Huo Yunqi suddenly heard such bad news. It was normal that he couldn't walk out. There was nothing Lu Hanjiang could do, so he could only comfort him with kind words.
"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry. Although it's not a big deal for that old thief Qianmian to do such evil things, you don't have to worry too much. Anyway, not many of the Huo family left Zhujian Villa alive. This is the second time. , you should get used to it." That's what he said.
Lu Hanjiang's words made Huo Yunqi dumbfounded. The way the other party shook his head with his fan made him look like a dog-headed military advisor. He said in a serious tone: "Actually, Mr. Huo, you are a direct descendant of the Huo family. It is your responsibility to rejuvenate the family." It doesn’t matter how many outsiders die in your case.”
Indeed, if we insist on the theory of blood, then Huo Yunqi is really the key to the revival of the Huo family. But the problem is that in the general concept of the Huo family, blood has never been put in the first place.
Even in the heyday of Zhujian Villa, Huo Yunqi might not be able to buy it, let alone now. In today's Huo family, there are actually very few people with the real surname Huo who are related to him by blood, but this does not mean that this group of people As for being valued by him, the truth is exactly the opposite.
After experiencing the drastic changes in Zhujian Villa, the group of people who were still willing to leave with Huo Yunqi were the group that he really valued.
They came together to be righteous by faith. Although they were not in the arena, they supported each other according to the rules of the arena. Huo Yunqi, who had been reduced to this situation, had nothing to promise these people except a sincerity. .
But at this moment, he couldn't even get angry at Lu Hanjiang. With the destruction of the Huo family, everything he had worked for for half his life had completely ended with the demise of this family. He even didn't know what to do next.
Huo Yunqi was confused and sent away from the Jinyi Guard station like a walking corpse. At the gate of the guard house, he even saw the person who came to greet him, Xu He from the Yamen.
Lu Hanjiang was not just lying when he said that the case had been found out. The Yamen indeed posted a notice today, pointing out who the real culprit was in the case of the three families, and clearing the Huo family and Huo Yunqi's names.
Kuai Baihu, who was in charge of this matter, felt that this was not enough. Perhaps out of the desire to apologize, he planned to make it more lively on the day Huo Yunqi was released from prison. Unfortunately, the Huo family was all dead, so he had to go. Someone summoned a group of common people to congratulate Huo Yunqi.
The people outside the guardhouse each took a sum of money and were called over to join in the fun. Not knowing why, they just thought it was a festival, with loud gongs and drums and endless congratulations, as happy as the New Year.
The innocent smiling faces that came to him made Huo Yunqi feel as if he was in a dream. Only Xu He's bitter and resentful face reminded him all the time that all of this was real.
Huo Yunqi's blocked acupuncture points had been unlocked long before he left. The prison life that he survived the catastrophe not only did not damage his foundation, but actually made his martial arts further.
Now that his internal strength has been restored, it seems that he is worse than when he was allowed to be a mermaid in that prison. Huo Yunqi's face was pale and bloodless, and his shaky figure seemed to be paralyzed to the ground in the next second.
Xu He couldn't bear to catch Huo Yunqi. When he first met Huo Yunqi, although he was trapped in the shallows and in a difficult situation, the young man's spirit remained unabated and his bright eyes were always looking forward.
But now Huo Yunqi felt as if his soul had been taken away, all his energy and spirit had disappeared, and the light in his eyes had also disappeared.
Xu He had a dark face. He drove away the people and brought the dull Huo Yunqi back to the Huo family.
Today, the Huo family is deserted and lifeless. The courtyard in front of the main hall is filled with dead Jianghu guests and members of the Huo family. Looking around, it is all white and white, which makes people sigh speechlessly.
Captain Xu He patted Huo Yunqi's shoulder and said in a low voice: "The thief acted too fast. When I heard the news, the Huo family was already... Sigh."
With a sigh, Xu Hetou continued: "There is nothing I can do. Before you came out, I had people carry your family out and tidy them up. I tried my best."
Xu He felt a little guilty about Huo Yunqi. The other party believed him and came to the Yamen, but he was detained on the spot by the Jin Yiwei.
Although as a small catcher, Xu He could not influence the decisions of adults like Jin Yiwei, but this matter ultimately made him break his trust with Huo Yunqi, and he felt very guilty.
Huo Yunqi looked at the corpses on the ground, his lips slightly opened, but he didn't say anything. Xu Hedu was not related to him, so to this extent, he should be grateful.
But for some reason, Huo Yunqi not only didn't feel grateful to the other party, he even felt some senseless hatred in his heart.
But what he hates is not that the other party fails to keep his promise, but that if the other party does not show up, he can delay and hesitate in the Huo family for a few days. Maybe when the Thousand-Faced Dharma King attacks, he can be with this person. The group of people died here together.
The moment this ridiculous idea came to mind, the past reappeared in Huo Yunqi's mind again.
It was the same scene again, Wangjian Tower was ignited by fire, Sword Forging Villa turned into a Shura field, Huo Yunqi seemed like an outsider, when he returned there, everything had changed, only a group of eyes full of hatred stared at him. Looking at him who doesn't know anything.
At this moment, he came out of Jin Yiwei's cell in a daze and looked at the scene in front of him. Everything was so familiar. He seemed to be the one left.
When Huo Yunqi woke up from his memories, it was already dark. He finally stopped sitting in a daze, but got up and started preparing for the funeral.
The next day, Bai Hao was set up in front of the Huo family again. Regardless of whether they were members of the Huo family or not, Huo Yunqi buried them together. In the future, they will pay tribute to each other during the Cold Food Festival during the Qingming Festival, which will also settle the last bit of the world. righteous.
Because there was no other living person except him from top to bottom in the Huo family, he had to find someone to help bury all the corpses. Xu He helped a lot. Huo Yunqi solemnly thanked him. Passed each other.
Huo Yunqi spent money to buy a hillside outside the city and buried all the people here. On the second day after the burial, while he was keeping vigil, Lu Hanjiang came.
The tombs on the slope are like wheat seedlings, but there is only one person watching over the grave: Huo Yunqi. His thin figure looks like an abandoned guy, which makes people pitiful.
After lighting three sticks of incense, Huo Yunqi finished what he was doing, and then turned to look at Lu Hanjiang behind him, with a faint fake smile hanging on his lips.
"Master Yue, is this situation the same as that in Liujia Village back then?" Huo Yunqi asked. He seemed to be expecting something, but it was a pity.
"Well, Mr. Huo seems to have misunderstood."
Lu Hanjiang scratched his chin and said with some embarrassment: "I am not from Liujia Village, and I have nothing to do with them. When I asked about it yesterday, I just mentioned it casually."
