Returning from the full level: I have covered that sick child
Chapter 126 Huo Wen'an's Marriage Proposal Token
Huo Wen'an's health is fine, he just needs to meditate and cultivate.Although the hospital is the Huo family's private hospital, it is not only open to the Huo family. The islanders on Shenyin Island can come to the hospital for treatment if they are sick.
Huo Wen'an hated the noise, so he decided to leave the hospital and take Xu Xingguang back to his residence.
On the night before being discharged from the hospital, Huo Wen'an called Zheng Lie. Xu Xingguang didn't go in to listen, but only vaguely heard Huo Wen'an's broken voice mysteriously say: "The highest standard, of course."
While Xu Xingguang was playing a small game of customs clearance in the Chinese Medicine Hall, he was distracted thinking about what kind of medicine Huo Wenan was selling in his gourd.
Since Huo Wen'an intentionally hid it from her, Xu Xingguang cooperated and did not pursue him.
Early the next morning, Cheng Yue drove a private plane to pick up Huo Wen'an.
Cheng Yue was the woman who went to Cangshan Town to pick Huo Wen'an back to Shenyin Island.
Cheng Yue looked very happy when she saw Xu Xingguang, "Miss Xu, we met again." Cheng Yue was more lively than the last time they met. She had already heard about Xu Xingguang's complete healing of the helm, and she also knew that Xu Xingguang was the helm's fiancée .
After confirming that Xu Xingguang is her own, Cheng Yue's attitude towards Xu Xingguang is naturally different. "The last time we met was in a hurry, I forgot to introduce myself to you. My name is Cheng Yue, and I am the captain of the guard at the mansion of Young Master Helm."
Cheng Yue dressed more casually, with a white T-shirt and black trousers. Her arms exposed outside the short sleeves showed a sexy and healthy wheat color. Her muscles were not full, but they were well-proportioned and strong.
There are guns and weapons pinned to her waist, and an iron ring that exudes a cold breath is worn on her wrist, and a hidden weapon should be hidden inside.
Huo Wen'an's private plane had luxurious interior facilities. After boarding the plane, Huo Wen'an was helped by Xu Xingguang to lie down in the lounge inside.She walked to the cockpit and stared at the dashboard, feeling a little itchy.
Seeing Xu Xingguang eager to try, Cheng Yue asked her, "Can Miss Xu know how to fly a plane?"
Xu Xingguang said: "I have never flown a private jet, but I have touched a fighter jet." She once drove a fighter jet and negotiated with three enemy fighter planes at high altitude. He successfully escaped by parachuting.
On the enemy country's military plane, sits the head of the country's flight combat department.
After that battle, she became a legend in their Legion, known by her comrades as the 'Condor of the Sky'.
However, that was a long time ago.
But no matter how long it has passed, she still maintains a sense of familiarity with fighter jets. In the space of her bracelet, there is a fighter jet that has been with her for many years.
Knowing that Xu Xingguang had driven a fighter jet, Cheng Yue gave her a thumbs up and praised, "Awesome."
Noticing the old and new scars on Cheng Yue's body, Xu Xingguang asked her about her previous experience, and Cheng Yue said frankly: "I used to be a soldier of country A, and I was in the Marine Corps. I was expelled for disobeying military orders. After leaving the military headquarters, he entered Shenyin Island and became a subordinate of the young master at the helm."
"Look, it doesn't look like someone who would disobey military orders." Xu Xingguang was a soldier, and she saw a familiar shadow in Cheng Yue, very much like her in a certain reincarnation world.
Cheng Yue laughed at herself, and she said: "Eight years ago, a poisonous gas leak occurred on Jingluo Island in country M. In order to cover up the scandal, my boss strictly forbids us to disclose the news to the outside world."
"Because the people living on Whale Falling Island are local aborigines, my boss doesn't care about the lives and deaths of more than 100 aborigines."
After hearing the cause, Xu Xingguang already knew the consequences, "So, you told them the truth?"
"Well." Cheng Yue said: "It is said that it is a bounden duty for soldiers to obey orders, but my original intention is to protect compatriots, not to harm compatriots. So, I disobeyed military orders."
Cheng Yue shrugged, and opened the corner of her T-shirt to reveal the hideous scar on her waist. She said, "I paid a terrible price for this."
As soon as Xu Xingguang saw the wound on Cheng Yue's waist, he knew how cruelly Cheng Yue had been tortured.
That is the punishment of beheading.
In country M, soldiers who disobey military orders will either face life imprisonment.Or, you have to survive the torture of beheading, and take off your identity from country M, become a black household, and be driven out of the territory of country M.
The so-called waist-cutting torture is to use two poison-hardened iron hooks to pass through the waist of the offender and hang them high above the torture rack.
If you can survive a day and a night, you are considered innocent.
Xu Xingguang respected Cheng Yue, "You are very admirable."
Cheng Yue said: "I think what I did was right, and I never regret it." Give her another chance, and she will still do that.
Cheng Yue looked back, she stared at the closed door of the lounge, and said with emotion: "I was kicked out of country M, and I had nowhere to go. No country in the world would take me in. In the end, it was Zheng Lie who found me. Killed me and brought me back to Shenyin Island."
"Since then, I have abandoned my original name and changed my name to Cheng Yue from my Xia Guo mother's surname."
Cheng Yue gave Xu Xingguang a cool smile, and she said: "Miss Xu, the helm may not be a good person, but in my heart, he is a kind person like a god."
Xu Xingguang smiled and patted Cheng Yue's shoulder, "Let's go, I'm here to secretly teach you."
"okay."
The private plane crossed the sky above Shenyin Island and flew towards the northern mountains.In 10 minutes, the plane landed directly on the private apron in Huo Wen'an Manor.
Huo Wen'an's manor covers an area of more than 8 square meters, with a construction area of [-] square meters. The houses are almost all in Gothic architectural style.It is reported that this place used to be the place where the helmsman of the past dynasties lived, but the old helmsman moved out to live in order to accompany his highness the princess.
Before getting off the plane, Xu Xingguang stood at the cabin door, looked at the mysterious manor full of history in the distance, and said with emotion: "This place is very suitable for shooting ghost movies."
Hearing this, the housekeepers who stood in a row on the tarmac waiting for Huo Wenan to go home were all frightened and tensed up.
They were afraid that Huo Wen'an would get angry.
But Huo Wen'an was not angry. After hearing what Xu Xingguang said, he even seriously considered its feasibility. "You're right, you don't need to pay rent for horror movies here."
Thinking of something, Huo Wen'an smiled coldly, and said: "At night, when the lights are turned off, ghosts are everywhere."
There are countless Huo family members and servants who died in this manor, and there is no shortage of such things.
Xu Xingguang smiled and warned Huo Wen'an: "Your voice isn't good yet, so don't talk." Then she helped Huo Wen'an get off the plane.
The housekeepers were all shocked when they saw Xu Xingguang talking and laughing happily with Huo Wen'an.
It seems that what Mr. Zheng Lie said is correct, this lady surnamed Xu will become their future hostess.
The helm mansion is too big, there are several stewards who are in charge of the manor's affairs, and they are all people who have served the old helm.The chief housekeeper is Shenyin Xia, who is said to be an aboriginal resident of Shenyin Island with a higher education.
His elder brother is Shen Yinchun, and he is the old housekeeper who follows the old helm.
People in the manor call Shenyin Xia "Uncle Xia".
Uncle Xia is 60 years old this year and has lived in this manor for more than 30 years. He is very familiar with every scene and every thing in the manor.
Zheng Lie was a dull gourd, and Huo Wen'an was mentally weak, so Shenyin Xia recommended Xu Xingguang.
Knowing that Miss Xu is the future wife of the helm, Uncle Xia treated her more amiably. He told Xu Xingguang: "I'm going to be discharged from the hospital today, and the helm called last night to get us ready to welcome Miss Xu."
In fact, Huo Wen'an used the standard specification for welcoming the young lady.
Xu Xingguang was about to ask Xiahou what preparations they had made, when he saw a maid standing in front of him carrying tea.
The maid was wearing a long black cheongsam dress, and her long black hair was tied with a pear-blossom wood hairpin. She held a tray in both hands, and stood on the only way to the gate of the castle with downcast eyes.
Xu Xingguang was confused, she looked back at Huo Wen'an.
Huo Wen'an smiled lightly and remained silent.
Uncle Xia told Xu Xingguang: "Miss Xu is a distinguished guest of our mansion, and even the lover of our lord at the helm. When Miss Xu comes to the door for the first time, we must greet Miss Xu according to the most noble and high-standard etiquette of Shenyin Island."
Uncle Xia looked at the maid and explained with a smile: "There is a cup of tea on the tray. The tea leaves used are the unique camellias of Shenyin Island. Only the tenderest and freshest buds are picked every spring. The person who makes the tea The water is the rare natural freshwater well in the center of Shenyin Island."
"Drinking this cup of Shenyin tea, Ms. Xu is the husband recognized and accepted by the Helm's Mansion." Uncle Xia stopped in time, and changed his words: "The guest."
Xu Xingguang looked at Huo Wen'an behind him with a half-smile.
She believed that Huo Wen'an had indeed ordered the people in the helm mansion to greet her with the highest standard of hospitality, but it wasn't necessarily the etiquette for welcoming guests, in all likelihood, it was the etiquette for welcoming the future mistress.
He was sincere.
Xu Xingguang cooperated with Huo Wenan's arrangement and did not expose him.
After receiving the Shenyin tea handed over by the young maid, Xu Xingguang took a sip.
But seeing that Uncle Xia was still watching eagerly, Xu Xingguang hesitated for a while, then raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup.
Seeing this, Uncle Xia smiled.
The group continued to walk forward and came to an open-air fountain pool.
There is a hole the size of a bowl at the bottom of the fountain pool, and the water in the pool flows down the hole to nowhere.
A maid was holding a golden basin, standing by the fountain pool, obviously there was another ceremony here.
Sure enough, Uncle Xia said to Xu Xingguang: "This fountain pool is connected to the waters of Shenyin Island. Miss Xu can choose a long-lived turtle and release it here to pray for blessings."
Xu Xingguang thought these rules were quite interesting, so he picked a medium-sized little turtle from the golden basin, made a wish, and put it into the fountain pool.
The little turtle slowly crawled towards the hole with a thick bowl mouth, and ran directly along the hole.
Seeing this, Uncle Xia smiled with his eyes wide open, and read aloud: "The long-lived turtle enters the Longevity Sea, it will be safe and smooth and live a long life!"
Xu Xingguang: "."
Kinda superstitious.
After walking for a few more minutes, they arrived at the helm mansion where Huo Wenan lived.
The gray-black Gothic high-rise towers over the mountains of the island, like a sleeping demon.Before entering the helm mansion, one must pass through a majestic palace wall gate.
The door was closed, and there was no key in the lock.
Xu Xingguang stared at the two thick and dark iron doors, and at a glance he could see that there were countless traps hidden in the doors. If he forced his way in, he would be riddled with holes from the hidden weapons inside the doors.
At this moment, Huo Wenan suddenly supported the wheelchair and stood up tremblingly.
With the help of a cane, he walked slowly to Xu Xingguang's side, looked at the door, and said, "There is a mysterious tunnel in the helm's mansion, which can lead to the waters of Shenyin Island to escape. When Shenyin Island was besieged, the helm's mansion was The last way out."
Huo Wen'an pointed to the two black doors in front of him, and he said, "This door is the last security of the Huo family. Since ancient times, the helm holds the python pattern power ring, and the wife at the helm holds the key to the door."
Huo Wen'an looked at the butler.
Uncle Xia's heart shuddered, and he hurriedly handed an old wooden box to Huo Wen'an.
Huo Wen'an took the box and said to Xu Xingguang, "This is the key to the door of life."
The Huo family has developed to this day, and it has long been afraid of the threat of any force. This door of life may never activate its true function.
However, it is a tradition on Shenyin Island that the helmsman hand over the key to the helmsman to the lady at the helm.
This is the most romantic courtship method of the Huo family.
Even when Huo Canghai married his first wife, he had to follow the Huo family's rules from generation to generation and hand over the key to his birth door to his new wife.
Later, Huo Canghai met His Royal Highness the Princess whom he really loved. He couldn't give the same key to two women, but he didn't want to wrong His Royal Highness, so he built a palace on Lanyue Mountain and set up another life gate.
He gave the key to the birth gate of Lanyue Palace to his highness the princess.
This life door key was originally placed with Huo Canghai.
Last night, Huo Wen'an sent Zheng Lie to Huo Canghai to get the key overnight. He thought that Huo Canghai would make things difficult for him, but unexpectedly, Huo Canghai happily gave the key to Zheng Lie.
Obviously, Huo Canghai has accepted the identity of Xu Xingguang, the prospective granddaughter-in-law.
Huo Wen'an stared deeply at Xu Xingguang, and he asked solemnly, "This is my proposal token for you. Xu Xingguang, do you dare to accept it?"
Give this key to Xu Xingguang, and from the moment Xu Xingguang takes the key to the door of life, she will become the real lady at the helm of Shenyin Island.
Xu Xingguang saw her figure from Huo Wen'an's dark eyes.
It turned out that Huo Wen'an saw himself so brightly.
Xu Xingguang took a step back suddenly, raised her hands, palms up, bravely met Huo Wen'an's gaze, and answered him forcefully: "Thanks to the trust and preference of the helm, Xu Xingguang is willing to accept this great gift! "
"In the future, I will advance and retreat with you, and share adversity!"
Huo Wen'an smiled from the bottom of his heart.
He solemnly placed the box in Xu Xingguang's palm. "Go and open the door of life."
"it is good."
Xu Xingguang took out the heavy precision key from the box, inserted it into the lock, turned the key, and heard the sound of the mechanism starting inside the door.
After a while, the sound of the mechanism turning calmed down, the key popped out automatically, and the closed door slowly opened.
Seeing this scene, the old housekeeper, Uncle Xia, led the other housekeepers, servants and maids, bowed to Xu Xingguang one after another, and almost shouted Madam.
Gothic architecture has a mysterious, ancient and eerie aura. The gray-black building walls, together with scarlet furniture and curtains, give Xu Xingguang the illusion of traveling to the world of vampires.
And she is the vampire's food tonight.
"This room is gloomy, like" Feeling that the next words are unlucky, Xu Xingguang stopped in time.
Huo Wen'an continued for her: "It's like living in an ancient tomb, isn't it?"
"That's what you said."
Huo Wen'an told Xu Xingguang: "According to the old man, the buildings here were not originally in this style, but my great-grandfather didn't know what stimulated him, so he insisted on pushing down the original buildings and rebuilding this palace."
Huo Wen'an said: "Not long after the palace was built, he died suddenly. He was only 30 years old when he died. Originally, all the direct descendants of the Huo family lived here, but later they disliked the eerie and weird place, and everyone moved out."
"Until now, only the helm needs to live here."
This was also the reason why Huo Wen'an lived alone in this gloomy palace.
"If your great-grandfather is not dead, how old is this year?" Xu Xingguang was curious about what stimulated that old ancestor, and his taste and aesthetics became so unusual.
"About 120 years old. He gave birth to my grandfather at the age of 28. My grandfather passed away when he was only two years old. My grandfather had a rough childhood. Later, in order to seize power, he had to marry my grandmother."
Although Huo Canghai's methods are cruel and ruthless, he is not without conscience. He relied on the support of his wife's family to successfully win the helm.Although he didn't love Huo Wen'an's grandma, he never did anything wrong to Huo Wen'an's grandma.
Compared to those scumbags who kick away their wives once they gain power, Huo Canghai can be regarded as a responsible man.
Xu Xingguang said suddenly: "Then your great-grandfather is only a few years older than my grandfather."
"You mean, if your grandfather is still alive, he will be more than 100 years old this year?" Thinking of Mo Yinshu's age, Huo Wen'an said incredulously: "If Aunt Mo is alive, she should be only 45 years old this year. If you do this calculation, you Grandpa only had Aunt Mo when he was in his 70s?"
is it possible?
Like talk?
Huo Wen'an knew that some men in their 60s were still fertile, but this was the first time he heard that an old man in his 80s and [-]s was still fertile.
"You made a mistake." Xu Xingguang explained: "My mother is not my grandfather's biological daughter. According to my mother, my grandfather should have been kicked out by the family. He never married in his life, and my mother is his adopted daughter. .”
"However, my grandfather's physical fitness is quite good. The last time I saw him was when I was 13 years old. At that time, he was already a hundred years old. He could still eat and drink, and his teeth were full of teeth. But it's a pity , He had an accident while fishing, we did not find his body, but picked up one of his cloth shoes on the river slope."
Huo Wen'an suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Seeing that Huo Wen'an's face turned pale, Zheng Lie reminded Huo Wen'an to go to rest.Xu Xingguang also felt that Huo Wenan should rest more, so he said, "Which floor is your room on, I'll take you there to rest."
"The third floor."
"Let's go then."
After sending Huo Wen'an into the room, Xu Xingguang was stimulated by the festive joy on the bed.
"This..." she reminded Huo Wen'an: "Today is not our wedding night."
"It's okay, in my heart, you are my wife." Huo Wen'an asked Xu Xingguang: "Do you want to lie down with me for a while? With such a festive quilt, it's not good for me to sleep alone."
"That's fine."
The bed was wide enough for two to lie side by side, and room for two or three more children.
Huo Wen'an's body was really weak, and he didn't have the energy to think about those scenes that were not suitable for children. Soon after lying down, his breathing became even and long.
Xu Xingguang helped him cover the quilt, got out of bed softly, and planned to take a good look at the old house of the Huo family.
There must be many stories hidden in an old house like this. Xu Xingguang is very interested in the history of the Huo family.
When Uncle Xia learned that Xu Xingguang was going to visit the house, he said, "This house is too big, with a total of 128 rooms. Ms. Xu may not be familiar with it for the first time, so let me go with you."
Xu Xingguang thought the same way, "Then it will be troublesome."
"It's my duty."
Uncle Xia took a lamp and walked with Xu Xingguang to the long corridor. He told Xu Xingguang: "The lighting in this room is not very good. Even in the daytime, when the curtains are opened, the light is very dark. I took light, so that it is convenient for Miss Xu to visit."
"it is good."
They first visited the first floor. After the visit, they stood on the connecting platform from the first floor to the second floor and the basement. Uncle Xia told Xu Xingguang: "The basement is the activity area for the helm. Under normal circumstances, without his permission, we You can't go in."
But thinking of Xu Xingguang's special status, Uncle Xia didn't dare to stop Xu Xingguang, so he said, "If Ms. Xu wants to visit, then you have to go alone."
Xu Xingguang didn't want to make things difficult for others, so he said empathetically, "Then wait until he recovers and he has a chance before going."
She will stay in Shenyin Island for a long time, and return to the mainland after the inspection work at the research institute is over.
"That's good." Xiahou secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He took Xu Xingguang around the second floor, and noticed that Xu Xingguang had been staring at the door at the end of the corridor, so he told Xu Xingguang: "Behind that door is the corridor leading to the east building and the building behind it. Next to it is the place where the old helm and his father used to live, if Miss Xu wants to visit, that's fine too."
"It's just that no one lives there, and it may not be comfortable to stay for a long time."
Although the servants go there to clean it every day, the magnetic field is a bit mysterious in a room where no one lives.
Even Uncle Xia usually wouldn't go there alone.
Xu Xingguang stared at the gate that separated the corridor from the other two buildings, and was really interested. "If Uncle Xia is not busy, just accompany me to have a look."
"I'm not busy, then we'll go there now."
Uncle Xia opened the door, took Xu Xingguang through the long corridor, and said as he walked, "Actually, there is nothing to see here. The furniture was made by the old helm father when he was alive. If you really want to live in it, you have to repair it." some."
"But no one comes to live now. Even if it's a family banquet, everyone just eats on the first floor and then goes back. The most lively time on our island every year is the days before and after the sacrificial festival. But those Children who come from afar, would rather live in the staff dormitory than come here.”
As for the reason, Uncle Xia didn't need to say it clearly, Xu Xingguang also knew it.
After the two briefly visited the East Building, it was time for lunch.
Uncle Xia wanted to go back, but seeing that Xu Xingguang was still not satisfied, he said: "There is nothing else in the building behind, just some old photos hanging there."
Uncle Xia told Xu Xingguang: "In the few months before the old helm's father passed away, he kept himself locked in that room, staring at the photos in a daze.
Uncle Xia said this because he wanted to dispel Xu Xingguang's curiosity.
But Xu Xingguang became very curious about this.
"An old photo? Then I really want to see it."
Although Uncle Xia was helpless, he could only accompany Xu Xingguang to look at those old photos.
The building behind, because of the dim light and humid air, looked even more eerie.The footsteps of Xu Xingguang and Uncle Xia sounded on the first floor, but they could echo to the third floor.
As soon as Uncle Xia got older, he still felt hairy.
But Xu Xingguang's footsteps were not slow at all, and he was very bold.
Uncle Xia admired Xu Xingguang.
Although the girl is young, she is quite courageous.
That's right, the girl who can take the helm and fall in love with them is a little white rabbit?
"It's here." Xu Xingguang saw the photos Uncle Xia mentioned.
Those photos were posted all over the corridor on the first floor, extending to the deserted garden at the end of the corridor.There are not many photos, and they are posted every one meter. The characters and scenery in the photos have been mottled and distorted due to the age.
Many photos were blurred, Xu Xingguang looked at those old photos one by one, and finally, she stopped in front of a photo of a plant.
Seeing Xu Xingguang stop, Uncle Xia glanced at the photo curiously, but he didn't recognize what was in the photo. "Miss Xu, what's wrong with this photo?"
Xu Xingguang said, "It's the Xingyun Worm."
"What is that?" Uncle Xia was confused, he had never heard of it.
Xu Xingguang shook his head and explained: "The Xingyun Worm is a creature that looks like a grass plant. This creature has variability."
But what Xu Xingguang didn't tell Uncle Xia was that among the many murderous genes of the corpse centipede, there was the gene of the star cloud insect.
Strictly speaking, the star cloud worm is an indispensable thing for cultivating the corpse centipede, because only it has variability!
Huo Wen'an hated the noise, so he decided to leave the hospital and take Xu Xingguang back to his residence.
On the night before being discharged from the hospital, Huo Wen'an called Zheng Lie. Xu Xingguang didn't go in to listen, but only vaguely heard Huo Wen'an's broken voice mysteriously say: "The highest standard, of course."
While Xu Xingguang was playing a small game of customs clearance in the Chinese Medicine Hall, he was distracted thinking about what kind of medicine Huo Wenan was selling in his gourd.
Since Huo Wen'an intentionally hid it from her, Xu Xingguang cooperated and did not pursue him.
Early the next morning, Cheng Yue drove a private plane to pick up Huo Wen'an.
Cheng Yue was the woman who went to Cangshan Town to pick Huo Wen'an back to Shenyin Island.
Cheng Yue looked very happy when she saw Xu Xingguang, "Miss Xu, we met again." Cheng Yue was more lively than the last time they met. She had already heard about Xu Xingguang's complete healing of the helm, and she also knew that Xu Xingguang was the helm's fiancée .

Cheng Yue dressed more casually, with a white T-shirt and black trousers. Her arms exposed outside the short sleeves showed a sexy and healthy wheat color. Her muscles were not full, but they were well-proportioned and strong.
There are guns and weapons pinned to her waist, and an iron ring that exudes a cold breath is worn on her wrist, and a hidden weapon should be hidden inside.
Huo Wen'an's private plane had luxurious interior facilities. After boarding the plane, Huo Wen'an was helped by Xu Xingguang to lie down in the lounge inside.She walked to the cockpit and stared at the dashboard, feeling a little itchy.
Seeing Xu Xingguang eager to try, Cheng Yue asked her, "Can Miss Xu know how to fly a plane?"

However, that was a long time ago.
But no matter how long it has passed, she still maintains a sense of familiarity with fighter jets. In the space of her bracelet, there is a fighter jet that has been with her for many years.
Knowing that Xu Xingguang had driven a fighter jet, Cheng Yue gave her a thumbs up and praised, "Awesome."
Noticing the old and new scars on Cheng Yue's body, Xu Xingguang asked her about her previous experience, and Cheng Yue said frankly: "I used to be a soldier of country A, and I was in the Marine Corps.

"Since then, I have abandoned my original name and changed my name to Cheng Yue from my Xia Guo mother's surname."
Cheng Yue gave Xu Xingguang a cool smile, and she said: "Miss Xu, the helm may not be a good person, but in my heart, he is a kind person like a god."
Xu Xingguang smiled and patted Cheng Yue's shoulder, "Let's go, I'm here to secretly teach you."

Xu Xingguang was about to ask Xiahou what preparations they had made, when he saw a maid standing in front of him carrying tea.
The maid was wearing a long black cheongsam dress, and her long black hair was tied with a pear-blossom wood hairpin. She held a tray in both hands, and stood on the only way to the gate of the castle with downcast eyes.
Xu Xingguang was confused, she looked back at Huo Wen'an.
Huo Wen'an smiled lightly and remained silent.
Uncle Xia told Xu Xingguang: "Miss Xu is a distinguished guest of our mansion, and even the lover of our lord at the helm. When Miss Xu comes to the door for the first time, we must greet Miss Xu according to the most noble and high-standard etiquette of Shenyin Island."
Uncle Xia looked at the maid and explained with a smile: "There is a cup of tea on the tray. The tea leaves used are the unique camellias of Shenyin Island. Only the tenderest and freshest buds are picked every spring. The person who makes the tea The water is the rare natural freshwater well in the center of Shenyin Island."
"Drinking this cup of Shenyin tea, Ms. Xu is the husband recognized and accepted by the Helm's Mansion." Uncle Xia stopped in time, and changed his words: "The guest."
Xu Xingguang looked at Huo Wen'an behind him with a half-smile.
She believed that Huo Wen'an had indeed ordered the people in the helm mansion to greet her with the highest standard of hospitality, but it wasn't necessarily the etiquette for welcoming guests, in all likelihood, it was the etiquette for welcoming the future mistress.
He was sincere.
Xu Xingguang cooperated with Huo Wenan's arrangement and did not expose him.
After receiving the Shenyin tea handed over by the young maid, Xu Xingguang took a sip.
But seeing that Uncle Xia was still watching eagerly, Xu Xingguang hesitated for a while, then raised his head and drank all the tea in the cup.
Seeing this, Uncle Xia smiled.
The group continued to walk forward and came to an open-air fountain pool.
There is a hole the size of a bowl at the bottom of the fountain pool, and the water in the pool flows down the hole to nowhere.
A maid was holding a golden basin, standing by the fountain pool, obviously there was another ceremony here.
Sure enough, Uncle Xia said to Xu Xingguang: "This fountain pool is connected to the waters of Shenyin Island. Miss Xu can choose a long-lived turtle and release it here to pray for blessings."
Xu Xingguang thought these rules were quite interesting, so he picked a medium-sized little turtle from the golden basin, made a wish, and put it into the fountain pool.
The little turtle slowly crawled towards the hole with a thick bowl mouth, and ran directly along the hole.
Seeing this, Uncle Xia smiled with his eyes wide open, and read aloud: "The long-lived turtle enters the Longevity Sea, it will be safe and smooth and live a long life!"
Xu Xingguang: "."
Kinda superstitious.
After walking for a few more minutes, they arrived at the helm mansion where Huo Wenan lived.
The gray-black Gothic high-rise towers over the mountains of the island, like a sleeping demon.Before entering the helm mansion, one must pass through a majestic palace wall gate.
The door was closed, and there was no key in the lock.
Xu Xingguang stared at the two thick and dark iron doors, and at a glance he could see that there were countless traps hidden in the doors. If he forced his way in, he would be riddled with holes from the hidden weapons inside the doors.
At this moment, Huo Wenan suddenly supported the wheelchair and stood up tremblingly.
With the help of a cane, he walked slowly to Xu Xingguang's side, looked at the door, and said, "There is a mysterious tunnel in the helm's mansion, which can lead to the waters of Shenyin Island to escape. When Shenyin Island was besieged, the helm's mansion was The last way out."
Huo Wen'an pointed to the two black doors in front of him, and he said, "This door is the last security of the Huo family. Since ancient times, the helm holds the python pattern power ring, and the wife at the helm holds the key to the door."
Huo Wen'an looked at the butler.
Uncle Xia's heart shuddered, and he hurriedly handed an old wooden box to Huo Wen'an.
Huo Wen'an took the box and said to Xu Xingguang, "This is the key to the door of life."
The Huo family has developed to this day, and it has long been afraid of the threat of any force. This door of life may never activate its true function.
However, it is a tradition on Shenyin Island that the helmsman hand over the key to the helmsman to the lady at the helm.
This is the most romantic courtship method of the Huo family.
Even when Huo Canghai married his first wife, he had to follow the Huo family's rules from generation to generation and hand over the key to his birth door to his new wife.
Later, Huo Canghai met His Royal Highness the Princess whom he really loved. He couldn't give the same key to two women, but he didn't want to wrong His Royal Highness, so he built a palace on Lanyue Mountain and set up another life gate.
He gave the key to the birth gate of Lanyue Palace to his highness the princess.
This life door key was originally placed with Huo Canghai.
Last night, Huo Wen'an sent Zheng Lie to Huo Canghai to get the key overnight. He thought that Huo Canghai would make things difficult for him, but unexpectedly, Huo Canghai happily gave the key to Zheng Lie.
Obviously, Huo Canghai has accepted the identity of Xu Xingguang, the prospective granddaughter-in-law.
Huo Wen'an stared deeply at Xu Xingguang, and he asked solemnly, "This is my proposal token for you. Xu Xingguang, do you dare to accept it?"
Give this key to Xu Xingguang, and from the moment Xu Xingguang takes the key to the door of life, she will become the real lady at the helm of Shenyin Island.
Xu Xingguang saw her figure from Huo Wen'an's dark eyes.
It turned out that Huo Wen'an saw himself so brightly.
Xu Xingguang took a step back suddenly, raised her hands, palms up, bravely met Huo Wen'an's gaze, and answered him forcefully: "Thanks to the trust and preference of the helm, Xu Xingguang is willing to accept this great gift! "
"In the future, I will advance and retreat with you, and share adversity!"
Huo Wen'an smiled from the bottom of his heart.
He solemnly placed the box in Xu Xingguang's palm. "Go and open the door of life."
"it is good."
Xu Xingguang took out the heavy precision key from the box, inserted it into the lock, turned the key, and heard the sound of the mechanism starting inside the door.
After a while, the sound of the mechanism turning calmed down, the key popped out automatically, and the closed door slowly opened.
Seeing this scene, the old housekeeper, Uncle Xia, led the other housekeepers, servants and maids, bowed to Xu Xingguang one after another, and almost shouted Madam.
Gothic architecture has a mysterious, ancient and eerie aura. The gray-black building walls, together with scarlet furniture and curtains, give Xu Xingguang the illusion of traveling to the world of vampires.
And she is the vampire's food tonight.
"This room is gloomy, like" Feeling that the next words are unlucky, Xu Xingguang stopped in time.
Huo Wen'an continued for her: "It's like living in an ancient tomb, isn't it?"
"That's what you said."
Huo Wen'an told Xu Xingguang: "According to the old man, the buildings here were not originally in this style, but my great-grandfather didn't know what stimulated him, so he insisted on pushing down the original buildings and rebuilding this palace."
Huo Wen'an said: "Not long after the palace was built, he died suddenly. He was only 30 years old when he died. Originally, all the direct descendants of the Huo family lived here, but later they disliked the eerie and weird place, and everyone moved out."
"Until now, only the helm needs to live here."
This was also the reason why Huo Wen'an lived alone in this gloomy palace.
"If your great-grandfather is not dead, how old is this year?" Xu Xingguang was curious about what stimulated that old ancestor, and his taste and aesthetics became so unusual.
"About 120 years old. He gave birth to my grandfather at the age of 28. My grandfather passed away when he was only two years old. My grandfather had a rough childhood. Later, in order to seize power, he had to marry my grandmother."
Although Huo Canghai's methods are cruel and ruthless, he is not without conscience. He relied on the support of his wife's family to successfully win the helm.Although he didn't love Huo Wen'an's grandma, he never did anything wrong to Huo Wen'an's grandma.
Compared to those scumbags who kick away their wives once they gain power, Huo Canghai can be regarded as a responsible man.
Xu Xingguang said suddenly: "Then your great-grandfather is only a few years older than my grandfather."
"You mean, if your grandfather is still alive, he will be more than 100 years old this year?" Thinking of Mo Yinshu's age, Huo Wen'an said incredulously: "If Aunt Mo is alive, she should be only 45 years old this year. If you do this calculation, you Grandpa only had Aunt Mo when he was in his 70s?"
is it possible?
Like talk?
Huo Wen'an knew that some men in their 60s were still fertile, but this was the first time he heard that an old man in his 80s and [-]s was still fertile.
"You made a mistake." Xu Xingguang explained: "My mother is not my grandfather's biological daughter. According to my mother, my grandfather should have been kicked out by the family. He never married in his life, and my mother is his adopted daughter. .”
"However, my grandfather's physical fitness is quite good. The last time I saw him was when I was 13 years old. At that time, he was already a hundred years old. He could still eat and drink, and his teeth were full of teeth. But it's a pity , He had an accident while fishing, we did not find his body, but picked up one of his cloth shoes on the river slope."
Huo Wen'an suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."
Seeing that Huo Wen'an's face turned pale, Zheng Lie reminded Huo Wen'an to go to rest.Xu Xingguang also felt that Huo Wenan should rest more, so he said, "Which floor is your room on, I'll take you there to rest."
"The third floor."
"Let's go then."
After sending Huo Wen'an into the room, Xu Xingguang was stimulated by the festive joy on the bed.
"This..." she reminded Huo Wen'an: "Today is not our wedding night."
"It's okay, in my heart, you are my wife." Huo Wen'an asked Xu Xingguang: "Do you want to lie down with me for a while? With such a festive quilt, it's not good for me to sleep alone."
"That's fine."
The bed was wide enough for two to lie side by side, and room for two or three more children.
Huo Wen'an's body was really weak, and he didn't have the energy to think about those scenes that were not suitable for children. Soon after lying down, his breathing became even and long.
Xu Xingguang helped him cover the quilt, got out of bed softly, and planned to take a good look at the old house of the Huo family.
There must be many stories hidden in an old house like this. Xu Xingguang is very interested in the history of the Huo family.
When Uncle Xia learned that Xu Xingguang was going to visit the house, he said, "This house is too big, with a total of 128 rooms. Ms. Xu may not be familiar with it for the first time, so let me go with you."
Xu Xingguang thought the same way, "Then it will be troublesome."
"It's my duty."
Uncle Xia took a lamp and walked with Xu Xingguang to the long corridor. He told Xu Xingguang: "The lighting in this room is not very good. Even in the daytime, when the curtains are opened, the light is very dark. I took light, so that it is convenient for Miss Xu to visit."
"it is good."
They first visited the first floor. After the visit, they stood on the connecting platform from the first floor to the second floor and the basement. Uncle Xia told Xu Xingguang: "The basement is the activity area for the helm. Under normal circumstances, without his permission, we You can't go in."
But thinking of Xu Xingguang's special status, Uncle Xia didn't dare to stop Xu Xingguang, so he said, "If Ms. Xu wants to visit, then you have to go alone."
Xu Xingguang didn't want to make things difficult for others, so he said empathetically, "Then wait until he recovers and he has a chance before going."
She will stay in Shenyin Island for a long time, and return to the mainland after the inspection work at the research institute is over.
"That's good." Xiahou secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
He took Xu Xingguang around the second floor, and noticed that Xu Xingguang had been staring at the door at the end of the corridor, so he told Xu Xingguang: "Behind that door is the corridor leading to the east building and the building behind it. Next to it is the place where the old helm and his father used to live, if Miss Xu wants to visit, that's fine too."
"It's just that no one lives there, and it may not be comfortable to stay for a long time."
Although the servants go there to clean it every day, the magnetic field is a bit mysterious in a room where no one lives.
Even Uncle Xia usually wouldn't go there alone.
Xu Xingguang stared at the gate that separated the corridor from the other two buildings, and was really interested. "If Uncle Xia is not busy, just accompany me to have a look."
"I'm not busy, then we'll go there now."
Uncle Xia opened the door, took Xu Xingguang through the long corridor, and said as he walked, "Actually, there is nothing to see here. The furniture was made by the old helm father when he was alive. If you really want to live in it, you have to repair it." some."
"But no one comes to live now. Even if it's a family banquet, everyone just eats on the first floor and then goes back. The most lively time on our island every year is the days before and after the sacrificial festival. But those Children who come from afar, would rather live in the staff dormitory than come here.”
As for the reason, Uncle Xia didn't need to say it clearly, Xu Xingguang also knew it.
After the two briefly visited the East Building, it was time for lunch.
Uncle Xia wanted to go back, but seeing that Xu Xingguang was still not satisfied, he said: "There is nothing else in the building behind, just some old photos hanging there."
Uncle Xia told Xu Xingguang: "In the few months before the old helm's father passed away, he kept himself locked in that room, staring at the photos in a daze.
Uncle Xia said this because he wanted to dispel Xu Xingguang's curiosity.
But Xu Xingguang became very curious about this.
"An old photo? Then I really want to see it."
Although Uncle Xia was helpless, he could only accompany Xu Xingguang to look at those old photos.
The building behind, because of the dim light and humid air, looked even more eerie.The footsteps of Xu Xingguang and Uncle Xia sounded on the first floor, but they could echo to the third floor.
As soon as Uncle Xia got older, he still felt hairy.
But Xu Xingguang's footsteps were not slow at all, and he was very bold.
Uncle Xia admired Xu Xingguang.
Although the girl is young, she is quite courageous.
That's right, the girl who can take the helm and fall in love with them is a little white rabbit?
"It's here." Xu Xingguang saw the photos Uncle Xia mentioned.
Those photos were posted all over the corridor on the first floor, extending to the deserted garden at the end of the corridor.There are not many photos, and they are posted every one meter. The characters and scenery in the photos have been mottled and distorted due to the age.
Many photos were blurred, Xu Xingguang looked at those old photos one by one, and finally, she stopped in front of a photo of a plant.
Seeing Xu Xingguang stop, Uncle Xia glanced at the photo curiously, but he didn't recognize what was in the photo. "Miss Xu, what's wrong with this photo?"
Xu Xingguang said, "It's the Xingyun Worm."
"What is that?" Uncle Xia was confused, he had never heard of it.
Xu Xingguang shook his head and explained: "The Xingyun Worm is a creature that looks like a grass plant. This creature has variability."
But what Xu Xingguang didn't tell Uncle Xia was that among the many murderous genes of the corpse centipede, there was the gene of the star cloud insect.
Strictly speaking, the star cloud worm is an indispensable thing for cultivating the corpse centipede, because only it has variability!
