Chapter 188: Relic
The dim room made Mu Xici a little unable to see the situation in the room for a while.
Withdrawing her hand from the door, she opened her mouth to summon someone, but suddenly she felt that she couldn't make a sound. It's like the throat is blocked by something, and it's so suddenly stalked, and people can't do anything about it.
Fortunately, the stiff posture did not last long, and Mu Xici heard a long breathing.
The midday sun shines through the cracks in the curtains, spilling into the house. Outside the house was the cold dripping into ice, and inside the house separated by a wall, there was obviously no brazier, but it still made her feel a long-lost warmth and peace of mind.
Looking across the table, a woman with gray temples was lying on a wooden bed, breathing evenly and peacefully. The years have ruthlessly left traces on her face, and the white hair on her sideburns makes Mu Xici feel distressed for a while.
Looking at her mother who was lying on the bed and falling asleep because of healing, Mu Xici finally suppressed the urge to enter the room, retreated lightly, and reached out to close the door.
She was concerned, worried, and scared.
She cares about her mother's condition, although she has Dr. Sima's assurance, but after all, the injury has dragged on for more than ten years, and maybe there will be sequelae or something. This made her have to be very concerned.
She's still worried. Worried about my mother's usual life, I don't know if my mother is doing well or not in the Mu family. After all, Mu Chennan dared to make a move against her, the leader of the four factions, let alone her mother.
But she was more afraid. What I was afraid of was my mother's questioning.
Ask her why she has been gone for so many years, and ask her why she hasn't even sent a letter back home all these years. Ask her if she ever had the idea of not wanting to come back.
Only in his heart turned into a silent sigh, not daring to step forward and not daring to speak.
"Little ......"
Mu Xici raised his head when he heard the voice, and hurriedly made a silent gesture to the person who came.
Fang Pozi hurriedly and obediently covered her mouth, but a pair of eyes swirled around Mu Xi, full of excitement.
She originally thought that the young lady had been gone for so many years and had no news, but she was afraid that there would be less luck. Who knew that a few years ago, there was suddenly such a big news that the Miss contest won the first place.
The family who served their wife in the small courtyard was not going to rise to the top. It's just that this good news comes without a beginning or an end, and it is said that I didn't see the deity after taking the first, so Mrs. Fang's face is dancing every day, but her heart is beating drums.
Isn't it time to see the Lord today? Let her heart that hung high finally fall back to the ground.
Mu Xici didn't know about her grandmother's kung fu for a while. My heart has turned a few times.
She only knew her grandmother's voice. As soon as I shouted out, I was sure to wake up my mother. After gesturing at the other party, Mu Xici led Xiao Yichen, who was standing behind him, to his east wing.
"My good lady, you're finally back. I'm worried about my grandmother-in-law's death......"
As soon as Grandma Sun followed Mu Xici into the room, she shouted in her loud voice. First of all, a word of concern. then chattered about the situation of my mother's life in the past ten years.
Mu Xici is worried that she doesn't know her mother's situation. Standing in the room, listening carefully to what grandma said one by one. So big that the Mu family almost held several clan meetings. As little as my mother, I ate a few more pieces of meat a few days ago.
These trivial things made Mu Xici listen very seriously and attentively.
It's like listening to an important secret resource in general.
Xiao Yichen stroked his sleeves a little impatiently at first. It wasn't until he saw Mu Xici's sparkling eyes and the smile on the corner of his mouth that he couldn't erase it, that he stood in place with him in surprise.
In his opinion. Mu Xici is like a very guarded and extremely sensitive turtle.
Whether it is in the inn of Sanqing Gefang City, in the ancient secret land, or in the north and south villages, this girl will shrink herself deeply into the turtle shell.
Disguise yourself with a smile all the time. No matter how hard it is, as long as she can survive, Mu Xici will carry her turtle shell on her back, and although she climbs very slowly, she still climbs hard.
Because she wants a lot of things, or a lot of things she wants to protect.
It's just that the more things you protect, the more capacity you naturally need. There will be more to fight against.
Originally, I thought that Mu Xici had now earned a great reputation for the Mu family, and presumably his status in the Mu family has also risen and he can play more value.
Who knew that because Mu Xici's ability was not enough, it was like a child with a huge amount of wealth, and everyone wanted to get involved.
This situation simply made Xiao Yichen cry and laugh.
But it's not that Mu Xici can't get out of this situation, it's just that the people she wants to protect make her have to be careful and continue to endure until one day she can uproot the person who threatens her.
It is precisely because of this that this girl can barely get into his eyes in this regard.
At the beginning, Mrs. Fang was too excited to see the young lady, and she was spitting about the things over the years. But when she was too excited, and her eyes turned to see the young lady followed by a handsome young man, her expression immediately became vivid.
"Miss, you brought this son back?"
Mu Xici was still immersed in Mrs. Fang's narration, and when she heard Mrs. Fang's question, she responded without thinking too much.
But she didn't think much about it, but the others thought a lot. Didn't Mrs. Fang smile at this: "Yo, this is our future uncle?"
"This is my friend, the guest I invited back to Mu's house. Mu Xici trembled, feeling that this mother-in-law was tired and crooked, and she dared to make a joke about Xiao Yichen.
casually found a reason to separate Mrs. Fang, Mu Xici didn't dare to look at the other party's expression, so he had to expect that the other party didn't actually care about their conversation.
It's just that she just had the luck mentality of an ostrich. The other party followed suit.
"Uncle?" Xiao Yichen's cold snort sounded in Mu Xici's ears, and she was so shocked that she had to pull out a smile and look at the other party.
"That's right. Actually, that, in ...... We are in Songwu City...... Uncle...... It's a title. Yes, it's a title. A name for a man in red. ”
"Oh. Xiao Yichen looked at each other with peach blossom eyes with a smile, and opened his mouth to answer: "You must have brought a lot of uncles home." ”
Mu Xici listened to Xiao Yichen's question, and he couldn't wait to roll his eyes. She is not a woman, and she has a lot of aunts. But her previous words have all been exported, and it is really difficult to take them back.
In this way, she had to seriously perfunctory: "Also...... Not much. Let's take Daoyou to the guest room to rest first. ”
Xiao Yichen stroked his sleeves, looked at the bedroom that seemed extremely shabby to him, and left with Mu Xi's resignation.
After arranging the peach blossom eyes, Mu Xici originally wanted to find Erya and ask about her mother's situation from the upright Erya. As soon as she walked to the middle of the courtyard, she saw a person walking back and forth outside the courtyard gate, but he just didn't enter the door.
"Fourth uncle?"
Mu Chenhui's body was shocked, but his mouth squirmed twice according to his reputation, and he said softly: "Xiao Ci, you have grown so big." ”
The warmth in the other party's eyes made Mu Xici a little stunned for a while. Except for her mother, there was really no second elder in the Mu family who looked at her so concernedly, which made her really uncomfortable.
Mu Chenhui only looked at it for a moment, then cautiously looked left and right, and hesitated for a while, before he made up his mind to ask, "Niece, is there a place where I can speak?" Sibo has something very important to tell you. It's about your parents. ”
Could it be about the change of the Mu family back then?
This seems to be a rare source. Mu Xici looked up at Mu Chenhui, thinking about whether to use the soundproof enchantment.
Speaking of which, she doesn't know much about Mu Chenhui. I just learned from my mother's mouth that although Mu Chenhui and Mu Chennan are brothers of the same mother, they have the best relationship with Mu Zhengfan because they are close in age and have played since childhood.
I don't know what role Mu Chenhui played in that incident back then, but in the mouth of his mother, he is a rare person in the Mu family who understands things. Since Mu Zhengfan and his wife escaped, Mu Chenhui took the initiative to take care of their master and servant.
So when she was young, her fourth uncle often quietly supplemented her and her mother.
It was only when Mu Xiqi was four years old that Mu Chenhui encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, so he decided to travel around, which made their later days so stretched.
Although he couldn't see his cultivation, Mu Chenhui, who had a Confucian temperament, made Mu Xici feel a little warm and reassured.
Nodding, she led Mu Chenhui to her east wing, and quickly set up a soundproof barrier in the house.
"Niece, this is ...... I didn't expect your major to be a formation. ”
Mu Chenhui's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light and joy.
After he stopped, Mu Xici didn't explain anything, but asked suspiciously: "I don't know what the fourth uncle wants to say ......?"
"This ...... The fourth uncle was so happy to see that you had grown so badly. Mu Chenhui smiled embarrassedly, took out a stone from his arms and handed it over carefully.
"This stone was left to you by Zhengfan. ”
Mu Xi took the stone in surprise and took it in his hand and looked at it carefully for a long time. She couldn't tell the material of the stone, but the shape was somewhat unique.
Inside the polished very smooth milky white semicircular stone, there are two circular grooves of equal size. But apart from these two small grooves, this stone is really nothing special.
Although Mu Xici's divine sense struck, she looked back and forth several times, and still felt that this stone. It's really just an ordinary stone.
looked up at Mu Chenhui suspiciously, but the other party smiled gently: "Don't look at me, the fourth uncle doesn't know what this stone is for." Zhengfan said back then, when you are older, I will hand it over to you, and I will know how to use it after I go to the Cangwu Mountains. (To be continued.) )
