Chapter 194 Can I send him a letter?

Xu Chuchu and Daju found a secluded place in the city to hide, and after dawn they followed the crowd out of the city gate.

They were worried that the Grand Master would send people to follow them, so they didn't dare to go home directly. They stayed in several towns outside Beijing for several days and only returned after making sure that there was no danger.

After returning, he immediately strengthened the surrounding formations to ensure that nothing could go wrong.

Xu Chuchu spent a lot of effort to add an invisible array to the house. Unless ordinary people passing by use spiritual power and magic tools to check, they will not be able to see that there is a house here.

She didn't believe that the Grand Master would be so merciful as to let her go and pretend nothing had happened. The peace in front of her could only mean that someone was helping her in secret.

Because she was worried that the night would be long and full of dreams, Xu Chuchu didn't even take a rest when she returned. She pulled her master and used the energy she had retrieved to regulate her body.

After injecting strong enough spiritual power, she guided this power to flow through her master's body, collecting all the spiritual power that was running around irregularly, then wrapping it in the center to form a ball, and then storing it all in her dantian.

In just a few hours, the illness that had tormented the master for years quickly disappeared.

But Xu Chuchu knew that this was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.

During the collection process, Xu Chuchu discovered that the noise of these spiritual powers was far beyond her imagination, and after being wrapped, they had been trying to break through the outer spiritual power ball.

Maybe she will have to help her master stabilize it again every once in a while, and her master cannot use his spiritual power at will, otherwise it may cause backlash.

She hasn't found the root cause of her master's spiritual disorder yet, she can only say that it has been temporarily stabilized, which is good.

Everyone was very happy to see that Master had recovered, was able to get out of bed, walk and work, and was in better spirits.

Jiji was full of admiration for his senior sister. He didn't expect that she could cure the master just like that, and so efficiently.

The big orange cat is even more like a cat that relies on its master's power. When its master becomes virtuous, both the cat and the master become immortal, and its tail is proudly raised to the sky.

This New Year's Eve was even more wonderful than anyone expected.

The master was in better spirits and kept clamoring to cook a few delicious dishes for everyone to taste. Not long after he entered the kitchen, he was driven out by Gigi in disgust.

Daju, who had always been a tinkerer, spent the entire afternoon locked up in his room, showing off his cat-scratching paper cutouts and saying he wanted to make playing cards. Ah Fu was also dragged into the dark room to help draw the patterns for the cards.

Everyone was busy, except Xu Chuchu, who was considered the most capable.

She wanted to sweep the yard, but her master took over the job. She mixed some leftovers to feed the dog, but the dog didn't like the smell of cats on her and wouldn't come near her.

I don’t have to be busy with anything, but my heart feels empty. In the end, I can only meditate and practice.

...But as soon as he closed his eyes, the scenes he saw in the tower and every word spoken by the Grand Master appeared uncontrollably in front of Xu Chuchu's eyes and ears.

There are also those innocent dead souls, the suffering Xiao Yu, and the evil spirits that are about to come into the world.

The darkness and pain are incompatible with the warmth and harmony before our eyes.

She seemed to be cut off from the warmth of home and couldn't fit in even if she wanted to.

…

In the evening, everyone had a big dinner to celebrate New Year’s Eve and New Year, as well as Master’s recovery.

After the party, it started to snow lightly and the room felt a little damp and cold. Daju suggested lighting a bonfire in the yard, so everyone gathered around the fire to talk and play cards.

Master, Chuchu and Daju played Landlord, using the poker cards that Daju had made in the afternoon.

Gigi and Afu watched and learned from the side.

Daju is a typical bad player who likes to play but has no skills. He likes to play big cards first and always has an unformed hand of three, four, five, six and eight in his hand. Whoever follows him will lose. Xu Chuchu didn't use his brain at all and even won a lot of Daju's pocket money.

Jiji was getting anxious watching from the side. Even he was almost able to do it, but Daju was still hitting it blindly.

Ah Fu's mind seemed not to be on the cards. He looked at the sky from time to time, as if he was estimating the time, and his expression became more and more anxious.

He saw that Daju became more and more courageous after losing, and kept fighting despite repeated defeats, with no intention of stopping at all. He really couldn't bear it anymore, so he pulled Daju's sleeve and begged in a low voice.

"Brother Mao, don't forget what I told you this afternoon."

Daju impatiently pushed him aside: "What's the matter? Didn't you see that Brother Cat is about to win? Stop making a noise. Two against!"

"But New Year's Day is coming soon!" Ah Fu refused, "You promised me that I would help you draw the cards, so you should help me."

Daju's face flushed immediately: "I just said it casually, I can't help, I can't help."

"Ah, you actually lied to me?!" Ah Fu felt extremely hurt.

Seeing this, Xu Chuchu asked, "Ah Fu, is there anything I can help you with?"

It's okay that Daju is naughty and disobedient, but she can do what he can, so she thought of helping in any way she can.

After Xu Chuchu said this, Daju immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Yes, you should go find her. She is more suitable than me."

As he said this, he secretly threw the lone four in his hand into the fire.

"Wait, wait!" The sharp-eyed master caught this scene and was worried about losing again. He quickly said, "Big Ju, how could you burn the cards? I was wondering why the cards kept getting fewer and fewer. It seems you burned them all. Big Ju, you should be honest as a human being. Even cats should be honest. You can't cheat..."

Seeing that the master's illness had healed, his nagging habit came back. Daju threw down the cards and ran away: "No, Master, I only burned one!"

"Stop! Don't burn a single one!" The master chased after him and taught him a lesson.

Gigi was still thinking about finding an opportunity to try it out, but when she saw that the game was over, she had no choice but to go back and wash the dishes.

Seeing that everyone had run away and Ah Fu was still standing there with his head down and no words, Xu Chuchu took the initiative to ask again: "What's wrong, Ah Fu, are you missing your family?"

Xu Chuchu didn't know that Ah Fu was sold into the palace and had not been in contact with his family for a long time. Her original intention was to ask him if he missed his parents, not knowing that his so-called family was actually only Xiao Yu.

Ah Fu sat down beside her sullenly and asked in a low voice, "Miss Xu, today is New Year's Eve, can you send a letter to my young master?"

"What? What message?" Xu Chuchu didn't expect Ah Fu to mention Xiao Yu, and her heart suddenly jumped.

He knew best what Xiao Yu had done to her, and he should have known her resistance. Asking her to write to him?

"Can't you fortune tellers send messages through fire? Just, just a 'Happy New Year's Eve' or 'Auspicious New Year' or something like that will do, no more!" Ah Fu said anxiously, "I'm sorry, Miss Xu, I know you're still mad at the young master, but, but today is New Year's Eve, a day for family reunions. My young master always hated the New Year, and this year he's alone, and without me to take care of things, the mansion must be utterly deserted! Just think of it as pity for him, he'll surely cry with joy when he receives your letter!"
