Chapter 118 Tree Roots

There are no pedestrians on the road, and the bustling tea village of the past has faded away, like an empty city, like a ghost city!

The eldest prince returned to Grandma's house and opened the door, the two dogs rushed over with enthusiasm.

Seeing that the eldest prince was heavy and his face was ugly, Zhuzi looked behind him in confusion. The only one who could change his master's face was Sister Mu!

I saw that there was no one behind the eldest prince, and Zhuzi looked confused, "Where is Sister Mu?"

The eldest prince ignored the bamboo and walked into the yard.

Zhuzi touched her head and looked at the desolate scenery outside the door, not sure.

"Young Master is back!" Ailian walked out of the room and glanced at the eldest prince behind her. Her sallow face could not hide her joy.

"Yes." The eldest prince kept walking, unable to see his expression.

"Young Master!" Ailian called out to the eldest prince, "My grandma is feeling uncomfortable and is lying in the room," she clenched her palms, "I have been thinking about the young master!"

The eldest prince paused and then turned around and walked towards the grandma's room.

Seeing this, Ailian hurriedly trotted and followed closely behind.

When he arrived outside the door, Ailian stepped forward and opened the door.

The eldest prince glanced at Ailian and stepped into the door.

The house is not big and shabby. The only thing that can be seen is a small bed and some daily necessities.

The porcelain basin for washing his face was placed on the ground at will, and a unique smell of brain oil filled the entire room.

"Cough cough! Cough cough cough..." After a hysterical cough, Grandma spoke, "Young man, why are you here?" Grandma seemed to have not expected that the eldest prince would come to see her.

She had long seen that their group had a noble status, but she came to her room despite the filth.

The eldest prince came to Ah Mi's bed with a thin quilt on it. The bed sheets had been washed so that they could not see the original color. Ah Mi's bones were lying on the bed with a thin body, leaving only a skeleton.

The eldest prince pursed his lips. He remembered that when they came, the quilt given to them was a new quilt and new cotton. The quilt was not enough to eat or wear or warm, but he gave him the best one, a stranger he had met for the first time.

The eldest prince sat beside the grandma's bed, "I'll ask Zhuzi to invite the doctor!"

"No! Cough cough, no need!" Seeing this, Grandma quickly stopped it, "Cangwu has no doctor for a long time! Cough cough cough..."

"The Master of Heaven can save his mother-in-law!" Ailian interrupted anxiously.

If the mother-in-law dies, will the young master leave here? He glanced at the eldest prince, hoping to keep him, and stay for another moment!

"Tianshi..." The momentum around the eldest prince suddenly became cold, like a thousand-year-old piece of ice in June.

Seeing this, Ailian didn't know what she said wrongly. She carefully looked up at the eldest prince and took a step back.

In her heart, he was as unattainable as the bright moon in the sky! And she wanted to be Chang'e!

"No need... cough cough cough..." Ah Mi said effortlessly, "I know my body myself. Even if the Heavenly Master is willing to take action, I can't cure me, the dying person!" She grinned, her smile full of bitterness, "I should have gone with my son, but I can't let go of Xiaobao!"

The grandma was so hard that she wanted to sit up, but the eldest prince quickly got up and helped her when she saw this.

Grandma then leaned her arm against the head of the bed and looked straight into his eyes, "Young man! I can't even imagine that I can survive until now under natural disasters! I'm afraid my body will not work anymore," she gasped for effort, "I just can't rest assured that Xiaobao! I'll ask you something for me..." She looked at Grandma with all her eyes looking forward to it.

"You said!" The eldest prince looked solemn. When he helped her, he realized that she was indeed in her life and was extremely limp.

"Help me take care of Xiaobao!" As if she was afraid that the eldest prince would not agree, she gasped anxiously, "Don't worry, if the court really sent someone to provide disaster relief... When the court's disaster relief food arrived, the mother and the mother would be able to survive..."

The eldest prince's expression changed constantly, pondering without saying a word.

Seeing this, the wrinkles on my face drooped. After all, I was old and saw more things, so I quickly saw it. "This request from my son is indeed embarrassing you. It is inappropriate for you to take in this orphan and widowed mother without asking Mrs. Zun's opinion... Cough cough..."

"I promise you!" The eldest prince thought for a while and spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, Ah Mi sigh breathed a sigh of relief and let go of the burden she had always had in her heart.

She has always dared not die, but she had to waste a person's food every day. She could only try to eat less and eat less!

She was afraid that after she died, she would leave the orphan and widowed mother to be bullied! This was her heart disease and a close relative she could not let go!

"Where has Xiaobao gone?" She looked out the door, her turbid eyes were rarely shining.

"I'll call him now! Mom, wait!" Ailian quickly trotted away.

Amiya watched Ai Lian's back disappear and sighed softly, "Oh... I didn't expect that I would still hear her call me "Mom!" Ai Lian's "Mom" made Amiya much more energetic, "This child! Haha... I know that she has always despised my son and felt that he has no great ability! Since entering the door, she has never called me "Mom!"

Ah Mi shook her head helplessly, "What can you do if you are rich and powerful? She! She always thinks about those loves and loves! The husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly away when the disaster comes! My son has been treating him as close relatives for many years, and this is a real life!"

The eldest prince is like a listener, standing in front of the bed, listening carefully to the old man's feelings throughout his life!

The grandma raised her eyes hard and looked at the eldest prince, "Young man, if Lian'er likes anyone in the future, let him remarry! Then you can check it out and you can't let Xiaobao be bullied!"

The eldest prince looked deep and nodded.

The sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, and Ahn sat up straight with difficulty and looked out the door.

Xiaobao took a step forward and ran into the room. When he saw the grandma lying on the bed, he felt the depression of the atmosphere in the room as young as he was!

He paused, mustered up the courage to trot to the bed, "Ah Mi!" The child's crisp shouts broke the condensed atmosphere in the room.

"Oh!" My grandma agreed loudly, and her eyes filled with kindness and wet the corners of her eyes.

"Amn, what's wrong with you?" Xiaobao stared at Amn's face in confusion. At a young age, Lao Cheng raised his hand and touched Amn's forehead. "Are you infected with the cold? My mother said she should eat more bark so that she won't get sick. Did you not eat bark?"

The bark pulls the throat, and the taste is disgusting! This is a sentence Ailian often said when she tricked Xiaobao into eating the bark.

The bark that children don’t love is a treasure in the eyes of adults! These days, even the bark cannot be peeled off!

The bare trunk cannot resist drought, and even the century-old tree has dried its roots.
