Chapter 27: The Return
The weather in early autumn was just cool, and the temperature was pleasant at night, but Mu Zi's house was like a dog day in midsummer, and the heat made people panic.
Ah Gui and the others obeyed Gu Mingzhuo's instructions to soak Mu Zi in hot water for more than half an hour, and the heat made the steamed faces of all the people hot, but Mu Zi was still cold all over, only a trace of heat in his chest.
Ah Gui pursed her lips and took Mu Zi out of the bathtub, and quickly wiped her body with a hot dry cloth, lest she suffer a little more cold. After doing this, she ordered people to find all the stoves in the storeroom and gathered around Mu Zi's bedside.
The people waiting were all sweating with heat, but no one dared to complain. Ah Gui stayed by Mu Zi's bedside and didn't eat or drink, as if as long as Mu Zi didn't wake up for a day, she would be with her like this.
Late at night, several black shadows turned into the Wu'an Hou Mansion and broke into Mu Zi's courtyard.
Hearing the movement outside, Ah Gui's ears moved, but he didn't get up.
Mu Bo, dressed in a night suit, took the lead and hurried into the dormitory, startling the other waiters.
"Go out first! They are guards specially to protect the big grandmother! Ah Gui's voice was faint, without a trace of affection.
When a few little girls heard this, although they were puzzled, they didn't dare to make a sound when they looked at Ah Gui's appearance, so they bowed and retreated.
Mu Bo strode forward, took Mu Zi's pulse with a nervous face, and asked Ah Gui, "How is Miss?" Why is the room so hot! ”
Ah Gui was frightened by Mu Zi, and now when she saw her grandfather, she cried out with a 'wow', "Didn't you say that Miss survived the catastrophe and was reborn?" Now what's going on! ”
Mu Bo didn't care what Ah Gui said, his whole heart sank when his hand pressed on Mu Zi's wrist, and the cold temperature formed a strong contrast with the heat in the room.
"How, how can this be, third, come here..." Mu Bo's face was ugly, and he waved his hand to the few people behind him in a panic.
"Mu Bo, I'll come!" A clear and warm voice came from behind Mu Bo. Ah Gui was startled by the voice, his eyes widened, he didn't cry anymore, and looked blankly at the man in black behind Mu Bo.
"Great, uncle?" Ah Gui screamed in a daze.
"Gui! No see for many days! The man nodded faintly, as if he had said hello.
"Y-you're not dead?" Gui blinked in disbelief.
"Dead girl! Can't talk to you! Mu Bo's eyes widened, and he reprimanded angrily.
"Woo......" Ah Gui suddenly felt aggrieved in his heart, looking at Mu Zi who was lying on the bed and didn't know what was going on, and then looking at the man with a jade posture, he couldn't help but resent it, "You're not dead!" The young lady almost died! ”
The man was silent for a moment and said in a low voice, "It's me who is not good!" ”
He stepped forward slowly, and the sound of his left and right feet stepping on the floor was light and heavy, and he only felt very awkward in everyone's ears.
Ah Gui only discovered his abnormality at this time, and immediately forgot his resentment, and said with concern, "Uncle, your leg is injured?" ”
"It's okay!" The man's footsteps paused slightly, and he didn't explain much, but the two hands clenched into fists on his side clenched harder, and the joints were slightly white.
Mu Bo watched him limp and walk to the side of the bed with difficulty, his heart was slightly unbearable, he hurriedly controlled his feelings, and said to Ah Gui and his subordinates behind him, "Let's go out first!" Let the young lady and the aunt be alone for a while! ”
After the words fell, he took the lead and walked out, and Ah Gui also retreated behind everyone.
The man's face was handsome, and his facial contours were angular, but at this time he looked extremely soft. The heat in the room was steaming and a little bead of sweat broke out of the tip of his nose.
He gently held Mu Zi's hand, the cold from his fingertips made his heart tremble, he lifted the quilt, picked her up and took her into his arms, hugged her tightly, buried his head in her neck, and whispered in a low voice, "Ah Zi, I'm back!" Wake up quickly! ”
Gu Mingzhuo searched for a long time in the pharmacy of the Hou Mansion, and finally found a few reddish-brown medicinal herbs in an inconspicuous corner, he hurried back to Mu Zi's courtyard, but saw a few black-clothed people guarding the door, and even Ah Gui, who never left Mu Zi, was standing outside.
As if a premonition, he slowly turned his head, his eyes were facing the open window, and what he saw was this scene: in the arms of the handsome man, the person he was thinking of was petite and obedient hiding in his arms, looking so matched.
Gu Mingzhuo's limbs stiffened in an instant, and after a while, he lowered his head, looked at the medicinal herbs in his hand, and turned to leave.
He actually came back so soon, for her, he was naturally better than tens of millions of medicinal herbs.
Mu Zi in the dark only felt that she had been running for a few days and nights, and the light in front of her was so bright, but she was always so far away. She was a little tired, and gradually slowed down, staring at the brightness ahead, and became in a trance.
Suddenly, a voice came from my ear, clear and warm, "Ah Zi, I'm back!" ”
Mu Zi was stunned.
That voice was all too familiar, she had heard it for so many years, read it for so many years, for so many days and nights, and she had sat in the courtyard waiting for him to come, wishing she had heard his voice.
But......
Thinking of the day she gave birth, Mu Zi's heart was uncontrollably filled with a monstrous hatred. Why did he harm her, harm their children?
"Xue Jincheng!" Mu Zi shouted, almost clenching her teeth to control herself from falling,
"Xue Jincheng! You come out! She stood there and looked around, but there was nothing but darkness and a glimmer of light.
"Xue Jincheng! I hear you! You come out! Mu Zi's voice was hoarse, the despair in her heart and the darkness behind her seemed to swallow her, the light in front of her seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and Mu Zi rushed forward regardless of it.
Mu Zi opened her eyes suddenly, and the bed surrounded by the carved peacock lotus pattern appeared in her sight, making her slightly unable to react.
The stiff and cold body seemed to be turned on a switch, quickly and violently absorbing the heat of the outside world, and her body temperature immediately rose, and this obvious change made the man who hugged her quickly notice.
The man raised his head in surprise, leaned back slightly, and looked at each other.
"Ah Zi?"
"Xue Jincheng?"
Both voices were filled with disbelief.
Mu Zi looked at the man in front of her, her familiar face and handsome facial features were not any different from the appearance she remembered. At this moment, his face was full of joy, and there was no trace of disguise.
Xue Jincheng also looked at Mu Zi, his little wife looked at him in a daze without saying a word, and her eyes were...
Full of disgust! There was not a trace of joy! Xue Jincheng was in a trance!
