There is a hint of autumn coolness in the humid air.
It's autumn, and it's a little cold in the morning and night. Lin Zheng is in good health and isn't afraid of the cold, so he still wears half-sleeved shorts and sneakers.
Xiao Rui's father had already put on his coat at this time. Although it was old, it was very clean.
At this time, he had his hair cut, his beard shaved, and he took a shower. He looked much better.
It's just that his hair has turned gray, making it look a bit dazzling in the night.
The wrinkles on his forehead are deep, like cracked bark.
"Mr. Lin, where is Xiao Rui?"
Xiao Rui's father asked with some apprehension.
"Come with me."
Lin Zheng took Xiao Rui's father to the riverside where Xiao Rui's accident happened, and said: "This is the place where Xiao Rui's accident happened.
I checked the information, and it seems that there was a flood that year, so Xiao Rui’s body was buried in the sand, so that no one found it for so many years.”
"My poor child..." Xiao Rui's father knelt on the ground with a thud, and tears could not stop flowing down again.
Listening to this sad and suppressed cry, Lin Zheng's nose became sore and his eyes became wet.
"Uncle, my condolences.
Now I'll call Xiao Rui, if you have anything to say, just tell him."
Lin Zheng comforted him and said.
Xiao Rui's father nodded quickly and took out the things in the bag.
These are the toys I bought for Xiaorui back then, and they have been stored well over the years.
There are also several children's clothes, which are also well preserved.
When Lin Zheng called, Xiao Rui appeared in front of him. Now that Lin Zheng was protected by a Buddhist amulet, he no longer had to worry about Xiao Rui hurting him.
"Big brother..." Xiao Rui timidly called Lin Zheng.
Not far behind Lin Zheng, Lin Huixin was staring at Xiao Rui, obviously protecting Lin Zheng secretly.
Lin Zheng nodded, pointed at Xiao Rui's father who was in tears and said: "Xiao Rui, I brought your father here and told him about you. Do you have anything to say to your father now?
I can pass it on to you."
"Thank you big brother.
Please tell dad that I miss him and mom. I have been stuck here for so many years and I have been missing them in my heart."
Xiao Rui looked at his father and shed tears of grievance.
Lin Zheng felt sad and conveyed Xiao Rui's words to Xiao Rui's father.
Xiao Rui's father cried even more sadly after hearing this: "Xiao Rui, my good son, your parents miss you too.
For so many years, Dad has thought about you like crazy. We thought you were lost and searched for you for several years. It wasn’t until that year that your sister made a drunken mistake and told the truth, and I didn’t know that you had been in an accident.
"
"Dad, I'm sorry for you. It's because dad didn't protect you well, you were still so young...Xiao Rui, I know you hate your sister, and I want to beat her to death, but after all, she is also our child and your biological sister.
I can’t do it, can you please forgive me?”
Xiao Rui burst into tears after listening to his father's words. He even choked up and said: "Dad, don't be sad, I don't blame you... As for my sister, I think she has also suffered from the condemnation of her conscience over the years.
, and you should stop blaming her.
I'm so happy to see my dad again today..."
Lin Zheng conveyed Xiao Rui's words to Xiao Rui's father, and Xiao Rui's father burst into tears like a child.
"My poor child, my sensible child...Dad misses you so much..."
"Brother, now that I have achieved my wish, it is time to leave.
Please tell dad and ask him to take good care of himself and live happily."
"I will.
Just go ahead with peace of mind."
Lin Zheng wiped the tears on his face and agreed.
"Brother, I said I wanted to repay you. At the place where my bones are buried, there is a box of gold and silver jewelry that washed down from the upper reaches. I don't know the specific origin, but after so many years, it must be the same.
Now I will borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha and give them to my eldest brother, as my repayment to you."
Xiao Rui said.
Lin Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, I will take out the things later and hand them over to your parents."
"No, I repay you with these things, and my parents are not happy to bear them, so you can keep them yourself."
Xiao Rui said solemnly.
Lin Zheng thought for a while and then nodded. Even if the things were not given to Xiao Rui's parents, he had other ways to help them.
There was no wind and waves, and the river returned to calm after a violent fluctuation. Xiao Rui left, feeling at ease.
At this time, the system prompt came: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for fulfilling the unfulfilled wish of the resentful soul and gaining 350 merit points!"
The merit gained this time was more than what he had given to Lin Huixin before. Lin Zheng guessed that it had something to do with helping Xiao Rui's parents.
After all, this family is three people, and Lin Huixin is just herself.
"Uncle, Xiaorui has left, he passed away peacefully.
In addition, he asked me to tell you that I hope you live well and live happily.
Don’t think about the past anymore.”
"I will, I will listen to him and live a good life."
Xiao Rui's father nodded repeatedly.
Next, Lin Zheng jumped into the river, dug out Xiao Rui's bones, and handed them to Xiao Rui's father.
As for the box of gold and silver jewelry, he put it into the system locker.
Now that Xiao Rui had solemnly confessed, he didn't want to add any unnecessary extravagance. If there were any problems with these things, it would be bad to cause trouble for them.
Lin Zheng accompanied Xiao Rui's father to lay Xiao Rui to rest overnight. Some of Xiao Rui's clothes and toys were also with him. He hoped that he would have a wonderful childhood in his next life and have a sister who loves him and cherishes him.
"Mr. Lin, thank you, I kowtow to you."
Xiao Rui's father knelt down gratefully.
Lin Zheng hurriedly helped him up and said: "Uncle, don't be like this, Xiao Rui has already thanked him.
I think it’s better not to let Auntie know about this matter, lest she get too sad and be irritated again.”
"That's the truth. After I learned the truth before, I never dared to tell her."
Xiao Rui's father said.
Lin Zheng nodded and said, "Uncle, what are your plans next?"
"Don't worry, since I have promised Xiao Rui that I will live a good life, it will definitely not be like before. I want to find a job and take good care of my children.
I've been crazy and crazy over the years and made her suffer a lot, so now it's my turn to take care of her."
Xiao Rui's father said.
"How about this, how about I help you find a job?"
Lin Zheng said.
The job Lin Zheng was talking about was to donate money to build a primary school. He should work on it for a period of time to get used to it.
When the primary school there is built and Xiao Rui's father can adapt to it, Lin Zheng can help him find other jobs.
The most important thing is to arrange for Xiao Rui's father to go to work. The work is not tiring, and it can be regarded as a disguised help for him.
