The sky is getting dark.
Shen Yi knocked on the door as usual and then pushed it open.
Lin Baiwei was hiding in the backyard as usual, and only popped her head out when she heard his voice.
Different from yesterday's wet appearance, the woman put on the white clothes today, with slim-fitting gown and fluttering skirts, as if she was born out of dust. If that delicate face could restrain its greed a little and stop swallowing saliva, it would be called a fairy. Graceful posture.
"Hey, I smell meat."
"Did you get a salary?"
She reached out and took the earthen jar and lotus leaf bag from Shen Yi's hand, and couldn't wait to put them on the table and open them.
Shen Yi looked at her profile with a little envy.
No matter whether he is eating fire or delicacies, he can show the same smile. If he had such a character in his previous life, maybe he wouldn't have to live so hard.
"There are blood stains on your body again. You go out every day..."
Lin Baiwei pretended to be teasing, but as the lotus leaves and the jar were uncovered, she frowned slightly and her face became colder.
Shen Yi saw her expression change and didn't know what happened.
But I am too lazy to care whether I like to eat or not.
He sat down at the table and reached out to grab the goose leg. The aroma of crispy skin and meat juice bloomed on the tip of his tongue, which actually covered up the slightly bland shortcomings.
The tip of Lin Baiwei's nose twitched slightly. She simply closed her eyes and hugged her arms tightly: "I'm so tired! I have no appetite at all."
Shen Yi rolled her eyes at her and took a sip of Huadiao directly towards the spout.
Lin Baiwei opened her eyes just a slit, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she glanced at him with her peripheral vision, biting her red lips: "If you are not used to eating sesame cakes, buy some raw meat and soy sauce tomorrow, okay? I'll cook them for you, why bother going there?" Steal others..."
"Can you cook?"
Shen Yi raised her head, a little surprised.
"If you don't know how to cook, you will starve to death. There are not restaurants everywhere... Are you listening to me?"
Lin Baiwei plucked her fingers: "A pound of pork is about twenty cents. If you save some monthly salary, including firewood, rice, oil and salt, you can eat meat almost every day. I can also do needlework, and I don't need to replace my clothes and shoes if they are torn."
In the dark room, Shen Yi silently watched her looking at her treasures, and then thought about the arrogance of Mr. Lin who casually took out eight hundred taels of silver.
"Are you really Miss Lin?"
"Are you deaf?" Lin Baiwei was frustrated, why couldn't she just say that she didn't listen?
An innocent servant who earned a salary from the imperial court either hung out with demons or bullied ordinary people, thus losing all his qualifications.
Before, I would have had to pluck the other person's ears off.
The angry woman looked very well-behaved. Shen Yi looked away, took out a few broken pieces of silver from her waist and threw them on the table, interrupting the other person's chatter: "Your father gave it to me."
As soon as these words came out.
Lin Baiwei was stunned for a moment, her eyes scanning back and forth over the blood stains on Yin Zi and Shen Yi.
"You went to find her?"
Without waiting for the other party to reply, she stood up suddenly, leaned over and put her pretty face in front of the young man, and said anxiously: "Do you know how serious the problems are? They are not as simple as you think. The North Cliff Fox Demon has elders wandering around. At this point, the reason why you haven’t come to the city is because you are afraid of my identity! But if you really kill its junior and make it completely angry, no one can protect you!"
She was obviously really anxious.
Shen Yi felt the fragrance coming to her face and looked calm: "So, who are you?"
Hearing this, Lin Baiwei's words stopped abruptly, she was silent for a long time, and said in a muffled voice: "You have heard the key point of this sentence."
Shen Yi also stood up, expressionless, and without hesitation wiped away the strange emotion in her heart.
As expected, this woman was still hiding something, and she was in much greater trouble than she imagined.
"Let's eat."
Shen Yi returned to the bed and sat down.
"I'm not a bad person anyway." Sensing his alienation, Lin Baiwei sat back and poked the yellow croaker with her chopsticks.
This time she really lost her appetite, and after a long time she whispered: "Is my dad okay?"
"temporary."
Shen Yi probably understood the other party's current mood: "The fox demon is not in the house, but he has brought other demons into your house."
"Thanks."
The blood stains on the young man's body and the silver on the table already told something.
Lin Baiwei tried to calm down her trembling hands, holding the earthen pot and sipping the fish soup in small sips.
She breathed slowly and her mood gradually calmed down.
Shen Yi remembered what the other party said before, that she must live...it turns out that the more precise meaning is that she must live even if her parents are unpredictable.
According to Lin Baiwei, the so-called elder fox demon was afraid of entering the city because of her identity.
"I want more money."
"What?"
Under Lin Baiwei's surprised gaze, Shen Yi took a rag and carefully wiped the scabbard: "I said, two books on the first level of martial arts are not enough. I want two books on the Yuye level as usual, and I want to receive one in advance as a gift. Deposit money."
Since the identity has changed, the price will naturally be different as well.
Lin Baiwei stared at him silently, actually accepting such "taking advantage of others". She picked up the chopsticks again and held the fish meat: "I can only remember one book. You prepare paper and pen for me and I will give it to you in three days."
The woman chewed the fish meat vigorously to hide the grievances in her eyes.
She is not used to showing weakness in front of anyone.
Suddenly, that indifferent and annoying voice came to my ears again.
"Does what I just said still count?"
"What are you talking about?" Lin Baiwei tried her best to stuff the sweet and tender fish meat into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging and her lips were stained with oil. She didn't want him to hear the trembling in her voice.
"Cooking and cooking."
Shen Yi hung the cleaned scabbard on the wall.
Even though the other person was like a riddler, he still sorted out his thoughts.
The fox demon was afraid of her identity and did not kill her, but he casually threw the powerless woman to his predecessor. No matter how powerful these foxes were, how could they guard her day and night?
It's nothing more than wanting to get rid of this woman with the help of my predecessor.
So what's so special about you?
After thinking about it, Shen Yi could only think of his identity as a businessman, from which he could easily deduce the fact that Lin Baiwei was trying to cover up.
Tsk, the Lin family sent their only daughter to apprentice with a master, and together she was eventually sent to the Demon Suppression Division, right?
The fox demon she fears most is clearly herself.
If he is harmed by the imperial servants, the fox demons can easily get out of the matter and throw away the blame completely.
If my original thoughts were even slightly wrong.
Zhen killed this woman with one sword and killed the people of the Demon Suppression Division with his own hands.
Just thinking about the scene of being offered a reward by the entire Daqian Dynasty, Shen Yi felt a chill down his spine, and at the same time, he scolded his predecessor for being such a blind person.
You dare to touch any woman!
"..."
How could Lin Baiwei know Shen Yi's many thoughts? She swallowed the fish meat, sucked hard on her slightly red nose, and said in a hoarse voice: "Just do it!"
Isn’t it just cooking? I’ll keep you busy!
The chopsticks squeaked loudly in her little hands, and she waited until she got through this month to find a way to break the seal.
When the time comes, be sure to prepare a large basin of water for washing the pot, hold his nose and pour it down.
Thinking of this, Lin Baiwei felt a little better, took the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
