Chapter 15 Flying Knife
"Second Master! I have kidney deficiency."
Lin Bai clenched his fists and mustered up his courage.
"What?" Niu Er's face trembled with surprise.
"Second Master, do you think I want to learn medicine?" Lin Bai risked his life. "If I hadn't been sick and didn't dare to tell others, would I have learned that bird's medical skill every day? I don't want to treat others, I just want to Self-medication! ”
"..." Niu Er looked at Lin Bai with deep eyes, and Fang couldn't help laughing: "How old are you? Why are you so weak?"
"I was seriously ill a while ago..." Lin Bai didn't want to explain too much, he just blamed it on the illness.
"I didn't expect you to be fair and fair on the inside, but you are useless on the inside." Niu Er sighed, as if he had lost hundreds of taels of silver. "It's no wonder you are unlucky. You are already waiting for great wealth!"< br>
Extremely rich? Even if I serve a few ladies, how much money will I get? Is the empress coming to court? Isn’t it possible that the surname is Wu?
"Second Master!" Lin Bai grabbed Niu Er who was about to leave and whispered: "Second Master, please don't tell anyone about this matter, otherwise it will be difficult for me to get a wife in the future."
"Am I the kind of person who doesn't speak strictly?" Niu Er responded casually, never looking at Lin Bai again.
Lin Bai went home and continued his hard training.
I went to the market the next day and found that the Linbai County Government and the Qinglong Gang no longer pursued Pei Wuyou's affairs.
However, many people looked at him in a much weird way.
Even Brother Yun, who sells crisp pears, stopped coming to talk to me about the story about Wang Zong's death. He even gave me a crisp pear as a gift without asking for money.
Facts have proven that people who are strict-mouthed never say they are strict-mouthed.
Lin Bai only felt that he had more debts than he had to worry about. Previously, it was said that he could spin the wheel, but now it was said that he was ill...
Anyway, the reviews were not good.
"When I get through this period and my strength improves, I won't go back to the sad place of Huaxi County."
Lin Bai didn't wait for the end of the morning market, so he went home early.
After noon, there was a knock on the door, it was Mu Zhen.
She brought another hot bun and a paper bag...
"This is a wolfberry. You can soak it in water and drink it." Mu Zhen said with a slightly disappointed tone, "The buns are stuffed with leeks. I bought them specially from the wild leeks."
Lin Bai could understand her state of mind. She only wanted to live a life with him, and she must have fantasized about the power of the wheel. But now...
"Don't think too much. If you are sick, treat it. You are still young, are you still worried that it cannot be cured?" Mu Zhen didn't know whether she was comforting Lin Bai or herself.
"Sister Zhen, those are all rumors. I'm actually not sick..." Lin Bai couldn't pretend to be sick in front of a woman.
"Look at you, you are so stubborn. Take good care of your health. If you are short of money to buy medicine, come to see me." After Mu Zhen finished speaking, she walked away without waiting for Lin Bai to say anything else.
Lin Bai felt Mu Zhen's warmth, and thought to himself that this could be considered as never leaving, right?
For the next five days, Lin Bai stopped going to the stall. Anyway, he had already thought of the reason: he couldn't stand the gossip and was afraid of being watched.
After another five days of hard training, Wuji Kung Fu has not yet reached the third level, but it has made progress again.
That evening, half of the sky was red with flames and clouds.
Lin Bai put on a wide-brimmed bamboo hat and went out for a walk.
I'm not sure if Elder Tong is playing the trick of loosening the outside and tightening the inside, or if he has other plans. Anyway, he is out wandering around.
Peace has returned to the north city of Huaxi County, and Elder Tong seems to have really left.
The Qinglong Gang freed up their hands to occupy the property left by the Ax Gang, and the price of the secret door increased from 30 cash to 50 cash. This was the Qinglong Gang taking a commission, one after another for prostitution.
“Middlemen are disgusting!”
Lin Bai cursed in his heart and walked towards the west city.
This place was only slightly better than Beicheng. Lin Bai saw a blacksmith shop from a distance.
There were iron pots, knives and spatulas hanging on the side of the shop, as well as inferior swords.
Lin Bai didn't step forward, and only observed from a distance.
After a quarter of an hour, after confirming that there was nothing abnormal, Lin Bai stepped forward.
It was getting late now, and there were no lights on in the blacksmith shop, only the charcoal fire was glowing red.
The blacksmith is a man in his forties, and there is a boy who is sixteen or seventeen years old. The two look similar. They are either father and son, or uncle and nephew.
"Store." Lin Bai pulled on his bamboo hat and his voice was extremely thick.
"Sir, what do you want to prepare? I can make pots, shovels and hoes." The middle-aged blacksmith was shirtless and his face was full of vicissitudes of life.
"Knife." The flying knife in Lin Bai's sleeve fell into his hand, and he held it out upside down.
"What do you call your guest?" the blacksmith asked casually while observing the flying knife.
"Tian Shuliang." Lin Bai said. "Uncle Tian, this is not a dagger but a flying knife, right?"
He was indeed an old blacksmith. As soon as he held it, he knew that the tip of the knife was heavy and the handle was light. It must be a flying knife.
"Five handfuls, how much is it?" Lin Bai's voice was rough and without any emotion.
"The blood tank is more troublesome, a knife is two taels of silver." The blacksmith observed the flying knife for a while, returned it to Lin Bai, and then quoted the price.
Lin Bai held on to the bamboo hat, paying attention to passers-by, and lamented the high price.
"How long will it take for it to heal?" Lin Bai asked again.
The blacksmith thought for a while and said: "If you are in a hurry, sir, I can finish it by this time tomorrow, but..."
This is an opportunity to raise prices.
"Here's the deposit. I'll pick it up tomorrow night." Lin Bai threw out five taels of silver and turned to leave.
After making several turns along the way, Lin Bai made sure that no one was following him, and then he returned home.
Another night of hard work, Lin Bai did not go to pick up the knife as promised.
Three days later, Lin Bai went out again in the evening.
Putting on a wide-brimmed bamboo hat and walking around a few times, Lin Bai came to the blacksmith shop again.
From a distance, Lin Bai quietly observed the passers-by.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Bai circled around again and continued to observe and defend.
After confirming that it was correct, Lin Bai didn't have the terrible feeling in his heart that he met the man in Tsing Yi that day, and then Lin Bai stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, you are here!" The middle-aged blacksmith saw Lin Bai's familiar wide-brimmed bamboo hat and immediately recognized it.
Lin Bai looked at the blacksmith and saw no abnormality in his expression, so he nodded.
Handing out six taels of silver, the blacksmith didn't even weigh it. He just weighed it and burst into laughter. He quickly called to his junior and took out the five flying knives he had prepared.
Lin Bai took it in his hand, didn't look at it carefully, hid it in his arms, turned around and left.
"Uncle Tian will come again next time!" The blacksmith was very happy to see Lin Bai pay the money quickly.
Lin Bai ignored him, pulled up his bamboo hat again, looked around, and walked into the alley.
"Uncle, are you prostitute?" After walking a few steps, an old woman in her fifties blocked the way.
"..." Lin Bai looked at her and remembered the old bustard Niu Er had said about him, and he broke into a cold sweat unconsciously.
"Uncle, don't think I'm old. I'm a solicitor. The girls are all very young!" The old woman was holding a handkerchief and wearing flowers on her hair. She was really coquettish.
Lin Bai ignored it and continued walking into the alley.
After visiting a few more secret doors, pretending to be an old prostitute, and lamenting the high price, he limped back home.
We were cautious along the way, always leaning on our feet to observe our surroundings, and we didn't return home until the sky was filled with stars.
He closed the door bolt and listened quietly for a while. There was nothing unusual outside.
"Am I really outsmarting the air?"
Lin Bai was speechless. After thinking about it, it was normal. No matter how well Elder Tong mobilized the black and white forces, he still couldn't make Huaxi County watertight.
Unless it's a god... Are there gods in this world?
Lin Bai suddenly realized that he had been burying his head in Huaxi County, only focusing on improving his strength and never looking up to higher places.
There are many legends about immortals and gods in this world, and they occasionally appear to enlighten the world, but no one around them has ever seen them with their own eyes.
"Is my stone plate some kind of artifact?"
Lin Bai was in a daze for a while and gained nothing, so he could only continue to practice Wuji Kung Fu.
Early the next morning, Lin Bai had just washed his face when he heard a knock on the door.
The knock on the door was very soft. Lin Bai knew who it was through the door, but he just didn't expect...
"What are you doing?" Lin Bai opened the door with a straight face.
Zhong Xiuxiu was still a ball-headed girl, carrying a medicine basket on her back, raising her head, with big dark eyes, and asked: "Are you going to collect medicine?"
Do you think I'm a herbal picker?
Lin Bai pondered and hesitated, fearing that he would meet the elder Tong again.
"Are you going? I won't call you stupid this time."
Zhong Xiuxiu twisted her little hands together, her big eyes filled with both expectation and fear.
