The bright moon hangs in the sky, covering the earth with a layer of gauze, so light.
The peaceful Mu Family Courtyard is like a dragon that is gradually recovering, with an indescribable aura slowly gathering.
That was the atmosphere of unity of the Mu family. They wanted to bring the Mu family back up and gain a firm foothold in Qingshui City.
Mu Yu was sitting alone in the yard, with a jug of wine in front of him.
After coming to Qingshui City, he really fell in love with the feeling of drinking.
It was a very strange feeling. He used to occasionally drink with Cai Lie. Cai Lie was an alcoholic, but he was not. He didn't like drinking before.
Mu Zhexing sat opposite him silently, looking at his son with mixed feelings in his heart.
His long-lost son was suddenly found in this way, which made his 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 was.
Mu Zhexing wanted to know how Mu Yu got here all these years, but he didn't dare to ask because he wasn't around when Mu Yu needed him most.
He felt that he was not qualified to ask about Mu Yu's past.
"Do you want to drink?" Mu Yu broke the silence.
"I quit." Mu Zhexing shook his head.
Mu Yu poured himself a glass: "But I like drinking recently."
Mu Zhexing smiled slightly and said, "You look very similar to her. I felt it before the first day you came to Mu Mansion."
"Is that why you came to sleep in my yard that day?" Mu Yu asked.
On the first day after arriving, Mu Zhexing lay silently in front of Mu Yu's room door holding a wine bottle, without even saying hello.
"I just wanted to make sure. I thought it was just a coincidence. Plus, Xiaoxin trusts strangers too easily, so I don't want anything to happen to Xiaoxin," Mu Zhexing said.
The moonlight was very quiet, and it illuminated the two people very peacefully.
"Do you want to know about your mother?" Mu Zhexing asked.
Mu Yu was silent. There was no 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 when Mu Yu was sleeping and did not say any goodbye to Mu Yu.
From then on, he followed the village chief and had no idea about this mother he had never met.
Maybe, but it will never be missing.
"You tell me." 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 circumstances would make a mother abandon her son to meet her husband alone?
Mu Zhexing could see that his son had a grudge against his mother, but he still talked about it on his own, as if to tell Mu Yu, and also to himself.
Thinking of that woman, Mu Zhexing's face smiled.
"Qiu Qi is a woman from an ordinary family, with a kind heart and a high talent for cultivation. When I was young, I loved drinking, and I drank in a way that did not rely on spiritual power to protect myself. I liked the feeling of being drunk.
, so I don’t use my spiritual power to force out the smell of alcohol. If I don’t use my spiritual power to protect myself, I will get drunk like an ordinary person. I happened to be drunk in front of her house that day, and was kindly taken in by her for the night."
Mu Zhexing showed a nostalgic look on his face: "She used her spiritual power to drive away the smell of alcohol from me. I was very angry when I woke up, but she grabbed my ears and warned me not to drink again in the future.
Drunk. Only then did I realize that when I was drunk, I vomited all over her house, even all my clothes were dirty, and she washed them in the end.
It was the first time I met her, and she taught me a lesson, but the way she taught me was really interesting, so I secretly wrote down her home address, and then deliberately got drunk several times.
At her doorstep."
"Are you a scoundrel?" A smile appeared on Mu Yu's lips.
"Well, every time I got drunk, she would take me in, and then she would grab my ears and warn me not to get drunk. As soon as we got back and forth, I fell in love with her, and we were together like this. With her.
After we got together, I rarely drank because she didn't like the way I drank. Later, we had you."
Mu Zhexing met Zhu Qiuqi through drinking, but he 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 was married to the Yan family. I didn't dare to tell your grandpa, because I knew your grandpa would never allow me to marry a girl from an ordinary family.
We were together. We were both in the Nascent Soul stage at that time, so we agreed to leave Qingshui City, and I chose to escape from the marriage. I secretly dug up a piece of bluestone. This is the tradition of our Mu family, and every Mu family must have this piece of bluestone."
"But dad found out and went to arrest us personally. The two of us kept running away from Qingshui City, but we were eventually caught up. I begged him to let us go and told him that we already had our own child, but because
My escaped marriage caused a big business deal between the Mu family and the Yan family to fall through.
My father was disgraced in front of the Yan family. He was furious and wanted to abort my child with his own hands. I had no choice but to let Qiu Qi escape alone, but I was captured by my father."
A trace of anger appeared on Mu Zhexing's face, but it quickly passed away.
Now that everything has been settled, there is nothing to pursue. Mu Tianhe also regretted it back then. He was just angry. He did not really want to kill his grandson, but just to threaten Mu Zhexing to go back.
"Where are you fleeing to?" Mu Yu asked.
"Near Lanxi City, there is a remote area to the north of Lanxi City, called the Moyun Mountains. I only know this, and I don't know where Qiu Qi took you. After I came back, he imprisoned me.
He wanted me to inherit the family business, but I refused and resisted him by getting drunk.
It wasn't until two years later, when Qiu Qi gave birth to you and you were two years old, that 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 and chooses to abandon me to see you?"
Abandoned his son and went to meet his husband.
Mu Yu still couldn't figure this out.
Mu Zhexing shook his head: "When she met me, I noticed something was wrong with her. She seemed to be missing something, but I couldn't tell what it was. Later, my father told me that he invited Danding to
An alchemist was sent to diagnose her. The alchemist said that Qiu Qi's body was seriously lacking wood in the five elements. The energy of the wood attribute in her body seemed to have opened a gap and was constantly being lost. This was very abnormal.
I don't know what went wrong."
The Five Elements are seriously lacking wood!
It was like a thunder exploding in Muyu's mind!
Mu Yu opened his mouth wide, and he suddenly understood something.
The person who killed his mother was probably not anyone 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 Muyoumeng demon in his body. It was most likely that he destroyed the balance of the five elements in Zhu Qiuqi!
Mu Yu thought of Qiao Xue. The woman he saw in Qiao Xue's memory was not Qiao Xue's biological mother, but her stepmother. Her mother passed away a long time ago. Qiao Xue told Mu Yu that it was her
Killed her mother to death, so that’s what happened!
So, Chengyan, Luo Shang and Xiang Nan, they all killed their own mothers just like him?
Mu Yu's heart was filled with huge waves.
The source that caused him to become an orphan was actually himself, and it was also the power of the Muyu Meng Spirit Master in his body.
If he was a normal child, his mother would not have been killed, she would have grown up with him and then brought him to Mu Zhexing.
Mu Yu thought that Zhu Qiuqi left him because he loved her husband more than she loved him. Now he understands that Zhu Qiuqi actually felt that she would pass away soon at that time. She wanted to see her husband one last time before she died and learn about Mu Yu's whereabouts.
Entrust it to her husband and go find out Mu Tianhe's thoughts.
She was worried that if Mu Tianhe did not recognize Mu Yu as his grandson, Mu Tianhe would kill him if he brought Mu Yu with him. She knew that she would not live long and Mu Yu would have nowhere to live in Qingshui City, so she could only be placed in Liushui Village.
, let the village chief take care of it on your behalf.
Zhu Qiuqi went to Mu's house in Qingshui City alone, wanting to tell her husband about this secretly, but unfortunately she did not dare to tell her in front of Mu Tianhe, nor could she tell her husband about her son's whereabouts.
Zhu Qiuqi thought she could hold on, but she was still killed by her lack of wood attributes. This kind of death came so suddenly that Zhu Qiuqi was not prepared at all.
"I'm sorry." Mu Yu murmured.
He has always been brooding about his mother abandoning him, but now he realizes that many things are never as simple as they seem.
"What are you sorry for? It's us who should say sorry, isn't it?" Mu Zhexing sighed, "When your mother and I met, she told me that she hoped you could be with the person you like, not like me.
Return to the Mu family and become a victim of the family."
Mu Yu was silent, he had 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 wind blew through the willow trees, rustling, and only crickets were chirping one after another. A dark cloud drifted in the sky at some point, covering the moon.
There were no more voices in the yard, and it fell into silence again.
Mu Zhexing was immersed in the memory of Zhu Qiuqi, while Mu Yu was in a confused state.
Mu Yu didn't know how he should treat this matter, because Xie Bulao once said that the five of them were born with four elements missing, and they would die soon after they were born.
The five Yumon spiritual masters chose their physiques and possessed them to keep them alive.
But Mu Yu now understands that if he survives, his mother will have to pay the price with her life. This is a very cruel choice.
Regardless of whether Mu Tianhe broke up the Mu Zhexing couple in the first place, Zhu Qiuqi and Mu Yu were destined that one of them would die, and it was only because of Mu Youmeng's invasion that Mu Yu happened to survive.
Mu Yu no longer knows who to hate, maybe his existence was a mistake from the beginning.
"Forget about the past, let him go! You can live well for your mother. We need to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Mu family." Mu Zhexing sighed.
"I will live well for my mother."
Mu Yu pursed his lips. His current life was bought by Zhu Qiuqi's life. His mother's life existed in him. He really wanted to live well.
But he also thought, how could the life he carried be so simple?
When the Styx was about to engulf him, Kumu's father used "Blood Protection to Cover the Sky" to exchange his life for Mu Yu and prevent him from being persecuted by the White Realm. The life of Kumu's father was also flowing in his body.
With so many people protecting Mu Yu in various ways, there was no reason for him not to work hard.
"I will definitely do it." Mu Yu repeated silently.
He is a deeply loved child, fate is playing tricks on him, but many people are helping him.
As the night went on, the wind blew harder.
Mu Zhexing suddenly picked up Mu Yu's wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"You said you stopped drinking."
"I see her shadow in you, I want to get drunk one last time."
I got drunk for the last time in front of my son, and I never got drunk again.
"Let me get drunk with you once." A wooden wine glass appeared in Mu Yu's hand.
