On the way home, Bai An looked at her parents following behind her. She hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Do you feel anything strange?"

Lu Jinan's voice was flat and even, "No."

"Really?" Bai An lowered his head and racked his brains to think about what happened today.

They were almost home, but Bai An still looked distressed. Lu Jinan looked at her and said softly, "We're going to cook soon, go pick some wild vegetables."

It was pitch black all around, and Bai An complained, "It's so late, and you still want me to pick wild vegetables."

"Yeah, why are you picking wild vegetables so late?"

Lu Jinan responded casually, rubbed Bai An's head, and said, "I'll go cook first."

Bai An looked at Lu Jinan's back and suddenly realized. Based on her understanding of Lin Zhixia, he would not pick wild vegetables in the dark night.

Just when Bai An was about to figure everything out, Bai An suddenly nodded and said, "Why think so much? He must have his reasons for doing this."

Bai An turned around and ran to Wanqing who was still walking behind him, "Mom."

...

...

Wanqing lovingly let Bai An hold her hand and said softly, "Why did you come back?"

"I miss you." Bai An rubbed Wanqing's arm and said coquettishly.

Lu Demin couldn't help laughing when he saw Bai An being so spoiled.

The next morning, Bai An went to Da Zhuang's house to wait for him to go to school. After Da Zhuang packed up, he followed Bai An on the way to school.

Da Zhuang seemed to have thought of something and said, "You've been playing with Brother Zhi Xia all the time, and his house happens to be on the way to school. Let's go find him and go to school together later."

Bai An nodded indifferently.

Before they reached his house, when Mother Chrysanthemum saw them, she turned around and went back home in a hurry, slamming the door.

Bai An and Da Zhuang stared at each other, not knowing what was going on.

"Why does she look like she's afraid of us?" Da Zhuang scratched his head and continued, "It's not our fault that Cui Ju got lost."

Bai An looked at Da Zhuang and asked, "Aren't you worried that Cui Ju is lost?"

"I'm worried." Da Zhuang leaned close to Bai An's ear and whispered, "I think I should be worried, but I also feel that Cui Ju should be safe now."

Bai An looked at Dada Zhuang in shock, shook his hand as if he had found a comrade, and said excitedly: "I think so too."

Bai An looked at Cui Ju's house and asked Da Zhuang, "Do you think it's possible that Cui Ju is at home?"

Da Zhuang didn't answer, but looking into Da Zhuang's eyes, Bai An knew that Da Zhuang had the same idea.

Bai An held Da Zhuang's hand and suggested, "Since we're here, why don't we sneak in and take a look?"

Da Zhuang hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment and said, "Why not just forget it, after all, it's someone else's house."

"What's the matter?" Bai An felt that his voice was a little loud, so he quickly lowered it and moved closer to Da Zhuang and said, "My house was thoroughly checked because Cui Ju got lost, and a lot of things were missing. It was Cui Ju's mother who brought people here at that time."

"My family couldn't stop them at that time. You didn't even see how ferocious those villagers were."

Bai An pointed at Cui Ju's house and said, "If we can find Cui Ju in her house, it will clear our family's name."

After listening to Bai An's talk, Da Zhuang nodded and said, "Then don't tell my mother about this."

"No." Bai An patted Da Zhuang's shoulder, pulled him along and said, "I know there's a dog hole somewhere. That hole is just big enough for us to get through."

"How do you know there's a dog hole there?"

"Aster told me before."

Da Zhuang asked again in confusion: "She told you what the dog hole was for."

Bai An waved her hand, "Don't ask so many questions about things between girls."

Da Zhuang looked at the sealed cave in front of him, slowly turned his head and asked, "Is this the dog hole you mentioned?"

Bai An looked at the dog hole in front of him, and then looked at the surrounding environment, "Yes, it is this hole. I didn't expect them to be so thoughtful."

"What does this mean?" Bai An looked at Da Zhuang and asked.

Da Zhuang blinked and looked at Bai An in front of him.

Bai An said to himself: "This shows that they have something to hide, otherwise why would they block this hole?"

"Then how do we get in?" Da Zhuang looked up at the two-meter-high wall, "We can't climb over it, this wall is taller than you and me combined."

"There's no other way. We can only climb over the wall to get in." Bai An clapped his hands and said to Da Zhuang, "Come on."

"What's coming?"

Da Zhuang looked at Bai An who was almost at the top of the tree and asked, "Aren't you going to climb the wall? Why are you climbing a tree?"

Bai An lowered his head and looked at Da Zhuang who had not yet started to move, and shouted: "How are we going to climb the wall when it's so high? We can climb up the wall by following this tree trunk."

Da Zhuang looked at the other side of the tree trunk and found that Bai An was right.

Bai An was still urging Da Zhuang to climb quickly, so Da Zhuang started slowly. After a while, Da Zhuang had climbed to Bai An's side.

Bai An looked at Da Zhuang in shock and asked incredulously, "How can you climb a tree so fast?"

Hearing Bai An's praise, Da Zhuang scratched his head shyly and said, "Not bad."

When Bai An and Da Zhuang came to the top of the wall one after another, looking at the height below, Bai An was a little puzzled, "How do we get down?"

"That's easy." Da Zhuang said and jumped down.

Looking at Da Zhuang who was unharmed, Bai An felt even more troubled, "What should I do then?"

Da Zhuang scratched his head, looked around, and took a piece of worn-out wood and placed it under the wall.

Bai An looked speechlessly at the useless wood below and looked at Da Zhuang helplessly.

Da Zhuang also saw the use of this, and stretched out his hand to Bai An and said, "Jump on me."

Bai An glanced at Da Zhuang's thin body and said hesitantly, "You can't catch mine."

Da Zhuang looked at Bai An in confusion, "I didn't intend to catch you, you can just jump down and press on me."

Bai An's mouth twitched, and he said to Da Zhuang: "Then you have to catch me, I want to jump."

Da Zhuang closed his eyes and did not feel the expected pain. When he opened his eyes, he saw Bai An lying on the ground with his teeth bared.

He quickly ran over to help Bai An up, "Why can't you jump correctly?"

"Nonsense." Bai An held his waist and said to Da Zhuang, "Can I jump on you? What if I crush you to death?"

"How could he be crushed to death?"

Bai An waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go find Cui Ju first."

Da Zhuang responded quickly and helped Bai An walk inside.

Bai An let go of Da Zhuang's hand, held his waist and twisted it left and right, "It's okay, I'm fine, you don't have to hold me."
