Although Bai Baishan pretended that he was doing it for Bai Yitang's good and not intervening in the children's grievances, Cao was still a little angry.

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

Isn't that the hatred of the sky?

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 away from her hometown, she has also heard that it is the farthest and most dangerous exile place. It is said that only the most vicious people will be exiled there.

Beheading and killing body, exile and killing heart, in fact, exile to Qiongzhou and beheading are not bad, but as a parent, her husband still has an attitude of letting the children make trouble, which makes Cao very angry.

Unable to bear it, he grabbed the flesh on his waist and twisted it around.

An old man and a young wife, Bai Baishan has always doted on her, although the flesh on his waist was twisted and hurt, but he insisted on not changing his expression, instead he comforted her: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I think that kid is doing well in Qiongzhou , you see, he gave up his job for more than ten years, not only accepted a good apprentice, but also married a wife, isn't that all a good thing?"

"Can this be the same?" Cao said angrily, "They say you are partial to Yitong, but I see that you are clearly partial to Yihong and Jingjing. If this matter were left in our ordinary family, if brothers and sisters dared to make such a fuss, parents would fight They can't be killed."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Cao paused, and said in a depressed 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 his parents and brothers, and hurriedly explained: "You really misunderstood me. This is the world, and it is different from the general situation."

Cao turned around and said nothing.

Bai Baishan grabbed her shoulders and explained carefully: "Don't look at that kid being exiled, he has high martial arts skills, not to mention that the imperial court can't send yamen servants to keep an eye on him all the time, even if they do, he can't keep an eye on him. If he wants to No one can stop him when he leaves Qiongzhou."

"Qiongzhou is cold and bitter for others, but not for him. Even if he doesn't leave, he won't feel sad there with his ability. For example, my family collects a little grain from the field every year, but we can afford fine grains and meat. Egg, you can also buy various medicinal materials to nourish your body, where did the money come from?"

"hunt?"

Bai Baishan nodded, "I want to support you, so the family can't save money, but that kid is alone, what kind of good life can he want? It's easy for him to leave Qiongzhou and come back to seek revenge from his senior brothers and sisters. Who can stop him?" Keep him, that's why I said don't worry about it. If I take care of him, when he asks his senior brothers and sisters to settle accounts later, he will have to take care of his senior brothers and sisters, otherwise he is really partial."

"But he's a prisoner," Cao Shi still couldn't turn the corner, "Even if he left Qiongzhou, he escaped, so he can't hide his name?"

Bai Baishan smiled, "If the crime was serious and heinous, he would naturally have to hide in Tibet, but he has a good reputation in the Jianghu, and he is also well-known among the common people. At most, he can only hide his name, but this is really not a big deal for us Jianghu people."

Maybe others find it difficult to hide their names, but they really don't care about it, especially their Lingtianmen. They don't even know who their parents are, and their names are just code names.

Didn't Yihong and Jingjing just say they changed their surnames? That's why the child in Yitang was stubborn and insisted on holding the surname "Bai".

But the surname does not change, but the first name can be changed. There are so many people with the surname Bai in the world, how can the people in the yamen check them out one by one?

"Yihong and Jingjing were also punished. For Jianghu people, abolishing martial arts is more painful than killing their lives. They all lost their internal strength and will be detained here for a lifetime. The suffering is no less than that of Yitang."

"Yes, but why do I have to give them food and drink after listening to the class?"

For Cao, eating less and drinking less is the most painful thing in the world. How can martial arts and freedom compare with survival resources?

In her opinion, Bai Yitang's exile in Qiongzhou meant that he was deprived of survival resources, which was a great enmity; and when it was Ma Yihong's and Miao Jingjing's turn, they just lost a skill, they still had hands and feet, Bai Yitang also planted the land for them, and even gave them food to eat. This is simply a model of repaying evil with kindness.

Bai Baishan looked at his wife with black eyes, not knowing how to explain to her that for people like them, survival resources are already a very trivial need, but freedom and the martial arts they depend on for survival are more important.

Of course, his two apprentices are also very afraid of death, otherwise when Bai Yitang wants to abolish their martial arts, they should kill themselves if they feel angry, lest they have to suffer for the next few decades.

Having enjoyed riding horses and galloping, being proud of the world, being abolished in martial arts in the prime of life, trapped in one place, and spending the rest of my life reminiscing and regretting, how can it not be bitter?

But Bai Baishan looked at his wife, looked at the puzzlement in her eyes, and thought of her tolerance towards others, he couldn't help but feel stagnant. No matter how hard they were, they were no less than one-tenth of Cao's. Even Cao's was tolerant and optimistic, and they And why should we all complain and hate God for being unfair?

Bai Baishan thought, if they could really correct their mistakes and change from the heart, he might still be willing to plead with Yitang for them and forgive them, what a pity...

Let's see the future.

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

Mrs. Cao pulled the blanket up to cover herself, looked at Dabao lying beside her and thought to herself, how could it be so simple, let alone that she still needs to bring Dabao, just say that the two of them will live together in the future, how could she not ignore them?

The human heart is complicated and sinister. She has already verified it with half her life's experience, and she really doesn't have the courage to try it again.

They feel at ease in framing the junior and younger brothers who grew up together since childhood, so how can they expect them to have deep affection for her, a teacher and wife who came out halfway?

And their flat attitude in the past two months also shows this point.

Cao couldn't help but reached out and touched Dabao's chubby face, she couldn't help but feel soft, forget it, she will be more on guard in the future, with her husband around, they will never dare to frame her too, the right is for Dabao.

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

They both look similar in appearance, they are both old men and old women, but in fact, Bai Baishan is about twenty years older than Cao Shi, and two years older than her father.

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

It's like Bai Yitang, with a fair and beardless face and a handsome face. Although he has never been carefully maintained, he is blessed with profound internal strength. He looks only about thirty years old.

And Cao is just an ordinary peasant woman. She was the most relaxed when she was a girl for the first fifteen years, but she also helped the family take care of the young brother, went to hunt pigweed, washed clothes, cooked and cleaned, and went to work in the fields when she was older. , doing no less than the older brother, or even more.

But after getting married, she needs to do more. Her mother-in-law is unkind, her husband is weak, and her family is almost supported by her alone, but even so, she is not in a good position.

Because of overwork, she had two children before she realized it. When she was pregnant with the third one, she tried her best to keep it for five months, but she accidentally lost it because of her mother-in-law's torture, and she could not conceive again .

The husband who had always been cowardly and incompetent and relied on her for his life suddenly straightened his back and divorced her on the grounds of "no child".

But her parents couldn't support her, and the brothers still wanted to marry her to an old widower to earn another dowry money.

When Bai Yitang "visited" his apprentice from the capital and returned to Xinghua Village, he met the desperate Mrs. Cao. Not to mention that he was still angry at that time, he would usually take care of such things.

But at that time, he was just a good man who knew how to hunt, and had nothing to do with Bai Baishan, the former head of the Lingtian sect who was a man of justice.

Instead, he took in Cao Shi who escaped from the house, and built her a thatched hut near his house, and helped her stop one or two when her brothers came to arrest her, and gave her one or two to replenish her body after hunting prey. Occasionally throw her a small bag of rice noodles to keep her from starving to death.

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

The two hardly communicated directly, but always you help me, I help you, no matter how many gossips in the village, they turned a deaf ear to them for two years.

Two years later, after he finished paying off the landlord's "debt", Bai Baishan suddenly lost his goal and began to become lazy. Then he saw Cao with his head down sitting in the sun mending clothes for him, and he impulsively proposed to her up.

And Cao Shi also naturally complied.

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

He started to hunt harder to make money, just to hire a doctor for her, buy medicinal materials for her to recuperate her body, and let her have fine grains and meat for every meal;

When he decided to come back, he took her with him naturally, never thought about running away to death, let alone leave her quietly and leave, even if he knew something was wrong, he would still bring her into this world.

Now that this step has been achieved, Bai Baishan will naturally make arrangements for her future.

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

It would be fine if she died first, he would go to her after finishing her funeral, if he left first, that would be fine, and he would be able to feel at ease when he called Yitang and entrusted her to Yitang.

Although he will be neighbors with the eldest apprentice and second apprentice in the future, Bai Baishan really hasn't thought about them, let alone wronging his old wife because of them.

Ma Yihong and Miao Jingjing didn't know that they were labeled as "unusable" and "not to have close friendship" by their master and mistress once they were unfaithful, and they appeared in the flower hall with a face in the morning the next day.

Li Baolu and Qin Wenyin prepared breakfast, and when they saw their greetings with smiles on their faces, their expressions became even more ugly.
