The breeze is gentle and the sun is rising.
The morning light accompanied by the chirping of birds shone through the mist on Si Wulu's beautiful face. Si Wulu wiped the sweat from his head, raised the axe, and used all his strength. All the muscles in his body suddenly became tangled. , like a vigorous little tiger. With a "boom" sound, the firewood split into two parts from the middle.
A few days ago, distinguished guests came to the Bai family. Boss Bai immediately waved his hand and decided to close the restaurant for a while. Thanks to those Imperial City customers, Boss Bai generously gave everyone in the store a large sum of money. This was the only thing that made Si Wulu happy during this period.
At this time, there was a knock on the courtyard door.
When he heard the knock on the door, Si Wulu suddenly grimaced, with a look of helplessness on his face. Si Wulu sighed softly, and then put down the axe.
Si Wulu's family was poor since he was a child, and he was a foreigner. His home was located in a remote part of the town. Except for Bai Lingxue, almost no one came to visit his home on weekdays. With that little girl's personality, there was no way she would knock on the door so politely.
"Young man, how have you considered what Sister Liu said last time?" A middle-aged aunt in red clothes looked at Si Wulu expectantly.
The aunt who calls herself Sister Liu is a well-known matchmaker in the town. In her words, the younger generation of couples in the town are basically matched by her own hands.
The Eastern Wilderness Continent has been at war for years. For many years, the country's population has been unable to grow, and there are even signs of decline. For this reason, the Great Wilderness government has specially opened up many preferential policies in terms of population and fertility. In some areas of the wilderness, it is quite normal for someone to marry a wife and have children at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and become a parent.
Although Siwulu's family was poor and he was just a busboy in a hotel and an apprentice under Master Mu, and seemed to have no future, he was handsome!
When he was still young, Si Wulu's beauty was already famous throughout the town. At that time, Bai Qingxue was still following him around all day long. After Si Wulu turned sixteen, matchmakers from all walks of life began to visit Luo Yi one after another. This Sister Liu is one of them. In a word, the flower of the town is by no means a well-deserved reputation.
"Sister Liu, I am still young and have no intention of getting a wife for the time being. Besides, I don't have the money to get a wife." Si Wulu opened the wooden door of the yard and politely refused.
"It's better to be small! It's good to cultivate relationships since childhood. It doesn't matter if you don't have money. The woman has already spoken. They will cover all the wedding expenses, and they will also give you a generous wedding gift, so that you and your wife will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. ." Sister Liu said enthusiastically.
"Marriage is an important matter that cannot be taken care of hastily. I will come back to you, Sister Liu, when I think about it in the future." Si Wulu couldn't stand her enthusiasm and found an excuse to send her away.
"Okay! It's settled. When you think about it, you must come to see Sister Liu. Xiaolu, since you call Sister Liu "sister," I believe she won't harm you. Then Miss Lin's family has tens of thousands of dollars. If you marry Without her, I will wait to enjoy happiness in this life."
Si Wulu knew the Miss Lin mentioned by the matchmaker, and she was also extremely famous in the small town. The folk customs in the wilderness are open, and there are no customs or regulations that prohibit unmarried ladies from going out. However, people in the small town have never seen this mysterious eldest lady of the Lin family.
It wasn't until she was eighteen years old that the Lin family suddenly released news that they wanted to recruit a son-in-law. At that time, many young talents from small towns who wanted to achieve success in one step and did not want to struggle proposed themselves, and then nothing happened.
In the words of a young man in the town, the eldest lady of the Lin family looked like a mountain from a distance, but she was still a mountain from up close. She wanted to sacrifice herself for the happiness of her family for the rest of her life, but in the end she still couldn't convince herself.
If she was in the same bed as the eldest lady of the Lin family, and the young lady of the Lin family rolled over and accidentally crushed herself, she would probably break a few ribs. The picture was so beautiful that Si Wulu no longer dared to think about it anymore.
So Si Wulu sent Sister Liu away directly, but before she left, Sister Liu still looked like she still had something to say, which gave Si Wulu a headache.
.....
Master Mu’s medicine garden in the small town.
Almost at the same time, in front of the courtyard gate, a man in luxurious clothes, gentle and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament looked at the simple house in front of him, frowned, with disbelief and hope, and then pushed away the door. Wooden door, walked in.
"Is it you?" Master Mu, who was watering the herbs in the yard, looked at the man in front of him in surprise.
"It's me." The luxurious man glanced at the entire yard and frowned.
The gorgeous man did not answer his words, but instead said: "Should I call you Master Mu now, or Uncle Bai Zimu Clan?"
After hearing the familiar name "Bai Zimu", Master Mu was obviously startled, and then continued to carefully water the herbs with a water ladle.
"I haven't used the name Bai Zimu for a long time. You should just call me Master Mu like everyone else."
The gorgeous man smiled helplessly: "So many years have passed since that incident. Besides, what happened back then was not your fault alone."
He had also heard about what happened to the Bai family, but he was still young at that time, and he was not able to participate in such a big event, but in his heart he was not angry for this hard-working uncle.
"How did you know I was here?" Master Mu stopped what he was doing and asked doubtfully.
"Yesterday at the branch house, I saw the marks left by the anti-god golden needle on the body of a steward. At that time, I was wondering what kind of expert would use the needle-sealing technique that my Bai family has never spread. So today I specially Come visit.”
"I'm afraid you would have guessed it was me before you came, otherwise you wouldn't have come alone."
"When I learned that the doctor was willing to teach the little girl the medical skills, and when I heard that they called the doctor Master Mu, I was almost certain." The gorgeous man did not deny it.
"Have you been living here all these years?" The gorgeous man couldn't believe it.
He couldn't imagine that the once famous genius in his family would be willing to live in such a humble place in obscurity for so many years.
Perhaps their family is not famous for their military force, and even compared to other famous families, their military force value is not high, but as a medical family, they have been passed down for so many generations, and they have already become rich and powerful.
Because the family has countless wealth, being suave and romantic has become the most conspicuous label for the children of the Bai family in the imperial capital, and the people in front of them are even more eager to do so.
"It's quite nice here. There's no intrigue in the imperial capital, there's no constant war on the frontier, and it's not like the rampant thieves in other places. In a sense, this is really a nice place." Master Mu said calmly.
The threat of the Great Wilderness mainly comes from the north and the west. In contrast, the Southern Territory has always had very few war disasters, and the town is close to the largest military town in the Southern Territory - Changxing City. Even the most lawless horse thieves and robbers will not be affected. Go directly to the military headquarters and do activities. It can be said that the small town is a rare paradise in this turbulent wilderness.
The gorgeous man thought for a while and then smiled: "It is indeed a good place."
"What is the current progress of the Imperial Military Academy's research on the Heart-Eating Palm?" Master Mu suddenly asked.
Many years ago, the Imperial Military Academy secretly studied the solution to the Heart-Eating Palm, because the Heart-Eating Palm posed a great threat to the ability users of the Desolate Tribe. The Bai family in the imperial capital was a well-known medical family in the wilderness, so naturally there were people involved.
"Although the Imperial Military Academy has not given up research on the Heart-Eating Palm for many years, so far, there is still no progress." The gorgeous man replied truthfully.
"There is someone you should get in touch with, who may help the Imperial Military Academy learn more about the Heart-Eating Palm." The figure of Si Wulu flashed through Master Mu's mind.
"Where is he?" the luxurious man asked with interest.
"That child was once affected by the remaining power of the Heart-Eating Palm, and someone sacrificed his supreme foundation to save his life. This may be an opportunity. Of course, this is only a possibility." Master Mu explained.
Si Wu Lu, I can only help you so far. The rest depends on your fortune. I hope you can seize this opportunity, because you need such an opportunity more than anyone else. Master Mu sighed inwardly.
In fact, when he first met Si Wulu, he already knew about Si Wulu's situation. Everyone in the wilderness knew who were the people who were willing to let the strong aliens use the Heart-Eating Palm.
Because the Heart-Eating Palm is different from ordinary skills, its training process is extremely difficult and cruel. Even if you master it, you only have one chance to make a move. This is an evil skill that will perish together with the enemy.
He pitied the child and grieved for the strong man with the Heart-Eating Palm in his body, so he later tried every means to get close to the child.
Bai Yunfei's expression instantly became serious.
.....
After sending Sister Liu away, Si Wulu continued to chop firewood in the yard.
"Bah, bang, bang!" A burst of applause sounded from behind.
Si Wulu immediately turned around and looked.
This was the first time that Si Wulu met Bai Yunfei, a man who was both a teacher and a friend in Si Wulu's life and had an influence on his life. Many years later, Si Wulu still clearly remembers the scene at that time.
It was a sunny morning, and a gentle and elegant man in rich clothes walked step by step under the morning light. Along with that gorgeous figure, a reassuring aura hit his face.
The visitor was obviously stunned for a moment when he saw Si Wulu, and then asked with a smile: "Your name is Si Wulu, right?"
"Yes, you are?" Si Wulu raised his head and looked at the man in rich clothes.
"Very strong." The man in rich clothes stretched out his hand.
Si Wulu was stunned. For a long time, Si Wulu wiped his palms on his clothes and then stretched them out. Bai Yunfei held it. Looking at the young man opposite him, who seemed like a restless little beast, Bai Yunfei suddenly changed his mind.
"Unconsciously, seventeen is already a long time ago." Bai Yunfei sighed.
"Are you a guest from the Bai family in the imperial capital?" For some reason, Si Wulu felt an inexplicable fondness for the man in front of him and couldn't help but ask.
"Um!"
"What's the matter with you?" Si Wulu asked doubtfully.
"I want to give you an opportunity." Bai Yunfei replied mysteriously.
"Opportunity? What opportunity?" Si Wulu looked wary and took a step back unconsciously.
There is an ancient saying that if you show courtesy for nothing, there will be deception.
"I happen to have a recommended spot for Imperial Military Academy admissions. Originally, I planned to give it to others, but now that I see you, I think you need it more than anyone else." Bai Yunfei didn't care at all about Si Wu Lu Instead, he spoke directly.
The Imperial Military Academy is the most prestigious school in the wilderness. Even a country boy who has never seen the world knows what it means. But the higher the value of the gift, the greater the price paid.
"I'm not interested." After thinking for a moment, Si Wulu decisively refused.
"Don't refuse in a hurry! A beautiful experience may not represent your ability, but it will give you a higher starting point in life in the future. You should have a girl you like at your age! Tenderness that achieves nothing is worthless. ." Bai Yunfei said with a chuckle.
This sentence directly hit the deepest tenderness in Si Wulu's heart, causing Si Wulu to fall silent.
"Your mother also studied at the Imperial Military Academy. Don't you want to see her footsteps?" Bai Yunfei continued to induce.
After finishing speaking, Bai Yunfei took out a piece of jade from his waist and threw it directly to Si Wulu.
At the moment of contact, a touch of coldness and warmth spread into the palm of the hand. Siwu Lu took a closer look and saw that the jade crystal was smooth and delicate, and seemed to be wrapped in smoke. He knew it was extraordinary at a glance.
"Do you know my mother? Who are you?" After hearing this, Si Wulu held the jade in his hand tightly.
"Haha! Not only do we know each other, but we are also very familiar with each other." Bai Yunfei said with a smile on his face.
"Then what kind of person is my mother?" Si Wulu asked eagerly. He knew nothing about his parents, and that person had never mentioned them before. Now someone suddenly told him about his mother, and for a moment, he was completely confused.
Bai Yunfei smiled and said nothing, just looked at Si Wulu quietly.
"What price do I need to pay?" Si Wulu asked loudly without caring about anything else.
"If you want to know everything, then come to the Imperial Capital. My name is Bai Yunfei, you can also call me uncle." After saying that, Bai Yunfei turned around and left. As quietly as he came.
"After arriving in the Imperial Capital, you can go directly to the Bai Family in the Imperial Capital." A voice came from outside the courtyard.
Si Wulu looked at the jade in his hand and stood quietly, silent.
Outside the yard, the sound of the man's footsteps became fainter and fainter until they disappeared.
"Is this your child? He looks so much like you, he is almost carved out of the same mold." Bai Yunfei murmured to himself, his eyes filled with tenderness but with a hint of unknown regret.
