Chapter 351: Disgusted Widow Attack
Xueling Town, southeast corner area.
A large number of colonists gathered in this place, and through their hard work, they built their own homes brick by brick.
Huo Jixing held Annie's hand and walked slowly along the dark gray stone road, with some words floating in the air.
“He is very busy. He always leaves early and comes home late. He doesn’t know what he is doing. Sometimes he doesn’t even bother to eat.”
Anne pouted, complaining a lot about her father Gregory.
"I usually take care of myself, and occasionally I help him prepare some simple food."
Huo Jixing looked at Annie, who had her head lowered and was wearing a tattered skirt. He was carrying a small, damaged bag on his back.
He could only shake his head helplessly.
If Amorin was still alive, how could she let her daughter wear such clothes?
"Maybe he does have his own matters to deal with." Huo Jixing held Annie's hand tightly and said comfortingly.
"How about we go buy some things first and give your father a surprise when he comes back!"
"Yeah, okay!"
Annie seemed to be confiding her true feelings to someone for the first time, and the melancholy in her eyes dissipated a lot.
After hearing Huo Jixing's proposal, she immediately became happy and couldn't wait.
Anne's parents have an irreplaceable place in her heart.
Especially her mother Amoline.
Anne would often quietly recall her mother's words and deeds in the dead of night, as if those warm scenes were right in front of her eyes.
She will think of the delicious food her mother made for her when she was a child; think of the clothes her mother knitted for her; think of her mother's gentle eyes.
This is why she saw Amorin's gift. The reason for trusting Huo Jixing so much.
She believed in her mother and would not harm her.
“I have money, use my money!”
Anne took out her money bag, and the gold coins inside made a sound.
Huo Jixing paused, thinking of the commotion Annie had just made, and reached out to hug Annie.
They walked back to the store they passed before to buy some food and drinks.
And the essential milk!
Soon, they purchased all the things and returned to Gregory's residence.
This is a slightly simple wooden house built with solid wooden boards, with two bedrooms and one living room.
Pushing open the door, Huo Jixing walked in, putting down what he was carrying while looking at the environment inside the room.
The warm-colored curtains swayed in the wind, and the sunlight filtered through the gaps and scattered on the wooden floor.
The black wooden table commonly used in the north is placed in the middle of the living room, with an oil lamp placed on it.
Although the furnishings in the house are simple, every item is placed in an orderly manner.
It can be said that although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
And through some traces of decoration in the house, Huo Jixing could think of the way Gregory decorated the house, trying to hide Amorin's style, but he couldn't help but be affected.
“Wait.”
Huo Ji Xingshen's expression condensed, and he instantly noticed something was wrong with the decorations and items in the room.
With Gregory's identity and extraordinary strength, even if he is looking for a place to live, he should not live in such a crude place.
"Could it be that Gregory knew something? Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he chose to live here." Huo Jixing thought to himself.
Time passes slowly.
Huo Jixing and Annie were talking quietly in the room, and Annie would laugh softly from time to time.
And less than half of his attention fell on the stuffed teddy bear Tibbers.
"The breath of the devil, was it a devil that was once hidden in Amorin's body?"
Huo Jixing sensed the power of Tibbers, and ripples appeared in his heart.
He has encountered many demons, such as the demon clown Shaco, the eternal nightmare Nocturne, and the demon inside Swain.
I didn’t expect that Annie would also be connected with the legendary devil.
Boom! Boom!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Huo Jixing heard the sound and walked away, a red-golden glow appeared in his eyes.
"Hey, ordinary people, are they Gregory's friends in Snow Ridge Town?"
He looked at the white clouds in his field of vision, and doubts flashed in his heart.
Opening the door, Huo Jixing saw a woman wearing a blue skirt standing at the door, holding a jar in her hand.
I saw the woman in the blue dress, her long golden hair cleverly tied up, her face gentle, and her blue eyes as deep as lake water.
The body proportions are just right, neither tall nor short, with a natural beauty.
The woman in the blue skirt was slightly startled when she saw Huo Jixing, then showed a puzzled expression and asked softly.
“Is this Mr. Gregory’s house?”
While asking, she caught sight of Anne in the room out of the corner of her eye and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Annie, it's me!"
After finishing speaking, the woman in the blue dress asked Huo Jixing in turn.
"Who are you and why do you appear in Mr. Gregory's house?"
Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly. This change in tone means that he regards himself as the owner of the house. Already?
"I am Anne's uncle, and I stopped by to visit Gregory."
Hearing Huo Jixing's words, the look of the woman in the blue dress changed slightly, and her tone became gentle again.
"Hello, I am Mr. Gregory's neighbor. Send him some food."
"Since he has not come back yet, I will come over later."
The woman in the blue dress raised the jar in her hand to signal, smiled and left.
Huo Jixing watched the other party leave with light steps. As soon as he closed the door, he heard Annie's voice.
“I don’t like her.”
Anne walked over and looked at the back of the woman in the blue dress with a look of disgust.
"Haha, if you don't like it, just don't let her in from now on."
Huo Jixing picked up Annie, sat on a wooden chair, smiled and opened a similar small Snacks of bread were brought to her mouth.
Annie opened her small mouth, ate the snack, and narrowed her eyes.
"Zhizhi! Wuwu!"
As soon as she ate the food, Annie heard a strange sound in her ears.
While looking around, she noticed something moving in Huo Jixing's arms.
Under her doubtful eyes, she saw a stuffed animal with its head popping up.
"What kind of animal is this? It's so cute!" Annie exclaimed.
Huo Jixing lowered his eyes and saw the snoozing snow-white Poro slowly waking up after smelling the aroma of food. The little guy seemed to have slept for too long and was a little confused about the environment. When he looked around, he looked at Annie.
Then it felt itself flying up and falling into a warm embrace.
On its right side is a tattered teddy bear with a missing button-like eye.
"Wow, its body is so soft and comfortable!"
Anne's eyes were shining with a different light, and she gently touched the snow-white Poro, her excitement beyond words.
But at this moment, Huo Jixing saw a hint of jealousy and murderous intent in Tibbers's eyes.
“Tsk, tsk, interesting!”
He reached out his hand, gently pressed Tibbers’ head, and rubbed it a few times.
This sudden movement made Tibbers tremble with fear.
It seems to remember Huo Jixing’s identity!
Annie was still immersed in the interaction with the Snow White Poro, and did not notice anything strange about Tibbers.
In her heart, Tibbs was as restless as herself and didn't know what fear was.
How can you be as well-behaved as a cat?
However, the fact happened right under her nose.
“Woo, squeak!”
The snow-white Poro blinked its eyes and danced its little paws wildly, as if calling for help.
Huo Jixing ignored it and let Annie play with the little guy.
Squeak!
The door opened slowly.
Gregory returned to his residence after a busy day.
He entered the house and immediately noticed the lighted oil lamp.
Afterwards, he saw Anne sitting in the arms of a handsome young man, and the two were laughing happily.
"Huo Jixing?"
Gregory looked a little in disbelief and rubbed his eyes, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
"It's me, long time no see, Mr. Gregory!"
Huo Jixing put down Anne, stood up and walked towards Gregory, and the two hugged gently.
In the living room of the room.
The simple black wooden table is filled with fragrant food.
Annie hugged Tibbers and looked at the snow-white Poro who was eating, with a smile on her lips.
“How did you find this place?”
Gregory looked at Huo Jixing in front of him and asked, driven by curiosity.
“I accidentally heard the news about you and Amorin, so I came here.”
Huo Jixing looked at Gregory with a steady expression.
His once handsome face was covered with traces of vicissitudes of life, and his brown hair was randomly scattered in front of his forehead.
Looking extremely tired.
“What happened, why did Amorin suddenly disappear?”
“Oh, it’s a long story.”
Gregory heard that Amorin Lin's name appeared, her face was bitter, and her eyes fell on Annie, as if she was recalling the days spent together with Amorin.
"I"
Just as he started to speak, there was a knock on the door, which attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Huo Jixing looked at the door, his brows raised slightly, and familiar clouds appeared in his field of vision.
Gregory went to open the door, and the woman in the blue dress who had left not long ago came back.
"Mr. Gregory, you haven't eaten it yet, have you? This is the food I made."
A gentle voice sounded, her tone full of care and love.
"Ah, sorry, Villarreal, we are eating."
Gregory looked down at the jar in Villarreal's hand and turned sideways.
"If you don't mind, let's have a meal together?"
He thought that during this period, he was busy due to some things and neglected Anne's life. Thanks to his neighbor Villarreal, he Anne's care.
When Villarreal heard this, a hint of joy appeared on her gentle face. Just as she was about to enter the room, she saw Huo Jixing looking at her with a half-smile.
She also saw the table full of food, including meat and soup, which was very rich.
“No, I just thought you might not have eaten yet, so I brought food.”
A hint of gloom flashed in Villarreal’s eyes, but she still kept her face smile.
"Since you have already finished your meal, I will not interrupt you. I wish you and your friends a pleasant meal."
Gregory looked at Villarreal's leaving back, feeling guilty in his heart.
He closed the door, turned back to the dining table, and sighed.
"Villarreal is a careful and considerate person, and he has taken good care of me and Anne during this time."
"Are you familiar with...well, Villarreal?" Huo Jixing picked up a piece of white bread and put it in his mouth.
"It's not bad, we met after I moved to Xueling Town, we are neighbors." Gregory explained.
"Living alone?"
"Yes, I live nearby."
Huo Jixing suddenly understood, was he attracted to Gregory?
But think about it, with Gregory's handsome face and mature temperament, he can be called a young woman killer.
What's more, she is a widow who has lived alone for many years.
"Let's eat first."
Huo Jixing glanced at him, no wonder Annie didn't like it.
Gregory frowned, as if he understood something, but he didn't say much.
The night breeze blows into the house through the windows, bringing a hint of coolness and chill.
After Annie finished eating, she took Snow White Poro and Tibbers and returned to the house to rest.
In the living room, Huo Jixing and Gregory sat opposite each other after clearing away the post-dinner trash.
