The Wheel-Turning Master.

Chapter 37 Invitation

Hairpins are used to tie up hair and are worn by both men and women.

Rich families use jade or gold hairpins, while poor families use wooden hairpins. Women's hairpins are more colorful, while men's are much simpler.

This black wooden hairpin looks like a small firewood stick, which is suitable for people like Lin Bai who weave mats and sell shoes.

"How do I use it?"

I tried to pry it open with a little force, pinched it with my fingernails, and inputted internal force, but there was no reaction at all.

I thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

The words left on the cicada's wing said it could save his life, and Lin Bai was always a man who listened to others' advice, so he simply took off his hairpin and replaced it with a black one.

"I won't be able to eat steamed buns anymore. I won't be able to eat them during the day or at night..."

Lin Bai looked down at his palm, then clenched it, as if savoring the moment.

He first went to the kitchen and checked the rice and flour stove, then went back into the house and looked it over carefully.

There was no sign of any strangers, everything was normal.

He closed his eyes, emptied his mind, and walked to the stone plate.

Everything remains the same as before, except for the green streams of yesterday.

Although she fooled Sister Zhen away, she seemed to have really gotten what she wanted.

"Although Sister Zhen didn't discover my true identity, her problem was solved at least, and my secret was not exposed."

"Also, does Pei Ning doubt me?"

When I was taking Xiuxiu's pulse today, I casually said the four words "peace and joy", which must have been heard by Pei Ning outside the door.

If Pei Wuyong really has some connection with Pei Ning, then Pei Ning would probably be concerned.

"Does Pei Ning like to eavesdrop? He walks silently..."

Lin Bai reflected silently and felt that it was still his own problem.

Ever since I dealt with Mu Zhen's matter last night, I felt less tense. And seeing that Pei Ning did not investigate the deaths of Pei Wuyong and Jiang Rong, but was instead focused on reorganizing the wealthy family, I finally relaxed a little.

Moreover, I have always treated Xiuxiu as my younger sister, and I am not restrained in my words when talking to her.

"You still need to be careful about what you say and do."

Lin Bai sat down again and thought about Pei Ning.

There is no doubt that his strength at this moment is inferior to Pei Ning's.

Especially her lightness skill, which was almost silent. This must have been something she had practiced since childhood and she must have been extremely talented.

However, judging from the way she handled the affairs of the rich, she first went to the nine families to persuade them, and only took drastic measures after that was in vain.

Afterwards, they took precautions in advance, killed the intruders, and then confiscated their property...

From this we can see that Pei Ning is a very meticulous person with no scruples, dares to kill and is not afraid of the consequences.

What's even more outrageous is that she was promoted to the position of director of the government office, and everything she did was to help the poor people.

Lin Bai was not a vicious person, and he was influenced by Doctor Bai every day, so he would not do anything like assassinating Pei Ning. Of course, he could not beat him either...

"How to deal with it?"

"Pei Ning does things in a methodical way. If he suspects me, he will definitely test me. I just need to be careful."

After Lin Bai made a plan, he cleared his mind and practiced Wuji Gong.

With the help of Mu Zhen's elixir, his limbs and bones seemed to be cleansed, his meridians were unobstructed, and even slightly widened.

Wuji Gong is about to reach the fifth level.

Lin Bai circulated his internal energy throughout his body, without any distractions.

When it was dawn, Lin Bai opened his eyes and exhaled.

Wuji Gong has entered the fifth level, where yin and yang merge and unite within the dantian.

Its majestic momentum reached a new level, and the dragon and tiger were combined, and the yin and yang were at will. It was indeed a great method. Lin Bai circulated another cycle, straightened out his internal energy, and then stood up.

After washing up, he changed his clothes and took out the throwing knife.

There were originally six swords, two of which were given to Ren Biao, four were used in the ambush in Huaxi River, three were picked up, and only one was lost in the river.

Now there are only three swords left, Lin Bai hid two in his right sleeve and one in his left sleeve.

The two hands had long been trained to be as one, and both hands could draw the sword with no difference.

Most people are right-handed, there are also left-handed people, but very few are ambidextrous.

The flying knife is your back hand, and the flying knife in your left hand is the back hand of the flying knife in your right hand.

There were no more cicadas chirping on the jujube tree in the yard. Lin Bai picked a few dates and ate them while going out.

Yesterday, Xiuxiu said she wanted to eat pig's trotter, so Lin Bai took a detour and bought a freshly braised one.

"You are a good guy."

As soon as they arrived at the clinic, Xiuxiu was already waiting. When she saw the oil paper bag in Lin Bai's hand, she immediately jumped forward.

"Are you feeling better, Mr. Bai?" Lin Bai handed the things to Xiuxiu.

"Much better. I drank porridge, took medicine, and just went to bed." Xiuxiu was very happy. "I also left some food for you. Go and eat it."

Seven days passed after that without any abnormalities.

Pei Ning never came to the clinic again, and he just sat in the court, overturning several cases. For a time, everyone in Huaxi County was shouting "Blue Sky".

Lin Bai was happy with this. He saw patients during the day and practiced martial arts at night. He seemed to be enjoying a leisurely life.

When Lin Bai went out this morning, he saw the red dates at home. After arriving at the clinic, he invited Xiuxiu to go pick dates with him.

Xiuxiu was naturally very happy. She brought a sack with her and even found the bamboo pole she used to catch cicadas to use for picking dates.

At noon when there were fewer people around, the two of them went to Lin Bai's house together.

Opening the door and entering the yard, Lin Bai knocked with a bamboo pole, and Xiuxiu bent over and picked up the things on the ground.

The two of them worked happily for more than half an hour and picked fifty or sixty kilograms of dates.

If someone takes care of it specially, an old date tree can yield hundreds of kilograms of dates.

However, there was more rain this year, so the fruit is not selling at a high price.

After distributing some to the neighbors, Lin Bai kept only five or six pounds and carried the rest to the clinic on his back.

Whether you sell them or dry them into dried dates, they will be great.

"When I was sick, I drank some medicine and my grandfather gave me some sweet dates to eat."

Lin Bai was walking in front carrying a sack. Xiuxiu was chewing dates in one hand and holding Lin Bai's clothes with the other, mumbling to herself.

There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, with a few strands of messy hair stuck to it, but she didn't care and just kept smiling.

"After a few days, when the weather is a little cooler and the jujubes are ripe, we can go to the mountains to pick wild jujubes to eat."

Xiuxiu seemed to be getting excited. "There are also persimmons! I know there is a place on Tianlang Mountain where there are several persimmon trees. No one takes care of them, and all the red persimmons have been pecked away by magpies. I am so heartbroken. Grandpa won't let me pick them. Let's go pick them and take them home in a few days!"

"..." Lin Bai glanced at her and saw that her little face had a little baby fat. He thought, I hope this girl doesn't grow up to be fat.
When I returned to the clinic and just put down the sack, I saw a pretty maid coming to the door.

This was the one Lin Bai met when he first went to the county government office.

"Your Excellency asks Miss Xiuxiu to go to the county government office." The maid glanced at Xiuxiu, then bowed to Doctor Bai before speaking.

"What's the matter?" Doctor Bai was not very happy about Xiu Xiu getting too close to Pei Ning, especially since Pei Ning had been so successful recently.

"The noble lady has obtained a rare herb, but doesn't know how to decoct it. He would like to ask Miss Xiuxiu for advice." The maid smiled.

Lin Bai didn't believe it at all, but Doctor Bai believed it, and Xiuxiu also believed it.

"I see. Then Xiuxiu should go there." Doctor Bai stroked his beard, thought for a while, and then agreed.

"Also," the maid held the handkerchief and looked at Lin Bai again, saying, "Your Excellency also asked Lin Bai to turn around... Doctor Lin will go with you."
