It was late at night, and most of the people in the camp returned to their tents to rest.

Soldiers held torches at important intersections, and the firelight reflected the entire camp in orange-red.

Fuchen walked out of the tent with Yikang in his arms.

For a moment, Yikang held his breath.

Not far away, she saw Bai Yi and Bai Ling, two siblings chatting on an abandoned log.

"Wait." Yikang shouted to the dust, "We...... We'll stop here for a moment. ”

Fuchen nodded, and also followed the gaze of the county lord of Yikang.

Not far away, Bai Yi was reaching out and gesturing, not knowing what he was saying to Bai Ling.

The conversation and laughter between the two barely stopped.

All she could see was Bai Ling's back—the girl was as thin and petite as she had expected.

That's Bai Yi's sister.

It seems to be his very proud sister.

Thinking about the scene outside the camp, Yikang frowned slightly puzzled—Bai Ling's posture of standing and walking was obviously no different from that of ordinary people.

She ...... There is absolutely no kung fu.

But where did that momentum like a tiger and wolf come from?

The firelight reflected Bai Yi, rendering his face so gently.

Yikang looked at it, his expression a little abrupt. Bai Yi's smile at this moment became familiar to her again.

That's not what she's seen these days, the cold, fierce, and merciless Dr. Bai.

He changed back to the young man he had seen when he first met, standing in the lights on the shore of Jian'an Lake.

Looking at this scene, Yikang suddenly had a sour nose.

Perhaps, this is family......

It's good to have an older brother like Bai Yi.

"Dust!" The voice of the county lord of Yining came from the inside of the small tent, "What are you still doing outside?" ”

Fuchen lowered his head and asked softly, "County Lord?" ”

"Let's go." Yikang sniffed, and she muttered under her breath, "I just think ...... The moon is beautiful tonight. ”

Fuchen didn't dismantle it, but just walked into the new camp with Yikang bowed his head.

On this night, the two county lords of Yining and Yikang tossed and turned.

Yining was because the smell of this camp was really bad, but because she was in a hurry, she didn't prepare incense, so she could only endure it with a little irritability.

Yikang, on the other hand, has been thinking about what happened tonight.

She didn't have time to care about the pain on her body, and all that echoed in her mind was the words that Bai Yi said to her tonight.

For example, the sentence - "Thirteen years old is also very young." ”

For example, "The task of a child is to grow up peacefully." ”

Being cared for like a child, sometimes ...... It feels good.

Yikang wrapped the quilt tightly, and she buried her face in the pillow with some shame.

Obviously, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, but a sadness that he had never felt before suddenly spread in his heart.

Yikang didn't understand this mood, but felt that it was so vast, like a cloud shadow of light and dark slowly passing through a silent mountain forest.

This secret anxiety and anticipation was like a soft ball of cotton, and her whole body was wrapped, dangling, suspended in mid-air.

In the darkness, she opened her lips and teeth softly, and silently pronounced a name.

First there is a slight plosive, then the tip of the tongue is pressed against the teeth of the lower jaw, and the air is gently aspirated.

Clean and clean, without a bit of dragging.

This feeling is like carefully putting down a lone lamp in the dark river.

……

In the second half of the night, Bai Shijun finally came to the camp in the south of the city, and Bai Ling had already gone to prepare the things to be used during the day tomorrow, leaving Bai Yi waiting at the door.

It was Sun Beiji who specially sent someone to pick up Bai Shijun.

The reason is also very simple - if Bai Ling can't come up with a feasible solution tomorrow, then let the father and daughter see each other for the last time tonight.

The carriage of the Sun family came slowly, and Bai Yi saw it from afar, so he stepped forward to greet him.

The carriage came to a steady stop at the gate of the camp.

Bai Yi shouted "Dad", the curtain of the carriage was lifted by the groom, Bai Shijun held Bai Yi's hand and got out of the carriage carefully.

Maybe it's the lights, or maybe it's because of the lack of sleep tonight, Bai Yi suddenly felt that Bai Shijun was old.

Bai Shijun's white hair on his temples became obvious, and his eyes were slightly red, revealing the tiredness of old age.

This glance made Bai Yi feel a little distressed.

However, Bai Ling had already arranged a special camp for them, and Bai Yi couldn't wait to take his father to rest.

However, when Bai Shijun stepped into the empty tent, he looked around, "What about Bai Ling?" ”

"She'll be busy in the middle of the night." Bai Yi replied as he shook off the blanket on the bed, "You go to sleep first." ”

Bai Shijun didn't make a sound, just walked to the chair on the side and sat down alone.

Bai Yi turned around, "Dad, come here, what are you doing sitting there, rest early." ”

“…… I'll wait. Bai Shijun half-lowered his eyes, "Wait." ”

"Wait for Bai Ling?"

"Hmm." Bai Shijun nodded, "When your sister comes back, I have something to tell you." ”

Bai Yi sighed softly.

He walked up to his father and half-crouched down, "You better sleep first, if there is anything we have to say tomorrow, or you can tell me first, I'll be here to watch, and Bai Ling will come back in a while-"

Bai Shijun shook his head, he looked at Bai Yi, and said word by word, "What I want to talk about is a very important matter." All the details, paraphrased are paraphrased unclear...... I'll wait for your sister to come back, and I'll talk about it together. ”

Bai Yi was a little concerned, "...... What's the matter? ”

Bai Shijun stopped talking.

Bai Yi knows Bai Shijun's temper, he is very stubborn at some moments, for example, when it comes to subsidizing money for treating people, Bai Yi's quarrel has not changed Bai Shijun's heart.

Bai Yi thought about it and decided to go out to boil water and come back to make a pot of tea.

However, when he came back, the stubborn Bai Shijun had already fallen asleep on the chair.

The old father not only fell asleep, but also snored from time to time.

Bai Yi carried the hot water, looked at his father helplessly, and brought the blanket on the bed over to put it on Bai Shijun.

A plain cloth and a silver nameplate fell from Bai Shijun's sleeve.

Bai Yi leaned over to pick it up.

Supazi looked a few years old, and it was covered with ink stains, as if the handwritten words had been blurred by water, and no handwriting was recognizable.

Bai Yi looked at the nameplate again—it had a magnolia engraved on the back, and the front was ......

The front is covered in scratches.

Bai Yi frowned, and he leaned over to the candle flame with the nameplate, trying to carefully identify the remaining words on it.

However, there is no way, the person who drew this nameplate at the beginning probably did not think about letting future generations identify the handwriting on it.

Bai Yi lowered his hand slightly, turned around and stuffed these two things back into Bai Shijun's arms.

Under the dancing candlelight, Bai Yi sat alone on the edge of the bed opposite his father, looking at Bai Shijun's haggard face, he suddenly had some guesses.
