Chapter 23 Knocking on the door in the middle of the night
"I came in a hurry, so I didn't bring any paste. Let's go see who's eating noodle soup and use it as paste."
Niu Er was a wise man. He took Lin Bai and broke into six houses, but he didn't see anyone eating noodle soup.
"They are all poor! They can't even afford noodles and soup!"
After Niu Er finished cursing, he took Lin Bai with him, mixed some rainwater with some mud, and pasted the notice on the wall.
The words above are all spent!
When it comes to dealing with errands, Lin Bai thinks he can't catch up with Niu Er even if he is a flatterer.
Saying goodbye to Niu Er, Lin Bai went home again.
Passing by Mu Zhen's bun shop, I saw that the door was closed and there was no light inside, so it was probably time for a rest.
Now that Ren Biao is dead, the Qinglong Gang is leaderless. Although the county magistrate has given some advice, after all, they have to pursue the flying knife assassin, and no one cares about Mu Zhen anymore.
Lin Bai originally thought that Mu Zhen would be overjoyed. To celebrate, he prepared wine and food, invited himself to have a night talk, and talked about life-long events...
"I was thinking about having a good meal tonight!"
"It's not because she did something stupid, right?" When Lin Bai saw no one around, he climbed over the wall and looked inside, only to see Sister Zhen doing needlework and humming a song.
"It's okay." Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it would be better to come back tomorrow to say something to Sister Zhen, and then wait for the limelight to pass before talking about big things.
You definitely need to sleep, but you can’t do it too quickly, you need to think about it for a while.
When I got home, the cicadas chirping on the jujube trees were very noisy. After washing the dirty clothes and taking a shower, Lin Bai went back to the house to meditate.
Close your eyes and empty your mind, and appear on the stone plate.
The dense fog around him returned to normal, and the wisp of purple disappeared without a trace, only the fog seemed to be a little thinner.
"That wisp of purple appeared after sleeping with Sister Zhen...Does it mean that it will be like this every time I sleep with her? Or does it only appear once when it's someone else?"
"Just why did the fog become a little thinner after the purple wisp dissipated? Is it because I spent a lot of energy? Or maybe after sleeping once, the fog became less..."
"Or has it prevented some kind of disaster for me? Purple is a symbol of the source of disaster?"
"Then...the source of the purple color can only be Sister Zhen. What is she going to do? She has been selling steamed buns for several years. She knows the ins and outs, and she just wants to live with me all day long...How is that possible?"
"This kind of thing is easy to verify. Go to sleep with her another day and see if the purple color appears again. However, it is better not to sleep first and then observe."
"If she has ulterior motives, I have already slept with her, so it is not a loss. If my guess is wrong, then I am not a loss, because I married her home."
"There are too many secrets in the stone plate. To what extent do you need to cultivate to fully understand the subtle uses of the stone plate? Or is this stone plate some kind of fairy magic weapon?"
"But...are there immortals? Or are they hidden in unknown places?"
Lin Bai thought about it for a long time, but no one could ask him. In the end, he became more and more certain about one thing: the only way to strengthen yourself is to practice Wuji Kung diligently.
Wuji Gong has undergone great changes after breaking through the third level. The inner power of the Dantian is divided into two parts, which are both masculine and powerful, and feminine and soft.
The two seem to be incompatible with each other, but the yin and yang complement each other and are continuous. This is also the secret of Wuji Gong.
One night passed by in a hurry, and when Lin Bai opened his eyes, he felt hungry in his belly.
When you are in the stone plate space, you will not feel hungry or thirsty no matter how long it takes, but once you return to reality, you will still be hungry when you should.
After washing, Lin Bai went out listening to the chirping of cicadas.
When they came out of the alley, they saw that Mu Zhen's steamed bun shop had opened its doors. She was busy and had a smile on her face.
At this time, Mu Zhen had already seen Lin Bai and waved to him quickly.
"Here, let's eat on the way." Mu Zhen handed over the oil paper bag, her eyes seemed a bit shy.
Lin Bai took it, nodded and left. After walking forward for a while, he looked back at Mu Zhen.
There is nothing wrong with it for a long time.
"I hope I'm worrying too much." Lin Bai walked towards Baicao Hall.
People everywhere on the road were talking about knife-throwing assassins, and Lin Bai also listened to them intentionally or unintentionally.
Some people say that since they took advantage of the birthday banquet, there must be a deep hatred; some people say that Tian Daxia passed by here and wiped out the evildoers; and some people are even more outrageous, saying that the Taoist ancestor took pity on all living beings and lowered a flying knife from the sky, killing Ren Biao's head. And go.
When they came to the hospital, they divided the buns with Xiuxiu. Dr. Bai asked Lin Bai to sit in for a consultation, and he only watched from the sidelines. Lin Bai was so happy that he naturally tried his best.
If you want to improve your medical skills quickly, you must see patients every day.
After a busy day, Lin Bai returned home and Mu Zhen's bun shop was closed.
The lights were on, but Lin Bai went home without knocking. In the middle of the night, Lin Bai went out to Sister Zhen's house to listen to the cicadas chirping.
Although they were separated by a wall, Lin Bai's ears were outstanding and he could only hear the slightest breathing sound, which was nothing unusual.
In the next few days, Lin Bai stayed honest and stopped causing trouble. He sat in the clinic during the day and practiced Wuji Kung at home at night.
The county government and the Qinglong Gang are still inquiring about the whereabouts of the knife-throwing assassin "Tian Shuliang", causing chaos in Huaxi County.
Lin Bai was not familiar with Tian Shuliang, so he naturally ignored him.
In the past few days, Lin Bai was not in a hurry to sleep with Mu Zhen. Instead, he shamelessly asked for steamed buns every day without mentioning the important events of his life.
Within three days, Mu Zhen's face turned cold, she stopped feeding Lin Bai the colorful buns, and her eyes became even more resentful.
"No matter how you look at it, Sister Zhen is normal... I am overthinking it."
That morning, Lin Bai went out despite the chirping of cicadas, but was still made uncomfortable by Mu Zhen's resentful gaze.
After arriving at the medical clinic, he had a busy day and was about to leave. Doctor Bai called Lin Bai to stop him.
"The hospital will be closed tomorrow. You've been tired these days, so take a good rest at home." Doctor Bai stroked his beard and smiled, then looked at Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu reluctantly took out her money bag, touched it with a straight face for a long time, and drained out a small piece of silver.
Then he bit his lower lip, as if he wanted to kill her, and handed the money over, "Here... don't throw it away. If you don't know how to spend it, just save it to get a wife. If you are afraid of thieves, just leave it here." . Don’t spend it indiscriminately. Don’t spend it indiscriminately.”
Lin Bai took the money, which was already warm, and asked with a smile: "Doctor Bai, do you have anything tomorrow? I can do it for you."
"Tomorrow is the birth of Mother Xiuxiu." Doctor Bai smiled kindly and rubbed Xiuxiu's head with his wrinkled hands.
Xiuxiu pulled Dr. Bai's sleeve, without much expression on her face. She just stared at Lin Bai's hand, where the money she gave was hidden.
Lin Bai said nothing more and said goodbye.
Mu Zhen's bun shop has been closed, and a subtle yellow light can be seen from the backyard window, as if waiting for the return of her beloved.
After returning home, Lin Bai felt a little confused and couldn't calm down.
"It's been a few days, and I haven't found anything wrong with Sister Zhen. It's not appropriate to hang her up anymore, and it's irresponsible to sleep with her. Is she still a man? I'm just worrying too much. It's time to marry someone else."
Every day he is either in a medical clinic or in Wuji Gong. As a young man, Lin Bai felt extremely itchy.
"Young people should be wary of sex. I am also practicing martial arts. How can I indulge in female sex?"
"I want to reach the top of martial arts, and even seek immortality. I have great ambitions, how can I be misled by women?"
Lin Bai stood up and went out, ready to challenge his weakness.
It was late at night and there were no pedestrians on the street.
Lin Bai carefully touched the back door of Mu Zhen's house and knocked gently.
Soon, the sound of footsteps came.
"Who?"
"Me."
When the door opened, Mu Zhen looked dimly and said nothing.
Lin Bai said: "Sister Zhen, my house is leaking and I can't sleep with anyone. Can you come to your house to stay overnight?"
Mu Zhen looked up at the stars in the sky and said, "I only have one bed in my house, as long as you don't mind it being crowded."
