Bai Ling repeatedly confirmed with Wei XIV a few more times.

From, from, without, have, have.

For a moment, she only felt a chill in the back of her neck, and the strange laughter of the old man in the underground corridor echoed in her ears

So who is this person?

Under Wei XIV's questioning, Bai Ling carefully recalled the characteristics of the old man. However, there was no very valid information, and the old man, like all old men, had a gray beard and head, a wrinkled face, and a pair of hands covered with age spots

The only difference is probably that he shows extreme familiarity with the underground world of the Scroll Division, not only is he familiar with the personnel structure in this palace, but he can even casually report the number of high-grade palace people in Jianxi's forty-year palace.

"I asked him how old he was, but he didn't answer me," said Bai Ling, frowning, "and he looked, I'm not sure, at least in his seventies, and possibly older. ”

"What did you all talk about?"

"At first, it was nothing special, he took me downstairs and told me about the things in the showroom wherever I went," Bai Ling recalled, "and then I transferred the files of all the people in the Chengqian Palace, and I looked at the large square table in the corner of the basement, and he also helped me find a lot of candles to light it on." ”

"Did this guy stay there all night?"

"Yes." Bai Ling nodded, "He talked to me all night and didn't go anywhere. ”

Wei Shishi was a little surprised, Bai Ling was good at chatting with people, but Bai Ling was also good at ending a topic tactfully. She wasn't keen on those pleasantries, and besides, she was still checking the file that night, so she could talk all night?

"Later on, it's all very minutiae." Bai Ling thought as hard as he could.

In the course of the structured conversation, Bai Ling could easily jot down how the conversation would jump from topic to topic, but she didn't devote much energy to the conversation with the old man that night.

At that time, the two of them were just talking one after another, and the old man had never touched any sensitive topics from beginning to end.

"He has complained for a long time about the review process of the Archives Division," Bai Ling recalled with some difficulty in a somewhat uncertain tone, "saying that at the beginning of each quarter, each department should first estimate the approximate number of declarations to report, and if the amount of applications is not used up in the current quarter, the number of declarations will be deducted in the next quarter." ”

"Yes, it's really cumbersome." Wei Shixi said softly, "Take the Beizhen Fusi as an example, it is indeed very busy at the end of each season, because if the quota for the current season is not used up, everyone needs to increase their energy and find some cases that can reasonably access the files." In case the number of applications that can be applied for in the next season is not enough, and the other yamen are the same. ”

"Well, he said this too, but I didn't talk much about this paragraph, I was just listening." Bai Ling nodded, "Then he asked me how the wisteria in the palace was blooming, and then asked many other flowers and plants. ”

"Wisteria?"

"Yes, I was a little strange at the time, because this palace is full of wisteria, but if you go out for a walk, you can see it. So I asked him why he didn't go and see for himself. Bai Ling said softly, "It doesn't mean that he has to stay underground all year, right?" ”

Wei Shishi looked at Bai Ling, and this question also rose in his heart.

Bai Ling exhaled lightly, and continued, "He told me that Wisteria must be seen at sunset at dusk on a sunny day, otherwise the beauty of Wisteria will not be revealed, and he has to be on duty underground from late afternoon to early the next morning, so even if he looks at the flowers, it means that he doesn't look at them." ”

"From the afternoon to the early morning of the next day." Wei Shifu frowned slightly, "Maybe I'm lonely, I will confirm this person's identity with the Archives Division as soon as possible." ”

"Okay." Bai Ling looked at him a little helplessly, "You've really been tired during this time. ”

Wei Shixi just shook his head, he looked at Bai Ling with a serious expression, "Also, do you have any other plans to leave the palace in the near future?" If so, let me know in advance, I'll stagger the timing of my solo action, and we'd better not act completely separately. ”

Bai Ling almost immediately heard the meaning of the fourteenth words, "Are you worried that Han Chong will be bad for me?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Shixi said softly, "And I've had some unfamiliar faces in the Imperial Garden recently, and I haven't been there the few times you've been to the Imperial Garden, so I'm not sure if they're coming for you." ”

"Imperial Garden?" Bai Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, "Someone is watching there?" ”

Wei Shixi nodded, his expression was really a little worried, "But I don't have the extra energy to check the origin of these people, so the current suggestion is that during the time when I am often out, it is best for you to stay in the east side hall of the Chengqian Palace all the time, so as not to have any accidents, probably need" Wei Shixi quickly calculated in his heart, "Seven or eight days." ”

"Understood." Bai Ling nodded, "You go get busy first, I'll sort out what I'm going to do during this time, and when you come back in the evening, we'll synchronize." ”

Wei XIV nodded silently, and then quickly disappeared into the east window.

After seeing Fourteen leave, Bai Ling collapsed on the bed alone.

A familiar image suddenly came to her mind.

Is life always so difficult, or is it just childhood?

Always.

She suddenly felt that her life had become a long tug-of-war, and there seemed to be a shadow of danger lurking in every casual detail. She must not let up in the slightest, or else these shadows may erupt and swallow up everything she cherishes.

She just wanted to sigh that she was in the palace and full of shackles, but she thought of the man who had only one side with her, and then she thought of the ragged Ah Li, the fourteen who never showed her weak side, and the night before entering the palace, Bai Yi half-hugged himself on his shoulder, he handed over a bulging money bag, and happily sketched the life that was about to come out.

Bai Ling smiled suddenly.

She is no longer a young and ignorant girl, she will think of her future life as "the years are quiet", in fact, all people are walking tightropes, all people are pushing stones, all of them have to do their best every day, and the next day they have to start again, this kind of patience and resistance to death.

She's not the only one.

Thinking of this, she had the strength to get out of bed again, and at this moment she had at least two things to do, one was to list the next timetable, and the other was to continue compiling handouts for psychology and mindfulness training.

Now that you feel the mountain rain coming, don't panic and hurry up to build a nest.

From the movie, this killer is not too cold.
