It's the same old shop.
Yiyan was handling the skeletons in the second-floor booth with plastic gloves. The smell of the potion was mixed with the smell of rotting meat. The girl beside him stood on the sink and rolled up his sleeves to wash the tools.
Always smiling, there was an unhealed wound on his right face. From the corner of his eyes to his chin, it was ferocious and scary. It should have been a special medicine. Although it was not bandaged, it could be seen that it healed quickly.
However, such a large wound can be considered disfigurement. He is very attractive and handsome. He belongs to that kind of gentle type of man. It would be a pity to have a scar.
Bai Yu looked at his face in surprise. He didn't know that the wound was done by the wind, and he didn't see a word appear after Wang Xiaoba was taken out that day.
Bai Yu looked at the wound and said, "Your face..."
"Ah, this." Yiyan saw him come and put down the work in his hand with a smile, and he took off his gloves and said not very concerned: "It's just a memorial left by an inappropriate temptation, a small wound, it will heal soon. ."
"..." Is this a small wound? !
But as a craftsman, Bai Yu has no doubt that a single word can heal his wounds without leaving a trace. He handed over the small box, "This is what Big Brother Wen asked me to send over. He said it was a reward."
"Well." Yiyan took the box and opened it, looking at it with a surprised expression, "This is really... a generous reward."
He closed the box and said to the girl behind him, "Xiao An, put this box in the cabinet below and make two cups of tea. I want to entertain this guest."
The expressionless girl nodded, dried her hands, ran over to take the box, went to the cabinet and squatted down, opened the bottom cabinet to reveal a safe and planned to put the small box down.
Then a row of precious materials were placed at random, but the small box given by Big Brother Wen was placed in the safe below, and Bai Yu couldn't help guessing what Big Brother Wen took out as a reward.
Hearing that he was going to entertain him, Bai Yu quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, I'm just running an errand."
"Haha, are you afraid of me? Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." Yi Yan smiled with a kind of maturity and precipitation that transcends time, with small wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, but he added a lot of approachability. It's boring here too, you came just to accompany me for a break, I don't know why I see your face very familiar."
He put his hand on Bai Yu's shoulder and politely took him to the living room downstairs. Bai Yu couldn't refuse such a gentle person, so he had to bite the bullet and sit down.
Yiyan sat down in a jacket and pushed the fruit bowl closer to him.
"What's your little friend's name? Seeing that you were very interested in my materials last time, are you also a craftsman?"
Bai Yu smirked, "My name is Bai Yu, I'm not a craftsman... I learned it by myself, my grandfather was, but he disappeared later."
"Missing?" Yi Yan frowned slightly, "The circle of craftsmen is small, and most of the famous ones know each other. Why don't you tell me and I'll see if I've seen your grandfather."
"Really?!"
Bai Yu was about to say something excitedly, but opened his mouth but held back.
He is not familiar with Yiyan, and Wang Xiaobaa and Big Brother Wen still don't want to get close to Yiyan, what if the other party is not a good person
What if you want to take his word and do something about it? !
Bai Yu didn't wait for his brain to finish, when the person on the other side suddenly burst out laughing, and said to Bai Yu, "You are so funny, you have written everything on your face."
"Are you worried about what I'll do to you? Hahaha, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." A joking and a serious answer: "My hands are covered in blood, but that's all Monster, I never kill anyone, never before and never will."
Bai Yu's face was hot, and he was embarrassed to look into his eyes.
"...You, hate aliens?"
"Hate? Hmm... I guess." Yiyan smiled and accepted, "Those alien races are not human, they can't integrate into our life, they will hurt the human race sooner or later. And they are powerful, if they don't want to abide by the rules of human beings, there will be How many people sacrificed their lives for this."
"But aliens are also good..." Bai Yu retorted in a low voice, because he remembered the umbrella that Xiaoba gave him and the dumplings he made. Even Big Brother Wen looked fierce and saved his life.
"There are good people and bad people in this world, and there must be good and bad people from other races."
Yiyan nodded with a smile, "You are right, but we can't tell who is good and who is bad, their existence is like a bomb to the human world, if I bury a mine in your house , tell you that it won't blow up, so you can really live in without fear?"
Bai Yu: "I..."
Yiyan leaned closer to Bai Yu and stared at him tightly and said, "Bai Yu, aliens are dangerous, you have to remember this deeply."
"Maybe the aliens themselves didn't realize it, maybe they didn't mean it, but once they go crazy, that kind of power is enough to destroy many happy families."
"Existence outside the rules is also unnecessary existence."
"The hearts of those who are not my race must be different, there are no exceptions."
Bai Yu: "..."
Bai Yu: I want to refute but don't know how to refute.
He clearly knew that what he said was not correct, but he couldn't think of any metaphors or other ways to explain it. Bai Yu rubbed his head and felt even more uncomfortable.
And Yiyan saw his discomfort, he sighed and sat up straight, his eyes and expression softened.
"Sorry, I said too much." He apologized softly.
"...It's fine." Bai Yu shook his head.
"This kind of topic is too serious... Let's talk about something else." Yi Yan smiled, "If you say your surname is Bai, then only Bai Cheng is the best fit among the craftsmen I know. Could it be that he is your grandfather?"
Bai Yu, who was planning to slip away, suddenly widened his eyes!
"Yes! Have you met him? Then you haven't met my father Bai He?!"
"It's really Teacher Baicheng's grandson."
Yiyan shook his head slightly, "I do know Teacher Baicheng, and I have studied with him for a while. Your grandfather is a very good person, very talented in refining tools, and he has been studying here all his life. I He has taught him a lot, and he is even half his disciple..."
"Really?" Bai Yu was overjoyed, but his next words were like a basin of cold water dousing him...
"He disappeared." Yiyan said, "I haven't seen him since 20 years ago. As for your father, I haven't heard Teacher Baicheng mention it."
"I've been looking for him over the years, but sometimes our line has to go to very remote places to collect materials, or to fight against many aliens. Someone told me that the last place where he appeared had found a very powerful alien..."
"Maybe… "
Maybe no longer alive.
Bai Yu's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Although he had prepared for this for so many years, he still felt that his heart was stabbed hard after hearing it.
His relatives are gone.
He was the only one left.
A pair of young hands reached out and pressed Bai Yu's hands on his knees.
Bai Yu looked up and saw that it was a word.
"Don't worry, I just said it's possible, don't worry, I won't stop looking for Teacher Baicheng." Yiyan's smile is very comforting, like an elder comforting a junior, giving people a stable sense of security.
Bai Yu's expression relaxed, pursed her lips and nodded.
Then they talked a lot more.
In a word, the knowledge from conversation to refining is excellent, and it is easy to capture a person's favor after putting aside the prejudice of those alien races.
The same is true for Bai Yu.
When he realized that they had talked about the evening with great interest, when he was hungry, he remembered that it was late.
"Sorry to bother you for so long." Bai Yu blushed and stood up and apologized repeatedly.
Yiyan also stood up, looked at him with crooked eyes and shook his head full of tolerance: "It doesn't matter, I just found out, by the way, Bai Yu, since you want to enter this line now and Teacher Baicheng is not here, why don't you learn from me and be my disciple? Bar."
"Ah?" Bai Yu opened his mouth wide open, "This, this is not good."
Craftsmen all want to pass on their craft to their own blood, and there is even a saying that it is passed on from men to women. Even if it is for his grandfather's face, he can't promise him to be an apprentice? !
"Huh? Don't you want to be my disciple?" Yi Yan frowned and looked a little sad, "How can I say that I'm also famous in the circle, so you don't want to?"
"No! I just think..." Bai Yu quickly explained, and then expressed the doubts in his heart.
After listening to the words, he smiled indifferently, "You also saw that my real age is actually much older than my appearance, but I don't have a wife and family by my side, and it is estimated that it is difficult to have any heirs."
"And you happen to have no family, and you are the grandson of Yucheng teacher who taught me... Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Bai Yu was very moved. Anyone who said 'a famous person in the circle' was probably just being modest. After all, those precious materials and the methods he saw that day, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a 'leader'.
But he hesitated.
One word... Should we believe it
At this time, his head suddenly had an idea and remembered the sentence Wen Fengjin said: If he proposes something, remember to promise him.
Damn, this big guy is so amazing, how does he know that Yiyan wants to take me as his disciple
Bai Yu was shocked in his heart for a long time. He put his hand on his shoulder. Because of the height, he bent down and smiled slightly to face Bai Yu. A few strands of hair that fell out of the braid on his forehead fell in front of his forehead.
"Promise me, Bai Yu."
Bai Yu gritted his teeth and nodded.
In an instant, his smile became more real, the corners of his eyes narrowed into fine lines, and when the corners of his lips curled up, the whole person warmed up, like an empty oil lamp being lit, and the whole person and the surrounding area became brighter.
"I'm very happy." Yiyan said, "I'm really happy."
Bai Yu was stunned by his smile, and suddenly became a little shy. After they chatted again, they sent him to the door in one sentence.
Bai Yu, who was about to turn around and leave, suddenly felt a warm palm pressing down on his head, rubbing his short hair.
He looked up and took his hand back in one word: "I'll wait for you to come again, Bai Yu."
"… "
Bai Yu, who had gone far away, looked back at the small shop in the busy city, with a smile that he hadn't noticed.
The next moment, he turned around briskly and left.
