Catch a thief to warm the bed

The moon has already risen, and through the window, you can still see a little silver light, but the house is dark.

Lin Pei's eyes were used to the gloomy light, and he could clearly see the situation in the room.He got up and lit the candle, as if he was afraid of disturbing Baichu City, he hurriedly extinguished the fire.

"Oh." Lin Pei sighed, took a coat and put it on, and went out.

In the courtyard, the moonlight flowed slowly like water, Lin Pei sat on the steps in front of the building, staring blankly at the moon in the sky.

The wind blew across his cheeks, and a trace of coolness penetrated into his skin. Lin Pei couldn't help shivering.

"It's late at night, why don't you just sit here and stare blankly?" Zhang Hengtian yawned, Lin Pei turned his head and looked over, Zhang Hengtian was coming out of the hut.

"I was woken up." Lin Pei's voice was a little low, there was no tiredness and displeasure from being woken up, but boredom.

Hearing that Lin Pei was worried, Zhang Hengtian walked over, sat down beside Lin Pei, and asked, "Bai Chucheng is awake?"

"No." Lin Pei moved to the side to make room for Zhang Hengtian, "He still called my name in his dream, which made me... well, I have an indescribable feeling. This is not the same as you, Brother Tianyuan and Master care about me differently. You treat me like a relative, but I am not related to Bai Chucheng, and even wanted to steal his Xuanbing Jade Flute. He didn't send anyone to arrest me. I am thankful. Instead, he saved me. I really can’t guess what his purpose is.”

Zhang Hengtian smiled and said nothing. Lin Pei's dislike for Bai Chucheng obviously disappeared, but he also had no friendship with Bai Chucheng.

However, according to Lin Pei's temperament, he would definitely repay the favor after being rescued by Bai Chucheng. Of course, it was absolutely impossible for him to give up the Xuanbing Jade Flute.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hengtian laughed.

Hearing Zhang Hengtian's chuckle, Lin Pei asked puzzledly, "Brother, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing, maybe Bai Chucheng has already dug a hole for you, waiting for you to jump in." Zhang Hengtian looked like he was watching the show.

Lin Pei was not so calm when he heard Zhang Hengtian's words. He stood up suddenly, with a layer of anger on his handsome face, and he snorted coldly, "Brother, what you mean is that Baichucheng's treatment of me is the final result." The purpose is still to catch me? You Baichucheng!" Lin Pei gritted his teeth and said the word "Baichucheng", Zhang Hengtian twitched his mouth, and suddenly had the urge to smash Lin Pei to death with tofu.

"Xiao Pei, senior brother knows that that incident has hit you hard, but I also hope that you don't look at all the people who are kind to you with malicious eyes." Zhang Hengtian put on the posture of a brother, "Bai Chucheng is kind to you, senior brother It can be seen that it is sincere. To be honest, in the daytime situation, if it were me, I would not want to risk going crazy and losing my martial arts to save a stranger."

"You have superb medical skills, and Bai Chucheng doesn't understand anything." Lin Pei retorted.

"Haha." Zhang Hengtian laughed loudly, "Brother, Bai Chucheng probably didn't even know he dug the hole that brother mentioned earlier. Maybe he sank while digging, and finally couldn't extricate himself."

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Lin Pei was confused by Zhang Hengtian, but Zhang Hengtian didn't intend to continue explaining. Firstly, he might have made a mistake in some things. If he didn't make a mistake, he couldn't say anything; secondly, Ning Tianyuan was still waiting. Look at him, if he doesn't go back, Ning Tianyuan will come out to look for him, he feels distressed.

"Brother Tianyuan and I have to go out at dawn, you should go to bed early, the woods are cold and humid at night, it's not good for your health." After finishing speaking, Zhang Hengtian ignored Lin Pei's curious eyes and left with a smile on his face up.

Lin Pei watched Zhang Hengtian enter the house, stood in the yard for about a stick of incense, and then opened the door and went back to the room.

Bai Chucheng was still asleep, showing no sign of waking up.

"What if he can't wake up again?" Lin Pei suddenly had such a question in his mind, but when he thought that Bai Chucheng would never wake up again, guilt rushed into Lin Pei's heart like a wave.

Lin Pei has unconditional trust in Zhang Hengtian. Although he knows that this kind of trust will kill him at some point, he just believes it. The trust formed in 20 years is almost unshakable.So Zhang Hengtian said that Bai Chucheng had no evil intentions for him, so he believed in Bai Chucheng.

Unexplainable emotions wrapped Lin Pei up like a cocoon, clinging to Lin Pei so tightly that Lin Pei couldn't breathe.

"Huh—" After taking a few deep breaths, Lin Pei put all the questions that he couldn't figure out and didn't want to think about behind him, and then he lifted the quilt and went to bed.

Lying on the bed, Lin Pei didn't feel sleepy at all, his eyes kept sweeping back and forth on Bai Chucheng's cheeks.

Gradually, tiredness came to Lin Pei's mind, and he fell into a deep sleep. Before he completely lost consciousness, he saw Bai Chucheng standing in front of him.

Behind Baichu City was a peach forest. He was wearing the light blue cloak embroidered with dark lotus flowers, and he was standing among the fluttering petals with the Xuanbing jade flute in his hand.Seemingly seeing Lin Pei, Bai Chucheng smiled slightly, and lifted the flute to his lips, and the music sounded out slowly.

The wind breaks and the flowers fall, and the petals gather, like a waterfall, falling from the sky.

"what--"

Lin Pei let out a scream. He saw the waterfall of petals falling from the top of Baichucheng, and blood sprayed all over him instantly. When everything fell silent, Lin Pei only saw Baichucheng's torn clothes and the Xuanbing jade flute.

"Hoo-hoo--" His chest heaved violently, and Lin Pei gasped for air, as if his heart was about to burst from his chest.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Hengtian rushed in when he heard the cry.Seeing that Lin Pei was sweating profusely and his clothes were soaked in beads of sweat, he handed over a handkerchief.

Lin Pei wiped the sweat off his face and explained, "I had a nightmare."

"You dreamed again..." Zhang Hengtian hesitated to speak.

Lin Pei knew what he was going to say, and shook his head quickly: "It's Bai Chucheng. I dreamed that Bai Chucheng and I were in a peach forest. He was playing the flute, and suddenly countless flower petals fell from his head, and then...then..." Lin Pei As if unwilling to recall the bloody scene, he covered his face with his hands and stopped talking.

"Where is the sachet that Master gave you?"

"When I sleep, I keep it under my pillow." Lin Pei took out the soothing sachet from under the pillow.

Zhang Hengtian looked at the sachet, then at Lin Pei, and sighed: "It seems that I have to ask Master to refill the medicine for you. This thing doesn't seem to work anymore."

"Don't bother Master." Lin Pei snatched the sachet and patted it, "Master is traveling around the mountains and rivers, so you don't need to trouble the old man with such trivial matters."

"Your business..." Zhang Hengtian hadn't finished speaking when Ning Tianyuan pushed the door open. He looked worried, as if he was worried about something. What attracted more attention was the white falcon resting on his forearm.

"Tianyuan, what's the matter?" Zhang Hengtian looked at the white falcon on Ning Tianyuan's arm and asked in confusion.

Ning Tianyuan handed over a note, and frowned: "This is a letter from Falcon. The emperor seems to be looking for trouble in Baichucheng."
