The village is not big.
The news that Bai Jing had returned from North City quickly spread throughout the village.
On the way to the market, she was frequently approached by people who asked her about life in the city.
When Bai Jing arrived at the market, Bai Laosan saw her. At first he thought he was seeing things and looked a little surprised.
"Xiao Jing? Aren't you in North City? Why did you come back suddenly?"
Bai Jing gave a brief account of the situation, and after listening to it, Bai Laosan fell into silence with a complicated expression on his face.
After a moment, he sighed.
"Your Aunt Yu did something quite... I'll go back and talk to her about it."
After a pause, he asked again.
"How are you doing with your uncle? Do you have enough money? Are you getting along well with your classmates at school?"
...
...
"They are all pretty good. I know a lot of friends," Bai Jing took out an envelope and stuffed it directly into her father's hand. "My grades are also pretty good."
Bai Laosan didn't know what Bai Jing gave him. He opened the envelope and took a look with some confusion. He found a stack of banknotes inside and was stunned.
“This…”
Bai Jing said calmly, "Keep these and don't tell anyone. If anything happens in the future, you can use them as an emergency."
She doesn't think she is a good person, but Bai Jing will remember clearly when others treat her well.
When she left the village, Old Man Bai scraped together some money and gave her a few dollars.
She now has some spare money, so naturally she will not forget about this matter.
"But you need money to go to school in Beicheng," Bai Laosan looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so he whispered, "You should keep the flowers for yourself."
Bai Jing held his hand, chuckled and shook her head.
“I can make this and more.”
"Well... okay," Bai Lao San put away the envelope as he was told. After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "Are you going back to North City tonight?"
Bai Jing said no.
"Then have dinner at home tonight. Dad will make you your favorite soup." Bai Lao San patted her shoulder. "Stay overnight and leave tomorrow during the day."
Bai Jing thought that the train was the day after tomorrow anyway, so she could just rest at home tonight and meet up with Jiang Ziqian in the morning, so she nodded in agreement.
Bai Laosan hadn't seen his daughter for half a year, so he simply closed his stall early and went home with Bai Jing.
When the old lady saw Bai Jing enter the room, she became increasingly angry.
"You still remember to come back?!"
The next second, I saw my son come into the room, shouting at the top of his voice.
"Third brother, you better take care of your daughter! She is so outrageous!"
Bai Jing knew that the old man was stubborn and believed that only boys could continue the family line. This concept was deeply rooted and could not be changed overnight.
As long as she refuses to compromise, the old lady will always dislike her.
I was too lazy to listen to her nagging at this moment, so I went straight back to my room.
I thought I had a whole day, plenty of time, and no need to rush.
Unexpectedly, it started to rain heavily outside at around five or six in the morning.
The raindrops connected into pieces and fell down like blades.
The field of vision became very small, with visibility even less than ten meters. It was not the right weather to go out.
This kind of rain usually doesn't last too long, but today it rained all morning.
After waiting for a long time for the rain to stop, we heard that a section of the road out of the village was buried by mud and cars could not drive out.
"...It's been a long time since it rained this hard. It must have been about ten years, right?"
"I feel that this rain is unusual. The weather was so good a few days ago, but as soon as someone came back, it started to rain heavily and even the roads were blocked."
"Speaking of the last rain, I remember her house..."
"Shh! Stop talking!"
Someone saw Bai Jing coming over and quickly nudged the villager next to him with his elbow, signaling him to shut up.
Bai Jing could actually hear what they said, but her expression didn't change much. She just asked them calmly.
"I heard the road outside is blocked?"
"Yes," one of them answered, "Our Erniu wanted to go to town, but when he was halfway there, he found that a large section of the road was buried. Now cars outside can't get in, and cars inside can't get out!"
Bai Jing asked again.
"Just the car can't move?"
The other party understood what she meant and was startled.
"Jing, you don't want to just walk over there, do you? That's too dangerous! What if you fall off the mountain? And even if you can walk through that section, there's still a lot of distance left. It will take at least two or three hours, right?"
"That's right," the person next to him agreed, "I think you should just wait for two or three days. Once the road is cleared, you can take a bus out."
Bai Jing calculated the time and shook her head.
"I have an exam and need to catch a train tomorrow morning. If I'm late, I'll be too late."
I don't know when it started to drizzle again.
They fell on the girl's long black eyelashes, like tiny, sparkling diamonds.
The sky was a little dark, but her eyes were bright, her gaze firm and dazzling.
The villagers were frightened by her eyes and sighed softly.
"Hey, I've never been to school, so I don't know anything about exams. How about this, when the rain stops, I'll ask Erniu to take you there."
Bai Jing smiled and thanked him.
I just didn’t expect that the rain would last for half a day.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that it finally stopped completely.
"Bai Jing, do you really want to leave now?"
Erniu was driving the tractor and looking at the quiet and pretty girl standing on the side of the road, his tone somewhat uncertain.
"Yes, thank you for your help," Bai Jing nodded and jumped into the car holding the handrail. "If we delay any longer, I don't know when it will start raining again. Just take me to the front of that road."
Although the rain has stopped, there is still a lot of water on the ground.
Especially on this kind of bumpy dirt road, one step down will get you covered in mud.
"We can only go this far," Erniu led Bai Jing to that section of road, looking a little embarrassed, "If we go any further, the car might fall down."
"Okay, thank you," Bai Jing got out of the car and stuffed some money into the other party's pocket. "Please also thank Aunt Wang for me."
She left home at around seven o'clock and it took her forty minutes to get here. If everything goes well, she should be able to get back to town before twelve o'clock.
Bai Jing took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and walked forward.
She observed the road conditions carefully and walked cautiously and carefully. Although it looked a little dangerous, her steps were very steady.
Just when we were about to finish the journey, a drizzle started to fall at an inopportune time.
The rain fell on my face, leaving a cold mark of water.
Bai Jing suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next second, the flat soil under my feet sank.
She subconsciously tried to keep her balance and grab something around her, but her right hand was inexplicably powerless.
Just at this moment, a figure rushed towards her.
The slender and strong arms grabbed her waist and pulled her into a warm embrace.
The voice in my ear was very cold, without any warmth at all.
"I think you are really not afraid of death."
Bai Jing raised her head and saw a layer of raindrops hanging on the other person's lens, and the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
"Isn't it the same for Teacher Jiang?"
