Chapter 554 Sent Out
"Right, right, right. It's already this late and you haven't eaten yet. If you're not hungry, I'm starving to death." Zhou Silang turned around and headed home, dragging Manbao along as he muttered, "When I came back, I saw the gate was closed and I couldn't find you anywhere. I guessed you went to the next door, which is an abandoned garden. What's so interesting about it?"
Bai Shanbao glanced at Daji, snorted, and followed.
Zhou Silang went to the kitchen to get some hot food and waved at the four of them, saying, "Hurry up and wash your hands! You're all so dirty! Your hands aren't just from digging holes in the ground. You need to rub mud now, right?"
The four of them went to wash their hands silently, exchanging numerous glares.
Daji sighed and said, "Master, let's eat first. We'll talk after dinner."
Bai Shanbao was satisfied and went to eat with Manbao and the others.
After dinner, the three of them helped Zhou Silang clean up the dishes. Daji glanced at the three people who were washing the dishes together, pulled Zhou Silang, who was wiping the table, aside and said, "I'm going to be out for a while. You keep an eye on them and don't let them go out."
Zhou Silang was surprised. "You're going out? Are you going to buy something? Tell me what you want to buy, and I'll buy it for you."
In his impression, Daji has never left Baishan. As long as Baishan doesn't go out, he will never go out.
At this moment, Daji lowered his voice and said, "I'm not going to buy anything. I'm going out to do something. I will be back in two quarters of an hour at most. Anyway, just keep an eye on them and don't let them go out."
Zhou Silang nodded in confusion, "Okay, I understand."
Daji turned and left.
After Bai Shanbao and the others washed the dishes and wanted to have a good talk with Daji, they found that Daji was missing.
Zhou Silang said to Bai Shanbao and Manbao, who were looking for someone, "Daji is out. Why are you looking for him?"
Manbao and Bai Shanbao both widened their eyes. "He went out? How could he go out?"
"Why can't he go out?" Zhou Silang was confused. "Even though he's a servant, he can still go out, right? You guys don't go out, so what danger can there be at home?"
Zhou Silang pointed at them and said, "You, you, and you, hurry up and go inside and take a nap. You still have to read and write later."
Manbao couldn't help stamping his feet and yelled, "Fourth brother, how could you let Daji go?"
Zhou Silang looked at them suspiciously, "What were you doing next door? Why didn't you let Daji leave?"
Manbao opened her mouth to speak, but Bai Shanbao pulled her and shook his head gently at her.
Manbao glared at Zhou Silang with a frustrated look on his face. They hadn't even read such an important booklet yet.
Bai Erlang yawned. He had no interest in the account book at all and turned back to his room to take a nap.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao were still obsessed with it and a little angry.
The two angry people sat in the study, planning to wait for Daji to come back before talking.
When Daji came back, the two of them were dozing off in the study, their heads nodding. Zhou Silang didn't pay any attention to them. He was sitting in the yard chopping bamboo, planning to weave some baskets and bamboo baskets.
Although his skills are not as good as his second brother's and may have some flaws, it is still okay for home use, which is better than spending money to buy it from outside.
Daji quietly went to the study to take a look at them. He saw that they were sleeping with their heads nodding. After a while, they woke up, raised their heads, but continued to doze off stubbornly.
He coughed lightly with some helplessness, waking the two of them up.
Bai Shanbao was startled awake when he saw Daji. He frowned angrily and asked, "Daji, where is the booklet?"
Manbao also looked at Daji.
Daji said: "It has been sent out."
Bai Shanbao and Manbao both widened their eyes and looked at Daji in disbelief, feeling a little angry and a little confused.
Daji knelt down in front of the two of them, looked at Bai Shan and said softly: "Master, I am here to protect your safety. That thing is deadly. You and Miss Man must not look at it."
"Isn't it just a booklet?" Bai Shanbao said angrily. "I'm just taking a look at it. I won't tell anyone."
"The booklet was hidden in the wall of the Yan family. Apparently, the Yan family didn't tell anyone about it. But where are all the Yan family members now?"
"How are they the same?" Manbao said, "They were corrupt officials, and they were killed because of their corruption."
"Whether it is or not, I don't know," Daji said, "I only know that this thing can't save him, but it may kill him. Similarly, it may also kill the young master and Miss Man."
He raised his head and looked at the two of them and said, "Master, Miss Man, this kind of thing can really kill people. I haven't read as many books as you, but I have experienced more than you. Some things are not written in books, so I can only tell you here that you can't touch or look at things like that. From now on, just pretend you don't know about this. Today we are just going to go next door to look at some flowers and plants, understand?"
Bai Shanbao and Manbao stared at Daji's eyes blankly, and nodded after a while.
Daji finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What about the young master..."
Bai Shanbao waved his hand and said, "I'll tell him. Daji, who did you send the booklet to?"
"Old lady."
Bai Shanbao frowned and stopped asking.
Daji looked at the two of them deeply, then stood up and left.
Manbao and Bai Shanbao exchanged a glance, and after a while, Manbao picked up his pen and asked him, "What should we do?"
Bai Shanbao was silent for a long time. He glanced at Daji who was standing outside the door, sighed, picked up his pen and replied, "Let's listen to him."
Manbao asked, "Aren't you going to tell Magistrate Tang?"
Bai Shanbao nodded. They weren't familiar with County Magistrate Tang, but he picked up his pen and said, "You can tell the gentleman."
Manbao's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, I can tell you, sir."
The two of them waited for the teacher to come back with their chins supported, and they couldn't even concentrate on reading.
Bai Erlang had finished the homework assigned by the teacher. Seeing that they were still holding their chins in a daze, he couldn't help but say, "Isn't it just a booklet? If you don't do your homework, I won't help you when the teacher comes back to punish you."
Manbao finally came back to his senses and looked at him in surprise, "Oh my God, you actually finished your homework."
Bai Erlang said sullenly, "What can I do? I talk to you, but you ignore me. I can't go out to play, and what else can I do if I don't do my homework?"
Manbao glanced at the sky outside. It didn't look like it was getting dark. It seemed that the teacher would be back for a long time. She took out her homework and said to Bai Shanbao, "Let's do our homework first."
Bai Shanbao sighed, "Okay."
Daji saw the expressions of the three children, but he said nothing.
Mr. Zhuang was not sent back until it was dark. He was not drunk, but seemed to have drunk a lot and reeked of alcohol.
The three younger ones helped him into the room, fetched some water for him to wash his hands and face. They wanted to speak, but then felt it was not appropriate at this time, so they shut their mouths again.
Mr. Zhuang placed the towel beside the wooden basin, glanced at Manbao and Bai Shanbao, sat on the bed and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
