As soon as the car stopped, Mu Ning saw several servants surrounding the entrance of the ancestral hall.
Guoguo cried loudly on the side.
At the same time, there was also the scream of a cat.
Mu Ning secretly complained, and quickly got out of the car to check the situation.
Several servants were holding wooden sticks and beating them hard against a sack.
"stop!"
The servants stopped when they heard the sound.
Mu Ning pushed the person away, rushed in and untied the sack.
Xiaomi was already dying. Her white fur was dirty and stained with mud and blood. When she saw Mu Ning, she was so weak that she "whimpered".
Mu Ning's heart trembled, and he quickly took the little cat out, turning to look at them coldly, "This is my cat, who told you to do anything to it!"
The servants looked at each other.
"Just tell me if I ask you."
A low, cold voice sounded.
When the servants saw Gu Zhiyin coming, they trembled in fear and lowered their heads and said, "Yes... it's this little beast that caused a big trouble. The old lady ordered us to put him to death."
execution...
Cover it with a sack and beat it with a stick?
If she hadn't arrived in time, Xiaomi would have been beaten to death.
Mu Ning asked calmly, "What trouble did it get into?"
"This little beast ran into the ancestral hall, knocked over the candle stand, and burned most of the memorial tablets of our ancestors..."
"Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise the entire ancestral hall would have burned down!"
Mu Ning's face turned pale after hearing this.
It was indeed a big disaster.
The Gu Ancestral Hall has a history of hundreds of years and enshrines the tablets of all the martyrs of the Gu family, which have been passed down from generation to generation.
When Mu Ning was young, the Gu family didn't allow her to go near this place.
But why did the cat run into the ancestral hall?
"Send the cat to a nearby pet hospital first, and leave the rest to me."
Gu Zhiyin spoke in a low voice and stretched out his hand to pull Mu Ning up.
Mu Ning glanced at him and nodded.
Gu Zhiyin took her to find a nearby pet hospital.
When we got to the car, Xiaomi started to vomit blood.
There were countless injuries on its body, and Mu Ning didn't dare to hold it hard.
Xiaomi's breath was already very weak, but she kept looking at Mu Ning, shedding tears, and her eyes seemed to have a lot to say.
It was like a look of survival, regarding Mu Ning as the only hope, and also like a very sorry look, saying sorry to her.
Mu Ning's heart twisted tightly into a ball.
She raised her head, her eyes a little red, "Uncle Gu, will Xiaomi die?"
Gu Zhiyin glanced at the cat and realized that he probably wouldn't survive.
But he didn't want to make Mu Ning sad.
He held Mu Ning's hand and said softly: "No, life is very tenacious. It doesn't want to leave you yet. You have to believe in it."
Mu Ning's eyes were moist, and he lowered his head to comfort Xiaomi, "It's okay, Xiaomi, since I raised you and I am your master, I won't let anything happen to you."
Xiaomi nuzzled her hand with the tip of her nose.
Mu Ning took Xiaomi to the pet hospital, and the doctor examined Xiaomi.
Gu Zhiyin asked her to go out and wait.
"Sir, this...these internal organs are all broken, and there is no way to save him..."
Gu Zhiyin looked at Xiaomi who was breathing her last breath and was silent for a moment.
What he was thinking about was not how pitiful Xiaomi was, but Mu Ning's face.
Think about how sad her little face will be when she knows the news.
"Give it an infusion and try to delay death."
"And don't tell her."
Gu Zhiyin only gave a few instructions, turned around and went out.
Mu Ning saw him coming out and immediately stood up, "Uncle Gu, how is Xiaomi?"
Gu Zhiyin looked at her with a deep look.
After a long while, he said calmly, "It's nothing serious, I just need surgery."
Mu Ning breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could be rescued.
"Can I go in and have a look at it before the operation?"
She raised her little head and looked at Gu Zhiyin longingly.
Gu Zhiyin felt nervous and raised his hand to touch her head, "Well, let's go and see it."
Mu Ning opened the door and went in. Gu Zhiyin looked back at her, his eyes darkening.
The cell phone in his pocket rang. It was a call from his old house. He went out to answer it with a sullen face.
…
After Mu Ning finished reading Xiaomi, Gu Zhiyin also finished answering the phone.
She walked out of the hospital and found Gu Zhiyin standing at the door smoking.
"Uncle Gu, Xiaomi is going to have an operation. The hospital said that after the operation, she will let me know when she can visit."
Gu Zhiyin said lightly "Yeah".
Mu Ning thought his reaction was a bit strange, "Uncle Gu, you don't seem to be happy... are you worried?"
"No."
Gu Zhiyin looked at the street in the distance and was silent for a long time. His voice was a little hoarse and he said, "Ning Ning, I'll take you back to the city."
Mu Ning was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react, "What's wrong? Why is it so sudden?"
"I'll be very busy next time, so I won't have time to spend time with you."
Mu Ning thought for a while, "Is it about your mother's grave relocation?"
"Um."
"If this is the case, I want to stay. After your mother is buried, I will go with you to worship her."
"No need for now, I will pick you up when the matter is over."
"Uncle Gu, this is different from what we agreed before."
Mu Ning tilted his head and looked at him, "Why, why did you suddenly send me back early?"
Gu Zhiyin avoided her eyes and said, "Aren't you unable to stay in the old house anymore and are you clamoring to go home?"
"I really want to go home, because I'm scared to live there alone at night. I'll go hungry if I get up late. They don't like me, and they make things difficult for me at the smallest things. It's really difficult for me to move around in my old house..." Mu Ning Wrinkled face.
"But I don't want you to be here alone. The Gu family respects you on the surface, but in fact they are not good to you. I want to stay with you."
Mu Ning went to hold his hand and found that his hand was so cold.
Gu Zhiyin withdrew his hand and said in a cold voice, "I don't need your company."
"...Uncle Gu, what's wrong?"
He raised his hand and took a puff of cigarette, the smoke covering the anxiety in his eyes, "Aren't you feeling uncomfortable? Are you going back to the city to have fun with Lu Xinting?"
"It's very uncomfortable, but I want to stay. I can endure that for you..."
"Why do you have to endure it for me!"
Mu Ning's unfinished words were interrupted by him impatiently.
"Return as soon as I ask you to. Why are you so stubborn! Can you stop being so stubborn? Can you be obedient?!"
He suddenly yelled at her.
Mu Ning turned pale and closed his mouth.
Gu Zhiyin took a deep breath, closed her eyes, put out the cigarette, and pulled her into his arms, "I'm sorry, Ning Ning, I was mean to you just now."
Mu Ning looked at him with red eyes.
He lowered his head and said, "You will be bored alone in the old house. I am also afraid that you will conflict with them. I have no time to take care of you. I am afraid that I will not pay attention to you and you will be bullied."
Gu Zhiyin held her face and begged in a hoarse voice, "Go back, okay?"
It turns out that she is here, causing him such difficulty.
Mu Ning nodded, "Okay."
Gu Zhiyin hugged her tightly and asked someone to send her back.
At night, the more Mu Ning thought about it, the more something was wrong.
She thought Gu Zhiyin was so strange.
He had always been patient and tolerant of her, and there was no way he would suddenly lose control and yell at her.
Mu Ning couldn't get through to his phone number and felt very uneasy.
Did something happen in the old house...
