The metaphysical mother returns, and the villain son stands at attention

Chapter 272 Longevity Village

An hour later, when Gu Qingyin was half full, Zhang Qiuyan pushed open the door of the private room and walked in hurriedly.

At that time, Gu Qingyin's lips were red from the spicy hot pot, and her face was rosy, and she looked extremely healthy.

Zhang Qiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you're okay." She looked guilty, "I really forgot about it yesterday. I was so used to it that I didn't take it seriously. I'm really sorry."

Gu Qingyin waved her hands and said, "It's okay. Nothing serious happened to me. I just need to take a rest."

Huo Yunjing kept a sullen face and said nothing, but his aura was clearly displeased.

Huo Xingchen's brows were also furrowed, but his mother said she didn't mind. He had no right to blame her and could only sulk.

But Master Huo didn't have so many concerns. He said coldly: "If you can forget to remind me of such an important matter, who will trust you to bring new masters into the association in the future?"

Zhang Qiuyan’s face turned pale and she opened her mouth as if she wanted to explain, but in the end she only said "I'm sorry".

Master Huo Tian had a cold face and said nothing.

Gu Qingyin smiled and tried to smooth things over. "It's okay. It's easy to overlook things when you're busy. It's not a big deal. Just rest for two days and you'll be fine."

Zhang Qiuyan smiled, but the look in her eyes was still very sad.

Not long after, the few people dispersed and went back to their homes.

Huo Yunjing asked Gu Qingyin: "Are you not going to pursue this anymore?"

Gu Qingyin snorted and laughed, "How can I hold him accountable? He said he forgot, can I still insist that he clearly remembered and did it on purpose? Just be more careful next time."

"But then again, with the current situation of the formation, I can shorten the time I spend reading!" A hint of joy appeared in Gu Qingyin's eyes.

Huo Yunjing replied indifferently, "The time it takes to go home has been extended again."

Gu Qingyin sighed, "Can't you let me be happy for a little longer?"

Huo Yunjing chuckled, "It doesn't matter, I'm here with you anyway."

"And me!" Huo Xingchen stuck his head out, unwilling to be ignored.

Gu Qingyin fell asleep before they got home. Huo Yunjing didn't call her and carried her home.

Huo Xingchen was very sensible and pressed the elevator button and opened the door along the way, moving very carefully for fear of waking up his mother.

In fact, Gu Qingyin slept very deeply because of the loss of soul power, the kind that she might not wake up even if there was thunder. When she opened her eyes again, it was noon the next day. The feeling of being in a fuzzy head was gone, but she was still a little tired.

Just as I was about to leave the bedroom after washing up, Huo Yunjing pushed the door open and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Much better." Gu Qingyin pressed her hand to her stomach and looked eagerly, "I'm hungry."

Huo Yunjing held her hand and walked out, "The food is warm and you can eat it right away."

Gu Qingyin curled her eyes, sat at the dining table and drank a bowl of soup before she remembered to ask, "Where's Xingchen?"

"He's drawing talismans in the study." Huo Yunjing helped her pick out fish bones. "He used up a lot of talismans during his two trips out, and he said he wanted to replenish the stock."

Gu Qingyin nodded, glanced towards the study, and asked in a low voice: "His hands are so small now, can he draw well?"

Huo Yunjing smiled, "It's not bad. Although it's not as good as before, it can still be used."

Gu Qingyin also smiled and asked, "Have you chosen the next haunted place to go?"

Huo Yunjing put the fish meat into her bowl and said, "I found it. It's a little far away. It's a ghost village."

"Hmm?" Gu Qingyin showed some interest. "What kind?" "There are no living people in the whole village. It is quiet during the day, but smoke rises after the sun sets. I suspect that the ghosts of the whole village are trapped in the body." Huo Yunjing had never seen such a situation before. "We need to go and see for details."

Gu Qingyin raised her eyebrows, "I'll go with you."

"Okay." Huo Yunjing picked another piece of fish and said, "Let's eat first."

After resting at home for another day, Gu Qingyin felt that she had almost recovered, so the family of three set off on the journey, and halfway there they met up with Master Huo Tian, who was in charge of supervision.

The village wasn't far away, and it only took seven or eight hours to drive there. It was sunset when they arrived, and there was smoke rising from the village. It looked very normal.

"Longevity Village." Gu Qingyin rubbed his chin, "This name has a good meaning."

Huo Yunjing drove the car directly into the village. The village was full of dirt roads with many potholes. The car swayed back and forth, and soon made Gu Qingyin carsick.

"Stop, stop, stop. I'm going to throw up."

Huo Yunjing quickly stopped the car, and Gu Qingyin opened the door, rushed out, squatted on the side of the road and retched.

After drawing a bottle of water, Huo Yunjing followed and patted her back gently, "Are you feeling better? Drink some water."

Gu Qingyin rinsed her mouth and drank a few more sips before she suppressed the nausea. She waved her hand and said, "Maybe my body hasn't recovered yet. I don't usually get carsick."

Huo Yunjing pursed his lips with a little regret. He shouldn't have brought her along.

Gu Qingyin saw it and smiled at him with red eyes, "It's okay, you will be fine after a good sleep."

"Lemon candy, it will make you feel better if you hold it in your mouth."

Gu Qingyin turned her head and looked over, only to find that Master Huo Tian had also come down, and behind him Huo Xingchen was also leaning on the window and looking at her with concern.

Gu Qingyin took the candy and couldn't help laughing, "It's really okay, I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."

Huo Yunjing glanced at the candy, then turned around and waved to Huo Xingchen, asking him to get out of the car. "Wait here for a while. I'll find a place to park."

Gu Qingyin found a big rock to sit on, unwrapped the candy and put it in her mouth. The sour taste of lemon exploded in her mouth, and she squinted her eyes, and the remaining nausea was suppressed.

Before Huo Yunjing came back, a few children came running over with laughter in the distance. When they saw them, they stopped cautiously and looked at them suspiciously.

Gu Qingyin waved at them with a smile.

Some children didn't dare to go over and even stepped back.

Gu Qingyin sighed secretly, then poked Huo Xingchen inconspicuously, "Son, come on!"

Huo Xingchen was speechless, wondering if he could stop speaking in such a tone of voice as if he was letting the dogs out. However, he still obediently moved closer to the kids.

You may not notice it when you just look at it, but when Huo Xingchen is in the same frame with a few children, the difference becomes apparent.

Those children were also dressed neatly and cleanly, but their skin was obviously darker, and there were two light highland red spots on their faces.

Huo Xingchen, on the other hand, was extremely fair and tender. She wore a simple T-shirt and jeans, and a baseball cap. With her delicate and beautiful facial features, she looked like a child model that had walked out of a magazine.

Those rural kids had never seen such a beautiful girl of their own age before, and their eyes were wide open.

"Doll!" A little girl who was not much older than Huo Xingchen pointed at Huo Xingchen and shouted, her eyes full of love.

Gu Qingyin smiled upon seeing this, she never expected that Huo Xingchen would one day sell out her body to get information.

Huo Xingchen smiled very beautifully, and spoke in a childish but gentlemanly voice, "Hello, my name is Huo Xingchen, can I play with you?"
