Chapter 517: Zhu Qiuqi
The moon hung in the sky, covering the earth with a veil, so light.
The tranquil Mu family compound is like a dragon that is gradually recovering at this moment, and there is an indescribable aura slowly gathering.
That was the breath of unity of the Mu family, and they wanted to bring the Mu family back up and gain a firm foothold in Clear Water City.
Mu Yu sat alone in the courtyard, with a pot of wine in front of him.
After coming to Shimizu City, he really fell in love with the feeling of drinking.
It was a very strange feeling, he used to have some drinks with Caiyeol once in a while, Caiyeol was an alcoholic, he wasn't, he didn't like to drink before.
Mu Zhexing sat silently across from him, looking at his son, with mixed feelings in his heart.
The long-lost son was suddenly found in this way, which made him, a father, a little overwhelmed. He didn't know how to express his emotions because he was completely unfamiliar with what kind of person his son really was.
Mu Zhexing wanted to know how Mu Yu had come over all these years, but he didn't dare to ask, because he wasn't around when Mu Yu needed him the most.
He felt that he was not qualified to ask Mu Yu about his past.
"Drinking?" Mu Yu broke the silence.
"I quit. Mu Zhexing shook his head.
Mu Yu poured himself a glass: "But I've been fond of drinking lately. ”
Mu Zhexing smiled slightly and said, "You look very similar to her, I felt it before the first day you came to Mu Mansion. ”
"That's why you came to sleep in my yard that day?" asked Mu Yu.
On the first day of coming, Mu Zhexing lay in front of Mu Yu's door without saying a word with a wine bottle, and didn't even say hello.
"I just wanted to be sure, I thought it was just a coincidence. Coupled with the fact that Xiao Xin is too easy to trust strangers, I don't want Xiao Xin to have an accident. "Wood Folding Star Road.
The moonlight was very quiet, and it looked very peaceful on the two of them.
"Do you want to know about your mother?" asked Mu Zhixing.
Mu Yu was silent, he didn't have the memory of Zhu Qiuqi in his mind, Zhu Qiuqi left Liushui Village without saying goodbye when Mu Yu was two years old.
Zhu Qiuqi left while Mu Yu was sleeping, and did not say any goodbye to Mu Yu.
Since then, he has followed the village chief, and he has no thoughts about this mother, whom he has never met.
Perhaps, but it will never be missing.
"Say it. Mu Yu didn't want to know about Zhu Qiuqi, but he still responded politely.
He didn't want to know because he didn't understand what it was that would make a mother abandon her son to see her husband alone.
Mu Zhexing saw that his son had a grudge against his mother, but he still said it to himself, as if he was talking to Mu Yu and as if he was telling himself.
Thinking of that woman, Mu Zhexing's face was smiling.
"Qiu Qi is a woman from an ordinary family, kind-hearted, and her cultivation talent is also very high. When I was young, I loved to drink, and it was the kind of way of drinking that didn't rely on spiritual power, and I liked the feeling of being drunk with alcohol, so I didn't use spiritual power to force out the alcohol. If I didn't use spiritual power to protect myself, I would get drunk like a normal person. I happened to be drunk at her doorstep that day, and I was taken in by her kind people for the night. ”
Mu Zhexing showed a nostalgic look on his face: "She used her spiritual power to disperse the alcohol on my body, and I was very angry when I was woken up, but she grabbed my ears and warned me not to get drunk again in the future." Only then did I realize that after I got drunk, I vomited all over her house, and even my whole body was dirty, and she finally washed it.
I had only seen her for the first time, and I was lectured by her, but it was so interesting to see how she taught me, so I secretly wrote down the address of her house, and then deliberately fell drunk at her door several times. ”
"Are you a scoundrel?" a smile appeared at the corner of Mu Yu's mouth.
"Well, every time I got drunk, she would take me in, and then she would pull my ear and warn me not to get drunk. After going back and forth, I fell in love with her, and we were together. After I was with her, I rarely drank because she didn't like the way I drank. Later, we had you. ”
Mu Zhexing met Zhu Qiuqi through drinking, but gave up his favorite wine because of Zhu Qiuqi.
"But I was the young master of the Mu family at the time, my cultivation talent was second to none in Qingshui City, my future was immeasurable, and I had a marriage relationship with the Yan family. I don't dare tell your grandfather, I know that your grandfather will definitely not allow me to be with a woman from an ordinary family. At that time, we were both in our infancy, so we agreed to leave Qingshui City, and I chose to run away from marriage. I secretly dug up a piece of bluestone, this is the tradition of our Mu family, and every Mu family member must have this bluestone. ”
"But Dad found out and went to arrest us personally, and the two of us kept fleeing, fleeing in the direction away from Qingshui City, and finally we were caught up. I begged him to let us go, telling him that we already had children of our own, but because of my escape, a big business between the Mu family and the Yan family fell through.
Dad was disgraced in front of the Yan family, he was furious and wanted to beat my child with his own hands, I could only let Qiu Qi escape alone, and I was arrested by my father. ”
A hint of anger appeared on Mu Zhexing's face, but it was quickly fleeting.
Now that the dust has settled, there is nothing to pursue. Mu Tianhe also regretted it back then, he was just angry at the time, and he didn't really want to kill his grandson, just to threaten Mu Zhixing to go back.
"Where did you flee to?" asked Mu Yu.
"Near Lanxi City, there is a remote area to the north of Lanxi City, called the Moyun Mountain Range. That's all I know, and I don't know where Qiu Qi took you. When I returned, I was imprisoned by him, and he wanted me to inherit the family business, but I did not refuse, and rebelled against him in a drunken way.
Until two years later, when Qiu Qi had already given birth to you, and you were two years old, I met Qiu Qi, but in front of my father, she was afraid that you would be killed by my father, so she refused to say where you were. ”
Mu Yu looked at his father and said, "She loves you so much that she chose to abandon me to see you?"
Abandon her son and go to her husband.
Mu Yu still couldn't figure it out.
Mu Zhixing shook his head: "When she saw me at the time, I noticed that something was wrong with her, she seemed to be missing something, but I couldn't say what it was. Later, my father told me that at that time, he invited an alchemist from the Danding faction to diagnose her, and the alchemist said that Qiu Qi's body was seriously lacking wood in the five elements, and the vitality of the wood attribute in her body seemed to have been opened a gap and had been draining, which was very abnormal, and I didn't know what was wrong. ”
There is a serious shortage of wood in the five elements!
It was like a thunderclap in Mu Yu's mind!
Mu Yu's mouth opened wide, and he suddenly understood something.
I'm afraid it wasn't anyone who killed the damn, but himself!
His five elements belong to wood, and he is seriously lacking in four elements.
If he guessed correctly, his mother's death was inseparable from the power of the Mu Youmeng Demon Clan in his body, and it was very likely that he destroyed the balance of the five elements on Zhu Qiuqi's body!
Mu Yu thought of Qiao Xue, the woman he saw in Qiao Xue's memory at that time was not Qiao Xue's biological mother, but her stepmother, her mother died very early, Qiao Xue told Mu Yu that she killed her mother, it turned out to be like this!
In this way, admittedly, Luo Yan and Xiang Nan, they both killed their own mothers like themselves?
Mu Yu set off a monstrous wave in his heart.
The source that caused him to become an orphan was actually himself, and it was also the power of the Spirit Lord Mu Youmeng in his body.
If he was a normal child, his mother would not be killed, his mother would grow up with him, and then take him to find Mu Zhexing.
Mu Yu thought that Zhu Qiuqi left him because he loved her husband more than she loved him, but now he understood that in fact, Zhu Qiuqi felt that she was about to die soon, and wanted to see her husband for the last time before she died, entrust Mu Yu's whereabouts to her husband, and go to find out Mu Tianhe's intentions.
She was worried that if Mu Tianhe didn't recognize Mu Yu's grandson, she would be killed by Mu Tianhe if she took Mu Yu with her. She knew that she would not live long and that Muyu would have nowhere to settle in Qingshui City, so she could only put it in Liushui Village and let the village chief take care of it.
Zhu Qiuqi went to Mu's house in Qingshui City alone, wanting to tell her husband about it secretly, but unfortunately she didn't dare to say it in front of Mu Tianhe, and she couldn't tell her husband about her son's whereabouts.
Zhu Qiuqi thought that he could hold on, but he was still killed by the lack of wood attribute physique, this kind of death came too suddenly, and Zhu Qiuqi was not prepared at all.
"I'm sorry. Mu Yu muttered.
He had always been haunted by his mother's abandonment of him, but now he realized that many things were never as simple as they seemed on the surface.
"I'm sorry for what? It's right to say we're sorry, isn't it?" Mu Zhixing sighed, "When your mother and I met, she told me that she hoped that you could be with the person you liked, instead of returning to the Mu family and becoming a victim of the family like me. ”
Mu Yu was silent, he misunderstood his mother.
Zhu Qiuqi left him in Liushui Village not only to protect him, but also to hope that he could choose his own life.
Mu Yu did choose his own life, and he liked the people he met in this life who cared about him.
The life of a child chosen by fate is so difficult.
The evening breeze rustled through the willows, only the crickets chirped one after another, and a dark cloud drifted in the sky at some point, obscuring the moon.
There was no more talk in the courtyard, and there was silence again.
Mu Zhexing was immersed in the memories of Zhu Qiuqi, and Mu Yu was in a state of confusion.
Mu Yu didn't know what to think of this matter, because Evil Immortal once said that the five of them were born to be people who lacked four of the five elements, and they would die soon after birth.
The five Yumon Spirit Lords chose their constitution and attached themselves to them to keep them alive.
But Mu Yu now understands that if he survives, his mother will have to pay the price of her life, which is a very cruel choice.
Regardless of whether Mu Tianhe broke up Mu Zhexing and his wife at the beginning, Zhu Qiuqi and Mu Yu were destined to die, and it was only because of the invasion of Mu Youmeng's Spirit Lord that Mu Yu happened to survive.
Mu Yu didn't know who to hate anymore, maybe his existence was a mistake in the first place.
"Don't mention the past, let him pass! You live well for your mother, we need to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Mu family." Mu Zhexing sighed.
"I'll live for my mother. ”
Mu Yu pursed his lips, his current life was exchanged for his life by Zhu Qiuqi, his mother's life existed in his body, he really wanted to live well.
But then he thought, how can the life he carries on his body be so simple?
When the Stygian Grass was about to engulf him, Daddy Deadwood used "Blood Protection to Cover the Sky" to exchange his life for Mu Yu, and also prevented him from being persecuted by the White Realm, and he also had the life of Daddy Deadwood flowing in him.
With so many people protecting Mu Yu in various ways, there was no reason why he shouldn't work hard.
"I will. Mu Yu repeated silently.
He is a beloved child, fate plays tricks on him, but many people are helping him.
It was late at night, and the wind blew harder.
Mu Zhexing suddenly picked up Mu Yu's wine glass and drank it all.
"You said you quit drinking. ”
"I saw her shadow in you, and I wanted to get drunk one last time. ”
Get drunk one last time in front of your son, and then you won't get drunk again.
"I'll get you drunk once. A wooden wine glass appeared in Mu Yu's hand.
