Chapter 23

"As soon as possible..."

Since leaving the guest room, Bai Wei has been thinking about what Sun Simiao said just now.

It wasn't until I stopped by chance that I realized that I had walked to the small courtyard where I had visited with Baiji last night, and the little one sitting on the threshold in front of me with my face on it was Ling Xiaonian who stayed here last night. .

"Uncle!" Smelling the familiar smell, Xiao Nian jumped on Bai Wei with excitement, like a black octopus, stuck and never moved again.And those big eyes were extremely bright, even though they couldn't tell the face's appearance clearly, they softened the oversized black pupils a lot.

"Why is Xiaonian at the door alone?" With a chuckle, he lifted him up and hugged him in his arms, Bai Wei looked at the layout around him, carried Xiaonian to the stone drum under the banyan tree not far away and sat down , "Is it because grandpa is busy, so let Xiaonian come out alone to play with his brothers and sisters?"

Although Master Ling's face doesn't look like that of an old man who is over fifty years old, but he is the father of Du Zun, so naturally he is Xiaonian's grandfather.Not to mention anything else, even at Bai Wei's age, he has to honestly call him senior.

Therefore, I don't think it's awkward to follow the child like this.

"Yeah! Grandpa also gave Xiaonian Xiaonian dried fish and pine nut candies." After nodding his head heavily, Xiaonian raised a bright smile and put the two brocade bags, which were bigger than his palms, in anticipation. Bai Wei gave it away in front of his eyes, "Grandpa said this is my father's favorite dried fish, and I like the crunchy ones too! Uncle eat it!"

In Ling Xiaonian's cognition, the attitude of expressing liking is to hug and rub, and then give what you like to the person you like.He likes Baiwei very much, so he wants to give him his favorite dried fish.

Because it was given to him by his grandfather with a good smell, and it is a small dried fish that my father likes very much.

So this is Xiaonian’s favorite food, even more so than golden armor~

"Okay! Uncle, try one." The dried fish was not as long as a finger, so it was more like a root than a stick.Bai smiled and twirled one and threw it into his mouth. The small dried fish with a faint salty smell was indeed as Xiaonian said, crunchy and fragrant.Although it is not very delicious, it is very suitable as a snack to satisfy the craving.

Reaching out to pat Xiaonian's head, Bai Wei noticed that Xiaonian's loose long hair had been tied up in a small bun behind his head with a headband, and his clothes had been changed into a well-made but slightly The half-new dark blue gown, at first glance, could easily be mistaken for black.

"Xiao Nian's clothes are also given by grandpa?"

"Grandpa said it was my father's clothes when I was a child." Sitting sideways on Bai Wei's lap, dangling his feet and eating dried fish, Xiao Nian obviously liked this dress very much, and even his eyes lit up a little when he said it.Then, as if remembering something, he pulled out a slightly thicker silver chain from his collar: "Grandpa gave Xiaonian this!"

"This is?!" She glanced at the silver chain indifferently, but Bai Wei was startled when she saw the silver pendant underneath, and then hurriedly pulled it up for a closer look.It was a small silver medal, with a rectangular shape that was thicker and slightly wider. It looked a bit like a small rectangular silver ingot, but what Bai Wei was very concerned about... was the engraved pattern on it.

It was a somewhat abstract little snake with a coiled body lying down. It was the totem that appeared in the diary that was brought to Miao Jiang earlier, and it was also... an important clue to find the person mentioned in the diary of the Poison Lord.

With a helpless smile, Bai Wei finally knew why Bai Ji and Xiao Ba said they had never seen it before, and it turned out that this thing was left by Master Ling at the old head Ling.If it wasn't for a coincidence that he met Xiaonian when he was looking for the way out, and brought him back to the magic doctor's school, I'm afraid this thing would never have appeared in front of his eyes...

It's just... is this silver medal with a pattern really just a keepsake?

Since the Poison Lord printed the coat of arms in the letter, could it be that the totem itself is the clue?

The patterns on the notes are flower blue...

Common ink pads are made of cinnabar, or black black ink, but why does Du Zun choose to use flower blue that is not readily available?Or is there any important connection between Hua Qing and the person 'Xinghui'?

The snake in Miao language reads Nan...

A blue snake...a blue...Nan? !

How did he forget!The Miao people have always had their first name first and their last last, so Nan Mi's Nan is a first name, not a last name!Poison Zunruo has a deep friendship with Nan Mi, so he took the meaning of his name to mark it, not the dragon represented by the surname 'Mi'.

Regardless of whether it was on the top of the mountain where they met for the first time or the bamboo house where they got along later, Nan Mi's clothes were always blue, sky blue, navy blue and ultramarine blue, and these colors can be seen in most of the Huaqing ink paintings.What's more, in the Miao border, there is no safer place than Wu Lie's temple and the residence of the high priest...

Therefore, the Poison Master didn't ask them to risk their lives to find some spirit snake envoy of the Five Poison Sect, but asked them to seek help from Nan Mi, the high priest of the temple, when they were in danger!

It's really dangerous...

If it wasn't that they were short of time and didn't know where to look for someone, they might have thrown themselves into a trap one day.

No wonder... before leaving, Nan Mi would ask him in standard Mandarin if he was from Suzhou.It turned out that it wasn't that Bai Ji and Xiao Ba were showing their secrets, but that Nan Mi wanted to confirm whether they were the same family of Du Zun in Suzhou...

Such an obvious clue... He actually connected it only now...

…… He is now poisoned, found the token, and confirmed the candidate…

Moreover, the poison is very sinister, the token is complete, and the candidate is very reliable...

So, isn't it such a waste of such a perfect layout condition... What a pity?

"Uncle?" Seeing Bai Wei staring at the pendant without moving for a long time, Xiaonian tugged at his sleeve with a puzzled expression.

"Cough—" Although it's not good to lie to children, Bai Wei feels that instead of patiently explaining a bunch of exposure plans to Xiaonian, it's more reliable to tell a lie with a cheeky face.What's more, he didn't pay it back.

"Xiao Nian, this silver pendant is so beautiful, can I borrow it from my uncle for a few days?"

"Uncle also likes Dad's pendant?" Blinking, Xiao Nianyuan was talking about the pendant, but suddenly smelled a very faint 'sweet fragrance'.He squinted his eyes and smelled it for a long time. Just as he was about to turn his head to find the source of the sweet fragrance, Bai Wei stuffed his mouth with pine nut candy, "Sweet smell... woo woo woo——"

Why did uncle stuff him with so much sugar?

With so many words, he can't say "sweet" things to his uncle.

It smells good, it's different from the golden armor belt, that sweet... the smell of human blood that Dad said...

"Yeah, uncle likes it, just like Xiaonian likes pine nut candy." Playfully stuffing pine nut candy into Xiaonian's mouth one by one, rubbing his head with a white smile as if teasing the child, but actually It was to prevent Xiaonian from turning his head to look at the roof behind him, "Come on, eat more, uncle will buy it for you after eating."

That aura is really well hidden, if Xiaonian's beast-like intuition hadn't reminded him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have noticed that almost non-existent strange aura at all.And that smell of blood mixed in the fragrance of peach blossoms in spring, almost completely covered up...

He was so negligent that he forgot to watch.

'Xiao Nian, don't turn your head and don't talk. '

Just now suppressing Ling Xiaonian's slip of the tongue, Bai Wei saw two people slowly walking out of the small courtyard of head Ling, one in front and one behind, and it was exactly Zhong Liyan that Bai Ji and Lian Qiao were talking about.It's just... Baiji's face doesn't seem happy.

"Mr. Bai, let me continue with the same sentence. Insufficient evidence and useless evidence are two different things. Although Yanmeng has a slight reputation in the orthodox martial arts, it does not mean that it can influence the attitude of martial arts colleagues with its own words, not to mention the current situation. A few words can't quell the anger at all." Zhong Liyan, who walked out of the small courtyard with his hands behind his back, still had the same indifferent attitude that Bai Wei looked at from a distance, but it was only when he looked closely that he realized that although there was no disdain or disdain in that indifferent tone Contemptuous, but inexplicably exudes a sense of aloofness that makes people uncomfortable.

"It's better for the genius doctor to bother to find some useful evidence."

That attitude... It can't be said that the dog's eyes look down on people so much, but it's not much better.

"That's really troublesome Mr. Lao Zhongli." With a sneer, the corners of his lips curled up, Baiji's eyes were mocking, and his face was frosty, which was completely different from his usual indifference and gentleness, "Let's go slowly."

In fact, Zhong Liyan has always been aware of Baiji's suspicions about the genius doctor's school, so he went to the Yan League this time because of the current leader Yan Yilan.Bai Ji understood that as long as Yan Yilan publicly expressed his willingness to intervene in the investigation, Zhong Liyan would not be able to say anything.She never thought that someone else would make a move, and pushed Yan Yilan to retreat early on.

Now that the leader of the alliance is retreating, Zhong Liyan is the leader of the Yan League, and the people underneath are all his cronies.If you can't pass Zhong Liyan's test, it will be even more difficult for the genius doctor to get the assistance of Yanmeng...

"Yanmeng...won't you help?" Until Zhong Liyan's figure was gone, Bai Wei just walked to Bai Ji with Xiaonian in his arms, but he was not in a hurry to hint that someone was watching here.

The genius doctor's request was rejected, and Yanmeng had no intention of helping. There is nothing more suitable to deceive the watchers than this.

"...The situation has changed, and the evidence we...brought back is no longer needed." After a long silence, Bai Ji just smiled pale and helpless, probably because he didn't want to bring the anger just now to Bai Wei.The evidence obtained by fighting with his life has become a piece of waste paper. How can he explain such an ironic situation to Mu Sheng.

"I'm sorry, I've troubled you so much...but it's still useless..."

"There's no such thing as trouble between friends." Looking at Bai Ji's hair tie, which looked messier than usual, Bai Wei smiled and shook his head without reaching out to touch it.Although he has already understood his intentions for Baiji, but now is not a good time to express his position, it is better not to do these too ambiguous actions.

"Look at you, you look so bad and you haven't fastened your hairband, it must be because you didn't sleep well last night."

It seems that he doesn't have to think twice about using drugs to set up a trap.

Take a gamble...

"Come on, Xiaonian told Uncle Six, don't be sad, and if you work harder, you will be able to prove the innocence of the genius doctor."

"Uncle Six, don't be sad, Xiaonian will give you my favorite dried fish." Reaching out to wrap his arms around Baiji's neck, Xiaonian rubbed against his cheek to express his comfort, and the soft childish voice made people listen a little Inexplicably sad.

"Good boy, Sixth Uncle is fine." Sighing slightly, Bai Ji frowned slightly but his eyes softened a lot.He stretched out his arms to hug Ling Xiaonian, patted his back lightly, and said nothing for a while...

He is really tired.
