Chapter 69 Homecoming

To eliminate the corpse crows, Huo Xuan drove the red clams and galloped all the way. He stopped until dawn appeared in the sky. At this time, he had already arrived at a wilderness thirty miles north of Lijiang City.

Huo Xuan looked at the direction of Lijiang City from afar, his face was full of excitement. More than three years have passed, and finally, he returned to his hometown where he gave birth to himself.

After a long time, he calmed down his excitement, put Zhuqi into the storage belt, leaned himself on a slope, preparing to have a little rest. After dawn, he continued to rush to Lijiang City.

Relying on the slope, his head resting on his arm, and his grass roots were in his mouth, Huo Xuan looked up at the sky and could not fall asleep. Although dawn was about to come, the moon was still full of like a plate and starry sky. He looked at the full moon as round as a silver plate, which seemed to appear familiar faces, all of which were relatives and friends who had not seen for a long time, including "that person"...

After rubbing his eyes, Huo Xuan removed his distracting thoughts. He looked at the sky again. The bright moonlight flashed in front of his eyes, turning into a girl who was as angry as he was happy.

"Wan'er, wait for me..."

Huo Xuan chuckled. This time when he came home, in addition to shouldering the heavy responsibility of his family, he also had the most important thing for him, which was to get the understanding of his lover and regain his previous relationship.

In the past three years, in addition to practicing medicine and martial arts, he thought the most about his sweetheart, Liu Wan'er, who grew up with his childhood sweetheart. In addition, he was the arrogant boy.

"After more than three years, Wan'er must have been more beautiful... As for A Tie, this kid is probably a thick man like a stone lump, haha..."

A gentle laughter sounded in the wilderness, containing a lot of joy and hope.

The next morning, Huo Xuan got up at dawn and strides towards Lijiang City. After half an hour, he walked out of the wilderness and came to the official road, and walked all the way.

At this moment, the number of pedestrians on the official road gradually increased. Among them were the people from nearby villages and towns, carrying fresh fruits and vegetables that had just been picked from the field and went to the city to sell. There were also vendors driving mules and horses, loading up with various goods into the city. Huo Xuan was mixed with the crowd. Although he was wearing thick clothes and linen, his slender figure and angular face looked handsome and outstanding among the crowd.

When he was anxious to return home, he accelerated his pace and walked forward. He had arrived in just two hours. When he arrived at the gate of the city, he looked at the tall and familiar city walls and the bustling crowds around him. His heart seemed to tremble at this moment, and his face couldn't help but feel excited.

"I'm back...I, Huo Xuan, finally back..."

Taking a deep breath, Huo Xuan walked towards the city gate.

Entering the city, the spacious streets, the shops on both sides, the shouts and shouts of businessmen... Everything made Huo Xuan feel extremely familiar. This is his hometown and the homeland that raised him. Even if he is separated for ten or a hundred years, or even for a lifetime, he will never forget it.

"Go home, I want to go home..."

Huo Xuan watched familiar faces swaying before his eyes. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, which was to go home!

After walking along the street and turning a few turns, he came to the Huo family's ancestral home, the former city lord's mansion. Looking at him, his home seemed particularly deserted on this noisy and bustling street. The door was open, but no one was guarding the side, and only a few children were playing on the ground next to him. On the cross beam of the door, the plaque of the "City Lord's Mansion" given by the county government in the past was gone, with only the two words "Huo Mansion". Whether it was the mottled walls, the plaque of painted plaques, or the grounds at the door, it showed that the oldest family in the Li River in the past, like an old man at dusk, was gradually declining.

This scene made Huo Xuan feel his chest blocked. His nose bridge was a little sore, and his heart was even more bitter and sad. When he was young, when his family changed, he hated the Huo family and everyone here. He always fantasized about the one day that the Huo family would fall, not for others, but only seek justice for his mother. However, he did not expect that he would feel so uncomfortable when he saw the decline of the Huo family with his own eyes, as if he had cut it.

Taking a deep breath, he calmed down and strode over.

When he arrived at the gate of Huo Mansion, Huo Xuan was about to walk in, but at this moment, a young child voice sounded beside him.

"Who are you? What's the matter when you come to my Huo Mansion?"

A child who had been playing next to him had a stand up and ran to Huo Xuan, blocking his way, and asked loudly.

The child looked seven or eight years old, with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but his body was dirty and his face was covered with dust. Huo Xuan looked at him at a glance, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

He looked at the child carefully, and after a long time, he said, "You are Huo Ting!"

The child was originally a little nervous when he was staring at him, and his big black eyes showed a bit of fear. At this moment, when he heard Huo Xuan's words, he immediately looked at Huo Xuan and asked, "Who are you?"

He is really Huo Ting...my younger brother...

Huo Xuan looked at Huo Ting with an extremely complicated expression on his face. Because of his mother's affairs, he hated "that person" very much, and the woman he called "Er Niang". He had never given a good face to this half-brother in front of him. Even when the other party was young, he would scold him and never admit that the other party was his younger brother!

"Oh..." A long sighed in his heart. Perhaps it was because of his experience of leaving home in recent years, or perhaps it was because he had grown up and became sensible. He found that he had done something wrong before. No matter how hateful the man and his wife were, what did it have to do with children? He, after all, was like himself, with the blood of the Huo family flowing in his body... he was his own brother.

Thinking of this, Huo Xuan felt a wholehearted mood, looked at Huo Ting with confusion, a smile squeezed out on his face, and said softly: "I am your eldest brother, Huo Xuan!"

As soon as he said this, Huo Ting seemed to have seen a ghost, his face full of fear, and he ran to the mansion without saying a word. His actions made Huo Xuan stand in place, very embarrassed.

"I...is it so scary?"

The remaining children also ran in with Huo Ting behind his butt. While they ran, they were still yelling. Huo Xuan stood outside the mansion, touched his nose, but his steps did not move. He believed that after such a fuss, someone would come out soon.

As expected, after a moment, a sound of footsteps came from the mansion. Four young women dressed as women walked out of the Huo Mansion. Behind them, Huo Ting and a few children were also following.

When a pretty woman in a plain dress walked out of the door, she looked at Huo Xuan with a look of shock. After pausing for a few breaths, she exclaimed and said, "You, are you Junior Brother Huo?"

Huo Xuan smiled slightly and nodded, "Master's sister-in-law, second, third, fourth, sister-in-law, you have never seen each other for many years, you have always been happy!"

"It's really Junior Brother Huo!"

"I haven't seen each other for a few years, and I almost didn't recognize it!"

"Except for being taller, the skin is darker, the face has not changed, and it is still so handsome, hehe..."

The four young women immediately stepped forward, looked around Huo Xuan, chattering non-stop. These four were disciples of Huo Baishan, the wife of Senior Brother Huo Xuan. Huo Baishan was extremely harsh in accepting disciples, and there were only seven disciples under his sect. He treated each of his disciples like a parent-child, and he handled his disciples with his wife by himself.

The four of them in front of them were all wives whom Huo Boshan gave him a betrothal gift and asked his apprentice to marry into the family. They were all part of the Huo family. These four sisters-in-law came in. Huo Xuan was still young at that time, and the four sisters-in-law were very good to him. Now they met, they were all happy and from the bottom of their hearts.

Huo Xuan was surrounded by four women, and except for a little embarrassed, he was still quite moved. He smiled and joked to the master's sister-in-law Zhou Yun, "Master's sister-in-law, why don't you see the master's brother? He shouldn't go out to have fun early in the morning!"

As soon as this said, the four women's faces changed. Seeing this, Huo Xuan thought he had said the wrong thing and was about to apologize. However, he heard Zhou Yun's tone heavy and said slowly: "There is someone causing trouble in the clinic. Master's wife and second uncle took you and some senior brothers. A Tie and the others rushed over to deal with it early in the morning!"

"Making trouble!" Huo Xuan's face darkened.

"Junior Brother Huo, you have been away from home for more than three years, and a lot of things have happened here. I think you don't know yet... Especially the people from the Baji Sect are determined to occupy the only remaining industry in the Huo family. In recent days, they often send people to the clinic and pharmacies to make trouble... Hey, Junior Brother Huo, where are you going?"
