Early the next morning, the family clearly defined the division of labor.
Bai Sanshu took Bai Wei to the town to buy things, while Bai Liu took her two children at home to dry medicinal materials and make cotton clothes.
Bai Ling still went around the mountains and then went to the town to sell fish.
The food harvest in the space is almost complete, and Bai Ling is preparing to plant the second crop. This is the basis for her not to panic in another world.
By the time Bai Ling came home, Bai Sanshu and his daughter had already returned. The food was all in the cellar, and Bai Liu had also prepared the meals.
"Where's the little sister?" Bai Ling asked after washing her hands.
"Bai Mei picked a basket of honeysuckle and chopped pigweed. When she couldn't carry it anymore, she asked Xing'er to help her take it home." Bai Liu said, looked at the sky and said: "This girl, maybe she is the same as the one with the same name."
Who went to play? Your father went out before he came back and he hasn’t come back yet."
"What?" Bai Ling's hand slipped as he took the bowl, and a bowl of hot soup fell to the ground. Bai Ling jumped to his feet because of the soup.
"Why are you so careless, girl? Take off your shoes quickly and soak them in cold water." Bai Liu said worriedly.
"Bai Wei!" Bai Ling didn't bother to take care of the injury on his foot first. He jumped to the door and shouted to Bai Wei in the kitchen: "Quickly, go to the old house and look around to see if my little sister is there.
That."
"Why are you at the old house, little sister?" Bai Wei rushed out in confusion and asked with an ugly face.
"Stop asking so many questions, just go and find her quickly." Bai Ling was sweating from the pain, urging Bai Wei to find someone, and then went to the kitchen to pour cold water on her feet.
Mrs. Bai Liu was also flustered at this moment. She followed her to the kitchen and asked uneasily: "Xing'er just went to the old house, is there nothing wrong?"
"Mom, don't think too much about it, maybe it's just to help them keep their little sister to work." Bai Ling was panicking, but she still comforted Bai Liu.
"Maybe Xing'er is just having fun, so don't think too much about it," said Bai Sanshu, who was still weaving the bead curtain.
"Did Dad forget that they wanted to sell me for a wedding?" Bai Ling raised his head and looked at Bai Sanshu with a somewhat dissatisfied look, "My little sister has always been sensible, even after playing for a while, she still doesn't know how to
Why don’t you go home at this time? The farm work is busy now, who’s girl and boy still have free time?”
Bai Sanshu's face stiffened for a moment, and he whispered: "That means you can keep them to do some work, and Zuo is just feeding chickens or something..."
"It's best to do what dad said. If my little sister is even slightly injured, I won't give up!" Bai Ling's hand tightened on the bowl, and the gap scratched her skin, causing her to hiss in pain.
Mrs. Bai Liu was impatient, so she stood at the entrance of the courtyard and waited. Bai Sanshu was affected emotionally and raised his head to look outside from time to time.
Not long after, Bai Wei ran back all the way, but there was no sign of Bai Xing.
"Where's Myolie?" Bai Liu grabbed Bai Wei's arm and asked eagerly.
"Bai Mei said... my little sister has been back a long time ago." Bai Wei panted heavily and said in a confused voice, "I went to... the few places where my little sister played well... but they all said they had never seen her before..."
Bai Ling stood up abruptly, without even bothering to put on her shoes, and quickly ran to the door of the courtyard to support Bai Liu, fearing that she would not be able to bear the stimulation and fainted.
"Mom, don't be anxious. We'll go out to look for you right now. You can watch the hill at home. In case the little sister comes back, someone will know." Bai Ling said, and then said to Bai Wei: "Third sister, please go again."
Look carefully for the road into the village and see if you find anything. I'll go to the foot of the mountain for a walk, maybe my little sister has gone to the top of the mountain."
Bai Sanshu also hurriedly went out to look for someone. At this moment, he didn't have time to think about whether Bai Xing's failure to return home had something to do with the old house. Finding someone was the most important thing.
Although Mrs. Bai Liu was worried about her little girl, she also knew that her health was not good, so she could only listen to Bai Ling and wait in the house.
Until it was completely dark, Bai Xing was still not found.
Everyone in the village had made money because of Sanfang. When they found out that Bai Xing was missing, they all helped to find someone. Especially for the families who were visiting Sanfang, the whole family mobilized.
After Bai Ling dragged her bleeding feet to the village chief's house, Bai Wanshi hurriedly helped Bai Ling sit down.
"Why are you desperate for your life? If Bai Xing is not found, if something happens to you again... Bah! I just can't speak with my bad mouth." Bai Wanshi said something unpleasant, but she was really concerned.
, "Mom, go get you a basin of water. You can wash your feet and apply the medicine. I'll find you a new pair of shoes to wear."
"Thank you so much, Auntie." Bai Ling felt warm in her heart, and had to wait patiently to listen to what Bai Wanshi had to say, 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 house."
"Are you sure?" the village chief asked.
"Yeah." Bai Ling nodded.
Bai Wei picked up the basket, pointed to a piece of floral cloth on it, and said, "Yes, the old house is tied with floral cloth strips, and there aren't many people in our village wearing floral cloths."
Everyone in the village said they had never seen Xing'er enter the village, so Bai Mei must have lied!"
"How come? Bai Mei didn't mean that Xing'er would send her back..." Bai Sanshu said halfway when his face suddenly turned pale.
"This matter has something to do with Bai Mei, and I can't say whether it has something to do with other people in the old house. But Xing'er has been missing for several hours, and I'm afraid that she is in danger. Uncle the village chief, can you please
Bai Mei should be arrested and interrogated? If Xing'er is still not found at dawn, I will report it to the official." Bai Ling said calmly.
"What are you waiting for? I'm going to catch Bai Mei right away. I don't believe I can't tear her mouth open!" Bai Wei threw the basket away and said bitterly: "If something happens to Xing'er and it has something to do with the old house, I will never forgive her.
They, break their legs to see who dares to bully our family!"
Bai Sanshu opened his mouth but did not speak. He was hit hard by reality once again.
"You go and take a look first, don't let Bai Mei escape. I'm going to find the clan leader. This matter must go through the clan, otherwise you are abusing lynching and getting in before you can find Bai Xing." The village chief said.
road.
"Okay, let's wait for the village chief at the old house." Bai Ling nodded.
"Take care of your feet first. Auntie, accompany Bai Wei there." Bai Wanshi put the wooden basin on the ground, put medicine and clean shoes in it, glared at Bai Sanshu and cursed: "You were quite clever when you were a child.
Why are you becoming more and more ignorant? Such good children have to be harmed by others. With a father like you, these children will be in trouble for eight lifetimes!"
"What are you talking about? Go quickly." The village chief waved his hand.
"Bai Wei, if you encounter people on the road, ask a few more people to follow them." Bai Ling hurriedly warned.
"Got it." Bai Wei nodded hastily and trotted away, not caring about Bai Ling's injury.
When Bai Ling soaked her feet in the basin, Bai Ling felt the pain and gasped. The black soil and blood stained the water and changed its color.
The village chief sighed, got up and went out.
The village chief's family also helped to find someone, so Bai Ling entered the space, cleaned the wound with spiritual spring water, applied medicine and wrapped it with a clean cloth.
Although there were ready-made shoes for sale in the space, in order not to arouse suspicion, Bai Ling still put on the pair prepared by Bai Wanshi.
When Bai Ling rushed to the old house, there were already many people standing outside the old house, and one could still hear the angry yelling of Mrs. Bai, who was cursing Bai Wei for not having a good ending. (Unfinished)
