Although Bai Baishan looked like he was doing it for the sake of Bai Yitang and was not good at meddling in the grievances between the children, Mrs Cao was still a little angry.

   In her heart, even going to the yamen is a big thing, let alone exile in Qiongzhou?

   Isn't that hateful hatred?

   At this moment, she understood why Bai Yitang didn't give Ma Yihong and Miao Jingjing a good look, and locked them in the Lost Forest.

Although    Qiongzhou is far from her hometown, she has also heard that it is the farthest and most sinister place of exile. It is said that only the most vicious people will be exiled there.

   Beheading and killing the body, exiling the murderous heart, in fact, exile to Qiongzhou and beheading are not bad, and as a parent, her husband even let the children make trouble, which made Cao annoyed.

   couldn't help but grabbed the flesh around his waist and twisted it.

Old husband and young wife, Bai Baishan has always spoiled her, although the flesh on his waist was twisted and it hurt, but he didn't change his face, instead he comforted her: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I see that boy in Qiongzhou is doing well. , you see that he threw away his work for more than ten years, not only accepted a good apprentice, but also married a daughter-in-law, isn't this a good thing?"

"Can this be the same?" Cao shi said angrily, "They said that you are partial to one church, but I see that you are clearly partial to Yihong and Jingjing. If this matter is left to our ordinary family, and brothers and sisters dare to make such a fuss, their parents will fight. They can't be killed."

  Speaking of this, Mrs Cao paused and said in a low mood: "Not necessarily, eccentric parents will always find reasons for them, and maybe they will help them."

   Bai Baishan knew that she was thinking of her parents and brothers, and hurriedly explained: "You really misunderstood me, this is a river and lake, and it is different from the general situation."

  Cao turned over and said nothing.

Bai Baishan grabbed her shoulders and explained in detail: "Don't look at that kid being exiled, his martial arts are high, let alone the imperial court can't send yamen to always stare at him, even if he does, he can't keep an eye on him, he wants to think about it. No one can stop him when he leaves Qiongzhou."

"Qingzhou is cold and bitter to others, but not to him. Even if he doesn't leave, he won't be sad there because of his ability. For example, my family receives that little grain from the fields every year, but can afford refined meat. Egg, you can buy all kinds of medicinal herbs to replenish your body, where did the money come from?"

   "Hunting?"

Bai Baishan nodded, "I want to support you, so I can't save money at home, but that kid is alone, what kind of good life does he want? It's easy for him to leave Qiongzhou and come back to find his brother and sister for revenge, who can stop him? I live with him, that's why I said I don't need to. If I manage him, when he looks for his senior brother and senior sister to settle accounts, he will have to face his senior senior sister and senior brother, otherwise, it will be really partial."

   "But he's a prisoner," Cao Shi still couldn't turn around, "Even if he left Qiongzhou, he escaped, so he shouldn't be anonymous?"

  Bai Baishan smiled, "If the crime is extremely sinister, naturally he has to hide in Tibet, but he has a good reputation in the rivers and lakes, and he also has a good name among the common people, at most he is only anonymous, but this is really not a big deal for us people in the rivers and lakes."

   Maybe others find it hard to be anonymous, but they really don't care about it, especially their Lingtianmen, they don't even know who their parents are, their name is just a code name.

   Yihong and Jingjing just said that they would change their surnames, and they were just stubborn and insisted on holding the surname "Bai".

   But the surname is not changed, but the name can be changed. There are so many people with the surname Bai in the world, how can people in the yamen check the past one by one?

   "Yihong and Jingjing were also punished. For Jianghu people, it is more painful to abolish their martial arts than to kill their lives. They both lost their internal skills and will be imprisoned here for the rest of their lives. The suffering is no less than that."

   "Yes, but why do I hear that I have to give them food and drink after one session?"

   For Mr. Cao, eating less and drinking less is the most painful thing in the world. How can martial arts and freedom be as important as survival resources?

In her opinion, Bai Yitang's exile in Qiongzhou means that he has been deprived of survival resources, which is a great hatred; and when it was Ma Yihong and Miao Jingjing's turn, they just lost a skill, and they still have hands and feet. Bai Yitang also planted land for them, and even gave them food to eat.

  Bai Baishan looked at his wife with a black line, and didn't know how to explain to her that for people like them, survival resources were already a very meticulous need, but freedom and the martial arts they depended on for survival were more important.

   Of course, his two apprentices are also very afraid of death, otherwise when Bai Yitang wants to abolish their martial arts, if they have some heart, they should kill themselves, so as not to suffer the torture for the next few decades.

  I have enjoyed riding horses and galloping, proud of the rivers and lakes. When I was in my prime, I was abolished in martial arts. I was trapped in one place, and I spent the rest of my life on memories and regrets.

But Bai Baishan looked at his wife, looked at the puzzled look in her eyes, and thought of her tolerance towards others, and he couldn't help but feel a stagnation in his heart. No matter how hard they were, they were not one-tenth of Cao's. Cao was tolerant and optimistic. And why do you hold grudges and hate the injustice of God?

  Bai Baishan thought, if they can really correct their mistakes and correct them from the heart, he may be willing to ask for a favor with Yitang for them and spare them, but it's a pity...

   Let’s look to the future.

   Bai Baishan patted her on the shoulder and said, "If you can't get over the hurdle in your heart, you can ignore them in the future, and just take your treasure with you."

Mrs Cao pulled the blanket up to cover herself, looked at Da Bao lying beside her, and thought to herself, how could it be so simple, not to mention that she would bring Da Bao, but to say that the two of them would live together in the future, how could she not ignore them?

  The human heart is complex and sinister. She has verified it with half a lifetime of experience, but she really doesn't have the courage to try it again.

   They still feel at ease with their younger brothers and sisters who grew up together, how can they hope that they will have a deep and righteous relationship with her, a teacher who came out halfway?

   And their lackluster attitude these two months shows just that.

   Mrs Cao couldn't help but reached out and touched Dabao's chubby face, and her heart softened. Forget it, she will be more vigilant in the future. With her husband around, they would never dare to frame her, and the right should be for Dabao.

  Cao was immersed in thinking about his future, but Bai Baishan was thinking about Cao's past.

  The faces of the two of them look similar, they are both old men and old women, but in fact Bai Baishan is twenty years older than Cao's and two years older than her father.

   But he has practiced martial arts since childhood and has deep internal skills. Although he has been running around in the rivers and lakes, he has never been short of food or drink, so he looks young, only fifty years old.

   is like Bai Yitang, with a white face and beardless, handsome face, although he has never been carefully maintained, but with the blessing of deep inner strength, he looks only about thirty years old.

And Mrs. Cao is just an ordinary peasant woman. In the first fifteen years, being a girl was the easiest, but she also helped her family with her younger brother, scavenging hogweed, washing clothes, cooking and cleaning, and working in the fields when she was older. , does no less or even more than the older brother.

   But after getting married, she needs to do more, her mother-in-law is unkind, her husband is cowardly, and her family is almost propped up by herself, but she didn't end up well.

Because she was overworked, she gave birth to two children before she realized it. When she was pregnant with the third one, she worked hard to keep it for five months, but she accidentally gave it to her mother-in-law. .

   Always cowardly and incompetent, but her husband, who lives by her, suddenly straightened his back and divorced her on the grounds that he had no children.

   And her parents couldn't support her, the brothers still thought of marrying her to the old widower and earning another betrothal gift.

   Bai Yitang had "explored" his apprentice from the capital and when he returned to Xinghua Village, he met the desperate Cao Shi, not to mention that he still had anger in his chest at that time, he would usually take care of this kind of thing.

   But at that time, he was just a good hunter, and he had nothing to do with Bai Baishan, the former head of Lingtianmen, who was a chivalrous person.

Instead, he took in Mrs. Cao, who had escaped from the house, and built a thatched hut for her near his house. When her brothers came to catch her, he helped her to stop one or two, and he came back after hunting and sent her one or two to replenish her body. Occasionally throw her a small bag of rice noodles to keep her from starving to death.

   And Cao also reciprocated, helping him to sew clothes, make some shoes and socks, help him clean up the courtyard, sell wild vegetables, and spend money to buy him some wine after sewing.

   The two of them hardly had any positive communication, but you always helped me and I helped you. No matter how much gossip in the village, they turned a deaf ear for two years.

Two years later, he paid off the landlord's "debt". Bai Baishan suddenly lost his goal and began to become lazy. When he saw Mrs. Cao sitting in the sun with his head down and sewing clothes for him, he begged her on a whim. .

   And Mr. Cao naturally responded.

   Their union is not earth-shattering, and their relationship is not imperative, but after more than ten years of mutual affection, the two have long been inseparable from each other.

   He began to hunt harder to make money, just to invite a doctor for her, buy medicinal herbs for her to recuperate her body, and let her have refined grains and meat for every meal;

   When he decided to come back, he naturally took her with him. He never thought of dying, let alone leaving her to leave quietly. Even if he knew something was wrong, he would bring her into this world.

  Since this step has been achieved, Bai Baishan will naturally arrange her future.

  Although there is a big difference in age between the two, in general people who practice martial arts live longer than ordinary people, so the time of their death should not be too different.

   If she died first, it would be good, he would go to her after taking care of her funeral. If he left first, it would be fine. When the time comes, he can call Yijing and entrust her to Yijing, and he can feel at ease.

  Although he will be neighbors with the eldest apprentice and the second apprentice in the future, Bai Baishan has never thought about them, let alone wronged his old wife for them.

   Ma Yihong and Miao Jingjing didn't know that they were labeled "unavailable" and "unable to have a deep friendship" by their master and wife after one infidelity, and they appeared in the flower hall with a face early the next morning.

   Li Baolu and Qin Wenyin were ready for breakfast, and when they both greeted with smiles, their expressions became even worse.
