Chapter 65: I Killed Him
In the kitchen, Bai Ye was standing in front of the stove with his back to me, stirring the porridge in the pot with a spoon. She looked like she had taken a shower and changed, and although I don't remember what she wore last night, it was certainly not the white T-shirt she was wearing now. Her hair had been washed, and her once curly and fluffy shawl had now been turned into a straight ponytail. Not to mention, as soon as she changed her hair and clothes, she looked much more refreshed just from the back, and she felt a lot better.
I walked over slowly, a little embarrassed, and said, "That...... Thank you! ”
White Night heard my voice and turned his head. When I saw her face again, I froze. This...... Is it White Nights? Why is it not the same as what I saw last night? Clean and fair skin, a pair of moist and bright eyes, small pink lips...... Is this still the white night last night, which was full of black and white and looked extremely ugly?
"No thanks!" Bai Ye looked at me and showed a bright smile, which blinded my eyes even more. Seeing me looking at her stupidly, Bai Ye lowered his head embarrassedly and said: "I was ignorant before, I wanted to be fashionable in everything, learn the style of those fashionable girls in Hong Kong dramas, and dress myself up as a ghost." In the past, my father was here, and no matter what troubles I caused or what grievances I suffered, he would bear them for me. I also developed a lazy and idle personality. I used to think that I was very beautiful, but now I think about it, I feel so stupid! At the end, a self-deprecating smile appeared on Bai Ye's face.
"If a person is not a sage, he can be without fault, and knowing his mistakes can improve greatly! If you are willing to change your past mistakes and be a good man, Uncle Bai can also be reincarnated with peace of mind! Don't blame yourself, the days to come will be long! As long as you take good care of your grandmother and can let her die, you can live up to Uncle Bai's expectations of you! I wanted to pat her on the shoulder to comfort her, but when my hand was raised, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I put it down again.
"Hmmm! I will, thank you! A light smile appeared on Bai Ye's face, and she blinked and asked, "Little master, I don't know what your name is?" You should be about my age, right? ”
I nodded, scratched the back of my head, and replied, "Well, I'll be fifteen in a few days!" My name is Lin Xi! ”
"Lin Xi? Is it the Lin Xi who came over from the dream? Bai Ye blinked, stirred the gruel in the pot with one hand, and asked with a smile. I continued to nod and said "um" softly!
"Lin Xi, how did you become a Taoist priest? You went to work as a Taoist priest, so are you still in school? Bai Ye looked at me curiously and asked. I shook my head and said, "I'm not going to school anymore, I'm only going to school after elementary school!" In fact...... I didn't think I'd become a Taoist priest. It's just that there was a sudden change in my family, and my family died...... My master saw that I was pitiful, so he took me in and asked me to learn Taoism with him. It can be regarded as giving me a skill so that I won't starve to death in the future! ”
After listening to my words, Bai Ye's eyes showed sympathy and guilt, and she sighed softly and said, "Lin Xi, you are really far worse than me!" When you lose your family, follow your master to devote yourself to cultivation and learn a skill. As for me, since my mom died, I've been giving up on myself...... In the end, I became a little sister...... He killed my father......" As he spoke, Bai Ye's voice choked again.
"Don't you cry......" I didn't feel any sympathy when I saw Bai Ye crying before, but at this time, I was a little overwhelmed when I saw her crying, "Don't you cry, don't you already know that you're wrong?" The days to come are still so long, you can learn the craft slowly! Besides, your father's death was an accident and has nothing to do with you! ”
"No...... My dad was killed by me, it was my ......" Bai Ye cried even more fiercely, she squatted on the ground and covered her face and cried: "It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, they wouldn't bet...... They won't go drag racing without betting...... They don't go drag racing...... There will be no car accidents...... It's all me...... It's all my fault......"
I was stunned for a while, no wonder Bai Ye's kneeling posture seemed to be atoning for her sins, no wonder she was so scared when she saw Bai Youyuan's ghost for the first time, no wonder she cried and said that she was wrong, let Bai Youyuan forgive her, no wonder I always felt a little strange when I saw her, it turned out that the root of Bai Youyuan's death was her. I didn't say anything for a long time, I frowned and thought for a while before squatting down and persuading: "Bai Ye, this is just an accident, and you don't want such a thing to happen." He won't blame you for your father! ”
"I know Dad won't blame me...... No matter how big a mistake I make, he won't blame me, but I blame myself, I hate myself......" Bai Ye covered his mouth and suppressed his crying, afraid that the old lady who was going to sleep in the hall would wake up! Seeing her like this, I let out a long sigh again, people are always like this, why wait until you lose to know how to cherish it? Liu Xiaoquan is like this, and so is Bai Ye. If you could have realized your mistakes before they happened, these tragedies would not have happened!
I didn't know what to say, so I took a spoon from her hand and stirred the gruel in the pot. Bai Ye cried for a while, and after venting the suppressed pain and guilt in her heart, she went to the bathroom to wash her face and walked out.
Her eyes were red and her eyelids were slightly swollen, but these could not hide her beautiful face at all. She looked into the pot and saw that the gruel was already viscous, so she took a bowl and multiplied it three times.
"White Night, what happened to the man who hit your father? Did you turn yourself in? "Either way, I still hope that those who make mistakes will pay for their mistakes.
Bai Ye lowered his head for a moment before saying, "He was also seriously injured, and the car flew out after hitting my father." I'm still lying in the hospital! The police have already gone to the hospital for questioning! ”
"Oh......" I nodded, seeing that Bai Ye didn't seem to want to hold the person responsible for the death, I guess there was already a promise of some benefits! Also, in a situation like Bai Ye's house, it is better to let that side lose her life than to let that side accompany some money, so that she and her grandmother don't have to work so hard!
After a simple meal of gruel and pickles for breakfast, I went to the village shop and called the crematorium. The crematorium's cars came quickly, and in this era, although the state has required cremation, there are still many people in the countryside who quietly hide their burials. Therefore, it is rare to have a business, and the people from the crematorium are much more active.
I followed Bai Ye to the crematorium, the old lady was old, and she was sad last night, I was afraid that she would be yin qi when she went to the crematorium, so I let her stay at home. When I arrived at the crematorium, I paid for all the services out of my own pocket. Bai Ye said that the money would be returned to me when I got the compensation later, but I refused. I just thought it was the taxi fare that Bai Youyuan took me around last night!
