Chapter 42: Bai Xing is missing
Early the next morning, the family made a clear division of labor.
Bai Sanshu took Bai Wei to the town to buy things, and Bai Liu took a pair of children to dry medicinal herbs and make cotton clothes at home.
Bai Ling still went around the mountains, and then went to the town to sell fish.
The grain in the space is almost harvested, and Bai Ling is ready to plant a second crop, which is the root of her unpanicked heart in another world.
When Bai Ling went home, Bai Sanshu's father and daughter had already returned, the grain was all in the cellar, and the Bai Liu clan had also prepared the meal.
"Where's the little sister?" Bai Ling asked after washing his hands.
"Baimei picked a basket of honeysuckle and pigweed, and if she couldn't take it, she asked Xing'er to help her send it home." Bai Liu said, glanced at the sky and said: "This Nizi, maybe who you are going to play with, your father went out before he came back, and he hasn't come back yet." ”
"What?" Bai Ling's hand to take the bowl slipped, and a bowl of hot soup fell to the ground, and Bai Ling, who was in the soup, jumped straight to his feet.
"Why are you careless, girl? Quickly take off your shoes and soak them in cool water. The White Willow Clan said worriedly.
"Bai Wei!" Bai Ling didn't care about dealing with the injury on his foot first, jumped to the door, and shouted at Bai Wei in the kitchen: "Quick, you go to the old mansion to look for it, see if the little sister is there." ”
"Why is my little sister in the old house?" Bai Wei rushed out and asked with an ugly face.
"Don't ask so much, you hurry up and find out." Bai Ling's painful face was sweating, urging Bai Wei to find someone, and then went to the kitchen to pour cold water to soak her feet.
Bai Liu's family was also flustered, followed to the kitchen, and asked uneasily: "Xing'er is just going to the old mansion, there won't be anything, right?" ”
"Mother, don't think about it too much, maybe it's the milk that they leave the little sister to work." Bai Ling panicked, but he still comforted the Bai Liu clan.
"Maybe Xing'er is playful, so don't think about it so much." The white three-tree road that is still weaving bead curtains.
"Didn't Dad forget, they wanted to sell me to Chongxi?" Bai Ling raised his head and looked at Bai Sanshu with a little dissatisfaction, "Little sister has always been sensible, even if she plays for a while, she won't not go home at this time." Now it's busy farming, whose girl boy still has space? ”
Bai Sanshu's face stiffened for a moment, and he whispered: "That's your milk, they keep doing some work, and the left is just feeding the chickens or something......"
"It's best what my father said, if my little sister is a little damaged, I will never give up!" Bai Ling's hand holding the bowl tightened, and the gap scratched her skin, and she hissed in pain.
Bai Liu's family was anxious, so he stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited, Bai Sanshu was affected by his emotions, and raised his head from time to time to look outside.
After a while, Bai Wei trotted all the way back, but there was no shadow of Bai Xing.
"Where's Apricot?" Bai Liu grabbed Bai Wei's arm and asked eagerly.
Bai Mei said...... The little sister has already returned. Bai Wei gasped and said incoherently, "I'm going...... My sister has a good ...... They all said they hadn't seen ......."
Bai Lingluo stood up, didn't bother to put on his shoes, ran quickly to the gate of the courtyard, and held Bai Liu's family, afraid that she would faint without being stimulated.
"Mother, don't worry, let's go out and find it, you watch the hill at home, in case the little sister comes back, someone will know." Bai Ling said, and said to Bai Wei: "Third sister, you look carefully for the way into the village and see if you find anything." I went to the foot of the mountain to take a look, maybe my little sister went to the mountain. ”
Bai Sanshu also hurriedly went out to find someone, this would be no time to think about whether Bai Xing's failure to return home had anything to do with the old mansion, finding talents is the most important thing.
Although the Bai Liu clan was worried about the little girl, they also knew that their health was not good, so they could only listen to Bai Ling's words and wait in the house.
Until it was dark, there was still no white apricot.
The whole village made money because of the three rooms, and they helped find someone when they knew that Bai Xing was gone. Especially the few families who go around in the third room, it is the whole family mobilization,
After Bai Ling dragged his bleeding foot to the village chief's house, Bai Wanshi hurriedly helped Bai Ling to sit down.
"You girl, don't you die? Don't Bai Xing didn't find it, you have another accident...... Bah! I just can't speak. What Bai Wanshi said in his mouth was not good, but he really cared, "Auntie will go and bring you a basin of water, you wash your feet and put on the medicine, and I will find you a new pair of shoes to wear." ”
"Thank you, auntie." Bai Ling's heart was warm, so he had to listen patiently to Bai Wan's words first, and then said to the village chief: "Uncle village chief, I found this basket on the way from the foot of the mountain to the town, it seems to be from the old mansion. ”
"Are you sure?" The village chief asked.
"Hmm." Bai Ling nodded.
Bai Wei picked up the basket, pointed to a piece of flower cloth on it, and said, "That's right, the old house is tied with flower cloth strips, and there are not many families in our village who wear flower cloth clothes." Everyone in the village said that they hadn't seen Xing'er enter the village, so Bai Mei must have lied! ”
"How? Bai Mei didn't say that Xing'er sent her back to ......" Bai Sanshu said half of his words, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"This matter is inseparable from Baimei, and I can't say if it has anything to do with other people in the old house. But Apricot has been lost for a few hours, and I'm afraid she's in danger. Uncle the village chief, can you arrest Bai Mei and interrogate her? When it was dawn and I couldn't find Xing'er, I went to report to the official. Bai Ling said calmly.
"What are you waiting for, I'm going to arrest Bai Mei, I don't believe I can't tear her mouth open!" Bai Wei threw the basket and said hatefully: "If Xing'er's accident has something to do with the old mansion, I will never spare them, break their legs, and see who dares to bully our family!" ”
Bai Sanshu opened his mouth and didn't speak, once again being distressed by reality.
"You guys go over and have a look first, don't let Baimei run away. I'll go to the patriarch, this matter must go through the clan, or you will abuse the lynching, and you didn't wait to find Bai Xing, but you all got in first. The village chief said.
"Cheng, we'll wait for the village chief at the old house." Bai Ling nodded.
"You deal with your feet first, and the eldest lady will accompany Bai Wei over." Bai Wanshi put the wooden basin on the ground, put medicine and clean shoes, glared at Bai Sanshu and scolded: "You were also quite clever when you were a child, why are you becoming more and more ignorant?" Such a good son and daughter, he has to be harmed by people, and a father like you is on the table, and a few babies have really fallen moldy for eight lifetimes! ”
"What nonsense, let's go." The village chief waved his hand.
"Bai Wei, if you meet someone on the road, call a few more to follow." Bai Ling hurriedly admonished.
"Got it." Bai Wei nodded hurriedly, and trotted away, not caring about Bai Ling's injury.
When his feet were soaked in the basin, Bai Ling breathed cold air in pain, and the black earth and blood changed the color of the water.
The village chief sighed and got up and went out.
The people of the village chief's family also helped to find someone, so Bai Ling entered the space, treated the wound with spiritual spring water, and wrapped it with a clean cloth after applying the medicine.
Although there were ready-made shoes in the space, in order not to arouse suspicion, Bai Ling still put on the pair prepared by Bai Wanshi.
When Bai Ling arrived at the old mansion, there were already many people standing outside the old mansion, and they could still hear Mrs. Bai's angry scolding, cursing Bai Wei for not ending well.
