The heavens began with Huo Yuanjia

Chapter 8
"This is Jinmen, it's not what I imagined!"

Of course it is different, in fact even Li Yong himself has forgotten, after all he has also stayed in this world for two years, some impressions are almost blurred.

He thought he could see the traditional Tianjin Guard, but the fact is that this place has been invaded by foreigners, there are unfamiliar faces everywhere on the street, and even Ah San's patrol team.

You can see a Chinese woman in a cheongsam walking arm in arm with a foreigner in a suit and leather shoes; you can also see a boy in a bunt nodding and bowing to meet two people in foreign skirts and slanted flower hats, A foreign woman holding a small paper fan and shaking it quickly.

Some of the signboards on both sides of the road are written in foreign languages, and some are in German and Japanese...

Huo Yuanjia also looked blank, because he was not like this when he left.

But Li Yong had already reacted at this time, knowing that this was after the Eight-Nation Allied Forces invaded China, thinking that Huo Yuanjia had just happened to be in time, and just missed this event. It has been three years since he came back, and this place has already had earth-shaking events. Variety.

Huo Yuanjia left by boat before, but of course he brought Li Yong back by boat now, but when he got off the boat at the pier, what he saw felt like another world.

In that mountain village, it was really isolated from the world, and they didn't know that the outside world had changed.

"Master, where are we going next?" Li Yong looked at the road ahead, a little worried.

Although he had the impression that Huo Yuanjia had found a home, but he didn't know if his arrival would change anything.

"First... let's go and talk..."

Huo Yuanjia frowned slightly as he said.

Now he could only go in based on his impression, leading Li Yong through the vaguely familiar pier, and then came to the town.

Fortunately, he can still remember some buildings and retain a certain original appearance, so that he won't be blinded by them.

However, there are many new buildings around, which he has never seen before, and vehicles shuttle back and forth.

Although there are cars now, but they haven't been popularized yet. Naturally, horse-drawn carriages are mainly used here, and camels are used to carry goods, as if they had seen them on the pier before.

"Master, be careful!" At this moment, Li Yong noticed that the car next to him was approaching, and quickly grabbed Huo Yuanjia.

The two hurriedly hid aside, and almost collided with the people behind them.

Looking back, it was a beggar.

Opposite was a restaurant, and there was a foreigner who was cursing at this side. Judging by the flushed face, he probably drank a lot, but was dragged away by his companion in the end.

This beggar was much thinner than the previous Li Yong, so they were fine when he bumped into two people, but he was knocked down to the ground.

Li Yong hurried forward to help him up, looking at the vicissitudes and old face under the big-brimmed hat.

But after standing up, he smiled and patted his body, but he didn't care, but when he turned around and saw Huo Yuanjia, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Huo Yuanjia! The number one Huo Yuanjia in Jinmen! The number one Huo Yuanjia in Jinmen!"

The old beggar recognized Huo Yuanjia at a glance, and Li Yong recognized the accent immediately. This is the one who shouted "Huo Yuanjia, you are the number one in Jinmen", "Just today! Just here Today" beggars.

He used to play tricks, but now when he saw Jig himself, he felt a burst of embarrassment.

Of course, Huo Yuanjia also recognized this "old man". He has experienced a lot of ups and downs. Although he has not yet reached the age of forty, Huo Yuanjia is already graying at the temples, and he looks the same old but looks the same. For an old friend, I had mixed feelings in my heart for a while.

Seeing this, Li Yong deliberately smiled and said, "Master, what he said is true? I didn't expect you to be so good outside, and you are actually number one here!"

Huo Yuanjia didn't know how many previous pictures flashed before his eyes, until the old beggar ran away while muttering, and then heard Li Yong's words, he came back to his senses, and said with a faint smile: "Then It's all in the past..."

Li Yong knew that although he had been able to open his heart to face the past, he was definitely not far away from mentioning those things, so he wisely skipped the answer.

Then the two went around for a while, came to an alley again, and stopped at one place.

Li Yong looked up at the dilapidated Huo house and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is this the master's home?"

Huo Yuanjia didn't answer him this time, but went up to knock on the door silently.

But after a while, someone came to open the door, but it was an old man with gray hair. Huo Yuanjia obviously recognized him at a glance, and called out: "Uncle Laifu..."

"Young...Young Master..." Laifu, the butler of the Huo Mansion, also had cloudy eyes. It took him a long time to confirm Huo Yuanjia's identity, and he became excited immediately.

But when he welcomed the two of them inside, he became guilty again, "I'm sorry, young master, I didn't help you guard this family business."

In fact, when I entered here, I found that apart from the dilapidated furniture, the walls and beams were also damaged, and I guess there was no money to renovate it, everything else seemed to be in good condition.

Of course, this is in Li Yong's view, but Huo Yuanjia can see that there are obviously a lot of missing things, many of which are related to his memory, so the loss in his eyes cannot be concealed.

"Master, this is..."

As Huo Yuanjia walked towards the ancestral house, he said casually: "This is my new recruit, you can just call him Zhuzi."

Laifu nodded at Li Yong, and Li Yong grinned.

Then Laifu said to the past: "Master, after you left, those creditors came to collect the debt every day, and all the valuable things in the house were taken to pay off the debt one by one. Even this ancestral house is almost impossible to keep.

"Later, there was still a person who asked someone to send a bag of money... I thought about it, it should be Master Nong who did this?"

Young Master Nong is that Nong Jinsun.

When Li Yong heard this name, his heart moved.

Not to mention Huo Yuanjia, his expression was inexplicably stagnant, and after a while he asked: "Is... is he okay?"

Lai Fu smiled and said: "Master Nong is still running the Guyue Tower. He has a good temper, and he is still flourishing when foreigners come."

Huo Yuanjia nodded silently, then continued to walk in.

Li Yong followed and was quite surprised when he saw the life and death certificates hanging all over the wall, "Master, are all these life and death certificates yours?"

This is not only a statue of life and death, but also a wall of honor, because only those who win can hang this statue of life and death for exhibition.

And so many life and death conditions, it shows that Huo Yuanjia was crazy in martial arts when he was young and vigorous.

This "No. [-] in Jinmen" is really real!
Of course, there seems to be one missing.

That life and death certificate with Master Qin!
Huo Yuanjia was silent, but he went forward, took off the life and death signs one by one, then turned his head and threw them into the stove to burn them.

Lai Fu asked: "Master, you..."

Huo Yuanjia shook his head and said: "I don't need them anymore, I miss my father and mother, and I don't want to see these things again."

Lai Fu wanted to say something more, but Li Yong stepped forward to help take down the remaining certificates of life and death, and then said: "Master, I will do this, you can rest for a while."

Seeing him like this, Huo Yuanjia seemed to be in a slightly better mood, pointing at him and jokingly said: "You, you still know how to flatter me at this time."

Li Yong smiled and said: "You are my master, this is called a disciple who does his best, what are you talking about flattering?"

Huo Yuanjia is too lazy to argue with him, since he wants to do it, let him do it, and it happens that he is going to do something else.

Seeing that he seemed to be going out, Li Yong asked, "Master, are you going to find that young master?"

"Do you know who he is?"

Li Yong shook his head and said: "I don't know, but from what you said, I feel that the young farmer must have a good relationship with the master, right?"

Huo Yuanjia gave a bitter smile and didn't speak, but Uncle Laifu hesitated to speak.
