Star City.
Gu family.
Kong Baihe looked at the lamp beside Xiao Pangqiu's bed, his expression becoming more solemn.
At this moment, Mingzhu walked in, and after checking the body of the little fat ball, he also looked at the lamp, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Where is Gu Yuan? Is there no news yet?"
"Yes." Kong Baihe said, "I could still contact you by phone before, but now, the phone is turned off. I guess I am so busy that I don't even know that my phone is out of battery."
At this juncture, Gu Yuan couldn't be contacted. There must be more important things to do, and it was definitely not hiding because he was afraid of facing him.
"This is already the sixth day." Mingzhu said, "Tomorrow is the last day. If Gu Yuan doesn't come back, we may not even see him for the last time."
Kong Baihe nodded, understood what Mingzhu meant, and immediately said: "Senior Mingzhu, don't worry, I will find a way to find him now!"
"Yes." Mingzhu nodded slightly, stretched out her hand, gently touched the little fat ball's face, and smiled bitterly, "My poor child..."
As a pharmacist, Mingzhu likes this talent very much. It is indeed a very fulfilling thing to master the ability to cure diseases, save people, and even regenerate a broken arm.
But at the same time, as a pharmacist, when there is nothing you can do, the feeling of despair can put the whole person in a very depressed state.
Just like a doctor, even if he tries his best, he can only watch the patient lose all vital signs in the end.
The feeling of despair is indescribable.
At this moment, the little fat ball suddenly opened his eyes.
"Guo Guo..."
Mingzhu stroked his forehead and said softly: "Gu Yuan hasn't come back yet."
The little fat ball's eyes rolled, and there was still a bit of confusion in his eyes.
After not finding Gu Yuan, he nodded lightly.
Just a little regret can be seen in his eyes.
The little fat ball now should really want to see Gu Yuan.
"Little Fat Ball, you can sleep for a while longer and I'll ask you to eat later, okay?" Mingzhu said softly.
"Um……"
Just when Mingzhu and Kong Baihe stood up to go out, the little fat ball suddenly spoke again.
"Aunt Mingzhu..."
Mingzhu stopped and turned to look at him with questioning eyes.
"Aunt Mingzhu, I think... I want to go home, is that okay?"
Mingzhu was stunned for a moment when she heard this and looked at Kong Baihe subconsciously.
Kong Baihe quickly walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Is this place making you feel uncomfortable?"
"I just...want to go home." Little Fatty Ball said softly.
Kong Baihe's expression changed again and again.
He was wondering if Little Fatty Ball had already felt something when he suddenly asked to go home.
Just as he was thinking, Little Fatty Ball had already spoken.
These words instantly stunned Kong Baihe and Mingzhu.
"I know, I'm going to die! But... I don't want to be here, I want to go home..." Little Fat Ball Qiqi Aiai said.
Mingzhu and Kong Baihe looked at each other, and for a moment, they didn't know what to say.
After a while, Mingzhu gently held Little Fatty's fleshy arm.
"Okay...Aunt Mingzhu will take you home."
Kong Baihe was shocked when he heard Mingzhu's words.
"Senior, is this...is this okay?"
"Nothing is wrong, let's go there together." Mingzhu could probably understand Xiaopangqiu's inner thoughts.
He is not afraid of death.
He just wanted to go home.
Even if he died, he should die in the place where he grew up.
On the way back, the little fat ball was lying in Mingzhu's arms, his face was pale and his lips were trembling slightly.
"Aunt Mingzhu."
"Huh? What's wrong?" Mingzhu asked softly.
"I heard that if someone dies in the family, the house will be worthless, right?"
Hearing this, Mingzhu's heart stung sharply.
"There is no such thing. Gu Yuan's second uncle and second aunt... won't care about this."
"But the second uncle and the second aunt are so nice..." Xiao Pangqiu added, "They don't care, but I'm afraid they will suddenly think of me in the future and be sad."
"Is this what you're worried about?" Mingzhu's voice changed a little.
"No, I want to go home too." Little Fatty forced a smile.
Mingzhu was silent for a long time, turned to look out the window, and gently patted the little fat ball on the back.
"There's still a while. Go to sleep and sleep for a while."
"Um……"
When the little fat ball woke up, he was already back in the yard in the countryside.
While the little fat ball was sleeping, the second uncle and the second aunt had already tidied up the yard.
And during this process, everyone was worried about one thing.
They were afraid that when Little Fat Ball woke up, they hoped to see their grandfather as soon as possible.
But what surprised them was that until they woke up, the little fat ball didn't make any noise to see grandpa, or even ask.
The only request he made was to take a walk in the yard.
Of course Kong Baihe was willing to agree, but he was worried about Little Fatty Ball's current physical condition, so he could only look at Mingzhu. After Mingzhu nodded and said it was okay, he felt relieved, took Little Fatty Ball's hand, and Walking around the clean yard.
When the little fat ball fell asleep again, the second uncle also became anxious.
"Xiao Kong, can't you contact Xiao Yuanzi now?"
Kong Baihe frowned and said immediately: "Second uncle, don't worry, I will find a solution now!"
"Yeah." Gu Jianshan nodded worriedly.
He watched Gu Yuan grow up, and he knew better than anyone else that if Gu Yuan could not come back in time, the little fat ball would be very sad, and Gu Yuan would live with guilt forever.
No matter what the reason was, Gu Jianshan didn't want this to happen.
night.
The second uncle and second aunt lived in Qin Xiao's previous house, while Mingzhu still stayed with Xiao Pangqiu.
The stars were exceptionally bright tonight, and the haze that had been hanging overhead for several days finally dissipated.
By the next day, the sun, which had been off for several days, finally hung in the sky. Looking up, the sky was blue and cloudless.
However, although the haze in the sky disappeared, the haze in the hearts of the second uncle and second aunt did not dissipate.
Looking at the life-extending lamp that was about to go out, the second uncle and the second aunt felt as if they had lost their souls.
They all know it.
Just before dawn, the little fat ball vomited blood again and passed out.
Mingzhu, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly grabbed the little fat ball's arm and finally stabilized his situation again.
It's just that the flame of the life-extending lamp is only the size of a soybean at the moment. Not to mention a gust of wind, even if you get closer and take a breath, the flame will be extinguished.
Kong Baihe rushed back, not only him, but Zhou Zhen and others also came.
There are also stars like rain.
Seeing the little fat ball's current appearance, Xing Ruyu suddenly felt heartbroken.
During this time in Star City, it was better to say that she had been taking care of Little Fatty Ball, but it was better to say that Little Fatty Ball had been accompanying her.
Just when Xing Ruyu shed tears, Little Fatty Ball also opened his eyes again.
He looked at the room full of people, with a guilty expression on his face.
"I'm sorry... I've caused you trouble again..."
The second aunt covered her face and was speechless.
The first time she saw Little Fatty Ball, she was full of affection for this sensible child, and even more felt distressed.
He lives in this world, but seems to be incompatible with it. He always looks cautious, fearing that he will suddenly do or say something wrong and offend others.
Even if he was about to die, he didn't want to die in the Gu family, for fear of... bad luck.
"Little Fat Ball..." The second aunt gently pulled Little Fat Ball's finger, leaned down, and said softly, "If you could live a more selfish life, you should be much happier, right?"
The little fat ball slowly raised his other arm and wiped the tears on his second aunt's face with difficulty.
"Second Aunt, I want to go out and bask in the sun..."
"Okay, okay, second aunt will take you out!"
