The human brain is a very strange thing. If you don't have that kind of thought, you will never think about it in your life. Once you have it, you will think about it a lot.
Thinking about the time when he met Mu Yun, although he was polite to everyone, he was the most polite to Li Fenglan. Thinking about Chenwu again, he seems to particularly like to make Li Fenglan uncomfortable.
"No..." Li Fenglan was not embarrassed or happy when she thought of this. Instead, she felt very troublesome.
"What if he is that Si Ye?" Jade asked her.
Although I was sure that Mu Yun was not Si Ye, that was just my guess.
While I was thinking wildly, I heard someone shouting at the door of the courtyard: "Miss Li, are you busy?"
Li Fenglan became a little angry when she heard the words "Miss Li". After picking up Amber from Shili Mountain that day, Mu Yun already called Jade and Amber by their first names, but the word "Miss Li" was still polite to her, which seemed particularly harsh. Is it because her name has three characters? Calling him by his full name is too rude, calling him by two words is too intimate. The full name of Feicui is Zhou Feicui.
She stood up and looked at the door of the small courtyard. Mu Yun did not come in, but stood outside the courtyard and shouted.
She asked angrily: "What's the matter?"
Mu Yun replied: "We got rid of that sword. Come and take a look."
Hearing this, Li Fenglan picked up Jade and ran out.
In the lobby, Mu Yun and Bai Shuyu had sweat on their heads, and there were huge swords that were split into two at their feet. The giant sword is indeed hollow, but filled with plaster. At this moment, the plaster has been peeled off, and a wooden box covered with plaster is placed among the plaster chips.
Bai Shuyu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It was just taken out and has not been touched. You can open it yourself."
Li Fenglan squatted down, picked up the box, blew on the gypsum powder, and opened it.
The box was well sealed, no plaster penetrated, and inside lay a roll of white silk scarf.
Open the white silk scarf, which is one foot square, with a dozen red dots embroidered irregularly with red thread.
Li Fenglan frowned and asked, "What... does this mean?"
Bai Shuyu also knelt down and measured it carefully, shook his head and said, "I can't tell... Taoist Zhu, do you think it looks like a star chart?"
Zhu Mingyu didn't look carefully, just shook her head and said, "It can't be a star chart."
"Ah!" Li Fenglan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, dropped the silk scarf, ran to the backyard, and took the map.
Spread the map on the ground and cover it with the scarf. Red dots cover precisely several locations on the map.
Bai Shuyu nodded and said, "It seems that seniors Lin Quan and Qin Peiran move around a lot. They took apart a secret and kept it separately... So the question is, what do these places represent?"
Li Fenglan was a little frustrated: "The answer to the mystery has been revealed, but the mystery is unknown."
Bai Shuyu stretched out and said, "Let's do this for now. Guessing is not an option. I have to take a bath and rest."
After entering this courtyard, the three girls went to boil hot water and take a bath first, while the three men were left to find a way to split the giant sword. Zhu Mingyu was not well yet, so the physical work was done by Mu Yun and Bai Shuyu. They couldn't wait to wash up and rest.
Until dark, more than a dozen servants from the Bai family in Chuzhou came and brought them a lot of food. After a hearty meal, they gathered in the small garden in the backyard to discuss what to do next.
"Go back to Luoyang." Li Fenglan suggested. Originally, she planned to go directly to Chang'an after going to Yaoxian Valley, but there were too many things happening along the way, including being ambushed and injured, which forced Li Fenglan to be cautious.
Bai Shuyu said: "When Jade found me, I deduced that our life will not be easy from now on."
Li Fenglan nodded: "Yes, the first few times were just tests. I think Ye Yu Xiaozhu also knows what our strength is, and then we should prescribe the right medicine."
While several people were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open, and several people immediately became alert.
Not long after, I heard a woman shouting from the direction of the main entrance.
"Sangong
son? Are you there? My lady is here. "
Bai Shuyu had heard this voice before. It was the voice of a servant in Bai Yanzhao's family. Bai Shuyu couldn't help but frowned. This "eldest lady" was naturally Bai Shuang'er. What was she doing here? Also, how did she know that she lived in a courtyard outside the city.
Bai Shuyu said, "Everyone, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."
After all, this is someone else’s home, and you can’t drive them away.
Bai Shuyu put on a smile and walked out of the backyard. There was a sedan parked in the front yard, and a woman opened the sedan curtain and walked out. It was Bai Shuang'er.
Bai Shuyu smiled and asked, "Cousin, how did you know I was coming?"
"Ah...listen to what my father said." Bai Shuang'er was confused.
What Bai Yanzhao said? I'm afraid Bai Shuang'er wasn't eavesdropping. We had agreed to try not to let other family members know about the reopening of the Bai family in Chuzhou. It seems that the Chuzhou Bai family is used to living a stable life and has forgotten the simple truth that walls have ears.
"Well, what's the matter with my cousin?" Bai Shuyu was a little confused. The last time they met, Bai Shuang'er wanted to eat him. Why was he so happy this time?
"Come and see you, I brought you some snacks."
Bai Shuang'er's eager eyes alerted Bai Shuyu. As a handsome man who has been wandering around flowers for many years, he was very familiar with this kind of look.
Trouble and headache, these are Bai Shuyu's current emotions.
"Cousin, thank you for your trouble." You can't help but accept someone's kindness. Bai Shuyu took the box of snacks and thought about how to send Bai Shuang'er away.
Who knew that Bai Shuang'er looked around and asked, "Didn't the Jade Girl be with you that day?"
"It's in the backyard."
"Take me to see you." His eyes became more eager.
Bai Shuyu was a little embarrassed: "Cousin, we are all Jianghu people, I'm afraid..."
"Afraid of what?" Bai Shuang'er asked, "You don't have to hide it from me, I already know it."
"What do you know?"
"The indifference towards you at home some time ago was all just an act, right?"
The case was solved.
Bai Shuyu sighed and persuaded patiently: "Since cousin already knows, then Shuyu will tell you straight away...Cousin, please go back and have less contact with us. At present, the reopening of the Bai family in Chuzhou is still confidential. You are coming all the way. If someone follows you, the secret will be exposed. A little carelessness will lead to death."
Bai Shuang'er's eldest daughter became angry: "Do you think this is useful? If I didn't come, there would be no danger of death? If I had known there was such a danger, you wouldn't have come to our house. Oh, stop talking nonsense and take care of me quickly. I’ll go meet you.”
"No, why do you have to see Jade Girl?"
"Thank you in person. If it wasn't her, wouldn't we have explained it to her then?"
"I've already thanked you."
"I haven't thanked you yet, so stop talking nonsense." After saying that, he ignored Bai Shuyu and walked quickly towards the backyard. Bai Shuyu hurriedly chased her. There was a difference between men and women, and he was too embarrassed to hold his cousin back.
I had no choice but to say sincerely: "In the future, can you wait until the situation stabilizes before thanking you?"
"no."
Seeing that he could no longer persuade him, Bai Shuyu said to Bai Shuang'er's two maids, "Okay, you don't go, just stay outside."
While talking, the two of them had already entered the backyard.
Bai Shuang'er originally thought that Bai Shuyu and Feicui lived here now, but who knew that when she entered the backyard, she found that there were five more people.
Li Fenglan narrowed her eyes, full of doubts. Bai Shuyu said helplessly: "Let me introduce to you, this is my cousin, Bai Shuang'er... Cousin, this is Miss Li Fenglan, this is Amber, this is It’s Taoist Master Zhu Mingyu from Qingfeng Temple, and this is Mu Yun. This is the one you’ve seen, Jade.”
Li Fenglan stood up and said, "I've met Sister Bai."
Although there was a cute smile on his face, Li Fenglan still couldn't figure out why Bai Shuyu brought this cousin here.
Bai Shuang'er walked towards them and said calmly and gracefully: "I have met you all. The little girl Bai Shuang'er is Shu Yu's cousin."
Shuyu
? Bai Shuyu was puzzled, calling him so affectionate? Didn’t you say you were a playboy last time?
The atmosphere became strangely awkward. In order to smooth things over, Bai Shuyu said: "Cousin, then you..." It means that if nothing happens, you should leave as soon as possible.
Who knew that Bai Shuang'er found a stone bench and sat down on it, and asked Jade affectionately: "Miss Jade, are you used to living here?"
Jade replied: "Very good."
"That's good, that's good. Have you eaten?"
"have eaten."
Although it was commonplace, among these people, except Bai Shuang'er herself, everyone else felt very embarrassed.
"Are you talking about business?"
Bai Shuyu nodded.
Bai Shuang'er smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, don't worry about me, you can continue chatting."
Li Fenglan said to herself: Sister, is this your problem? Can you listen to what we are talking about?
Bai Shuang'er said dejectedly: "Cousin, we've met. It's getting late. You should go back and rest quickly. I guess you came out secretly, right? Go back quickly, don't let uncle worry."
"It doesn't matter, I sneak out often."
Bai Shuyu suddenly smiled with relief. He sat down next to Jade, just in front of Bai Shuang'er - he was originally sitting in Bai Shuang'er's seat. He said to the others: "Isn't everyone okay with this?"
Li Fenglan frowned and asked, "Why don't you have any objection?"
"Go back to Luoyang."
Li Fenglan's frown deepened, meaning: Do you really want your cousin to listen?
Bai Shuyu didn't take it seriously and said, "I think we should not be in a hurry to go back."
"Why?"
"That map marks the Chuzhou and Yangzhou generations. The location should imply something. We might as well look for it first."
Li Fenglan thought thoughtfully: "That's the truth, but there were too many things happened along the way, and there are a lot of people in the Hall of Idle People now. I have to go back and see them."
Bai Shuyu lightly fanned his folding fan and said, "Don't worry about this, we will see you sooner or later... Li Fenglan, I want to ask you a question."
"You ask."
"What are you going to do with these old people who are living in Xianren Hall now?"
"Nothing to do, let them choose. It's okay to live in Xianren Hall, or go to Chaolan Valley... I know what you mean, you want them to help, right?"
"Yes, there are so many experts in Changfeng Tower. It would be great if they could help."
"Hey," Li Fenglan sighed, "I don't want to, but they have been anonymous for the past eighteen years and have suffered so much, I can't bear it."
Bai Shuyu shrugged: "Then there's nothing we can do."
Li Fenglan asked: "What do you think? Should we go back or stay here to investigate?"
Zhu Mingyu said: "There is a third option."
"What option?"
"We are resting here for the time being. Kohaku's injuries, my injuries, and yours have not been recovered yet. Whether we are rushing or investigating at this time, it will have an impact. Sharpening the knife will not delay the woodchopping, everyone needs to recover first Let’s talk later.”
Amber swallowed hard the food in her mouth and said vaguely: "Yes, let's rest first."
Li Fenglan rolled her eyes at her: "You just don't want to move, you are so lazy."
Bai Shuang'er suddenly asked Li Fenglan: "Miss Li, do you want to stay here permanently?"
Li Fenglan was speechless for a moment and replied: "Ah...yeah...what's your advice, Sister Bai?"
