Bai Ling sat alone by the well in the yard, and she had finished watering the vegetable patch in the backyard, feeding the chickens, and washing the stone slabs in the front yard as usual.

She stepped barefoot on the stone floor and stared at the small puddle on the ground in a daze—one of the usual habits.

"Boling!" Bai Yi's voice came from outside the courtyard, pulling Bai Ling back from her thoughts, she looked at the door, and her brother really appeared there.

Bai Yi has Danfeng eyes, narrow eyebrows, a nose like a gall, and skin that is whiter than Bai Ling—it is said that it is because he looks like his mother. When I was young, because Bai Yi's appearance was so good-looking, she was often mistaken for a little girl by other families; When he grows up a little, he always deliberately leaves some stubble so as not to provoke some gangsters who have nothing to do when he goes out.

Seeing his brother, Bai Ling quickly jumped down from the well and trotted to Bai Yi's side, "It's only been a month, and you've grown taller again." ”

Bai Yi came over in a hurry, and he was already sweating profusely at this time. Seeing that Bai Ling stayed in the courtyard in a dignified manner, and finally settled down, he felt that his body was a little unsupportable, he bent over and panted with one hand on his knees, and pinched his sister's arm with the other, and his knuckles were a little white because of the exertion.

Bai Ling patted him on the back, "You rest for a while?" I'm going to pour you a glass of water. ”

Bai Yi wiped his sweat, shook his head again and again, "It's okay, don't worry about me, have you put your things away?" ”

Bai Ling shook his head.

Bai Yi straightened up, "Then don't delay, I'll clean up with you, you follow me, we'll go out of the city now-"

Bai Ling: "Where are you going?" ”

Bai Yi: "Go back to my hometown in the countryside first." My father wrote to me that Uncle was still there, and he had already asked someone to report the news, so we could go there first to avoid the limelight. ”

Bai Ling sighed, grabbed Bai Yi, who was about to step into the house, from behind, and said in a low voice, "You wait, you can't go." ”

Bai Yi heard the strangeness in his sister's tone, and sure enough, he stopped, "What?" ”

Bai Ling still said softly, "This time the matter is not to avoid and get by, if something really happens to our father, I'm afraid that before we get to the uncle's house, the person who arrested us over there is already waiting in his hometown." ”

Bai Yi thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said tentatively, "This time...... Is it a matter of the palace? ”

Bai Ling nodded silently.

Bai Yi frowned, hesitated for only a moment, then turned around and closed the wooden door of the courtyard, and then pulled Bai Ling to sit on the old stump by the well, listening to her details.

This is no longer Bai Yi asking him to take his sister away from home to avoid - after all, medical troubles are everywhere, and there will be no exception just because this is ancient times. In the early years, because of his superb medical skills, Bai Shijun was often sought by some officials and ordinary people to see a disease.

As a doctor, it is inevitable to encounter a situation of inability to return to heaven.

If you meet a reasonable person, although you are separated from your relatives and grief, you will also stick to etiquette and righteousness, and politely send the doctor out; But when he encounters unreasonable, he often leaves cruel words on the spot and asks his family to pay for his life together.

Not to mention that Bai Shijun is a court official, just talking about himself, he has some fists and feet on his body, and he is a man in the prime of life, these people will not find him when they are provoking, so they naturally target his children.

As a medical officer, he inevitably has to be on duty in the palace. He was not there, and there were only two brothers and sisters left in the family, and once they were caught in this space, and the brothers and sisters almost died together. Fortunately, the Queen Mother had the grace that night and sent two brocade guards to bring snacks to Bai Ling, almost saving the brother and sister from the knife.

Since then, whenever he encounters a deceased patient, Bai Shijun will ask Bai Yi to take Bai Ling to a strange place to avoid for a while, until the wind calms down and then comes back.

The days of hiding in Tibet since he was a child have passed a lot, and when Bai Yi grew up to the age of twelve, when Bai Shijun wanted to pass on his son's mantle, Bai Yi refused to study medicine with him. prevaricated with his father here, and then went to West Street by himself, and I don't know how to operate, but the chief chef of Baiwei Building, the No. 1 restaurant in Beijing, willingly accepted him as an apprentice, and began his career as a chef.

Since then, Bai Yi has only been home two or three times a month, and he only tells his sister about something. Even though Bai Shijun sighed a lot in his heart, he could only eat the consequences.

At this time, the Bai siblings once again fell into the pit dug by their father. When Bai Ling briefly finished talking about what she had seen and heard in the past month, Bai Yi also fully understood in her heart that this time it was no longer a situation that could be calmed down by going out and hiding.

Bai Yi's eyes were already angry, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, "I really haven't seen such a person!" ”

The corners of Bai Ling's mouth sank slightly, and he sighed.

"I reminded him eight hundred years ago, the errand in the palace is not good!" Bai Yi said as he paced back and forth in the courtyard, "Except for the old court envoy who has a little conscience, the others have long learned the same way as light and dust in the officialdom. If nothing happens, he will be kind, and when something happens, he will be pushed to the front. With the current level of medicine in this era, what can he do with an old Chinese medicine doctor? ”

Bai Ling sat back on the edge of the well, holding the edge of the stone with both hands, and slowly shaking his toes a few times.

Bai Yi's gaze finally turned back and fell on Bai Ling, "You have something to say." ”

Bai Ling just looked up at the sky and sighed, "Don't talk about Daddy, if I didn't know that you also came through, I would definitely recognize you two as biological father and son." ”

Bai Yi glared at his sister with a look of "I believe you are a ghost".

Bai Ling: "Am I wrong?" You are the chief surgeon of heart surgery, and you are worthy of half of my senior brother even if you count our mentorship, but look at what you have done since you arrived here...... Is there one thing that has anything to do with your old business? ”

Bai Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, "So what?" ”

Bai Ling said calmly, "You can hide it from your father, but you can't hide it from me." I know you, you just can't stand the traditional medicine, so you'd rather go to Baiweilou to kill chickens than follow your father to study medicine. ”

Bai Yi sat down, "Two different things. ”

"It's the same thing," Bai Ling stood up this time, walked up to Bai Yi and squatted down, "You have what you insist on, and he also has what he insists on." Everyone has their own limitations, but it was a big concession for Dad to agree to you learning to cook...... You can't bully the ancients with a head of modernity. ”

Bai Yi didn't speak, but his gaze gradually calmed down, and after a while, he looked at his sister, "Do you already have an idea?" ”

Bai Ling nodded, "It's a bit risky, though, and you'll have to help me." ”

"It's all this time, don't worry about these things yet," Bai Yi's back straightened, "Say, what do you want me to do." ”

Bai Ling was silent for a moment, and then spoke word by word, "Enter the palace." ”
