Chapter 11 The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
Seeing this, Bai Qing hurriedly supported her and comforted her in a low voice: "Auntie, don't be too sad. It is a pleasure to be reunited with Uncle He today, and I think Aunt Bai Su must be very happy to have a spirit in the sky. ”
Bai Yan choked for a long time, then gently wiped his tears, and said softly to the young man with red eyes: "You are Bai Cong, I hugged you back then." At that time, you were only two years old, and in the blink of an eye, you were already so old, what a talent. ”
The young man named Bai Cong nodded, gave Bai Yan an elder salute in a proper manner, and then politely stepped aside.
Brother Bai Qing naturally couldn't lag behind, and returned Bai He's gift.
A few more people exchanged a few more words, and Bai Yan said to Bai Zhenguo, who had been silent: "I heard that Su'er has gone, and I really have no intention of discussing tomorrow's affairs." Can the Duke of Tianfu allow me to go and worship Su'er first?"
Bai Zhenguo nodded, and said with a pleasant face: "Miss Yan and Miss Su have a deep sisterhood, how can the old man be an unfriendly person?"
It's just that for tonight's banquet, the Qinglong Sect has already prepared a thin wine, and invited several other ruling heads to gather, and I hope that Miss Yan must find time to go to the banquet. ”
Bai Yan smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "That's natural, Bai Yan thanked the Duke of Tianfu for his understanding." ”
Bai Zhenguo smiled kindly, and led Bai Liang to leave first.
Bai Sang patted Bai Che on the shoulder and said, "I should leave too, if you have something to do, go to Zhenbei Pier to find me." As long as I'm not traveling, I'm mostly there. ”
When he had finished speaking, he trotted into the city.
On the other side, the group of people brought by Bai He also surrounded him and Bai Yanhao and went in the other direction.
Even Bai Qing and Bai Cong followed, and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, I said......" Bai Che just wanted to say hello, but found that there was no one behind him.
Finally, he put down his hand, touched the tip of his nose, and couldn't help muttering, "What's the matter, our luggage is still in the car." ”
He patted the car door wistfully.
Just when he was at a loss, a clear voice behind him asked, "Excuse me, are you Bai Che of the Phoenix Sect?"
As soon as Bai Che turned around, he saw a girl standing not far away looking at him with a smile.
She wears the jeans and casual shirt that little girls love nowadays, her thin waist and long legs make her figure very graceful, the long ponytail is tied high behind her head, which is very crisp and neat, and her skin is also very white, and her face has a healthy flush.
She is like a rose in the rain, naturally beautiful and full of vitality.
It's a beauty.
Bai Che nodded in his heart with great appreciation.
Seeing him looking at herself, the girl was not cramped, she stretched out her hand to him very politely, and said, "Hello, I am Bai Yu of the White Tiger Sect, and I am very happy to meet you." Because the Phoenix Sect has not yet been negotiated, we will receive the four of them from the White Tiger Sect for the time being. ”
Bai Che couldn't help but show a charming smile and shook Bai Yu's hand very gentlemanly.
He said with a fluttering eyebrow: "Miss Bai Yu is so beautiful and moving, she is really lucky to be favored by Miss in the next three lives." I'm Bai Che, I'm twenty-six years old, unmarried, and it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Bai Yu's body suddenly stiffened, and the smile on his face was almost unbearable.
But in the end, she withdrew her hand without a trace, and smiled politely: "Second Brother Bai is really humorous, hehe...... I'm tired from the journey, so I'd better take you to the 'Soul Residence' to rest first. ”
After saying that, she ignored him and instructed the people she brought to unload their luggage.
After instructing them to send their luggage into the town, Bai Yu said to Bai Che: "Let's go too." ”
Bai Che thought for a moment, and said: "I have long heard that Hongmeng Outer Town is very lively and prosperous, and it is rare to have time today, why don't you take the liberty of asking Miss Bai Yu to accompany me on a tour?"
Facing Bai Che's fiery gaze, Bai Yu naturally knew what he was thinking.
But she was far less thick-skinned than Bai Che, so she had to suppress the anger in her heart, laughed dryly, and said, "That little sister is better to be respectful than to obey her fate." ”
The two entered the town side by side, and they were greeted by the rows of shops on both sides of the street.
The streets are full of people, and it is indeed very lively.
However, it doesn't seem to be any different from other tourist areas, and it really doesn't seem to be a place where practitioners live.
Bai Yu introduced as he walked: "The south of the town is the business district, and the northeast is the office of the town. The main members of it are the Bai family from other towns, but it is the Bai Dong patriarch who can really make decisions.
However, in the past two years, he began to return to the affairs of the town, and the other towns were basically handed over to his brother Uncle Bai Rafter. ”
Without waiting for Bai Che to speak, she continued: "The Northwest District is the residence of the Bai family in other towns, and the Su Lingju where the guests are received is also over there.
It will take a while for the Greedy Wolf Division to be renovated, so I have wronged you to live there in the past two days.
This matter is the responsibility of Uncle Bai He and me, you can rest assured, we will definitely handle this matter before Miss Yan officially returns to the Bai family. ”
Bai Che listened to it and praised it again and again: "Miss Bai Yu is not only beautiful, but her work ability is also admirable. If someone can marry a wife like Miss Bai Yu, it will be a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes. ”
Bai Yu's expression froze, and he probably didn't know how to take his words, so he had to say: "Second Brother Bai is polite, just call me Bai Yu." ”
When Bai Che heard this, he immediately hit the snake with the stick, and said with a smile: "What Yu'er said is that I was born just now, and I will apologize to you first." ”
Bai Yu laughed dryly and immediately changed the subject: "There is a dock to the north of the outer town, and the boat there is the only tool to connect the outer town and the inner town. People from the six sects can come and go freely, and people from other towns need the approval of the heads of each clan to enter the inner town.
When I arrived at the Soul Residence, I would send over the jade talismans for the members of the six sects and the dresses to be used for tomorrow's sacrifice ceremony. ”
Bai Che looked at her affectionately, nodded and smiled: "Then it's troublesome." ”
Bai Yu held back the discomfort in his stomach, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and wisely chose to be silent.
Bai Che didn't mind the embarrassing atmosphere either, and said with a smile: "Speaking of the sacrificial ceremony of the Midyear Festival, I haven't participated in it for more than 20 years. When I think about it, when I was a child, I seem to remember that this activity process is extremely tedious, and it is far less interesting than putting river lanterns at night. ”
Bai Yu obviously agreed with this, and said with emotion: "Yes, when I was a child, I hated participating in the sacrificial ceremony very much, and I always hoped that the day would pass sooner, so that at night, I could go to the river with my friends to play." ”
She couldn't help but smile as she spoke.
Seeing that her eyes were bright and bright, Bai Che was moved for a while, and took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know if Yu'er is free tomorrow night? Why don't we go and put the river lanterns? Just to experience the fun of childhood." ”
Bai Yu smiled dryly: "It's rare that the second brother has such a Yaxing, but it's a pity that there is something in the sect tomorrow night, and the little sister will not accompany him." ”
Seeing that she refused so simply, Bai Che was naturally a little disappointed, sighed, and said, "That's really a pity." ”
As the two were talking, they had already passed through the downtown area to the town settlement on the north side of the town.
It was much cleaner than the commercial district to the south, and he only occasionally saw a few Bai family members passing by.
Bai Che was thinking about how to get close to Bai Yutao, but he saw a group of young people walking in front of him.
The man at the head was only fourteen or fifteen years old, tall and thin, and his appearance was quite weekly, but his face was pale and he looked a little malnourished.
He seemed to say something funny, and his emotions became agitated, and the people around him laughed too.
At that moment, the man next to the young man jerked him and gestured towards them.
The young man glared at him impatiently, and when he turned his head to see the two of them, his expression changed suddenly.
The others immediately stopped laughing, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say to each other, and they dispersed in a hurry.
In the end, only the young man bowed his head and cautiously walked up to the two of them.
Bai Che looked at Bai Yu puzzled.
The latter's expression remained unchanged, except for a cold glance at the young man, as if waiting for him to speak.
The young man's face turned red, and he muttered for a long time, "Sister......"
Bai Yu sneered, quickly looked away, and said coolly: "Bai Rui, you have this kung fu to hang out, it is better to practice at home." It's not your fault that you don't have talent, hard work can make up for it.
Grandfather and father have high hopes for you, but you are messing with a group of ordinary people every day, how can they rest assured? They are also big-hearted, if it were me, I wouldn't dare to hand over the White Tiger Sect to someone like you. ”
Bai Rui moved the corners of his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.
In the end, Bai Yu sneered, ignored him anymore, and said to Bai Che: "Second Brother Bai, go this way, there is Su Lingju in front." ”
Bai Yu said and left without looking back.
Bai Che hurriedly followed.
He looked back curiously, and saw Bai Rui standing in place with his fists clenched, looking at Bai Yu's back in a daze, as if he was crying.
"Your brother ......"
Bai Yu suddenly waved his hand, and said impatiently: "Can you not mention him?" ”
Bai Che closed his mouth knowingly, but secretly speculated about the relationship between the two.
Listening to what she meant, the young man named Bai Rui seemed to be the next successor of the White Tiger Sect.
However, judging from the reaction of the two just now, Bai Yu was quite unkind to him.
It's no wonder that even though he had left the Bai family a long time ago, Bai Che still had a little bit of a hearing about the parents of the Six Sects - this White Tiger Sect was notoriously patriarchal.
Bai Yu's resentment is so big, most of it has something to do with it.
The two walked through several corridors in the middle of the lake, and soon entered a courtyard with a single family.
The courtyard is full of grass and trees, and it is very cool, which must be their destination Su Lingju.
Bai Yu led him up to the second floor and stopped when he walked to the innermost room.
She said as she opened the door: "Because of the sacrificial ceremony, there are many people from other families in the town, and there are not enough rooms, only these three rooms are left. I heard that Brother Ling's eyes are not very convenient, so I arranged for you to share a room with him, what do you think?"
"Yu'er is still careful. Bai Che couldn't help but praise, but he secretly thought about it in his heart.
From Bai Yu's words just now, it can be known that the Qinglong Sect did not mention Bai Xiu's disappearance.
When it comes to the Jiang family and the Fang family, there is no need for them to hide it, the only possibility is that Bai Yan has already told Bai Zhenguo the truth of the matter.
But looking at Bai Zhenguo and Bai Liang's reactions before, they were not in the slightest hurry about this matter, so his aunt must have convinced them as well.
Tomorrow night is the Midyear Festival, and there is still one last day before the ghost gate closes, so she is so sure that Bai Xiu will definitely appear before the ghost gate closes?
What exactly is she going to do?
Bai Che's heart sank, and he vaguely realized that there was a big net quietly heading towards them...... No, to be precise, it opened fiercely towards Bai Xiu.
