbled up the food there. At this time, it was the time when the customer came to the door, but there was a begging door, and the strange thing was that the shopkeeper did not drive her away immediately, but just looked around and secretly stuffed her with a few steamed buns like a thief, so she let her leave quickly. Huo Xiaofan saw that the begging grandmother became more and more familiar, and then the shopkeeper came over and whispered to the shopkeeper: "Don't make trouble, if you let those people see that you dare to give food to the people of Fengyun Castle before, we won't ask for this shop, I'm afraid you and I will have to ask for food." The shopkeeper sighed and could only nod yes.

As if confirming something, Huo Xiaofan threw down a piece of broken silver and ran out, he shouted tentatively at the begging old man, "Is Granny Tang you?"

The old man was shocked, and slowly turned back to see who else could he be if it wasn't the capable and kind-hearted Granny Tang back then. I saw that she looked at Huo Xiaofan with some confusion and said, "You... You are small. Xiao Fan?"

Huo Xiaofan stepped up and grabbed her dirty and rough hand, looking at her skinny appearance, how could there be a little shadow of the past, if it wasn't for the shopkeeper muttering, he couldn't believe it at all. Huo Xiaofan said with tears in his eyes: "Mother-in-law. How could this be, how did it get like this. ”

Granny Tang was happy and sad, and her two cloudy eyes also left tears: "Xiaofan is really you, you have grown so big, and my mother-in-law thought that she would never see you again in this life." She looked around again for fear of someone, so she pulled Huo Xiaofan to the corner and asked, "Child, where did you come from? As he spoke, he burst into tears.

Huo Xiaofan was very sad in his heart, and he kept holding the old man in his hand and said, "Mother-in-law, I came from Tianqi Mountain to inquire about the whereabouts of my second uncle, I don't know if he has ever been back." “

Granny Tang said uncomfortably: "No, no one came back after you left, alas. ”

Huo Xiaofan asked again: "Then why did you become like this, did the Xu family drive you out." ”

Granny Tang shook her head and said, "This is not the place to talk, you come with me." After speaking, he pulled Huo Xiaofan to the depths of the alley, and after taking a few steps, Huo Xiaofan found that she was limping and could only stagger when she walked. Granny Tang walked hard and pulled Huo Xiaofan to a courtyard, which was overgrown with grass and dilapidated houses all around, and it could be seen that it had been abandoned for a long time.

At this time, a woman who came out of the broken house was not too young, and she was very surprised to see Granny Tang bring someone back, so she asked, "Mother-in-law, is this?"

Granny Tang said: "Don't ask yet, let's go into the house and say. ”

The lady hurriedly said, "Okay, come in and sit, come in and sit. ”

Huo Xiaofan entered this dark room and took a look, how could there be a place to sit, there was not even a furniture bed in the house, and several people were lying on the wheat straw, all of them were lifeless. Granny Tang asked, "Has the bearded head come back?" and the lady said that it was not yet, it should be soon, and it should be back after dark.

Huo Xiaofan saw the miserable appearance of these people in front of him, so he hurriedly asked again: "What happened to my mother-in-law. ”

Granny Tang leaned on a stack of torn quilts before saying, "Alas, the Xu family has exhausted their wealth, and now it is all suffering." For more than a year after you left, our lord of Xu Fort said that he was in retreat but never came out, at first the people in the fort became suspicious, and many people couldn't stay and left, and then the enemy came. Immediately after a scuffle, the lord of Xu Bao was not in our Xu family, and the young lady did not use martial arts, and was quickly defeated, but I didn't expect those people to be unforgiving, and they slaughtered all the people who knew martial arts in the Xu family and all the male family members overnight, and those younger maids were either ruined by them and sold to a brothel, or they continued to stay in the castle to serve them to eat and drink, and it was better to live than to die, and we were driven out of the old, weak, sick and disabled, and we didn't even give us luggage and clothes. After speaking, he burst into tears again, Huo Xiaofan almost exploded his lungs when he heard it, since ancient times, the two countries have been at war without killing prisoners, how could anyone attack these ordinary servants, and he remembered what and asked: "What about Mrs. Xu.. Where did she go?

Granny Tang shook her head and said, "Pity our young lady, she has a strong personality, and she can't bear to be humiliated by them, so she killed herself... It is also a sin to die or to live. ”

Huo Xiaofan sighed, he really didn't expect that the smart, beautiful, and empathetic Mrs. Xu would be damaged, and she was speechless for a while, and she was regretful, angry, and sad in her heart.

Then the woman said, "The beard is back. ”

Huo Xiaofan saw that the beard was no longer the majestic he used to be, his face was red before, but now he has become yellow and thin, and his back is hunched a lot. The bearded man was also sad when he saw Huo Xiaofan grow so big. Granny Tang said: "When the enemy came to attack that day, he happened to be out drinking and drunk and did not come back, so he escaped, and he himself refused to slip away, so he took us here to survive. ”

The bearded man said ashamedly: "Alas, it's a pity that I am incompetent, I can only do some hard work, and I can't feed everyone, I have to wait for the castle lord to come back to avenge the young lady and everyone." ”

Huo Xiaofan gritted his teeth and his handsome face was extremely hideous, and he said: "You don't have to wait for the castle master to come back, I'll go and kill them all now, do you know who the enemy is?"

Granny Tang hurriedly said: "Xiaofan can't be reckless, two fists are hard to beat four hands, how can you be their opponent if you are still a child." ”

The bearded head also said: "Young Master Xiaofan, those people should all say that they are from the Demon Sect, although they came to attack me together and later inquired about them as two gangs, one is the Dark Night Gang, the other is the Zombie Gate, they are all members of the Demon Sect, they are so vicious that even the people of the government dare to make a mistake, for fear of being assassinated. ”

Huo Xiaofan paced back and forth a few steps, and then asked, "Uncle Beard, do you have any relatives near Xiangnan City who can take you in." ”

The bearded man said: "Yes, there are only so many people, I can't pass, and it's not easy to live after I go, so I can still carry a big bag or something in this Shonan City." ”

Huo Xiaofan groped around his body, took out two silver tickets of five hundred taels and gave them to the bearded man and said: "Uncle Beard, you should immediately hire a few big cars, leave Xiangnan City overnight, and go to your relatives, this money should be enough to buy some fields to feed everyone." “

The bearded man and Granny Tang looked at each other and said in disbelief: "How can you have so much money. If you want, what about you?"

Huo Xiaofan comforted: "Leave me alone, don't worry, after you leave, I can fight with them, if I can't beat me, I'll run away, I'm very good, and when I find my second master or your Xu Bao master, I will come back to take revenge." Uncle Beard, without further ado, hurry up.

The bearded man, despite the fatigue of the day, hurried out to open a Roman carriage, he was also very quick in doing things, when it was just dark, he led the convoy back and bought a lot of supplies for the road, and the two of them carried the old and sick in the dilapidated house into the carriage and walked towards the city gate.

The bearded man bribed the soldiers guarding the city with some silver taels in front of him to open the city gate, and as soon as he walked out, he heard the sound of clothes breaking overhead, and two men in black flew down from the city wall to block the carriage's way. One of them, who knew the bearded man, listened to him, "Bearded, where are you going so late?"

The bearded man was frightened and said: "We can't survive in the car, I will take everyone to my hometown to eat, please raise your noble hand and let us go." ”

One of them said: "Let you go, the boxes of your Xu family's belongings haven't been found yet, why did you let them go." ”

Then a man came out beside the carriage, and said in a cold voice, "Let them go, where I tell you the treasure?" As soon as he approached, the two of them felt a lot of murderous aura on him, but after all, the other party was a teenager, and they didn't care, so they dodged and let the carriage pass first to concentrate on dealing with the enemy. Huo Xiaofan waited for the carriage to walk out a few hundred meters, and without saying a word, he took out his sword and slashed at a person, but before the person could react, he was split in half by Huo Xiaofan's sword, and his five organs and six lungs fell to the ground, and the blood stabbed a person next to him in the face. The living person was immediately stunned, and he didn't even have the courage to draw his sword, although he was born in the Demon Sect, but such a fast and strong sword qi was something that their helmsman had never had.

Huo Xiaofan asked coldly, "Do you want to die or live?" The demon sect minion said with a pale face: "Want to think about life...

Huo Xiaofan then asked, "How many people in Fengyun Castle are from that sect now, and who is leading the team?"

The little minion said tremblingly: "Hui Yu Shaoxia, there are two groups of people now, one is led by the Thunder Evil Lord of the Night Gang, and the other is led by the Iron Corpse Helmsman of our Zombie Gate, there are about thirty people respectively, each living in the East and West Courtyards, and the others have returned to the helm. Shaoxia, I'm just a little minion, you let me go. '

Huo Xiaofan said: "Okay, you can go, don't do anything hurtful in the future." ”

A hint of treachery flashed in the minion's eyes, and there was still a little sneer on his face, and he turned his head and wanted to run, but at this time, Huo Xiaofan's flying knife was already stuck in his neck, and he fell to the ground like a wild bird that was beaten down by Huo Xiaofan with a stone back then.
