Chapter 131 Farewell
"Li'er, you haven't been home for a long time. Don't you want to go home and see your grandmother and your mother?"
Bai Zongren called out to his daughter who was about to leave, and his throat felt sore.
Now that she is gone, her life or death is uncertain, and she will see her family less and less!
Even Bai Li, no matter how thick-skinned she was, could sense her father's suppressed sadness. She stepped forward, gave him a gentle hug, then quickly released him. She said to her father and brother who were watching her, "Okay, I'll find time to go home and leave at noon."
"Li'er...give your father's regards to your grandmother and your mother."
"And me, ask my family for me, and tell your second brother not to touch my parrot. If he breaks it, I'll never forgive him."
After Bai Dalang finished speaking, he pulled his younger sister aside.
He took out a small puppet and handed it to her, "Help me give this to Zhou Yu and say..."
"Just say I don't have time to give it to her personally. If I..."
"Just leave her with something to think about!"
“Oh, no…”
Big brother and Zhou Yu?
Bai Li was a little slow to react while holding the puppet.
Then the Bai Zongshen brothers and several cousins asked Bai Li to help convey a message.
Why are they all saying things like they're leaving last words? It makes Bai Li feel heavy inside.
She told Wu Lanzhi and Luo Yang to let the team go out quietly to carry out the mission, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better.
After explaining everything clearly, I rushed home without stopping.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw several gorgeous carriages parked at the gate of the Bai family's courtyard, blocking Bai Li's way home.
Bai Li walked along the edge of the car body into the yard, and saw Bai Yue coming out of the house wearing red.
"Bai Li, are you back to bless me?"
"Ever since I was little, I knew that you and I were different.
You were born to work hard, and I was born to be rich and prosperous."
Bai Yue shook the jade bracelet on her hand, and then touched the golden hairpin on her head, afraid that Bai Li couldn't see it.
"Then I wish you everlasting wealth and prosperity. Can you please move aside?"
Bai Li didn't have time to argue with her, so he just said something perfunctory and left.
Bai Yue's face lit up with joy when he heard that she finally gave in, and he reached out to hold her back when she was about to leave.
"Wait, your blessing is not sincere."
"Is it finished yet? I'm busy."
“Look, I know you are jealous of me, so you can’t say words to bless me.
"Well, who would dare to marry a girl who spends all day fighting with those rough guys?"
"If someone like you wants to marry into a wealthy family as a concubine, they'll look down on you. You can only find a peasant in Shiya Village to marry, provided that he likes you! Hehe..."
Taking advantage of the moment when Bai Yue let go of her hand and covered her mouth with her hands to giggle, Bai Li pulled back his arm.
"You're mentally ill. You're so arrogant even though you're just a concubine. If it were me, I'd be so ashamed!"
Bai Li said and walked away.
When she turned around and saw some boxes and cages placed at her door, she realized that Shangguan Yu was afraid that if a war broke out, she wouldn't know what would happen next, so he sent someone to pick her up and take her back home.
He is a man who keeps his promises. Bai Li immediately changed his opinion of Shangguan Yu.
"you!"
"You and I stop!"
Bai Yue was so angry behind her that she was jumping up and down. Mu Shi kept trying to persuade her, "Forget it, forget it. Who told you to show off in front of her? She's just jealous of you!"
Bai Yue felt relieved after hearing the last sentence. She finally stopped making trouble and got on the carriage obediently.
Regardless of what was happening behind her, Bai Li took three or two steps up the stairs and reached the door, where she saw her nanny and two aunts all peeking in to watch the fun.
"Li'er, why did you have time to come back?"
Several people asked the question almost at the same time.
"Grandma, mother, aunt."
"I'm not busy today, so I'll take some time to go home."
"Grandma, Mom, are you all okay? Is there any rice or grain left at home?"
"Okay, everything is fine. We still have rice and food at home, enough to last for several months. Don't worry about the family."
Mrs. Li looked at her granddaughter, who had become darker and thinner, with eyes full of love.
"Then I'll stay a little longer, mother. Come with me, I have something to tell you."
Ignoring the puzzled looks of others, Bai Li pulled his mother into the house.
“Mom, please listen to me first, otherwise it will be too late.
"Take this silver. If, I mean if, the enemy army arrives here, take grandma and the others to find a safe place to hide. Don't look for me and Dad. We will definitely look for you after we drive away the enemy."
"Li'er, are you guys going to the battlefield?"
Li Mingyue had seen such scenes since she was a child. She knew that her husband and her children were going to the battlefield again, and this separation might be forever.
She hugged her daughter and trembled all over.
Born in a military family, she was reluctant but helpless.
Bai Li felt his mother's fear and worry, and his heart ached. He couldn't help but hug her tightly back.
"mother……"
At this moment, she just wanted to be a little daughter, snuggling in her mother's arms and enjoying the long-lost maternal love.
"Mom, I have to leave at noon. Don't tell grandma and the others about this yet. Dad and brother all told you to be well and not to worry them."
"I know. Be careful when you go to the battlefield... Come back alive."
Li Mingyue didn't know that Simon had an army of 200,000 approaching. If she knew, she would cry to death.
"Mom, I'll leave the house to you. By the way, where's Zhou Yu?"
"She and Bai Yu Liulang went to dig wild vegetables. The child is diligent and said that the wild vegetables in spring are fresh and tender. They dug some and blanched them a few days ago. They will dig more and make dumplings."
"Mom, my brother gave this to Zhou Yu, saying it's a keepsake for her."
"Da Lang... this kid, when did he become interested in young girls? But Zhou Yu is really amazing. It would be great if she could be my daughter-in-law."
"No one can predict what will happen in the future, so let nature take its course."
"By the way, why haven't I seen my second brother?"
"Have you forgotten how many cows we have? After Dalang and his men arrived at the military camp, he took on the responsibility of taking care of the cows and didn't let us get involved.
He has gone to the river with his cattle and will not be back until evening."
"Well, let's not let him know about us for now."
Bai Li then told them about the instructions given by her uncle and cousin, and asked them to wait until she left before telling them about it.
Bai Li left the house and took his grandmother to the warehouse, where he put plenty of rice, flour, and various dried meats and cured meats into the warehouse until every corner was filled. Li smiled so hard that her eyes were reduced to slits, and she kept shouting, "Enough, enough, there's no room left," before she stopped.
"Grandma, I have to go. Lanzhi and the others are waiting for me. I'm taking them out for a walk today. There will be training later, so I might not be able to go home for a while."
"Okay, okay, go ahead and do your thing. Don't worry about home. Tell your dad and the others that everything is fine at home. Don't worry."
Li held Bai Li's hand and rubbed it repeatedly, unwilling to let go. Bai Li forced a smile to face his family.
Seeing that the sun was at its highest point in the sky, I had to leave. In the end, all I had to say was "take care" and I left home.
At noon, a group of cavalry rushed out from the gate of Qianxi military camp. Everyone thought it was a normal training. No one expected that this team of only 500 people would dare to fight against an army of 200,000.
