Chapter 115 News from Mother and Father

"What do you want to ask?" The shopkeeper looked at Huo Chen and asked with a smile.

Huo Chen smiled, "I want to ask the shopkeeper, where did you get the secret recipe for your barbecue restaurant?"

The shopkeeper smiled, "But why should I tell you?"

Huo Chen's eyes paused, "If you don't tell me, I will open a restaurant next to you that sells the same barbecue as yours after I go out. Not only is the price cheaper than yours, but I will also give away some of it for free every day."

"How long can you support this?" the shopkeeper asked.

Huo Chen smiled, "It must last longer than you imagined."

The shopkeeper laughed again, "You are rich and powerful."

"So-so." Huo Chen smiled, "Shopkeeper, are you willing to say it now?"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper was silent for a moment, "The formula in our store was given to me by my partner. I pay the money, and he provides the formula."

"Shopkeeper, can I meet your partner?" Huo Chen asked.

The shopkeeper paused, "Why do you want to see my partner?"

"I want to hear the truth." The shopkeeper added.

Huo Chen pursed his lips, "Shopkeeper, to tell you the truth, I'm looking for my parents."

The shopkeeper's hand paused slightly, and Huo Chen's voice sounded again, "My parents disappeared when I was ten years old. I didn't know until recently that my parents fell into a space crack."

"Then you jumped into the space crack, why are you so courageous?" the shopkeeper said suddenly.

Huo Chen smiled, "Shopkeeper, are you caring about me? But why do you care about me? Is it related to my parents?"

"Shopkeeper, is your partner my mother and father?" Huo Chen asked urgently.

The shopkeeper said, "I don't know if they are your parents, but you look a lot like him."

Huo Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Shopkeeper, can you let me see him?"

The shopkeeper sighed, "He's not here anymore."

"Not here, what do you mean?" Huo Chen asked with a changed face, but don't be what he thought.

The shopkeeper looked at Huo Chen with a changed face, "It's not what you think, I'm not here anymore, is it because he has already left here, or left many years ago."

"Leaving?" Huo Chen asked after finishing speaking, "Then where did he go?"

The shopkeeper paused, "Back then, the chief manager of the Feng Family Plantation came out to recruit people, and he went there. At first, there was news from him, but then there was no news about him."

"I asked outside, but I didn't find out. In a flash, I haven't heard about him for ten years." The shopkeeper said, "Ten years, I don't know how he is now?"

"However, I believe he must be alive, it's just that it's not convenient to send me a message." The shopkeeper said.

Huo Chen heard this, "Shopkeeper, can you let me see his portrait?"

Huo Chen kept an eye out at this time, and didn't let the shopkeeper see the portrait in his hand.

A trace of nostalgia flashed across the shopkeeper's eyes, "Let me draw a picture for you now."

"Thank you shopkeeper." Huo Chen said.

The shopkeeper smiled, took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to draw.

Huo Chen stood up and watched, when a clear face appeared in Huo Chen's sight, Huo Chen clenched his fists excitedly.

"The shopkeeper is really my mother and father." Huo Chen said excitedly.

The shopkeeper looked up at Huo Chen, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, I will never admit my parents are wrong." After finishing speaking, Huo Chen took out a portrait and opened it.

"Look, shopkeeper, this is my painting of my parents." Huo Chen opened the portrait and said.

The shopkeeper's breath was suffocated. This portrait was like a real person standing in front of him. He raised his hand and wanted to touch those beautiful eyes.

"Shopkeeper, see if my picture is the same as yours." Huo Chen put away the portrait and said.

A flash of embarrassment flashed across the shopkeeper's expression, and he withdrew his hand and said, "Same, but my painting skills are not as good as yours, and my paintings are not as vivid as yours."

Huo Chen laughed, and then changed the subject.

"Shopkeeper, what should I call you?" Huo Chen asked with a smile.

The shopkeeper laughed when he heard this, "Your parents call me Brother Zhao, you can call me Uncle Zhao."

"You are Huo Chen, right?" the shopkeeper asked after finishing speaking.

Huo Chen smiled and said, "Yes, Uncle Zhao, I'm Huo Chen, have my parents mentioned me to you?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Your parents often tell me about you and Huo Xiao, by the way, how is Huo Xiao doing now?"

Huo Chen's eyes darkened, "Xiaoxiao is more advanced than us in space cracks, and I don't know his situation now."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper said, "Don't worry, the people who come out of the crack in the crime domain will be seriously injured at most, so Xiao Xiao must be fine."

"Yeah." Huo Chen hummed, "I also believe Xiao Xiao will be fine."

The shopkeeper said, "I will pay attention to Xiaoxiao's news. If I have news, I will let you know immediately."

"Thank you Uncle Zhao." Huo Chen said, "I have to ask Uncle Zhao to help me pay attention to the news about my Taoist couple and Xiaoxiao Taoist couple."

The shopkeeper agreed, and then said, "You are all married, do you have any children?"

"Yes, I have two, Xiao Xiao also has two, both are twins." Huo Chen said.

The shopkeeper laughed loudly when he heard the news, "Okay, your parents will be very happy when they know the news."

Huo Chen smiled, and then asked, "Uncle Zhao, can you tell me about my parents being here?"

The shopkeeper nodded, paused, and started talking.

"Your parents were rescued by a friend of mine, and then we met." The shopkeeper said this, with nostalgia and a trace of affection in his eyes.

Huo Chen just sat there and listened quietly, occasionally interjecting a word.

At the end of the shopkeeper's speech, he sighed, "Your parents said that you are still there, and he has to go back to find you. But the space cracks in the crime domain can only go out but not in. If your parents want to leave here, they can only Think of another way."

"And the crime domain is in the hands of the Feng family. If you want to leave the crime domain, you must connect with the Feng family. But it is so easy to connect with the Feng family. We have not found a way."

"Until that year, the largest plantation of the Feng family was recruiting people, and we went there, but in the end only your mother and father went in, and the two of us didn't go in, so we had to come back and continue to open this barbecue restaurant."

"In the beginning, there was news about your parents, but after three years, there was no news. We were worried that something happened to your parents, so we tried to find a way to inquire, but we didn't get any news."

"We comforted ourselves that no news is good news. It may be that your parents left the crime domain suddenly, and there is no way to send us news back."

After hearing this, Huo Chen said, "Uncle Zhao, what method did my mother and father use to deliver the news to you?"

"Your parents raised a black eagle, and every time they tied the letter to the black eagle's leg, and asked the black eagle to deliver the letter to us." The shopkeeper finished, "Since the news was cut off, we I never saw that black eagle again."

Huo Chen pursed his lips when he heard this, and used the black eagle to send a message. There were too many changes inside, and anything could happen.

Huo Chen paused, "Uncle Zhao, which plantation did my parents go to? I want to go in."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper said, "Your parents entered the largest plantation of the Feng family in Sin Yu, which is on Four Seasons Island. If there is no recruitment there, outsiders will not be able to enter Four Seasons Island."

"Then Uncle Zhao, when will they still recruit people?" Huo Chen asked.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper said, "Since your mother and father entered the plantation, it recruited people again five years ago. I don't know when it will be recruited again."

"Oh." Huo Chen frowned, and then said, "Uncle Zhao, I plan to go to Four Seasons Island, and I will trouble you about Xiaoxiao and his Taoist companion."

"Won't you bother me about your Taoist companion?" The shopkeeper said with a smile.

Huo Chen said, "I can sense the direction of my Taoist companion. I plan to find him first, and then we will go to Four Seasons Island together."

"That's it." The shopkeeper finished, "Xiaochen, if you insist on going to Four Seasons Island, I won't stop you. I will tell you what I know about Four Seasons Island right now."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao." Huo Chen smiled, he only knew the general situation of the crime domain, but he really didn't know about Four Seasons Island.

The shopkeeper smiled, "You kid is just too polite."

Huo Chen smiled, and the shopkeeper told him about the Four Seasons Island. In fact, he didn't know much, but for Huo Chen who was blank, it was already a lot.

The shopkeeper finished speaking, "All I know is the situation around Four Seasons Island. I can't help you with the situation inside Four Seasons Island."

"This is already very good." Huo Chen finished, "I thought that the Four Seasons Island was in the Sin Sea, but I didn't expect it to be on the Sin Lake to the north of the Sin Yu Sea."

The shopkeeper hummed, "I'll give you the road map in a while. My road map here, your Uncle Wang has walked through many places in person, so it's more detailed than the ones sold outside."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao." Huo Chen finished speaking, "Uncle Zhao, I plan to leave as soon as possible. I probably won't see Uncle Wang, so I have to trouble you to say hello to Uncle Wang for me."

"Okay." The shopkeeper said yes with a smile, and then said, "Xiaochen, how do you plan to cross the Sea of ​​Sin?"

Huo Chen said, "I planned to go by boat, but the nearest boat will be a month later, I can't wait that long, so I plan to go by myself first."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper frowned and asked, "Xiaochen, what is your cultivation level now?"

"The middle stage of foundation establishment." Huo Chen didn't hide it from the shopkeeper either.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper said, "It turned out to be the middle stage of foundation establishment. You are better than your mother and father. Your mother and father were at the early stage of foundation establishment at that time."

"My mother and father hadn't established the foundation yet when they left." Huo Chen was very happy knowing that his mother and father had already established the foundation.

The shopkeeper said, "I heard from your parents that he succeeded in building the foundation in the turbulence of time and space."

Huo Chen thought a lot after hearing this.
