Chapter 18 Lin Chenghe
From a distance, she saw a huge figure standing at the door of the paper shop looking around. Seeing Bai Xiao coming, Lin Jian ran over three steps and two steps.
"Bai Xiao, you're here."
"Uncle and aunt have arrived?" Bai Xiao said unexpectedly as he watched Lin Jian run outside to greet him.
"Well, my parents are waiting for you inside. Come and go in with me."
Then, with Lin Jian, Bai Xiao walked into the door of the Lin family's paper-making shop. As soon as she entered the door, she found that the originally messy paper-making shop was actually sorted out a little cleanly. It seemed that Lin Jian had put some thoughts into welcome the arrival of her parents.
"Bai Xiao, this is my parents." When Lin Jian came to the backyard, he brought her to a man and a woman.
"Hello, uncle, aunty, you guys." Bai Xiao smiled and went forward to say hello.
Only then did she look at Lin Jian's parents carefully. She had already known the name of his parents from Lin Jian's mouth before. The man in front of him who looked handsome and had a calm breath should be his father Lin Chenghe, and the woman next to him who was in his early forties and still charming was his mother Wei Jiamin.
Bai Xiao was a little surprised. Of course, it was not because Lin Jian's parents actually had the temperament of a superior. To be honest, Bai Xiao had seen the world and had seen many so-called superiors. Of course, she would not be surprised because of this. What really surprised her was because when she came to Lin Jian's parents just now, she felt a faint pressure coming to her face.
Fortunately, a warm current surged in her body in time, which quickly resolved the pressure. But the momentary reaction also made her know something. Lin Jian’s parents were indeed not simple, and this was her first reaction.
At the same time, Lin Chenghe, who was secretly looking at Bai Xiao, was also slightly surprised. He really didn't expect that his son's friend was such a flawless piece of jade. After his own slight test, he really tested something. If he had a little simplicity in the future, he would become a great person in the future.
"It's not bad, I have such spiritual pressure at a young age, but your spiritual power is not free enough, and there are too many crude and complicated things, so I should not have undergone regular training." Lin Chenghe smiled and took back the test, looking at Bai Xiao with a warm face.
"Uncle Lin is too rewarded." Bai Xiao's natural expression did not change and replied with a polite smile.
Lin Chenghe's eyes lit up and he looked at Bai Xiao with deep meaning.
Lin Jian on the side was a little confused. Just now, he seemed to sense a different atmosphere, that feeling... it was like the temptations of martial arts masters when they met. Finally, I would like to say a few unfathomable and humble words, and a wave of commercial hypes, which makes me feel very good.
At this time, Lin Jian's mother Wei Jiamin came up with a smile and said enthusiastically: "Don't stand, let's go into the house and sit down and chat slowly." As he said that, he winked at Lin Jian.
In fact, when Concubine Xiao entered the door, Wei Jiamin's eyes fell on her. Seeing her decent appearance, fresh and handsome, she thought to herself that she was such a handsome handsome boy. Then she looked at her son next to her. After a while, she became more and more bloated, and she would not get angry.
Lin Jian was confused, so he was stared at by his mother inexplicably and reacted: "Yes, let's not stand here and go into the house."
Several people entered the house one after another. After sitting down, Wei Jiamin brewed a cup of tea for Bai Xiao.
Tea is the best Longjing. After brewing, the green leaves are fluffy and intact. With the faint heat, you can smell the fragrance of tea. But obviously, neither Bai Xiao nor Lin Jian’s mind is on the tea.
"Xiao Jian has told us what you encountered yesterday."
Lin Chenghe spoke first, and saw Bai Xiao and Lin Jian pricking their ears, he confirmed: "About this matter, Xiao Jian's mother and I have a preliminary judgment, and it should be a spiritual scholar. Of course, we have to investigate the specific situation on site before we know it."
"Dad, what do you mean is that Bai Xiao and I really hit a ghost yesterday?" Lin Jian twisted his chubby body and said in a little horror.
Mom, it’s really a terrifying thing to hit a ghost.
Seeing this, Wei Jiamin frowned slightly and said in a blameful tone: "Look at you, I don't know if you are more steady when you encounter something. When you encounter something, you are busy and forget your sense of duty. What big thing can you accomplish! I forgot how my mother taught you before? I'm still a big man!" As he said that, he looked towards Bai Xiao, "It's not as steady as Bai Xiao!"
Lin Jian shut up. He wanted to be steady, but he had no goods in his hands and felt unconfident and could not be steady.
He glanced at Bai Xiao sitting upright on the side, and he secretly said convinced. Sure enough, what my mother said was a little reasonable. Judging from how steady Bai Xiao was, there was no sign of panic at all.
Comparing goods requires throwing away goods, and people have to die. What I fear most is to compare himself with the children of the neighbors. Now Bai Xiao has become the child of the neighbors as his mother calls him.
Of course, Wei Jiamin's words sounded strange in Bai Xiao's ears. What does it mean to be less steady than Bai Xiao? The key is that he added the sentence before, "I'm still a big man." It gives Bai Xiao the feeling that he is blaming Lin Jian for being too rash, but in the whole context, it seems that he is saying that Lin Jian is a big man, not as steady as her girl.
Anyway, I don’t know if I’m too sensitive, so I lie down and shoot a gun. Bai Xiao felt a little depressed and ambiguity, which is definitely ambiguity.
Of course, this topic passed quickly. Wei Jiamin first criticized his son and was angry at him. Then he said kindly: "Actually, don't worry too much when encountering such a thing. Lingshou is actually not a big deal, but it is only rare in normal times. This time your father and I came here specifically to deal with this matter."
As he said that, he signaled Lin Chenghe. At this time, Lin Chenghe took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the side, and looked at Bai Xiao and Lin Jian with a smile: "Generally speaking, there are traces to follow. As the saying goes, there are causes and results. All things in the world are caused by causes and effects. As long as there is causes, there is a way to resolve them. This is not difficult, so you don't have to worry too much."
"By the way, Bai Xiao, Xiao Jian said you met a paper-breaker driving the night before yesterday, and the paper-breaker intended to murder you?" Lin Chenghe suddenly looked at Bai Xiao.
"Yes Uncle Lin." Bai Xiao answered truthfully. Then he described what happened that night in detail.
After hearing this, Lin Chenghe pondered for a moment and looked at Bai Xiao and said, "That's the critical point that it was that pocket watch that saved you. Bai Xiao, if you can trust your uncle, can you show your pocket watch to your uncle? Of course, if you think it's not suitable, you can also refuse."
"Of course!" Bai Xiao did not hesitate at all. This behavior surprised Lin Chenghe slightly, and then nodded slightly.
In fact, Bai Xiao really has nothing to worry about. If it were yesterday, she herself was eager to find out the secret hidden by the pocket watch. With an acquaintance like Lin Chenghe, a father like Lin Chenghe, who helped find the answer, of course she would not be able to ask for it. But now, although she has changed her original intention and wanted to keep the secret, it coincidentally that the phoenix in the pocket watch has been integrated into her body and has become an ordinary pocket watch, so she is not afraid that Lin Chenghe will see anything.
It seemed that she was not open and honest enough to hide it. She simply took out her pocket watch generously and neatly and handed it to Lin Chenghe.
Lin Chenghe took it from Bai Xiao, immediately took it in his hand and looked it carefully, then handed it to Wei Jiamin's hand, and asked her to check it carefully. After a while, the two exchanged their eyes, and Lin Chenghe understood and said, "Bai Xiao, if you guessed it wrong, you should be from the Bai family in the capital."
Bai Xiao was a little surprised: "Uncle Lin, how do you know?"
Lin Chenghe smiled, and did not answer directly, but asked, "Who is Bai Sihong you?"
"He is my grandfather." Bai Xiao could hear his grandfather's name from Lin Chenghe's mouth.
"Interesting, you are actually Bai Sihong's grandchild."
"I don't know if your father is Bai Zhendong, the second son of the Bai family, or the eldest son of Bai Zhenye? I remember that Mr. Bai's youngest daughter is still young, and obviously she can't give birth to a child as old as you."
Bai Xiao was even more surprised. Unexpectedly, Lin Jian's father Lin Chenghe knew not only her grandfather, but also her father, uncle and sister-in-law. In this way, it should be considered the old friend of her Bai family.
"My father Bai Zhendong." Bai Xiao said seriously.
"Are you his child?"
Lin Chenghe looked at Bai Xiao seriously and muttered: "I didn't expect that Brother Zhendong still has a seedling like you."
Then he nodded: "But no wonder, since you are Bai Zhendong's son, then all this makes sense. If I was not wrong, this pocket watch should have been blessed with a spell for protection. The night before yesterday was the spell that was inspired to save you from the hand of the paper-killer."
Seeing Bai Xiao’s face appearing confused, Lin Chenghe explained: “The curse is a spell that the spirit controls blessing objects in a special way. You can understand it as a kind of Taoist technique. The most famous one is the talisman technique of Zhengyi of Longhu Mountain, which is a spell carved on the talisman paper.”
"The same is true for your pocket watch, but generally the curse that is blessed on the objects is a one-time thing and will be invalid afterwards." Lin Chenghe nodded and handed over the pocket watch carved by the phoenix to Bai Xiao's hand. "If you take the pocket watch back, this is already an ordinary pocket watch, but it should be good to keep it as a souvenir."
Bai Xiao nodded silently.
Lin Chenghe’s remarks are reasonable and convincing.
If it weren't for the involvement of her transformation, and there was also the matter of Phoenix, she would definitely believe it.
