Chapter 37 Fate
"It's okay, I look good in this dress."
Mo Xi lowered his head and pulled at his clothes. The material was much better than his own.
"Yeah, that's okay. I'm going out for a bit anyway, so I can fix your airship while I'm at it. Then you can fly it out in the future."
Because we have to go out and play whack-a-mole tomorrow.
There must be a lot of things to prepare, but she was not quite sure what they were, so she decided to ask Fengli later.
"Auntie, aren't you worried about being retaliated against after you take me in?"
Hearing that Yu Mu had begun to consider his future life and was planning to support him for a long time, Mo Xi was moved and couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.
Just now, Aunt Liu said it very clearly that the family who adopted him would be unlucky. Those people would use all kinds of means to make it impossible for the family to survive, so that they would abandon him in the end. He did not blame those people, but he was curious why Yu Mu still took him in since he already knew it?
If Mo Xi had not eaten two of her cucumbers before and knew that she was not a bad person, he would almost think that she was someone with ulterior motives.
"I don't believe what that fat woman said."
Yu Mudao said, "The fat woman is obviously a rough and mean person. How can she have any conscience to hit a child casually? She must be telling lies without hesitation. She doesn't trust the character of such a person at all."
"But what she said is true. Someone from the Mo family is targeting me. The truth may be even more cruel than she said."
Mo Xi lowered his head in frustration. He was very greedy for the warmth that Yu Mu gave him, but his conscience told him that he should leave here and not attract the attention of those people.
"Is it actually true?"
Yu Mu scratched her head. She thought that the fat woman was exaggerating and just making an excuse for not wanting to support Mo Xi. How could she have imagined that it was true? The Mo family was a wealthy and powerful family. Wouldn't it be easy for them to get someone if they wanted?
I am not qualified to fight with such a person!
Is everyone really going to abandon him?
Seeing Yu Mu's expression, Mo Xi lowered his eyebrows. He walked towards the door and said, "Sister, don't worry. I'll leave now. It's only for a while. They won't make things difficult for you."
"No, let me think about it."
Yu Mu wondered how she would defend herself against those malicious people if she adopted Mo Xi. Didn't that woman say her lover's job had been lost? It was obvious that she was very powerful. Besides, she and Mo Xi weren't familiar enough for her to abandon everything to take care of him.
I remember reading a piece of social news where someone sacrificed his life to save a friend, leaving his lonely family sad and upset, while the friend was unharmed and didn't show any reaction.
It's outrageous.
The light in Mo Xi's eyes dimmed, and he left silently without making a sound. By the time Mu realized what was happening, he was gone, and he chased after him but couldn't find him.
He's not really leaving, is he?
Yu Mu walked to the window anxiously and looked out, hoping to see Mo Xi. Sure enough, after a few minutes, she saw Mo Xi at the gate, but it wasn't just him, there were several people surrounding him.
These people pushed and shoved Mo Xi.
Mo Xi was like a wooden man, and he didn't resist no matter how they pushed him. Yu Mu also saw someone hitting Mo Xi's legs with a wooden stick, trying to knock him to the ground.
And he succeeded.
Mo Xi finally fell to the ground, his face upwards, his eyes unconsciously looking up at the sky, until he also saw Yu Mu looking down from the windowsill.
I want to save him! Yu Mu was very angry. Can't these people let him live a good life?
Damn it!
She suddenly remembered the look in Mo Xi's eyes when that woman drove him away, so lost and helpless. She immediately ran downstairs, her face flushed with regret, and she wanted to jump off the stairs immediately. She shouldn't have hesitated until she finally saw Mo Xi.
"stop."
Yu Mu shouted, rushed forward, stretched out his hand to block Mo Xi and said: "Get out, otherwise I can't be sure if I will hurt you."
"Oh, just you?"
The leader looked at her like she was a fool and laughed heartily. The other two men also laughed. These men were big and strong, with dark faces. One of them said, "Woman, I advise you to mind your own business."
"nonsense!"
Yu Mu just wanted to beat them up, so he didn't bother talking nonsense.
Bang, bang, bang.
Several people were caught off guard by her, and they didn't expect that although she looked frail, she was actually very strong. Her punch was very tricky and hit their ribs, causing them extreme pain. They gasped in pain every time they tried to move a step.
"Fuck, Boss, I can't move."
A minion inhaled in pain.
"Me too, I fell down, let's go." Several people did not hesitate and ran away immediately after suffering a loss.
After Yu Mu chased away a few people, he immediately turned around to look at Mo Xi, and saw that he had already climbed up, with his head down, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Come home with me, and you'll live in my house from now on."
Yu Mu went over and grabbed his hand, feeling his hand was cold and small, thin and without any warmth. Mo Xi raised her face and looked at her in shock and asked: "What did you say?"
He knew Yu Mu was soft-hearted and that if he begged, she would definitely take him in, but he was unwilling. Everything he had experienced made him no longer believe in human nature. People will change, even those who were once kind will become unkind and turn into those who hurt him.
"What the hell are you doing? Come back with me. I'm not giving up on supporting you, be good!"
Yu Mu was angry at first, then felt pity. This child should not be treated maliciously.
Mo Xi lowered his head and said after a while: "Are you not afraid of them?"
“Don’t be afraid!”
"The worst that can happen is death. Since I met you in this terrible world, I can't just ignore you!" Yu Mu thought of her parents, teachers, and Luo Qing. She shouldn't have lingered on and given up on Mo Xi. She shouldn't have been so cowardly out of fear at that moment.
"Okay, that's what you said."
Mo Xi held her hand tightly.
"Okay, let's go home."
"You must be hungry. I'll prepare something for you to eat."
Go home again.
Yu Mu asked Mo Xi with a smile. Mo Xi was a little restrained. Seeing that he was a little confused, Yu Mu guessed that he might not be able to adapt for a while, but he must be very hungry, so he went into the kitchen to busy himself, leaving Mo Xi standing in the house looking around. It was so shabby here. One of the legs of the table had fallen off and was tied with a broken piece of wood. It looked shaky, but he could repair it.
The wooden bed is also corroded and is about to fall apart. If it is polished and painted, it should be fine.
Mo Xi looked at all this but did not move.
Yu Mu put the food into the pot and came out to see Mo Xi standing there looking around, not knowing where to put his hands and feet. He smiled and said, "Don't be restrained. Sit down and rest for a while."
He handed him a chair and motioned him to sit down. Mo Xi sat down obediently and whispered to Mu: "I can fix this table leg."
"You actually know how to repair a table?"
Moxi is only about seven or eight years old. It's amazing that such a young child can repair a table!
"Yes! If you allow me, I'll go and fix it right away. It will be fixed before tonight."
"No problem, go ahead and fix it if you're not tired."
At this moment, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
Yu Mu came in and brought the food, which was a bowl of white rice, a plate of stir-fried cabbage and meat, and a bowl of egg custard.
Moxi hasn't eaten natural food for a long time.
"Thanks."
He murmured a thank you, picked up his bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
"No need to thank me. You can eat first. I'm going to go buy some things. If you wake up, please feed her some nutritious milk. She can speak a little and understand a little. If she calls for mom, just say mom is out and will be back soon. Is that okay?"
"no problem."
Mo Xi readily agreed, because helping Yu Mu made him feel much more comfortable.
Because they were going hunting tomorrow, they had to prepare everything today. Yu Mu didn't know what to buy, so he had to call Feng Li. The call was connected quickly, and he heard a lot of noise on the other end.
"Hello, I'm Feng Li, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Fengli's standard opening.
"I'm Yu Mu. I just wanted to ask if you have time to prepare something for our Whac-A-Mole outing tomorrow. I'm thinking of going shopping with you and maybe fixing the airship."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Feng Li answered, and at the same time Yu Mu heard the noise over there getting louder.
A few minutes later, Fengli appeared at the door.
Yu Mu couldn't help but ask: "Did you have a quarrel with someone just now?"
"It's still Ruyue, leave her alone!"
Feng Li frowned when she thought of Ru Yue, unwilling to bring it up. She changed the subject and asked, "You just said you wanted to repair an airship. Where did you get the airship? Where is the airship?"
"Come on, I'll take you to see it."
Yu Mu smiled when he mentioned the airship and said, "Remember the little boy who fainted from hunger I told you about last time? He also gave me a wind-related secret manual. He's from the Mo family, named Mo Xi. I ran into him again this time, but he's having a bad time. He's at my house now. This airship is hers. I don't know if it's broken, but it looks bad, so I wanted to fix it and see if I can use it."
"Yeah, I understand."
Hearing her words, Feng Li's face turned serious.
The two of them went to the rooftop together. Feng Li looked at the airship and sighed, "I advise you to give up this airship."
"Why?"
Yu Mu asked doubtfully.
"This is a product of the Mo family, and it belongs to Mo Xi. It is very likely to have a positioning device on it, and... let's talk about it when we get back."
Feng Li had a serious face and always felt unsafe speaking while standing on the rooftop.
