Original God's Dark Priest

The clothes in Lin Yaru's hands fell to the ground. She quickly ran to Safire and grabbed her hand in her stunned eyes.

"I..." Safir's mind went blank. She had imagined hundreds of scenarios for meeting her parents, but she never imagined that this would happen right away.

Did her mother recognize herself? is that true?

Her eyes were red and she almost said the title. A man slowly walked out of the house. Seeing this scene, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lin Yaru away, and then explained: "I'm sorry, you two, my family is like this." ...Oh, Aru, you should go back to the house first."

Safire recognized this man at a glance as her former father Su Zhiping.

"Zhiping, have you seen it? This is our daughter. She is back!" Lin Yaru continued to emphasize regardless. Every time she said a word, Su Zhiping's eyes became more sad.

In the end, he really had no choice but to respond: "Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, you can't let people talk at the door. Can you go back first?"

Lin Yaru then turned back and walked towards the house three times a step. As she walked, she would look back at Safiir from time to time: "Promise mom not to leave, okay?"

Until she was sent into the house by Su Zhiping, her eyes always stayed on Safire and never moved away.

After a while, Su Zhiping walked out of the house again and came to Safire and Zhongli. He looked at the gifts and other things in their hands and said with a clear heart: "I'm so sorry. Who are you...?" Can’t you find a way to visit relatives and friends?”

Safire suppressed his emotions and said in a calmer tone: "I am a student in the Chinese Department of Jinda University. My name is Sharp. This is our tutor's assistant named Zhong Yao. I am here for a trip this time. He said that he had a classmate named Su Jin who lived here, so we stopped by to have a look."

"It turned out to be Xiaojin's friend. I'm sorry, Xiaojin...is no longer here." Su Zhiping forced out a smile, "Well, you guys go sit in the room first and have a cup of tea. It's not easy to walk such a long way, so sit down for a while Let’s take a rest.”

Su Zhiping led the two of them into the courtyard and gate, and into the living room. The layout of the living room is still the same as what Safir remembers. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a large transparent space from the north to the south. The lighting and ventilation are very good. Even in summer, it will not be too hot because of the ventilation.

Next to the back door in the northwest is the stairwell. The area blocked by the stairwell to the west is a relatively spacious space with a coffee table and a circle of sofas around the coffee table. There is also a TV hanging on the wall shared with the stairwell. You can sit on the sofa and watch TV when you have nothing to do. It is very comfortable.

The edge of the wall where the TV is hung has undergone some changes. It used to be used to place family photos, but now, the family photo is hung directly above the TV, and the place where the family photo was originally placed has been replaced by a photo. Su Jin's posthumous photo.

My father's favorite tea set is placed on the mahogany coffee table. The lid of the porcelain white teapot is not closed, and the brown tea stains inside the teapot can be vaguely seen.

Seeing this teapot reminded Safire of his childhood. At that time, she cleaned the teapot and prepared to ask her father for credit. As a result, when my father saw the clean teapot, his mood suddenly collapsed, and he gritted his teeth and asked who did it.

How clever is she? When she discovered that her father was not in a good mood, she immediately put the blame on her younger brother. The beating that night was the hardest beating that her younger brother had ever received for her. Even the seven wolves were beaten, and he did not call her out.

After that incident, she really took good care of her brother for a long time. Childhood memories kept coming back, and these memories kept impacting the softness in Safir's heart, making her want to stay and accompany her parents.

Su Zhiping invited the two of them to sit on the sofa, then picked up the tea set and made tea for them.

The elegant fragrance of tea filled the air with the water vapor. This was a smell that Safir was very familiar with. Looking at her father's meticulously combed hair, which was already black and white, she felt very uncomfortable.

But she couldn't recognize him, so she had to grit her teeth to hold back the sadness in her heart, and asked softly: "Uncle...Uncle, can you tell us what happened?"

Su Zhiping's tea-making hand paused, and then he sighed: "You asked about Xiaojin's situation. Alas, the thing is like this..."

As he told it, Safier and the other two people also understood.

It turned out that the news of Su Jin's death was a huge blow to Lin Yaru, so much so that she could never accept the news of her daughter's death. Gradually, she suffered from hypochondriasis and was not in good spirits all day long. Whenever she saw a young girl, she would turn her into a child. As your own daughter.

The family went to many hospitals and saw a psychiatrist for this symptom. They spent a lot of money and took a lot of medicine, but there was still no improvement.

Their family was an ordinary working-class family. Su Zhiping was a teacher, Lin Yaru had just retired, and their son Su Hao was still in college.

When something like this happened, I almost emptied my family’s savings.

"That child has always been very sensible. She knew that her family's financial conditions could not support the cost of her treatment, but, but, how could she be so cruel..." Su Zhiping couldn't help but burst into tears when talking about his daughter's death.

"She is so sensible. She refuses to tell us such things. Every time I think of her, my heart hurts as if it bleeds. We didn't even see her for the last time. I didn't see her... "Su Zhiping clenched his right fist and struck his heart. Lin Yaru was devastated by her daughter's departure, but he had to cheer up.

On weekdays, in addition to going to work normally, he also had to comfort his wife, who was not very conscious. This made him more and more haggard. In fact, how could the sadness in his heart be reduced?

But he can't fall. His wife has fallen, his son still has to go to school, and the family still needs him to support him. Su Zhiping is like this, like a taut string, not daring to relax at all, because he has to take care of him. He didn't even have anyone to talk to about Lin Yaru and Su Hao's emotions.

Safire and Zhongli came today, and he was able to express his depression a little, which also relieved his mood.

"I'm sorry..." Safir couldn't help but apologize in a low voice.

Su Zhiping waved his hand: "What are you apologizing for? I'm very happy that you are willing to come to visit Xiaojin. Alas, I want to thank you for coming all the way to visit Xiaojin and being willing to listen to me, an old man, nagging. Now But few young people are as patient as you."

While the three of them were talking, Lin Yaru walked out of the room. When she saw Safiir, her eyes immediately brightened up. She quickly came to Safiir's side, gently held her hand, and said with kindness on her face: " Xiaojin has lost weight these days."

"Ah..." Su Zhiping was about to say something, but saw Safire shaking his head at him. So he closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Safire also grabbed Lin Yaru's hand and said softly: "Mom has also lost a lot of weight. Has she never eaten well?"

"Mom misses you. Mom can't eat." Lin Yaru said plainly with a smile on her face, "Mom has always been worried about whether you are doing well there and whether anyone will bully you. You kid has been gone for so long. , you didn’t even entrust me with a dream, how can you let mom feel relieved..."

These words made Safir finally burst into tears that he had been holding back. Her mother actually knew everything, but her mother was unwilling to accept it.

In the haze of tears, she seemed to see what her mother looked like when she was young. At that time, she was proud, gentle, and beautiful, like a flower on the high mountain, waiting for no one to pick it.

In order to take care of their siblings, she was like an angel fallen into the mortal world, busy between the stoves and housework all day long.

But, mother is mother, she is still an angel. Maybe she is no longer as beautiful as she was when she was young, nor does she have the energy of the past, but she will always have the security called maternal love that is irreplaceable for Safir. feel.

"Xiaojin, what do you want to eat for lunch? Mommy will make it for you. Okay? Eat your favorite three delicacies? Do you want to add an egg custard? Xiaojin needs to eat more meat, otherwise your mother will It hurts." Lin Yaru's gentle words turned into sharp daggers, and every word made Safier heartbroken.

She hurt the girl who loved her most in the world.

Gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, Safire hugged Lin Yaru and said, "No, I'll cook today. Mom, please eat more." Then she looked at Su Zhiping and asked for his opinion.

"No, you are guests, how can I let you..." Su Zhiping instinctively wanted to refuse, but seeing the hopeful look in his wife's eyes, he finally swallowed his words and sighed, "It's troublesome."

This was not the first time that Lin Yaru recognized another girl as Su Jin, but this girl named Sharp was the only one who not only was not impatient, but also cooperated with her and comforted her in the tone of a daughter.

Su Zhiping turned away and wiped his tears quietly. He didn't want Lin Yaru to see him crying.

Safire finally went to buy vegetables, and Zhongli followed her, watching silently as the other party skillfully bargained with the vendors and skillfully selected the ingredients he wanted.

"Actually, if you want to stay, I can take their souls back for you." On the way back, Zhongli suddenly said these words.

He followed Safire because he was worried that something might happen to him. Now, he actively proposed that Safire stay in this world. It would be an unbearable burden for anyone to give a white-haired person to a black-haired person. If Safir could stay with his parents, it might be a good thing.

Safir, who was walking ahead with a plastic bag, stopped and turned back to look at Zhongli. The look in her eyes made Zhongli feel a little uncomfortable. After a slight cough, Zhongli asked, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? "

"No, you didn't say anything wrong." Safire shook his head and continued walking forward, "But you forgot one thing."

"What's the matter?" Zhongli frowned, not sure what Safire meant.

Safire smiled bitterly and said the cruel truth in a helpless tone: "Su Jin is dead. No matter what I do, I can never become Su Jin. In fact, no matter what, Su Jin will be the last one." They are all dead. I am Safir, a different individual from them.

Their fragments make up a complete me, but I am no longer any of them. "She is who she is, she will not and cannot be anyone else. She has her mission and what she has to do.

Smoke rose from the Su family's house. Safir was busy between the stoves. Lin Yaru was with her and helped her.

While the two were cooking, Su Zhiping found Zhongli and handed him a cigarette, but Zhongli declined: "Thank you, uncle, I don't smoke."

Seeing Zhongli's refusal, Su Zhiping nodded and lit one himself: "Okay, it's better if you don't smoke. Don't touch this thing. It's not good for your health. Speaking of which, you are a teaching assistant and I am a middle school teacher. We are still in the same industry. Hahaha, I still remember when Xiaojin was a child, she said she wanted to find a teacher to marry her."

"Well, this is also the reason why I chose to stay in school." Zhongli looked lonely, "It's a pity that it's just fate."

"Xiao Zhong, you have such an idea. My uncle is happy for Xiao Jin, but he still wants to remind you that you can remember the past, but you can't dwell on the past. We have to move forward after all." Probably. Seeing that his wife was rarely happy today, he felt much better.

Zhong Li chuckled: "I didn't expect that it was my uncle who enlightened me. I was the one who got the idea."

"Hey, young people, it's normal to have things that you can't figure out." Su Zhiping patted Zhongli on the shoulder and comforted him.

Zhongli nodded in agreement. He thought the uncle in front of him was quite interesting. It was estimated that Safire's current personality was inseparable from his educational philosophy.

Probably only enlightened parents can raise such quirky children. Even after so many years, Su's father's influence on her is still with her, and it has not changed even after experiencing so many hardships.

"Zhong Yao! Come and serve the dishes!" Saffir's voice came from the kitchen. After hearing this, Zhongli immediately went into the kitchen to help bring the dishes to the table.

The farm dishes are always simple and plain. The red and white tomato scrambled eggs are embellished with scattered green onions, which makes people appetite. Mainly made of eggplant, potatoes, and green peppers, the fried Di Sanxian is rich in oil and water, and looks very good with rice.

There are also sweet and sour pork ribs that are so sticky that they can be stringy, mapo tofu that looks very sophisticated in fiery red color, and a winter melon pork rib soup.

The typical four dishes and one soup are ready.

Safir's cooking skills are worthy of recognition, and they were all taught by his mother. Lin Yaru smiled when she saw the sumptuous dishes, but Su Zhiping just thought that Lin Yaru had put in more effort and didn't think much about it.

After the meal, Safire and Zhongli chatted with the two elders for a while, and finally left.

Lin Yaru held Safire's hand tightly, her eyes full of reluctance: "Xiaojin, are you leaving your mother again?"

"Mom, I'm going to school. Can I come back to see you after the holidays?" Safire comforted her softly, not wanting to say too harsh words.

Lin Yaru didn't respond, just shook her head, not wanting Safire to leave.

Su Zhiping knew that she had to say something, so she patted Lin Yaru on the back: "Aru, let go, Xiaojin still has to go to school."

"You're talking nonsense, Su Zhiping, don't you know? If she leaves, she will never come back. Xiaojin will not come back." Lin Yaru glared at Su Zhiping because he did not work with her to retain Safire. And annoyed.

Su Zhiping was startled and took a deep breath. He knew that he would wake up from the dream eventually: "Aru, wake up. She is not Xiaojin. Xiaojin is dead."

"She..." After hearing this, a strange color flashed in Lin Yaru's eyes. She looked at Saffir carefully, and finally let go of her hand in despair, "Yes, Xiaojin is dead. No. came back."

She didn't say anything more, turned around and walked into the house, leaving only a lonely figure behind.

"Sorry for causing trouble to you." Su Zhiping said hello to Safier and the other two, and followed Lin Yaru into the house.

Safire and Zhongli looked at each other and left. They stuffed 200,000 yuan into the gifts they brought, donated all the remaining money, and prepared to leave this world.

"Zhongli, let's leave tomorrow morning." Safire was in a bad mood and said dully.

Zhongli didn't ask her why, he just nodded lightly.

As dusk fell, the Su family became quite deserted without Zhongli and Saffir. On the table were the dishes prepared by Saffir for lunch. These were leftovers and could be eaten after being heated up in the evening.

Lin Yaru was confused all afternoon. She didn't take a shower until before dinner. Then, in Su Zhiping's shocked eyes, Lin Yaru, who had taken care of herself meticulously, picked up the bowl and started eating very calmly.

After taking a bite of the food, she suddenly laughed, which made Su Zhiping wonder if his wife's condition had worsened again. Just when he was hesitant to speak, Lin Yaru stopped laughing and opened her bright eyes. Look at Su Zhiping.

"Zhiping, look at the food on the table, how similar it is to Xiaojin's cooking." She picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup and nodded, "You know, I have been watching her at noon. She She looks nothing like Xiaojin, but many of her actions are exactly the same as Xiaojin’s.”

"You miss Xiaojin so much." Su Zhiping breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Lin Yaru seemed to be emotionally stable.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yaru shook her head: "No, when she was cooking, I actually didn't interfere at all. I just helped her wash the dishes. You see, the dishes she cooked are almost the same as those I cooked. This is always the case." It can’t be a coincidence.”

Su Zhiping wanted to say something else, but Lin Yaru waved her hand and interrupted: "I know what you want to say. I really miss her during this period, but I really miss that little girl named Sharp as soon as I see her. Cordial. I just called Lao Zhang and asked him. He said that there is no assistant named Zhong Yao in Jinda University, and their identities are both fake.

Who needs to hide their identity to see us? I admit that some time ago I did miss her so much that I mistook other girls for Xiaojin, but this time I definitely did not admit my mistake. "As she spoke, she raised the corners of her mouth and seemed to be smiling, but tears kept flowing down.

"I am a mother, how could I not recognize my child..."

Soon, at night, Su Zhiping, Lin Yaru, and Su Hao, who was studying in Shanghai, fell asleep. That night, they had a dream about the daughter and sister they longed for.

Under the stars in the sky, Su Jin stood in front of them, smiling like a flower, as usual. She held her family in her arms, listened to their condolences, and stayed with them until dawn.

In the dream, Su Jin told them that she was living a good life and didn't need to think about her, and shared many experiences of that world with them.

Until they were half asleep, they could still vaguely hear Su Jin's words in their ears.

"Dad, mom, brother. I'm leaving. I'm grateful for the dawn you brought me, but I'm sorry, please forgive me for closing my eyes at such an age.

Flowers that have withered are not worth cherishing in your heart. Only the future is the flower that you should look forward to. Forget me, let the memory flow by like a river, no matter winter or summer.

Please live well, in a world without me, in a future without me, live the life you should live without worrying about me anymore. "
