Chapter 7: The Li Family
Mei Niang endured and stayed up in bed for two days, fortunately the next day her limbs were slightly moved, and she was able to turn over, and today she also had strength in her legs, and she could stand on the ground for a while.
As soon as she woke up on the third day, Mei Niang felt that she seemed to be as healthy as before, no, maybe even better than before, because her body seemed to be full of strength.
Mei Niang jumped out of bed, hesitated, and walked to the gate. After lying here for many days, no matter what kind of scenery it is outside, it seems that there is a great temptation.
"Squeak", the door was gently pushed open.
"Who?" The sudden shouting from outside startled Mei Niang, and the house where she lived was actually guarded outside.
A man with a majestic face saw that it was Mei Niang, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Little girl, you better go into the house and stay." ”
Mei Niang took the opportunity of the door opening to sneak a glance outside, in addition to the man who made the sound, there was another man who was about the same height as him was also standing outside, and when he heard the movement, he just glanced back, and then continued to stand there like a stake.
The courtyard outside seemed to be very large, and there were corresponding houses on the opposite side, and Mei Niang only had time to see a corner, and the door was closed again.
"I'll go tell my master. The man outside the door said to another person.
Mei Niang's mood, which had already become a little depressed, immediately flew up again, so Li Haoyu should come later, according to him, she can see her mother today.
Mei Niang laughed happily, spun around in place, and then sat on the edge of the bed, shaking her legs while watching the movement of the door from time to time.
Mei Niang didn't wait long, the door opened in a bunch of chaotic footsteps, and the man who led the way in was the man who was guarding the door just now, and a doctor who had been treating herself a few days ago, and a girl dressed as a maid, but there was no Li Haoyu.
The doctor picked up Mei Niang's wrist and checked the pulse, then nodded and confirmed: "It's already good." ”
The maid came over and took Mei Niang's little hand and whispered, "Follow me." ”
It's good to be able to get out of this door, Mei Niang couldn't help but look forward to it, and after going out, she even took a few deep breaths, and the air outside seemed to smell much better than inside the house.
The road seems to be a little long, Mei Niang walked all the way through this courtyard, and then passed by a garden and a side hall, about ten minutes of walking, before arriving at a main courtyard.
The maid commanded, "Don't run around, wait here, I'll go and report it." Seeing Mei Niang nodding, the maid entered the house, and after a while, she came out and walked in with Mei Niang.
Mei Niang's etiquette class is impeccable, although she looked around when no one was there just now, but when she entered the house, she was well-behaved, her eyes did not squint, and she followed the footsteps of the maid until she stopped, Mei Niangfang raised her head slightly after standing.
There were at least a dozen people in the room, Mei Niang swept it from the corner of her eye, and judged in her heart.
Sitting opposite him was a man in his thirties, who was personable, very elegant and handsome, if it weren't for his very gloomy face, he would have almost met the aesthetics of Mei Niang's previous life.
After staring at Mei Niang for a long time, the man's deep voice sounded: "Your name is Wu Mei Niang." ”
Mei Niang bowed her head.
The man was silent again. At this time, someone reported: "The head of the family, Wu Muchang and Ouyang Lingxi have arrived." ”
Mei Niang couldn't help but be surprised, did her mother come too?
The footsteps behind sounded, Mei Niang couldn't hold it anymore, turned around, and saw her mother walking half a step behind her father, although she was neatly dressed, she couldn't hide the tiredness on her face, and she looked like she hadn't rested well for a long time.
Ouyang Lingxi also saw Mei Niang for the first time, the mother and daughter looked at each other, although they didn't dare to talk, but seeing that each other was okay, there were tears in their eyes.
"I've seen the head of the Li family. Wu Mu clasped his fists and saluted, and Ouyang Lingxi also saluted on the side.
Xu is the reason for blood relationship, Mei Niang smelled the familiar fragrance on her mother's body, and her heart couldn't help but settle, and a smile overflowed on her face again.
The man spoke: "Wu Muchang, your daughter took the cutting tendon fruit that I chose for Yu'er's private guard, and this fruit is only worth one per generation of young masters, so I can only take your daughter away, can you take it?"
Wu Mu hurriedly clenched his fists and replied, "This is my honor, thank you to the Li family master." ”
Ouyang Lingxi finally couldn't hold back her tears, and choked up softly: "Please also ask the head of the Li family to tolerate our mother and daughter to say a few words." ”
The man hummed impatiently, and Ouyang Ling thanked him.
Mei Niang didn't seem to understand it, did this man mean to take himself away?
Ouyang Lingxi took Mei Niang out of the door after confessing his guilt, and as soon as he entered the side room, he hugged Mei Niang tightly in his arms, and tears flowed down.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Mei Niang finally squeezed her head out and asked.
Ouyang Lingxi squatted down, grabbed Mei Niang's little arm, and asked seriously, "Is there anything uncomfortable on your body?"
Mei Niang shook her head.
Ouyang Lingxi gently patted her buttocks, choked up, and said, "Child, if you have a good share, at least you won't worry about food and clothing." Alas......"
Mei Niang didn't know what to say, she was really a little weak in her heart, and now that she thinks about it, she was indeed too bold and almost gave her life.
Ouyang Lingxi reached out again and touched Mei Niang's little face, and advised: "Because you have eaten that ball, you can only become the personal guard of the young master of the Li family, and you can't stay with your mother in the future, you have to take good care of yourself." ”
Mei Niang only realized at this time, it turned out that the cutting fruit was for Li Haoyu's selected private guard, no wonder he could get it, but did he actually want to be separated from his mother?
Mei Niang was a little panicked in her heart, after three years of getting along, she already had a deep relationship with Ouyang Lingxi.
"Can I help my mother take her along?" Mei Niang asked seriously.
"Silly boy. Ouyang Lingxi touched Mei Niang's little head with tears and said: "Now that the matter has come to this, you can only practice hard, and when you have results, beg your master to allow you to go home to visit your relatives." Mother is waiting for you at home ....... ”
Speaking of which, Ouyang Lingxi couldn't help choking up again, and simply hugged Mei Niang again and didn't let go.
Mei Niang's heart was also a little confused, was she going to leave the home she had just familiarized with and go to another place? But as long as she could practice, these should not be the things she should consider.
Mei Niang gradually became firm, it was only a temporary separation, as long as she could become a strong person in the future, why not give her mother a better life.
patted Ouyang Lingxi's shoulder, and Mei Niang's slightly milky voice sounded very seriously: "Mother, don't worry, I will practice hard, and when I become a strong person, I will come back to give my mother a better life." ”
Ouyang Lingxi saw that Mei Niang was so sensible, so he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, and nodded his head. Then I explained the details of life one by one, Mei Niang listened very seriously, and her impatient expression was not revealed at all.
At this time, someone came to inform that the Li family was going back, and this time it was for the selection of private guards, although something went wrong in the end, and the private guard became a woman, but it was considered to have completed the task, and there was no point in staying.
The head of the Li family was very generous, leaving Wu Muchang with some resources for practice, and at the same time promised that if the martial family encountered a major event, he could go to the Li family for help, so he led the team to leave.
Wu Mu Chang directly climbed the big tree of the Li family because of this, and couldn't help but think of the moment when he was in love with Ouyang Lingxi before, and since then, he has become more and more kind to Ouyang Lingxi. Even if Mei Niang is no longer in the martial arts family, after all, she is also her own daughter, and she is a daughter who can practice.
