Chapter 122: A stream they can't cross

The carriage went forward into the woods for a while, and when it could not go any further, the young ladies got off the carriage with their maids.

Most of the maids carried food boxes in their hands, so that their mistresses could have some tea and snacks in the scenic Red Maple Valley.

The drivers were waiting in the woods, and the young ladies were chatting and laughing as they walked towards the Red Maple Valley.

Bai Zhongsheng wished he could walk with Xingxing all the way and live like Xingxing's little tail.

Xing Xing couldn't avoid it, so she puffed up her cheeks and discussed with Bai Zhongsheng: "Then you can't pull Xing Xing's braid anymore."

Bai Zhongsheng had been scolded by his sister in the carriage and didn't dare to touch Xingxing's little hair. But when he heard that Xingxing had only made such a request, he was so happy that he replied repeatedly: "No, absolutely not!"

Only then did Xingxing nod seriously, expressing her willingness to reconcile.

As a result, Bai Zhongsheng came over and tried to pull Xingxing's skirt with itchy hands. Xingxing's skirt was made by Bai Xiaofeng herself. Because winter was approaching and the temperature was very cold, she took some scraps of rabbit skin and rolled it around the edge of Xingxing's skirt. It looked warm and simple and cute.

Bai Zhongsheng had never seen this style of skirt before and couldn't help but reach out to pull it.

Pull a handful of hair.

Xing Xing was a little confused at first, but then she saw Bai Zhongsheng blowing the rabbit hair on his hand for fun. She was startled and stepped back hastily, saying to Bai Zhongsheng in a panic, "This is the dress that Second Auntie made for Xing Xing, don't mess with it!"

Isn't it just a fur coat? Bai Zhongsheng was a little puzzled, but also had a bit of childish boldness: "...This fur is a bit hard, not very good. My sister just got a white fox fur. I will give it to you later!"

"..."Bai Zhongsheng's sister's forehead was bulging with veins.

It’s hard, the fist is hard.

Xingxing hid behind Yaocui and said in a muffled voice: "Xingxing, don't do that. Just don't pull her clothes!"

Bai Zhongsheng wanted to chase Xingxing, but Yaocui hurried to stop him. Fan Pingfang said with a fake smile, "...my sister is afraid of you. Xiaosheng, be honest. Otherwise, I will tell Uncle Bai when I go back and ask him to give you more homework."

Bai Zhongsheng was shocked, looking at Fan Pingfang as if he was looking at the ultimate evil person: "How come you are even more evil than my sister?"

Miss Bai couldn't bear it any longer, she walked forward angrily, grabbed Bai Zhongsheng's ear and pulled him back.

For a moment, the forest was filled with Bai Zhongsheng's ghostly howlings.

It didn't take long for the young ladies and their maids to walk to Red Maple Valley.

The maple trees in late autumn have fiery red leaves, and it seems as if the entire forest is a world of red.

There is another small stream flowing through the mountain stream. The swift flowing water and the rugged rocks create a very unique scenery.

Not to mention the maple trees on the mountains are like fire, reflecting the human world.

The view is full of stunning scenery.

At this moment, even Bai Zhongsheng forgot about playing with Xingxing. He was fascinated by the scenery here. He shouted and ran to the stream to play.

Miss Bai came to her senses, shouted, and chased after her brother: "Don't get too close to the stream!"

She regretted for the thirty-fifth time why she had agreed to bring this nasty brother to play when he pestered her.

The rest of the maids quickly found a suitable place for them to sit around and drink tea and enjoy the view, spread out a coarse linen mat, placed some exquisite snacks on the table, and let the young ladies sit down and rest.

The young ladies were in high spirits, enjoying the scenery and chatting.

Although Xingxing was visiting the Red Maple Valley for the first time, she had always lived in a mountain village where there were many magnificent and unique scenery. Although the scenery of the Red Maple Valley was beautiful, she was not overly intoxicated.

While everyone else was admiring the scenery, Xingxing squatted among the nearby rocks and picked a lot of common herbs.

But she went out to play and didn't bring any basket to hold things, so she had to carry the herbs in one hand and bring them back to the place where Fan Pingfang and the others were enjoying the view.

"Xingxing, what are these?" Fan Pingfang asked curiously.

Xingxing pointed at the herbs carefully and explained them to Fan Pingfang one by one.

Fan Pingfang was amazed and praised: "Our Xingxing has the ability to identify herbs."

Xingxing smiled shyly.

Bai Zhongsheng, who was pulled back from the creek by Miss Bai, leaned over and curiously fiddled with the herbs Xing Xing had placed on the ground: "...Aren't these herbs all over the ground? Why are you pulling them out?"

Although Bai Zhongsheng translated the herbs in a mess, Xing Xing still patiently explained to Bai Zhongsheng what they were.

Even a few simple sentences about the benefits of these herbs were added.

Bai Zhongsheng seemed to have heard some of it, and his face was full of surprise: "...These herbs have such effects, it's amazing."

Miss Bai sat next to Fan Pingfang. Seeing that her troublemaker brother had finally calmed down, she breathed a sigh of relief. She took the water bag handed to her by the maid, drank two sips, and breathed a sigh of relief. She said to Fan Pingfang, "If I bring this debt collector out again next time, I will be the biggest fool in the world."

Fan Pingfang pursed her lips and smiled softly.

For these rich girls from the county towns, the experience of chatting, admiring the scenery and having snacks beside the mountain stream with fiery red maples is quite novel.

In addition, Xingxing is innocent, naive and cute, and Bai Zhongsheng is lively and funny. The two little kids chattering about herbs add a bit of liveliness to this cozy and pleasant environment.

Fan Pingfang and her friends all had happy and relaxed smiles on their faces, and it was obvious that they were all very happy.

However, not long after, some uninvited guests arrived on the other side of the stream.

The path in the forest is too narrow for a carriage to pass, but a person can pass on horseback.

The four burly men were holding horses in their hands, and their faces looked dusty. It was obvious that they were in a hurry and let the horses drink water by the stream.

These people had fierce looks on their faces, and when they saw a few girls admiring the scenery on the other side of the stream, their eyes flashed with ferocity.

Fan Pingfang and the others vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Fan Pingfang stood up.

The other three ladies also stood up one after another.

A drop of sweat broke out on Miss Bai's forehead. She whispered to the maid, "Don't worry about these things. Let's hide for now."

She pulled Bai Zhongsheng along and was about to leave.

Bai Zhongsheng was unhappy at first, but when he saw his sister's expression, he was stunned for a moment, stopped making a fuss, and behaved himself.

Fan Pingfang and Yao Cui protected Xingxing, their faces looked bad, and they wanted to leave too.

However, at this moment, those burly men laughed loudly: "Girls, where are you going?"

The lady surnamed Liu's legs went limp.

If the maid hadn't supported her, she would have fallen.

This is obviously not something a nice person would say!

Several young ladies sensed the danger and their faces turned pale.

Miss Gao comforted Miss Liu in a low voice: "...Don't worry, there's a stream across the river, they can't get over."
