The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 22 Grandpa is critically ill (2)

22
Mi Congcong came out of the uncle's yard with his clothes in his arms, only to realize that Qingshi Town had sent a carriage over, and the original owner's mother Liang's natal family was in Qingshi Town.

After getting into the carriage, Mi Congcong had time to think about other things.

There are too many coincidences, right?

The uncle just said that he would take her to see "Grandpa", and then he received the news that he was dying.

Does this mean that she will never be able to figure out why she can see foreign objects that ordinary people cannot see, and what is the warning of that strange dream?
"Don't worry, Master and the old man will be fine." Seeing her bowing her head in silence, Mi Zhiqing thought she was worried, so he couldn't help but comfort him, but he couldn't stop worrying.

Master's health has always been very good, and he has only passed half a month. Why did he suddenly become critically ill?
The Liang family lived in the town, and it was a courtyard with two entrances. At this time, the Liang family was brightly lit, exuding a heavy and mournful atmosphere inside and out.

Before the carriage stopped, Mi Zhiqing jumped out of the carriage and rushed in, and Mi Congcong quickly followed.

"Father, senior brother is here, senior brother is here!" Seeing Mi Zhian, Liang Hanxing, that is, Mi Congcong's uncle, suddenly had a backbone, calling his father on the bed softly.

Father has been waiting for his senior brother to come over, presumably he has something important to say to him.

Old Liang, whose face was full of twilight on the bed, struggled to open his eyes, but when he saw the person behind Mi Zhiqing, his eyes widened and he struggled to get up.

"Master, it's good for you to lie down, just lie down." Mi Zhiqing suppressed the grief in his heart, and wanted to make him lie down.

"Everyone get out!" Mr. Liang stared at Mi Congcong firmly, shouting tremblingly as if exhausting all his strength.

Seeing the old man who hadn't had a drop of water for two days suddenly sat up, no one in the room was happy, but even more sad.

This is the so-called flashback, right?
"Get out!" Liang Lao raised his hand and pointed at Mi Congcong tremblingly: "You stay!"

"Master..." Mi Zhiqing looked at his master worriedly.

"You too... Cough..." Mr. Liang held his breath and said a few words, his chest seemed to be blocked by something, and he coughed desperately.

"Okay, okay, let's all go out, Master, don't get excited." Mi Zhiqing was worried about irritating his master, so he gave Mi Congcong a wink: "Congcong, take good care of your grandfather."

Mi Congcong's face turned pale from the stare of Mr. Liang, and he subconsciously wanted to run away.

She didn't know if Mr. Liang had discovered something, but when she heard what her uncle said, she hesitated to respond.

However, Mi Zhiqing and the others were all focused on Mr. Liang, and no one thought about whether Mi Congcong would like to stay or not. Before Mi Congcong refused, they left the house one after another and closed the door behind them.

The room was so quiet that a needle could be heard. Mi Congcong was beating his heart. Seeing Mr. Liang staring at him closely, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout: "Grandpa..."

Mr. Liang didn't speak, just stared at Mi Congcong. After an unknown amount of time, he finally couldn't support himself and fell on the bed.

Mi Congcong was startled, and instinctively rushed over to help him: "Are you okay? What if they didn't come in?"

Facing the concern from the bottom of her eyes, Mr. Liang was stunned for a while, and finally closed his eyes and murmured: "Forget it, forget it, it's all fate!"

Mi Congcong bit his lips anxiously, knowing that the old man noticed her strangeness: "Will you let uncle take me in?"

Mr. Liang opened his eyes in astonishment, and suddenly felt annoyed and funny: "You are not a monster, what are you doing?"

Mi Congcong looked at Mr. Liang in surprise, isn't he planning to expose her meaning?

Elder Liang said again: "I said at the beginning that although Zhiqing is strong enough to suppress ordinary evil spirits, he is not talented enough to be suitable for learning mystical arts."

"Is that why the uncle recruited the wrong soul?" Mi Congcong didn't understand why Mr. Liang suddenly told her this, but when he heard him say that the uncle was not talented enough, he remembered what the original owner of the soul said.

Elder Liang looked at her with a complicated expression: "It's not about this."

Mi Congcong looked at Mr. Liang suspiciously, waiting for him to clarify his doubts.

"Sit down, let's have a good talk." Old Liang said kindly to Mi Congcong as the stern look faded from his eyes.

At the same time, Liang Shi, Mi Congcong's biological mother, who had just returned home after staying in front of Liang's hospital bed for two days and one night, returned to the main courtyard without even changing her dirty clothes when she heard that her daughter had arrived. .

"Brother, where's Cong Cong?" Mrs. Liang came to Mi Zhiqing and asked nervously.

Her daughter was very worried about her remarriage, and even cut off contact with the Liang family. The Liang family hadn't seen her daughter for two years, and she couldn't believe it when she first heard her daughter coming.

"Talk to Master inside." Mi Zhiqing was full of sympathy for his junior sister or former younger sibling.

It is said that the beauty is unlucky, the younger sister is beautiful, and the family is good, but she happens to meet his useless second brother!
At the beginning, he didn't approve of this marriage. It was the old master who said that the junior sister's female life was male, and only the second brother could bear it. If the junior sister married someone else, she would become a widow sooner or later, so he let go.

It's just that he didn't expect that the master had already calculated that it was impossible for the junior sister and the second brother to stay together forever.

"Uncle, mother, is my sister really here?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came in a hurry, his face trying to hide his excitement.

He knew that his grandfather was seriously ill and he shouldn't show his joy, but he couldn't control himself.

My younger sister said two years ago that she would sever ties with them and the Liang family. Now that she is able to visit grandpa, does it mean that her anger has subsided?Are you relieved about your mother's remarriage?
"Here, I'm talking to your grandfather." Liang's heart was sour and astringent.

Regardless of whether her daughter recognizes her or not, she is content to come and see her father for the last time.

Half an hour later, Mi Congcong opened the door with a pale face.

Grandpa solved her confusion, but she felt even heavier...

"Congcong—"

Liang Shi and Mi Dagang's mother and son stepped forward at the same time, looking at her nervously.

Mi Congcong raised his head, saw Mi Dagang's familiar yet unfamiliar young face, staggered, and threw himself forward.

"Be careful." Mi Dagang hastily reached out to support her.

"elder brother--"

Her own brother, the one in the dream who silently protected her, wanted to wake her up, and was killed by Zhong Jingchao in order to save her from the swamp!

"Congcong~~" Hearing the long-lost "Brother", Mi Dagang's eyes turned red.

He thought that his sister would never recognize him in this life.

"Brother, I'm sorry." Mi Congcong blurted out, and he couldn't tell whether the "I'm sorry" was from himself or from the original master.

She thought she had only one cousin before, but now she knows that she has a real brother, but she left Mi's house with her mother.

Mida just restrained her emotions, touched her head, and smiled: "Silly girl."

This feeling of being cherished by the loved ones made Mi Congcong feel less heavy in her heart. She looked at Mrs. Liang and called softly, "Mom."

No matter how strong Liang is, she is a woman after all. Her daughter's clear phoenix eyes no longer contain the hatred of the past. Once the shackles in her heart were lifted, she finally hugged Mi Congcong and burst into tears: "Congcong, my daughter, mother, I'm sorry!" You, mother, I'm sorry for you..."
