I don't know how long it took, Xu Bai opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the oiled paper bag.

The deed is a good thing, at least it gives him a place to live, but his mind is no longer on this deed, but the tangram box, according to Bailiqi, is something left by his father, and he is a little curious.

The box was very light, which meant that it was not a valuable thing, and, with the size of the box, even if it was a treasure banknote, it could not hold a few pieces, so he didn't have much hope that he would make a small fortune from it, probably something of special importance for the commemorative significance, he pondered, Bailiqi returned these things left by his father to him, which meant that he would basically not take care of him in the future.

Xu Bai didn't want to destroy the box, but after tossing and turning for a long time, he found that he had no way to open the box without destroying it, which made him a little stunned.

However, thinking about his father's cautious character, he felt that this seemed normal, if it could be opened easily, it was estimated that his father would not hand it over to others for safekeeping, and even he suspected that if the box was violently destroyed, the contents of the box would not be preserved.

On the side of the courtyard gate, there was a slight sound, Xu Bai didn't raise his eyelids, if the people of the Baili family didn't take care of themselves, they would be in this broken place, basically no one would come over, and the thieves on Qipan Street would not and did not dare to enter their own yard.

"Let's eat!"

Baili Susu pushed open the door and came in, handing him a hot flatbread: "I just stole it from home, and my father told me not to come to you in the future!" ”

The girl's face was flat, but her eyes were slightly red, Xu Bai took the cake, glanced at her, and took a bite hard.

The room was quiet, and neither of them spoke, only the sound of Xu Bai munching on baked cakes.

Baili Susu just looked at him, kept watching him finish the whole cake, and then poured him a glass of water from the broken teapot on the table.

He drank it all and wiped his mouth with his cuffs: "I still have more than one or two pieces of silver on hand, otherwise, I will sell this house, let's elope!" ”

Baili Susu's eyes lit up, and then dimmed again: "Elopement, where are you going, you can't do anything except fight, except for fighting with people, we are out of this Nanjing City, I'm afraid that we will starve to death in a few days!" ”

"Fighting is also a skill, if I hadn't been able to fight all these years, our alley would be so peaceful?" Xu Bai said in a low voice: "What my father left for me, in addition to this house, is all about the ability to fight......

His eyes fell on the tangram box on the table, and he smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "Well, there is this thing!" ”

He looked at the tangram box, and then looked at Su Su: "Su Su, you said, if this is my father who left me a sum of money, isn't it that Uncle Baili doesn't have to be so anxious to find someone for you, let's repair this house well, and I will find a ...... to make a living."

He was still dreaming there, but Baili Susu picked up the tangram box on the table, opened it in three clicks and two clicks, and three palm-sized pieces of iron appeared in front of Xu Bai's eyes.

"I opened it a few years ago, and it's just a few signs, one of which has your name on it!" Baili Susu said: "You think so much, and the money left by Uncle Xu to you, these brands are not gold or wood, light and fluttering, and they will definitely not be gold and silver!" ”

"My name?" Xu Bai's heart moved, took the few brands, sure enough, three brands to start, the weight is extremely light, the top piece, up and down are moire, the middle of the yang carved out the word "Xu Bai", on the back of the brand, engraved this number: "twenty-three".

The other two brands, similar in style, are also engraved with a name and number, the only difference is that the front of these two brands is engraved in Yin.

"Shen Yun!"

"Zhao Huchen!"

Xu Bai chewed on the two names, one of which seemed to feel a little familiar.

"That's all?" He looked inside the box, and beyond that, there was nothing left.

"That's all!" Baili Susu said: "Give these things to you, my father must feel that the love owed to Uncle Xu back then has been repaid, and you will have to take care of yourself in the future!" ”

She looked at Xu Bai and said softly: "I will be fifteen after this year!" ”

"I know!" Xu Bai nodded.

"My father loves me, and he won't force me much, but my daughter's family doesn't have a reason to be sixteen years old and not looking for someone......"

"One year!" Xu Bai interrupted Baili Susu's words: "Give me a year, at most a year, I will come to your father to propose marriage!" ”

"Xu Bai, don't hate my father!" Baili Susu nodded: "My father treats you as a son, you should know it in your heart, but you have always been so ambitious, if you don't force you like this, I'm afraid that you will never have a chance, if you don't take my affairs seriously, and if that's the case, my father has nothing to worry about, rather than I suffer with you in the future, it's better to cut off the possibility of the two of us being together from the beginning!" ”

"I know!" Xu Bai nodded again: "Uncle's thoughts, I know very well, that matchmaker was also found by himself after Uncle released the news, you can rest assured, within a year, I will definitely let Uncle change his mind and hand you over to me with peace of mind!" ”

"If only you understood!" Baili Susu finally showed a smile on his face: "Then I'll go first, you have a good rest, think about what to do next, anyway, you don't want to disappoint me, don't let my father continue to disappoint!" ”

Watching Su Su leave, Xu Bai was in a good mood, although there was not much time left for him, but after all, he still had a chance, I have to say that Bai Liqi's hand completely aroused the last trace of fighting spirit of Xu Bai, who almost gave up his efforts in this Ming Dynasty.

For the sake of his own happiness, he must work hard!

Rubbing the few signs in his hand, Xu Bai smiled slightly, in addition to the biggest secret that he is a traverser, in fact, about him, about the Xu family, there is another secret that even the Baili family does not know.

He was very sure that the name "Xu Bai" on this plaque, Xu Bai on it, was not his name, because, everyone only knew that his father's name was Xu Sanduo, but no one knew that one night in the depths of his memory, his father had told him.

Xu Sanduo's real name is Xu Bai, his son, that is, he, is also called Xu Bai, in the future, if Xu Bai has a son, then, Xu Bai will no longer be called Xu Bai, this name will be inherited by his son, and at that time, probably he Xu Bai will be like his father, change his name to Xu Sanduo, Xu Siyou and the like, and then change places, and then continue to live.

The name Xu Bai was originally passed down from generation to generation by his Xu family.
