Several people coaxed the old lady into being very happy. When she finally fell asleep exhausted, the corners of her lips were still slightly raised, which made Ruan Huaqing feel uncomfortable again. Ruan Xi saw it clearly, but did not say anything. He just said a few words to the housekeeper and was about to leave and go back to the mountains.
He felt that the secret of the dark green bead might have to be found in the mountains and forests, or at the Tree of Life.
"Master Xi, are you leaving tonight? Can't you leave tomorrow? The lady will be sad when she wakes up and doesn't see you..." As the butler spoke, he glanced at the old lady who was sleeping soundly on the bed from time to time. There was an imperceptible tenderness in his words and expression.
He may never be able to have the person he loves most in his life, but he will always stay by her side until the end of his life.
"Even if I'm not here, aren't there so many of you here? Grandma is old, she just feels lonely more easily. You guys should spend more time with her. I... still have things I have to do, but I will come back often to accompany grandma." Ruan Xi's words sounded like he was trying to shirk responsibility, but it made Ruan Huaqing and Ruan Ping who were present lower their heads in shame.
One of them distanced himself from his mother because he was in love, and the other didn't dare to get close to her because he didn't understand her. The others also had their own reasons. Unknowingly, they had already pushed the old lady to a high and lonely position. They still had more or less resentment in their hearts and regarded the old lady as an unkind person.
Now, after being reminded by Ruan Xi, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over my head, and I felt that I was totally wrong.
Ruan Huaqing was already feeling down, and upon hearing this, his eyes instantly turned red. "We've always been so self-righteous that we think our mother is unapproachable and doesn't want us to get close to her. But in reality, it's just that we don't want to understand her..."
My mother lost her husband early in life and supported the family alone. However, no one understood her or was close to her. How could she not be lonely?
Thinking of this, the tears in Ruan Huaqing's eyes suddenly burst out, and he covered his mouth and cried uncontrollably.
Ruan Ping also squatted on the ground uncomfortably, his eyes red and tears flashing.
Seeing the two of them like this, Ruan Xi nodded slightly in his heart with satisfaction. Finally, he gave them a little guidance and they quickly changed their minds. Otherwise, he really couldn't leave with peace of mind. He had to arrange things for his grandmother first.
"It's not too late. If grandma takes care of her health, she will have no problem living another fifty years. As long as she keeps a young mentality, the gears of age will turn more smoothly. As long as we all do what we can and should do, grandma won't have to worry about us anymore." Ruan Xi said this with a gentle smile on his face. However, his facial features were naturally tinged with a hint of color, which seemed nothing at first glance, but after a while, it would inevitably dazzle his eyes.
Ruan Huaqing and Ruan Ping, who were feeling guilty and kept staring at Ruan Xi unconsciously, were caught in the flash of light without any surprise. Suddenly, the atmosphere became less solemn and they inexplicably felt like laughing.
Come to think of it, in front of Ruan Huaqing and Ruan Ping, Ruan Xi is a nephew and a younger brother, and his status is definitely lower than theirs. But he was scolded by them to the point that he couldn't even raise his head. It's a puzzling development.
"Xiao Xi, don't smile at others all the time in the future. It's easy to make people make... mistakes." Ruan Huaqing actually wanted to say "crime", but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back and changed them to a more peaceful "mistake". She almost choked on her own saliva.
Ruan Xi: "..." What does this mean? Ruan Xi was baffled, but his goal had been achieved. He was too lazy to delve into other matters. He explained a few precautions to the old lady's medication to the housekeeper before leaving.
He had just reached the edge of the forest and had not yet reached the place where Ruan Ping was stopped last time, when suddenly a black shadow jumped out in front of him and stopped abruptly in front of him.
Fortunately, he was brave, otherwise he would have screamed by now. As soon as he took a look, he immediately smiled.
"Big tree, come and pick me up!" Ruan Xi couldn't help but smile when he saw the Tree of Life. He felt particularly relaxed and all his worries were forgotten in an instant. To Ruan Xi, the big tree was his forget-me-not, the kind with extremely good effects.
The big tree also expressed its joy in Ruan Xi's consciousness. The roots wrapped around Ruan Xi's waist and quickly formed a seat. Then, without stopping for a second, it carried him inside and soon returned to the main body of the Tree of Life.
"You're back." He Ziqian was actually there too, leisurely roasting the rabbit he had just hunted. The air was filled with the rich aroma of barbecue, and Ruan Xi instantly felt that he was a little hungry again.
"Have some midnight snack?" He Ziqian raised the rabbit that had been roasted till crispy and juicy, a faint smile on his lips. He had to admit that this man was very charming.
"Eat!" Ruan Xi made the decision without hesitation and sat down with He Ziqian to eat barbecue. He also picked out some things that He Ziqian wanted to know.
But unfortunately, the results all pointed to the same thing - He Ziqian could not trade the materials he needed to repair his mecha through merchant ships.
"I had expected this result. I'm not particularly disappointed. I just became more curious about this planet." To say that this planet has no secrets would be too difficult for him, unless his brain ran away from home.
"I'm relieved that you're okay. I'm debugging the operating program of the mecha and can't leave it for a long time, so I'll leave first. You should have a good rest. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow." After eating the roasted rabbit, they had basically talked about everything that needed to be talked about. He Ziqian left without any delay. Obviously, he loved his mecha deeply.
Ruan Xi was happy to see this happen. After all, he had something very important to discuss with Dashu.
As soon as He Ziqian left, Ruan Xi couldn't wait to climb up the big tree. Seeing this, the big tree immediately stretched out its branches to help, and directly lifted the person onto its crown and placed him in the place where Ruan Xi often stayed.
"Xiao Xi, the aura on you is a bit strange..." The big tree stretched out two soft and slender branches, like two hands, moving tentatively on Ruan Xi's body, and finally stopped at Ruan Xi's right trouser pocket and did not move.
Ruan Xi's heart moved when he saw this. Could that dark green bead really be related to the Tree of Life?
"What's so strange? Has the aura on my body changed a lot?" At this time, Ruan Xi was not in a hurry to take out the beads. He guided Dashu step by step to think in the direction he wanted. Listening to Dashu's unguarded answer, Ruan Xi's determination in his heart became stronger and stronger.
Finally, he took out the dark green bead and said, "Da Shu, do you... recognize this?"
