Part 1 A Strange World (21)

"Brother Bai, don't panic, the road in this backyard is complicated, does Brother Bai have the confidence to go out? If you accidentally get into a certain lady's boudoir, it will be a big mistake. Su Xiangyun asked carefully.

Bai Qixin couldn't help but laugh for a while, don't say it's your Zhou Mansion, when you were a thief, you haven't encountered any kind of complicated terrain, although it was the first time to come in just now, but Bai Qi has always been familiar with the terrain and roads, not to mention that the sky is not completely dark now, even if it is completely black, Bai Qi can still come and go freely.

I thought so, but it was not good to say so, Bai Qi said in a negative manner: "Don't worry about Miss Lao Su, Bai Qi can do it himself." After speaking, Bai Qiyi bowed his hand, turned around and left.

Bai Qi was walking in front, Su Xiangyun's face suddenly changed, and he whispered to Xue Crimson: "Follow him." Saying that, he quietly hid behind the rockery and followed Bai Qi from afar.

Thieves generally have a good premonition, Bai Qi is no exception, did not take a dozen steps, Bai Qi felt that he was being followed behind, Bai Qi pretended to identify the road on a fork in the road and stopped, secretly but quietly luck, listened carefully, sure enough, there were two people behind him made a slight footsteps, Bai Qi used his toes to think about who was with him, and he thought violently that he almost made a big mistake, this week's backyard is huge, and it is not easy for ordinary people to come in and find the right way out, and he is now just a scholar, I was knocked unconscious again just now, and if I walked out like this, it would inevitably arouse the suspicion of these two girls.

When Bai Qi thought of this, he stopped where he was, pretending to be a little lost, and looked around. Su Xiangyun and Xue Crimson, who were following Bai Qi, saw that Bai Qi stopped, and looked around, and decided that Bai Qi was lost, and the doubts in Su Xiangyun's heart were also eliminated, and it seemed that he was still too careful.

"Sister, this nerd must be lost, let's leave him alone, let him go around there alone, and see how he gets out." Xue Crimson whispered to Su Xiangyun in a standard schadenfreude tone.

Su Xiangyun also said in a low voice: "Nonsense, it's dark this day, you let her be alone in the backyard, if something happens, how can this be good?" ”

"Then what do you say, he doesn't want us to lead the way." Snow Crimson muttered.

Let's talk about Bai Qi, it's a little difficult to do at this time, if you really go out like this, I'm afraid of being suspected, but this backyard house is too big, and I'm not familiar with the road, if I really crash into a place where I shouldn't go, it will be ugly.

At the critical moment, a savior appeared. There was a sudden bustle at the birthday banquet outside, blowing and playing and singing non-stop, Bai Qi was overjoyed, thinking that it was the invited opera troupe singing, as long as you go out along the place where the sound came from, there should be no problem.

So Bai Qi listened carefully to the play, and walked in the direction of the sound, although there were still some forks in the road along the way, but Bai Qi's general direction was correct, and the two followers behind saw Bai Qi like this, and also understood a general idea, knowing that Bai Qi would not get lost, so they looked at each other and smiled, turned around and left, and no longer followed Bai Qi.

Out of Zhou's Mansion, it was already completely dark, Bai Qi walked down the street, and only then did he feel that he was hungry, so he found a restaurant casually, ordered some wine and food and sat down, and poured himself a drink by himself.

As soon as he was half-full, Bai Qi remembered the note that Su Xiangyun gave him, so he found it easily, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but feel numb on his scalp. There is only one line on the note, the end of the world. Bai Qi secretly speculated to himself, trying to figure out the meaning of Su Xiangyun's words, and soon Bai Qi figured out what the problem was, slapped his thigh violently, and secretly scolded himself for being careless.

There is a problem with the Songhe longevity picture that he gave to Zhou Ziyun, the problem is that he wants to save money, the painting is painted by himself at noon, the ink on the painting is still fresh, people who are good at this way should see it at a glance, Zhou Ziyun's old eyes are dizzy and confused, but that Liu Yuxin doesn't rub sand in his eyes, this Su Xiangyun is Li Qing's disciple, presumably Liu Yuxin saw something and told Li Qing, and Li Qing told Su Xiangyun again.

It's really better to be a person than the sky, Liu Yuxin must have guessed that Bai Qi is a wanderer at the end of the world, Su Xiangyun's meaning is also very clear, don't you Bai Qi want to live a life of stopping? Then come to the heavenly residence to report honestly, otherwise you will poke things out and let Bai Qi live in peace.

Bai Qi, who wanted to understand everything, couldn't stop sneering, in the past, he was obscure and did not show his edge, that was because he was young and did not have the strength to protect himself, and now the martial arts method has been basically completed, even compared to his previous life, his current martial arts cultivation is only high and not low, plus his rich practical combat experience, as well as the various martial arts he has been exposed to in his previous life, in this world, he may not be afraid of anyone.

It is best for Su Xiangyun to poke this thing out, then it can be regarded as making a name for himself. When Bai Qi thought of this, he was even more determined not to go to the heavenly dwelling.

After being full of wine and food, Bai Qi went home.

The so-called home, in Bai Qi's opinion, except for his mother and the old housekeeper Bai Fu, there is no difference between others and strangers, Bai Qi has been withdrawn since he was a child, and he is not familiar with his brothers and sisters, and the people in the family are even more dog-eyed, and they don't care much about Bai Qi, except for the eldest brother Bai Yunfan, who teaches himself well, others basically ignore Bai Qi's existence.

Bai Qi returned to the small courtyard where he lived in the side courtyard, and found that the lights were on in his house, Bai Qi hurried over, it turned out that his mother Xiaolian was sitting under the light, thinking that he was waiting for him to come back.

Bai Qi saw a cup on the table, knowing that it was his mother's soup stewed by himself, and he felt guilty for a while. Over the years, no matter how others treat her, her mother has always done this and that for herself behind her, never asked herself to do anything, and never complained about herself, let alone beating and scolding Bai Qi, what Bai Qi got from her mother has always been love.

Bai Qi hurriedly entered the house, and when Xiaolian saw Bai Qi coming back, she immediately stood up and said, "I'm back, why didn't I go home for dinner?" ”

Bai Qi hurriedly replied, "I ate something casually outside." Xiaolian didn't ask any more questions, took the cup of soup and said, "Come, I stewed some soup for you, you drink it while it's hot." ”

Bai Qi took the soup, opened it and drank it, although the soup stewed by Xiaolian didn't taste very good, but Bai Qi always felt that it was the best soup. Xiaolian smiled happily when she saw the fragrance that Bai Qi was drinking. Bai Qi looked at Xiaolian under the light, and saw that the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes had quietly crept up, and the years had left indelible marks on Xiaolian's face. Bai Qi couldn't help but feel sour when he saw it, his mother began to see old age, but he couldn't give her a better living environment. On weekdays in the Bai family, no matter how angry Xiaolian is with others, no matter how bad her mood is, but she never sees Bai Qi, she will show the happiest smile, this may be a mother's most selfless love, right? Bai Qi had never experienced his mother's love in his previous life, and in this life, he felt even more fortunate to have such a good mother as Xiaolian.

Thinking of this, Bai Qi's heart was hot, and he secretly told himself that everything should have changed, if nothing else, even if it was for his mother, he should do something for his mother.

Bai Qi was thinking about it, Xiaolian looked at Bai Qi, and said with a smile: "Ah Qi, the eldest lady went to me today, saying that she helped you find a family affair, and it is said that the woman's father is still a county magistrate." ”

Bai Qi was anxious when he heard this, and he was immediately choked by the soup, and a mouthful of soup squirted out, but fortunately, Bai Qi reacted quickly and turned his head violently, so that it did not spray on the face of the mother opposite.

Seeing Bai Qi like this, Xiaolian hurriedly stood up and patted Bai Qi on the back and said, "I can't see that you are in a hurry, what's the matter?" Do you miss your daughter-in-law? is also said, your sixth sister is only 17 years old, and it has been two years since she got married, so it's time for you to start a family. ”

Bai Qi, who has always hated arranged marriages, how could he succumb to the marriage arranged by others for him, and hurriedly shook his hand and said: "Mom, don't worry about this, go back and tell your aunt, just say I don't want to." ”

"Why don't you want to do this, kid?" Xiaolian muttered dissatisfiedly.

"The man has ambitions in all directions, and it's not too late to talk about it when I become famous." Bai Qi hurriedly made an excuse.

"What's the matter, start a family, what business do you start if you don't have a family?" Xiaolian was obviously dissatisfied with Bai Qi's explanation.

"Mom, you let me make up my own mind about this matter, and go back to my aunt for me." Bai Qi didn't have a move, so he had to use his usual tricks, stood behind Xiaolian, and lifted Xiaolian to pinch her shoulders.

Xiaolian didn't seem to have the intention of forcing Bai Qi, but she sighed and said, "How can I tell your aunt about this." Then Xiaolian remembered what happened again, turned to Bai Qi and said, "Your eldest brother sent someone back from Jiezhou and brought you a gift, and I put you on the bed." ”

"yes, thank you, big brother."

"Forget it, you can take care of this family matter yourself, I can't control you, it's not too early, I have to go back, your father should go to the study at this time, he won't be able to see me, maybe he will be verbose again." Xiaolian got up and packed her things before going out.

Bai Qi found the gift brought by Bai Yunfan on the bed, opened it and saw that it was actually a delicate dagger, Bai Qi was strange, how could Bai Yunfan give himself such a gift?

This dagger looks like a top-grade, put it out of the sheath, only to see the cold light pressing, Bai Qixin likes it, and he pins it on his waist.

After a busy day, Bai Qi was also tired, so he fell asleep. Tomorrow I have to arrange the living affairs of those children, there are still a lot of things, as for that bullshit heavenly residence, who likes to go.

Bai Qi slept very well this night, and when he woke up, it was already sunny outside, Bai Qi saw that the time was not early, so he quickly washed it, found two of his old paintings, took them and went out of the door.

As soon as he arrived at this Luohuafang, Bai Qi saw Shopkeeper Yu and a person drinking morning tea in the teahouse on the street, so he stepped forward and said, "Shopkeeper Yu, it's really a coincidence, I met you here." ”

When Shopkeeper Yu saw that it was Bai Qi, he immediately smiled on his face, and hurriedly said to Bai Qi: "Seventh Prince, don't say it, I'm looking forward to you coming, I have something to ask you." ”

Bai Qi smiled: "Isn't it just about calligraphy and painting?" I brought. As he spoke, Bai Qi patted the two calligraphy and paintings he brought.

"Oh, it's not this block, there's something else I want your help with." Shopkeeper Yu beckoned Bai Qi to sit down, and poured Bai Qi a cup of tea.
