Chapter 36 Thirty-six Black Cicada
People are coming and going on the street.
Before I even stepped into the hospital, I heard Doctor Bai coughing slightly.
After entering the door, I saw Dr. Bai drinking medicine, and Xiu Xiu looked at him with wide eyes, as if he was supervising work.
"I'm here for a consultation today. Mr. Bai, please go to the back hall to rest." Lin Bai stepped forward.
"It doesn't matter." Doctor Bai waved his hand.
Lin Bai's ears and eyes were sharp and he noticed that Doctor Bai's aura was weaker than before.
"Grandpa, please rest for a while, we are here!" Xiuxiu took the empty medicine bowl and held Doctor Bai's hand towards the back hall.
Lin Bai followed and persuaded Doctor Bai a few more times before letting Dr. Bai rest.
Coming out of the back hall, Xiu Xiu tilted her head and looked at Lin Bai very carefully.
Lin Bai ignored her, just picked up a medical book and read it, waiting for the disease to come out.
"Why are you late today?" Xiuxiu asked.
"I got up late." Lin Bai said casually.
"Sluggard." Xiu Xiu sharpened her ink and started copying medical books.
After writing for a while, she rubbed her wrist, and when she saw Lin Bai looking down at the medical book, she cooed twice.
Lin Bai raised his head and looked at her.
Xiuxiu looked at Lin Bai with a smile and said nothing.
"Is something wrong?" Lin Bai asked seriously.
"Are you in a bad mood today? Did you lose money? Why do you look like your wife has run away?" Xiuxiu stared at the money bag on Lin Bai's waist.
"Where did you see it?" Lin Bai was helpless.
"I just feel it." Xiuxiu tilted her head, looked at Lin Bai and smiled, and asked again: "You seem to look better today."
He didn't look in the mirror when he went out today, but Lin Bai could feel that he had undergone qualitative changes from the inside out.
It's not that the appearance has changed, but that the energy and spirit have reached a new level.
Lin Bai guessed that it was because of Mu Zhen's elixir.
The superficial changes should be minimal, that is, she spends time with Xiuxiu day and night, and she likes to stare, so she watches a little.
"When will I not look good?" Lin Bai asked.
"Of course you look good every day. I'll put a flower on your head another day." Xiuxiu smiled.
Lin Bai glared at her and stopped talking to her.
"Let me touch your hand." Xiu Xiu spoke again.
"How old are you?" Lin Bai raised his eyebrows, thinking that this girl must be disciplined and disciplined.
"What? Even if I'm not older than you, I still take longer to feel your pulse than you do!" Xiuxiu said seriously.
"Feel your pulse..." Lin Bai stretched out his hand, took a breath and adjusted his pulse.
Xiuxiu touched it quietly for a while and said: "No problem, it's fine. You touch mine."
As she spoke, she stretched out her arms.
Lin Bai took his pulse, closed his eyes and listened quietly.
"It's very healthy. If you think less, talk less, and talk less in the future, you will definitely find peace and joy, and live a long life." Lin Bai said with a smile.
"You know how to pick up good-sounding nonsense." Xiuxiu smiled silly.
"Take my pulse." At this time, the curtain at the door opened, and it was Pei Ning.
She doesn't have any murderous intent, and she doesn't wear black. She only wears a light green skirt and holds a sword in her hand. She looks more chic and calm like a child of the world.
Lin Bai felt a headache. Xiuxiu could tell that she was slightly different today. She wondered if Pei Ning would notice.
Suppressing his thoughts and keeping his face as usual, Lin Bai quickly stood up, bowed and asked curiously: "Why is Miss Pei here?"
"Sister Pei..." Doctor Bai disciplined Xiuxiu and prevented her from getting too close to Pei Ning, so she was quite unfamiliar, not as often as Lin Bai had seen her.
"I heard that Mr. Bai is ill. Come and take a look." Pei Ning stepped forward, looked at Xiuxiu, and said, "I am your uncle, not your sister."
Her voice was usually very cold, but now when facing Xiu Xiu, she had a soft and somewhat doting smile.
Xiuxiu rubbed her little hands together and retorted in a low voice, "I don't have an uncle."
"Mr. Bai, have you rested?" Peining asked again.
"I just took the medicine and have rested," Lin Bai said. "Then it's gone." Pei Ning held the sword in one hand and put the gift box in Xiuxiu's arms with the other hand. "Be careful and don't refuse again."
Xiuxiu hurriedly caught it, not daring to say no, she just looked at Lin Bai, waiting for Lin Bai to make up her mind.
"Your Majesty, I kindly accept it." Lin Bai motioned to Xiu Xiu to put it away.
Pei Ning nodded, sat down, stretched out his arms, put them on the table, and said, "Take my pulse, too." At the same time, he stared at Lin Bai, still smiling.
Her wrists are very white, her fingers are long, and her mouth is calloused.
"The noble man is in good health and does not need to check his pulse." Lin Bai said.
Pei Ning said nothing and only looked at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai gritted his teeth, sat down, and pressed his pulse gate with two fingers.
People with strong internal strength usually have extremely slow pulses, and Peining is the same.
"With the pulse gate in hand, do you want to take advantage of this to restrain her?" Lin Bai thought about it for a while and thought it was better to forget it.
The other party may have become suspicious, so since he dares to hand over his veins, he must have someone to rely on.
"Miss Pei is in good health, far better than ordinary people." Lin Bai retracted his finger.
"No other questions?" Peining asked.
"Other questions..." Lin Bai thought for a while and asked, "Is Miss Pei's monthly letter inaccurate?"
Pei Ning slapped the sword on the table, his face turned a little unnaturally red.
Lin Bai immediately judged that in the past, there must be no one talking flirtatiously in front of Sister Pei, not even a suitor.
"What are you doing? If you don't want to change doctors, you won't get paid. Why are you trying to scare people?" Xiuxiu stood next to Lin Bai and glared at Peining.
Pei Ning looked at Xiuxiu, with a smile on her face, and said, "I'm not trying to scare people. I mean, I practice martial arts all year round, and it's true that my monthly readings are not very accurate." When she said this, she reached out and touched Xiu Xiu's face. , then smiled and said: "I am your uncle, not an outsider. You should get close to me. I like you too."
Does this mean that I am an outsider? Lin Bai didn't say anything, just silently on guard.
Xiuxiu took two steps back, shook her head, and said nothing.
For a moment, the three people in the hospital were silent.
After a long time, Pei Ning picked up the sword, stood up, and said, "I'm leaving first." After taking two steps, he looked back at Lin Bai and asked, "Is there any prescription that can cure it?"
Lin Bai shook his head and said: "Generally speaking, it's fine if you get married."
Peining nodded, raised his sword and left.
"Don't imitate her in the future. You can kill people with a sword." Xiu Xiu warned Lin Bai.
"No one will be cruel to you." Lin Bai pinched her cheek and realized that Xiu Xiu actually seemed to kiss him and not Peining.
"You always pinch my face, it's true." Xiu Xiu opened Lin Bai's hand, giggled, and asked in a low voice: "Is pig's trotters expensive?"
This is greedy again.
When it got dark, Lin Bai left the hospital.
I paid careful attention along the way and saw nothing out of the ordinary.
"No one is following me. Pei Ning didn't notice anything unusual about me? Or do I have other plans?"
Lin Bai was thinking about it along the way, and before he got home, he saw Mu Zhen's bun shop on fire.
Many neighbors carried buckets of water to put out the fire, and there was chaos everywhere.
I left, I left very decisively.
Lin Bai watched for a while and then went back to his home.
When I got to the door, I took out my key and listened quietly to what was going on in the courtyard.
There's just the chirping of cicadas, and there's nothing wrong with that.
After opening the door, Lin Bai took a glance and saw that the yard was as usual.
Looking at the jujube tree again, there is a black cicada lying on it, chirping non-stop.
Taking two steps forward, the black cicada fluttered and flew over. Lin Bai stretched out his hand, and the black cicada fell into his palm.
Soon, the cicada's wings fell off, and there were small words on them: It may save lives.
The black cicada slowly turned into a black hairpin, which felt warm and moist to the touch. The material was unknown, but it seemed to be some kind of tree branch.
