Two trees make a forest

Lying on the bed, I didn't feel sleepy at all in the dark room, clutching the quilt tightly, my mind was full of Xiao Zixuan's penetrating words.I even started to fantasize about Xiao Mingming.Although we have always been at odds, as a stranger, I don't want anything to happen.For the first time, I felt a little scared to meet people from the Mu family, the people behind the Mu family.I timidly squeezed into Mu Xizi's territory. Although she was not there, I felt that she was beside me. I was leaning on her shoulder and curled up beside her. She gave me great tolerance and great tolerance. the warmth.

When there was a noise downstairs, I woke up immediately, turned over and jumped out of bed and ran downstairs.Xiao Zixuan was stretching, looked at me, and gave me the first big smile in the morning: "You're up." I slowly approached him.He frowned slightly and walked towards me: "You didn't sleep well or didn't sleep." I was a little distracted and felt Xiao Zixuan's fingertips brushing my eyes, and I looked at him dully.Xiao Zixuan looked at me with pity in his eyes and smiled helplessly: "Forget it, are you ready?"

"Let's go." After finishing speaking, I couldn't wait to go out but Xiao Zixuan grabbed me.I looked at him suspiciously, and he raised his eyebrows at my feet.I looked down and realized that I was barefoot and had no socks on.

Just as I ran upstairs, Xiao Zixuan reminded loudly: "Choose a set of black clothes." I rummaged through the box, and finally found the black clothes and pants, and then put on black socks. When I went out, I added a pair of black shoes .Xiao Zixuan looked me up and down, and I helped my black-rimmed glasses a little awkwardly.

Sitting in the car, Xiao Zixuan started to speed on the road, the scenery outside the window quickly disappeared, and my heart became more and more impatient.When I am afraid, Mu Xizi is not there; when I am afraid, I am alone; when I am afraid, I become a stranger. . .I tilted my head and looked at the passing scenery, and my mood also fell.

When the car stopped, I opened the door, and the parking lot was neatly parked with all black cars.An inexplicable sense of depression came over me.Looking around, I didn't see a single person.Xiao Zixuan came over and took my hand, his voice was not like the hippie before, but a little serious: "Duo Duo, you should know what you will face when you come, do you want to leave?"

I shook my head quickly: "This time, I won't leave easily."

Xiao Zixuan smiled reassuringly, and patted my head: "Good job. Don't be afraid, everything depends on me. You just follow me, don't say anything, don't do anything. Just stay by my side." I hesitated For a moment, he nodded to the confident Xiao Zixuan.It's not that I don't trust Xiao Zixuan, but that I don't want to involve him.After all, my status in the Mu family is really embarrassing.

As Xiao Zixuan said, I followed him the whole time.From the parking lot to the long staircase, through the rows of verdant evergreens to the large mourning hall, the crowd emerged at once.I felt that the air around me was freezing more and more, but the strange eyes were getting hotter and hotter.Without stopping a step in the middle, I followed Xiao Zixuan closely, he was my only hope.I buried my head and walked quickly, without hearing it, and finally ended with me bumping into Xiao Zixuan's back.

When I raised my head, I looked over Xiao Zixuan's shoulder and saw Mu Xizi who was pale, with empty eyes, and thin.My cold heart immediately warmed up.Looking at Mu Xizi's red eye sockets from crying, my eyes also became sore.Our eyes met, and the noise in our ears was blocked by each other's burning eyes.The nose trembled slightly, and I saw Mu Xizi's shining teardrops slipping down his cheeks, and my heart twitched.

When I couldn't help myself and wanted to rush up and hug Mu Xizi who was standing in the howling wind, Xiao Zixuan took my hand, and then pulled me forward.My eyes were always on Mu Xizi's body.Xiao Zixuan squeezed hard, and I came to my senses, in front of me were the elders of the Mu family, Mu Xizi's father, second uncle and aunt.Xiao Zixuan let go of my hand and bowed deeply to them.I followed suit and bowed deeply to them.

Second Uncle Mu who spoke: "Why did you come so early?"

Xiao Zixuan responded solemnly: "Yes. My mother couldn't pay homage in person, and felt deeply guilty. She called me overnight, hoping that Lin Duoduo would help her to show her filial piety." Seeing that Uncle Mu was about to speak, Xiao Zixuan took me first. Pushed forward a bit: "This is Lin Duoduo. My mother's client. She said that although she left the Mu family in the early years, her grandma treated her like her own mother. She was ill and couldn't say goodbye in person. She felt very guilty. So I wanted to borrow Lin Duoduo's hand to give grandma a ride at last."

I didn't know Xiao Zixuan would say such a thing, I didn't dare to say a word, so I had to keep my mouth shut.But Uncle Mu's lingering eyes made me a little overwhelmed, and I immediately glanced at Aunt Mu next to me.Aunt Mu's face was a little pale, but her smile remained the same, like the breeze in April, blowing away the irritability in her heart.Seeing Aunt Mu cast stable eyes on me, I felt that I had enough confidence to meet Uncle Mu who had a gentle appearance and sharp eyes again.

Uncle Mu smiled politely at Xiao Zixuan: "Since your mother has this kind of filial piety, it would be great."

The gloomy Uncle Mu never spoke, but after he glanced at me, he smiled, as if he was laughing at Xiao Zixuan's words on behalf of her mother, then he stopped looking at us, and continued to stand indifferently like a big tree with.

Uncle Mu turned to look at me: "Lin Duoduo? Just follow Zixuan and don't get lost."

Uncle Mu's simple words made my hair stand on end.His invisible aura made my legs weak.Xiao Zixuan on the side took my hand and said calmly: "My mother specially explained that she likes this goddaughter Duoduo very much, so I must take good care of it."

As soon as Xiao Zixuan said this, not only me, but also Uncle Mu, Aunt Mu, and even Uncle Mu looked at him.Everyone's eyes were mixed with surprise, astonishment, and surprise.It's a pity that Xiao Zixuan didn't explain a word more, and led me to the junior's place.I felt several beams of light coming from my back, and the pinnae of my ears were scorching hot.

I followed Xiao Zixuan and stood in the junior seat.With Xiao Zixuan's look, Zhong Liu, Zhong Yu'er and Mu Shiran gave up their seats and went to the back hall to rest.I stood behind Xiao Zixuan, and Mu Xizi was obliquely in front of me.Knowing that I was in Muxizi, he turned his head and looked at me secretly, with endless sadness and rejection in his eyes.I tried my best to pull out a shallow smile, hoping that she would be able to overcome her grief.Because there were many people who came to pay homage, Mu Xizi immediately put away the grievance in his eyes, and stood up straight to face the guests one after another.I stood behind them and followed them to bow and thank them.Xiao Zixuan's words have always remained in my mind, I don't know what he meant.Sometimes, I can clearly feel strange eyes shooting at me.But I encouraged myself not to panic, not to lose Xiao Zixuan's face and Mu Xizi's face.

When Zhong Liu, Zhong Yuer and Mu Shiran came to replace us, Xiao Zixuan walked ahead quickly and led Mu Xizi and me into a side hall where no one was around.Mu Xizi didn't care whether there was anyone there, stopped and rushed towards me, saying sadly: "Duoduo, Duoduo. Grandma is gone. Really gone." No need to look, I also know that Mu Xizi's teardrops are falling fall down.My heart was broken, my nose was sobbing, I could only hug her, pat her on the back gently, and give her the only warmth I had.

Xiao Zixuan said seriously: "Now is not the time for you to cry." Mu Xizi stood up straight and shot him a glance.Xiao Zixuan didn't care, and warned non-stop: "The forces of all parties are restraining, and the situation is changing rapidly. The second uncle can't guarantee what the result will be. Just in case, everyone is walking on eggshells and striving for perfection. Any one of them may It will become the fuse, the tipping point. So." After Xiao Zixuan hurriedly finished speaking, he looked at me: "Duoduo, Lisa and I think we need to find a shelter for you."

I was dumbfounded, and Mu Xizi also sobbed and questioned me: "Am I not your shelter?" Now Mu Xizi is like a pitiful kitten, with her watery eyes wide open. Eyes, I felt distressed, but I didn't know how to explain it, so I had to turn my eyes to the calm Xiao Zixuan.

Xiao Zixuan explained: "Lisa decided to be your shelter." This time, even Mu Xizi looked at Xiao Zixuan in surprise.Xiao Zixuan didn't have time to elaborate: "I'll explain this matter to you later. The most urgent thing is to let the Mu family and the people behind the Mu family know that Lin Duoduo is not a dispensable person. She represents my mother. The Xiao family. Although Grandpa's family doesn't care about world affairs, the members of the Xiao family are not something everyone can touch."

Mu Xizi took my hand and hid me behind her: "The Xiao family loves whoever they want, anyway, a lot is not enough."

Facing Mu Xizi's willfulness, Xiao Zixuan immediately darkened his face and said sharply: "You don't care about Duoduo's life or death." Xiao Zixuan's words frightened Mu Xizi so that he stopped talking.Xiao Zixuan softened his tone again: "No. She is yours and has always been yours. But now, with one more person protecting her, she will be safer." Mu Xizi resented Xiao Zixuan, but Xiao Zixuan didn't care to put his hand on the On Mu Xizi's shoulder: "My good sister, don't take Duoduo for anger. You will regret it."

Mu Xizi pushed Xiao Zixuan's hand away, arrogantly: "Who is your sister?" After speaking, he left angrily.

When I was about to catch up, Xiao Zixuan pulled me back: "At least for now, you follow me." I looked at him ignorantly, but Xiao Zixuan smiled: "My good sister, the elder brother will protect you from now on." After finishing speaking, He patted me on the shoulder.

Xiao Zixuan didn't bring me back to rest, instead he walked outside, there were people standing in twos and threes outside the hall, some were smoking, some were chatting, some came over to strike up a conversation when they saw Xiao Zixuan.Everyone first expressed their sadness and nostalgia for Grandma Mu's death, and then began to exchange greetings with Xiao Zixuan to get closer.Xiao Zixuan never refuses anyone who comes, and every time he will take the trouble to introduce me as his god-sister.I started to become everyone's new focus.

I'm like a marionette, I do what everyone tells me to do.The people who came and went, I didn't see who they were before they disappeared.One after another, I felt the impermanence of life and the ruthlessness of time.When I passed Xiao Zixuan's figure and saw Duoduo behind him, my dry eyes began to seep tears again.I urgently need a lot of hugs now, let me hide in, let me be clean, let me relax for a while.Xiao Zixuan pulled Duoduo forward, my feet were like lead cast, I couldn't move.When they came back, Duoduo stood behind Xiao Zixuan, I felt a little comforted in my heart.When I was resting, I went to a place where no one was around and couldn't wait to hug Duoduo. I needed the courage to stand down from her.It's a pity that Xiao Zixuan disturbed Duo Duo and me, and threatened to find a shelter for Duo Duo.I naturally did my part, but when he asked me whether I would put Duoduo's life or death at risk, I was timid.I can only give up my little self to protect a lot.
