Chapter 12: Bai Taotao's Spiritual Energy is Dried Out



Chen Juxiang asked Chen Lanfen, "Did you just arrive?"

Chen Lanfen nodded without saying anything, looking worried.

But at this moment, Chen Juxiang's mind was all on the 500 yuan she had just received, and her mind was full of thoughts: I must find a safe place to hide the money! And this time we have to be on guard against even the little fool...

She didn't care much about Chen Lanfen.

But then I thought: What is Sun Xiumei doing here?

So Chen Juxiang asked, "Xiu Mei, why are you here?!"

Sun Xiumei blushed and stammered, "Grandma, I, I missed you... My mom asked me to come see you, so I, I..."

Chen Juxiang thought for a moment and understood, "Did your mother force you to go see a date again?"

Sun Xiumei's eyes were red, tears were falling, "Brother Jianguo finally gathered 60 yuan yesterday...My mother changed her mind again and said she wanted to raise it to 100 yuan. Brother Jianguo couldn't come up with it, so she kicked him out!"

"I had a few arguments with her, and she got angry, so she forced me to go see a man today. The man is a widower with two children, and he has a lame leg, but the lame man can offer 200 yuan as a betrothal gift... My mother said that it would be better for me to marry a lame man than An Jianguo. I was so angry that I went to my uncle's house. It happened that my aunt came to pick up Sister Lanfen, and I was thinking, I haven't seen you for a long time..."

Chen Juxiang, "We agreed to stay here for three days at most. Otherwise, if your mother comes to make trouble, I won't be able to bear it!"

Sun Xiumei cried even more.

Chen Juxiang hurried back to the house to hide the money, ignored everyone, and ran away with the money.

Tang Liren called out to Bai Zhenggan directly, "Master, go back to the house! It's been drying for the whole morning... Xing'er, go to the kitchen and see if your second aunt needs help! Hui'er, look after Taotao and the red beans and yellow beans!"

As she said that, she helped Bai Zhenggan up, and the couple prepared to go into the house.

Chen Lanfen also stood up and chased after her, "Mom! Can you listen to my explanation? It's not what you think..."

Tan Fenghui was very smart. As soon as she saw this expression, she knew that Chen Lanfen must have done something to displease her mother-in-law again, otherwise her mother-in-law would not have asked Dongsheng to send an urgent telegram to ask Nansheng to come back.

Her parents-in-law must have gone to discuss this matter by now, so what she had to do was to keep an eye on her silly aunt and the children, and not let Chen Lanfen in to disturb their conversation.

So Tan Fenghui smiled and said, "Lanfen, when you went back to your parents' home yesterday, what delicious food did your mother-in-law prepare for you?"

Seeing that Tang Liren ignored her, Chen Lanfen helped Bai Zhenggan leave? She wanted to chase after him, but for some reason she fell weakly into the chair, looking like she was about to cry, and of course she didn't want to pay any attention to Tan Fenghui.

At this time, Bai Lili came back after sending the reporter away, and Tan Fenghui said to her sister-in-law, "Lili, take Taozi, Hongdou, and Huangdou to the back hill to play. Don't go too far, because we'll have lunch soon."

Although Bai Lili felt strange, she still did as she was told and took Bai Taotao and the two children to the back mountain.

Bai Taotao is very interested in the strange things happening at home.

But she was more interested in the back mountain.

——She didn’t know if there were any herbs in this world that she knew of that could cure her father Bai Zhenggan’s back injury. In addition, she also wants to find more fruit trees and the like, so as to improve life at home.

So she followed him to the back mountain.

Ruyi Village is located on the hillside among the rolling mountains. It is said that there are other villages on the top of the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, although the back mountain is covered with dense forest vegetation, it is not sparsely populated.

Even in areas closer to the village, neatly arranged artificial forests have been planted.

As Bai Lili led the group over, she took off the pair of sleeves that covered her arms and placed them on a short tree not far away. She said to Bai Taotao, Hongdou and Huangdou, "You can't go far away... You can't go beyond here!"

Bai Taotao looked around and found that the woods further away seemed to be pitch dark?

Seeing that she was looking around, Hongdou explained, "Auntie, we are not going there. It is a primeval forest with tigers, leopards, and blind bears. They eat people in autumn and winter!"

Bai Taotao nodded and started walking around the area.

Although he just wandered around in the artificial forest, Bai Taotao did not gain nothing.

She found two or three kinds of herbs that were very suitable for treating Bai Zhenggan's back injury, so she carefully dug them up and prepared to take them back...

A deep voice suddenly sounded, [You are the Taotao that Little Grape was talking about, right? 】

Bai Taotao blinked and looked around.

——Neither white pears, red beans nor yellow beans responded to this voice? Bai Lili was squatting not far away digging wild vegetables, while Hongdou and Huangdou were quarreling while turning over stones to catch earthworms hiding in the soil?

[Stop looking for me, you can’t see me now!] I am deep in the woods. 】

Bai Taotao, [Can you see me? 】

After a long while, the low voice said, "I can't see it. The flowers and plants around you told me that." 】

Bai Taotao asked again, [Who are you? 】

[I am the oldest person in this forest, Taotao. When you are free, come and find me alone! 】

Bai Taotao was a little hesitant: considering how much her family valued her, they probably wouldn't let her run into a dangerous forest alone.

Is there anything you can’t tell me now? 】Bai Taotao asked.

[It’s hard to put it into words... Taotao, you must come to me as soon as possible. 】

The old and deep voice gradually faded away...

Bai Taotao began to feel something was wrong.

——Her body gradually became uncontrollable and her limbs became weak? Her vision is also a little blurry! Most importantly, it seemed as if someone had blocked her ears with a piece of cloth, making her hearing seem to become hazy?

It was just like the "stupid" feeling she had before Song Zhi came and she had no spiritual energy to absorb!

Oh no, she's going to turn into a little fool again!

Thinking back, she also had a conversation with Xiao Pu Tao last night, but Song Zhi was there at the time. He had an endless supply of spiritual energy, and she had been absorbing the spiritual energy from him, so she didn't feel her spiritual energy was depleted.

Now Song Zhi is not with her...

And now, she used her spiritual power to talk to the oldest person in the forest for just a few words, and actually exhausted all the spiritual power in her body?

Bai Taotao shouted "Third sister" with all her might, but her legs went limp and she slid uncontrollably toward the ground.

The anxious calls of Hongdou and Huangdou rang in her ears. Bai Taotao even felt that her third sister was hugging her tightly, and seemed to be calling her name anxiously?

Bai Taotao couldn't hear clearly anymore, so she tried to shout, "Go find Song Zhi..."

But her cry turned into an inaudible mosquito whisper, and Bailili and Hongdouhuangdou had no idea what she said.

Bai Taotao seemed to be wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, isolated from the world.

==

In the evening, Song Zhi hesitated for a long time, and finally knocked on the door of the Bai family's main room.

Tan Fenghui came over to open the door with her big belly. When she saw it was Song Zhi, she was stunned.

Song Zhi blushed, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I, I..."

"Come in quickly!" Tan Fenghui pulled Song Zhi into the house and shouted again, "Dad, Mom, Xiao Song is here!"

Tang Liren immediately came out from the inner room, "Xiao Song is here! Oh, you've come just in time... Quick, quick! Go check on Taotao, she's sick again!"

Song Zhi:? ? ?

——No, he is not here to look for Bai Taotao.

But is the little beauty sick?

Before Song Zhi could react, Tang Liren pulled him to the kang bed.

——Bai Taotao lay on the kang with her eyes closed, looking lifeless.

"What's wrong with Taotao?" Song Zhi asked.

Tang Liren said worriedly: "She went to the back hill to play for a while, and suddenly fainted!"

Song Zhi, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Tang Liren, "Not really... She had always been like this before. About a month ago, she started to get better. Yesterday, she was as good as a normal person. She was even smart and cute. I thought she was... healed! But... "

As she spoke, Tang Liren's eyes turned red.

Bai Zhenggan, "Xiao Song, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Song Zhi came back to his senses, "Yes, Uncle Bai, I, I..."

Bai Zhenggan, "Sit down! Sit down! Have you eaten yet? Oh, look at what I'm asking! You must not have eaten at this time? We haven't eaten either, let's eat together!"

Song Zhi sat on the kang bed and said, "Uncle, I won't hide it from you. Jiang Hongzhi is really hard to deal with... So I want to ask if I can eat at your house? I can pay for the food first. Do you think fifteen yuan a month is enough?"

He was a little nervous, not knowing whether fifteen dollars a month for food was too little...

Bai Zhenggan was shocked. "How can I get fifteen dollars a month? No, no, no! Xiao Song, you can eat at Uncle Bai's house from now on. Three meals a day are provided for you... But you have to have some idea about the food at Uncle Bai's house!"

"I can do it. I'm not picky about food." Song Zhi said.

But Bai Taotao was in a daze, and suddenly she smelled a strong and fragrant aura? ? ?

She was overjoyed, knowing that Song Zhi had come!

I just don’t know where Song Zhi is…

In addition, her limbs were out of control, and her hands and feet were waving desperately (in fact, it seemed that they didn't move much), and finally her feet touched a soft and hard body? ? ?

Soon, rich spiritual energy flowed continuously along her toes and from that piece of flesh.

Bai Taotao closed her eyes and calmed down.

After a while, she opened her eyes, looked at the clear world in front of her, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, she finally got back to normal.

When she looked again, Song Zhi was indeed sitting in front of her, but with his back to her? Her feet were stepping on...his butt? ? ?

Uh, his butt is still...

Quite elastic.

Bai Taotao stepped on it hard.

Song Zhi had just finished talking to Bai Zhenggan about living together at Bai's house. When he turned around, he saw that the little beauty lying on the kang bed had opened her eyes and was even half-propping up her body, looking at him with burning eyes.

At the same time, she was stepping on his... buttocks with her toes? ? ?

Song Zhi knew that Bai Taotao was a little fool, and he couldn't treat her as a normal girl, but as a child, so he smiled at her and said, "Taotao, are you awake?"

Bai Taotao liked his attitude and responded sweetly.

As a result, when Tang Liren saw her silly daughter wake up, she was immediately overjoyed. She ran over and hugged Bai Taotao, crying and shouting, "My darling, my dearest daughter, my dearest child"...

Bai Taotao continued to step on Song Zhi's butt with her feet.

He felt a little uncomfortable. If I dodge to the left, her feet will follow me quickly; if I dodge to the right, she will still follow me?

Bai Taotao: Where can the spiritual energy escape? !

Finally, Song Zhi couldn't help but turn his head to take a look, and saw a small and slender jade foot that looked like a white jade carving, playfully and mischievously tapping him, and the round and cute light pink toes were playfully opening and closing from time to time...

For some unknown reason, Song Zhi felt his mouth dry and his heart started beating wildly.
