Chapter 168 Bloody Shura Field
After a short rest, the Huo Gang guards began to dig a pit on a flat area in the forest to bury Yu Yangji and the Yu family guards.
Yu Yangji died, and the Yu family completely fell. The Huo Gang finally won.
There will be no more fighting, killing, and bloodshed from now on - almost everyone thinks so except Huo Gannian.
However, the "ending" of this victory seemed a little too bland, with neither cheering and jubilation, nor the intense excitement after a great battle.
Everyone was very calm, until they saw handfuls of yellow earth covering Yu Yangji, and then they seemed to find a little joy of being a "winner".
Huo Gannian finally had time to stop and take a good look at Yun Chen, but unfortunately there were so many people around, all staring at him, so he could only restrain his tone and actions and order his guards to stand in a row.
He walked up to Ye Yan, who was the first one. The latter grinned and whispered:
"Master, you don't have to pretend here."
Huo Gannian nodded, then walked to the next Hua Jue, looked him up and down, and said indifferently, "Thank you for your hard work."
Hua Jue took a step back and looked Huo Gannian up and down with the same eyes as if he were looking at a monkey. His eyes were wide open and he asked a soul-searching question:
"Brother, what kind of monster possessed you in the woods?"
Huo Gannian rolled his eyes slightly and walked towards Buyan again.
Bu Yan had already prepared a lot of words to take credit for his hard work, but as soon as he opened his mouth to say two words, Huo Gannian immediately passed him and stood in front of Yun Chen.
As soon as he saw Yun Chen, Huo Gannian suddenly felt that all the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, all the haze was gone, and the whole world was full of sunshine.
He couldn't even control himself from continuing to be the usual cold-faced and stern young master, and couldn't help but want to raise his lips.
He touched her head, put his arms around her shoulders, took her hand, looked her up and down carefully for eight times, and asked gently:
"Are you tired? Are you hurt anywhere? Let me see your hands. Are they hurt from swinging the sword?"
Yun Chen shuddered and got goosebumps all over his body when he saw the terrifying looks from Hua Jue and Buyan as if they had seen a ghost.
Yun Chen then noticed from the corner of his eye that Huo Luyu was working hard with the guards to dig a hole to bury the person, but was secretly glancing at him from time to time. He quickly took a step back and distanced himself from Huo Gannian.
She said officially, "Thank you for your concern, young master. I am fine," but her eyes were staring in the direction of Huo Luyu, trying to convey her meaning to Huo Gannian.
Huo Gannian followed her gaze and saw the guards busy as usual, nothing special. He couldn't help but look at Yun Chen questioningly.
She had no choice but to try to keep her mouth still and lower her voice:
“Your sister…your sister…your sister!”
Huo Gannian touched his nose, still puzzled:
"Why are you scolding me?"
Finally, under the suggestion of Yun Chen's crazy eyes, Huo Gannian almost squeezed his eyes out, and finally noticed one of the "little guards" with a particularly thin figure and a black and gray face. The moment he looked at him, his eyes widened in shock.
He gritted his teeth and waved towards Huo Luyu:
"You! You! That's right! You! Come on! This young master has a very important errand for you! Come over here and talk!"
Under everyone's curious gaze, Huo Gannian frowned, grabbed the collar of the "little guard" like a chicken, and dragged him into the bushes nearby in three or two steps.
Soon, Huo Gannian's loud cursing was heard not far away, and the guards all looked over curiously.
There was no other way, Yun Chen could only bite the bullet and go over to mediate, which made Huo Gannian restrain himself a little, but he still lowered his voice and raged:
"Are you crazy? When we went out to enjoy the scenery? To buy rouge from Yuyangji?? Do you know how dangerous the journey was?? In so many life-threatening situations, who would care about you?!"
Huo Luyu was scolded to the point of tears, but he still stiffened his neck and said stubbornly: "I'm already here! Whatever you say!" Then he hid behind Yun Chen and shouted at Huo Gan in a protest:
"Don't worry about it! Yun Chen will protect me!"
Huo Gannian almost choked to death when he heard this. He was so angry that he immediately rushed over to grab Huo Luyu. Yun Chen hurried forward to stop him and comforted him kindly:
"Forget it, let's go back to Guying City and talk about it. We're out in the wilderness here, and the brothers are all listening. Don't let the Second Miss be exposed here. It's not good for her reputation."
Unexpectedly, after Yun Chen finished speaking, the brother and sister said in unison, "Reputation is bullshit!" and then started arguing with each other across her.
Huo Luyu has always been afraid of Huo Gannian and never dared to disobey her brother.
Now I don’t know what’s going on, maybe she’s been blinded by love, but every time Huo Gannian says something, she contradicts him, making Huo Gannian so angry that his forehead is buzzing.
"I'll punish you with my family punishment when I get back!"
"Kill me if you dare! Otherwise I will follow you!"
"Even if I don't punish you, I'll ask Dad to punish you! Just wait until we get back to Kyoto!"
"I've even seen people being killed! Am I still afraid of family rules? Humph!"
"Very impressive, heroine! Should I give you an award?"
Yun Chen stood between the quarreling brother and sister, looking up at the sky helplessly:
What kind of bloody Shura scene is this!
…
…
After burying Yu Yangji, the members of the Huo Gang began to turn back and head towards Guying City.
A relatively smooth road had been opened up when we came here, and since there was no urgent business at hand, the return journey was neither hurried nor slow, and we rested at night.
Because of Huo Luyu, Huo Gannian had to divide his men into three groups.
The first group was led by Ye Yan and Hua Jue to explore the way ahead, the second group was Huo Gannian and Yun Chen protecting Huo Luyu, and the remaining guards were led by Buyan as the third group to guard the rear.
The three groups of people were not far apart and could see each other's figures, but could not hear each other's voices.
Yun Chen seriously suspected that this was an arrangement made by Huo Gannian to make it easier to scold Huo Luyu.
Along the way, Yun Chen had Huo Gannian on his left and Huo Luyu on his right.
No matter whether she looked left or right, she would receive a look full of affection and a firm look that said, "Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut and I'll definitely keep the secret." The two of them would also have childish fights and quarrels across her from time to time.
Especially when Huo Luyu was not wearing makeup, she looked very similar to Huo Gannian, with the same face on both sides. Yun Chen was almost going crazy, feeling that he had never experienced such a disjointed scene in his life.
In order to take care of Huo Luyu's health, seeing a stream ahead and it was already evening, Huo Gannian ordered them to set up tents on the spot and spend the night before continuing their journey.
Perhaps relying on the fact that Huo Gannian didn't dare to do anything to him in front of so many people, Huo Luyu was quite excited. He glanced at Huo Gannian but didn't appreciate being taken care of.
Feeling that he couldn't afford to offend either of the brother and sister, Yun Chen actively went hunting with Ye Yan and only came back after taking a good breath.
She and Ye Yan distributed the hunted game to the guards, while she removed a deer leg and prepared to make dinner for the brother and sister.
Huo Luyu is now like Yun Chen's little tail. Wherever Yun Chen goes, she goes there. No matter what Yun Chen does, she watches from the side.
Seeing Yun Chen swaggering back carrying a deer leg, Huo Luyu smiled with a blushing face, and even clasped his hands together to applaud Yun Chen.
Yun Chen took a small knife, held the deer leg, and peeled and washed it by the stream. Huo Luyu followed him happily like a bird.
However, as he watched the blood slowly spread in the stream, Huo Luyu, who had been in high spirits, suddenly turned pale and ran to the side to retch.
Yun Chen knew that Huo Luyu had never seen anyone killed.
For a girl who grew up in seclusion, she will probably never see a dead person in her entire life.
But on the way to hunt down Yu Yangji, Huo Luyu saw too much blood and gore, which was far beyond her psychological endurance.
Yun Chen stopped and looked at Huo Luyu with some distress. Suddenly, he felt the knife in his hand being taken away. Huo Gannian took the deer leg and started working on it rather unfamiliarly. He said to her:
"I'll take care of this, you go take care of Luyu."
"Okay." Yun Chen washed his hands immediately and walked quickly towards Huo Luyu who was still retching. He didn't even look at Huo Gannian, who was so angry that he cut the deer leg into slices in a few seconds.
Yun Chen brought some clean water for Huo Luyu to rinse her mouth and patted her back gently.
Feeling better, Huo Luyu looked at Yun Chen apologetically:
"I'm sorry I always hold you back."
Now that she knew her identity as a woman, Yun Chen no longer pretended to be a man. She smiled comfortingly and, like an older sister caring for her younger sister, she straightened Huo Luyu's hair and said,
"It's alright. We protect our masters regardless of life or death, and uphold justice. Caring for and protecting others are the most basic responsibilities of guards like us. Second Miss, the young master was angry because he was worried about you, not because he thought you were a hindrance. He truly cares about your safety."
Huo Luyu lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly, "I know..."
That was enough to say. Yun Chen had never been a person who liked to preach. Seeing that Huo Luyu seemed very stubborn on the surface but actually understood things very well in his heart, she felt relieved.
But Huo Luyu still looked depressed. Yun Chen wanted to coax her, so he took some dogtail grass and a few plum blossoms, and with a flick of his fingers, he quickly made a wreath.
Huo Luyu put the wreath on her head, looking extremely happy, and kept looking at the stream.
Yun Chen had the chance to look at Huo Gannian, who was trying to chop the venison slices into shreds with a long face.
After making Huo Luyu happy, Yun Chen quickly built a fire and started roasting shredded venison, regardless of how cold Huo Gannian's face was.
After roasting, Yun Chen just took out the tenderest part of the meat when two pairs of hands immediately reached out to him.
Looking up, I saw two extremely similar faces and two pairs of equally eager eyes.
The brother and sister are like two hungry kittens.
