As soon as we entered the house, the hall was full of cats and dogs, sleeping and playing. I counted with my fingers that there were about thirty or forty cats and dogs on the first floor, not counting those upstairs.

Bai Xi looked at this scene with a shocked expression at the door. She didn't know whether she liked it or hated it. This was the first time in her life that she had seen so many small animals.

Zhang Yusheng was sitting on the sofa, reading a book intently, with two kittens and three puppies lying next to him, looking at him obediently, waiting for him to let them play.

Xu Weilin sat on a small stool and played with the two dogs. She was playing so energetically that the puppies' tails were shaking like they were about to fall off.

"I don't have much ability in this life, so I can only adopt these abandoned children." Boss Zhang looked at these cats and dogs with light in his eyes, and he doted on them endlessly, even more than he did for Zhang Zihan, his own grandson.

relative.

Zhang Zihan rolled his eyes at the side, shook his head and said, "Versailles!"

"Children, it's time to eat!" Boss Zhang said loudly.

The animals wagging their tails came in excitement and surrounded Mr. Zhang, but none of them jumped on him.

"Be good, Lao Mu, take the kids to dinner!" Boss Zhang was extremely gentle when facing these stupid kids.

"I don't know why I feel sad." Zhang Zihan felt unspeakably jealous when faced with his grandfather's appearance.

"Can you compare with them?" Boss Zhang said with a mocking tone.

"No, can't he haha ​​haha" Zhang Zihan's face was dead, and he was unwilling.

"Sister, come with me." Boss Zhang walked in front with a cane.

Bai Xi glanced at Zhang Zihan and followed him.

"Bai Xi, you're here, are you used to it?" Xu Weilin, who was sitting on the stool, stood up and saw Bai Xi with a smile on her face.

"Mom!" Bai Xi called softly.

"Let's talk later. Bai Xi is coming with me." Boss Zhang said seriously.

"Go." Xu Weilin said.

Bai Xi nodded and followed him into a room.

"Didn't Grandpa forbid us from entering that room?" Zhang Zihan walked up and looked at Zhang Yusheng in confusion.

"Ask him yourself." Zhang Yusheng read the book without raising his head, but he knew Zhang Zihan was looking at him.

Zhang Zihan approached the door and put his ear against it, not wanting to see what was going on inside, but just wanting to hear the sounds inside.

The room is very big, at least 70 to 80 square meters, and can't be seen from the outside at all.

It is filled with books and weapons.

What caught Bai Xi's eye at first was the rows of neat and domineering weapons, and she unconsciously walked towards the weapons.

Seeing the dazzling array of weapons made her excited, and without Boss Zhang's permission, she took a long sword that was completely black and had no trace.

"There is spirit in the sword, power in the sword." Bai Xi looked at the sword with care and held it carefully, fearing that the sword would be broken due to his carelessness.

"Recognize it?" Boss Zhang stood next to her.

"Isn't this already lost in the world?" Bai Xi couldn't put it down and gently put the sword back on the shelf.

"This is made by someone based on the history books. Everything here is." Boss Zhang said not only that the eyes of those stupid kids will shine, but also that when it comes to these weapons, their eyes are full of stars.

Bai Xi looked at him with envy.

"Interested?" Mr. Zhang asked with a smile.

"Yeah!!" Bai Xi nodded excitedly.

This was the first time that she was so excited.

"You can try Zhan Lujian again." Zhang Laodao said.

Without saying a word, Bai Xi picked up the sword that she had just put down. She carefully observed the details of the sword. The craftsmanship was truly miraculous and incredible. Bai Xi felt as if he had found a treasure.

Bai Xi swung the sword a few times and put the sword back with satisfaction.

"How do you feel?" Boss Zhang asked.

Bai Xi looked at him with a smile and didn't answer him with words. You could tell just by looking at her expression.

"Although these are all fakes, they are more than 95% restored. Regardless of appearance, weight, and texture, they are all forged according to the book. The only flaw is the material," Zhang said regretfully.

Bai Xi touched the weapons here with a cherished hand and smiled knowingly.

"Here are some history books. If you are interested, you are welcome to come anytime." Zhang Laodao said.

"Thank you!" Bai Xi bowed gratefully to Boss Zhang.

"Let's eat!" Zhang Laodao said.

Zhang Zihan was lying with his face on the door, unable to hear the sound inside.

At this time the door opens.

Zhang Zihan stood there awkwardly, looking at Boss Zhang and Bai Xi standing there.

"What are you doing here?" Boss Zhang asked strangely.

"No, yes, there are mosquitoes. They just flew here." Zhang Zihan smiled stupidly and clapped his hands together, pretending to swat the mosquitoes.

"Childish." Boss Zhang said with disgust.

The two people walked out and locked the door.

"Childish!" Bai Xi said to Zhang Zihan, imitating Boss Zhang's tone, and followed Boss Zhang to the dining room.

"Oops!" Zhang Zihan stood there, not knowing whether to laugh or be angry.

Weifeng came in from the side garden with several orange kittens in his arms, walked to Zhang Zihan, and said expressionlessly: "Master, standing here is a bit in the way." He moved to the side and walked to the dining room.

"Oh, what happened today?" Zhang Zihan scratched his head helplessly.

Tomorrow!

Han Ling, the leader of the Dark Night Organization, sat in front of Bai Ye's grave. This time he didn't drink, he just sat quietly and lonely.

The sun has set on the hillside, leaving only a section of brilliant red clouds on the horizon, on the top of the mountain, and on the treetops.

"The weather and people are urging each other, the winter solstice brings spring, Bai Ye, another winter solstice." Han Ling looked at the tombstone sadly, "How is Bai Xi doing now?"

No matter what festival it is, or what troubles he has, Han Ling will come to Bai Ye's grave and chat with him. Even if he doesn't get a response every time, he still insists on coming.

"Bai Ye, are there any winter solstice dumplings down there this year?" Han Ling said as he opened the basket next to him, took out a bowl of glutinous rice balls and placed them in front of the tombstone. "It's your favorite sesame filling."

"You are indeed here." Li Xu stood next to him holding a basket.

"Hey, Mr. Li doesn't need to spend time with his family at this time?" Han Ling said angrily.

"Don't be so weird." Li Xu knelt down, put a bowl of glutinous rice balls in the basket and placed it in front of the tombstone, "This is Bai Xi's favorite peanut filling."

"Here you go." Li Xu also brought out two bowls of glutinous rice balls from the second level of the basket, and handed the bowl to Han Ling, "Eat it, sesame filling."

Han Ling took it and said, "Master Li, you are so thoughtful."

Li Xu sat next to him and looked at him, "You won't drink today?"

"There will be action tonight." Han Ling said.

"Drinking date next time?" Li Xu asked.

Han Ling looked at him in disbelief. This Li Xu actually took the initiative to ask for a drink. It seemed that he was under a lot of pressure recently.

"I want to disband my armor and return home." Li Xu looked at Han Ling and said dullly.

"Come and organize, you are welcome." Han Ling said gently.

"Let me think about it." Li Xu replied with a smile.

Han Ling suddenly changed his color and tilted his head slightly, as if he was wary of something.

Li Xugang scooped up a glutinous rice ball and brought it to his mouth. When he saw him doing that, he immediately stopped and looked at him.

"Let's go, there's someone there." Han Ling picked up two baskets, stood up, took Li Xu's hand and ran in the opposite direction.

Three bowls of intact glutinous rice balls, a broken bowl and a few glutinous rice balls were left in front of Bai Ye's grave.

After they ran, a sudden gust of wind blew towards the five people hiding in the grass, forcing them to close their eyes.

After a moment, the wind stopped, and five masked men with knives in their hands rushed out of the grass. "What the hell, chase." the man standing in front shouted.

I don't know who they are, and I don't know if they are here to hunt down Li Xu or Han Ling.

I don't know who sent it.

Han Ling pulled Li Xu and ran all the way. Li Xu looked back from time to time, but saw no one catching up.

It was the first time for him to run like this. It was so exciting that he couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart.

"Are you crazy?" Han Ling, who was running ahead, felt confused.

"It's fun, it's really fun." Li Xu shouted loudly.

"Keep your voice down, don't attract people." Han Ling probably guessed Li Xu's mood at this time. It was probably his first experience in life for a civil servant to run wildly in the mountains, so he would inevitably be so excited.

"Chief, are you always like this?" Li Xu asked.

"Otherwise, we will just fly over the roof and walk over the wall." Han Ling said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

"Oh~!" Li Xu cast an envious look.

"Interested?" Han Ling asked.

"Well!" Li Xu looked at him expectantly.

"Next time you have a chance, run away now." Han Ling quickened his pace and pulled Li Xu into the grass nearby.

Li Xu turned around again and went to the back, but it was still empty and no one was catching up.

Han Ling pulled Li Xu and turned left and right on the mountain, scurrying left and right, and finally came down the mountain.

When Li Xu was sent to the door, he still looked unfinished.
