The surface of the lake sparkled. A couple sat at the stern of the boat, quietly looking at the lake.
A gentle breeze blew past, gently blowing a strand of her long black hair.
A man and a woman were leaning against each other. Gu Feng held his head and reminisced about the wonderful scene in the Seven Star Lu Royal Palace. Huo Xiuxiu leaned half of her body out of the stern of the boat and stretched out a hand to touch the lake water with interest.
"Gu Feng, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you too much.”Huo Xiuxiu suddenly said. In the quiet lake, it was like a spring thunder that exploded in Gu Feng's heart.
"Are you alright?" Gu Feng stared at this woman with his eyes wide open, wondering what was wrong with her.
Huo Xiuxiu smiled and said," You're now a member of the Huo Family, so I've decided to be of the same heart as you. I won't make things difficult for you or look down on you. You're still a man. I have to give you face, right?"”
Gu Feng was dumbfounded. He then turned his head around and looked at the scenery in the distance awkwardly.
Huo Xiuxiu saw him turn around and thought he was shy. She smiled and didn't say anything.
After a while, Gu Feng and Huo Xiuxiu went ashore. There were a few cars on the shore.
All the jeeps were filled with all kinds of people. When they saw the boat approaching, they threw down the cigarettes in their hands and waited for the boat to dock.
"Miss!"
"Miss is back!"
Everyone shouted one after another, their eyes filled with excitement. It was already good news that the two of them could come out of the tomb. After all, people in their line of work lived a life of fear every day. If they were not careful, they would spend the rest of their lives with those funerary objects and corpses.
Staying alive was the first priority. If they could take out more funerary objects, it would be something worth celebrating. After all, the Huo family only had two people, and both of them had returned alive. No matter how they calculated it, they had a 100% chance of survival.
The people who stopped by the shore were all the best in the Huo family. Everyone's temperament was different, and the unique skills in their hands were also surprising.
Gu Feng and Huo Xiuxiu got off the boat. Many people went to pick them up and helped them to the shore.
"How is it, Miss? Did you get anything this time?”someone asked.
" Of course!" Huo Xiuxiu said happily." I'll treat everyone to a good meal this time."”
"The new son-in-law looks good too. Hello, hello, hello, hello. You must be anxious waiting outside, right?”Another person said sarcastically.
The person who spoke was about 25 or 26 years old. He was also Huo Xiuxiu's admirer. When he found out that Huo Xiuxiu and Gu Feng were married, he was sad for a while. He was drunk every day, especially at the wedding banquet. He drank a lot.
When this person said that he was waiting anxiously outside, it meant that this new son-in-law did not go down to the tomb and only waited outside the tomb. To put it bluntly, he meant to look after the house.
This was an insult to people.
However, in the Huo family, whoever had the best tomb robbing skills would be respected. Otherwise, the women of the Huo family would not be the head of the family.
After Gu Feng heard this, there was no expression on his face. He said indifferently,"I wasn't in a hurry."
Everyone laughed. In their eyes, this new son-in-law was just a bystander. He could only do some work like carrying luggage and watching the house. Things like fighting were not something he could do.
They were also wondering why Old Madam Huo wanted this newbie to follow Huo Xiuxiu into the tomb.
"Maybe he wants to slowly establish an image for this new son-in-law. Otherwise, why would he ask Third Master Wu and the others to come?”
"I heard that Wu Xie of the Wu family has also come out. Could it be that they want to specially train the younger generation of grave robbers?”
"How can we figure out the intentions of those people above?”
"It's better to be honest and stop talking nonsense. As long as everyone has a tomb and meat to eat, that's enough."
The crowd stopped whispering and got into the car. They drove to the Huo Family Compound with Gu Feng and Huo Xiuxiu.
Soon, when they arrived at the Hunts 'residence, a large group of people was waiting at the door to welcome them. The scene was a little exaggerated.
"Why, why did you fight back? It's like a wedding.”Gu Feng had some doubts in his heart.
"This is all for you. According to tradition, every rookie has some customs after they come back.”Huo Xiuxiu said.
"What custom? Cross the brazier?" Gu Feng asked.
Huo Xiuxiu looked at him in shock and said,""How did you know?"
Gu Feng smiled awkwardly and shook his head helplessly. It was okay for a bride to cross the brazier, but he was robbing a grave and going home to cross the brazier. What was the point?
The group of people got out of the car. Gu Feng saw a charcoal brazier at the door and asked helplessly,"What is the meaning of this?"
"The Yin Qi in the tomb is very heavy, so it can only be eliminated by using an open fire," someone said.”
"Moreover, the higher the flame, the more evil qi will be removed. Why, hmm, do you want to increase the difficulty?”Another person joked.
"Add! I want the highest difficulty!" Gu Feng laughed and shouted.
"Good!" Everyone applauded.
"The new son-in-law thinks that the basin is small and the flame is low.”Someone shouted into the room.
Huo Xiuxiu was stunned and said,""You're crazy! It's just a brazier. Do you have to be so serious?”
Gu Feng smiled and said,"It's fine, are you happy?"”
Huo Xiuxiu felt that he had already become a part of the family when she saw him being so casual and carefree. She felt a trace of warmth in her heart.
"You're really amazing." Huo Xiuxiu suddenly said. She suddenly felt that Gu Feng was full of masculinity.
Gu Feng frowned and looked at her in confusion. He didn't understand why Huo Xiuxiu would say such a thing.
"What do you mean I'm really amazing? It's just a brazier. What are you talking about?”Gu Feng had just asked when he was suddenly shocked by the scene in front of him until his eyes widened.
The basin-sized brazier from before had already been removed and replaced by…
Everyone took out a meter-wide iron plate and paved the path that led to the gate and the courtyard.
It extended all the way to the depths.
Then, pots of charcoal were poured onto the fire, forming a fire path.
Now Gu Feng finally understood why the Huo family members were so surprised and excited. He also understood why Huo Xiuxiu was so nervous and even blamed Gu Feng for his recklessness.
It turned out that this was a trap!
However, he had chosen to jump in, so he had to think of a way to finish this path. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to survive in the Huo family, but he would also be humiliated. He was not a person who went back on his word. His mental mysophobia was too serious.
"Then I'll jump!" Gu Feng shouted loudly.
However, Huo Xiuxiu quickly stopped him. This was the first time she had seen such an exaggerated brazier. It was definitely not a brazier.
"It's too dangerous!" Huo Xiuxiu stared at the fire path in front of her and said nervously.
