Chapter 39: The Cause of Sadness
"Let's rest early, it's been a busy day today, by the way, do you have any arrangements for tomorrow?" In the evening, the three of them returned home and walked to the door, Jin Guo asked.
Lei Baoquan thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow morning, I will call Sun Duo and them first to see if there are any new discoveries, and then decide on the specific arrangements." ”
"Okay, then remember to let me know tomorrow." Jin Guo said.
"You'd better spend time with your sister at home, it's rare to come once." Lei Baoquan said.
Jin Guo looked back at the door of his house and said, "Bao'er? She doesn't need to accompany her, now that her eyes are better, she wants to walk by herself, and she doesn't want me to get in the way. By the way, she will also come to Yungang City in a while, she signed up for a pastry training class, thinking that she could open a bakery in the future. ”
"Yes, then the two of you can start a business together!" Lei Baoquan said.
Jin Guo smiled, glanced at Li Bai, who was silent next to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xiaobai, rest early, you have worked hard today, don't be bitter, who didn't say anything about you." ”
Lei Baoquan also glanced at Li Bai, who raised his head and reluctantly smiled at Jin Guo, who nodded and went home.
Lei Baoquan opened the door and entered the house, and asked Li Bai while taking off his coat: "Are you taking a bath?" If I don't wash it, I'll wash it. ”
"Hmm." Li Bai agreed and did not speak.
Lei Baoquan looked at it, didn't say anything, and walked into the bathroom. When taking a bath, the water flowed down his head and all over his body, wrapping himself with warmth, but Lei Baoquan suddenly sighed, did he speak more heavily to Li Bai before? Except for those who debated in the bureau, when he was eating in the restaurant just now, he kept repeating his original views, trying to explain to Li Bai, but at that time, Li Bai did not have the momentum to argue with himself before. Instead, he listened silently, which surprised and embarrassed him.
Could it be that one of his own words made Li Bai disgusted? Li Bai has always been a big grinning person, and he doesn't take anything to heart, although he always quarrels with himself on weekdays, but he has never made an awkward fuss, this time......
A hasty bath. Lei Baoquan got dressed and walked out, wanting to chat with Li Bai, but saw that he was already lying down.
Lei Baoquan opened his mouth, but he still didn't say anything, so he had to pack his things quietly.
It was late at night, and the two men were lying in the dark, neither of them sleeping. Lei Baoquan thought about it, and always felt that it was really inappropriate for him to do it himself. The relationship between uncles and nephews like theirs, although they are not as close as blood, is at least an elder themselves, and they need to be more generous.
"Did you sleep?" After thinking for a long time, Lei Baoquan suddenly said.
"Nope." Li Bai replied.
"I... Did I say something wrong today that hurt you? Lei Baoquan asked.
Li Bai paused for a moment and said slowly, "No." ”
After hearing this, Lei Baoquan sat up and turned on the bedside lamp. said: "Xiaobai, we are both straightforward people. If you have anything to say, make it clear to your face, and there is no overnight enmity. And you also know that I'm a person, I never care about these things, maybe I didn't think too much about it when I spoke before, so if there is something wrong, uncle apologizes to you. ”
"Not really. Uncle Lei, you think too much, not because of what you said. Li Bai said.
"What's the reason for that? You didn't say anything this night, it's so abnormal. When Lei Baoquan heard that it was not because of himself, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Asked.
Li Bai took a long breath and said, "I suddenly thought of something after listening to what you said, so I unconsciously felt a little depressed. ”
"What's the matter?" Lei Baoquan felt strange, he would not let Li Bai become like this under normal circumstances, even if he had seen a ghost before, he did not look like this.
Li Bai sat up, picked up the cup next to him and took a sip of water, Lei Baoquan kept staring at him intently, waiting for him to say the reason.
"Didn't I go to Granny Meng before?" Li Bai said.
"yes, what's wrong?" Lei Baoquan asked.
"Granny Meng reminded me of one thing at the time." Li Bai paused and continued: "She said that she had seen my Bazi before, and calculated that I might have a big catastrophe in the future, and this catastrophe was more powerful than the previous ones, so let me be more careful." ”
Lei Baoquan was stunned after hearing this, and thought for a while before saying, "What did Granny Meng say? ”
Li Bai nodded.
"She... Are you sure? After Lei Baoquan finished speaking, he scolded himself in his heart, do you still need to ask? Granny Meng's skills have been seen by herself, and this old man is a very good person, why wouldn't she say this for no reason?
"That's what she told me, but she admits she can't tell when, so she just told me to keep an eye on it and try not to participate in dangerous activities." Li Bai said.
"Then ......" Lei Baoquan was a little in a dilemma, and said, "Why didn't you say this earlier?" ”
"I didn't pay much attention to it, but when I saw the two couples today, I suddenly thought of what Granny Meng said, and I was touched." Li Bai replied.
"Why do you feel when you see them?" Lei Baoquan wondered.
Li Bai looked at him and said with a serious expression: "I'm thinking, with my current luck, it's not certain whether I can live to their age." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, the whole room fell silent, and a solemn atmosphere permeated the room, Lei Baoquan was even more frightened by Li Bai's words, why did this young man, who had always been optimistic and giggling about everything, suddenly have such thoughts.
"Huh? What did I think? Can you think of something useful? Pure thinking there! Why can't you live? I didn't say anything when I was older than you, didn't you change the law and hope that I would die early? Lei Baoquan hurriedly interrupted, wanting to break this atmosphere.
Li Bai smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Lei, to be honest, I didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world before, and there were so many strange things, but I don't know why, since I came here, one thing after another has made me gradually change my opinion. I used to think that I was a very lucky person, I was born in a very good family, my parents loved me very much, and my relatives and elders also took care of me, and my life was carefree. But now I feel that I am very unlucky, so bad that no matter when, there is a possibility of seeing dirty things and encountering bad luck, in fact, I am really afraid that in my future life, every moment will be like this, and I am also afraid that it will bring unnecessary trouble to the people around me. ”
Lei Baoquan looked at Li Bai's lost expression, and he was a little sad when he heard it, and his eyes were slightly moist, this was probably the second time he was moved by this young man. He quickly adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "I said you kid, can you cheer up!" How do I usually teach you? (To be continued.) )
