The killer sister from the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 14 The Escaped Lightning

The sky outside was covered with dark clouds, and then began to thunder and lightning, and gradually a strong wind blew, beating on the windows of the house.

Zhang Zihan was working in the living room with a laptop, and Bai Xi was standing at the door, as if waiting for the heavy rain. This weather reminded her of the night of the assassination.

"It's going to rain heavily outside, don't go out." Zhang Zihan looked at Bai Xi who was standing at the door from time to time and told her, lest she get too hot-headed and rush out.

Before the words fell, it began to rain cats and dogs, the thunder became even more deafening, and the lightning seemed to split the sky in half, which was terrifying.

Taking advantage of Zhang Zihan's inattention, Bai Xi ran outside. She imagined that, just like the scene that night, let the thunder strike her again, maybe she could go back.

She desperately ran towards Lightning, but Lightning seemed to have its own consciousness, insisting on avoiding her, chasing after me, the farther the better.

"Master, Miss ran outside without an umbrella." A maid rushed in to report.

What Zhang Zihan was worried about happened all the time, and he ran out without hesitation without an umbrella.

This villa area is indeed huge. In this violent storm, he would lose his way. How can he find it? He called her name in a hissing voice, "Bai Xi."

But the sound of the rain completely covered his voice, he didn't know which direction Bai Xi was running to, and now he felt a little dazed looking around.

He was running in the heavy rain, surrounded by vast rain, "Bai Xi." Even if he saw it or not, he still called her name vigorously.

When he was tired from running, he stopped to rest in the rain for a while, his whole body was soaked and his head seemed a little heavy, but he still insisted on going to find Bai Xi, he was really afraid that something would happen to her.

He looked up and found that there seemed to be something wrong with the lightning in the sky. Why did it seem to be running away to avoid something? It didn't have the unpredictable trajectory before. Why is it flashing so regularly now?

So he ran in that direction, maybe there would be some new discoveries there.

Standing in the rain, Bai Xi was really speechless in the face of the lightning escaping from her. It was the first time she saw the lightning escaping from her at such an age, "Let me go back." ' With a sound, the sky seemed to respond to her: Don't even think about it.

Zhang Zihan's head hurt as he ran, he saw Bai Xi looking at the sky in a daze, "Bai Xi." He called out, and when Bai Xi turned his head back, his vision was darkened and he fainted on the ground.

"Master, master?..." Tang Butler stood beside Zhang Zihan's bed, bent over and called to him worriedly.

"Calling, screaming, it's so noisy." Zhang Zihan lay on the bed, his eyes were still frowned, and he was very dissatisfied with Tang Butler.

"Master, how are you feeling now?" Tang Butler was very worried when Zhang Zihan fell ill in the rain.

Zhang Zihan opened his eyes, but his head still hurt a little. He looked at the butler beside him with a look of disgust on his face, "Why am I lying here? Aren't I looking for Bai Xi outside? Where's Bai Xi?"

"Master, you fainted in the rain, and it was Miss who came back with you on her back."

At that time, the wind and rain were so raging, and Bai Xi was so thin, how could she have the strength to carry herself back? He felt ashamed when he thought about it, and he fainted from the rain.

He covered his head with the quilt, "Go out."

"Then I'll put the medicine here, you can take it yourself later." Tang Butler tidied up the medicine and teacup next to the bed, and was walking to the door.

"Wait, where's Miss?" He stopped Butler Tang.

"Miss is in the room."

"Oh!"

After Tang Butler went out, he closed the door softly, just as Bai Xi came over, "Miss, the young master is awake."

Bai Xi nodded, her eyes are not as fierce and murderous as before, but more gentle.

She pushed open the door and went in, Zhang Zihan, who covered her head with a quilt, shouted angrily: "Don't bother me."

She went over to pull back the quilt and looked down at Zhang Zihan who was curled up in a ball, "What are you doing?" When she learned that Bai Xi carried her back in the heavy rain, she already felt ashamed. He thought it was Tang Butler who came over again, so she asked Thinking of scolding him again, she turned her head away, and it was Bai Xi who stood in front of him, feeling even more ashamed.

"What are you doing here? Go back and rest." Zhang Zihan's ears were flushed, possibly due to a fever.

"Thank you." She knew that he chased him out because he was worried about herself, and he got sick.

When Zhang Zihan heard her thank you, he said in surprise, "Thank you, I'm your brother." Although there was no expression on his face, his heart was already full of joy.

He sat up, "Come and sit down." He patted the edge of the bed, and Bai Xi sat down beside him obediently. "Why did you run out, don't you know it's dangerous to run out like this?"

She lowered her head, not looking at him.

"Can you tell me about it?"

She thought for a while, and said: "When I was sent here, it was also in this kind of weather. When I was dueling with the guards, I woke up and appeared here after being struck by lightning."

"So you're thinking of going back the same way?"

Bai Xi nodded and stared at the floor.

"Hahahahahaha." Zhang Zihan laughed wildly after hearing this, "Are you stupid? It's good to be able to go back, but what if you can't go back? What if you get electrocuted? Have you ever thought about this problem?" While still smiling, he instantly scowled at her fiercely.

During the whole process, Bai Xi neither dared to speak out nor looked him in the face, and let him speak.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha" Zhang Zihan suddenly laughed again, "You are really good, the lightning will avoid you, and you are the only one who is the most powerful!!!" I don't know whether he is praising or mocking, the corners of his eyes are covered with laughter There are tears.

"Don't mess around like this next time, you know?" Zhang Zihan spoke softly, and put his hand on her head.

The eyes of Bai Xi, who had been silent all this time, were already wet with tears, and she was sobbing with her head lowered. The aggrieved, uncomfortable, and longing for everyone during this period of time can't help but flow out, and tears flow like a fountain. stop.

Her crying actually frightened Zhang Zihan, he was completely at a loss, "What's wrong? I...I don't mean to blame you."

She shook her head vigorously, "No."

The pressure and injuries she has endured since she was a child are several times that of her peers. She does not know who her parents are or her name. She has been bullied by other children since she was a child. When she fights back, she is chased and beaten by the children's parents. , She doesn't know what family affection is, and she doesn't even know what affection is. She often lives a life of hunger and cold without a meal.

Until he met his elder brother Bai Ye, he took her in and cooked a table of delicious dishes for her. That day she cried, wailed, and cried out all the hurt and grievances she had suffered. age.

Bai Ye gave her a surname and a first name, and also gave her warmth and family affection. He loved Bai Xi very much, treated her like a family member, taught her to read and write, and taught her to practice martial arts for self-defense. Later, he met Han Ling, and later he met Master Li. , that time was her happiest day.

Until Bai Ye was beheaded by the court for her sake, she didn't cry because her brother wasn't around, so she didn't dare to cry. After that, she gradually hid her heart, and no longer lived freely like Bai Ye was by her side.

After a few years, she cried again, crying like a child, taking off her armor in front of Zhang Zihan, fully showing her truest self.

"I'm sorry." Bai Xi recalled his attitude towards him during this period, and apologized to him full of guilt.

"Fool, what are you apologizing for? I'm your elder brother!!" Zhang Zihan guessed that he would be so gentle and tolerant to others one day, "Okay, okay, don't cry, be good." He seemed to be coaxing He coaxed her like a child, and wiped her tears with a tissue.

"Promise me, don't do such dangerous things in the future, everything is destined, everything has a destiny, you will come here, it must be God's special arrangement for you."

"Yeah!" Bai Xi nodded in agreement with a choked voice.

Zhang Zihan turned his head to look at the crying sister, couldn't help but smiled, and said: "So you still cry? I was still worried about whether you have no feelings. It seems that my worry is unnecessary."

Although he was joking, he was considerate when he should be considerate. He gently held her hair: "Okay, stop crying. When God wants you to go back, you can't keep it no matter how you want. If he doesn't want you When you go back, no matter how many ways you have, it will be in vain, so, live for me, live a wonderful life, and live in this era without leaving any regrets."

"Hmm!!" She remembered what Zhang Zihan said, "I used to be afraid that after being by your side for a long time, I would develop feelings. I was afraid that when I went back one day, I would only add too much emotion to myself and affect my work." She was trying, trying to open up to him.

"Silly boy, who knows what will happen in the future, right? The most important thing for us is to live in the present."

"I, I... I don't know how to take the first step." Bai Xi looked at him shyly for a while, then lowered his head again.

Looking at her expression, Zhang Zihan felt that she was too cute, and was amused by her, "Try to talk to the people around you more and keep smiling?"

"But there is no common discourse." Bai Xi naturally knew her own shortcomings. She was not from this era, so she didn't know what everyone could talk about, and she didn't know what topics modern people usually talk about.

"How did you chat with your companions before?"

She shook her head, "Do you believe it, I have never seen my companion's true face, and my companion has never seen my true face."

He looked at her dubiously, could there be such a miraculous thing, the partners who worked together did not know the appearance of the other party.

"We wear night suits all day and only take them off when we go to sleep."

Zhang Zihan remembered that when he saw her for the first time, she was indeed wrapped tightly, so he believed her words, "Then when you don't usually wear night clothes, you pass by outside and you don't know each other?"

"Well, the organization protects our privacy very well, and is afraid that our personal information will be leaked, or that there will be a betrayal."

"Your organization is very thoughtful. Unlike now, there is no such thing as privacy for our personal information." Zhang Zihan found it ridiculous when he thought about it, "Then you don't have anyone to chat with?"

"The companions in the organization usually talk about topics like martial arts."

Although chatting with her like this is just talking about ordinary topics, nothing special, he can realize from her words that she is actually a very interesting girl, maybe life has suppressed her, "then your brother died After that, how did you live?"

Bai Xi was silent for a while, "After that, the leader and Master Li arranged for me to live in the backyard of the organization. They really cared for me and treated me like a family member. It's just that after my brother passed away, I began to hide myself. "

"Who is that leader and Master Li?"

"A friend of my brother's."

"It's great that your brother has these two friends!" Zhang Zihan could hear the words in an envious tone.

"Well, they're really nice. Although they sometimes quarrel because of differences of opinion, they will soon reconcile as before." Bai Xi talked about his nostalgia for that time.

"It's worth it for your brother to have a sister like you." Anyway, Zhang Zihan envied their relationship very much. If he could have such a brother, he might die without regret.

"Son, Tang Butler said you were sick. Let me see if it's serious." Xu Weilin heard her voice outside before opening the door. As soon as she opened the door and came in, she saw Bai Xi sitting there with red eyes. There, "You kid, have you bullied Bai Xi?" He went over and patted his head.

Being beaten for no reason, Zhang Zihan felt aggrieved, "Mom, I am your son, and I am still sick. If you beat me without asking, is there any justice?"

"Hmph, it's unreasonable for you to bully Bai Xi." Xu Weilin must have overprotected Bai Xi, and maybe she was pitiful to her. If she knew that Bai Xi knew martial arts, she didn't know how she would react.

"I didn't bully her."

"Really? Did he bully you?" Xu Weilin asked Bai Xi again to confirm.

"Brother didn't bully me." Bai Xi finally called him, and Xu Weilin didn't expect her to answer her at all.

Zhang Zihan and Xu Weilin were like winning the lottery, they were so excited that they couldn't speak for a while, but Bai Xi didn't know what was going on with them, and looked at ease.

In the martial arts office, Wu Junle sat there alone with a sad face, as if he was worried about something.

Suddenly the screen behind him lit up, and a short-cut man with a black mask appeared, "Jun Le, how did you think about what you said earlier?"

Wu Junle got up and sat on the chair behind, looked at him seriously, and said, "Please allow me to refuse."

The man on the screen paused and frowned, as if he was particularly dissatisfied with his answer, "I heard that a newcomer has arrived?"

"Well, it's a potential stock."

"Follow up to report and bring it back to the organization for examination."

He stood up anxiously, "No, only her, no."

"Jun Le, do you know what your current behavior is?"

Wu Jun couldn't make a sound, and sat back on the chair again.

"Jun Le, you've changed." The man's tone seemed to be gratified, but also a little disappointed, "You can take care of yourself." After speaking, the man turned off the screen, and Wu Junle fell into deep thought.
