Chapter 105 Past
It was almost dawn when Bai Xi and the others arrived at the hospital.

Everyone sat outside the ward with their heads hung, looking discouraged. Boss Zhang frowned and tapped the floor with his crutch, "The person is still alive and well, how come he has no energy at all?" His words were filled with anger.

Everyone raised their heads when they heard his words, and they were finally relieved to see that they had returned safely.

Zhang Zihan walked over and called out, "Grandpa." He glanced at Zhou Shijun beside him.

"Mr. Zhang." Zhou Shijun greeted politely.

"Why are you with them?" Zhang Zihan asked curiously.

"This is a long story, let's talk about it later." Boss Zhang said for him.

After he finished speaking, he walked to the glass window outside the ward and looked at Lin Rui who was lying inside. "Boy, if you dare to abandon your sister, I will never let you go." He felt sorry for these young people, and he tried hard to hold back the tears in his eyes.

The red mark on Bai Xi's neck was still obvious. "Why is your neck all red?" Xu Weilin's tone was full of worry. "Does it hurt?"

Bai Xi shook her head, "It doesn't hurt." She walked over to Mother Lin and squatted down, "Can I go in and see him?"

Mother Lin stretched out her hands and stroked her face, saying with concern: "You have suffered, go in and accompany Lin Rui." Lin Weiping next to her did not say anything this time.

"Thank you." She stood up, walked to the nurse, put on sterile clothes and went in.

She bit her lower lip and walked to the bedside. After a moment, she sat on the stool beside it. She looked at him quietly, her eyes full of sadness.

"I, I know my biological father's name." She whispered, wanting to share her story with Lin Rui. But Lin Rui on the bed didn't react at all, "His name is Zhang Yuheng."

Mother Lin walked to the glass window and looked inside. She couldn't hear any sound from inside, but she saw Bai Xi's mouth moving slightly.

"My name is Zhang Yirou. My father hopes that I can be just, gentle and kind." Her lips trembled as she spoke. Her eyes were wet with tears. She couldn't see Lin Rui's appearance on the bed. "But he, he..."

No matter what she said, she couldn't get a response from Lin Rui. She was not used to it. In the past, no matter what happened, Lin Rui would keep making noises beside her. Although she always treated him coldly at that time, she didn't find him annoying. But now that he didn't give her any response, she felt uncomfortable.

"Get up, get up and talk to me." She couldn't stop crying, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, "I want to hear your voice." She said loudly and softly, "My father left before I came."

Although people outside couldn't hear the sound inside, they could see her crying, and the two mothers couldn't help but shed tears.

"Lin Rui, get up." Bai Xi's voice became smaller and smaller. She lay sadly beside his bed. "Get up! Didn't you say you would stay with me?"

She lay there sobbing
It was already light outside, but even though the sunlight shone into the hospital, everyone's hearts were still shrouded in a layer of gloom.

When the doctor came to check, he saw everyone standing outside waiting and asked, "What's going on?" He looked inside and withdrew his hand that was about to open the door. He wanted to wait a little longer.

However, at this moment, Lin Rui slowly raised his hand and placed it on the head of Ji Feng who was lying there, "Bai Xi." He called her name with difficulty.

Bai Xi immediately grabbed his hand and raised her head, "I'm here." Her tears kept flowing, "I'm here."

When everyone outside saw him wake up, they finally felt relieved and the sun finally shone into everyone's hearts.

The doctor walked in with a slight smile. He said softly, "I need to check on the patient. Can I go out for a moment?"

Bai Xi gently let go of Lin Rui's hand, and they looked at each other. "Don't cry, I'm back." Lin Rui smiled at her, and her mood changed a lot at this moment.

"Family member, please step out for a moment." The nurse urged her.

Bai Xi was extremely reluctant to leave the ward.

As soon as she left, Xu Weilin hugged her and comforted her, "Girl, be good."

They waited outside for a while, and the doctor came out of the ward and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, you can be transferred to the general ward tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, thank you, doctor." Mother Lin thanked.

The doctor exchanged a few words with Boss Zhang and then left.

"Thank you all for your concern for our son. You all must be tired after not getting enough rest all night. Thank you for your hard work." Mother Lin looked at everyone gratefully and said, "Go back and have a rest."

"You should go back and rest too. Lin Rui still needs your care." Xu Weilin said, putting her arm around her shoulders.

"Well, thank you." Mother Lin said with a smile.

"Then let's leave first." Zhang Lao said, "Zhang Zihan, you and your sister follow me."

Even though Lin Rui woke up, Bai Xi was still worried. She looked inside with fear and couldn't hear Boss Zhang calling her.

"Bai Xi, grandpa is calling you." Zhang Zihan walked up to her and whispered.

"Oh." Bai Xi responded.

Xu Weilin watched Boss Zhang and the others leave, feeling an indescribable emotion.

"Aren't you going back with them?" asked Mother Lin.

She smiled and shook her head, saying, "They are busy."

"It would be great if Lin Rui could marry into your family." said Lin's mother. When Lin Weiping, who was standing nearby, heard that his son was going to marry into your family, he became even paler than before with fright.

"The young people have the final say in this matter. It's not something we old people can decide." Xu Weilin likes Lin Rui very much.

"That's right." After Lin Rui woke up, Lin's mother felt much more relaxed.

Boss Zhang brought Zhang Zihan and others back home, while Wei Feng went out to take care of some things.

Only Zhang Lao Da, Zhang Zi Han, Bai Xi, and Zhou Shijun were left at home.

Boss Zhang went to the kitchen to make tea himself and did not allow anyone else to help.

The three people in the hall were sitting there. Bai Xi was absent-minded, Zhou Shijun was somewhat restrained in front of the boss, and Zhang Zihan was teasing the kitten next to them.

"What happened to you?" Zhang Zihan asked them while playing with the cat.

"Zi Han, come and sit down." Boss Zhang made the tea and the housekeeper was responsible for bringing it out.

After distributing the teacups to everyone, the housekeeper left the living room and went to the courtyard outside to take care of the furry children.

"Sister, do you still remember about my father?" asked Boss Zhang.

Bai Xi shook his head.

"Grandpa, why are you suddenly asking about Bai Xi's family?" Zhang Zihan asked puzzledly.

"This is what we are going to talk about next." Zhang Lao said. He looked at Zhou Shijun, and Zhang Zihan also looked at him strangely.

Bai Xi took out the sword Zhou Shijun gave her. Zhang Zihan looked at the sword in her hand and saw that it was a little different from her usual swords. "What sword is this?" "It belongs to my master, Bai Xi's father." Zhou Shijun said.

Zhang Zihan was surprised when he heard Bai Xi's father, "What's going on?"

"My master's name is Zhang Yuheng, a swordsmith from the Ming Dynasty. He has a daughter named Zhang Yirou."

Ten years ago, eleven-year-old Zhou Shijun was often bullied, so he went to a martial arts gym on the recommendation of a friend. At first, he just went there out of curiosity and had no intention of paying to register.

Because his friend told him that there was a very strange master in that martial arts gym. As long as he took a liking to a promising candidate, he would not charge any tuition and would teach the candidate a lifetime of martial arts.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shijun was spotted by the master at first sight just by visiting him. After some discussion, Zhou Shijun agreed to become his disciple and learn martial arts.

This expert is Zhang Yuheng.

When Zhang Yuheng is not in training, he is very friendly and always smiling. But when he is in training, he seems like a different person. He is very serious and strict and will not tolerate Zhou Shijun's laziness at all.

Over time, he treated Zhou Shijun like his son, buying him all the good things, rewarding him as long as his martial arts improved, and often helping him solve various problems. However, Zhou Shijun never understood why Zhang Yuheng always felt lonely and sad every time he stood by the window and looked into the distance.

He doesn't like people asking him about his personal affairs, especially about his family, because he will get furious.

When Zhou Shijun was eighteen years old, Zhang Yuheng brought Xiao Yusheng to where he lived. Zhou Shijun happened to be there that day, and he found what he heard about their conversation very strange, not like what we would talk about.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

After Xiao Yusheng left, Zhou Shijun couldn't resist his curiosity and asked about him.

I thought he would be angry, but unexpectedly he sighed and talked about his past calmly.

Both he and Xiao Yusheng traveled through time from the Ming Dynasty. At that time, they were in the same organization and were already brothers. They did not expect to meet again in this era and were very moved.

Before Zhang Yuheng traveled through time, he was a swordsmith. All the weapons in an organization were forged by him, including Bai Xi's sword. Over time, he naturally became a member of the organization, but he never participated in any actions of the organization, even though he had superb swordsmanship.

He originally had a happy family of three. One night when his daughter was two years old, he came home late from a meeting. Thinking of apologizing to his wife, he bought her favorite candied haws and brought them home. Unexpectedly, because of his late return home this time, an accident happened at home which became a lifelong shadow for him.

That night, horse thieves were rampant and looting in the suburbs, and anyone who dared to resist was killed without mercy.

When he returned home, the door was open and the house was brightly lit. He felt more and more strange. All the chickens at the door had been killed. He immediately ran back home and saw his wife lying in a pool of blood, dying.

The gourd in Zhang Yuheng's hand fell to the ground. He grief-strickenly hugged his wife who was lying in a pool of blood, "Xiao, Xiaorou was, taken, by, a, horse, horse, thief." She died before she could finish her words.

He hugged his wife and cried bitterly.

After receiving the news, the organization rushed to his home, but it was too late.

After crying bitterly, he gently put his wife back on the ground and said, "I will never let the horse thieves go."

"Brother Zhang, where is Xiaorou?" Han Yin, the leader of the organization, couldn't find his daughter anywhere.

"He was taken away by horse thieves." Zhang Yuheng's eyes were filled with anger and turned red. He took out his sword from his waist, displayed the sword, and rushed out of the house.

He ran all the way to the horse thieves' den with the sword in his hand. He was completely filled with hatred and his consciousness was devoured by the sword. He killed anyone he saw in the den. Those horse thieves were no match for him at all and fell one by one in a few seconds.

In just two hours, the den of thieves was flooded with blood and no one was left alive. He searched the entire mountain but could not find his daughter anywhere.

He had killed his enemies, his wife was dead, his daughter was nowhere to be found, and his heart was dead too. He stood on the edge of the cliff, still holding the blood-stained sword.

When Han Yin arrived, he looked back at him and said, "Xiao Rou, please find her back." He then jumped off the cliff without hesitation.
When he woke up, he was already in the modern era.

When Zhou Shijun was 20 years old, Zhang Yuheng entrusted him with the sword and said, "If you can meet my daughter, I hope you can give this sword to her."

"Why don't you give it to her yourself, Master?"

"I am going to die soon."

"Why? Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhang Yuheng smiled and shook his head, "He's coming."

"Who is it? Who is coming?"

"Protect this sword and don't let anyone take it away." Zhang Yuheng said and let him go back.

Two days later, Zhou Shijun went to where Zhang Yuheng lived. He was already dead, without any scars on his body.

Just when he was sad, someone sneaked into the house, knocked him unconscious when he was off guard, searched his body and took away Zhang Yuheng's sword. In his daze, he saw the figure of that person, it was Xiao Yusheng.

"This is my master's life experience." Zhou Shijun briefly explained, "The autopsy report said that he committed suicide by taking poison."

"Why does Xiao Yusheng want your master's sword?" Zhang Zihan asked.

"I once heard him say that there was some unknown secret hidden in the sword."

After he said this, everyone looked at the sword in Bai Xi's hand with even more curiosity.

Bai Xi also studied the sword in her hand. In fact, she was not interested in the secrets in the sword. She just wanted to know how her father felt when he made the sword, and even the grief he felt when he used the sword to kill his enemy.

She looked at the blood on the hilt of the sword and couldn't help but hold it tightly, but her heart still felt uncomfortable.

"I believe that it was my master's arrangement that allowed me to meet you at school, give you the sword, tell you about my master, and fulfill his wish." Zhou Shijun felt like he had completed a mission.

"Thank you." Bai Xi thanked softly.

"Mr. Zhang, where did you take Xiao Yusheng?" Zhou Shijun asked.

"A friend of mine." Zhang Lao said. "Do you still want to seek revenge?"

Zhou Shijun shook his head. "Although I really want to kill him, my master said that I cannot avenge him. I just need to give the sword to his daughter."

"I want to go and pay my respects to him." Bai Xi said.

"Master must be very happy." Zhou Shijun said with relief.

"Wait, why are you so sure that Bai Xi is your master's daughter? Why is your master so sure that you can give the sword to his daughter? There is a difference of hundreds of years." Zhang Zihan asked puzzled.

"Bai Xi looks a lot like Master. He said his daughter has a mole on both arms." Zhou Shijun said. "My Master said he would give her to me if I was lucky enough to see her."

Zhang Zihan glanced at Bai Xi and saw that she did not deny the mole on her arm, so he guessed that this was the case.

"We all have the surname Zhang, so we are family. It seems like it is fate and destiny has its own arrangement!" said Old Master Zhang.

Even though Zhang Zihan believed Bai Xi a little bit through her expression, it was a bit outrageous that someone suddenly said he knew her sister's father and was a time traveler. He still maintained an attitude of half-believing and half-doubting.
