Returning to Edinburgh again, looking at the familiar streets, Bai Yujing found that he had walked around Scotland for a long time, and finally returned to the starting point.

When the two arrived, it was already afternoon, Bai Yujing felt hungry, all the way, from Stirling to Edinburgh, there was not much to eat, Bai Yujing suddenly felt that the castle had seen too much, and he lost his senses, after all, along the way, the castles he encountered, all kinds, new and old, intact, damaged, Bai Yujing was considered to have read it all over.

"Emma, let's find a place to eat!"

Emma shook her head and drove straight to another place, "No, have you forgotten what you promised me?"

Bai Yujing immediately recalled: "No?"

Emma immediately said angrily, "You said you were going to see my father with me, and tonight, you will have dinner at our house!"

Bai Yujing found that he forgot a very important thing, for Chinese, seeing parents is a very important etiquette, although it is not so important for foreigners, but the old man handed over his daughter to you, and he will definitely examine you stinky boy.

Generally, foreigners will only bring it back to their parents when they are sure to get married, it stands to reason that Bai Yujing and Emma have not known each other for a long time, and the progress is indeed a little fast, but of course Bai Yujing will not say such inappropriate words, since Emma is willing to take herself back to see her father, Bai Yujing also feels very happy.

"I'm so sorry, Emma, I forgot, I haven't prepared a gift yet. Bai Yujing felt a little scrambled.

After buying some fruit in a hurry, I brought a bottle of whiskey, which was very simple, not expensive, and more suitable for the first time.

Emma's father lives in the new town, and Edinburgh is still very lively at this time, with many tourists and a festive atmosphere on the streets, but Bai Yujing feels a little nervous.

In the end, the car stopped next to a street in the new city, next to a flower shop, Emma pushed open a small door next to it, and immediately walked in, Bai Yujing followed her, there was no spacious door, but there was a large living room, the layout was very warm, very simple but full of mood, there were flowers and grass, and there was a parrot, and the ground was spotlessly cleaned.

Walking downstairs, a meticulous middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, with meticulous hair arrangement, walked in, the man was very handsome, with a thin stubble and deep eyes, which made people feel that he was full of charm, especially the mouth with a pipe, Bai Yujing felt as if he had seen Sherlock Holmes.

There is no reason, this temperament, this appearance, is simply a killer of young women and girls, sure enough, the appearance of this thing is all inherited by the family, there is no good gene by mutation or something, it is completely unreliable.

"Emma, you're back. The man walked down the stairs, smiled and took off his pipe, glanced at Bai Yujing, and then said to Emma.

Emma immediately rushed forward and threw herself into the man's arms: "Oh, Daddy, I miss you so much!"

The man expressed his displeasure: "I see that you haven't thought about me at all these days, and if I hadn't seen you in the newspaper, I wouldn't know what you did." ”

Emma pouted and said, "And what am I doing?"

The man gave a thumbs up, "Very well done, my baby daughter is the best, very much like your father and me when I was young." ”

Emma immediately said, "Dad, you are also very young now, by the way, Dad, I want you to introduce someone." ”

Emma immediately led his father to Bai Yujing, although Bai Yujing was a little nervous, but still stood up straight, trying to make himself look more confident and capable, "This is my boyfriend......"

Emma's father immediately interrupted Emma: "I know, I saw him in the newspaper, Ian, it's nice to meet you, I'm William the Bruce." ”

Bai Yujing immediately stepped forward: "Hello, very nice to meet you, Mr. Bruce, you can also call me by my Chinese name, Bai Yujing." ”

"Bai, Yujing, right? My Chinese is not very good, and it is a bit difficult to read, so I still call you Ian." "Mr. Bruce seems to be a bit of a rigid person, very polite in his speech, but he feels a kind of indifference that rejects people from thousands of miles away, typical of the British.

"Okay, Mr. Bruce. ”

In the evening, I ate in the restaurant on the second floor, and the cook was Emma's stepmother, a very tall and tall brunette English woman Daisy, very thin, with very three-dimensional facial features, feeling like a model, and I also met Emma's other family member, Emma's sister Bethany, a little girl with black hair under the age of ten, and Emma's blonde hair, just in contrast.

Bethany is a girl who is a little afraid of life and doesn't like to talk, which is not the same as Emma's bold adventure, extroversion, and even more different, it seems that even if it is the same family, the same family environment, and the children who grow up will be very different.

Bethany has been staring at Bai Yujing with big eyes, as if she is very curious about Bai Yujing, Emma's stepmother Daisy is very enthusiastic, sitting next to Bai Yujing, constantly asking about the matter between Bai Yujing and Emma.

"How did you and Emma meet?"

"Oh, that's so romantic. ”

"Can you tell me a little bit about the manuscript of Gulliver's Travels?"

At the dinner table, once the topic was opened, the situation became hot, and the topic also caught the attention of Emma's sister, who listened to Bai Yujing and Emma laughing about their wonderful trip along the way.

When Bai Yujing said that he had encountered the Loch Ness Monster, even Mr. William the Bruce, who had always been calm, said that his eyes were on Bai Yujing, and Bethany held a fork and always wanted to speak, but he didn't seem to have the courage to say it.

Bai Yujing immediately looked over, "Bethany, do you have any questions for me?"

Bethany finally mustered up the courage: "Is that monster really as tall as a three-story building?"

Bai Yujing nodded: "That's right, it's actually even taller than that, his neck is seven or eight meters long, plus the head, the body that is silent in the water is even bigger, not to mention its body and slender tail." ”

"Weren't you scared?" asked Bethany curiously.

Bai Yujing immediately said: "Of course I'm afraid, in the face of this giant beast, he can swallow me into his stomach with just one bite, like a piece of cream cake, but I know that I can't run, because as soon as I run, I will expose the weakness of my back to it, and I can't see its movements, it will attack me, then I will really die, it was very critical at that time, and my best way is to stand still." ”

Bethany then asked, "So how did you get out?"

Bai Yujing pretended to be mysterious and said: "I have a mysterious magic weapon, the water monster didn't dare to hurt me, it circled around me a few times, and then left." ”

"Is that the cane you have in your hand?" William Bruce said, Bai Yujing was startled as soon as he spoke, how could Emma's father know about this?

William Bruce said: "Don't be surprised, I saw it in the photo, and although it was unremarkable, I thought it was strange why you were holding a cane with you. ”

Bai Yujing thought for a moment and nodded: "I'm not sure, maybe it's an illusion on my part, I felt that it had no ill will towards me, it seemed to be wise, it recognized the cane in my hand, and it was also observing me, and then after looking around me, the residents on the riverside found it, and it immediately fled in panic." ”

William Bruce nodded, "Can I take a look at it?"

"Of course!" Bai Yujing picked up the backpack that was placed downstairs, took out the palm of his hand, and put it on William Bruce's hand.

The black-brown cane, just the thickness of a hand, and the top of the dragon-like head, as if it were naturally formed, can be held to prevent it from slipping, "Sure enough, it's a holy oak tree." ”

"Holy oak trees?" Bai Yujing didn't expect William Bruce to say such a word, and Emma didn't expect her father to know the origin of this cane.

This was a good opportunity to find out the origin of this cane, and the two immediately asked together, "What is this?"

William the Bruce shook his head: "I've only heard of it, and I didn't know of such a thing in the records? This is the first time I've seen it, the legendary cane made of holy oak trees, and you should have heard of its owner." ”

"His name is Merlin. ”

As soon as these words came out, the people at the entire table were stunned, although Bai Yujing was not British, but Merlin's name, Bai Yujing had heard of it, this is the source of Western magicians and wizards, the legend of magicians and wizards began from this person, the legendary King Arthur's best friend, guided King Arthur to get the legendary sword in the stone, and unified England, this is a famous legendary figure.

Emma immediately said, "Father, you said this is Merlin's staff?"

William Bruce shook his head: "I don't know, I've only heard, whether it's true or not, I can't be sure." ”

William Bruce continued: "However, the National Library of Scotland has records and legends about Merlin, so if you are interested, you can check them out. ”

Bai Yujing carefully took the cane, if it is confirmed what William Bruce said, this is a real treasure, not to mention the legendary level, the staff, who has seen it, it seems that he was really a hero with a discerning eye, and he could see at a glance that this was a staff.

The little girl Bethany stretched out her head curiously, and Bai Yujing touched it and looked at it, which could be regarded as satisfying her curiosity.
