"Heidi is a lovely and sensitive child, but she does not belong here because she is not happy here." Grandma told the baron.
But Clara’s baron father couldn’t understand: “We have everything she wants here.”
Grandma shook her head and said, "I think she has something on her mind."
"She has no freedom at all in this house and is restricted everywhere..."
But people are always selfish. Although the Baron also likes Heidi and may know what grandma said, all the reasons are inferior to: "But Clara hasn't been so happy for a long time."
But grandma said: "I know, so you don't have to feel guilty and blame yourself for leaving your daughter behind?"
The baron was speechless and ran away on horseback.
But in the days when Heidi continued to make progress, people in the manor would often hear strange noises at night, but when they looked for them, they would find nothing.
The door would open and close, and the servants said it must be haunted.
Grandma is leaving, Clara is very reluctant to part with her, and so is Heidi.
Clara reached out and took Heidi's hand. From then on, she only had Heidi again.
But Clara never noticed the sadness in Heidi's eyes, she was not that happy.
Because of the haunting, Clara's baron father wanted to find out. That night, he and the doctor were playing chess while placing two guns on the table, waiting for the "ghost" to appear.
Sure enough, the weird sound appeared again. Clara's father and the doctor immediately went to look for it with pistols. They finally found it, but what they didn't expect was that it was Heidi who opened the door.
Wearing thin clothes, she stood at the gate and looked into the distance.
Clara's father wanted to speak, but was stopped by the doctor. The doctor said that Heidi was sleepwalking and should not wake her up by making any noise.
Sure enough, Heidi stood at the door as if there was no one around, then turned around and went back to the room, lying on the small bed again. The doctor touched Heidi's hand and found that her whole body was cold, so he asked the baron to help him get a blanket.
The baron opened the cupboard door and found the blanket, but when he pulled out the blanket, the bread Heidi usually hid fell to the floor, which surprised the baron.
The doctor looked at the soft bread that had fallen to the floor, thoughtfully.
The doctor covered Heidi with a blanket, and Heidi woke up immediately.
The doctor sat on the bedside and asked Heidi: "What did you dream about just now?"
"I dreamed about grandpa," Heidi said.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" The doctor asked with concern.
Heidi shook her head, but put her hand on her heart and said, "It hurts here."
The doctor felt very sorry for Heidi, but he still smiled and glanced at the bread that fell on the floor and asked: "My dear, why do you hide so many buns in the cabinet?"
Heidi murmured: "That's for Grandma Pitt. She has bad teeth and can't eat hard bread."
The doctor immediately understood that this cute and kind-hearted child was homesick: "Do you want to go home? Baby Heidi?"
As he spoke, he picked up the eagle carving that his grandfather had carved for Heidi and made an eagle fly. But when Heidi saw it, she buried her head in the quilt and cried sadly.
The doctor comforted Heidi, then walked out and told the baron: "Heidi misses her hometown and is depressed. Her mental state is very bad. You have to send her home immediately."
But this was a difficult decision for the Baron, because after his wife's death, Clara had never been so happy.
"No, I can't do that to Clara. You will help me, right?" The baron hoped that the doctor could cure Heidi's homesickness.
The doctor picked up his coat and told the baron that this was the only way.
The baron looked at the portraits of his wife and daughter Carrara and remained silent for a long time.
Early the next morning, the Baron was drinking morning tea, and the maid pushed Clara out. Clara asked curiously: "Have you caught the ghost?"
The baron told Clara with difficulty that there was no ghost, it was Heidi.
This answer surprised both Clara and the maid.
"She was depressed, so she went out to sleepwalk at night!"
Clara quickly asked: "How can dismantling help her?"
"Send her home!" replied the baron.
Clara was silent, obviously she didn't want to let Heidi go, Heidi was her only friend, if Heidi left, then...
But the Baron added: "My dear, she can't live here any longer!"
Clara seemed a little unable to accept her father's decision. She angrily asked her father: "What should I do if she leaves?"
Heidi walked downstairs just at this time and heard Clara's words.
The baron told Clara that Heidi could only be cured by sending her back, but Clara just wanted Heidi to stay.
She angrily swept all the plates on the table to the floor.
"I don't want to be alone anymore."
The baron wanted to persuade his daughter, but Clara didn't want to listen at all.
Until they all saw Heidi.
Clara saw Heidi and said angrily: "Go, go find your grandpa and Peter, you all go!"
After saying that, he asked the maid to push him back to the room.
Heidi wanted to go find Clara, but was stopped by the baron, who told her that he would take her home.
Of course Heidi was very happy, but then she asked: "What about Clara?"
Until this moment, she still thought about her friend Clara.
The Baron did not respond. If possible, he would also like Heidi to stay, but he knew that he could not be so selfish.
Heidi turned around and knocked on Clara's door, but Clara locked herself in the room.
Even Heidi didn't come out when she left. She thought the whole world had abandoned her. However, in fact, Clara also knew that Heidi had to go home, she just couldn't accept it.
Although she didn't even come out when Heidi was about to leave, she asked the maid to prepare a basket of bread for Heidi, which was for Grandma Pete, and also prepared sausages, which were for Pete. In fact, she always remembered
Yes, what Heidi said was that she really couldn't accept Heidi's leaving, but she knew this was what Heidi wanted.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Before Heidi left, she gave Clara the eagle entrusting the baron that her grandfather had carved for her, and also invited Clara to go to the Alps to see her.
Clara saluted and said goodbye to the stern housekeeper. Although the housekeeper still looked stern and unsmiling, she responded to Clara.
However, after sending Heidi away, there was another interesting scene.
The housekeeper said to the baron: "It's finally quiet now."
The baron gave her an annoyed look.
When the housekeeper turned around, she saw the little kitten being taken care of by the male servant, which hit the housekeeper's Achilles' heel again.
She no longer cared about etiquette and called the maid's name loudly.
The maid picked up the little kitten and said, "We'll call you Heidi. Take my baby Heidi."
This scene made everyone couldn't help but laugh. Apparently, everyone in this manor liked Heidi, except maybe the housekeeper?
Under the care of the male servant, Heidi took a carriage and then a train, returning to the muddy land that haunted her.
Heidi started to take off her boots as soon as she was in the carriage. Peter ran over and Heidi immediately greeted him happily.
He left the pair of exquisite sheepskin boots on the carriage.
They first came to Pete's house, and Heidi brought the soft bread to Pete's grandma.
And he gave Pete a big bunch of sausages.
Then he ran up the mountain. Grandpa was repairing the house. He was halfway up the mountain when he suddenly heard a familiar call. He turned around and saw Heidi calling her grandpa and running from a distance.
Grandpa dropped the tools in his hands in excitement, climbed down the ladder tremblingly, and ran towards Heidi.
Heidi took off her heavy skirt as she ran, just like when she came, wearing only single clothes and bare feet, and ran towards her grandfather.
Grandpa hugged Heidi. No words could describe the mood of the two of them at this moment. They hugged each other tightly and enjoyed the joy of meeting again.
