Chapter 18: The Disappeared Boy Maodi
Mu Xi was exhausted and fell into a coma for a long time. When she woke up the next morning, she struggled to support herself, looking at the light shining through the palm-sized window of the firewood room, looking confused.
I curled up around her, meowing to call her attention.
Mu Xi looked down at me, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked up sharply.
"Maodi?" she called faintly.
I meowed, trying to say I'm here......
Suddenly I understood that she was looking for the boy named Maodi!
Mu Xi struggled to stand up, stumbled around in the firewood room, and saw that Mao Die was indeed not there, so he went to slap the door of the firewood room again.
"Someone, someone!" Mu Xi shouted hard.
"What are you doing, what are you doing!" it was Zhuang Yaoyue who came.
Zhuang Yaoyue didn't open the door, but asked impatiently through the door: "What are you shouting!"
"What about the boy who was locked up with me yesterday?" asked Mu Xi.
"Didn't I stay with you in the firewood room all night?" Zhuang Yaoyue's tone was full of disdain, and he said with jealousy: "Such a good-looking boy, staying with you all night, will he be scared to see you in the middle of the night!"
"He's not in the firewood room now, where has he gone?" asked Mu Xi.
"Not in the firewood room? No way, I didn't open the door last night. Zhuang Yao said.
"What the hell have you done to him, where is he!" Mu Xi asked anxiously.
"We ignored you last night! Grandmother passed away! Who has time to care about you!"
After Zhuang Yaoyue finished speaking, Mu Xi immediately fell silent.
Mu Xi sat down on the ground, covered his head with tears, and muttered, "Grandmother has passed away!
"Have you forgotten that you disturbed your grandmother's rest last night and gave her tea that was mixed with medicine!" Zhuang Yao said.
"I didn't...... I didn't! I just want to be with her......" Mu Xi cried.
There was a noise outside the door for a while, and the door opened, and Zhuang Junzhi stood outside the door with the second lady, Zhuang Yaoyue, and a group of servants.
Zhuang Junzhi's expression was very lost, and he didn't have much energy, as if he had aged ten years overnight, and weakly beckoned to Mu Xi and said, "Come out." ”
Mu Xi didn't get up immediately, but looked at the group of people crying and stunned.
"Before she left, your grandmother spoke for you and pleaded for you. You...... Hello do it yourself. Zhuang Junzhi said that, and wanted to turn around and leave.
"Can I take another look at my grandmother?" asked Mu Xi.
"What qualifications do you have! You evil spirit!" Zhuang Yaoyue said harshly.
Zhuang Junzhi glanced at Mu Xi and said, "Let the deceased rest in peace." ”
Mu Xi didn't get permission to see the old lady for the last time, she knelt silently outside the room where the old lady's coffin was parked, and knelt for a day.
I ran over and patted her with my paws, and she picked me up and cried.
"Grandmother is gone...... The Maodi is gone...... There's nothing left......" Mu Xi cried.
The first time I was a cat, the first time I was in tears......
"Grandmother is gone...... Mao Saucer is gone......" Mu Xi kept repeating.
I'm here!
I looked up at her, hoping she would take a closer look at me.
Mu Xi's sense of despair came to my face, and I couldn't help but be afraid. I felt as if a shield was shattering piece by piece inside Mu Xi.
"I have no status, no backing, no means, and I can't even see my grandmother for the last time. Mu Xi said: "Mao Di doesn't know if he left me, or was killed by Zhuang Yaoyue and them! I'm useless and cowardly, and anyone who gets close to me will be unfortunate ......."
My heart was tight, yes, that's what scared me the most.
I am afraid that she will recognize her own tragedy, that she will feel abandoned, that she will take all her misfortunes on herself......
I'm afraid she is no longer the simple and gentle wooden ......
I'm afraid that she will pursue the sky and the sea and abandon me......
"What can I do, how can I change this, and is my fate really going to be trampled on like an ant?" cried Mu Xi.
I want to tell her that the boy didn't abandon her, and he didn't die because of her!
As soon as I spoke, saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, Zhuang Junzhi came over.
"Mu Xi, go back and rest. "Zhuang Jun's way.
Maybe it was the first time Mu Xi heard Zhuang Junzhi speak to her so gently, and he couldn't react. Her face stained by charcoal ash last night had not been washed, and she was even more embarrassed by tears, like a little beggar, kneeling on the ground and looking at Zhuang Junzhi pitifully.
"Your grandmother was thinking about you before she left. Mu Xi, I was really sorry for you in the past, and I was sorry for your grandmother. All my energy is dedicated to my career, and I really neglect to take care of my family, and I regret it for my father. In the future, I will take good care of you and try to make your life better, and you don't have to complain about your second mother, she is a small girl and doesn't know much reason. Zhuang Junzhi said softly.
"Daddy, you will always be my father, Mu Xi will always respect you and love you. Mu Xi said, but a little absent-minded. After so many years of bullying, can you really be relieved immediately......
Zhuang Junzhi didn't feel it, and said with some relief: "Be good to your father and do what you say!"
Mu Xi asked: "Daddy, Mu Xi has something to ask, you must tell your daughter the truth, okay?"
Zhuang Junzhi nodded.
Mu Xi asked, "Where is the boy who was locked up with me last night?
Zhuang Junzhi sighed and said: "Mu Xi, don't be an amorous son, you will marry the right person in the future." ”
After speaking, he saw Mu Xi's expressionless face, his expression was cold, and he couldn't bear to say: "I didn't close him! I really don't know where he went to be his father." ”
Mu Xi nodded after hearing this, and said slowly: "I believe in my father." ”
After that, she struggled to stand up, and Zhuang Junzhi actually reached out to help her.
Mu Xi pushed Zhuang Junzhi away and limped back to his yard.
I followed her behind me, trying to pick up her broken heart.
Mao Die didn't leave...... Mu Xi!
Mu Xi pushed open the door and returned to her boudoir, I wanted to follow in, but she didn't seem to notice me and shut me out.
I crouched outside her door and listened to her cries coming from inside the room.
The duck came over and caught a fish for me, and said to me, "Eat something, your spiritual power is running out, and you can't bear it anymore." ”
I asked, "When will I be able to transform into a human again?"
"Let's practice diligently. The duck said: "You can't pull out the seedlings to help them grow, you eat the fish well, eat well and have the strength to cultivate"
I nodded, took the fish in my mouth, and took a big bite.
Mu Xi, I didn't protect you this time...... What should I do with you?
Wait for me, wait for me to become human, okay......
Duck said: "Mu Xi lost his relatives and friends again this time, which is really a double blow." ”
"We have to do something for her. Duck, help me think about it!" I said anxiously.
"Wait until I think about it...... Next month, Mu Xi's birthday, why don't we help her celebrate it?"
Want!
