Chapter 442
"Guest officer, would you like some side dishes?" The boss hurriedly greeted the big guest, "We still have a jar of frozen fish in white soup. I just got it today. Would you like to try something new, guest officer?"
"It's rare to have something like this in the countryside. Let's get a portion. Be careful, divide it into small pieces of half an inch square, make sure the slices are thin, and coat the front and back with new chili powder." The man in hemp shirt urged.

It is really unusual to eat so carefully at a roadside stall.Everyone focused their attention, and Yang Yizhao and Xiao Yezi couldn't help but look sideways at this person.

I don’t know if I don’t look at it, but I’m startled when I see it.Startled, Xiao Ye Zi hurriedly turned her head to cover her face with her hands, and said in a low voice, "It's Shopkeeper Bai."

"The one from Tao Fei's house?" Yang Yizhao was also a little surprised, "No wonder it looks familiar. It seems that Tao Fei is indeed rich, and even the housekeeper lives so delicately. But..." He quietly glanced at the shopkeeper Bai again, " But why is he dressed so plainly... as if he just attended a funeral."

"It's only three or five miles away from Baijiazhai, and the shopkeeper's surname is Bai. There must be a reason for appearing here. Should we follow him?" Xiao Yezi suggested.

Yang Yizhao hadn't responded yet, but suddenly he heard the sound of hooves not far away, and in a short while, a dozen young men in white rode their horses to the stall.Just as Xiao Yezi was about to turn her head to see who Fang Sheng was, Yang Yizhao pressed her shoulders and said anxiously, "Don't look back. Don't make a sound."

Little Ye Zi knew something was wrong, so she kept her expression on the table, just lowered her head to eat the noodles, and at the same time did not forget to listen carefully.

Shopkeeper Bai said, "Is this Miss Ye?"

A female voice remembered: "That's right. My master saw that shopkeeper Bai hadn't returned for a long time, and was afraid that shopkeeper Bai would encounter any trouble on the way, so he ordered Lingxiao to come to meet him."

Shopkeeper Bai laughed: "Master Xiao is being paranoid, I just came to pay homage to my son."

The female voice was calm: "At present, my master has to worry too much. I also ask shopkeeper Bai to go back as soon as possible, so that everyone can rest assured."

Shopkeeper Bai said coldly: "Understood. Let's go now."

After a while, the sound of horseshoes turned from near to far.The alarm was finally lifted, Xiao Yezi and Yang Yizhao both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Unfortunately, we can't catch up." Xiao Yezi sighed.

Yang Yizhao comforted: "Even if you can catch up, you can't go. Don't think that Lingxiao is younger than you, it's really difficult to fight. What's more, she has so many masters around her."

Xiao Ye Zi said: "Of course I know. Thanks to Shopkeeper Bai, I thought of a way to spy on the information. Let's go without delay."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ye Zi got up and went to the noodle stall owner to settle the bill hastily.When she came back, she was carrying a bunch of paper bags in her hand.Looking at the oil oozing from the corner of the paper bag, Yang Yizhao knew that the inside of the paper bag was cooked meat, so he couldn't help but tease: "Okay, you, treat me to dinner and don't want to spend money, buy yourself snacks It’s a big deal.”

Xiao Yezi smiled and said angrily: "It works. You will know in a while."

The two got on their horses, speeded up, and arrived at Baijiazhai in a short time.

"This village... looks even more ordinary than the last one." Yang Yizhao looked around at the surrounding unremarkable scenery, and said, "You see, the road at the entrance of this village is almost blocked by weeds, thanks to the memorial archway , otherwise you won’t be able to tell which village it is.”

Xiao Ye Zi didn't respond in time, walked to the roadside at the entrance of the village, bent down and knelt down, stretched out her hand to pick among the weeds by the roadside for a while, raised her finger, and twisted out a small grass mixed with purple in variegated colors, and held it in her hand to watch for a while , then said: "Not exactly. Although it looks messy on the surface, it can still be seen that there is a master of medicinal materials hidden here—" She showed the grass to Yang Yizhao, "I heard from Ye that this Ziyan Strains are a very rare type of medicinal material with strong medicinal properties, so they cannot coexist with surrounding plants. However, they are very fragile and sensitive, and cannot be taken care of separately, otherwise they will die easily. Therefore, people who are not capable of herbal medicine cannot cultivate them You can see that there are many half-purple and half-green purple swallows growing from this grass, and there are other medicinal materials growing in the surrounding area. Although the quality is not as good as pure purple, the variety is obviously improved. So I It is concluded that there must be an expert in this Baijiazhai."

Yang Yizhao smiled and said, "Although, I still have to say that your six months in Yingxiaju were really worthwhile."

"Diligence is an ordinary person's best friend." Little Ye Zi was praised by him, and she smiled shyly, but she didn't forget the business, she stretched out her hand and pointed not far away, "Look, there seems to be someone worshiping at Caodianzi, let's go and see Look."

Yang Yizhao hummed: "It's not easy to walk in the overgrown grass. I'll explore the way ahead, and you follow me."

The two walked through the meadow with difficulty one after the other, and came to the cemetery.Xiao Yezi took a cursory glance at the several tombstones that passed by, and found that all the names written on them were of the Bai family, and there were very few foreign names. It seemed that this area was the cemetery of Baijiazhai.

Yang Yizhao also walked slowly among the tombstones, and suddenly saw one, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stretched out his hand to summon Xiao Yezi.

Xiao Ye Zi came in a hurry, glanced at the words on the tombstone, and couldn't help being a little surprised.

Tomb of Aiko Shiraju.Father Bai Shanli.

There is still a complete sacrificial ceremony in front of the tomb, and it seems that someone has just come to worship.

The person who came to pay homage to the white tree might be the shopkeeper Bai.

What is the relationship between Shopkeeper Bai and Baishu?
Could this be the reason why Tao's uncle came to Baijiazhai?
What is the connection between the white tree and the prison in Yuehua City?
In an instant, doubts flooded in, making Yang Yizhao fall into deep thought.

He was still in deep thought, but Little Leaf coughed, spread the cooked food he had brought in front of the tomb, and worshiped devoutly according to local customs.

Yang Yizhao was a little puzzled, but when he raised his head and met scrutinizing gazes from different directions, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately understood Xiao Yezi's intentions, and hurriedly bent down to worship with Xiao Yezi.

When they stood up again, although the eyes of the villagers still had a trace of inquiry, they were much softer than before.

A white-haired old villager came over and asked gently: "Are you also here to worship the white tree?"

"Yes." Xiao Ye Zi hurriedly replied, "My family has received the favor of Mr. Bai Shu in the past. Today I happened to pass by here, thinking of Mr. Bai Shu, so I came here to pay respects for my family."

"Hey, Baishu is really a good person. It's a pity that good people don't get rewarded. It's really hard life." The old villager sighed, "It's hard work for you to come from a long way. All the people who come to the village are guests, come in. Have a cup of tea."

The two followed the villagers into the gate of the village.The old villagers took them to the grass pavilion at the entrance of the village, arranged for them to sit down, boiled a pot of water and made tea for them.

"Thank you, Uncle." Xiao Yezi took the teacup with both hands respectfully, took a sip according to the custom, and was delighted to see that the old villagers didn't intend to drive them away, so she seized the opportunity and asked, "Uncle, you just said that good people are not good What does newspaper mean?"
