Bai Shijun's family stood at the door, watching these villagers go away. As a result, the alleys that were once bustling became empty streets after a while.

It was only by this time that the windows of the neighborhood, which had already turned off the lights, were lit up again - after such a commotion, no one dared to sleep anymore. The doors of each house were also opened, and they looked out carefully.

"Excuse me, excuse you!" Bai Shijun bowed in all directions, "It's a little thing, it's a surprise to everyone tonight, everyone ...... take care of it."

There was still no sound in the alley, and Bai Yi and Bai Ling also bowed in all directions with their father.

Faintly, Bai Ling heard a few sighs, and the sound of the wooden door closing and latching again, the lights of each house were silently extinguished, and Bai Shijun also took his two children and returned to his yard.

Bai Ling came out of the kitchen with a coarse cloth bag, and the two of them cooperated, carefully pouring the rice in his father's arms into the bag. This rice can be eaten by a family for at least half a month.

Bai Shijun finally let go of his grip on the hem of his clothes, he sat on the edge of the well in the yard, sighed like a man after the disaster, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, the two of you are not here at night, it is really noisy outside at night, I don't know what's going on, so many brocade guards have been recruited!" ”

"Don't say it," Bai Yi coldly took out the oiled paper bag in his arms and put it in Bai Shijun's hand, "If you're hungry, eat some." ”

Bai Shijun touched the oil paper bag, but it was still warm, "This is ......"

"It's the fried wontons that my brother bought." Bai Ling wiped the corners of his eyes and said in a low voice, "He wanted you to be home alone, and he probably didn't have anything to eat, so he brought some back." ”

"Uh-oh." Bai Shijun smiled on his face, opened the bag, touched a wonton with his bare hands, tasted a few bites, and sighed again.

Bai Ling asked softly, "Isn't it delicious?" ”

"Delicious, delicious! Incense is fragrant, but people are old, and they still want to eat some rice when they are hungry......" Bai Shijun looked at Bai Ling with some embarrassment, "Bai Ling, see if you can give it to Dad, and then make some more rice......

Before Bai Shijun finished speaking, the fried wontons in his arms were snatched away by Bai Yi and thrown directly into Bai Ling's arms on the side.

"It's all this time, and you have to pick and choose. Can you spend one-tenth, one-hundredth, of your heart for others on me and Buring? ”

Bai Shijun was stunned, and before he could react, there was a series of hungry sounds in his abdomen, and he lowered his head a little shyly, not knowing how to answer his son's question.

Bai Yi rolled up his sleeves, bent down to carry the rice bag on the ground in his arms, and said to Bai Ling on the side, "Don't move, I'll go." ”

Bai Ling was holding the still somewhat hot wontons, and his heart suddenly seemed to be empty, and the momentum of Fang Cai didn't seem to have completely subsided from his eyes.

The father in front of her, who doesn't do housework, and the benevolent doctor who just holds a salary for everyone, don't seem to be able to integrate well in her heart.

Bai Ling turned sideways and looked at Wei Shixi, who had been standing in the corner without speaking, "Has Fourteen eaten at night?" ”

Wei Shixi had been standing against the courtyard wall, a finely carved silver-sheathed sword in his arms. He didn't answer, just looked in the direction of Bai Ling.

Bai Ling raised the oiled paper bag in his hand, "If you want to eat wontons, I'll go get you a pair of chopsticks." ”

Wei Shishi straightened his back and walked over to this side, "Is there any wine?" ”

Bai Ling shook his head, "No, but the wine shop is not far from here, I'll go get you a pot." ”

"Okay, let's go together."

Bai Shijun stood up, "Slow! ”

Bai Ling turned his head and saw Bai Shijun frowning again.

If it weren't for Bai Ling's sudden turn to talk to this brocade guard, Bai Shijun would never have noticed that this person had entered the courtyard with them. He cleared his throat and walked up to Wei Shixi, and the eyes of the two sides, which had just been silent, regained their spirit at this moment, and said solemnly, "Your Excellency, where is the sacred?" Why did you follow the little girl? ”

"Wei XIV. Adults should know about me. Wei Shixi's voice was as light and short as ever.

This name aroused Bai Shijun's long-term memories, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you ...... The secret guard next to the Queen Mother? ”

"It used to be." Wei Shishi replied lightly, "Now I am mainly responsible for taking care of the safety of Bai Niangzi." ”

Bai Shijun was frightened for a while, and had to be involved in the harem, and he had already fallen into the land of tigers and wolves by mistake, why did his daughter have a relationship with the murderous Jinyiwei again?

"Bai Ling......" Bai Shijun looked at his daughter with burning eyes, "What's going on?" ”

Bai Ling stretched out his hand and stroked the hair on his forehead, and said helplessly, "It is also the will of the Queen Mother." ”

Bai Shijun was about to ask, but Wei Shishi had already spoken, "Since it is an edict, Lord Bai should not ask more." ”

"Let's go." Bai Ling didn't want to say more, he had already stepped forward to open the courtyard door, and soon disappeared at the door with Wei Shixi. The cold moonlight shone on the empty courtyard, and Bai Shijun suddenly felt a little cold in spring.

I don't know how much time has passed, Bai Ling has not come back, Bai Yi's rice and egg custard have already been seated, Bai Shijun rarely did not speak, but buried his head in chopsticks.

Bai Yi looked around the yard and didn't see anyone anywhere, so he entered the house and asked, "Where is Bai Ling?" ”

"She's out drinking." Bai Shijun's voice was a little tired, he looked up, and when he saw Bai Yi nodding, he sat back in his seat and waited, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart, "...... It seems that you already knew that your sister had a secret guard by her side? ”

Bai Yi shook his head, "I've heard her mention one or two sentences a few years ago, and it's the first time I've seen her tonight." ”

Bai Shijun's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, and a grain of rice on the head of the chopstick accidentally fell on his body.

He put down the dishes and chopsticks, lowered his head to twist the rice, and somehow suddenly felt uncomfortable.

I don't know which paddy field this grain of rice grew in last year, and which ear of wheat it knew, but now I don't know whose sickle and whose pounding it fell on the hem of my clothes.

Bai Shijun knows that there will be a definite answer to these questions in the final analysis, but except for this grain of rice himself, no one in the world can know.

His son Bai Yi and daughter Bai Ling, why not such a grain of rice?

The child was born into this world in a daze, and he hurriedly watched the little child grow up little by little, and now he suddenly became confused and sad - how did things become the way they are today?

Except for the children themselves, I am afraid that no one in the world knows the whole picture of the ravines in their hearts.

Thinking like this, Bai Shijun had a strong desire to get closer to these two children, he looked up at Bai Yi's side, "You guys ...... at night What did you eat? ”
