Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 781
These people are like those heartless children.

No, they are worse than children.

Xiao Miaotong, who stayed by Xiao Jue's bed for three days and slept for less than four hours in total, was extremely exhausted. She wanted to go and sit on the small stool beside the bed to rest for a while, but who would have expected this move? In a blink of an eye, he caught sight of the old man on the couch who was about to wake up faintly.

"Grandfather, you're awake!" Xiao Miaotong was overjoyed to see the old matriarch's eyes open, and all the tiredness in his body was swept away in an instant.

She was so excited that for a moment she couldn't care less about her name of "the model of a noble daughter from a noble family in the capital". Gu Zi lifted up her skirt and strode to Xiao Jue's side, carefully touching the old man's forehead.

"It's okay, I don't sweat much, and it doesn't matter if I sit up—grandfather, are you okay? Do you want your granddaughter to help you sit up?" The girl nervously clenched her sleeves and opened her mouth. Spit out a bunch of words.

The old lady shook her head slightly when she heard the words, and then gave a kindly smile tremblingly: "Tongtong..."

"Good boy."

He had been in a coma for three whole days, and now his voice was still a little hoarse, Xiao Miaotong was startled for a moment when he heard this, then hurriedly got up and poured a glass of warm water in a hurry.

"Oh, grandpa, look at my useless brain, I forgot that your throat must be very dry when you just woke up. Come on, let me help you, take a few sips of warm water to moisten your throat first." Holding a teacup Xiao Miaotong smirked and laughed at herself, and then carefully supported the old man's neck so that he could drink the water in the glass.

After pouring the glass of water into his stomach, Xiao Jue's throat really eased a lot. He lay on his back and slowly regained some strength, and then took advantage of the time when Xiao Miaotong turned around and put down the glass, he tried his best to prop up his body.

Xiao Miaotong turned her head and saw Old Madam Xiao leaning against the head of the bed, she was so frightened that she almost knocked over the tea bowls on the table with one sleeve.

"Grandfather, you...why did you get up by yourself?" The girl abandoned the teacup on the table and hurried back to Babu's bedside.

For some reason, when she saw her grandfather like this, she always thought of the phrase "returning to the light" for no reason. This realization made her flustered mind even more flustered, and her eyes turned red uncontrollably.

"Why didn't you wait for your granddaughter to help you?" Xiao Miaotong lowered her head and muttered softly, the moisture in her eyes covered half of her pupils in an instant, Xiao Jue waved her hand lightly to her when she saw this: "It's okay Yes, Tongtong."

"This is nothing." The girl pursed her lips, but the old master's smile became more gentle after hearing this: "It's really all right, Tongtong—grandfather doesn't have much time. "

"Nonsense, I see that your body is clearly still strong, there is not much time left." Xiao Miaotong raised her head abruptly in response, two lines of hot tears rolled out of her eyes uncontrollably, the old man couldn't help but smiled when he saw this Eyes: "Silly boy."

"Grandfather's body, of course, grandfather himself is the clearest."

"I don't have much time. When I get up now, I only have two words to say to Tongtong."

"What's more...they've been waiting for me for a long time. After grandfather and Tongtong finished talking, it's time to go to the place where grandfather should have been in the morning!" Xiao Jue said, raising his hand to touch the girl At the top of the hair, "Good boy, don't worry."

"Grandpa has been waiting for this day for a long time."

He was a person who should have died decades ago, and after living in this world for so many years, he was already exhausted by now.

——He has already had enough of the days when people are not human, ghosts are not ghosts, neither can see the light, nor belong to the dark days.

"...they?" Xiao Miaotong was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and asked subconsciously, "Who are they?"

"They... They are things that have existed in this world since the beginning." The old lady grinned.

He raised his eyes and looked at the countless wandering ghosts who were sitting or standing, sometimes still or moving, and looked at the cold-faced ghost guard hidden behind all the ghosts, with only a trace of figure showing, wandering in the world The heart that had been held for decades unexpectedly settled down at this moment.

It's like a wanderer has finally found his home, and it's like a lost person has finally found his home.

Immediately, he no longer has to continue to be this invisible grudge wandering in the world of mortals.

"Tongtong, let's ignore them for now." Xiao Jue shook his head, and slowly retracted his hand on the girl's head. He looked at the slim girl in front of him, and smiled like a child who got candy——

"In the blink of an eye, Tongtong has grown so big." The old lady Fu said, stretching out her hand to draw out the size of a baby's swaddle, "Grandfather remembers that when Tongtong was born, it was only this big, like Like a kitten."

"This meeting has turned into a big girl who can start a family and start a business."

"But the girl who has grown up is not happy—" Xiao Jue raised her head as she spoke, with undisguised love and pity in her eyes, "Tong Tong, you are always too obedient, too Pay attention to what they put on you."

"It's not good, it's going to make you feel stuffy and depressed for the rest of your life."

"—Grandfather listened too much to your great-grandfather and great-grandmother back then, so grandfather has not been happy all his life."

Xiao Miaotong couldn't help crying when she heard this, she covered her eyes and said tremblingly: "I know, I know, grandfather, don't say anything..."

"No, I want to say, Tongtong, if I don't say it now, my grandfather won't have the chance to tell you again." The old man kindly and firmly pulled down Xiao Miaotong's hand covering his eyes, "Tongtong, grandfather hopes that you Live happily and happily every day.”

"Good boy, do what you want to do and what you have to do."

"Don't get bogged down by things that don't matter anymore, and don't go the same way as your grandfather—"

"But grandfather, I'm from the Xiao family... Am I qualified to do that?" Xiao Miaotong cried with tears in her eyes - she is from the Xiao family, and all she has been exposed to since she was a child is those damn complicated rules and regulations. Etiquette, and the breathless "Xiao's honor".

Does she really have the right to do whatever she wants?

"Of course." With a smile on Xiao Jue's face, he once again raised his palm to touch the top of the girl's hair, but this time his arm was extremely weak for no reason, "Tongtong is a smart child, so naturally Qualified and able to do what you like.”

"The glory of the Xiao family should not be tied to one or a few specific people, that would be too tiring and too ruthless."

Just like him, his surname is Xiao, his name is Jue, and his character is Chengbi. Throughout his life, he was eventually polished by Xiao forcibly into a seemingly flawless piece of bi——

After all, he lost himself early.

"Good boy, go, don't be scruples."

"After the grandfather's words are finished, you should go to bed with peace of mind."

"Don't be sad, this is what grandfather always wanted..."

The old man lowered his head and murmured softly, his voice became weaker and weaker, and the strength in his hands became weaker and weaker. At a certain moment, his arm on top of the girl's head slid down softly, and he followed suit. breathe.

Xiao Miaotong suddenly couldn't cry anymore.

　I cry and go to see you
