Bai Ye looked over and saw a familiar old man's face. "Grandpa Village Chief?"
"Xiao Ye'er, it's really you! Come, follow grandpa quickly." After hearing Bai Ye's cry, Ji Fu, the village chief of Prajna Village, was finally sure that the dirty-looking kid was the Bai Ye he was looking for.
Without waiting for Bai Ye's response, Ji Fu's old and rough hands had already tightly grasped her hands, and he pulled her quickly back to the center of the village.
"Everyone in our village knows about your grandfather's affairs. We also know about the bad things that Qing Xuantian did. Don't go home now. Stay at Grandpa Ji's house first." Ji Fu explained to Bai Ye as he walked.
"Grandpa Village Chief..." Bai Ye was not used to asking others for help, and her case was very special, so she wanted to reject Ji Fu's kindness.
But Ji Fu interrupted her and continued, "Don't worry, Xiaoye'er, everything will be fine. We will also take care of your grandfather's funeral."
After saying this, Ji Fu pulled Bai Ye and made another sharp turn.
"Bang!" Bai Ye was caught off guard and instantly bumped into a strange warm embrace, and then she felt herself being hugged tightly.
"Xiao Ye'er--" A familiar elderly woman's voice came from Bai Ye's head with pity at the same time.
"Okay, old woman, don't waste time. Take Xiao Ye'er home quickly. I still have to go to Lao Bai's house." Ji Fu urged his wife, Yao Cuihua.
"Yes, yes, come here, Xiaoye'er, you go home with Grandma Yao first." While Yao Cuihua was speaking, she had already picked up Bai Ye and carried him away as if he were a child.
Bai Ye: “…” To be honest, she was not used to being treated like this.
But as Yao Cuihua walked away, she kept stroking her back and coaxing her, "Don't be afraid, Xiaoye'er, it's all over. With your Grandpa Ji and everyone here, everything will be fine."
Bai Ye wanted to refuse, but she swallowed it back in the end. Forget it, she still had a lot of things to figure out, so it was not bad to stay at the village chief's house first.
In Bai Ye's memory, the people of Prajna Village had always been very friendly to her and Bai Zhan, especially the village chief Ji Fu and his family, who had always been very kind to her.
…
The Ji family arrived soon, and after taking a bath, Bai Ye lay down on a big kang alone. Yao Cuihua knew that she was tired, so after giving her some food, she did not "torture" her anymore.
"Come out, or how can I get in again?" Bai Ye said as if talking to himself after eating a few buns.
"Click." A furry little thing appeared on Bai Ye's neck.
"Xiao Ye'er, I want to eat too!" As soon as the little thing came out, it stared with its big round eyes, looking greedily at the buns on the table next to it.
Bai Ye: “…”
“Xiao Ye’er…” Seeing that Bai Ye didn’t move, the little fur ball called out again hesitantly, but it didn’t go to get it by itself.
"You can't leave my body?" Bai Ye asked sharply.
"Yes, I can't leave Xiao Ye'er, otherwise I will die, woooo..." The little fur ball said pitifully, almost looking at Bai Ye with tears in his eyes.
Bai Ye twitched his lips and reached out to take a bun for it.
"Xiao Ye'er is the best!" The little fur ball got the bun, immediately slid over, climbed onto Bai Ye's head, and started to chew the bun with a "crunch, crunch" sound.
Bai Ye: “…” She suspected that she would have to wash her hair again later, but she did not catch the little ball of hair.
She just asked calmly but sharply, "Tell me, how did my grandfather die? Was it someone from the Qing family who did it?"
