After Hu Rui called his clan uncle, he felt something bad when he heard his clan uncle's nervous questions. But when he didn't get an answer, it was impossible to hang up the phone, so he could only wait with his head in his hand and the phone.
Time passed slowly, and he stood there with his cell phone, feeling a little stupid, and his body began to throb in pain, including his face and mouth, which were swollen, but he didn't complain about anything at the moment. His uncle's words made him feel bad, so he had to wait for now.
In fact, Hu Rui is a direct descendant of the Hu family and the son of the patriarch, so he is a close relative. Therefore, in the Hu family, he can be regarded as the kind of person who can take advantage of the wind and rain. There are not many people in the entire Hu family who are afraid of him, so he has lived smoothly for more than 20 years. Even today's clan uncle is usually polite to him and doesn't speak loudly.
Unexpectedly, on today's phone call, Uncle Clan's voice was so strange and tough, it was really a ghost.
Time passed bit by bit, and he heard on the phone that his uncle was walking quickly, passed a yard, and had a hurried conversation with some people. Everything about the Hu family was very familiar to him. In his mind, he thought about where his uncle had gone, who the voices were, and so on. While he was struggling with this, he heard his father's voice and some words between his uncle and his father.
"Okay, stop talking now, let me ask Rui'er!" Hu Yang, the patriarch of the Hu family and Hu Rui's father, directly raised his hand to stop Hu Hai, who is also Hu Rui's uncle. , took the phone directly and said to Hu Rui: "What happened? Can you briefly tell me what happened?"
Hu Rui's body couldn't stop trembling since he heard his father's voice. Naturally, I am scared when I think of my father's sternness. Even now, I am still afraid of my father.
In response to his father's question, he hurriedly explained the matter. Of course, it was relatively simple, but some conflicts were downplayed, and what he had done was slightly vague.
"I still have some questions that I need to ask you personally about what you said. How about this? You might as well leave immediately and go directly to the airport. I will arrange a special plane to take you back. When you come back, we will meet and talk in detail."
When Hu Yang heard what Hu Rui said, he was noncommittal. But when I remembered Hu Rui's consistent code of conduct, I knew that he was not telling the truth. It's better to meet and understand this matter clearly. Otherwise, if you don't understand something clearly, you won't know how to deal with it.
What Hu Rui could do was agree. He went out and drove his car directly to the airport. It took about more than an hour. After entering the airport, we waited for a while before boarding the special plane arranged by our family.
However, because Hu Rui's face was as swollen as a pig's head and his eye sockets were black and blue, everyone who saw him covered their mouths and laughed, which also made Hu Rui look very embarrassed. He has never been so embarrassed in his entire life. The features on his face are so obvious that it looks like he has been beaten by someone.
Fortunately, my face is also swollen, and the color is red. Even though I feel embarrassed, my face has not changed much. It has always been swollen and swollen.
When Hu Rui got off the plane, he found that the family's car was waiting for him on the airport tarmac.
"Brother Rui, get in the car. The patriarch is waiting for you at home." The driver was his cousin. When he saw him, he just smiled, opened the door for Hu Rui, and motioned for him to get in the car and leave.
"Why are you so anxious?" Hu Rui relaxed a little when he saw an acquaintance and asked naturally.
"I received an order to send you back home as soon as possible, because the clan leader is waiting at home. I don't know about the others. They didn't tell me why." The cousin said. He turned around, closed the car door, and drove out of the airport.
The Hu family still has a relatively high status in Southwest Province. So it's no problem to pull into the airport tarmac and pick someone up or whatever. But Hu Rui felt vaguely bad when he saw this posture.
The Hu family is in a village on the outskirts of the southwest provincial capital. After driving for about an hour, the car almost reached its destination and turned into the Hu family's land.
Almost half of the people are named Hu. After hundreds of years of development, the Hu family has spread out more and more, forming a residential village. The name of the village is also simple, just Hujiacun.
Hujiacun is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery and relatively good air. It faces south and faces north. The terrain has the momentum of a tiger perched on a dragon's plate, which is why the ancestors of the Hu family valued this land.
Hu Rui came back here again after a year, but he felt worried about gains and losses. He found that this time things seemed to have deviated from the scope of what he had imagined. Why?
Hu Yang is located in the center of Hujia Village, a very distinctive courtyard surrounded by green bamboos.
After Hu Rui got off the car and entered the courtyard, he saw his father Hu Yang in the main room of the courtyard.
"Dad, I'm back!" When Hu Rui saw him, he immediately stood up and greeted his father respectfully. Then he turned around and greeted his uncle again: "Uncle Hai!"
No matter how trendy you are outside, you still have to call me dad when you go home, because this title is the custom here. Hu Hai nodded to Hu Rui and saw the injury on Hu Rui's face, but said nothing.
"Yes!" Hu Yang nodded in response, but his expression was very serious, which was not his usual look, which also made Hu Rui feel upset.
After Hu Yang heard what Hu Hai said, he had been waiting for Hu Rui in the room. He sat there for several hours without moving much.
After hearing the general story Hu Rui said and the name mentioned by his brother, I felt a little bitter in my heart. This was a hornet's nest! Even if Hu Rui is usually quite mischievous, he still has a certain degree of vision. Why did he hit the iron plate this time?
Therefore, while waiting for Hu Yang, Hu Yang also took out his phone and called Hu Shi, but he did not expect the prompt to shut down the phone. Normally, because Hu Shi stopped practicing, he would go out to play and look for any opportunities.
When Hu Shi travels, he usually tells him to call him if anything happens. It’s the new century now, and mobile phones are so convenient, so it’s natural to carry one with you.
But this damn mobile phone was unable to contact Hu Shi at the critical moment. It really delayed things!
However, he did not expect that Hu Shi was now guarding Li Ling outside the courtyard where Li Ling was retreating. Although Li Ling has entered the half-step state of holding the elixir after the battle with Chen Mo, he needs to consolidate it, otherwise his hard-fought breakthrough may fade after the battle is over, and he will fall back to the peak state of the innate third level.
Therefore, after Li Ling returned to Lijia Villa, he began to retreat to consolidate his realm. This retreat lasted for several days. Of course, this time is different from his previous retreats. This time can be said to be when Li Ling is relatively weak, especially after the battle with Chen Mo, his internal organs were also damaged to a certain extent. In addition, I don't know if there will be any problems during the consolidation after taking the half-step to hold the elixir. It's like crossing the river by feeling the stones. Therefore, Li Ling needs someone to protect him and help him when needed.
Hu Shi happened to have nothing to do, but he was a good friend of Li Ling, so he stayed to protect Li Ling. During the moment of protecting the Dharma, it is natural to turn off the mobile phone. At this time, it is necessary to be quiet and not to be disturbed.
So Hu Yang was calling Hu Shi, but in the end he got the result that the phone was turned off.
I couldn't get through to Hu Shi, so I had to wait until later. Now that Hu Rui has arrived, let's ask clearly about the matter first.
"Tell me again about the conflict with Chen Mo, including the causes and consequences. What did Chen Mo say after he beat you?" Hu Yang asked Hu Rui.
When Hu Rui heard this, he thought that it was indeed because of Chen Mo. But when his father asked, he couldn't hide it and could only tell the matter again. Of course, because I felt that things might have changed, I downplayed the conflict with Chen Mo a little when retelling it.
Although his father said he couldn't hide anything, there was nothing wrong with weakening himself and emphasizing Chen Mo. Moreover, the key point was to talk about Chen Mo's revenge on himself and so on.
Hu Rui is still a bit quick-witted, so during the retelling process, his mouth was slightly crooked, but in fact there was no big deviation, it was all what actually happened. Fortunately, Hu Rui also knew the importance, so he just beautified himself a little, but did not distort the facts too much.
"So, you went to work in the West City because you fell in love with a girl?" Hu Yang asked after listening to Hu Rui's retelling.
"Yes!" Hu Rui nodded and replied.
"Who is this girl? What's her name? How far have you and her developed? When did you meet her and how long have you known her?" Hu Yang asked a series of questions.
Hu Rui could only answer one by one. However, he remembered all of Shen Tingting's memories relatively clearly, so he could tell. And because I wanted to pursue Shen Tingting, I spent some money to investigate Shen Tingting and got a relatively detailed information.
And when he came back, because he felt something was wrong when he called his family uncle, he also put Shen Tingting's information in his bag and took it back. Who knows if anyone will want to see it when I get home, so it’s good to be prepared. Anyway, the material is not very thick, and it is not very heavy when placed in a backpack.
"This is information about Shen Tingting. Because I like this girl very much, I arranged for people to investigate." Hu Rui handed Shen Tingting's information to his father.
