523. Chapter 523: Celebrating the New Year in Blackhorn

When Zijing just picked up Yun Xiao and turned around to go back, she heard Yun Xiao shouting happily, which made Zijing very sad.

Xiaoxiao and Brother Xiao Yan had just recognized each other, and Brother Xiao Yan died unexpectedly, and Xiaoxiao didn't know about this yet.

As for the father that Yun Xiao mentioned, Zijing didn't even look at it, and naturally thought that she was talking about the statue.

"Xiaoxiao." Zijing was in great grief, but didn't know what to say, so she could only force a smile and said: "Xiaoxiao, we should go back, your mother is still waiting for us."

"Daddy wants to go back with us!"

Zijing was slightly stunned when she heard this sentence that didn't sound like it was said to him, and the corners of her mouth twitched.

How can such a big statue be brought back?

However, at this moment, Yun Xiao in her arms shouted again.

"Daddy! Xiaoxiao is here! Ah! Sister Ziyan is here too!"

Huh?

Why does it sound like seeing a real person.

Zijing suddenly felt something was wrong, and turned her head suddenly. She saw Xiao Yan walking quickly here, and her expression was suddenly sluggish.

Brother Xiao Yan? !

"Daddy!"

Yun Xiao broke free from Zi Jing's embrace and ran towards Xiao Yan happily, while Zi Yan on Xiao Yan's shoulder flipped over and jumped down, hugging Yun Xiao who was running towards Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Xiao! Long time no see!"

"Sister Zi Yan!"

Being stopped by Zi Yan, Yun Xiao was not angry, but waved her arms happily. Zi Yan also looked at this little sister who she hadn't seen for a year with great curiosity.

At this time, Xiao Yan came over, stood behind Zi Yan and bent down slightly, and took Yun Xiao from Zi Yan's hands into his arms. Yun Xiao put his arms around Xiao Yan's neck, with a happy smile on his face.

"Daddy, Xiao Xiao misses you so much."

"Yeah, Daddy misses Xiao Xiao too."

Xiao Yan rubbed Yun Xiao's pink face affectionately, and then looked at Zi Jing who was walking over with a look of astonishment on her face.

"Zijing, long time no see."

"Brother Xiao Yan, you've already..."

Zijing's eyes were full of disbelief, and Xiao Yan smiled slightly.

"Well, it's a long story, and I encountered a lot of things."

After getting Xiao Yan's response, Zijing gradually came back to her senses, and accepted the fact that Xiao Yan was still alive. She was excited, and then gradually calmed down, showing a relieved smile.

As long as she can be alive, it's the best. As for the process, it doesn't matter.

"Zijing, why did you and Xiaoxiao come to the Black Horn Region?"

Xiao Yan asked, Zijing was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, and joy appeared on her face.

"Brother Xiao Yan, it's just right! Everyone came to the Black Horn Region to celebrate the New Year. I was just about to take Xiaoxiao back. You should go with me. Everyone will be very happy!"

Come to the Black Horn Region to celebrate the New Year?

Xiao Yan suddenly stopped. He thought Mei'er and the others had gone back, but it turned out that other people came.

This is also good, just to let everyone know that I am still alive.

Suddenly Xiao Yan thought of something, looked at Yun Xiao in his arms, and then looked at Cai Lin behind him, his face couldn't help but look a little ugly, lowered his head and asked Zi Jing in a deep voice.

"Who do you think is here?"

"Everyone, Uncle Xiao Zhan, Sister Xiao Jing, Sister Xiao Li, my mother, and many, many people, Aunt Yun Yun is here too."

"."

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's already ugly face became even uglier.

Although he would never evade his responsibilities, he also knew that he would have to face it sooner or later. Isn't it a bit too soon to face it? He hasn't prepared himself mentally.

(This is God's punishment for you, you should take it well.)

Xiao Yixian laughed and teased in her heart, which made Xiao Yan silent.

Then she gritted her teeth and looked at Zi Jing.

"Then let's go, give father and others a surprise, I also happen to have something important to say."

"Oh"

Zi Jing looked at Xiao Yan's face as if he was facing a great enemy, although she didn't know why, but she nodded and led Xiao Yan and others in one direction.

On the road, Cai Lin walked beside Xiao Yan, glanced at Yun Xiao in Xiao Yan's arms, and looked at Xiao Yan's faint question.

"So, how are you going to tell her?"

"Tell the truth, there will be no concealment." Xiao Yan responded softly, without any hesitation, looking at Cai Lin seriously, "I will take the responsibility I should take, and I will never run away."

"."

Cai Lin narrowed her eyes slightly, and her golden snake pupils flickered slightly.

She originally thought that if Xiao Yan couldn't say this, she would tell Yun Yun herself.

But seeing Xiao Yan's determination, it seems that it is not necessary. Cai Lin smiled slightly and followed Xiao Yan silently.

There were more than a dozen tables of people sitting in the courtyard of the Evil Prison Headquarters. The courtyard was full of lanterns and the tables were full of delicious dishes. It should be a festive atmosphere.

However, the actual situation was a bit boring and panic. Under the festive atmosphere, there was a deep haze.

At the main table, Xiao Zhan's face was full of sadness. He drank a glass of strong liquor, and his eyes were full of pain.

He lost his wife in middle age, and his son in old age. What sins did he commit in his life that God would punish him like this?

"Master Yun, I'm sorry." Xiao Zhan looked at Yun Yun who was sitting across the table, his eyes full of guilt. "That stinky boy in my family has always been so troublesome. You have been wronged for two years. After finally recognizing each other, this boy left forever."

As he said this, Xiao Zhan poured another glass of wine and poured it directly into his throat without even looking at it.

I had received a letter from Xiao Jing earlier, saying that Xiao Yan and Yun Yun had already recognized each other. I thought that I would be able to see my son and his daughter-in-law come home to see me during the Chinese New Year this year. But now my daughter-in-law and granddaughter are back, but my son will never come back.

"Dad, drink less."

Xiao Jing, who was sitting next to Xiao Zhan, was also very upset. As soon as he opened his mouth to comfort him, Yun Shan, who was sitting next to Yun Yun, stopped him.

"Let your father drink. The pain of losing a son cannot be erased by others' words."

"."

Xiao Jing was silent, without nodding, but he did not stop him. Xiao Li was full of grief, but he still tried his best to show calmness, looking at Yun Yun and speaking slowly.

"Yun Yun, even if Xiao Yan is gone, you and Xiao Xiao are also members of the Xiao family. If you have any trouble in the future, just speak up and we will do our best to help you."

".Thank you, second sister."

Yun Yun's eyes were also filled with pain, but she still showed a forced smile.

Zi Yun on the other side said nothing, just drank the wine silently, and didn't even have the mood to eat the meat on the table.

Not only this table, but other tables were also shrouded in a sad atmosphere, and the table of the great elder was the worst.

His most beloved granddaughter Xiao Yu had been missing for a whole year, and there was no news until now, and no one knew whether she was alive or dead.

He really couldn't figure it out, why did the Soul Palace want to capture his granddaughter? What did Xiao Yu do to provoke them?

Xiao Mei and Xiao Ning were also picking their chopsticks with a depressed look on their faces. Even Xiao Mei didn't care about Qing Lin's attitude this year, which showed how depressed she was at this time. You know, in previous years, she wanted to sleep with Qing Lin when she saw him.

Yao Yue looked at her sister's extremely sad eyes, and she couldn't say some of the scolding words that her great grandfather asked her to bring because Yao Ye ran away from home secretly and stayed in the Black Horn Region for a whole year.

Hu Jia and other classmates of Xiao Yan were also unhappy. They felt deeply guilty about Xiao Yan's death. If they hadn't proposed to go to the inner courtyard to practice, Xiao Yan might not have died.

Although they knew that it was not their fault, they still couldn't get over the hurdle in their hearts. They felt as if they had killed Xiao Yan with their own hands.

Ya Fei looked at the depressed atmosphere in the field and Hai Bodong who was also listless beside her, and sighed deeply helplessly.

Imagine that in the past, the New Year has always been the most festive day for the Xiao family. How could it be like this?

At the main table, Yun Yun was extremely sad, and at the same time, she was thinking about another thing.

That is, she has not told Xiaoxiao about Xiao Yan's death until now. The child finally recognized her father. After Xiao Yan left, she asked her father every day when he would come back. How could she tell her the truth?

"Xiao Yan is not dead, and Her Majesty the Queen is not dead! I believe they are definitely still alive!" Yue Mei put down the wine glass, with wine stains on the corners of her mouth, and roared in resentment: "We have always been looking forward to Her Majesty the Queen leading the Snake People forever. How could Her Majesty the Queen die like this?!"

Everyone knew that Yue Mei's words were just drunken words that she was unwilling to accept the facts. No one took it seriously, but no one refuted it.

They all hoped that Yue Mei's words were true, but the reality was so real and so painful.

Xiao Yu looked at Yun Yun and asked softly.

"Yun Yun, where is Xiaoxiao?"

Yun Yun did not speak, and Zi Yun beside her answered for her.

"Just ran out to play, don't worry, my son is with her."

Just then, Xiaoxiao's excited voice came from outside the yard.

"Mother! Daddy and I are back!"

Yun Yun looked at the gate of the courtyard after hearing the voice, her eyes still filled with sorrow, and she didn't react for a while.

Xiao Xiao is back, with her daddy? !

Yun Yun's pupils suddenly shrank, and she stood up abruptly. Others also reacted one after another, and Xiao Zhan looked at the gate of the courtyard with trembling eyes.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Zi Jing walked into the courtyard first, followed by Zi Yan, and then Xiao Yan holding Yun Xiao, and Cai Lin following behind him.

"Yan'er!"

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Jing were the first to come to their senses. In a few blinks, they came to Xiao Yan, reached out and touched Xiao Yan's body to make sure they were not dreaming. Xiao Zhan was even more tearful, looking at Xiao Yan excitedly.

"Yan'er. It's really you, you're still alive"

Looking at Xiao Zhan in front of him, who seemed to have aged several years, the graying temples and many more wrinkles made Xiao Yan's eyes sore, and then he smiled while holding back tears.

"Father, I'm back."

"I'm sorry for making you worry." (End of this chapter)
