I am the Odd One Out Chapter 48

On the afternoon before leaving, Leo Lin closed his eyes in the recliner and saw his home in the north, his mother's voice and smile, and his father. The originally blurry image of his father became clearer, and then Mia appeared. He held Lin Baijia's hand and walked over. When he heard his mother calling his name, he woke up and realized that he had just fallen asleep.

Leo Lin got up from the recliner, walked to the desk, sat down, and wrote a letter to Theodore Tian in his hometown in the north, asking Theodore Tian to bring his brothers to Xizhen to pick him up. He didn't say anything else in the letter, but the last sentence It is "Falling leaves should return to their roots, and dead people should return to their hometowns." After he finished writing, he read the letter again. He couldn't help but be startled when he read the last sentence. Then he picked up a brush and blackened out "When a leaf falls, it is time to return to its roots, and when a deceased person returns home, it is time to return home." He sat at the desk for a while and then wrote a letter to Gu Yimin, saying that if something unexpected happened to him, he would also ask Gu Yimin to complete the marriage between Gu Tongnian and Lin Baijia on the date agreed upon by the two. Finally, I wrote a letter to my daughter. Thousands of words came to my mind, but I couldn't write a single word. After sitting blankly for a long time, he just wrote on the paper that there were five jars buried under the study room, each jar containing a thousand silver dollars. Then he took out the account books of the woodworking club and the title deed of the ten thousand acres of land, and wrapped them together in cloth. Write the three words "Lin Baijia" on the cloth and put it in the compartment of the wall. Lin Baijia knows this hiding place.

Leo Lin came to Cuiping with two letters. When he walked up the creaking stairs, Cuiping, who no longer received guests, opened the door to greet her. The familiar footsteps upstairs told her that Leo Lin was here.

Leo Lin walked into Cuiping's room and watched Cuiping close the door and bolt it. He sat down at the table and fell into deep thought. Cuiping made him a cup of tea, then returned to the bed and sat down. The two of them did not speak. . The news that Leo Lin wanted to go to the bandits with guns to redeem the people had spread throughout the town. Cuiping also heard about it. She looked at Leo Lin uneasily, wanting to ask but not daring to ask.

After Leo Lin sat for a while, he told Cuiping that he wanted to stay for dinner. Cuiping hurriedly got up. This was the first time Leo Lin wanted to eat at her place. She didn't expect that she hurried over to open the closet and put her right hand in. She took out a cloth bag from the stack of clothes. When she opened the bag, she realized that there were no coins inside. She stood with her back to Leo Lin. After a pause, she put the bag back among her clothes. When she closed the cupboard door and turned around, With a shy look on her face, she smiled awkwardly at Leo Lin, then lay on the ground and crawled under the bed. The sound she made under the bed seemed to move a brick. When she climbed out, she held a silver dollar in her hand.
