Chapter 25 Peace and Joy
The next morning, I took a look at myself in the mirror.
"I was hurt by wine...and women, and I turned out to be so haggard."
Lin Bai looked at the man in the mirror who was not haggard, and slapped the dressing table fiercely, "From today on, I quit sex!"
This was Lin Bai's words from the bottom of his heart. He had been tired for two consecutive days. Although his body could still bear it, his efforts were wasted in the end.
The reason why Lin Bai ate for two days in a row was to eat enough so that he could practice his internal skills with peace of mind.
Things like female sex are meaningless.
Mu Zhen was getting dressed. When she heard this, she glanced at Lin Bai and said, "I just finished eating and haven't wiped my mouth clean yet, so I'm talking big!"
"What do you know? A woman's opinion!" Lin Bai scolded.
Mu Zhen glared at Lin Bai and said angrily: "How come the anger didn't subside but instead got worse?"
"Go and cook! I have to go to work in the hospital!" Lin Bai said.
"Stop fussing, you've already eaten!" Mu Zhen put on her clothes and became more and more unhappy, "We're not even married yet, and you just order me around. How can you do it in the future?"
"Every other family is like this! Whose mother-in-law doesn't work?" Lin Bai drew his sword ruthlessly.
When Mu Zhen heard this, she glared at Lin Bai angrily and went straight to the kitchen.
Lin Bai touched her chin and saw that she really didn't look like she was pretending. I just hope that I am being suspicious.
"The purple color that time was really a thorn in my heart. What's the reason? Do you want to try Sister Zhen?" Lin Bai thought secretly.
After breakfast, Lin Bai rushed to the hospital.
It is indeed a bit late today. It is already bright and it is uncomfortable for people who are exposed to the sun.
"We must abstain from sex, and first cultivate Wuji Gong to perfection. Then indulge in beauty, is this what we do?"
Lin Bai clenched his fists and made up his mind.
He walked slowly all the way, pretending to be out of breath as he hurried on.
When he was approaching Baicaotang, Lin Bai saw a young man in gray clothes holding a sword from a distance, leaning on the door frame of the medical hall, as if waiting for someone.
This young man in gray clothes is not someone else. I saw him in Ren Biao's manor that day.
At that time, Lin Bai guessed that this person was a subordinate of Elder Tong.
Lin Bai kept walking, thinking anxiously: Am I exposed? Impossible. If that were the case, just take it from me. Why come to the hospital to wait for me?
Coming closer, Lin Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said in surprise: "Brother, what are you doing here? The sun is shining outside, why don't you go in?"
The young man in gray glanced at Lin Bai sharply and said, "You don't need to worry about it."
Lin Bai wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand again, hesitated to speak, and finally showed a bit of displeasure on his face, saying: "Brother, you are standing here with a sword, others just think you are coming to find trouble, who would dare to come? Ask a doctor?”
The young man in gray clothes glanced at Lin Bai again, turned around, raised the curtain, and entered the hospital.
Lin Bai breathed a sigh of relief and followed in.
In addition to Doctor Bai's grandson and grandson, there was actually a woman in the medical clinic.
The woman was about eighteen years old and taller than her peers. The waist is extremely straight, as if measured with a ruler.
The man wears black clothes, a black skirt and black boots. The sword he carries is also in a black sheath. Only his hair is tied with a red thread.
The girl in black glanced at Lin Bai, then turned her attention to Doctor Bai.
Lin Bai didn't know what the other party's purpose was, so he stood near the door where it was easy to escape, and winked at Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu looked back, but she didn't wink in reply like usual, she just curled her lips.
There was a moth flying around, Xiu Xiu stared at it.
The atmosphere was a little heavy, but Lin Bai didn't smell murderous intent from the girl in black and the young man in gray.
"Mr. Bai, I was weak and sick when I was young. Senior Sister Bai Wei often prepared medicine for me, took good care of me, and even took me to play. I will always remember it in my heart." The girl in black handed over to Doctor Bai.
Bai Wei is Doctor Bai's daughter and Xiuxiu's mother-in-law. She once joined the Qingyang Sect.
Lin Bai only heard the words of the woman in black and understood that she was also from the Qingyang Sect. It's just...since she comes from the Qingyang Sect, then the young man in gray should also be from the Qingyang Sect. So, Elder Tong is also a Qingyang sect? Was Pei Wuyong plotted by the Qingyang Faction? But before he died, he asked me to go to the blacksmith shop at the foot of Qingyang Pai Mountain...
Lin Bai's brain turned into mush.
Doctor Bai sighed and said: "Bai Wei is a doctor and she is your senior sister. This is what she should do."
"Senior Sister Bai is no worse than my biological sisters to me." The girl in black smiled, looked at Xiuxiu, and waved to her, "Are you Xiuxiu? Come."
Xiuxiu stepped forward stupidly, without her usual cleverness.
The girl in black pinched Xiu Xiu's cheek and said with a smile: "I'm afraid she's a bit greedy." As she spoke, she pinched Xiu Xiu's shoulders and arms, and also rubbed her head.
"It's a good seedling. It would be better if it can endure hardship." The girl in black made a judgment.
Xiuxiu was in a daze. She usually talked a lot, but now she was silent.
Doctor Bai was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward to hold Xiuxiu and said hurriedly: "Xiuxiu is indeed a good candidate to be a doctor."
The girl in black looked at Doctor Bai in slight surprise, then smiled with relief, then looked at Lin Bai and asked, "Are you Lin Zhuanlun, Mr. Bai's apprentice?"
A young woman directly calls the word "turning wheel", either she is coquettish or she does not understand the meaning at all.
This person should be the latter.
Lin Bai cupped his hands, then straightened up and said, "I do need Mr. Bai to teach me medical skills, but my surname is Lin and my name is Bai. I have been weaving mats and selling shoes for generations, and I don't have the name of wheel runner."
The girl in black looked at the young man in gray with some doubts. Apparently her news came from the man in gray.
The young man in gray clothes just smiled and said nothing.
"I was the one who was rude, please don't take it to heart, Brother Lin." The girl in black held her hands in a very polite manner, and she didn't know whether it was because of her nature or because of Dr. Bai's face.
Lin Bai returned the greeting without saying anything else.
The girl in black turned her eyes to Doctor Bai and said, "I was in a hurry today and didn't prepare any gifts. I will make up for Xiuxiu tomorrow."
"I dare not work for you." Doctor Bai pulled Xiuxiu and hesitated before asking: "I want to ask me...Bai Wei...when will she come back?"
Lin Bai had talked with Doctor Bai before. Doctor Bai believed that Bai Wei, Xiuxiu's mother, was probably dead. If he asked again now, he might just give up.
The girl in black lowered her face and said: "Senior Sister Bai has gone on a far journey, and I may not have seen her for a long time. Maybe she got stuck because of something. She will be back after finishing her work."
Dr. Bai nodded when he heard this but did not speak. His eyes were slightly red and his waist was bent a little.
"Mr. Bai, I still have something to do. I'll come visit you tomorrow." The girl in black handed over his hand.
"Miss Pei, walk slowly." Doctor Bai's mood was waning.
Pei? Your surname is Pei? Lin Bai immediately thought of Pei Wuyong, and he didn't know what the relationship between this girl Pei and Pei Wuyong was.
"Free delivery." The girl in black smiled at Xiuxiu, then looked at the young man in gray and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, let's go." After saying that, she stepped out.
The young man in gray clothes followed with his sword in hand without saying a word.
"Mr. Bai, what's her name? She looks very noble, but she's wearing all black." Lin Bai asked again.
"She calls herself Pei Ning." Doctor Bai said.
Lin Bai nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He just thought of Pei Wuyong again and the bamboo board with "Peace and Joy" written on it.
"It's for you." Xiu Xiu came back to her senses at this moment. She took out a small purse and handed it to Lin Bai, saying: "You will use this to carry money in the future, and remember to guard against thieves. Put it next to your pillow when you sleep." Then he looked worried and asked: "Have you...spent all the money?"
She didn't seem to care about Cai Pei Ning's visit.
Lin Bai took the purse and took a closer look. There were two herbal leaves embroidered on it, which seemed to be white myrtle leaves, but his needlework skills were really poor, like earthworms.
"I don't dare to spend it. I'm saving up to wait for my wife." Lin Bai rubbed her little head.
"That's good."
Xiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, put on a small face again, and warned seriously: "Remember, you can't gamble, they are all scammers. Don't go to those dark houses, if someone calls you to sleep, you must never No..."
Doctor Bai slapped Xiuxiu on the head and said angrily: "Go and read the febrile disease note ten times! Where did you listen to this nonsense all day long? You are not allowed to go out in the future!"
