Until he returned home, Bai Ling's mood still couldn't be calm.

There was no light at home, Bai Yi and Bai Shijun didn't seem to come back, she entered the house alone, and sure enough, she saw a note left on the table Bai Ling took the note into the yard to look - it seemed that someone was in a hurry to come to the door for treatment, so the father and son went to the clinic at the same time.

She sighed softly, and then groped around in the dark for the fire fold in the house - Bai Yi usually placed it on the corner of the table against the wall, but Bai Ling didn't touch it today.

So in the darkness she went and touched the bowl on the cupboard where the key was placed—there wasn't any.

She withdrew her hand, only to have her sleeve accidentally bring the bowl down, shattering it with a crisp thud.

Bai Ling stopped in the darkness.

In a few moments, a pinch of flame lit up near her, and Wei XIV held his own fire fold in his hand, illuminating the darkness.

By the light, Bai Ling saw that the fire fold she was looking for was placed on the corner of the table, but she didn't know why, but she didn't find it.

She stood there for a moment, then thanked her softly, and lit the candle in the house with a brisk movement.

"Do you want to start practicing short knives lately?" Wei Shixi asked softly, "I see that you bought a dagger on the street a few days ago, but it doesn't seem to be of much use. ”

“…… On a whim, I bought it. Bai Ling scratched his head, "Is it difficult to practice the short knife?" ”

"Difficult. If you don't plan to practice these kung fu, it's best not to carry a blade with you every day, if you really encounter an accident, these things will easily hurt yourself. ”

Bai Ling understood that what Fourteen said was indeed right.

For an ordinary person like her, if she really had to hold a knife against the enemy, she might not have the courage to plunge the dagger into the opponent's body at all. But maybe she wasn't there to kill the enemy or protect herself, every time she woke up in the middle of the night, as long as she held the knife, she wasn't afraid of those ghosts hidden in her heart.

Fourteen held out his hand to Bai Ling, "Take it." ”

Bai Ling sighed, reached into the belt of his waist and pulled it out, and put the dagger he was carrying in the palm of Wei Shixi's hand.

"You're also bold."

Wei XIV whispered, and took Bai Ling's dagger.

"These few times I entered the palace at the invitation of the palace, and I will no longer accept such a detailed examination as before." "So I'll ...... Gave it a try. ”

"Don't do that next time." Wei Shishi's voice became rare and serious, "Sneak into the palace with a blade, once you are discovered, you will not be able to wash it." ”

“…… I understand. Bai Ling nodded in reply.

Wei XIV looked at Bai Ling.

Does this girl really get it?

In fact, when Fang Cai and Heng Yuanjun confronted each other on the palace road, he was very afraid that Bai Ling would suddenly attack, and rushed towards Heng Yuanjun with a dagger.

Although he knew that Bai Ling was not an impulsive person on weekdays, at that moment, Wei Shixi lost his confidence in Bai Ling's reaction, so he was always on the sidelines ready to make a move—not to prevent the sick Heng Yuanjun, but for Bai Ling.

Because Bai Ling during this period of time is indeed not quite the same as before.

"Sorry for worrying you." Bai Ling looked away, his expression a little weak, "I promise you, I won't take this risk again in the future." ”

Wei XIV looked at her noncommittally.

After a moment of silence, Bai Ling heard Wei XIV sigh a little helplessly. Then, he also took out a smaller short knife from his back waist and put it in front of Bai Ling's eyes.

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment.

She took the dagger that Fourteen had handed her—the scabbard of this dagger was made of hard leather and had no carvings.

The knife was drawn out of the sheath, and the blade of the dagger was pitch black and thin.

This is a half-toothed dagger, the front part is flat-edged, suitable for push-cutting, and the rear half has a toothed blade, which is suitable for pull-sawing.

The grip of the dagger was also held in soft leather, which was not as cold to the touch as the previous one, and the metal surface at the very end was bare, engraved with a small "Wei".

"Let's change this one." Wei Shishi said softly, "You can use it when you go out or at home, but you must not bring it into the palace." ”

Bai Ling looked up at him with some surprise.

Wei Shixi said softly, "Anyway, even if I accept your knife, I can't stop you from buying it again, right?" But the daggers you can buy on the street are of poor quality, so I might as well get you a better one. ”

Bai Ling lowered her head and laughed, she was a little ashamed to cover her forehead with her arm, and for a while she was embarrassed to look up at Wei Shixi's eyes.

"Thank you......"

"You're welcome." Wei XIV said in a low voice, "But you have to remember what you promised me tonight. ”

Bai Ling frowned slightly, and after a long time, he really responded, "Okay." ”

……

This night, before Bai Yi and Bai Shijun came back, Bai Ling began to take care of the housework again - housework is like this, obviously doing the same thing every day, but it seems that it can never be done. There are always details of this kind and that tell you in life, and you still need to polish it here until you decide to do it to this extent.

Whenever Bai Ling felt that everything was about the same, she would start to wash the yard with water, which almost became a ritual to put the finishing touches on the housework.

This habit was left by Bai Yi, and he didn't seem to be able to tolerate all dust and hair.

When he was at home, he had to wash the floor in the yard almost every day, and wipe the edges and corners of the tables and cabinets...... So in the past, when he was learning to cook in Baiwei Building, Bai Ling would count the day he would come back and start cleaning the house and courtyard a day earlier.

In this way, when Bai Yi came back, the cleanliness of the house had almost just scratched his qualified bottom line - but he still had to do it himself and clean up the whole house again.

It was almost time, and the footsteps of Bai Shijun and Bai Yi finally came outside.

Before they could knock, Bai Ling had already run to the door and removed the latch.

As soon as the door opened, Bai Ling's sentence "You are back" had not yet been shouted, and he was stunned - outside the door stood the family members of the patients who specially sent the two back, and by the light of the lantern in the man's hand, Bai Ling saw that Bai Yi and Bai Shijun's clothes were stained with blood.

"I'm so tired!"

Bai Yi strode inside, and Bai Shijun said goodbye to the patient's family outside, and he said many comforting words, so that the middle-aged man with the lantern couldn't stop wiping away tears.

By the time the courtyard door of the Bai family was closed again, Bai Yi had already changed his clothes and went to the kitchen to boil water and prepare for a simple shower.

Bai Ling also chased to the kitchen, and saw Bai Yi skillfully adding firewood under the stove.

"What are you going to do tonight?" Bai Ling asked with some concern, "Why is there so much blood on his body?" ”

"Don't be afraid, it's the south of the city that there are homeless people making trouble tonight, so there are a few hurtful incidents...... I feel that it is better to go out less at night recently," Bai Yi frowned and said, speaking of which, he suddenly looked up at Bai Ling and said with a smile, "I cooperated with my father tonight to stitch up the four of them." ”
