past calamity

Cold, trembling slightly, he patted him with both hands, and after a while, he whispered timidly, "Daddy, baby... can I touch you?" Zhan Hao turned away with a wry smile, Child, "Of course." Then Huolian stretched out her trembling hand, tentatively as if she couldn't believe it, touched Zhan Hao's back lightly, and then gradually tightened Zhan Hao's robe, Zhan Hao saw With such a reaction, he slowly pushed him away, "Why don't you like Daddy holding you?" "Ah, no, no, baby... I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications." "You don't believe what I said?" Huo Lian fiercely Looking up, his eyes were full of surprise and regret, as if he was saying, "Father, give me another chance! But I clearly said that I would only hug once, so why go back on my word now?" The child who loves things has a look of frustration and remorse, Zhan Hao smiles knowingly, he has not cherished this child for 20 years, how can he be willing to hold this child only once now?Knowing the son is like a father, Zhan Hao pulled Huo Lian into his arms with a little force, this time Huo Lian's inner defense line was completely defeated, he threw himself into Zhan Hao's arms and burst into tears, like a person who was afraid of losing his beloved. Wu's child hugged Zhan Hao tightly, "Dad...Dad..." Zhan Hao's eyes turned red from crying, "Dad, I beg you, please don't leave the child behind, please. Under Father's hands, baby... I really have nothing left, don't let me go, I really have nowhere to go." There was trembling in his crying, like a frightened child, Zhan Hao Gently stroking him, "Silly boy, do you think dad really is willing to part with you? Dad always thought that it was impossible to embrace hatred in this life. After so many years, dad and hatred have already merged into one."

Fang Xu heard every word clearly outside, with tears in his eyes, "Silly brother, it's really hard for you, why would I snatch it from you?" Zhan Hao silently took out the Zhan's registration book from his robe, and handed it to him. Huo Lian, "You haven't seen it yet, have you?" Huo Lian lowered her head and looked away, Dad, do you still want the child to uncover your own scars?Zhan Hao stuffed the book into Huo Lian's hands, forced his hand, and opened the book, only to see two words "Zhan Xi" written on the last page. Huo Lian was stunned for a second, and then like He shoved the booklet back into Zhan Hao's hands like a hot potato, "No, dad, how can this be, you...you've been looking forward to knowing your biological son for 20 years, baby, it's okay, baby, really I really don’t care.” The farther to the back, the voice became smaller and smaller, Zhan Hao stared at Huo Lian’s panicked look, “You, really don’t care, don’t you regret it?” Huo Lian resisted the pain in her heart, “No ...I don't regret it." Zhan Hao held Huo Lian's shoulders with both hands, "This is just for those who are in court, Fang Xu has already entered the genealogy, he has his family, and he lives better than you. Here It's your home, it will always be." "Father", my heart suddenly warmed up, the autumn wind was still blowing across the lake surface, making ripples, blowing Huolian's black hair and Zhan Hao's white hair.The heartache was relieved for a while, and the senses of the body gradually recovered. The lake sent wisps of autumn wind, and the poison on Huo Lian's body was not cleared. He was soaked and blown on the shore for so long. Shivering, his lips were purple from the cold, Zhan Hao looked distressed, took off his cloak and put it on for him, Huo Lian pushed Zhan Hao's hand in surprise, Zhan Hao was not annoyed, and said lightly, "You I just woke up, my body is still weak so don't be brave. Let's go, go back and have a good rest." Then he walked back with his arms, came out from the hidden grass pile, looked around for a while, but found no trace of Fang Xu , and it was difficult to speak, how could Huo Lian's little thought be hidden from Zhan Hao, "Don't worry, he's fine, he agreed to this matter a long time ago."

Kaifeng

Fang Xu has been running all the way to Kaifeng since he left the lakeside, because the time given to them by the sage is almost up, "Uncle Bao." "It's a nephew, what should I call it now?" Fang Xu smiled embarrassedly, " Zhan Zhao." Bao Zheng laughed loudly, "Okay, what a Zhan Zhao." Then he took out a document from his bosom and handed it to Bao Zheng, "This..." "Your Majesty should wait impatiently!" Bao Zheng Zheng flipped through the documents, "Nephew really thinks it through, once this matter is decided, there is no room for regret." Fang Xu fell into deep thought, as if talking to himself, "You didn't see him just now, really? I dare not think that if my father really gave up on him, even if his poisonous wounds were cured, his despair would kill him. He sacrificed too much. Although I knew that I was not the son of the Fang family since I was young, I Dad treats me like his own, I have a happy family, love my family, and you have cared for me since childhood, what I have is what every ordinary child in this world would have, and even more, But Huo Lian is suffering too much, how can I fight with him, isn't it too selfish, if the price for getting all this is to step on other people's pain, or even a dead body, how can I feel at ease." Bao Zheng There was a smile on Tie Hei's face, "What a good son, brother Zi'an has taught you all these years for nothing."

Infernal Forum

Huolian has been falling asleep since returning from the lake, as if she hasn't slept for a long time.That's right, I have been living a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife since I was sensible, and I have to keep my ears open all the time even when I sleep. I have never slept so peacefully like this time.Upon waking up, Yu Huolian had directly transformed into Zhan Xi, and she was not used to it for a while.

After leaving the room, a ray of morning light came quietly, pouring on Huo Lian, "Chen Xi, it is so beautiful and full of hope. Zhan Xi, no wonder Dad gave me such a name. Practice martial arts at night, do homework, perform missions, and go out at night, I have never been so leisurely and elegant to appreciate the morning sunshine." "Young Master," the hunchback called out suddenly, pulling Huo Lian back to reality Come on, "The young master should be called Master Zhan now." The hunchback said jokingly, Huo Lian was embarrassed by him, "Uncle Tuo," there was a bit of coquettishness in the voice, which really shocked the hunchback. How many years has it been since the child called him that, and Huo Lian was even more embarrassed by her sudden tone, and changed the subject, "By the way, Uncle Tuo, you saw Fang Xu, oh no, Zhan Zhao... ..." Uh, I didn't think right, it should be called "Brother, where did he go?" Huo Lian hadn't seen him since that day by the lake, and the first thing she wanted to do when she woke up was to know how he was doing now, but Unexpectedly, he was choked by a title.The hunchback almost didn't laugh when he saw him like this. He remembered that Huo Lian dealt with everything calmly, but now he was in a panic. Could it be that changing his name would make such a big difference? "He went to the cave and said he wanted to erect a decent monument for the ancestors of the Zhan family." Huo Lian thought to himself, erecting a monument, how could such a big matter not call me, "Uncle Tuo, where is my father? "Hey, brat, don't bother your father, do you know that the suzerain has been guarding you non-stop for the past few days, and he is not afraid of tiring your father." Huolian lowered her head and smiled, "Let my father rest, Unless he wakes up by himself, don't call him." Then he got up and ran outside, "Where are you going?" "Go help." Just as he was about to stop him, Huo Lian had already run away, and the hunchback muttered softly, "I don't know Cherish yourself, I wouldn't have told you if I knew about it."

Recognizing ancestors and returning to the clan to stay at the border

Houshan Tomb

Fang Xu was digging with a shovel. Although it was impossible to remove all nine members of the Zhan Family 410 from the cave in one go, at least a decent monument should be erected for the ancestors of the Zhan Family!However, the back mountain has been uninhabited for many years, and it is rocky. The soil on the hillside is very hard. When will it be!" "Brother," "Huo Lian, why don't you take a good rest and come here?" "Of course I'm here to help you, to erect mountains and monuments for our ancestors, how come I don't have such things." "But you..." "Don't be a mother-in-law, this injury is not a problem." Fang Xu shook his head while talking, and eight horses couldn't pull back what his younger brother decided, so he had to let him.In this way, the two brothers came and shoveled each other, sweating like rain from morning to dusk, until the two of them were ashamed as if they had fallen to the ground. Looking at each other's embarrassed appearance, they looked at each other and smiled, and the laughter echoed in the mountains.How long has it been since the Houshan of Infernal Affairs had such hearty laughter, this is the life that two young men in their early twenties should have. "Hahaha, cough cough..." "Ah, Huolian, what's wrong with you, you don't feel well." Fang Xu couldn't help but feel a little worried. Strong and tired, she almost fell down, not to mention that Huolian just got out of bed not long ago, "Huolian, why don't we take a rest first." Huolian squeezed out a faint smile, "It's okay, I just choked, see You are making a fuss. Your Majesty should have seen it tonight, and we have to fix the stele in front of the household registration department." As soon as the words came out, he started working without any explanation, and Fang Xu didn't make any mistakes.Huo Lian was naturally surprised that she said the word "Holy One" so smoothly, without any ambiguity, and thinking about her embarrassment in the morning, the Zhan family seemed to be the only destination in this life in her heart.Enduring physical discomfort, he still insisted on erecting a monument for the Zhan family.

At sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun shone obliquely on the two sweaty teenagers, sprinkled the last handful of soil, Fang Xu was already exhausted, and Huo Lian was so exhausted that he almost collapsed, the two of them faced the huge tombstone with no words Kneel down and kowtow, each with his own thoughts.
