Chapter 17: The Departure of Loved Ones
During this time, Zhuang Yaoyue asked Mu Xi to do all kinds of dirty work every day. Mu Xi finally finished these chores, but he still had to embroider.
I helped her with the work, and when she embroidered, I served tea and poured water on the side.
The old lady was also sick for a while, and Mu Xi was busy working every day, and she had to visit the old lady in her spare time.
She was forbidden to go to the second room, saying that she was afraid that Mu Xi would disturb the old lady. Mu Xi still insisted, but whenever he found that the maid and grandmother were lax guards, Mu Xi would sneak in to see the old lady.
One day, Mu Xi slipped into the old lady's yard again, and I slipped in with her. But this time, instead of taking out the pastries and fruits as usual, the old lady coughed up blood.
Mu Xi was startled and ran out and shouted for the servants to go to the doctor.
A servant replied: "The second lady said that the old lady's symptoms during this period of time are normal, so don't worry too much about going to Langzhong." ”
Mu Xi begged from east to west, and the servants in the courtyard all had similar reactions.
Mu Xi ran back to his grandmother's house and said, "Grandmother, you wait for me, I'll go out of the house to find a doctor for you,"
"Mu Xi, listen to grandmother, don't look for it anymore. You can't find it, the bad woman in the second room has already told the servants that if I feel uncomfortable, I will resolutely not look for Langzhong. The old lady said.
"How can this work!" Mu Xi cried directly when he heard this.
"Muxi...... Pour a cup of tea for your grandmother. The old lady said.
Mu Xi cried and served tea to the old lady.
The old lady took a sip, and suddenly the person coughed violently. Mu Xi hurriedly took out a handkerchief to help the old lady wipe it clean.
Mu Xi looked into his handkerchief, his frightened hands trembled, and he shouted, "Grandmother, you cough up blood!"
As soon as the words fell, the old lady coughed even more.
It was at this time that Zhuang Junzhi, who was usually in the palace during the day, actually returned to Zhuangfu. Zhuang Junzhi is also a filial son, and the first thing he did when he returned home was to visit the old lady.
The second room didn't find Langzhong for the old lady, Zhuang Junzhi didn't know.
Zhuang Junzhi was very displeased when he saw the old lady coughing up blood.
The second room suddenly said: "Mu Xi! I asked you not to see the old lady, why are you here again! The old lady is uncomfortable, who asked you to drink tea for the old lady?"
"Did you choke on tea, so you vomited blood!" Zhuang Yao said.
The old lady suddenly fell unconscious, and Mu Xi gasped in fright.
"I won't let you disturb the old lady's rest, you won't listen!" cried the second lady.
Zhuang Junzhi's face was flushed, and he said loudly: "Lock up Mu Xi for me!"
A few little guys came over to pull Mu Xi, who knelt down at once and begged, "Daddy let me stay! Grandmother looks very uncomfortable!"
"Get out!" Zhuang Junzhi roared.
A few little guys dragged Mu Xi and rudely locked her in the firewood room, Mu Xi fell to the ground, and the soot stained her face and clothes.
I looked at Mu Xi's crying face, the charcoal ash floating on her face, she covered her chest heartbrokenly, whimpering and heartbroken......
"Grandmother...... What should grandmother do...... I'm so scared, I don't want to be without my grandmother!" Mu Xi cried, leaning on the side of the door and banging on the door.
I sat next to her, and my heart was sad. Although Mu Xi and her grandmother live in the same Zhuangfu, the old lady has always been in poor health, so she rarely accompanies her grandchildren and granddaughters.
Mu Xi rarely saw her grandmother. But if you ask anyone in this house who is better to Mu Xi, it will be the old lady.
From time to time, my grandmother would ask my grandmother to bring Mu Xi some snacks, and she would also give Mu Xi some jewelry that she didn't wear. I remember that Mu Xi was beaten at the birthday banquet, and only the old lady was the only one who helped Mu Xi beg for mercy.
When the old lady is there, the second room will also be jealous of her majesty, and will not treat Mu Xi too presumptuously. If the old lady leaves, the second room doesn't know how to deal with Mu Xi.
I looked at Mu Xi worriedly and prayed for my grandmother together.
"Miss Muxi, don't call anymore, the old woman is gone. A maid whispered outside the door.
Mu Xi collapsed instantly, banging on the door frantically, tears bursting!
"Let me out! I'm going to see my grandmother! I'm going to go out to see my grandmother!
The first time I saw such an angry Mu Xi, I couldn't help but shrink in fear, my gentle Mu Xi was crying at this moment, his eyes were red, his expression was desperate, and his voice was hoarse......
"That's it! That's it! I'm the lowliest person in this house! I just want to see a dead relative one last time! What crime have I committed to be so painful that I will never see my dear relative! Why do you do this to me! Why! Let me out!" Mu Xi screamed, tears falling down his clothes in large drops.
I snuggled up beside her, watching her keep banging on the wooden door of the firewood room, the skin of her palms cracked, the wooden thorns cutting through the flesh and blood.
I knew I had to do something, even if I was mentally low, I had to fight hard.
Cast a trick on Mu Xi, Mu Xi's crying stopped abruptly, and he fainted to the ground all of a sudden.
The effect of this spell won't last long, and I have to think of a solution at this point.
I tried to recall all the spells I had learned, trying to find one that would work for Mu Xi's situation at the moment, but the more anxious I was, the more confused my thoughts became......
What did Mu Xi need? She needed to see her grandmother one last time. But at this moment the old lady has died.
The monkey once taught me a spell and he said that if he or the duck sacrificed himself to protect me, he must use this spell to summon their souls, and this spiritualism must be used in a safe place, because spiritualism is actually forbidden and consumes a huge amount of spiritual power. And I don't have much spiritual power cultivation, so I don't know if I will hurt the Yuan Shen.
At this moment, Mu Xi's grandmother should have just passed away, and her soul must not have left her body too far.
I thought about the mantra and closed my eyes. No matter, let's solve the immediate problem first, otherwise Mu Xi will go crazy!
I silently recited the mantra and softly called to my grandmother. In an instant, I felt a violent loss of spiritual power, and a feeling of dizziness made me sway.
A translucent blue soul gradually appeared clearly in front of my eyes, and slowly it became clear, and Mu Xi's grandmother finally appeared!
"I ...... Are you dead?" the old woman looked a little dazed, fluttering and unaware.
"Old lady, I'm Mu Xi's friend. You did pass away today. I whispered.
"I'm dead...... Then what are you calling me for?" asked the old lady with a sad expression.
"Mu Xi was locked up in the firewood room, and she couldn't see you for the last time, she was so sad...... That's why I took the liberty of calling you here and begging her to say goodbye to you. I replied apologetically.
"Muxi...... My son......" The old lady turned to see Mu Xi, and her translucent pupils also shed tears that would turn into smoke.
The magic in the wooden place is also up to time, and when he heard the call, he slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes widened the moment he saw the old lady!
"Grandmother, grandmother!" Mu Xi cried and tried to reach out to touch the old lady, but he missed it.
"Mu Xi, my grandmother is no longer alive. Don't be too sad, my grandmother is already very old, and she walked peacefully. The old lady said softly and comfortingly.
Mu Xi sobbed silently, kneeling in front of the old lady.
"Xi'er, I'm leaving, you can live a good life in the Zhuang Mansion by yourself. Before leaving, I have already explained to your father that he should treat you well. I know, when my grandmother is gone, your second mother will definitely be difficult for you, don't blame her, you have to learn to attach to her. The old lady said, looking sad.
"No...... I don't want my grandmother to go, I want my grandmother's protection, I want my grandmother!" Mu Xi cried.
"Mu Xi, I have wronged you in this life...... In the next life, grandmother will treat you well. In this life, no matter what, you must live and be strong!" the old lady also cried.
After that, the old lady became more and more transparent, and Mu Xi hurriedly said: "Grandmother! goodbye! I love you and respect you, forever!"
The old lady looked at Mu Xi and smiled, gentle and kind......
Mu Xi fainted again, and I returned to my cat form...... I can't change my human form!
