Chapter 217: Strict Defense
Bai Li wanted to fool her mother by joking around, but when she felt her mother's arms trembling slightly, she immediately shut up and hugged her back silently.
"Mom, it's okay. I'm back safe and sound, right?"
Bai Li patted his mother's back gently and kept comforting her.
Everyone felt relieved when they saw the two children jumping around in the yard.
I asked the children a few questions, and when I saw that they didn't look frightened, I finally felt relieved.
After a while, Aunt Bai came to ask if it was time to eat. After everyone calmed down, they realized that they were starving.
Lunch is not until the afternoon, which is only about an hour away from dinner time.
It doesn’t matter if it’s lunch or dinner, as long as you fill your stomach, it’s fine.
After Luo Yang had dinner at the Bai family, everyone in the Bai family expressed their gratitude to him.
If it weren't for him, Bai Li and the two children would not have been saved.
Although the child has returned to the back mountain, who knows what he will encounter next? In any case, Luo Yang is the great contributor to the Bai family.
Luo Yang's face flushed red after hearing what the Bai family said. He secretly glanced at Bai Li and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her expression was the same as usual.
"If you say that, I'll be embarrassed to come and eat for free next time!"
The atmosphere was too solemn, so he spoke jokingly to liven it up.
"No, if you hadn't come to eat, how could I have saved Li'er and the others today?
So if it's convenient for you, come and eat every day. We don't need a pair of chopsticks. You can just stay at home during your vacation."
Bai Zongren laughed and made the final decision, treating him as a family member.
Luo Yang glanced at Bai Li again, then smiled and agreed reluctantly.
Bai Li didn't think much of it. Luo Yang had come to their house for meals before, and they were used to it.
What's more, he was his younger brother and had helped a lot.
Take this time for example. It was mainly because he went to find Nangong Min as a rescuer that she was able to escape from the predicament. He also brought back the two children. He made an indelible contribution to these.
Her family didn't lack food, they just needed an extra pair of chopsticks.
After thanking Luo Yang, Bai Zongren called the children into the main room.
Luo Yang knew that he had something to discuss with his family, so he tactfully stood up and said goodbye.
"I have something else to do in the barracks. I'll come back for dinner."
He was so familiar and impolite that the Bai family laughed and said that they would wait for him to come before starting every meal.
Luo Yang left briskly before Bai Zongren spoke.
"Zong Rui, tell the children the emperor's secret decree."
Bai Zongrui cleared his throat before telling the story of the Bai family being ordered to search for the treasure.
Bai Li already knew this, so there was no surprise on his face.
"Dad, why are you telling us such a big thing now?"
Bai Dalang was shocked. His house was raided because of this matter. His father had kept it a secret very well.
"Isn't this because I'm afraid you guys are so ignorant and will talk nonsense everywhere?"
"Did my sister know this a long time ago?"
"She's different from you!"
Bai Dalang was heartbroken. His father paid more and more attention to his sister and even distrusted him, the eldest son.
Bai Jilang glanced at his elder brother who was becoming more and more childish and sighed silently.
Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that his sister's martial arts, strategy, and combat capabilities were better than his and his elder brother's, and even better than his father who had been a general for many years.
What else could he be dissatisfied with? His heart instantly felt balanced.
As for the other brothers, they had no objection at all. If they had any, they would have been eliminated when Bai Li asked them to "exchange ideas" before. Who would dare to do that?
"Let's get down to business. We just started digging along the direction indicated by King Kong today, and Zhao Yuntian showed up. I don't know if he's found anything yet. I think we need to hurry up and dig, and we need to send someone to guard the place day and night."
"Brother, if we send troops and mobilize a large number of people, the matter will be leaked!"
"Besides, after what happened at home, as long as the witch doctor is not dead, someone has to stay at home to protect him, otherwise he might do something bad again."
"The witch doctor's goal is to get my bomb. Moreover, this guy is very good at Qinggong, and his moves are insidious and vicious. He also knows the long-lost earth escape technique."
Bai Li described the characteristics of the witch doctor in detail, and she was afraid that her family would suffer if they met him next time.
"In that case, we have to be on guard against this person."
"People from outside the domain are always strange and unpredictable. I'm afraid his purpose in coming to the Great Zhou is far more than this."
Bai Zongren is worthy of his long-term high position. He has a different vision and a long-term perspective.
"As long as he gets Li'er's bomb, he can do whatever he wants. So we must not let him succeed, otherwise no one can deal with him."
Bai Li opened her mouth, but didn't tell him that he wanted to take her by force.
That disgusting monster, next time I see him, I will block his escape route first and see how he can escape underground!
After discussing for a while, everyone came to the conclusion that both Zhao Yuntian and the witch doctor had to be on guard, and the house had to be guarded just like the treasure, so it all depended on how the personnel were arranged.
"Let Nangong Min arrange it. All the men in our family will go treasure hunting."
Bai Zongren thought about it again and again and made arrangements, and no one objected.
Bai Li thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to dig for treasure too."
"Why do you suddenly want to go?"
"I wanted to be lazy before, but now I can't hide anymore. Of course, it would be fun to go treasure hunting!"
What Bai Li didn't say was that the witch doctor's target was her, and as long as she was in the mountains, her family would be safe.
And she could also take the opportunity to lure him out and kill him.
As for Zhao Yuntian, if he is in cahoots with the witch doctor, we can catch him all at once.
After this incident, Bai Zongren ordered the Bai family to be strictly guarded at home. The two youngest children were not allowed to leave the house. Old lady Li and Aunt Bai stayed at home to take care of the children, tend to the vegetable garden and cook.
As for Bai Fu who was going out to graze, he left behind his son Bai Lin, whose martial arts skills were no less than Bai Dalang, to accompany him in herding cattle, cutting grass, watering and weeding the fields.
The three sisters-in-law Li Mingyue all have martial arts skills, so protecting themselves is not a problem.
Besides, they usually go out in groups, so it’s not easy to attack them.
Finally, there is Zhou Yu, who has no martial arts skills, and the Bai family did not ignore her just because she is an outsider.
Bai Dalang will explain the interests to her, and she must go with Li Mingyue and the others wherever she goes.
While Zhou Yu was grateful to the Bai family for treating her as one of their own, she was also afraid that the thieves were targeting her.
Although her identity has not been exposed, the spies in the dark may have already figured out her background. As long as she is not alone, they will not be able to do anything to her.
As soon as Bai Dalang said it, she agreed.
"Brother Bai, your family is so kind to me."
The tips of Bai Dalang's ears turned slightly red, and he looked at his toes, not daring to look at anyone.
“Hey, you, you and my sister hit it off right away, so you came to her without saying anything.
You are her sister, so naturally, you are also our sister."
After saying this, Bai Dalang wished he could bite off his tongue. He didn't understand why he, who was so eloquent in front of his brothers and sisters, became a stutterer in front of Zhou Yu.
He was so useless. Facing Zhou Yu, he felt deeply powerless, but he couldn't help but want to get close to her, even if it was just to talk to her.
