180 nine

The incident with Xu Ling's Bai family came to an end, and Jiang Linchuan returned to Jiang's house with his five-year-old nephew in his arms.

The blood beads on his face were already cold, and dark red scabs formed on his pale skin. His expression was blank, neither happy nor angry, only the dark pupils reflected the dilapidated buildings and corpses on the ground.

The boy cried heart-rendingly in his arms. His weak hands grabbed Jiang Linchuan's hair and cheeks, but he couldn't even scratch the skin. Finally, he fell asleep in Jiang Linchuan's arms when he was tired from crying.

Jiang Linchuan let go of his hand covering the child's eyes, his palm was wet and warm, it was Bai Jinzhen's blood, and it was also the tears of his little nephew.

Blown by the cool wind, the mixture of tears and blood quickly cooled down, and the cold went into the bones.

It was late autumn at this time, and Xuling was full of red maples, like a burning flame, as if to endow the county with all the strong colors.

Jiang Linchuan stepped on the maple leaves all over the ground, looking back suddenly.

Looking from a distance, I can't see the damage of the Bai family, I only feel that Qionglou Yuyu is majestic and luxurious.However, Jiang Linchuan knew one thing very well, if the Bai family was a dragon hovering in Xuling, they had already chopped off the dragon's head by this time, leaving only a huge body.

"I remember that Bai Jinzhen has always been very kind to Jinyi." Jiang Linchuan said quietly.

The black-clothed waiter who followed him couldn't know what the blood-covered, ghost-like master was thinking, so he could only bow his head and say yes.

"That's why I handed over Jinyi to him for five years...heh."

With a faint chuckle, Jiang Linchuan stepped up and didn't look back.

A maple leaf floated down from the branch and rolled down between his clothes.

After returning to Jiang's house, Bai Jinyi woke up and cried again. This child has a stubborn temper and cries without eating or drinking. It doesn't matter who it is.

Jiang Linchuan washed the bloody smell off his body, took off his brocade clothes and jade belt, and put on a more friendly plain blue shirt, as if to completely distinguish himself from the Bai family's asura ghost.

He tried to amuse his nephew with a wooden slingshot. The little slingshot was given to him by the little monkey when he was recuperating at Orion’s home. It was very rough. At that time, the little monkey said triumphantly, “I made this myself, but It's fun."

Bai Jinyi was only a few years younger than Pihou, and Jiang Linchuan felt that his little nephew should also like it.

He also smiled at his little nephew.

The sharp sarcasm in the corners of the brows and eyes were all subdued, leaving only a bit of tenderness and childishness.

But the little nephew cried even more when he saw him.

Anzhi and Ruosu coaxed Bai Jinyi with their arms around them.

Jiang Linchuan stepped back to the threshold and watched the scene expressionlessly until late at night, when the frosty sky and moonlight shone all over his body.

Probably because it was too noisy and the children were too fragile, Bai Jinyi became hot at night.

The Jiang family had a lot of pills for cultivation, but they couldn't find any pills to treat the child's illness. Jiang Linchuan ordered the waiter in black to find the Jiang family's master of alchemy and treat the child.

The master of alchemy who was pulled over in the middle of the night looked at the patriarch standing at the door, and at the boy being taken care of by the maids in turn. He deeply felt that he was being overqualified, but he dared not speak out.

After the alchemy master left, the more careful Ruosu wiped the boy's forehead with a wet handkerchief, while Anzhi was drumming up some elixir.

According to the master, there are so many spiritual plants in the world, just take a few of them that can cure hundreds of poisons and have mild medicinal properties, grind them into powder and mix them with water, and feed them to the children.

After wiping off the cold sweat from Bai Jinyi's forehead, Ruosu put away the handkerchief and was about to soak it in cold water, when there was a piece of cyan soft cloth on his side.

"Master." Ruosu was surprised.

"Hush—" Jiang Linchuan put his fingers to his lips, squatted halfway on the side of the bed, and raised his hand to caress his little nephew's forehead.

The child's forehead hair was a little wet, his cheeks were red, and the slightly hot temperature spread from his forehead to Jiang Linchuan's palm.

Jiang Linchuan murmured: "Only now, this child will obediently let me touch it."

"I'm his uncle, so I won't hurt him, but he's afraid of me..."

Ruosu felt sad when she heard it, and lowered her head to hide the moisture in the corners of her eyes, she can be regarded as an "old man" who grew up with the siblings.

Jiang Linchuan lowered his head and looked at his little nephew seriously for the first time.

The five-year-old child had never opened his face, but his mouth and nose resembled Bai Jinzhen's, but his eyes resembled Jiang Xiangyi's.

Jiang Linchuan looked at it and couldn't help thinking, if he was like Bai Jinzhen, his little nephew would probably be very handsome in the future, but if his eyes were like his sister's, there would be an extra touch of delicacy in this handsomeness, which should be very attractive to girls.

Unlike him, alone...

Jiang Linchuan fed his little nephew the medicine with his own hands, and only got up and left when his fever subsided and he slept soundly and sweetly.

"Master, the wind is a little cold at night." An Zhi hugged a robe, and when he wanted to put it on Jiang Linchuan, he raised his hand and refused.

"No need." Jiang Linchuan shook his head, "Just take good care of him."

After saying that, step out of the range of the candlelight and walk under the quiet moonlight.

An Zhi lay on the window sill, and saw a young man standing under the shade of trees. The young man was tall and handsome, like green bamboo and white jade, with a pure aura that the entire Jiang family did not have, especially his eyes, which were as clear as emerald green lakes, beautiful Extremely.

As long as the owner stood at the threshold, the boy waited under the rockery for as long.

He didn't smile until the Patriarch came out.

The old Patriarch fell, and the Eldest Miss passed away. Although the origin of the young man is unknown, he is the person the Patriarch trusts and "relies on" the most.

In recent years, the head of the family has become more and more powerful and ruthless. Only in front of that young man can he obtain a short period of peace.

Jiang Linchuan dragged Mei Jiu to the study room. The study decorations were the same as usual, except for a few more bits and pieces.The waiter in black found it and sent it to Jiang Linchuan because he thought it might be useful or precious.

Jiang Linchuan didn't have time during the day, but now he remembered.

To him, natural materials and earthly treasures don't mean much. Jiang Linchuan usually asks people to put them in the warehouse when he sees them. Jiang Linchuan stops only when he finds something.

It was a picture scroll, the scrolls were scattered, and the picture scroll was stamped with the seal of the Bai family. Below the seal was a line of petite characters, and on it was signed three characters——Bai Jinzhen.

This is Bai Jinzhen's stuff.

As the son of the Bai family, Bai Jinzhen has a wide range of knowledge and is a good painter.

Jiang Linchuan pursed his lips, and slowly spread out the scroll, and a picture of Spring River lanterns came into view.

It was the Lantern Festival 16 years ago, Jiang Linchuan estimated in his heart, because he saw a girl in the picture carrying an eight or nine-year-old child on her back.

The girl's bright eyes are good at looking forward to Shenghui, and she wants to get the red ribbon on the spirit tree behind her brother's back.

That was Jiang Linchuan's first visit to a lantern festival, and also the only time he visited a lantern festival.

The picture scroll fell from his hand and fell on the desk. Jiang Linchuan raised his hand to cover his face. He suddenly remembered that he had met Bai Jinzhen before.

When he was nine years old, his sister sneaked out of Jiang's house with him.

He doesn't remember exactly how he slipped out, but he remembers that the crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and countless Kongming lanterns are flying under the night sky. The whole night market is brightly lit, full of flowers and crowds of pedestrians.

The two siblings carried a lotus lantern and ran in the streets and alleys, cheering while running, almost crazy.

But my sister is a mortal who can't cultivate, and she got tired after a long time of trouble, so the two of them sat on the big rock beside the Spring River to rest.

A spiritual tree was planted by the river. The spiritual tree had grown for thousands of years and had already given birth to spiritual wisdom.

I don't know when, this stout spiritual tree has become a place of blessing for people.Pray for good weather, pray for the safety of your loved ones, and pray for a good marriage.

The spiritual tree is covered with red ribbons. People write their wishes on the ribbons, tie a knot, and hang them on the branches together with the wind chimes, which means that the blessing has been successful.

And there is no ribbon on the wind chime, which means that no one has made a wish, and others can use it.

Jiang Xiangyi looked at the red ribbon floating above his head, and his mind changed.

The spirit tree grows very tall, with a round crown.Generally speaking, a little bit of magic can be taken down, but Jiang Xiangyi is a mortal.

She didn't want Jiang Linchuan to use spells, and insisted on taking the ribbon in the most stupid way.

Since he couldn't reach the treetop, he carried Jiang Linchuan on his back and let him take it.

The two siblings tossed and talked at the same time.

"Sister, what wish do you want to make?"

"Don't tell you."

"I know, Sister An Zhi told me that you want to find a good husband."

"Stinky boy, you are the only one who has trouble." He then directed Jiang Linchuan, "Over there, over there, be careful."

"It's almost there, just a little bit."

"Sister, I got it..."

"Really?"

When Jiang Xiangyi was happy, she staggered, and the two siblings almost fell into a ball. Fortunately, she stabilized her figure at the last moment, so no tragedy happened, but this was enough for the two of them.

"Sister, the ribbon is flying!" Jiang Linchuan was startled.

Jiang Xiangyi looked left and right to find it, and saw the ribbon spinning in the air, about to fall into the river.

At this time, someone skimmed across the river, retrieved the ribbon, and stopped in front of the two of them, carrying a few strands of cool river wind between their sleeves.

It was a young man in a red shirt, wearing a mask that can be seen everywhere on the street.When the two Jiang Xiangyi ran wild, they were afraid of losing face, so they also wore the same mask.When resting by the river, Jiang Xiangyi thought the mask was boring, so he took it off.

"Girl, is this yours?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xiangyi hurriedly nodded and raised his hand to take it.

The man chuckled and walked away.

Jiang Xiangyi held the red ribbon and looked in that direction for a long time.

"Sister, don't you write your wish?" Jiang Linchuan tugged at her sleeve to remind, "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Xiangyi recovered and answered eagerly.

There was a blush on his face, Lingxiu's eyes were a little erratic, Jiang Xiangyi explained a series of explanations on his own: "I was just thinking about the identity of that person just now."

"Look at the mask on his face, isn't he born too special for fear that others will recognize him?"

"He doesn't know us?"

"...Sister, I didn't ask this."

"..."

"And half the people on the street wear those masks."

"……Oh."

Thinking about it now, that person was Bai Jinzhen.

After taming the Teng Snake, his eyes turned into snake-like vertical pupils.

This pair of animal pupils is unique and has become his symbol.He wore a mask to hide those eyes.
