Then, before Mu Anxiao could look out the window, an old woman of fifty or sixty beside her suddenly pointed at Mu Anxiao and started speaking, "You child, can't you see there's an elder here? How did your family raise you? Don't you know to respect the old and love the young?"
Hearing the old woman's voice, Mu Anxiao felt a headache coming on. Without a word, she stood up and gestured to the seat.
The old woman, seeing Mu Anxiao's silent, aloof demeanor, was taken aback. Then, her expression became a little awkward as she said, "You only get up when I speak to you, truly..."
"I didn't see you. If I had seen you, I absolutely would not have sat down."
The old woman snorted at Mu Anxiao's words, "Oh, are you trying to save face? No upbringing is no upbringing, and you even come up with excuses. What kind of person are you?"
Mu Anxiao looked at the quarrelsome face of the old woman before her, sighed, and turned to walk towards the back.
As the old woman watched Mu Anxiao's receding figure, she was about to call out when someone she knew pulled her aside, "Don't make trouble, just sit down quickly."
"She..."
"The child was willing to stand up and give you the seat, which proves she's a good child who doesn't want to argue with you. Don't say anything more, just sit down."
The old woman glanced speechlessly at Mu Anxiao's back and sat down.
"That person is really annoying," the big-headed fat demon said unhappily.
"You should have taught her a lesson," the small demon suggested.
Mu Anxiao didn't even look at them and thought, That person is clearly going through menopause. If you understand, you can let it pass. Besides, what's the point of arguing with her? In the end, I'll still be branded as disrespectful to the old and unloving to the young. It's not worth it.
"You're right," the small demon nodded.
The big-headed fat demon smiled at Mu Anxiao and said, "Your adaptability is very strong."
Mu Anxiao glanced at the big-headed fat demon and thought, What do you mean?
"It means nothing, I'm just praising you," the big-headed fat demon continued to smile.
Mu Anxiao smiled faintly, looked out the window, and thought, Soon, I will be leaving here.
"Do you like it here?" the small demon asked.
Mu Anxiao lowered her gaze, thought for a moment, and replied, "Well, how should I put it? The people here are not as rigid as our people, and the facilities are better than ours by an immeasurable amount, so much so that it can't even be described by multiples. However," she pursed her lips and smiled, "I still like our place because my memories are there, my everything is there. Ultimately, I don't belong here."
"You miss home," the big-headed fat demon said.
Mu Anxiao nodded slightly.
"I really wish I could go back to when we were with our Master. At that time, we didn't have to worry about anything, and our Master was still so happy and healthy. If only we could go back," the small demon pouted, "I would never cause trouble, I would absolutely obey our Master, not listen to wicked people, and not harm those villagers, causing them to fall ill."
Illness? Mu Anxiao repeated, frowning.
"Didn't we tell you?" the big-headed fat demon asked.
Mu Anxiao shook her head.
"It was our fault for harming our Master. Our Master went to hell for us. Suffering illness in this life is all our fault, our fault," the big-headed fat demon choked out.
What was your Master's previous immortal position?
"Our Master's previous immortal position was..." the big-headed fat demon said, frowning as she tried to recall, and then shook her head, "We've forgotten."
Forgotten?
"For some reason, our memories of our Master have also begun to fade little by little. This feeling," the small demon's nose twitched, and tears began to fall, "is so painful."
"Yes, we don't know why, but everything about our Master has begun to blur for us. We want to save it, but..." the big-headed fat demon shook her head, "we are powerless."
It's a wolf demon. Mu Anxiao thought with determination.
"Wolf demon?"
The wolf demon has taken over your Master's body and is now also absorbing your Master's soul essence as demonic energy. Your memories are connected to your Master's soul essence. As your Master's soul essence gradually weakens, your memories of your Master will also begin to fade with the soul essence. Therefore, Mu Anxiao's eyes became firm, we must subdue the wolf demon, and it must be today, otherwise, I'm afraid your Master will be in danger.
Originally, Mu Anxiao didn't want to say this, but thinking of Hu Yuan's soul that day, she became afraid.
"Mm," the big-headed fat demon and the small demon agreed cooperatively.
As Mu Anxiao nodded, the rear car door opened, and she got out of the car.
Following her, the boy who had smiled at her also got out of the car. "Hello," he said, patting Mu Anxiao on the shoulder.
Mu Anxiao frowned, turned to look at the boy, and asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Just now..." the boy smiled awkwardly, "if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been scolded. I... I'm sorry."
Mu Anxiao said, "What are you sorry for? It's not your fault. You didn't see that old woman, and I didn't either. Besides, this has nothing to do with you."
"Even though that's what you say, I still feel embarrassed," the boy said.
Mu Anxiao looked at the boy's face, thinking about her unfamiliar relationship with him, and turned to leave without another word.
The boy didn't expect Mu Anxiao to react like this. He was stunned for a moment, then strode in the direction Mu Anxiao was heading.
A few minutes later, Mu Anxiao stopped and turned to look at the boy who had been following her since the station, asking coldly, "Why are you following me?"
The boy stopped and smiled awkwardly, "I'm here to see someone." He pointed to the hospital.
"See someone?" Mu Anxiao retorted.
The boy nodded.
Then, Mu Anxiao turned and continued to walk forward without saying anything else.
Watching Mu Anxiao's retreating figure, the boy breathed a sigh of relief and took out his phone to make a call.
In the hospital ward, Feng Qishi picked up the phone by the pillow and answered, "Hello, have you arrived?"
In front of the hospital, the boy looked around and said, "Yeah, I've arrived."
"Come up, did you bring me anything to eat?" Feng Qishi asked.
The boy swallowed and said, "Don't worry, I'll bring you flowers."
"Food," Feng Qishi emphasized.
"Okay, okay," the boy agreed.
"Waiting for you," Feng Qishi said, hanging up.
The boy put away his phone and turned towards a nearby store.
In the ward, Feng Qishi stared at his phone for a moment, then with renewed determination, called Mu Anxiao.
In front of the inpatient department, the big-headed fat demon looked at Mu Anxiao's vibrating phone and asked, "Why aren't you answering?"
Mu Anxiao glanced at the big-headed fat demon, then at the familiar number, clicked her tongue, and answered, "What is it?"
"Have you arrived yet?" Feng Qishi asked.
"I've arrived, but I'm not here to see you," Mu Anxiao intentionally lowered her voice.
