I may be helpless

After packing up his work, Lin Bai wiped his hands, washed his face, patted off the dust on his clothes, and walked to the opposite kitchen with the most energetic look.

And Xinghua was also fetching water to wash her face, it seemed that she was ready to go out after finishing her work.

"Hey, Xiao Lin, you're here." Yang Xiuqin leaned against the door, watching Xinghua busy, saw Lin Bai coming, and said hello.

Lin Bai replied casually, "Well... what are you doing here?"

Xinghua was busy washing her face and didn't hear it, but Yang Xiuqin replied with a smile on her face: "Go to the city to buy something."

Lin Bai licked his lower lip, "Are you two going?"

"That's right, I wanted to call Yang Yu, but I didn't see where Yang Yu went when I came here, so Xinghua and I went, and the other sisters were busy packing up." Miss Yang's eyes almost smiled. To overflow.

A sense of happiness is overwhelming.

Lin Bai stabilized his position and said sincerely: "...Then, why don't I go with you?"

"Ah? Why?" Miss Yang said bluntly.

Lin Bai rolled his eyes, "I'm worried that it's not safe for you two girls to go to the city, you forgot, when you came back last time..." She didn't finish her sentence, after all, that memory was not very good.

Yang Xiuqin obviously followed Lin Bai's words and recalled some bad things, and her face sank a little, but she recovered quickly, "That's okay, let's go together, the three of us."

Lin Bai nodded.

So from Yang Xiuqin leaning against the door frame waiting for Xinghua alone, it became the two of them.

Lin Bai waited a little anxiously at the moment, and frequently probed in to see whether Xinghua was washing her face or taking a bath, why was it so slow.

Over there, Yang Xiuqin blinked when she saw Lin Bai's probe, and suddenly understood something, and looked at Lin Bai with a smile in her eyes.

"I said, Xiao Lin, I'm afraid you went to the city with us not just for safety?" She laughed.

Lin Bai stared at his big innocent eyes, could it be that his conspiracy was discovered? "What..." He pretended not to understand.

Yang Xiuqin pursed her lips and smiled subtly, she didn't answer the words, instead she looked like 'I'll just watch you pretend there quietly and not expose you'.

Lin Bai kept pretending to be naive and innocent, and didn't answer any more.

As for Xinghua, as the two of them were looking forward to it, she tidied herself up, and the three of them set out on the road together.

But just the three of them walking together is quite eye-catching.

Be it the soldiers passing by or the militiamen, they all took a second look at this strange combination, especially the eyes they looked at Lin Bai, as if they were holding a knife, swishing.

The back of Lin Bai's neck felt cold from being stared at, so he had to quicken his pace.

The three of them came to the city, and visited the cloth shop and jewelry shop with two ladies for a while, before Lin Bai broke away from his girlish heart, and remembered that he had a serious business in going to the city, and when he picked a girl to appreciate the cloth, Lin Bai found an excuse to go to the bathroom and slipped out.

She originally thought that anyway, it was just a plot of 'pretending to discover information', and it would be ok to walk outside for half an hour before going back.

Moreover, he was dressed in casual clothes, so there was no stress in wandering the streets. Looking at antiques in the east and groping for jade in the small stalls in the west, it was extremely leisurely.

But she didn't notice that since entering the city, there has been a figure following them not far or near, and every time they turned around to buy something, that figure seemed to disappear again, which was very strange.

After wandering around for about 10 minutes, Lin Bai felt that it was almost time, so she wanted to go back to the store by the same way, and she didn't know if anyone was still there, but thinking of the enthusiasm of the girls before, she thought, she probably wouldn't leave, And the main purpose of their coming out this time is to buy fabrics for the new clothes they will wear when they get married, and Yang Xiuqin has mentioned many times to take a closer look, so she is not worried that no one will be found.

But this time she turned around a little faster, so that the figure who had been following her behind her had no time to react, and was bumped into by Lin Bai.

Lin Bai was unresponsive. It wasn't until the figure disappeared in a flash that she remembered, hey... Did a familiar figure walk by just now... That person seems to be... Tetsuya?

Lin Bai was not sure, because she only saw the man once, and the man disappeared.

But when she thought that Zhe, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, might also appear on the street, she became interested and walked a few steps to the place where the figure was just now to check. Of course, there was nothing.

Is it Tetsuya?Lin Bai was a little uncertain, did he misread it?Although Tetsuya is a petite boy, it is not uncommon, and it is normal to see it wrong... Could it be that I miss Tetsuya so much that I miss him wrongly?

Shaking his head, Lin Bai was going back to the shop to find Miss Yang and the others after he regained consciousness.

He had just stepped out, and before he had time to put it down, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a piece of white paper pressed against the stone in the corner of the wall on his right hand, which was very conspicuous.

It’s no wonder that Lin Bai stood up. Her location was a little remote. She walked into a small alley to chase after that figure. It’s not uncommon for a stone to be placed at the entrance of the alley. What appeared was so abrupt.

To see... or not to see?

Before she had time to think about the choice, her body helped her make the choice, and she bent down to pick up the note and unfolded it.

The above is a familiar and delicate font, which made Lin Bai's heart tremble before he saw the content clearly, and his hands trembled a little when he saw the content clearly.

The content is as follows:

Are you looking for Lin Qing?Still come to me?

The two lines of writing seemed to be drawn in a row, as if they were written in a hurry, and they were not written in a proper manner with a brush or pen, more like... a pencil?

Lin Bai frowned, the person he saw just now was not Tetsuya, but that person...the one who wrote her a letter to threaten her.

That person is in town?

"Hey, Xiao Lin, why are you here?" A familiar voice brought Lin Bai back to reality.

Before she looked up, she hurriedly stuffed the note into her palm, clenched her fists to try to cover it, and then raised her head.

It was Yang Xiuqin and Xinghua who had already bought the cloth.

"What's the matter, what were you watching just now? So engrossed?" Yang Xiuqin asked.

Lin Bai squeezed the note in his hand, "No... I was just thinking about it, is there anything else I want to buy?"

Listening to Lin Bai's explanation, she probably didn't want them to know what happened just now, Miss Yang is not stupid, she glanced at Lin Bai's left hand, the scarred hand was tightly held, she suddenly remembered, Lin Bai It seems that they are members of the independent group. Maybe there is some serious secret mission in the city this time. Thinking of this level, she didn't ask much.

But this also gave Lin Bai convenience.

"Have you bought it?"

"Hmm. Brother Xiaolin, do you want to buy anything else?" Xinghua asked.

"Ah, I didn't, so shall we go back now?"

"Let's go back." Yang Xiuqin patted her small basket and the new fabric in a cloth bag next to the basket, "Xinghua and I have bought it, now we have to go back and make it, let's go?"

"Ah."

The three went home.

Before leaving the city gate, Lin Bai didn't forget to turn around to see who was following them.

Of course, the result is the obvious nothing.

"What's wrong?" Xinghua asked in a low voice.

Lin Bai shook his head with a complicated expression, "It's okay..." He said, stuffing the note in his heart into his pocket.

...

All the way back to the village, the two girls couldn't help chattering about how cheap the fabric was, how it was so good, and were still discussing what kind of clothes they should make when they turned back. Well, I was actually thinking about who that figure was.

Or maybe, this note was not put down by that figure at all, and in that case, there would be too many people to suspect.

"Hey, Xiao Lin, how old are you this year?" Yang Xiuqin watched Lin Bai pondering and remained silent, and threw a topic in the past, wanting him to participate in their discussion.

Lin Bai, who didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to himself, replied in a daze, "Twenty. Uh... Ten... Uh..." She hesitated.

Because she really can't remember how old she should be...

Soul age is 24 five.

But the actual physical age... how old was the last time you lied?

"Look at you, you've been so busy all day, you don't even remember your own age?" Yang Xiuqin joked.

Lin Bai thought for a while, "Ten...seven." It should be fine for him to say that he looks like Seventeen.

However, she forgot that just before, when she met the monk for the first time, she lied that she was only fifteen...

"Yeah, you're 17 years old." Yang Xiuqin said, "That's exactly the same age as our Xinghua. How old are you?"

Xinghua is also seventeen... Lin Bai took a look at Xinghua who had been silent all this time, with a round face, she looked like a high school student, but at the age of 17, in modern society, she would be a Adult high school students.

It's just a little pitiful for her to pretend to be a high school student when she is old.

Lin Bai smiled awkwardly, "That's a coincidence, I was born in January." The age report is too young, so the birthday date should be older.

"Then you are still older than our Xinghua, Xinghua is in November." Yang Xiuqin said, and gave Xinghua a teasing look, "No wonder Xinghua calls you Brother Xiaolin every day, you are really better than Xiaolin." She's ten months older."

Ten months... Lin Baiheixian, I'm afraid I'm older than you... But she didn't say it, she just nodded her head in response.

"Okay, I'm older than you, don't worry about it now." Yang Xiuqin said such a sentence suddenly without thinking.

Lin Bai looked up, she was looking at Xinghua and said that, it seems that she didn't say it for herself.

And Xinghua, after receiving Lin Bai's suspicious gaze, coughed lightly, pretending that she didn't understand, and said, "Don't worry about it...don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, I'm talking too much, okay~" Miss Yang never missed any chance to tease Xinghua.

On the other hand, Xinghua looked at Yang Xiuqin with her chubby little face, as if she was a little annoyed by this cheeky big sister.

But Lin Bai was at a loss, what are you talking about?
