In the corridor of the east courtyard of Lin's house, the winter afternoon sunshine shines on several women. Bai Yushuang is sitting on a chair with her gray hair scattered. She is tightly wrapped in a cotton cloak. Her broken left arm is tucked into the sleeve, but her right hand is
Stretching it out, it was held by a thin white hand.
Looking along the thin white hand, the person holding her hand was not her apprentice Bai Bing, but the delicate and dignified Lu Wu. Bai Bing was standing behind Bai Yushuang, holding a wooden comb in his hand.
Bai Yushuang was combing her long gray hair. And on the left side of Bai Yushuang's knees, Qianqian was sitting on a small stool holding a white kitten, with a smile on her face and chattering in her mouth.
I don't know what funny words she said, but Bai Yushuang actually laughed and looked at Qianqian angrily, her expression and eyes were very peaceful, completely different from the violent Bai Yushuang in the past.
During the more than ten days of recuperation in Linzhai, Bai Yushuang had the most comfortable and comfortable life in the past forty years. This is not an exaggeration at all. Although she was seriously injured and poisoned, she felt a sense of psychological comfort.
It was far greater than the physical pain. She received the best care, ate the best food in the past forty years, slept on the warmest bed in the world, and received the kindness of everyone in this small courtyard.
In the past years, the hardship and loneliness in the bitter cold land of Mobei, the bloody and dangerous pursuit of the enemy. She did not live like a human being, let alone a woman. It was not surprising that she was injured. That year, she went to kill
Although the enemies of Liuhe Sect succeeded, they were seriously injured. The head of Liuhe Sect struck her with a sword before she died, and the long sword penetrated her lower abdomen. She was seriously injured and escaped. The disciples of Liuhe Sect searched for her everywhere, and she carried great pain.
, hid in the mountains for three days and three nights, ate several rats that came smelling blood, and drank turbid sewage from puddles before surviving and escaping.
Even at that moment, she never questioned her beliefs and never stopped her pursuit of revenge. The support of her entire life was revenge, revenge.
This time, she suddenly felt the meaning of an unusual life in Linzhai. There were a few people living in this small courtyard, including a gentle and lovely girl, Lu Wu, who took good care of herself and asked questions. There were also
Qianqian, a quirky little girl, is an expert at making people laugh. There is also her apprentice who is silent and has eyes full of concern. At a certain moment, Bai Yushuang couldn't help but think about her past experiences.
Is it all meaningless, or am I too persistent, holding on to a hatred and never letting go. In fact, there are many other things that can be done in life.
Two days ago, Bai Yushuang couldn't help but shed tears when she saw her hair in a neat bun and light makeup in the Linghua mirror for the first time. Although the person in the mirror had delicate features and delicate features, he vaguely resembled the beauty he once had. But his hair on the temples was already gray.
The wrinkles are vertical and horizontal. It has been more than forty years, and the flowery girl in the Magic Sound Sect has grown old. In the wind and rain of the years, it has dried into a faded petal, withered and blackened. If I had not met him in the valley that year,
What does that unlucky man look like now? What kind of life does he live? Maybe he gets married and has children, and his children surround his knees.
"Mother-in-law, how about giving you a double-ringed bun today? Just like the one on my head. Keep your mother-in-law looking like a teenage girl. Green Dance, you put on pearl rouge and powder for your mother-in-law, and your makeup should match your hair."
When my mother-in-law is walking on the street, all the young men will chase her. Hee hee hee." Qianqian's delicate words came into her ears.
"Bah, what are you talking about? My mother-in-law is already sixty years old. She is dressed like that. Do you think she is an old monster? Isn't she going to scare people to death? Bing'er, don't listen to her. Just wear a normal hair accessory."
Bai Yushuang said angrily.
Bai Bing whispered from behind: "Master, don't worry, little Qianqian likes to make mischief, we won't listen to her."
Lu Wu also smiled and said: "That's right, you can think of dressing up your mother-in-law like a little girl. Mother-in-law, let me tell you a secret. Qianqian told me yesterday that she wanted me to buy embroidered shoes and a red wedding robe for my mother-in-law.
I don’t agree with dressing my mother-in-law up like a bride.”
Qianqian rushed up and covered Lu Wu's mouth and said, "You are not allowed to say it. You said it would be confidential."
Lu Wu hid behind Bai Yushuang, and Qianqian threw her whole body into Bai Yushuang's arms. Bai Yushuang didn't get angry at all. She hugged Qianqian with one arm and said, "I'm afraid she wants to become a monk, so she thought of this bad idea.
.Xiao Qianqian, but you have someone in your heart?"
"Oh, mother-in-law, why are you following them to bully me? I won't warm your feet tonight, and I won't talk to you anymore." Qianqian pouted and stamped her feet, and suddenly pounced on Green Dance again, causing a scene.
Bai Bing just smiled. She was in a good mood. Everything seemed to be changing. The master's change was huge. This was the kind master he wanted to look like. A good mood certainly not only meant that the master's injuries were getting better, but also his attitude was changing.
, and even more because the thing that I was most worried about has been solved. It is such a wonderful thing to be able to stay in the capital where Mr. Lin is.
"Haha, it's so lively? Why are you so happy? It makes me happy too." A clear voice came from the side. At the turning point of the corridor, Lin Jue was wearing a black velvet hat and a black and red fur.
Wearing a cloak, he walked over with a smile full of energy.
Qianqian hurriedly stood up straight and straightened her messy clothes. Lu Wu also straightened her clothes to give Lin Jue a gift. Bai Bing's eyes lit up and he glanced at Lin Jue, but then he quickly lowered his head.
The smile on Bai Yushuang's face disappeared. For some reason, although she knew her life was saved by Lin Jue, she always saw Lin Jue feeling angry for no reason.
"Senior, you're polite. How do you feel about your injury today? Is it feeling better?" Lin Jue stepped forward, bowed and saluted with a smile.
Bai Yushuang snorted and said, "I can't die yet."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Senior has profound martial arts skills. It is really rare for him to recover so quickly after being injured so seriously."
Bai Yushuang said: "What? You think I recovered too quickly? Are you hoping that I will be injured?"
"Master! Don't say such things. Mr. Lin asked to heal the master..."
"I know, there's no need for you to speak for him." Bai Yushuang interrupted Bai Bing. Bai Bing had to shut up and looked at Lin Jue apologetically.
"Anyway, you saved me. Thank you very much." Bai Yushuang said.
Lin Jue laughed. Bai Yushuang said before that she would never say thank you, but now she thanked herself. This change was huge. If she could stay in the house for a long time, the change would be even greater. Unfortunately, she can't be here.
Stayed.
"Senior, don't be polite. I'm here. I have something to discuss with you. I'm afraid I have to leave here." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"What?"
"Why? Isn't it good for my mother-in-law to stay here?"
"Mr. Lin, my master's injury recovered quickly, but the injury is not healed yet."
Lu Wu and the other three girls asked in surprise.
"Stop talking, I understand. You think I'm in the way here. Okay, Bing'er, pack your things and we'll go back to Mobei." Bai Yushuang struggled to get up and shouted loudly. She was very angry, but there was nothing she could do.
Although she said something tough, Bai Yushuang actually fell in love with this place in just a few days. She did not insist on meeting Mobei anymore. But Lin Jue came to drive people away.
Lin Jue hurriedly explained: "Senior, please don't misunderstand. There is a reason for everything. It's okay for senior to live here for ten or twenty years. How could I drive you away? But... Senior's traces have been exposed. What happened that night
, the Imperial City Department and the Kaifeng Mansion have begun a thorough investigation. If senior stays in the capital, something unexpected may happen. Not only senior, but to be honest, we are also implicated."
"What? How could this happen?" Master and disciple Bai Yushuang and Bai Bing were shocked when they heard this. Lu Wu and Qianqian were confused.
Lin Jue didn't want Qianqian and Lu Wu to know these things, so he asked Lu Wu and Qianqian to avoid it. Lu Wu was fine, but Qianqian was taken away with an unhappy face.
Lin Jue then destroyed the temple and failed to burn the body. The body was discovered by others and was identified after reporting to the official. The relationship between Hou Changqing and Hou Yongnian in the Forbidden Army. The Imperial City Division intervened to find out the traces and decided to
Following the clues and following the clues from the doctor in the medical clinic, I told master and apprentice Bai Yushuang everything, and then the master and apprentice came to understand.
"I see, it turns out they have something to do with the government. No wonder every time I go back to the Central Plains, I am hunted down by them as well as the government. We really have to go. Bing'er, pack your things, let's go back to Mobei. We really can't do it here.
shocked."
"Senior, I'm afraid it won't work in Mobei. It's a long way from here to Mobei, and the road is difficult and bumpy. At this time of year, the north of the Yellow River is frozen for thousands of miles, and the cold wind is biting. It's absolutely impossible. That's going to kill you. Your injuries
Before you heal, Bing'er... this... Miss Bai can't take you back. Senior, listen to me, don't insist on going back to Mobei." Lin Jue said in a deep voice.
"Yes, master, if we don't succeed in Mobei, we will all die on the road. It's not like you don't know how dangerous the road is." Bai Bing also said softly.
"If you don't go back to Mobei, where can you go? If the government investigates, where else can you hide?" Bai Yushuang frowned.
Lin Jue said: "Senior, if you listen to my arrangements, I will order someone to take you out of the city to a safe place. Well... I have a friend who lives in Funiu Mountain. It's only a few hundred miles away. It's only a few days away.
We will go there. It is isolated from the world and is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. If the senior can agree to go there, the injury will last for a year and a half. After recovering, the senior will be free to go wherever he wants. What do you think?
"Funiu Mountain? You mean, Funiu Mountain in the southeast of Gyeonggi Province?" Bai Yushuang looked at Lin Juedao in shock.
Lin Jue scratched his head and whispered: "Senior, don't be so loud, it's the Funiu Mountain. Senior knows where that place is. Are you willing to go?"
Bai Yushuang suddenly laughed, pointed at Lin Jue's nose and said: "Okay, okay, I didn't expect that you have so many tricks up your sleeve. Aren't you an official of the imperial court? You actually have the same skills as the people in Funiu Mountain.
Guaguo. Hehe, if the emperor and the others find out about this, you may lose your head."
Lin Jue said softly: "So, it can be seen that I have no defense against seniors. Otherwise, how could I let seniors know about this matter? Seniors, please make a decision quickly. The Imperial City Division is taking action, and we must stop them before they touch it."
I'll send you away before you come to my house. This will be good for you and my whole family. You don't want our whole family to have a lot of trouble because of you."
Bai Yushuang snorted coldly and said: "Do you really think that I don't know what I'm doing? I would rather die than involve others. In this case, it's not too late and we have to get started. Bing'er, pack your things quickly, sooner rather than later.
"
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, senior. You will like that place in the mountains. Maybe there is still room for senior to use it."
Bai Yushuang put her arm on Bai Bing's arm and stood up to leave. Suddenly she stopped and said, "Bing'er, are you coming with me?"
Bai Bing looked at Bai Yushuang and then at Lin Jue, and whispered: "Disciple, listen to the master's instructions."
Bai Yushuang frowned and thought for a while, looked at Bai Bing and then at Lin Jue, and sighed: "That's it, Bing'er can stay here, they don't know that Bing'er is my apprentice. Besides... besides... Hey, female heart
Externally, why should I, the master, think of myself as such a villain? Lin Jue, you are not allowed to bully my Bing'er. You have a bunch of wives and concubines, and you are greedy. I am very disgusted. But Bing'er likes you, and I can't stop her.
If you want to marry her, then treat her well. If you are a dishonest person, I will kill you. Do you hear me?"
Bai Bing's face turned red when he heard this, and Lin Jue smiled and said, "Senior, don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."
Bai Yushuang said no more and left quickly with Bai Bing's support. Lin Jue felt a big stone falling to the ground. Bai Yushuang turned out to be so reasonable, which surprised Lin Jue. He originally thought that he might have to use force to bind him.
I was forced to board the ship, but now it seems that it is no longer necessary.
Lin Jue immediately returned to the front hall and ordered people to prepare the carriages and horses. Soon after, Bai Yushuang was helped by Bai Bing. Lin Jue gave an order, and Liang Qi and others got on the carriages and horses and went straight to a small dock next to the Bian River.
There, a awning boat was already anchored in the cold wind, waiting. Bai Yushuang was put on board, but Lin Jue did not order the boat to sail, but just waited in the boat. Soon after, carriages came from different directions.
When they arrived, big bags were carried into the cabin one by one. In more than an hour, more than a dozen cloth bags were carried into the cabin. Bai Yushuang thought they were some goods until Lin Jue ordered to untie the bags.
He was shocked to find that the people inside were all people, tall, short, fat, thin, with white beards and black beards. They were all doctors who had come to see him.
How could Bai Yushuang not understand that Lin Jue had cut off all the clues leading to his house. These dozen doctors might never be able to return home for the rest of their lives. Bai Yushuang not only admired Lin Jue's methods. Of course.
According to Bai Yushuang's previous guess, these people must have been killed and silenced. But after thinking about it, it was not as good as killing them. And with these dozen doctors going into the mountain together, his injuries may be better.
They were doing it faster, which may have been Lin Jue's consideration in not killing them.
At the end of the day, the sun was setting in the west and the sky was full of jackdaws. The awning boat slowly set sail and headed to the West Water Gate of the outer city via the Bian River. Lin Jue had already rushed to the West Water Gate and secretly greeted Ma Bin who was waiting here. Ma Bin pretended
He personally stopped the awning boat for inspection. Soon after, he waved his hand to indicate that everything was fine and could be released. The sluice gate was opened, and the awning boat went straight out of the city, upstream, and disappeared under the desolate winter sunset.
Lin Jue and Bai Bing stood side by side on the river bank, watching the boats leave from the city gate, and breathed a long sigh of relief. However, there was a sound of sobbing beside them.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"It's nothing... nothing. I didn't expect this matter to cause such a big trouble. Thank you, sir."
"How can you thank me?"
"I...I don't know, should I kowtow to the young master?"
"...Kowtow is enough. I will teach you from now on that there are many ways to say thank you, and kowtow is not the only one. There is a more appropriate way of saying thank you between you and me. Do you understand?"
"oh……"
"For example... well, it's pointless to say it out loud. You should slowly realize it yourself."
"oh……"
