The old mansion of the Mu family in the night, hidden in the shadows of the trees and flowers, like a silent and huge beast.

Su Xiaoxi looked at it for a while, and then lowered his eyes silently.

The gap between the Su family and the Mu family is visible to the naked eye.

It is not easy to make a living in the Su family.

Mu Xuzhi was much younger than when she first returned to the Mu family, and her health was not good, how did she survive, she couldn't bear to think about it.

"Miss Sue." Cao Duo parked the car and took her inside.

"It's the main building over there, so we don't have to go there today."

Su Xiaoxi nodded, and followed him to a very backward position in silence.

After walking for almost an hour, Su Xiaoxi saw a road where vehicles could pass outside, but it was estimated that few cars usually drove over.

Cao Duo was very eye-catching, and when he saw her look over there, he explained: "In the early years, I heard that the family could only drive the car to the bottom, and they all relied on walking. And now sometimes. ”

Cao Duo said a little vaguely, but Su Xiaoxi understood.

If someone is deliberately made difficult, or if they are asked to do so, they will voluntarily lower their body and walk up the mountain.

Outsiders are just that, on the same way home, different people in the family can only take the car to different locations.

The juniors living in this family, if they are not taken seriously, there will also be people who use the universal excuse of "rules" to make things difficult for them, and they have to walk slowly with their feet every day when they enter and exit the old house.

And people like Mu Xuzhi, who live like a shadow in this big family, must belong to this kind.

I only thought of Mu Xuzhi's little child, who had to walk along the road alone for a long, long time when he left home; But I didn't expect that when I was at home, I would have to walk for so long.

Su Xiaoxi's fists clenched, and the pain of her nails pinching her palms calmed her down.

The two walked for more than ten minutes before they came to the outside of a small two-story building.

Except for the main building, the rest of the small buildings of the Mu family are similar in style from the outside, Su Xiaoxi deduced that they were built one after another in different periods, but they all followed the same regulations, and they were renovated every few years in order to maintain the appearance that looks neat and luxurious now.

Su Xiaoxi took a few deep breaths and followed Cao Nuo to a small building marked "29".

But when he followed Cao Duo in, he didn't see Mu Xuzhi.

The living room is clean and tidy, but you don't feel any life.

Su Xiaoxi glanced at the luxurious and bright crystal lamp above his head, and pursed the corners of his lips.

"He lives on the first floor." Cao Duo explained and took Su Xiaoxi to the stairs, but he didn't mean to follow him.

Su Xiaoxi nodded at him and slowly went downstairs by himself.

There were no lights on the stairs, and the light was dim, only by the light from the room above.

And around the corner, there is another kind of light.

Su Xiaoxi looked up, this is a special one, the same as the one he bought in his office, and the impact on Mu Xuzhi can be minimized.

Before he got down a few steps, Su Xiaoxi saw Mu Xuzhi.

This time he didn't wear protective gear, looking up at Bai Shengsheng's small face, staring at the stairs with blank eyes.

"Aunt Su!"

He waved his short arms vigorously.

They had obviously only met for a short time, and in Mu Xuzhi's eyes, she was just a slightly familiar stranger.

But at this moment, Su Xiaoxi truly understood what it meant that his eyes would glow.

He seemed to greet his whole world.

Su Xiaoxi quickened his pace to go downstairs, squatted down at the staircase, and opened his arms.

Mu Xuzhi was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and crashed into her arms.

"Aunt Su!" He cautiously explained, "If I don't wear protective gear, I can't go outside the stairs." ”

After a pause, he added, "You are my first guest, and I ...... I don't want to see you like that. ”

Su Xiaoxi suppressed her tears, "How you see me, I will be very happy!" ”

She hugged the little man in her arms a little stiffly.

A three-year-old child with a fragrance on his body.

The hair was thin and soft, rubbing against the neck, like the hair of some small young beast.

The small body is also soft, and people's hearts involuntarily soften into a puddle of water.

"Aunt Su, shouldn't the host invite guests to visit the house!"

Mu Xuzhi was obviously greedy for her hug, but he still tried to be a qualified master.

"Then I'll take you for a visit!" Su Xiaoxi glanced at it, there were only her and Mu Huainian.

The basement area is also very large, although it is only partially separated, but it is also close to 200 square meters, which is not divided into different rooms, but is divided into functional areas with different furniture placements.

But there is not a single window, and only a special lamp is lit in the corner.

Overall, the light is still very dim.

And here, too, during the day.

This is the case 24 hours a day, all year round.

Su Xiaoxi took a few deep breaths, and tightened the arm holding Mu Xuzhi a little more.

"Aunt Su, you see, I usually spend the most time here!" Mu Xuzhi stretched out his short little arm to point to her.

Su Xiaoxi looked over, and there was a small set of tables and chairs there, and a row of bookshelves against the wall behind it.

Looking at the covers, they are all books suitable for babies and toddlers.

Su Xiaoxi's voice was very soft, "Do you know words?" ”

Mu Xuzhi looked at her, shook his head, his expression was gloomy for a moment, and then he pulled out a very happy smile, "But I can look at the pictures!" I can also draw! ”

He happily took Su Xiaoxi to see where he painted, where he ate, and where he played with toys.

"That's where I shush and shower."

The only place Mu Xuzhi didn't take her to look carefully was the corner on the northeast side, but he just stood in the middle of the room and pointed.

As for the sleeping place, there is no need to point it out, there is a bed next to it.

Su Xiaoxi frowned.

The bathroom has a transparent glass curtain wall, and the toilet is also unobstructed.

"Usually, you're here alone?"

Su Xiaoxi asked in a low voice.

"Well, it's too dark for me here, and it will be very uncomfortable for others to stay for a long time." Mu Xuzhi looked at her nervously as he spoke, "Aunt Su, you will also feel very uncomfortable, right?" ”

"No, I feel like I've suddenly broken into the world of fairy tales!"

Su Xiaoxi smiled and hugged him and walked back to the painting place, sitting on the ground, "Come, let's share what you have painted." ”

Mu Xuzhi was really diverted, took out a few thick painting folders, and showed her the neatly stacked paintings in them one by one.

Mu Huainian stood on the stairs and watched from afar.

As early as when Mu Xuzhi took Su Xiaoxi to visit the "study", he came, but he didn't disturb them.

And the two of them never found him.

The big and small backs looked beautiful in the dim light.

Mu Huainian suddenly remembered a dream he had many years ago.
