long night walk

Chapter 217 The fingers are too clean
Bai Lian glanced at the young scholar, and said: "The deficiency cannot be nourished, and ginseng is useless, but you can buy some warming and tonic medicine and food, and use it to cook porridge and soup, which will benefit Miss Ji San's recovery."

Ji Ting was very grateful to Bai Li'an, and said in his mouth: "As long as my sister can recover, even if it breaks my bones, I will go to borrow money."

Bai Lian said: "Well, everyone seems to be watching the New Year's Eve tonight, and the pharmacy is not closed yet, so you go first."

Ji Ting was stunned for a moment, then bowed his head and saluted, and went out of the house to borrow money.

Ji Ying wiped her tears, and twisted the quilt for Yaomei, lest she catch cold.

Seeing that the little girl's breathing was no longer intermittent, she finally regained her composure, and her face was a little more lively, the big stone that was pressing on her heart finally fell down.

"Young master, today's great favor, Ji Ying has really worked hard for you in this life, and I can't repay you." Her voice was choked up and she said with emotion: "I never thought that in this city, there are people who would care about our lives. .”

Hearing her sad voice, Bai Lian did not comfort her.

Everyone has his own choice.

The longing, longing for the fairyland on earth, to despair and sadness.

All because of their choice.

Bai Lian would not ask about other people's family affairs and past events one by one.

He took a pen and paper from the case, scribbled lines of small characters, dried them and folded them, and took out some silver taels from the money bag.

Handed it to her and instructed: "There are some warming and tonic medicinal materials to be bought on the paper. You keep the money and try not to go through your brother's hands. Go and buy the medicinal materials for your sister."

Ji Ying froze, didn't answer, and looked at Bai Li'an with a complicated expression.

Bai Lian shook his head and said, "If you want to protect your sister, you should be careful."

Ji Ying lowered her head slowly, her face was a little sad, but she still took the paper and silver, and couldn't help asking: "Master, you think my brother can't be trusted?"

Bai Lian said: "I'm just an outsider, so I can't believe it. It's just that your brother has cleaner fingers than you, so you have to bother the girl herself when it comes to buying medicine."

Ji Ying couldn't understand what he meant, so she hurriedly explained: "That's not the case. My elder brother is a scholar. He managed to get into Jinhua Academy a few days ago. He will be a promising person in the future. For miscellaneous things like writing with a pen and cooking noodles for business, of course you can’t let your brother do it.”

Bai Lian smiled and did not argue with her any further, but said: "Young lady, do whatever you want in your heart. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave first."

Ji Ying involuntarily clenched the money tightly in her hand, and finally carefully hid it in her sleeves. She hurriedly said: "It's cold and late at night, if you don't mind, can you stay and let the little girl cook a bowl of hot noodle soup for you."

Bai Lian said: "Then I will trouble you to cook two bowls of noodle soup. I need to pack it up and take it away."

Ji Ying's heart warmed, knowing that he didn't really want to eat noodles, but he just didn't want her to think that tonight was her unilateral favor and assistance.

Although this young man is gentle and handsome, hiding a slight alienation, it seems difficult to really get close to his heart, but Ji Ying feels that he is really a considerate and loving man.

Carrying two bowls of hot noodle soup wrapped in thick oiled paper, Bai Lian, Lin Yuan, and Gui Yuan walked on the snowy road back together.

Lin Yuan was very curious and asked puzzledly, "Why didn't you give the money directly to the scholar?"

The heavy snow is getting thicker, but it is still difficult to hide the beautiful moonlight in the city that never sleeps.

Bai Lian seemed to be concentrating on something, and the contours of his cheeks were lightly illuminated by the moonlight, making him look very gentle.

He said: "If an elder brother cared about my younger sister, even if he couldn't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands, he would definitely not let her open the door to do business on New Year's Eve.

The wind and snow were very cold tonight, and the girl's emotions were dripping with sadness. She was on the verge of collapse, but he read comfortably in the wind-shielding and warm back room.

Sister Lin Yuan, have you noticed that the girl on the bed has very chapped lips, even though she can't eat, it's not difficult to get some water to feed her, right? It can be seen that Ji Ting doesn't care much about his two younger sisters .

Just now he proposed to borrow money to buy ginseng medicinal materials, but because of my kindness in sending my soul to save his sister, he thought that I was a good person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs, and I always help people to the end.

Since I, a good person, heard that he was going to borrow money to buy medicine, in his eyes, naturally, a chivalrous man like me would not sit idly by and be generous again. "

Speaking of this, Bai Lian chuckled twice, made a rare joke, touched his stomach, and said, "It's a pity, it's cold here, where did so many passionate hearts come from?"

Seeing him like this, Lin Yuan couldn't help feeling a little shy, and asked again: "Then why don't you mention Ji's sister, what if the money you gave her is cheated by that young man?"

Bai Lian said: "It's useless to talk too much, she is the one who lives under the same roof as the young scholar, she knows what kind of person her elder brother is than us, she just explained and debated for her elder brother, that's because he is her Brother, now that she wants to save her sister, she knows what to do without me needing to say more."

Lin Yuan looked at him and sighed, "Sometimes I wonder if you have eight holes in your heart."

Bai Li'an said: "Live the whole life again, don't remember the past, in this life, you should live a little more clearly."

Lin Yuan hesitated to speak.

Bai Lian noticed it, and couldn't help asking: "Sister Lin Yuan, you might as well speak up if you have something to say."

Lin Yuan paused, looked into his eyes and said, "I don't know why, Si Chen, you seem to be living very cautiously."

Bailian: "..."

After a moment of silence, he asked softly, "Is there?"

Lin Yuan nodded and said: "You seem to be in awe of something deep in your heart. This kind of awe is engraved in your bones. Even if you lose your memory, you instinctively live very seriously and cautiously, as if you are faintly afraid and Fear, fear of your own deviations and mistakes.”

She couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was, this serious attitude towards survival.

It shouldn't be a bad thing to be cautious and meticulous in one step and three views.

However, what is beside her now is not an old man who has seen all the vicissitudes of the world, but a young man in fresh clothes who is in full bloom.

This kind of careful and earnest way of life is certainly awe-inspiring, but it also makes people feel distressed.

Lin Yuan didn't know what he had experienced before his death, and what kind of family environment he lived in that made him calm and almost perfect.

Without the impulsiveness and enthusiasm of young people, it seems that the edges and corners that this age should have have been worn out.

Born in this mortal world, he is very different from others, unable to enjoy the tastes of the world, unable to touch the sunshine of the city, when he wakes up, who knows the moment of panic and helplessness.

He won't look at himself and complain, he clearly has a tsunami in his heart, but he can stay calm.
