Chapter Eighty-Five: Bandits

I turned the small clay pot out from under the bed and opened it to see that it was empty.

After the money theft incident, this place to hide money was useless, Bai Mingxuan learned a lesson and transferred the rest of the money.

Eggs can't be put in one basket, so Bai Mingxuan has more than one place to hide money.

In such a big rural family with no privacy, it is extremely difficult to hide money, and hiding private money can be called a big rebellion, even if Bai Mingxuan is allowed to save money, she can't make a big splash.

Last time, she got inspiration from Shi Lu and had already hidden most of her money in more hidden places, leaving only a small portion of it with her.

Open a small purse, take out the dozens of copper plates inside, put them in a clay pot, and close the lid again.

Turning around and walking to the corner, he squatted down and groped, found a mouse hole he found a few days ago, took out a ball of hay stuffed in it, and put a small clay pot the size of a palm in his hand, which was just the right size.

Stuff it with hay and let it go unnoticed as long as you don't touch it with your hands.

After hiding it, Bai Mingxuan clapped her hands with satisfaction.

The corner is hidden and not easy to detect, even if it is discovered, it doesn't matter, it is only a few dozen dollars inside.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Bai Mingxuan, who had just hidden the money, was startled by this voice.

Turning around, I saw Bai Mingwei standing at the door, probing and asked curiously.

"Vivi, why do you walk without sound? Suddenly speaking scared me! Bai Mingxuan said angrily.

"Oops, where is there no sound? It's clear that you're too serious and didn't find out! Bai Mingwei said.

"Okay, okay, it's my sister's fault, go out and play." Bai Mingxuan touched her head.

"Heehehe~" Bai Mingwei squinted and smiled, and there was a cunning light in her eyes.

Bai Mingxuan was a little suspicious if she knew that she was hiding money, and then shook her head funny, even if she knew, she couldn't steal money like Tao Datong, right?

When I walked out of the door, I saw Wang coming out of the kitchen with a pot of dishes and chopsticks, ready to wash the dishes.

"Auntie, why are you washing the dishes again? What about Auntie? Bai Mingxuan wondered, why did she always see her aunt washing dishes recently?

"Your aunt is ...... She's out on business. Wang put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"That's right, then I'll help A-Niang wash the dishes." Knowing that her aunt didn't want to say that the elders were not good in front of the juniors, Bai Mingxuan didn't ask or expose them, took the dishes and chopsticks and began to scoop water and wash them.

Wang smiled and handed her the loofah for washing the dishes, "Okay, when my Xuanxuan grows up, she will help A-Niang wash the dishes!" ”

The evening sun shone down on people's faces and cast a golden glow on the people in the fields.

After packing up the farm tools, everyone was talking and going home.

The Bai family doesn't like to gossip with others, so they packed up their things and hurried back to eat, so they didn't hear anything.

This time, in the usual short period of time, a different news appeared.

"Hey, have you heard? There's a gang of bandits in the town next door to us. A black-faced man said to the man next to him.

"What town next door? Where are the bandits? I haven't seen bandits since I'm so old! The man next to him was obviously unconvinced.

"It's Xinghua Town! Not far from our Taoxi, this is what my sister-in-law's uncle heard about, he is from Xinghua Town! I heard that the man was injured by the bandits, but he didn't give him the money because he asked for it. The news was questioned, and the black-faced Chinese characters became anxious.

"Really? Are there really bandits? I've only heard that my grandfather met bandits. ”

"Then can there be a fake? The man had a broken leg, and his family was poor and had no money for treatment, and he would not be able to live in a few days. Only an old mother and a small child were left. Alas, miserable! ”

"Alas, it's all fate!"

"Who said it wasn't ......"

The two sighed as they talked and went all the way home.

There are few new things in the village, and once they encounter something new, it will spread quickly, and then the two of them told the others about the novelty.

One to ten, ten to hundred. In less than three days, the news of "bandits" spread to everyone.

Things have also spread more and more outrageously, and it has changed from the original "There are bandits in Xinghua Town who have discounted people's legs" to "There are bandits in Taoxi Town who have beaten people to death".

"Really? Is there such a thing? The white lady widened her eyes and asked Tao Erniang in disbelief.

At noon today, the two sat together to work and talk as usual, but they didn't expect to hear such news, and Bai Lao Niang couldn't believe it for a while.

"I also heard what Widow Tao said, I don't know if it's true or not, but everyone else says so, so can it still be false?" Tao Erniang's expression was determined.

"Wouldn't it? My family Mingcheng is studying in Taoxi, and I haven't heard him talk about it. ”

"Mingcheng reads every day, and he doesn't like to listen to gossip, I'm afraid I really don't know these things."

"You're right. Why don't I go back and let Mingcheng inquire? ”

"Hey, okay. But if you want me to say, this thing is eighty percent true, and it is groundless, if it is true or false, why are so many people talking about it? ”

"Well, this kind of thing has always been better to believe in it than to believe in it, and it's better to go back and plan early."

Bai Lao Niang got up, "I'll go back and tell them and discuss it with the family." ”

"Hey, I want to talk about it." Tao Erniang got up and said.

As soon as she walked to the door of the house, Bai Lao Niang saw Bai Minghui running out of it.

"Minghui, where are you going?" The white lady hurriedly stopped.

"Grandma, I've made an appointment with someone else to talk." Bai Minghui looked inexplicable, and didn't understand why she was suddenly stopped for questioning.

"What do you say? It's not too early, hurry into the house and don't go out. I'll talk about that tomorrow. After speaking, the white lady entered the door.

Isn't it too early?

Bai Minghui looked up at the sun, it was not yet evening.

As soon as his mouth pouted, he muttered, "I thought that I could talk to others and have fun after finishing my work early, why wasn't it early?" It's really ......."

Who knew that at this time, Bai Lao Niang went and returned, and suddenly appeared, which startled her, for fear that what she said just now would be heard.

"Minghui, you go out and call everyone else back, and you are not allowed to play outside."

After receiving this order, Bai Minghui nodded again and again, "Oh, oh, good." ”

A cigarette ran out.

Looking at her unsteady appearance, the white lady shook her head slightly.

This granddaughter, not to mention compared with Minglan, even Mingxuan can't compare, she is still frizzy in her teens, she must talk about her well another day, this problem will not change, how can she be a good person in the future?

Fortunately, Bai Minghui's frizz is frizzy, and such a simple thing can still be done.

Not long after, except for Bai Mingcheng, everyone else in the family, regardless of adults and children, came back.

Fortunately, it was almost evening, and the Bai family went home without paying special attention.

Bai Da followed behind Daddy Bai, looking dazed, and just wanted to ask what happened, but Bai Er preemptively said it.

"Auntie, what are you shouting to hurry us back for? The work in the fields isn't done yet. ”
