Bai Xiu was stunned, and immediately reacted, she was talking about the night when he "left his soul" in Huishan Villa.

Xiang Yunsheng smiled, but tears couldn't help but roll down.

"At that time, in order to save me, you were attacked by the plum flower demon, I was so anxious, and I felt relieved inexplicably, I was lying on your back, not afraid at all, there was only one thought at the time, that is, if I could marry him when I grow up, how good it would be. ”

She wiped her tears and choked up, "Later, when I grew up, I went to ask my grandfather about you, but he refused to tell me anything.

I worshipped Zhang Daochang as a master and learned spells, I think since you are a cultivator, then I will also be a cultivator, anyway, the circle is so big, I will meet you one day, how do you know that I have waited for ten years. ”

Bai Xiu didn't know what it was like, so she raised her hand and touched her head, and said in a low voice: "Thank you for liking me, but emotional matters can't be forced after all, you deserve better people." ”

"Woo woo woo ......" Xiang Yunsheng threw himself into his arms and cried loudly, sobbing, "Why didn't I give birth ten years early, why didn't I meet you earlier...... It's so unfair......"

"Alas. Bai Xiu sighed and stopped talking.

Xiang Yunsheng finally stopped crying, sat up straight, looked up at him and said, "Do you want to go back with your aunt?"

"Not yet. He shook his head.

Xiang Yunsheng burst into tears and smiled: "Then you can continue to live here, what I said before was all angry words, don't take it to heart, I, how can I be willing to make you homeless...... You, such an adult, you don't know how to take care of yourself, no wonder your aunt can't rest assured, and comes all the way to see you. ”

She stood up, looked at the neon lights that were gradually lighting up outside the window, and whispered, "I should go back, you have a good rest." ”

Bai Xiu nodded at her: "Goodbye." ”

"Goodbye. ”

Xiang Yunsheng turned around and walked out the door, and immediately after, he heard her and Bai Yan's voice saying goodbye. After a minute or two of silence, the door to the room was pushed open again. Bai Yan leaned against the door and said, "Yunsheng is a good girl. ”

Bai Xiu said in a low voice: "It's a pity that I'm not suitable for her." ”

Bai Yan smiled: "Sometimes you are very confused, easy to do stupid things, sometimes you are sober and terrible, and you are also terrible calm." ”

Bai Xiu couldn't help but smile: "There's nothing bad about it." ”

"Yes. Bai Yan nodded, "Your feelings have always been reserved only for those you like." ”

Bai Xiu looked at her and said, "It's good to know about emotional matters, there's no need to discuss too much." Auntie, I want to know, what happened to the battle of Maple Leaf Forest back then?"

"The matter of the Maple Leaf Forest?" Bai Yan said quietly, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" Don't you already know, the remnant scroll of the Returning Star from the Yuan killed Jiang Yuzao, and in order to retaliate, Fang Chunjun drove the Fang Family's Shadow Department and the Phoenix Sect elite to die together. ”

Bai Xiu heard a hint of deliberate concealment from her words, and he frowned and said, "I found a box on the beam of Qucheng's house, which contained a letter and a note in addition to Ruyi's birth certificate.

I didn't have time to read the letter when it was taken, but I remember very clearly that the note had this sentence written on it: 'The incident of the twenty-second day has been raised, and so-and-so is suspected of being a traitor.'

Could it be that the battle of Maple Leaf Forest is not as simple as it seems, and there is another reason why the Phoenix Sect is defeated and returned?"

"Is this matter serious?" Bai Yan smiled inexplicably, "Why don't you ask, what did I say in the letter?"

Bai Xiu looked at her and didn't speak, Bai Yan shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, I won't sell Guanzi anymore, but ...... I don't want to tell you. ”

Bai Xiu was speechless for a while, but he knew her character very well, and knew that if she didn't want to say it, no one would be able to force her, so he had to retreat and ask her: "Auntie, did Ruyi look for you later?"

Bai Yan nodded: "Yes, he came to me and left some irrelevant things for you, if you are interested, you can go back to me to get them." ”

Bai Xiu heard the meaning of her words, and hesitated and said, "I don't want to go back to the Bai family yet." ”

Bai Yan raised his eyebrows and said suddenly: "Why, you like that little girl so much, you are reluctant to leave her?"

"It has nothing to do with Yunsheng. Bai Xiu said helplessly, "Not only these things happened in Xiongcheng, but there are also many grievances that I have not settled." ”

"Are you still investigating the organization that Zheng Ruyi is in?" Bai Yan sneered, "There is nothing to investigate at all, I don't know how many such forces there are in the world." ”

"Not only it, but also the forces behind it, if I didn't guess, they all have something to do with my mother. ”

Bai Xiu looked at her, "Auntie, I know you don't like me to mention her, but can you tell me what kind of person she is, what happened thirty years ago, why is everyone unwilling to say it?"

Bai Yan sneered: "So many things have happened, can't you still learn to let go of these problems." It won't do you any good to figure it out. ”

Seeing him bow his head in a gloomy manner, Bai Yan finally relented, and said slowly: "She is the undercover agent they sent to your father." ”

"Undercover?" Bai Xiu never expected that it would be this answer, to be honest, whether it was a mole or an undercover agent, these words were too far away from him, and he couldn't imagine why these people would be so-for-tat with the Bai family.

Bai Yan saw his doubts and smiled coldly: "You are mistaken, they are not just targeting the Bai family, but want to subvert the entire cultivation world, but unfortunately she chose your father." ”

Bai Xiu looked at her in disbelief for a while before saying, "Who are they?"

"I don't know. Bai Yan said truthfully, "There are too many unknown people and things hidden in this world, who can sort out this intricate circle."

Regarding these people, I only know that they are very ambitious, and although the Jiang family also intends to get involved in the cultivation world, it is by no means of a power level with them.

They have planted eyeliners in many family sects, monitoring everything we do, and will scatter those family sects whenever they have the opportunity. I suspect that this is how the Ming family was destroyed. ”

What she said undoubtedly coincided with Li Sancai's words, and Bai Xiu suddenly didn't know what to say.

And Bai Yan fell into the memory, and said slowly: "Back then, she deliberately brought the fragment from the Yuangui Star to the Illusory Heart Secret Realm, and then encouraged them to practice this mental method. If it weren't for her, our Bai family and the Fang family wouldn't be like this.

Even the things in the Maple Leaf Forest back then had her credit. ”

Seeing that he obviously didn't believe it, Bai Yan sneered and said, "Your father, don't I know yet, how could he think of coming back to ask for help when he caused his own trouble, and he refused to involve the Phoenix Sect."

It was she who imitated your father's notes and wrote the letter, and that's what happened next. ”

He couldn't help but fall silent, perhaps he had long suspected this.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Bai Yan said: "If you don't want to go back with me, I can't force you, but I can only give you two months, no matter what, then you should go back to the Bai family." ”

Bai Xiu also knew that this matter would never stop there, so he said, "I know, I will go back and give them an explanation." ”

Bai Yan looked at him intently for a few seconds, then turned around and walked out of the room: "I'm leaving too, you can do it yourself." ”

Bai Xiu sighed, a lot of information was circling in his mind, but he was never able to show him a clear way.

The next day, when Bai Xiu finished cleaning up and eating breakfast, he saw Xiaolong and the three of them carrying large bags and small bags on the second floor, but they didn't see Xiang Yunsheng alone.

He didn't ask, he just said, "What is this going to do?"

Chen Dong complained: "It's not that Xiaolong is going to hold an activity to promote the Dragon Boat Festival, and it's not good to ask the people in her club to help, so they only arrest the two of us to do coolies." ”

Xiaolong said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, everyone has to go home on the weekend, and I have no choice but to trouble you." ”

As soon as she said this, Chen Dong said happily: "It's my honor to serve beautiful women, right, Xizi?"

Lucy suddenly cut off, ignoring them, and smashed the contents of the large plastic bag onto the conference table, and in an instant, blue, red, white and other colored threads rolled on the table.

Bai Xiu suddenly said, "You want to make a five-color line?"

Wearing a five-color line on the Dragon Boat Festival is a custom in many places, and the Hongmeng Bai family is no exception.

Sure enough, Xiaolong nodded: "We don't know how to pack zongzi, so we went outside to order, and the five-color threads can't be bought outside, so I bought these threads online to make them myself, which is more sincere." ”

Bai Xiu was curious: "Are you going to send them to passers-by?"

Chen Dong suddenly said: "That's not enough, their club wants to hold a Dragon Boat Festival lecture in the ladder classroom of the economic management building, and this is for the people who listen to the lecture, and those who come have a share!"

Immediately, he said bitterly: "Hundreds of copies, it's really a chore to do it on Monday!"

He shook his head and went back to fiddling with the contents of the bag.

Bai Xiu was also not easy to stand, and said to them, "I can learn to do it too." ”

Xiaolong hurriedly waved his hand: "How can we let the wounded work...... However, I have something I want to consult with you, I wonder if I can?"

Seeing him nod, Xiaolong was overjoyed: "Let's go to the reception room and say." ”

The two went to the reception room one after the other, let him sit first, Xiaolong took out a notebook from his backpack, held the pen while asking, "Brother Bai, do you know how to ask for rain during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Bai Xiu was quite surprised: "Asking for rain during the Dragon Boat Festival?"

Xiaolong nodded: "In addition to the Dragon Boat Festival lecture, we also have to go to the township to hold a rain ceremony, I heard that the Dragon Boat Festival rains, can bring good luck to everyone." ”

When Bai Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Where did you hear about this? They all say, 'The Dragon Boat Festival is clear, people are exposed to medicine, and there is no disaster in the year', 'Dragon Boat Festival rain, ghosts are exposed to medicine, and people are sick', and they have only been asking for rain during the Dragon Boat Festival, but they have never heard of asking for rain." ”

"Is that so...... I don't know, it was Teacher Fan from the club who told us. ”

Xiaolong was a little surprised, "Because the towns below have encountered a spring drought, we want to hold an event during the Dragon Boat Festival, which can promote the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival and give the villagers a little comfort." ”

After listening to her words, Bai Xiu understood Teacher Fan's thoughts very well: "That's right, many folk customs are not static, but should be arranged on a case-by-case basis, if so, it is nothing to ask for rain during the Dragon Boat Festival." ”

Xiaolong couldn't help but smile: "Hearing you say this, I will be relieved." Alas, if only we could have begged them for the belated spring rain. Unfortunately, this rain prayer ritual is only a consolation, and most of it is performative. ”

Bai Xiu thought for a while and said, "That's not necessarily, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called the Dragon Festival." The dragon, Si Yu, in fact, rowing a dragon boat during the Dragon Boat Festival, also has the meaning of worshipping the dragon king, praying to him for good weather after the festival, especially not to flood in the rainy season.

If you really want to pray for rain on that day, it will be more effective. Of course, this is just a legend, around the Dragon Boat Festival is the rainy season, there will be drought, perhaps the climate itself, but there are other factors.

In the final analysis, seeking rain is only a palliative rather than a cure, and finding the source of the drought is the most important thing. ”

Xiaolong heard the meaning of his words, and said with great joy: "In other words, there is really a secret way to ask for rain in the world?"
