sea ​​of ​​whales

With a creak, the iron door was gently pushed open, and the red rust rustled down.Bai Haili dusted the dust, and said to the people behind him, "Come in, no one has lived in it for a long time, but the dust is a bit big."

Following an outsider into the home she had been away for many years, Bai Jing felt unspeakable.

"You sit here first." Bai Haili said, "I'll go to the patriarch's house and let me know, just wait for a while."

"It's okay, I'll rest for a while." Bai Jing nodded at him with a smile. He didn't stand up until he saw Bai Haili striding out, and walked to the second floor.

His room on the second floor was still the same as before, and even the bedside furnishings hadn't moved a bit.It seems that in the years since Bai Jing's mother passed away, no one has ever visited this room.

Bai Jing opened the dark cabinet in the closet and dug out her account book.After thinking about it, he went to the middle hall to burn incense sticks for his mother.When Bai Jing's mother passed away, he didn't come back, and even the funeral was rushed.After many years, Bai Jing still clearly remembers what her mother said when she left home.

"Fatty, don't come back after you go out."

"Don't come back!"

Bai Jing still doesn't know why her mother resists her return home so much, even before she leaves, she won't let him see her for the last time.However, since he had the opportunity today, he still had to offer incense to his mother as a memorial.

Insert three sticks of incense into the incense burner, and the soot floats under the osmanthus tree outside the courtyard.Bai Jing sat quietly, full of thoughts for a while.

"Who?" He suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards a corner outside the wall.The hand holding the backpack tightly clenched, "Who's there?"

Under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, the shrubs swayed gently, and a figure was about to move in the darkness, accompanied by an ominous shadow.

At the same time, Bai Haili, who went to the patriarch to ask for a house to borrow, was severely scolded.

"Who asked you to borrow it?!"

The half-white-haired old patriarch looked at him bitterly, "Don't use your brain to think about the situation now. Is this the time to let outsiders enter the village?"

Bai Haili still wanted to quibble, "But those tourists outside live in the village, too."

"Can it be the same? There are people watching the places where tourists live, but what if he lives in a retail household and accidentally runs to a place where he shouldn't be? What's more—" Bai Lao Patriarch said: "You let him I live in Bai Jing's house."

"What's wrong with staying at Bai Jing's house?" Bai Haili murmured, "Anyway, the kid hasn't heard from him for more than half a year, so he might have died on some street."

"Bastard!" Patriarch Bai slapped the table, "Do you ever talk like that?"

"Uncle, uncle?" Bai Haili was taken aback, wondering why his uncle who always loved him would be so angry.Didn't he just gossip about Bai Jing? In the past few decades, people in the village say that there are fewer orphans and widows?But seeing that the old patriarch ignored his nephew, he turned around and said: "I'm really sorry, let the guests see such an unbearable scene, it's because of our lack of education on weekdays, and we are ashamed."

It was only then that Bai Haili noticed that there were several other people standing in the shadow behind the old patriarch. He raised his eyes and saw a pair of ice green eyes, and couldn't help but flinch.

Where did such a grand foreigner come from?Before Bai Haili figured it out, the foreigners over there had already started talking to Patriarch Bai.

The translator said: "Mr. Ludwig asked, has that Mr. Bai Jing not lived in the clan for a long time?"

Patriarch Bai quickly said: "Yes, yes, after Bai Jing went out to study in college, she never returned home."

The translator asked again: "So, is it common for tourists like this to ask to live in the homes of local residents?"

Patriarch Bai was stunned, "Well, there is no such thing. Our lineage has only been open to outsiders in the past two years. It is still very rare for outsiders to borrow."

Hearing the words, the man with dark green eyes suddenly stood up and walked towards the door.

"This, this is..." Patriarch Bai was at a loss.

The translator explained to him: "Ludwig said that he wants to meet the borrowed guest in person."

Having been a human spirit for many years, the patriarch is not for nothing.He thought of the purpose of these people coming to the village, and Ludwig's actions, he couldn't help but wondered: "Are you suspicious that the person who came back is Bai Jing?" He said, turning his head to look at Bai Haili.

"No, no, absolutely impossible!" Bai Haili raised his hand and swore, "Bai Jing and I grew up together, and I still know what he looks like. How could that fat man with a fat head..."

Ludwig, who was about to go out, suddenly turned his head to look at him, staring at Bai Haili until he dared not speak.

For a long time, such a sentence sounded in the minds of everyone present.

[What if he 'transformed'? 】

Patriarch Bai's face changed, but Ludwig had already strode away, so he could only follow quickly.

"Metamorphosis, metamorphosis?" Bai Haili was still standing there in a daze, "That stupid fat man Bai Jing? But he is not of pure blood, how could it be... Hey, wait for me!"

A group of people rushed to the old yard of Bai Jing's house, each with their own thoughts.A good show is slowly unfolding.

Ten minutes ago, under the fence of Bai Jing's house.

Holding the backpack in her hands, Bai Jing felt a little more at ease after feeling the temperature of the penguins inside.On the way home, he was always a little distracted, feeling that something was irritating the back of his neck, and reminded him of danger from time to time.After arriving in Baijia Village, the sense of crisis not only did not subside, but intensified.

He looked at the bushes warily, and the bushes swayed slightly, and then, a thin figure slowly came out, it turned out to be a young man under twenty.

"Hey, don't be nervous. I'm not a bad person!" The young man raised his hands high and said, "I'm just curious to come and have a look. You are also from the Bai family, right? I saw you worshiping your ancestors just now."

That's not ancestor worship, it's burning incense for my mother.Bai Jing complained, seeing that it was a minor, she relaxed her guard a little.

"Before I came to China, I knew you had many customs. I just took a closer look just out of curiosity. I'm sorry to disturb you."

Looking at this foreign boy with brown hair and brown eyes, he really couldn't laugh or cry.At this time, he regarded this young man as a tourist who accidentally broke into the inner house of the Bai family.

"You're here for the first time? You speak Chinese well."

"That's right! Otherwise, I can grab the current position?" The brown-haired boy said proudly: "Master Ludwig took me here because of this. But I don't like him, obviously everyone is My companion, but he hid it and didn’t let me know anything. He didn’t tell me what that person looked like when I wanted to find him, so I could only wander around like a headless chicken.”

Find someone?

Bai Jing just wanted to ask a question.

"So you are the one who was arranged by the Bai family to monitor Bai Jing?" the young man asked.

Bai Jing: "..."

"Yes." Suppressing the turmoil in his heart just now, he smiled, "You too?"

"No, I'm not." The young man looked at him with great interest, "I just came out for a stroll, to see my fellow tribe in Asia."

What does blood mean?This person kept claiming that the Bai family, did they cooperate with the Bai family?Could it be that there are secrets in Baijia Village that I don't know?

Just when Bai Jing was thinking about this, the boy had already walked into him slowly.

"Look carefully, you look quite good-looking." He stretched out his hand, "It reminds me of someone."

For some reason, looking at the pair of brown eyes close in front of her eyes, Bai Jing's mind seemed to be confused suddenly, and she stood there blankly, not knowing to move.

Seeing his appearance, the young man smiled slightly and approached him further.

【idiot! 】

Something in his arms suddenly stirred, which suddenly woke Bai Jing up, causing him to take a step back in time.

The penguin poked its head out from the backpack, staring at the uninvited guest with its dark eyes.

"Yaya! Mubai?" Bai Jing was taken aback.

"This penguin..." The brown-haired boy looked at the penguin with a frown, and suddenly staggered weakly.When he stood up, he had changed a lot. The look he looked at Bai Jing had changed from curiosity and eagerness to anger.

Bai Jing was naturally very familiar with this scene.

"...Mubai?"

"Get out of here quickly." Mu Bai, who was occupying a strange body, said, "This is not safe, someone wants to catch you."

Bai Jing picked up the penguin and ran after him.

"Who wants to catch me, human?"

"Human?" Mu Bai sneered, raised his head, and let Bai Jing look behind his ears in his current body, "Do you think the owner of this body will be a human?"

Bai Jing looked up and saw a familiar gap, it was a gill slit, this is it?

"Sea descendants."

Mu Bai whispered: "A group of guys who have abandoned the ocean long ago."

Hispanics?Why is the Bai family involved?And why are you following me?What do they have to do with the fleet that attacked last time?Bai Jing still has a lot to ask.But the person in front of him suddenly went limp again and fell to the ground.

Well, he's used to it.Bai Jing picked up the penguin in her arms familiarly and stared at it carefully.

"Hello, is the signal okay? Is it Yaya or Dabai who is talking to me now? If you don't speak, I will treat you as Yaya."

For such a stupid name, Penguin slapped him without hesitation.

Bai Jing confirmed that such a violent guy must be Mu Bai.

[Idiot, idiot, idiot! 】

"Okay, okay, I'll run right away, don't rush me."

Bai Jing climbed over the wall and left carefully with her things.

And when Ludwig led people to the old yard of Bai Jing's house, all he saw was the burnt incense and the brown-haired boy who fell unconscious on the ground.

"It's really him."

Ludwig twirled the ashes in the censer and looked at the dark sky.

"Chase!"
