Huangfu Bin subconsciously touched his head, which was broken by his own son, and said, "It's nothing, I just bumped into it accidentally. Why are you here?"
Hong Yu said, "I heard about what happened here and rushed over. Is he okay?"
Huangfu Bin looked at Huangfu Xiong and said lovingly, "It's okay. I almost got scared to death when I saw him a few days ago. Now that he's been resting for a few days, his complexion is somewhat better."
Seeing that Huangfu Xiong's breathing was a little unstable, but his pulse was stable, Hong Yu asked carefully, "Did the medicine really work?"
Huangfu Bin nodded and said, "I guess so, but the aftereffects are too strong and the sequelae cannot be controlled for the time being. Moreover, if he has already become a living dead, this medicine will be useless."
Hong Yu said, "Saving one person means saving one less sin. I didn't expect that he would succeed in such a short time."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person sleeping on the bed, who knew what kind of dream he had, suddenly started to cry and was talking in his sleep, which Hong Yu could not understand.
"He, what is he talking about?"
Huangfu Bin explained helplessly, "Alas, these past few days, whenever I fell asleep, I would half-heartedly call out the traitor's name. He treated the traitor as his own brother even though he was being used by others."
After hearing his words, Hong Yu finally understood that the person Huangfu Xiong had been talking about in his dream must be Huangfu Zhong. "We don't really know what happened between them. But this time, if he hadn't drugged that girl, maybe we wouldn't even have this chance."
After saying that, Hong Yu suddenly remembered that Huangfu Bin had told him before that someone in the black market was collecting puppet threads in large quantities. It was probably related to the matter of the living dead. He hurriedly asked, "How is the investigation into the puppet threads going?"
He had originally planned to wait until Huangfu Xiong was better, and he was sending a message to Hong Yu. Now that she was here, Huangfu Bin would definitely not hide anything from her: "Your uncle Ning has made some progress. The puppet threads from the black market have finally gathered in one place - Qinghe County."
Hong Yu frowned slightly and said, "I heard that Xiahou Qing has been staying in Qinghe County recently. I just don't know if it's possible to find out his exact location."
The problem Hong Yu was worried about was exactly what Huangfu Bin cared about the least. Although the Huangfu family didn't often travel around the martial arts world, they were still the most prominent family in the world for thousands of years. They naturally had their own ways, but they just didn't know about them.
Putting aside other things, since this matter had been handed over to Huangfu Ning, he had no intention of refusing. It wasn't his turn to worry about it. "Don't worry, as long as we know the general direction, our family has plenty of ways to deal with it. Besides, who is in charge of this matter? That's your Uncle Ning. He knows far more than you know."
Hong Yu was slightly taken aback by Huangfu Bin's unconcerned expression, and then speculated, "Could it be that you brought the sable with you?"
Huangfu Bin nodded slightly and said, "After all, this is a big deal, and the Patriarch has thought it through very carefully."
Strictly speaking, this sable is just a small pet raised by the owner of the house, but because it has been dealing with treasures in the warehouse for many years and is a small animal chosen by the owner of the house, it is extremely sensitive to the existence of puppet threads; as long as it is there, as long as Xiahou Qing and his group do not completely destroy all the puppet threads, they can rely on this cute little animal to find the place they want.
Hong Yu couldn't help but sigh, "After all, the old man is truly amazing. Now that I think about it, I should also shoulder some responsibility for this matter."
According to Hong Yu, the entire Huangfu family should bear the responsibility: "You are still a little girl who has not experienced the world. Besides, you like Shi Zairong so much, it is only natural that you will be confused by your concern."
Hong Yu glanced at the still unconscious Huangfu Xiong and said, "Thank you, Uncle Bin. I feel much better after hearing what you said."
Huangfu Bin gently patted the back of her hand and said lovingly, "I see you rushed here too. Go and rest for a while. He's still asleep now. When he wakes up, you can get to know each other better. You've been in the ancestral home for so many years. Apart from us elders and your cousins, you don't really know anyone else your age."
Hong Yu smiled and nodded. She used to think that knowing too many relatives would bring her too much unnecessary trouble. Now it seems that she was young and ignorant at the time, and she didn't know if she would have enough time to get to know everyone one by one from now on. "Well, Uncle Bin, you are still injured, so don't work too hard. As for Ah Xiong, Shi Zairong will make good arrangements."
Huangfu Bin said helplessly, "Alas, being a parent is a life of hard work. I'm afraid I can only worry less once he gets married and has a career."
Speaking of this, Hong Yu couldn't help but say something from the bottom of his heart: "My parents, I wish they were like you, Uncle Bin."
Growing up, Hong Yu, aside from the love her grandfather gave her, never seemed to have experienced a single moment of tenderness with her parents. Her parents seemed perpetually busy, and sometimes she wouldn't even see them for a year or two.
Especially at the New Year's Eve family dinner, watching every family get together, Hong Yu felt an indescribable sadness and envy. She even kept asking her grandfather what her parents were busy with, why they didn't care about her at all. Sometimes, when she felt extremely depressed, she would loudly question her grandfather, asking him if they hated her, why didn't they strangle her at birth, or send her away, or even never let her be born in the first place.
Of course, such moments of excitement were rare. Every time she said these words, her grandfather would punish her by making her kneel in the ancestral hall for an entire night, copying countless stories and poems from ancient books about her parents' kindness. Even now, this knot still lingered deep within her heart, something she couldn't ignore.
Although Huangfu Bin was not qualified to live in the ancestral home, he knew a little about the affairs of the Hongyu family. In such a large family, there were some things that could not be concealed even if they wanted to. "Silly child, your parents did so much for you. It's just that they didn't tell you, and you didn't see it with your own eyes. Just take the bloodthirsty Gu in your hand as an example. They waited outside without food or water for as long as you stayed in there. They didn't hide until they saw you come out safely. They don't like interacting with people, and they don't know how to express their emotions."
