Nanlin Bamboo Demon

Chapter 72 Homecoming

Afterwards, Chen Qi sat down in the living room and waited for Bai Zhi to finish his work, not daring to "harass" him anymore.

The twilight of the sky gradually faded, and the lights of every house were hung up together with the night. The butler helped the last old man who was seeing a doctor out of the medicine shop.Seeing this, Chen Qi immediately got up and looked at the people in the room with the faint candlelight.

Bai Zhi put the brush aside, sorted out the slightly messy papers beside him, the brazier in the house was already extinguished, and the butler was busy, so he didn't bother to light it up again for a long time.

When there are many people in this room, the smoke makes the room warm, but it doesn't feel cold.As soon as the people dispersed, they immediately cooled down. At this moment, a gust of wind mixed with water vapor blew in. Bai Zhi shrank her neck, pressed down the paper that was going to be randomly rolled up with the inkstone, and then stood up.

He picked up the cloak from behind, wrapped it around his body, blew out the candles, looked back when he reached the door, and then went out with peace of mind, walking towards Chen Qi.

Chen Qi rushed out to greet him, walked too hastily, tripped over the threshold, almost fell down, but was held by Bai Zhi.

"Senior's hands are really warm." Bai Zhi smiled.

Chen Qi drank a lot of warm water in the house, and he didn't move much while standing and sitting in the house, so his body was full of heat.

But Bai Zhi's hands were cold, even if he was in a room with a brazier, he didn't seem to have much warmth, Chen Qi couldn't help shivering because of the ice.

Bai Zhi let go of his hand and rubbed his hands, "It will be like this when I relax, but my hands are definitely not like this when I'm sick." After Bai Zhi finished speaking, he sighed at his hands, "Senior has been waiting for me, right? Are there any complications?"

Chen Qi smiled wryly, "You really don't remember me?"

Bai Zhi stopped, raised her eyes and looked at Chen Qi, "Can you remind me that this junior doesn't remember people very much."

Chen Qi was a little disappointed, his palms were sweaty and his heart was hot, but at this moment he couldn't resist the coldness of these words, he frowned, "Many years ago...you saved me..."

Bai Zhi was puzzled, "To tell you the truth, I have saved too many people, I really can't remember them all."

"Then how many people were rescued at the back door of your house?" Chen Qi felt a little embarrassed.

Bai Zhi opened his mouth, as if he was trying to remember, "You... ah... I have an impression... You..."

"Ah Chih!"

Chen Qi and Bai Zhi turned their heads to look at Tang Feng, who was striding over with a steaming teacup in his hand, without spilling a single drop of water in the cup.

"Fu Ya, let me tell you, he is..." Bai Zhi looked a little happy, and when he smiled, the corners of his eyes would form a perfect curve, which looked great on the side of his face.

Without looking at Chen Qi, Tang Feng handed the teacup to Bai Zhi, "It's too cold, drink it quickly."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Fuya!" After speaking, Bai Zhi took the cup and drank it down.

"Are you two brothers?" Chen Qi asked.

"with you……"

"Exactly," Bai Zhi interrupted Tang Feng, "Fuya was given by Master, and Master called it that, so I called it that too." After Bai Zhi finished speaking, he handed the award teacup to Tang Feng, "By the way, you are here today Look for me, there must be something wrong, is the old disease relapsed?"

Chen Qi looked straight at him and said, "No, I came to find Mr. Bai this time to seek help from the leader of the Snake Demon clan."

Seeing that Bai Zhi was frowning, Chen Qi continued, "I knew that you are the third son of the Bai family. I will not hide it from you. Not long ago, in Lanye Mountain, a powerful person destroyed Lanye Mountain, and the mountain was destroyed and rocks collapsed..." Chen Qi paused for a moment, "All bones are revealed!"

Tang Feng squeezed the tea cup tightly, and turned the mouth of the cup.

Chen Qi didn't notice it, and continued, "There are some demons among them, and the Bai family is also a famous figure in the demon world, so I came here to ask for favors. I wonder if the Bai family can intervene in this matter and help investigate?"

Bai Zhi didn't speak for a long time, his brows remained unchanged, his eyes staring at Chen Qi narrowed at some point, unable to see his emotions clearly.

The streets in winter are quiet, and there is no sound outside.

"Senior, the journey is hard, why don't we sit down inside and listen to you talk slowly, how about it?" The moonlight hit Bai Zhi's back, Chen Qi felt a little cold.

"I'll let you in, so don't make it dirty." Tang Feng was taller, and when he got close, Chen Qi was very uncomfortable with the strong sense of oppression.But in his life, he despises this kind of speech gesture that looks down on others the most. He took a step back, patted the snow that fell on his sleeve at some time, nodded and said, "Every time Mr. Tang sees me, he is full of hostility. I won't go into the house to disturb Mr. Tang's heart, I am here to ask for a location in the Bai family's territory, I can go there on my own, and I won't make you two worry too much."

"I understand senior's thoughts, but this Bai family's territory can't be explained clearly in two sentences, can it? The Bai family's territory is large, and it is full of forests. If you go in without a map, it will be a dead end. Come in with me first, How about I draw a sketch with you?" Bai Zhi raised his head and looked at Tang Feng, Tang Feng said "As you like" and left with his sleeves.

Bai Zhi turned her head to look at Chen Qi, with a smile in her voice, "Don't pay attention to him, he doesn't treat anyone well, come with me."

"I don't care how he treats me, I'm just curious about such a eccentric person, how can you be so friendly with him?" Chen Qi followed behind Bai Zhi, and went around to the back of the main room.

Bai Zhi was walking in front. The snow had been falling for a long time, and then stopped for a while, and then started to fall again. The ground was covered with snow, and there was a creaking sound with one foot and two feet, "He understands me."

Bai Zhi tilted his head and said.

Chen Qi thought, that vicious Tang Feng really seemed to be very kind to Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi walked with him for a long time, and Chen Qi felt that the medicine house was a bit too big, much bigger than he originally thought.After passing through quite a few yards, but still not seeing the end, Chen Qi felt something was wrong.

Since he was led forward by Bai Zhi, he has never seen a third person again. Is it because it is too cold, so everyone stays indoors...

Bai Zhi walked forward sullenly, without saying a word.

wrong!Chen Qi thought, a map can also be drawn in Jishitang, there is absolutely no need to travel such a long distance, and when he mentioned the matter of Lanye Mountain just now, the two of them seemed not shocked at all, helping the world and saving people Bai Zhi, how could this be?

Chen Qi thought about it, and his walking pace also slowed down. At this moment, he calmed himself down, trying to ignore what he saw in front of him, and use his hearing to perceive his surroundings more.

All around him are low houses covered in snow, dry grass and dead branches, and the sound of wind blowing past his ears hurts him.

"What are you thinking?" Bai Zhi stopped and turned around and asked.

Chen Qi's hearing was extremely sensitive at this time, and he didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he caught a smile from Bai Zhi's words.

At that moment, Chen Qi suddenly thought of the rumors about Bai Zhi in the Three Realms—"Weak as a waste, extremely dull." When he first knew that Bai Zhi was the benevolent doctor who saved his life, he spurned the difficult rumors and felt that Bai Zhi is so good, everyone is "like a waste of stupid", it's ridiculous!

But he never doubted Bai Zhi's authenticity, never doubted that the rumor might have been true, just like he never doubted that the man in the cloak in front of him was already a bloody demon.

"Master Bai." Chen Qi said.

"Ok?"

"I heard that Mr. Bai is stupid, and he is a waste. Now look at it." Chen Qi stared at Bai Zhi, "They are stupid."

Bai Zhi gently shook the hands wrapped in the cloak, "Since I know it's a rumor, I don't believe it."

"Why didn't Mr. Bai draw a map with me in Jishitang?" Chen Qi went straight to the point.

Bai Zhi paused for a moment, "It's not convenient there."

Chen Qi felt a little dizzy, he shook his head, "What's inconvenient? It's nothing more than pen and paper, do you need something else?"

Bai Zhi stepped forward, the smile and tenderness were no longer in his voice, "What are you doubting?"

"Huai...doubt...you...give me...medicine...?" Chen Qi was a little slurred.

"Senior, you look a little uncomfortable," Bai Zhi stretched out his hand from the cloak to help Chen Qi.

Chen Qi pushed Bai Zhi away, raised his hand and drew his sword from behind, pointing at Bai Zhi, "You really have a ghost!"

Bai Zhi spread her hands, "Senior, what are you talking about, I just want to help you rest."

"me……"

Chen Qi felt someone behind him, before he could turn around, he was hit hard on the back of the head, his eyes went dark, and he passed out.
