At this moment, locksmith Bai Chi's thoughts have returned to that terrifying and unforgettable night six years ago...

The dark sky seemed to be heavily smeared with endless thick ink, without even the glimmer of stars. The night fog came, and the midsummer night was a bit cool. Under the hazy moonlight, few stars could be seen. The sky was not pure.

Black, but there is an endless deep blue in the black, stretching into the distance...

"Chi'er, my parents are going on a long trip to a relative's house. If it's fast, it will take a week, if not, it will be a month. You have to take good care of your sister at home and don't make us worry. You are already an adult, do you understand?"

Looking at his father's kind yet anxious face and his mother's slightly frightened eyes, thirteen-year-old Bai Chi nodded fiercely and held his ten-year-old sister Bai Lin tightly in his arms.

"Dad, Mom, aren't our relatives in Baijia Village? Where are you going?"

There was a hint of complicated guilt in the mother's eyes, and she couldn't help but hold the Baichi brothers and sisters tightly in her arms, shouting:

"His dad! Can't we not go? The child is still young..."

"Shut up, this is the fate of our Bai family. If we don't go, can't we let our children go? Stop talking, we just want to come back as soon as possible. Everything depends on God. Do you think there will be something that our Bai family can't handle?"

"

A trace of ferociousness flashed across the face of his father, Bai Shaoting. Under the light of lightning in the rainy night, he looked extremely terrifying, which made the young Bai Chi feel scared. His father turned to look at Bai Chi, stretched out his hands, and held the Bai Chi brothers and sisters tightly.

Holding him in his arms, he whispered into Bai Chi's ear and said in a voice that only he could hear.

"Son, remember what Dad said now: The old ancestral hall of the Bai family, on the left against the wall, seven, seven, forty-nine. If your parents don't come back and you encounter a problem that is difficult to solve, go to the ancestral hall of the Bai family to find the answer! Remember what your father said,

Only you can know this matter. Even your mother and sister are not allowed to tell you. You have grown up and you have to have your own opinions! Keep practicing the two ancestral skills. Remember, remember..."

Although thirteen-year-old Bai Chi seemed confused and confused, he still nodded firmly and said:

"Mom and Dad, don't worry. I will take good care of my sister while you are away. I am already an adult."

My younger sister Bai Lin was only ten years old at the time and didn't understand anything. She was nestled in her brother's arms and looked blankly at her busy father and mother. She only knew that her parents were going away from home and she had to listen to her brother's words from now on. She would cry instead of crying.

Bai Chi watched as his parents took out a bunch of hemp rope from a quaint iron box under the bed, as well as an engineer shovel, a flying tiger claw, a dagger and other things and put them into a large travel bag.

I still don't understand what's the point of bringing these things with me when I'm just visiting relatives? Baichi has never seen these things before. I don't even know where this big box was hidden in the past.

In the dark night, my parents went into the night and never came back. Six years passed in the blink of an eye. A year after their parents left, the old village chief of Baijia Village reported Baichi's parents missing, and they have been missing ever since.

news.

In order to take care of his sister, Bai Chi set up a stall repairing locks under an old locust tree in Yaodian Town, relying on his pitiful income to maintain his and his sister's studies and life.

Although his parents left behind some savings when they left, the young Bai Chi understood the principle of sitting on his hands and having nothing to gain, so he has insisted on setting up a stall in Yaodian Town for six years without interruption.

The strange thing is that the Baichi brothers and sisters who became orphans did not receive any care from the villagers of Baijia Village. The only thing was that the old village chief came to ask about it once a month after their parents disappeared, and then nothing happened. It seemed that everything was taken for granted.

People in Baijiacun seem to think that the disappearance of their parents is a normal thing.

At a young age, Bai Chi asked many villagers, and the answer was only three words: I don't know! From the faces of uncles and uncles in the same village, Bai Chi found that things were definitely not that simple, but he still couldn't get the answer.

A year ago, Bai Chi stopped going to school after graduating from high school. He devoted himself wholeheartedly to setting up a stall under the old locust tree in Yaodian Town to earn money to support his younger sister and keep her in education.

Originally there were two locksmiths from Baijia Village in Yaodian Town, but they never appeared again after Baichi took up residence under the old locust tree. It was said that they went to a distant place. In fact, Baichi vaguely guessed in his heart that this was Baijia Village.

People take care of themselves. This may be a special way.

Therefore, the huge Yaodian Town has only one locksmith since last year, and that is Baichi! That handsome and ordinary young man.

At the same time, all the men, women and children in Yaodian Town also knew that under the old locust tree in the east end of the town, there was a young locksmith. The locksmith was called an idiot. He had a pair of fair and slender hands, as beautiful as a woman's, and a pair of bright

Ruoxingchen’s black eyes...

"Brother, it's time to eat."

The girl's clear cry interrupted Bai Chi's quiet contemplation. A smile suddenly appeared on his suffocatingly calm face. Looking at his sister Bai Lin standing next to him, Bai Chi stood up and rubbed her sister's head dotingly.

Said with a soft smile

"Didn't I ask you to review your homework at home? Why are you here to deliver food to me again? I can just buy a big cake in the town. The village is several miles away from the town."

"Brother, aren't we on vacation now? I have nothing to do anyway. You eat big cakes every day, which is not good for your health. Making money is important, but your health is more important. Now only brother and I depend on each other."

Bai Lin stared at Bai Chi with her big eyes and replied, with a hint of mist appearing in her eyes.

Seeing his sister who had grown into a big girl and her eyes that cared about him, Bai Chi's eyes could not help but turn slightly red.

My sister Bai Lin is sixteen years old this year. She is really a big girl, and I know she feels sorry for her brother. Looking at my sister Bai Chi, I feel like I can see the shadow of my mother.

My mother is a very beautiful woman. In Baichi's impression, my mother seems to be a little out of place in the small mountain village. Although she wears the same clothes and accessories as ordinary rural people, no matter what kind of clothes she wears, she looks very generous when she wears them. Even

It can be said to be one kind: noble?

Bai Chi was young and ignorant before, but now he finally understands that the temperament his mother was born with is called nobility, and that kind of innate elegance is not something ordinary people can possess.

The strange thing is that the beautiful mother married a seemingly ordinary father. Now that I think about it, how incredible it is. Is it really that kind of power of love?

My younger sister Bai Lin seems to be carved from the same mold as my mother. She is equally beautiful and seems to have a kind of nobility in her body. Although she is still young and a little green, her eyebrows, her figure, and the look in her eyes

His natural charm makes Bai Chi, the eldest brother, feel his heartbeat sometimes.

Suppressing the strangeness in his heart, Bai Chi sighed softly. Although she is not his biological sister, she can't think too much!

My sister has grown up, and it is obvious that she is a beauty at such a young age. The same troubles have also come to her doorstep. Children in rural areas get married early. Baichi has rejected countless matchmakers from all over the country this year who came to propose marriage. Reasons for rejection

It's not that I have any selfish motives.

The strange thing is that the young people in Baijia Village seem to be indifferent to the beauty of their sister Bai Lin. No one even takes a second look. Those who come to propose marriage are from nearby villages, and even several families from Yaodian Town five miles away come to propose marriage.

.But Bai Chi rejected them all on the grounds that her sister was young and had to persist in her studies.

Seeing her brother staring at her with that strange look, Bai Lin couldn't help but roll her eyes, rolled her eyes at her brother, blushed, and said with a sweet smile:

"Brother, what are you looking at? Eat quickly, the food will be cold later."

Bai Chi blushed and nodded slightly. Before he picked up the food brought by his sister and put it into his mouth, he heard the sound of bang bang on the stone road in the distance. Bai Chi knew who was coming without looking, because the footsteps were so real.
