Chapter 94 Back

I don’t know if it was because the heavy snow covered the traces on the ground, or if Blackbeard and his men were just lucky, but they were safe and sound until they left Simon’s territory, and no one was chasing them.

When they reached the third intersection, he had to say goodbye to Bai Li and the others and leave.

Here, one road leads directly to the Qianxi military camp, one road goes to the rural county town where Yu Ji's "hometown" is, and one road passes through a county town and several small towns to the Laotian border.

In order to complete the play, Bai Li had to separate from Luo Yang and the others here. They would return to Jincheng, and she would return to Yu Ji's hometown.

In order to cover up her lie, she had been "drinking medicine" when she met Blackbeard, saying that it was the medicine prescribed by the traveling doctor.

She "drank" it for a few days but saw no effect. She felt a little listless and had no energy.

"Miss Yu, I cannot express my gratitude enough for your kindness. I will definitely repay you generously when I have the chance."

“By the way, there is a doctor in our country who can bring the dead back to life.

I'll ask him to see you when I get back. Your face might be salvageable, so don't let it get you down."

Blackbeard said this sincerely, and Bai Li believed that he meant it from the bottom of his heart.

He nodded and smiled, "Then I will wait for good news at home."

In fact, Blackbeard is not a bad person. He is just a businessman who cares about profit.

There are no completely good people or completely bad people in their line of work.

At first he took her with him to repay a favor, then she saved him and protected him for a while. It was impossible for him not to be grateful.

Blackbeard repeatedly told him to wait for news from him. Bai Li gave him the address of Yu Ji's hometown and told him to go there to find her.

The group said goodbye to each other here. Blackbeard drove away in a carriage, Bai Li and his second brother sat in one, and Luo Yang took four carriages. The three groups of people each went their own way back home.

Nangong Min had received the news of Bai Li's return the day before.

Bai Li came back with a face full of pockmarks and wandered around the village in public. On the third day, he left home on the pretext of seeking medical treatment. No one knew where he went.

Shiya Village.

Li has been restless recently and keeps asking Bai Zongren about the condition of her good granddaughter Bai Li's injuries and why she hasn't returned home for the New Year.

Counting the days, she has been out for two months, and her injuries should be almost healed.

Li called Bai Zongren several times to inquire about the news. As long as she could sit up, it would be fine and she could come back to spend the New Year with her family.

As for her second grandson, he has always been at his grandfather's house, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't come back.

If I don't come back, I won't have to be exiled with them, and I won't have to suffer with them in the frontier.

As the New Year approaches, every elderly person longs for family reunion, and Bai Zongren can understand that.

In fact, he was also worried about his daughter. He went to ask Namgoong Min to come back for the last time, and he couldn't hide the joy on his face.

"Brother, what are you so happy about?"

Bai Zongrui and Bai Zongze were sawing wood at the gate of the yard, and several young men were helping them. They were preparing the wood to reinforce the cowshed.

A while ago, a heavy snowfall almost collapsed the cowshed. Fortunately, Bai Zongrui heard the cows' screams and came out to check, and several cows were saved.

Bai Zongren smiled and replied, "Major General Nangong said that Ali is almost well now and is on his way back. He might be able to return before the New Year."

"Really, that's great!"

"Then I'll go tell grandma and mom quickly!"

Bai Dalang immediately dropped what he was holding and ran into the house like a gust of wind.

She ran and shouted, "Grandma, Grandma! Mom, my little sister is back..."

"This kid, why is he still acting like a child!"

Bai Zongren shook his head and smiled indulgently, then bent down to take over the wood he had just held.

Influenced by Li'er, his eldest son lost his former dullness and old-fashioned attitude and became much more lively and cheerful.

"Uncle, now that Ali is back, can we practice boxing again?"

"You little brat, your wounds have healed and your skin is itchy again, right?"

"Dad, to be honest, I haven't practiced with Ali for so long, I feel like I'm just not feeling well!"

"Don't mention it, my hands are itching!"

"I learned some free-style boxing from Ali, and I feel like my martial arts skills have improved a lot. I can't wait to compete with her. Maybe I can even draw with her!"

Bai Sanlang is a martial and competitive man. After being defeated by Bai Li many times, he not only admires Bai Li, but also takes out all his time to train himself hard, just so that one day he can defeat Bai Li.

"You three guys, please don't mess around. Ali's injury has just healed. Do you want her old injury to relapse?"

"Yes, that has to wait until she is fully recovered."

While they were chatting and laughing, Li Mingyue came out supporting Li, followed by Bai Yu and Bai Liulang, who were dressed like dumplings, chasing and shouting.

"Big sister,"

"elder sister!"

"Where is Li'er?"

Bai Dalang followed out from behind, jumping up and down and yelling, "Grandma, I haven't even finished talking yet, and you guys ran away! My little sister hasn't come back yet!"

"Mom, it's cold outside, why did you come out?"

Bai Zongren stepped forward to support Li, as there was a thin layer of ice on the ground and he was afraid that she would slip.

"Did Major General Nangong say when Ali would be home?"

"The Major General said that Ali left ten days ago. He may have encountered snow and wind on the way, which may have delayed his journey. He will probably be home in two days at the latest."

"In two days? Today is the 26th, so in two days it will only be the 28th, just in time for the New Year's Eve dinner."

When Li heard the news, she felt relieved.

"How is Li'er? Is he hungry or cold? Is there anyone taking care of him..."

As a mother, Li Mingyue is always worried that her children will be hungry or cold when they are not around.

Bai Zongren hurriedly comforted his wife, "We'll know when the child comes back. There's no point in guessing now, right?"

Bai Yue got angry when she saw that they were all looking forward to Bai Li's return, and she rubbed the rag in her hand fiercely to vent her anger.

I really don't understand what's so good about Bai Li that makes them treat her like that.

They were such despicable people that they quickly forgot how that crazy woman had beaten them so badly.

Today, Mu took her to clean the house and prepare for the New Year. Every household in the village was cleaning to welcome the arrival of the new year.

Mu came out of the house carrying a wooden basin. Seeing that the rag in her hand had been twisted into strips and she was still rubbing it, she raised her hand and slapped her.

"I'm going to die! This rag can be used to wipe your hands and feet after washing it, but you've ruined it like this. Don't you know that you don't have money to buy more cloth now?"

Bai Yue felt a pain in her arm, and the rag flew out and fell to the ground, scattering like a flower.

Mu became even angrier and poured the dirty water in the wooden basin over her head.

"Ah! Mom, what are you doing!"

Bai Yue's head and face were covered in black dirty water, and the dirty water kept flowing into her mouth as she spoke.

"Ugh! Pah!"

Bai Yue spat wildly, and the dirty water covered her eyes. She wiped them hastily with her hands, and her face was covered with black and white spots, making her look even more like a clown.
