Stay here, you'll always find a way to leave. The only thing I'm worried about right now is how you're going to get out of here if I die one day. Will you be able to find your way back? ”

Chu Xiaoxi was also frightened when he heard this, shook his head and said, "I don't know how to go back." ”

The last time she went back, the old woman slapped her back, and if the old woman died, she really didn't know how to go back.

The old woman said, "If you want to go back, you can only send you back before I die, and I will try to give you everything I know before I die, but you need to lay the foundation now." ”

Chu Xiaoqi really didn't want to hear her say the word "death", so he grabbed her hand tightly and said, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, your body is so good, you won't die so easily, you will definitely live a long life." ”

The old woman shook her head and said, "It's okay, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, anyway, I'm so old, and I'm lonely in this world, and it's a relief to die." After speaking, she patted Chu Xiaoxi's hand, then got up and went back to the house.

Chu Xiaoxi suddenly felt a little sad, looked at Mimi in his arms, and rubbed his face on its head.

From this day on, Chu Xiaoxi had to get up before dawn every day to fetch water, cook three meals, clean up, feed chickens, ducks, geese, cats and dogs, and the rest of the time she had to read those books on cultivating immortals, and then memorize the mantra. Half a month later, she had done all this well enough that the old woman asked her to learn to meditate.

When meditating, you must be calm, your mind must be free of distractions, and you must try to let yourself go, don't think about some messy things, and it is best to separate the soul and body, so that you will not feel tired in your body, nor will you feel numb in your legs, and you can sit for as long as you want.

The old woman told her that only when she had achieved the separation of body and soul, without any perception or perception, even if it was okay, she could move on to the next step.

Chu Xiaoxi felt that it was not easy to reach that level, she first tried to let herself sit cross-legged on the bed, and then closed her eyes to empty her brain, she tried to ignore her body, but there was no way, only after a while, her legs were numb, she could only move on the ground for a while, and then sit down again, but after a while, her legs were numb again, and after doing it twice, she began to be sleepy and napping again, and almost fell under the bed.

It seems that it is not easy to reach the point of separation of body and soul. However, everything was difficult at the beginning, and she was not too depressed, but found it very challenging, and then she began to empty her brain while doing things, trying to achieve the height of soul separation.

When she was working hard, Xiaozhuzi had also been living in her house to help her watch the house, she originally thought that Chu Xiaoxi would come back soon, because she still had a lot of things that she hadn't taken away, which she found out later, but she waited for more than ten days and didn't wait for Chu Xiaoxi to come back, she was a little uneasy, and felt that Chu Xiaoxi might really leave.

At this time, the food at home was almost eaten, and she could only pay for food out of her own pocket if she stayed any longer, and she was penniless. She specially rummaged through the place where she had put the money before, and found that the money was still there, and it hadn't even been touched, so she couldn't figure it out, if Chu Xiaoxi left, then it would be impossible for her to leave the money here, and she should take it with her, because money is too important to a person. But she didn't take the money with her, and put it here, could it be that she was in a hurry and forgot about it? She thought it was unlikely.

But she can't think about it so much now, since the things are still there, presumably she will definitely come back, and she shouldn't go far, so she took the money to the market, bought rice and noodles and came back, she just walked to the gate of Chu Xiaoxi's house, and saw the old man waiting for her at the door, she put half a bag of rice on the ground and said, "Dad, why are you here?" ”

The old man sighed and said, "It was your mother who asked me to come to you, I've been looking for you for several days, but I didn't expect you to live here, has the young lady forgiven you for letting you come back?" ”

Xiao Zhuzi shook his head and said, "No, Miss has already left here, I don't know where to go, I will temporarily live here to help her take care of the house." With that, she opened the door and carried the grain inside.

The old janitor helped her pick up the rest of the food and said, "Are you going to live here forever?" Your mother is very worried about you, and she doesn't want to talk about you, but because she cares about you, you don't blame her. ”

Xiao Zhuzi snorted coldly and said, "Care about me? Where does she care about me, she is afraid that I will not be able to earn money for her, and she will eat white rice. ”

The old man sighed and said: "You are her own child, how can she be so mean to you, she just likes to say a little, people are not bad, just a knife mouth tofu heart, I think you should go back with me and make a compensatory deal with her, you two are okay, it is not common to live here, in case the young lady comes back, it is not good." ”

Xiao Zhuzi said: "I stayed here to watch her family, if I also leave, won't this place be completely deserted?" Besides, I don't have the heart to go out to find a job now, if I go back to my mother and continue to nag, we have to quarrel again, I still just stay here, you go back and tell your mother, just say that I have done the job, so that she can rest assured. ”

Seeing that he couldn't move her, the old man sighed helplessly and said, "If you want to stay, stay here, then I'll go back and tell your mother." Then he left.

After he left, Xiaozhu tied the gate and began to cook. It's really boring and lonely for her to live here alone, but it's better than going home and listening to her mother's nagging, and she has been at odds with her mother since she was a child, and she looks down on her mother and thinks her mother is a very cheesy person. She had made up her mind that she would never be like her mother no matter what, so no matter how hard she had been outside, she didn't want to go back. What's more, she is living well now, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, she is quiet and comfortable, and she lives in such a big house.

Since Murong Feng left, the people of the Murong family have been paying attention to Chu Xiaoxi's side, and when they saw Xiao Zhuzi go back, they thought that she was Chu Xiaoxi's maidservant, maybe they knew where Chu Xiaoxi went, so they came to ask her once, although Xiao Zhuzi felt puzzled, but still told them that she didn't know either, and she didn't greet her when she left.

The people of the Murong family felt strange, so they had to privately send someone to find it when the time came.
