Joe's Farming

When Xiaobai came to his senses, there was no trace of Gu Xueting in this world anymore.

Xiaobai looked at the head that had been chopped off beyond recognition on the ground, which was a mess of blood and flesh.

"vomit--"

Xiaobai ran to the yard and vomited out all the rice porridge that he had just eaten before he could even fill his stomach.

After vomiting, Xiaobai calmed down quickly.

He washed his face with cold water, then returned to the kitchen and hid Gu Xueting's body in the firewood pile in the corner.

Then he started to clean up the bloodstains. While cleaning, he saw scattered pieces of meat and brain matter. Xiaobai vomited again reflexively.

Xiaobai covered the bloodstains that could not be washed off with wood ash and closed the kitchen door.

I went back to the room, changed into clean clothes, and hid the bloody clothes and the kitchen knife under the bed.

Xiaobai tidied his hair, took out his hidden purse from the kitchen, hesitated for a moment, then took the money that Gu Xueting had taken from him today and went out.

Xiaobai walked quickly towards Qiao Yu's house with his head down.

When he was almost at Gu's house, he saw a carriage pulled by two horses passing by him.

The sound of two men talking and laughing could be heard from inside.

Xiaobai clutched the hem of her clothes, looked longingly at the carriage that was gradually moving away, wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from her eyes, and walked quickly towards the gate of Qiao Yu's house.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng hadn't walked far yet, so they immediately turned around and opened the door.

"Did you forget something...Xiaobai?" Qiao Yu opened the door, thinking that Xu Yuan and Xu Ning had forgotten to take something.

When he opened the door, he saw Xiaobai with a bruised nose, face and pale lips.

Xiaobai's eyes were red and filled with tears. The moment he saw Qiao Yu, he couldn't stop crying.

Qiao Yu quickly pulled the man into the yard: "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

As soon as Xiaobai entered the yard, he knelt down in front of Qiao Yu and burst into tears.

Gu Feng had never seen such a scene before, and asked quickly, "Did that Gu guy beat you again? Don't worry, you and Qiao'er stay at home. I'll go and deal with this bastard. He really brought shame to the Gu family."

Xiaobai shook his head with tears in his eyes.

Qiao Yu squatted down and said, "Why don't we go to my room and talk? Don't be afraid. As long as Brother Gu and I can help you, we will definitely help you."

Xiaobai then stood up and followed Qiao Yu and Gu Feng into their room.

The children originally wanted to come over and talk to the two fathers, but when they saw that something was not right, they quietly went to play aside and took Gu Gang away who was looking for his younger brother.

After Xiaobai followed Qiao Yu and Gu Feng into the house, his emotions were relieved, probably because he felt safe.

"Brother Qiao, Brother Gu. I...I need your help. If...if you don't help, I won't say anything."

Xiaobai said this while choking with sobs, and was about to kneel down in front of them again.

Qiao Yu quickly helped him sit on the bed.

"If you have something to say, just say it nicely. Don't kneel down so easily! A man's knees are made of gold." Qiao Yu was a little angry and spoke in a harsh tone.

Xiaobai was stunned. No one had ever said this to him, and no one had ever asked him not to kneel.

When Gu Xueting was in a bad mood, he would make him kneel down and be beaten.

Xiao Bai adjusted his breathing and said as calmly as possible: "I killed him."

Qiao Yu's eyes widened: "What did you say?!"

Xiao Bai said with tears in her eyes: "I killed my husband. I... killed someone."

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng looked at each other. No matter how imaginative they were, they could not have imagined that the scumbag named Gu died in just half a day.

Qiao Yu didn't say anything for a long time.

Gu Feng had seen this many times and was very careful, so he immediately asked, "Did anyone see you? Did anyone see you coming over?"

Xiaobai shook his head: "No one, no one saw it. I... I killed him in the kitchen, people outside couldn't see him. He... he didn't scream at that time." Xiaobai smiled bitterly, "He probably never thought that I would dare to do it. I also never thought of resisting him. I didn't expect killing him to be so easy. Wuuuu..."

Xiaobai covered his face and cried bitterly. He felt pained that he had killed someone, and was also indignant that he had suffered so much before.

Xiaobai told the story of what happened this afternoon in a disjointed manner.

Qiao Yu unconsciously squeezed Gu Feng's arm and said angrily, "This kind of scum deserves to die. Have you closed the doors and windows?"

Xiaobai nodded.

Qiao Yu glanced at her husband. Gu Feng already understood that her husband was determined to help her to the end, so he nodded to Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu immediately said to Xiao Bai, "You can stay here with us tonight. Brother Gu and I will take care of the rest. You can just keep this matter to yourself. After you were beaten this afternoon, you came to Brother Gu and I. Brother Gu and I kindly took you in. You can go back in two days."

Xiao Bai choked up and said, "Thank you! Thank you! I will work like a slave to repay you and Brother Gu."

Qiao Yu handed him a clean handkerchief and said, "Do you remember what I just said? No matter who asks you in the future, you should say the same thing."

Xiaobai nodded solemnly.

"Okay, stop crying. If you're tired, just lie on my bed for a while." Qiao Yu said.

Xiaobai shook his head: "I'm not tired."

Qiao Yu suddenly remembered that Xiao Bai said that the scum went back just when he had finished cooking, so he asked, "Are you hungry? I'll go to the kitchen and make you something to eat."

Xiao Bai came to his senses now. He was indeed very hungry, but he didn't want to trouble Qiao Yu so he insisted, "I'm not hungry."

Qiao Yu said: "Okay, then I'll pour you some tea."

Three people came out from the inner room.

On the table in the main room there was a full box of pastries that Xu Yuan brought today.

Qiao Yu asked Xiaobai to sit down and eat whatever he wanted, and she went to the kitchen to make tea, adding some chrysanthemums for calming the nerves and some rock sugar.

Xiaobai sat alone in the main room, not daring to take the snacks, and just sat there obediently.

Qiao Yu made tea and when she came in she saw Xiaobai sitting there quietly, not moving at all.

"Don't be afraid, Brother Gu will help you. Eat something to fill your stomach. I know you must be feeling very uncomfortable now, which is normal. But it's not your fault. Just think of your past self as dead. The present self is reborn. When you wake up tomorrow, you will be the new Xiaobai."

Xiaobai murmured: "Rebirth?"

Qiao Yu nodded firmly: "Yes! Rebirth. Not everyone has the opportunity to be reborn. So you must live differently from the past, because you have been reborn."

Gu Feng went to the back mountain and dug a big hole.

He planned to move Gu Xueting's body out in the middle of the night and bury it in this pit. The mountain behind his house was sparsely populated and no one would find out.

Qiao Yu also asked him to take out Xiaobai's clothes and kitchen knife.

He burned the clothes directly on the stove, washed the kitchen knife, and asked Xiaobai to take it back and put it away after two days.

He didn't believe that there was any luminol reagent in ancient times that could detect blood reactions. When he was ready to send Xiaobai back, he carefully erased all the evidence.

Xiaobai slept with Gu Xiaoyan that night.

Gu Xiaoyan is a sweet-talker. Seeing his brother Xiaobai being beaten so badly, he felt so distressed that he kept using jokes that he found funny to coax him to sleep.

Xiaobai had never had such a good sleep.
