Taoyuan Town.
Pedestrians on the street couldn't help but stare at a young man.
The man was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, old but clean, and was handsome, but his outstanding appearance was not the reason why all passersby looked at him.
Why was the boy being led by a rope?
"I think they were afraid the boy would run away and they wouldn't be able to find him."
"But no matter how you look at it, it looks like...walking a dog."
Bai Yunqi, who has already undergone initial marrow cleansing, has excellent hearing.
Besides, the discussions among those around them weren't quiet at all!
Bai Yunqi: [Can't you all keep your voices down?!]
Bai Tian also felt a little embarrassed, but then he thought about his eldest son's character from his memories.
He decided to bite the bullet and lead the way anyway.
Otherwise, before the important matters are finished, they might have to start looking for their son in a town where they know no one.
It's a waste of time and energy, and most importantly, it easily depletes the limited amount of fatherly love available to us.
Juanjuan nestled on her father's shoulder, gradually relaxing and feeling wonderful.
Yes, my older brother's rambling is a bit noisy.
"Juanjuan, want some steamed buns?"
Bai Tian, holding Juanjuan in one arm and leading his eldest son by the hand in the other, stopped in front of the steamed bun shop.
Juanjuan shuddered as she looked at the soft, fluffy buns in the steamer.
"I want to eat it... but it's too expensive."
The little guy's voice went from cheerful to hesitant in just six words.
But Bai Tian felt uneasy hearing this.
Looking at his sensible little daughter, Bai Tian waved his hand and said generously, "Give me two meat buns!"
Unfortunately.
Bai Tian held Juanjuan in one arm and held his eldest son's hand with the other.
Since he had already made such a grand gesture, the hand he was waving could only be the one holding his eldest son's hand.
Bai Yunqi, who was almost swept away by his father's wave of the hand: ...
Thankfully, the rope is tied around the waist; if it were around the neck, the clinic would need another patient.
The stall owner handed the meat bun to Bai Tian, glancing curiously at this unusual way of raising a child, and casually asked:
"Why are you carrying a child? Is it perhaps a mentally challenged...idiot?"
Bai Yunqi: [You old man, don't think I didn't hear you, you're the idiot!]
Bai Tian handed five coins to the stall owner and took the steamed bun: "My son is smart, but too noisy. He runs around in town. It'll be easier to keep him on a leash."
"Here, you two, one for each of you."
Bai Tian handed the two children one soft meat bun each.
"Father, eat."
Juanjuan brought the steamed bun in her hand to Bai Tian's lips.
"Father isn't hungry, Juanjuan can eat!"
"Father, just one bite, just one bite!"
Bai Tian couldn't resist his little girl's unconscious coquettishness, and besides, he really did want to take a bite.
Bai Tian: [It's so sinful! I even had to take food from a child. But I can't help it. Having received Chinese education since childhood, which teaches respect for elders and care for the young, especially with such a well-behaved child like Juanjuan, I really feel guilty!]
Juanjuan roughly understood that her father was embarrassed.
The little child looked at his father and said, "Daddy, when Juanjuan grows up, I'll earn money and buy you lots of steamed buns!"
Bai Tian chuckled, "Okay, when Juanjuan grows up, I'll buy steamed buns for Daddy."
A gentle breeze was blowing, creating a beautiful scene of fatherly love and filial piety.
Perhaps it would be even more beautiful and heartwarming if we ignored the white clouds being led by the hand.
"Dad, do you want some?" Bai Yunqi also held up a steamed bun.
Bai Tian looked at the black paw print on the steamed bun: ...
"No need! Gou Dan, you can eat it yourself."
Bai Yunqi: "Father, my name is Bai Yunqi."
Bai Tian: "Okay, Gou Dan."
Bai Yunqi: ...
Juanjuan ate her steamed buns in small bites, looking completely satisfied, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with her brother and father getting along.
You know, Dad would never have spoken to my brother so intimately before.
At that time, the whole house was shrouded in a frightening atmosphere.
And now.
Juanjuan took a bite of the meat filling and looked at her father and brother, who were chatting idly.
It's like the house of the guy next door with the big hammer—it's cheerful.
But soon, Bai Tian and Bai Yunqi's joy was gone.
Bai Tian: [I didn't expect that buying such a small amount of brown rice and coarse flour would cost so many coins!]
A peck of unpolished rice cost five coins, a peck of coarse flour cost eight coins, and salt, especially coarse salt, was even more expensive, costing a whopping one hundred and fifty coins per pound!
[This place isn't by the sea, and we can't make our own salt. So why didn't I study agriculture?! Even veterinary medicine would have been fine!]
Bai Yunqi: [There's a strong spiritual energy fluctuation in that shop ahead, but... it's a pawnshop!!]
[Bai Yunqi, hold on! You're broke! Broke! Broke!]
Therefore, if I want to restore my spiritual power, I need to obtain it from jade, but jade now requires silver, and silver is what my family lacks most.
The word "poverty" weighed heavily on the minds of the Bai family father and son.
But what shrouded Jiang Dai was no longer poverty.
Instead, panic!
because.
Both children have disappeared at the same time!!!
