After rebirth, I kidnapped the sickly Dugong

In order not to delay later matters, Si Jiu chose to leave Baoen Temple after his back injury got a little better.

Before leaving, Si Jiu was supported by Wen Baizhi to say goodbye to Master Tianfa because of his serious injuries.

Master Tianfa and the children he had rescued were waiting for him there.

Wen Baizhi followed Si Jiu. For some reason, being in such a Buddhist place, she felt a lot of compassion in her heart.

"Master, I still have some things to deal with in Kyoto, so I have to go back first. I came here specially to say goodbye to you." Si Jiu explained.

Tianfa still looked kind and said, "Amitabha, Buddha has mercy on us. I hope that you will get what you want from now on."

This is almost the best blessing.

Wen Baizhi and Si Jiu bowed deeply to Master Tianfa together.

Wuguan and the others were standing at the back, and wanted to step forward and say a few words several times, but then they retracted their heads.

It was Wen Baizhi who noticed their actions and signaled them to come forward and say what they wanted to say.

Although they are still children, the memories of losing their parents and relatives still linger in their minds.

But during this period of time, under the influence of Buddhist scriptures, I gradually learned to let go of my obsessions and the past.

Among the few people, Wu Guan was the last one to muster up the courage and took three steps forward.

"Brother Si, you must be careful when you return to Kyoto this time. If you have any difficulties, you can come here to find us at any time. We will also grow up well and try to help you in the future."

Although they are young, they are all children of officials.

Naturally, I received a lot of education since childhood.

Naturally, he would also have some understanding of the complex official environment in which Si Jiu was located.

They will also understand how much risk Si Jiu took and how much effort he put in to save them.

So they have always been grateful to Si Jiu.

Si Jiu raised his head and touched Wu Guan's head: "Good boy, just follow Master Tianfa and learn well. When the situation stabilizes, you can consider whether to return to secular life. Everything is up to you. But you must remember, no matter when, don't give up hope in your heart, you must work hard to live, only by living can you have a chance."

When Wu Guan was touched on the head by him, he suddenly felt like crying, but he held it back.

Finally, he just said to Wen Baizhi: "Sister Wen, you must be the girl that Brother Si loves very much. Brother Si was in a heavy mood when he came here several times before, but this time he seemed very relaxed when he came with you. Sister Wen, I know that the outside world has a lot of arguments about Brother Si, but I can assure you that Brother Si is a good person, the best person in the world, so can you please, Sister Wen, if you don’t hate Brother Si, just be with him well, okay?"

Wen Baizhi smiled knowingly and said, "Don't worry, I will accompany your brother Si well. I am worried about leaving him to others."

It's a promise.

Si Jiu and the children were very satisfied and touched by the promise.

After a few more words of advice, the two of them were ready to set off.

It was not until the carriage had gone a long way and the end was out of sight that the few people watching reluctantly withdrew their gazes and walked in.

In the carriage, Si Jiu lay on the couch with his face facing Wen Baizhi.

"These kids all like you very much and can't bear to see you suffer any injustice." Wen Baizhi teased him.

Si Jiu said: "Actually, after I rescued them and sent them to Baoen Temple, I didn't come to see them very often."

Wen Baizhi was curious about what he said, so she sat closer to him.

Si Jiu was very satisfied with her behavior.

"Were you too busy to visit them?" she asked.

Si Jiu also put his hands on her clothes: "There are two reasons."

He explained: "First, no matter what the reason, or whether they had their own reasons or not, their families were broken up because of me, and their loved ones passed away because of me. I feel guilty towards them after all."

Wen Baizhi subconsciously retorted: "But it wasn't you who made the decision to confiscate the property, it was Qi Yan'an. It has nothing to do with you, Zijin."

Si Jiu rarely heard words that had nothing to do with him.

He felt a little sad.

But he continued, "That being said, I was the one who carried out the mission in the end. I was the one who went to their house to search it, and I was the one who sent their relatives to the execution ground. So the people saw me, and naturally they all thought I did it."

Wen Baizhi stopped talking.

Because she knows it best.

The executor is more likely to be hated than the publisher.

She stopped talking about this and changed the subject: "You just said there were two reasons, what's the other one?"

Si Jiu said: "The second reason is that I don't know how to get along with them. I don't seem to be used to having close interactions with people. I will think a lot. I will worry that if I get along with them now and then separate from them, will they be unable to bear it, or will I be unable to bear it. So I would rather not get close to them at the beginning. I would rather they just treat me as a brother who they don't see often. That's enough."

So this is the reason.

Wen Baizhi naturally understood the feeling he just described.

Rather than being sad and upset when you finally break up, it is better not to have a close relationship with someone at the beginning.

They interact with each other indifferently, so that even when they separate, they will just treat each other as strangers and just say goodbye politely.

For some reason, Wen Baizhi really wanted to hug Si Jiu at this moment.

Of course she also stated her request.

"Zijin, can you sit up for a moment? I want to hug you."

After being with Wen Baizhi for such a long time, if Si Jiu didn't know the reason why she said this, then he would have lived in vain.

He sat up obediently.

The next moment, Wen Baizhi hugged him.

"Zi Jin, you are so afraid to approach others easily. Then why did you know from the beginning that I was Wen Bai, and why did you contact me many times after that and treat me so well?" She asked her question.

"Aren't you worried that if you invest your feelings now, you will feel even worse if we break up later?"

Si Jiu held her warm body in his arms.

All the sadness just now was wiped out by her hug.

He lowered his head and sniffed her scent, then said, "I'm afraid. I'm really afraid of Bai Bai, but I'm more afraid of losing you again and making myself regret it. At that time, I thought that even if I was destined to lose you in the end, before that, being with you for even an hour would be good, and it would be a gift from God to me."

He has lost too much in his life and wants too little.

Ever since Wen Bai kicked open the small dark room that locked him in the Marquis' Mansion, all he wanted was her.
