"Huijuan, okay, don't get excited." Dad helped mom get her into the car and looked at me: "Let's go, Qiao Qiao."
The aunt wanted to say something else, but the eldest uncle pulled her aside: "Okay, just shut up. Now don't everyone think it was you who killed Xiaobao? Who can guess that you have good intentions? This is the same as
I was the same as before, I was picked up by someone for no reason, okay, let’s go back first! Now everyone is not calm, and it’s useless to say anything! Stop beating you!”
"Then... Da Zhi, please advise Huijuan."
The aunt was pulled to the car by her uncle, and she turned to look at her father, who kept urging her.
Dad didn't respond, but directly raised the window and started the car.
I sat in the back and watched my aunt and her husband get into the car. My mother’s head was resting on the seat, slightly tilted. Even without looking at her face, I knew she must be crying, and I sighed silently in my heart.
After all, my mother may have to wait for a long time to deal with Xiaobao's departure...
And the most important thing is that the little baby left too quickly and in too much pain. It obviously felt like something that could be avoided, so the parents must be blaming themselves. Plus, the aunt is still hanging around her, so what kind of feeling is that?
, I think it’s not that complicated.
When we got home, my grandpa was still waiting for us at the door on crutches. I stepped forward to help him go back to the house to rest. Grandpa did not dare to say too much about Xiaobao in front of my parents. He watched my father directly help my mother go upstairs.
He just asked me in a low voice: "Buried?"
I hummed in response, and my grandpa sighed and wiped his tears with his hand: "That child is pitiful. He has become wilted after getting sick. He has become a lot more sensible. Who would have thought..."
My eldest uncle also drove into the yard in his car. I interrupted my grandpa: "Stop talking about grandpa, the most important thing now is to let this matter go away as soon as possible. Since the facts cannot be changed, it is better for parents to forget about it as soon as possible."
Alright."
I helped my grandpa into his room and sat on the bed. My grandpa looked at me and kept sighing: "We all know we have to forget, but it's not that easy. The child left in such a hurry. If you don't, you can't."
, it was originally a small thing, just to show that it is not the beginning of winter, his aunt made some dumplings for everyone to eat, but the child was greedy, and your mother did not let him eat, so he became angry. Later, you
The aunt secretly got a few for him. Who knew, it would be such a big deal after eating. Hey, your aunt is not very good, but she is okay with Xiaobao. This matter, hey!
Forget it, forget it, Xiaobao is not lucky enough, a kidney transplant has caused so many sins, spent so much money, and now he is gone."
I hugged my grandpa gently and said, "Grandpa, don't get angry. As grandma said, everyone has their own destiny. Just think about it."
Grandpa shook his head: "It's a sudden disaster. Isn't this just a sudden disaster? Jiaolong, you are my grandpa's eyeball. You must not get into any trouble. Otherwise, grandpa's old bones are really not strong enough."
Living."
A wry smile appeared at the corner of my mouth: "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Why are you dragging me with you? Don't worry, I will be fine. If you don't bother me, I will hang out in front of your eyes every day. It's you, but I'm sure
You have to take care of yourself, you know."
The old man is getting older and his sleep quality is already poor. I was really afraid that my grandpa would think too much about it again when a white-haired person gave a black-haired person something sad. So before I left, I made a cup of milk for my grandpa and mixed it in it.
I took a sleeping pill, otherwise, if I leave, my grandpa will definitely be tossing and turning all night without being able to sleep.
After serving my grandpa, I turned off the light in the bedroom and walked out. My aunt was standing in the living room on the first floor, still holding her cell phone and making calls with tears in her eyes. When she saw me looking at her, she turned away.
He kept saying: "Ling'er, please come back quickly. It's really not my fault. I don't know how to deal with it. If Dazhi and Huijuan treat me like this again, then what will happen to us?"
How can we live under the same roof in the future? Xiaobao's incident was just an accident, so why is it so small... Okay, stop crying now, and stop talking about me. Come back quickly and help me persuade.
I advise your eldest brother, um, don’t mention that Qiao Qiao, okay? If it weren’t for the tiger she said, your sister-in-law wouldn’t be so angry with me. Let me tell you, it’s all because of that little bastard’s curse..."
Zong Bao was standing at the door. When he saw me coming out, he glanced at me. His eyes were slightly unhappy like a dead fish. Seeing this, I immediately twitched the corner of my mouth and said, "You think her words are unpleasant. Just get used to it."
Looking at me, Zong Bao opened his mouth and spit out only one word: "Zuo."
I nodded, but there was still a hint of helplessness at the corner of my mouth: "If she didn't do it, she wouldn't be her."
With that said, I walked into the yard and looked up at my parents' bedroom. The lights were turned off. Then I looked at Xiaobao's house. Looking at the bright light in the window, I sighed and glanced at Zong Bao: "
……Let's go."
After taking out the plastic woven bag that Zong Bao packed with his gifts, I took him directly back to the two-bedroom house where I live now. As I watched Zong Bao packing his gifts, I was still thinking about renting a two-bedroom house.
How wise.
Xiaoni's home is here, so she doesn't have to live with me. At that time, she also said that she would let me rent a single room to save some money, but I insisted on renting a two-bedroom apartment. Of course, I mainly thought about my grandpa.
Unexpectedly, the extra room was actually prepared for Zong Bao.
I separated a small room in the living room, which was specially used to worship Lao Xian'er. After Zong Bao packed his things, he washed his hands and went to burn incense. Then he knelt down and said something silently. I wanted to wait.
After he finished offering the incense, I offered it again so that I could talk about Xiaobao. But I didn’t expect that Zongbao wouldn’t get up as soon as he knelt down. He clasped his hands and looked at the ranking of my old Xian’er.
I don’t know what they are talking about, even if they are chatting about home affairs, they would not be chatting for such a long time.
When he got up, I took a look at the time. It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night. He had been holding these three incense sticks for two hours. Even a great person like me has never chatted with my own fairy for such a long time!
Probably feeling that I was unhappy with him, Zong Bao looked at me and said: "This is my first time to meet three immortals, so I talked about it for a longer time."
I frowned and looked closely at his face: "Zong Bao, how did you know that you are my second great god? Have you known it since you were a child, or..."
"The fairy in you told me."
Zong Bao replied calmly: "Xian'er asked me to come, so I came."
With that said, he walked directly towards his room and looked back at me: "I have been hearing a voice in my ears since I was a child, telling me to wait for someone named Bai Jingqi. When she gets here, I will know everything.
, and you know what you are going to do. Although your name has changed, I recognize this face. Don’t ask me why I came here. I am your second great god. I help you and I have a favor to repay."
"Repay a favor? What kind of favor are you repaying? Is it to repay me for curing your illness?"
Zong Bao was probably tired from speaking such a long sentence for the first time, so he opened his mouth: "I am sick just to wait for you. Everything is cause and effect."
I was anxious. Seeing that he was about to close the door, I quickly stepped forward: "Wait a minute! That's it. I won't ask anything else. Just explain my name to me. What happened to Cheng Baize and Zhuo Jing Anqi in his previous life?"
What does it have to do with me?"
"Don't ask about your past life..."
"I know, I know, I don't ask, but you just tell me a little bit about fate. I heard Shengzi tell me about it. What's wrong with An Qi and me? Why do I have her in my name!"
"Angel?"
Zong Bao frowned slightly and looked at me as if he was thinking: "An Qi..."
I nodded: "Yes, what's going on with An Qi? Have I ever owed her anything? Why would Bai Jingqi refer to her like this!"
The surname is the identity and the first name is the fate. I really don’t understand what fate I have with An Qi?!
"Have not heard."
I was stunned and was about to step forward: "What, you didn't..."
'boom!'
Oh, looking at the door panel in front of me, I was really lucky that it didn't hit my nose. This guy just threw me three words and closed the door. When could Zong Bao's speaking speed be as fast as the closing speed? I really
Happy!
He raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Zong Bao, what do you mean? Maybe she has changed her name. She may not have been called An Qi before. I just want to know what the three people represented by these three words mean."
There was no sound inside the door, so I knocked twice more: "Zong Bao?!"
Continuous silence...
I sighed. It seems that no one can explain this to me clearly. They told me not to ask. I know it myself, but this little universe called curiosity will keep spinning when it hears this.
When I feel particularly anxious, I have an urge to find out one, two, three right away.
After a brief tidying up, I went to bed. What I thought was a smooth day turned out to be so many things that happened inexplicably. Lying on the bed, I put the handful of Xiaobao's ashes into a box. Today
I was too tired and not suitable for breaking the curse. But when I saw the ashes, I still thought of Xiaobao and didn’t dare to think too much. I felt sad all together. I sighed and muttered softly to the dark ceiling:
"Little baby, please reincarnate as soon as possible. In your next life, you must grow up healthy and happy..."
I fell into a drowsy sleep this time, dreaming one after another. Because I had too many dreams, I was very tired from sleeping. I forced myself to wake up. Before dawn, I got up and drank a glass of water. After I lay down, I turned over my head.
I stood up, but as soon as I closed my eyes, I seemed to be in a dream again...
I was walking on the bluestone pavement, and the buildings next to me were all unfamiliar to me. They looked like houses from the Republic of China period. Each building had a retro European style. I was looking around with a puzzled look on my face, but I could faintly hear the sound of fighting. It seemed that
There was some kind of guidance, so I looked for the sound and walked away. Suddenly, I heard the crisp sound of high heels hitting the pavement behind me. I turned around and my eyes widened in an instant.
I wasn't looking in the mirror, but I saw myself. If I hadn't clearly been in a dream, I would have been scared to death, seeing a face that was exactly the same as mine coming towards me. The only difference was that I was dressed elegantly.
She wore a long skirt and high heels, and her figure was much smaller than mine now. Her smiling and generous look was in sharp contrast to my surprise at this time——
"You..." I looked at her with wide eyes: "You are... ah..."
Her footsteps did not stop at all, her eyes did not turn towards me, and her body even passed directly in front of me. I was startled and suddenly realized that I was in a dream. I saw this in a dream.
After looking at the surrounding environment, I seemed to realize something immediately. This might be my previous life...
Thinking about it, I quickly followed her. No, in other words, I followed myself.
The sound of fighting became louder and louder. I stopped in front of me and looked around. My expression turned slightly confused. I don’t know when there started to be a lot more people around me. Many of them were wearing long coats and others.
The man in the cheongsam passed by me and my self in the long skirt. I followed that self's eyes and saw a doorway similar to a restaurant. Several men were surrounding a man wearing tatters who was lying on the ground.
The bad people kept yelling and kicking, but the strange thing was that the people who appeared in the dream stayed far away when they saw someone beating someone, or even walked around without stopping to watch.
I was startled, and before I could recover, I saw myself walking towards that side. I followed closely until she walked into the group of people and shouted: "Stop!"
My body felt numb for no reason. If she were my previous life, her voice would obviously be much better than mine, because my voice is a little deeper, and it is by no means this clear and sweet. Although I can tell that she is a girl when speaking normally, as long as I
I suppressed it deliberately, because most people can't tell the difference between male and female. However, it still feels strange to have such a pleasant voice praising one's previous life, and a feeling of shamelessness arises spontaneously.
But her voice was quite useful. Those people immediately stopped and looked at her. To be precise, I looked at me in the long skirt: "Who are you!"
She frowned: "Don't care who I am, beating someone like this will kill them!"
The men pointed at the people huddled together on the ground: "Why shouldn't he be beaten if he eats the King's meal?! If he can't be beaten to death, he will be killed. If he is, he deserves to be beaten to death!"
She looked at the men: "It's just a meal, it can't kill anyone!" After saying that, she raised her eyebrows and said: "I'll give him how much he ate!"
Drink, I really admire the person I was in my previous life, so domineering.
The men took the money she gave them and kicked the person lying on the ground: "You're lucky! Spare your life! Let's go!!"
The person lying on the ground was motionless, and his body was twitching slightly. She sighed, squatted down and put the remaining money on the ground: "The war is in chaos, and life is like an ant, so take care of yourself."
I also sighed, and suddenly there was a feeling in my heart, how beautiful a harmonious society is!
Seeing her turning around to leave, I continued to follow, but the person lying on the ground suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
This sound...
I couldn't help but turn around and looked at the man lying on the ground slowly raising his face, and I felt a little excited in my heart, Zong Bao?!
"Zong Bao, why are you..."
I instinctively wanted to go forward and help Zongbao, but I couldn't touch him at all. He got up from the ground in disgrace, grabbed the money and ran directly to me: "I don't want this money, I ate it for nothing, so of course I want it."
A beating is my meal money. Just wait and I will get your money back!"
"Come back! If you go to ask for money again, won't you get beaten?"
She was more anxious: "Put away the money, find a job, have hands and feet, and you can support yourself no matter what."
"I can't read."
The Zongbao in the dream responded helplessly: "The world is not good now. I have been looking for it for many days. I am really hungry today..."
"well."
I looked at myself and sighed again: "Then you follow me. I will help you find a job. I won't say you will be rich, but I can also guarantee you three meals and one night's sleep. What do you think?"
"Really? Thank you so much. I don't know your name yet. I will repay you for your kindness the next day!"
I watched myself gently raise the corners of my mouth and spit out three words - "Bai Jingqi."
Bai, Jing, Qi?!
I looked at that face carefully, but I couldn't feel it anyway, so I got very close. This was indeed my previous life... This is Bai Jingqi?!
Could this be the reason why Zong Bao wanted to help me?! It wasn’t because I cured his evil disease, but because I saved him in my previous life!
Suddenly, I felt someone pushing me hard. The surrounding scene disappeared instantly. I was a little scared. I didn’t want to wake up like this!
After I came back to my senses and before I could see clearly where this was, I was startled by the crackling firecrackers at my feet. There were many people around, wearing bright red and purple clothes with bright smiles on their faces. I raised my eyes and saw
Seeing a long motorcade in front of me, someone shouted loudly in my ear: "The bride is leaving!!!"
Through the car window, I actually saw Bai Jingqi sitting inside wearing a white gauze with an indifferent expression. I was shocked and ran up in a few steps: Hey! Who are you going to marry!!"
Until I ran to the car window and heard the sound of joy, I stretched my head and looked at the man in a suit sitting next to Bai Jingqi in the car. The man had a smile on his face: "Let's drive."
I suddenly froze, looking at Zong Bao sitting in the driving seat and turning back with a smile: "Miss, we are going out..."
Two loud noises like two kicks came from my ears, and the sound made me sit up from the bed: "Cheng Baize!!!"
The sun shone into the room through the curtains. I was breathing heavily. My clothes were sticky and clinging to my body. I was so sweaty... How could it be possible, how could it be possible, how could I marry Cheng Baize?!
Turning around, I faced a face with too many white eyes: "Ah!!"
Zong Bao looked at me slightly innocently: "What's wrong with you..."
"You want to die!" I really collapsed and looked at him: "How could you just enter my room!!"
"I didn't come in casually." Zong Bao stretched out his hand and pointed to the side: "I came in with your sister-in-law."
Turning my eyes, I saw my sister-in-law standing at the end of my bed, looking at me with a worried look on her face: "Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with you?"
I was in a terrible mess, my heart was in agony, and I didn’t know if it was a dream or just being frightened by Zong Bao. I waved my hand: "I'm fine, I'm sorry Zong Bao, please just leave me alone..."
"Did you have a nightmare? I just heard you yelling outside. I was a little worried, so I followed Zong Bao in. Is everything okay?"
My sister-in-law sat next to me, reached out and patted my back: "You're not scared, are you?"
I put my hand on my forehead, and my mind was still filled with the dream just now. I seemed to understand that there was Zong Bao when giving birth to a child, and why there were fate but not fate, and there was fate but not fate. It turned out that when I was Bai Jingqi, I was married to Cheng Baize, and it was possible.
, when I was Bai Jingqi, I also liked Zhuo Jing, but in the end I married Cheng Baize, so there was no fate, because I wanted to be with Zhuo Jing, so there was no fate.
No wonder, no wonder Cheng Baize has been helping me like this. I had this fate in my previous life!
"Qiaoqiao, what's wrong with you? Are you really scared?!" Seeing that I didn't answer, my sister-in-law reached out and touched my head again: "Are you thinking about Xiaobao?"
I came back to my senses and shook my head: "No, I just had some dreams..." As I said that, I glanced at the clock on the wall: "It's afternoon!!"
Oh my god, I actually slept for so long! Am I going to sleep to death?
"You didn't wake up no matter what I called you outside the door." Zong Bao said calmly: "I thought you fell asleep."
I scratched my head: "How can I not wake you up, sister-in-law, I..."
My sister-in-law waved her hand: "It's okay. It's normal to be tired. I heard what your father said yesterday. You came back very late because of the busy work. In addition, Zong Bao also came over. You still have to arrange for him. I
I know it in my heart and I won’t blame you.”
I frowned: "Well, sister-in-law, when did you arrive? Did you go to my parents' place? Did you go to see... did you go to see Xiaobao..."
My sister-in-law looked at me, sighed and opened her mouth to respond: "I arrived in the morning, and I went directly to see your parents first. Your parents' side... Hey, I feel uncomfortable when I think of Xiaobao."
As she said that, my sister-in-law's eyes turned slightly red: "I don't know how to persuade her. Xiaobao has already left. It's useless no matter how much I say. Your mother is angry with your aunt, and your father also thinks about it.
Xiaobao felt uncomfortable. I was afraid that if I talked too much, it would make them uncomfortable, so I went to take a look at the place where Xiaobao was buried, and then came over to see you. Qiaoqiao, tell me, I reminded your dad before I left.
Mom, I’ve done this so many times, why, why does this happen again!”
I wiped the sweat from my forehead and lowered my eyes: "Sister-in-law, let this matter go by now. It's too late to say anything. In fact, it's my fault. I should have paid more attention. Maybe, if I had paid more attention, little sister
Bao is still fine now."
"Why are you so concerned? You are in this environment. Your aunt doesn't understand you at all. Hey, my eldest sister now also knows that she was wrong, but what's the use of being wrong? Xiaobao's
I can't get my life back, but now they are still living under the same roof. I don't know when this hurdle will be overcome. I don't have the ability. I don't know how to persuade you. Maybe, if you wait for a long time, you
My parents have let go of the little baby thing for a while, and now we can stay with the eldest sister, so that the relationship can be restored."
I didn't answer. I wasn't sure about this. Whether my parents could forgive my aunt or not was up to her.
"Sister-in-law, did you come back by yourself? Where is Tianci?"
I want to talk about other topics, but I still can't think about Xiaobao now, let alone my aunt.
"Tianci is taking care of Sister Yulan. Oh, by the way..." After saying that, my sister-in-law paused and looked directly at Zong Bao: "Zong Bao, I was only talking to you just now. Now hurry up and give it to you."
Mom makes a phone call. You can leave right away. Sister Yulan and brother-in-law will be worried!"
I was stunned for a moment and looked at Zong Bao: "Didn't you say that Aunt Yulan knew you were here?"
"How do you know? When I sent Tianci away, Sister Yulan was so worried that she cried. She said that Zongbao left a note saying that he was going out and left. Zongbao, how could you not pick up your mother?
Where is the phone? She is so worried about you!"
After listening to what my sister-in-law said, I finally understood. Isn’t that right? If everyone knew that Zong Bao was coming, even if Aunt Yulan didn’t call me, my sister-in-law would have called me. At least she would have asked me to pick her up at the station.
How could he just come here on his own after a moment or something?
"I told them not to worry about me." Zong Bao replied numbly: "I know the address and I can't lose it. If I tell my mother, she may not be willing to let me out."
My sister-in-law frowned: "I asked you why you asked me where Qiaoqiao's shop was opened a few days ago. If I hadn't come to Qiaoqiao, I really wouldn't have known you were here yesterday. Hey, why don't you go and give it to me now?
Please give your mother a call. You have to reassure your mother and go quickly."
Zong Bao didn't answer, looked at me, nodded, turned around and walked out.
"This child is so worrying."
I glanced at my sister-in-law and said, "Zong Bao came here to help me. There were so many things that happened yesterday that I forgot about. I'll give Aunt Yulan a call."
My sister-in-law nodded and looked at me: "It's still a small matter here for Zong Bao. As long as he's fine, it's fine. But remember Qiao Qiao. When I was at your mother's place in the morning, her expression was not good. She kept saying
, you are the only daughter left. Although they did something wrong before, and even did some things that were very unfair to you, they are your parents, and you have to spend more time to accompany them."
I nodded and said, "I know, I will."
As I was talking, my phone buzzed twice. I picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Cheng Baize. When I opened it, there were only four words: "Today is the beginning of winter."
I bit my lip, knowing what he was referring to, and felt tight, but I still replied, "Xiaobao is gone."
After a long while, Cheng Baize replied with four words, 'As expected.'
"That friend of yours?" My sister-in-law looked at me and asked, and I nodded: "Well, I once told him that I would do my best to save Xiaobao's life..."
My sister-in-law hugged me: "Don't think about it, Qiaoqiao, you did your best."
I raised my face and looked at the ceiling. I took a deep breath and felt sour in my heart - if I were a little more spiritual and could see more clearly, I could clearly know where Xiaobao's fate was, even if it was a loss.
I think I would have saved him if I had a little more life, but unfortunately, it’s too late to think about anything now. (To be continued)
