Zhou Ying'er had just gotten up, and she could see Bai Yilan practicing in the yard even better, and from her eyes as a "layman", she could also see that Bai Yilan's swordsmanship today was sharper than what she saw before. And watching the sword and catkins dance together, he looked like a "fairy" descending to earth......

Glancing at Bai Yilan's face full of joy again, he said, "Brother Bai, what is so happy this morning?"

Bai Yilan also happened to receive, and stuck the branch in the soil under the tree, very happy, "It's nothing, I just feel that the left hand is more flexible than the right hand." Then he played a sword flower out of his empty hand, and returned to the house with a slight understanding.

Zhou Ying'er also hurriedly ran in and asked, "Seeing that you are so happy, you must have had a good dream last night, right?"

"A good dream? ”

"Huh?" Zhou Ying'er scratched her head and found a chair to sit down, "What do you mean by counting, and it doesn't count?"

Bai Yilan took a deep breath, closed her eyes and carefully recalled what she dreamed of last night, before turning her head and explaining: "I dreamed of my family, grandpa, parents, and younger brother ............"

Zhou Ying'er had heard Bai Yilan say that his family was all gone, so she could probably understand Bai Yilan's emotions at this time, so she couldn't say anything more, so she vaguely confused for a while and stopped talking.

But this atmosphere didn't last long, and after a while, Zhou Da came in and called the two to dinner.

At the dinner table, there should have been no words all the way, but Zhou Da, the most serious of the three people today, opened his mouth to chat: "Uh...... Yilan, this injury is almost healed, do you have any plans for the future?"

Bai Yilan didn't think much about it, so she said truthfully: "Hmm...... Uncle Zhou, you should have heard Ying'er say that my family members were all killed by enemies, and in the process of my escape, I heard that they also burned my house. But anyway, I'll have to go back and see. ”

"I don't know where your house is?"

"Cangzhou. ”

"Cangzhou! so far?"

Bai Yilan smiled slightly wryly, recalling that when she asked Zhang Qingzhuo and his group around, begging along the street, hurrying day and night, and finally found out that they were going back to the capital, or with the help of a kind horse gang, Bai Yilan arrived in the capital one step ahead of them, and gave him a sword in vain......

Zhou Da asked again, "What about after that?"

"After that...... I haven't thought about it yet. ”

"Haven't you thought about it?" Zhou Da slapped the table and stood up, a little emotional.

Bai Yilan felt inexplicable, but fortunately, Zhou Ying'er hurriedly stopped Zhou Da, "Dad, what are you doing here." ”

Zhou Da was comforted and sat down, glanced at Bai Yilan who was dazed, and as soon as he got angry, he threw the chopsticks in his hand on the table, hugged his hands in front of his chest, and said to Bai Yilan in a questioning tone: "Tell me about you, you young man, you finally survived from the ghost gate again, and you don't have any life plan?"

Bai Yilan shook her head suspiciously.

"If you don't have any plans, how can I trust my daughter to you?"

When Bai Yilan heard this, she hurriedly got up, waiting for their father and daughter with big eyes, "No...... No, I don't seem to understand, Ying'er, this ......"

Zhou Ying'er's face turned red, and she directly blocked Zhou Da's mouth, and explained while blocking it: "No, my father didn't mean that, he just said that he wanted me to go out of the village with you." ”

"Do you want to go out of the village together?"

Zhou Ying'er nodded slightly and said, "These days, I heard you talk about the outside world, and I also want to see ......"

"This is a good thing!" Bai Yilan also looked very happy, but glanced at Zhou Da who was cold-eyed, and began to understand what Zhou Da said just now.

So he turned to Zhou Da and said, "Uncle Zhou, this is a good thing, Ying'er is still young, she should go and see the broader world." ”

"I know that, but ......"

"It's nothing, if you want to say that you can rest assured in terms of safety, I will let her stay by my side when I walk the rivers and lakes in the future, and I will protect her. Even if I die, she'll be alive. ”

Zhou Da smiled in his heart when he heard this, he put on a forced attitude before just to get Bai Yilan a promise, only in this way could he rest assured that his daughter would follow him. Now that the goal has been achieved, Zhou Da's tone naturally softened, "Since this is the case, then you have to remember what you said." ”

"Of course. ”

Zhou Ying'er saw that the matter was settled, and she was a little carried away with joy, and directly ignored Bai Yilan's arm, Bai Yilan was happy with her, but after this scene, she saw Zhou Da's face sink again. Bai Yilan broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly pretended to be in unbearable pain, pointing to his right hand that was being held and called: "Ouch, hand ......"

When Zhou Ying'er saw that she was holding her right hand, she really thought that she had pressed the wound, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly let go of her hand, and Bai Yilan had to smile awkwardly at Zhou Da......

After this matter was finalized, Zhou Ying'er stared at Bai Yilan every day, for fear that he would leave him and run away, and Bai Yilan didn't look like he was in a hurry to get out of the village. I feel inexplicable, but looking at his seriousness, it's always hard to bother.

Finally, three days later, Bai Yilan walked out of the room with a drawing on her face, and happened to be bumped into by Zhou Ying'er, and Zhou Ying'er finally found a chance to ask him: "Brother Bai, what have you been doing in the house these days?"

Bai Yilan proudly unfolded the drawing, and there was an ordinary iron sword painted on it, no different from the iron sword worn by the soldiers in the barracks, but Zhou Ying'er had never seen it, so she asked, "What are you drawing?"

"Weapons. ”

"Weapons, they're not the same as bandits' knives. ”

Bai Yilan was in a very good mood, and he taught how to build a sword when he was in Wanjian Villa, but at that time, Bai Yilan looked at the inexhaustible swords in the villa and disdained this knowledge. Now he has figured out all the essentials of sword making by himself, and he has also marked all the precautions on the drawings one by one, and he has a great sense of accomplishment in his heart. So he confidently explained, "It's called a sword." ”

"Is that the sword in the swordsmanship you said?"

Bai Yilan nodded. But it still didn't satisfy Zhou Ying'er's curiosity, "Then you spent so long just to paint this?"

"What I practice is swordsmanship, but I must have a sword, otherwise I will use someone's 'spear head' as a sword in the barracks last time. So I asked Blacksmith Feng to help build one, but he said he had never seen anything like this before, so I had to send him the drawings. ”

Then walked out of the yard briskly, and Zhou Ying'er hurriedly followed. The two walked to Feng Blacksmith's blacksmith shop one after the other, Bai Yilan handed the drawings to Feng Blacksmith and said, "Well, that's it, I've marked the key building plans in the drawings, if there's anything wrong, just ask now." ”

Blacksmith Feng turned out the drawings, studied them carefully, his eyes lit up, and he sighed a little: "After so many years of iron, I have never seen such a delicate weapon, which is lighter and smaller than the steel knife of the bandits, but it is longer than the ordinary short knife......"

Seeing that Blacksmith Feng was talking to himself and was fascinated, Bai Yilan shook his hand between the drawings and his eyes, waking him up, "Can this be done?"

"I can do it, but I ...... You've arranged it so carefully, might as well be as handy as you come by yourself?"

And Bai Yilan pushed the drawings back, shook his head and said, "I learned this all on paper, and I really can't do this iron......

The two looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing more.

Bai Yilan pulled Zhou Ying'er to trot all the way on the road, and also knew that Zhou Ying'er had been wondering when to leave the village in the past few days, so she said: "Now the last thing is done, as long as Grandpa Feng builds the sword, let's go out of the village." ”

Zhou Ying'er was naturally happy, but suddenly there was a whim: "Is the outside world very dangerous? ”

"It's not dangerous, the reason for making a sword is that the sword is a swordsman's face, so let's walk the rivers and lakes in the future. ”

"Really, should I have one, too?"

"Okay, okay, don't think about it" Bai Yilan patted Zhou Ying'er on the shoulder, not knowing how to explain it, "Let's go back to eat first." Then we will discuss our future arrangements. ”

Zhou Ying'er had to go home obediently. At the dinner table, they began to discuss future plans, and Bai Yilan insisted that he must go back to Cangzhou Wanjian Mountain. However, Zhou Da thought that this was too dangerous, and Bai Yilan would die in the face of Zhang Qingzhuo, so he didn't want Zhou Ying'er to encounter such danger again, so he advocated taking this opportunity to travel to Jiangnan.

But Bai Yilan said that she would not compromise anything, "In the past few days, in my dreams every night, my family is calling me home, so no matter what, I have to go back and see, even if there is nothing, then at least I can die......"

Zhou Da resolutely objected: "As far as you said about Zhang Shizhuo, he almost killed you, if you go back and they find out that you are not dead, then you will take Ying'er with you in the future and avoid chasing and killing everywhere?"

"The situation shouldn't be that serious, right?" In the gap between the two arguing, Zhou Ying'er's submissive voice came.

Bai Yilan didn't want to go on like this endlessly, "I said that I would protect Ying'er, and Ying'er was willing to go with me, but I must go back to Cangzhou, even if I promise you now, I will still regret it when I leave the village......"

Zhou Da was speechless for a while, but he really didn't want his daughter to go out, and as a result, he saw a world full of hatred and murderous intent. So he weighed it again and again and decided not to let Ying'er go with Bai Yilan.

Bai Yilan couldn't make Zhou Ying'er's decision, so there was nothing to worry about. He originally thought that Zhou Ying'er would cry and make a fuss, but in the next many days, she was even more well-behaved than before.

Until the night when Bai Yilan got the sword, Bai Yilan, who had planned to leave early the next morning, was arrested by Zhou Ying'er in the middle of the night and pulled out of the village indiscriminately......
