Chapter 24 Shameless, invincible...
Bai Taotao was awakened by hunger.
I was awakened by the aroma of food.
I was also awakened by the pounding of the earth beneath me...
She rubbed her eyes, sat up, and thought to herself. She still remembered that she was lying in Song Zhi's arms last night. Although it was not as soft as the bedding at home, it was also quite comfortable.
how--
"Are you awake? Come and eat roasted yam." Song Zhi's voice sounded.
When Bai Taotao heard that there was food, she looked around for a while, then got up and ran towards Song Zhi.
Song Zhi had started a fire not far away and was digging something into the fire with a wooden stick. There were a few things that looked like tree branches and were roasted to ashes lying next to him.
"Is this yam?" Tao Tao asked doubtfully. Seeing Song Zhi nod, she felt even more strange. "This... looks like a corn stalk."
Song Zhi smiled, pulled out the other yams from the fire, put them aside to dry, then picked a few leaves, wiped them clean with his sleeves, and tore open the surface of the roasted yam through the leaves, revealing the hot, moist and white flesh inside.
"Come and eat--" Song Zhi said.
Taotao knelt in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and carefully licked the white, stringy flesh.
Hmm! tasty!
Taotao then took the big leaf handed to her by Song Zhi with a smile on her face and started eating the yam flesh in small bites.
Song Zhi saw that she was like a cat. He first stretched out his pink little tongue and licked it quickly, then pursed his lips.
His heart was moved, thinking that she had eaten him like this last night...
Something was gradually getting out of control, and it made his mouth dry and his tongue smell bad.
Song Zhi turned his head to the side, not looking at her, and took another deep breath.
"Song Zhi, I was so hungry yesterday! I...well, this is delicious! I told you I dreamed of eating meat last night! It's delicious...but it's a little tough, I couldn't chew it no matter how hard I tried...I ate it all night and my teeth hurt!"
Taotao held the big leaf and ate the yam flesh inside while telling about her dream last night.
Then, she saw Song Zhi lift up his sleeves with resentment and roll them up again.
——On the strong muscles of his wheat-colored arms, there were several neatly arranged small teeth marks. The marks were not deep, but shallow and slightly red.
Bai Taotao: ...
"Did I bite it?" Taotao asked stutteringly.
Song Zhi said "hmm".
Bai Taotao stared at the row of teeth marks, not knowing what to say, so she just said, "...it looks really good."
Song Zhi:? ? ?
He laughed dumbly and rubbed her head with his hand. "Let's find the fake banana quickly. Once we find it, we'll go back immediately. Your parents must be worried sick."
Taotao said nothing.
She was not worried about this because the old man had already told her where the false banana and the other two grass seeds were.
Taotao was thinking about something else.
——She gave the old man some spiritual power last night.
The old man thought for a long time and said, "I'm sorry, Taotao. I can only feel that the energy you gave me made me sharp-eyed and very comfortable... but I don't know what it is."
However, the old man gave Taotao a suggestion.
Grandpa and Little Grape can both feel this energy, so even if others cannot feel it, it really exists. Since it is energy and exists, it can definitely find a container. If there is no suitable container, create one.
For example, water can turn into steam or into ice. Wood can be fossilized or turned into charcoal...
Bai Taotao was confused.
So, she can use Song Zhi's spiritual power to create an inner elixir in her own body?
But this is easier said than done!
I'll have to slowly figure it out.
Bai Taotao indeed found the false banana and two other plants near the ginkgo tree and successfully obtained the seeds. Then she made an agreement with the old man and went back to find people and tools to treat the old man, and then she and Song Zhi set off on the return journey.
Taotao had never walked such a long distance before, and both of her feet were covered with blisters that hurt when touched.
Song Zhi took off his shirt and used it as a bag. He put Taotao behind him and tied the corners and sleeves of his shirt in front of him. He carried Taotao on his back like the women in the village who tied up their babies with cloth belts, and the two of them walked towards the village together.
Halfway through the journey, Bai Taotao relied on Song Zhi's presence and first held the three small seeds in her palms and infused spiritual power into them.
But for some reason, no matter how frantically she input spiritual energy, the three kinds of twenty or thirty small seeds did not respond at all...
Taotao was so tired that she felt drowsy, and Song Zhi was so exhausted that he was out of breath.
He walked without stopping until the sun set in the west, when he finally heard the barking of dogs in the village in the distance.
"We... are here!" Song Zhi shouted loudly towards the graceful figure in the distance.
Bai Taotao, who was lying on his back, was awakened.
She rubbed her eyes and said, "Song Zhi, I'm hungry..."
Song Zhi comforted her with a hoarse voice, "Bear with it a little longer, we'll be home soon."
There were shouts and cries in the distance—
"Is it Song Zhi? Is it Song Zhi?"
"Is it Taotao? Taotao! Is it you?!"
"Song Zhi! I can see clearly, it's Song Zhi!"
"Song Zhi...are you and Taotao together?"
Song Zhi responded loudly, "Tao Tao and I are together... We are together!"
He walked hurriedly over there, and the villagers over there also walked hurriedly over here—
Soon, the two groups met each other.
The one leading the front was none other than Bai Dongsheng!
Bai Dongsheng's eyes were red, and a circle of blisters appeared on the edges of his lips. He rushed straight towards Song Zhi.
Song Zhi just put Taotao down from his back...
Bai Dongsheng raised his fist, which was as big as a casserole, and punched Song Zhi!
Song Zhi dodged it narrowly, "Brother! Wait a minute...listen to me!"
Bai Dongsheng roared, "What do you want to say? What else do you want to say? You kidnapped my sister into the deep mountains and forests and didn't come back for a whole day and a whole night! Song Zhi! You dare to bully my sister... I will tear you apart!"
As he spoke, Bai Dongsheng had already thrown several punches at Song Zhi.
Song Zhi didn't dare to fight back, he just dodged.
The villagers advised:
"Dongsheng, let's talk nicely!"
"Don't do it rashly, Song Zhi is not that kind of person!"
"Dongsheng, why don't you ask Taozi and find out clearly first."
"Dongsheng, we are reasonable people and we don't hit people."
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me..."
Taotao took out two wild fruits from the basket and ran towards her eldest brother, "Brother! Brother——"
Bai Dongsheng was about to throw a punch, but when he saw his sister rushing towards him, he quickly stopped.
Taotao ran to her brother and stuffed a wild fruit into his mouth.
Bai Dongsheng subconsciously opened his mouth and put it in, then saw his sister stuff another fruit into Song Zhi's mouth? ? ?
The two men glared at each other, panting and slowly calming down.
Bai Dongsheng suppressed his anger and asked his sister, "Where have you been? You didn't come back all night. Can you bear it?"
Taotao hugged her brother's arm and shook it, "I asked Song Zhi to accompany me to the woods to find wishing seeds!"
"What kind of seeds?"
"Make a wish and plant seeds!"
"What's the use?"
"It will protect my second brother!"
Bai Taotao said seriously: "I will put the wishing seeds into a sachet and send it to my second brother. From now on, my second brother will be safe and sound!"
Bai Dongsheng: ...
He subconsciously felt that such a naive and childish statement as "making a wish and planting seeds" must be a whimsical statement made by city people like Song Zhi or Yan Naqian.
But the silly sister said that she went to look for it for Nansheng? Does she hope that Nansheng will live in peace?
No matter how angry he was, Bai Dongsheng could no longer blame his sister. He just felt unwilling to give up, so he pointed at Song Zhi and asked Tao Tao, "Then why don't you tell big brother? Let big brother go with you? Why do you insist on... finding him and asking him to go with you?"
Tao Tao said loudly: "I like my brother, and I like Song Zhi too!"
The crowd watching was in an uproar.
Song Zhi's face turned red with embarrassment.
Bai Dongsheng was also a little embarrassed, so he had to shout in a low voice, "Don't talk about likes and dislikes in the future. Let's go back quickly, our parents are worried sick..." He held his sister's hand and walked home.
Taotao limped a few steps—
Bai Dongsheng immediately asked nervously: "Is your foot injured?"
"Taotao's feet are tender and she has more than ten blisters on them." Song Zhi explained.
Bai Dongsheng glared at Song Zhi fiercely, squatted down, carried Taotao on his back, and walked home while saying to Song Zhi angrily: "Why don't you hurry up and follow me?!"
Song Zhi followed.
When the villagers learned that Song Zhi and Tao Tao had returned safely, they felt relieved. Plus, it was already late, so everyone was anxious to go home and get food.
At that moment, everyone walked towards the village while persuading Dongsheng not to be angry. After entering the village, everyone went their separate ways.
Xing Xing was standing at the intersection of her home. She saw from afar that her eldest brother was carrying her fourth sister, with Song Zhi following slowly behind.
She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Mom! Mom... Fourth sister is back! Brother Song Zhi is back too!"
"Bang!"
Tang Liren rushed out of her own yard as fast and swift as a cannonball, and saw her silly daughter, whom she had been thinking about day and night, timidly showing half of her face from behind her eldest son?
Tang Liren was relieved and started to cry, "My son! Your mother turned around and farted, and where did you go? Do you not want your mother or your father? You debt collector... do you want to piss me off to death? Ah? Just piss me off to death! If I die, I won't be able to control you anymore, I won't be able to control you anymore!"
Bai Taotao bit the fingers of her left hand and curled herself into a small ball.
"What should I do? Mom and Dad are so angry..." she muttered to herself.
When her eldest brother, who was carrying her on his back, heard this, he calmed down and scolded her, "Are you scared now? Do you know how scared your family was when they found out you were missing?"
Taotao admitted her mistake obediently, "I'm sorry, brother." After thinking for a while, she timidly said, "Brother, help me..."
Bai Dongsheng: ...
At this time, Tang Liren ran to Dongsheng crying and was about to speak -
Bai Dongsheng, "Mom, Taotao has more than a dozen blisters on her feet! And...my sister is starving, get her something to eat first!"
Tang Liren's anger immediately turned into heartache. She turned behind her son and looked at her silly daughter who was covered in dirt. Tears streamed down her face. "My son, where have you been? Why do you have so many blisters on your feet? Are you hungry? Mommy will make you some steamed eggs, okay?"
Then he urged Dongsheng, "Hurry up, hurry up! Your father is also very worried at home, let him see Taozi, he is so anxious..."
Song Zhi, who was one step behind, was startled when he heard the three words "steamed egg". He looked embarrassed and didn't know whether to walk or stand.
Finally found that no one cares about him...
He calmed down and slowly followed.
After entering the house, Tan Fenghui, holding her big belly, asked anxiously, "Taotao, where have you been? Why didn't you tell your sister-in-law when you went out? The whole family was so worried about you..."
Tao Tao said softly, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law!"
Dongsheng put her on the kang bed.
Li Zi and Apricot Zi came over.
"Taozi, where have you been? Did you feel wronged?"
"Fourth sister, please don't run away without saying a word like this in the future. It scares people to death..."
Red beans and yellow beans also said in unison:
"Fourth aunt, you are not behaving well!"
"Fourth aunt, you ran away. Grandpa and grandma were so worried that they cried. Dad and the third and fifth aunts looked for you all night..."
Taotao feels guilty.
Taotao quickly took out the fake banana seeds that she had carefully kept in a handkerchief from her small backpack and showed them to everyone. She also told everyone why she went out to look for these wishing seeds and wanted to sew them into a sachet to send to her second brother.
Taotao also sincerely apologized to everyone in the family——
"I'm sorry, Dad. I won't sneak out like this again."
"I'm sorry, Mom, for making you worry about me..."
"I'm sorry, brother..."
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry..."
"Third sister..."
…
Even Huangdou, who was less than four years old, received Taotao's most sincere apology.
The whole family fell silent.
Just looking at Taotao, whose face was stained with sweat and dust, but still beautiful and lovely, and her panic-stricken expression, which was filled with mist and sadness, as if she was about to cry...
All the anger in the family has subsided.
At that moment, Tang Liren quickly asked Lili to boil water, asked Taotao and Song Zhi to take a bath, and asked Xingxing to fetch water for Taotao to wash up. Then she arranged for dinner. Thinking that steaming eggs would take a long time, she simply asked Lili to make another poached egg and vegetable leaf soup, and added a poached egg for each person in the family...
After a busy time, Taotao and Song Zhi washed up and it was time to eat.
Taotao was starving. Looking at the hot soup and hot rice on the table, she ate a full bowl of rice, which usually only ate half a bowl of rice. She then added soup twice and finally burped with fullness. She felt completely relaxed.
Seeing that everyone was full, Song Zhi said, "Uncle, Auntie..."
As soon as he opened his mouth to speak, the Bai family members all stared at him, and there was resentment in everyone's eyes - it was the hateful look of poor people who had the only piece of fat meat in their home snatched away by a hungry wolf.
Song Zhi said awkwardly, "I, I...I want to tell you two something..."
Before he finished his sentence, his face turned red and he glanced at Taotao guiltily.
Taotao knew what he wanted to say, but she didn't agree with it.
——Mortals, it’s really strange. Didn't she just eat him a few times and didn't sleep with him, so how did it come to the point where they had to get married? And he still doesn't want to get married.
Song Zhi, under tremendous pressure, whispered, "I want to marry Tao Tao, I hope you two can agree."
The whole family was silent.
Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren exchanged glances.
In fact, two days ago, the couple had reached a consensus - are Song Zhi and Tao Tao in love?
Emotionally speaking, the Bai couple certainly hope that their silly daughter can have a good home.
Yes, even if Taotao never gets married, Dongsheng and Huier will support her. If nothing else, at least we can have enough food and warm clothes. But the care from my brother and sister-in-law is never as meticulous as the one beside me...
But from a rational point of view, Song Zhi was a city dweller, an intellectual, a teacher who taught college students, and he knew three foreign languages. Although he is in the countryside now, he may return to the city at any time! They returned to Kyoto!
Will Taotao be happy if she follows him? Will the marriage between a mentally retarded girl from the countryside and a young man who is a high-level intellectual in the city be blessed and recognized by the man's relatives, family, friends, and teachers? If those people did not approve of Taotao and did not bless Taotao and Song Zhi's marriage, how much suffering would Taotao have to endure in the future!
Well, I'm in a dilemma.
But now, what happened is that Song Zhi kidnapped Taotao and took her into the mountains for a day and two nights?
Bai Zhenggan and Tang Liren changed their minds.
"Let's talk about this later." Bai Zhenggan said.
How could Song Zhi not hear the hidden meaning in his words? He was going to try to persuade the Bai couple...
Taotao asked, "Mom, did you catch the blind bear?"
Tang Liren, "No!" Then she told him about the joint defense with Jixiang Village that night, and also told him how she found out Taotao was missing.
--In the evening of that day, everyone found that the blind bears appeared in the cornfield near Jixiang Village, so everyone beat drums and gongs and shouted loudly, and drove the three blind bears, one big and two small, into the depths of the dense forest. Everyone kept chasing it for two or three hours, and only after they were sure that the blind bear would not come back in the short term did they return together.
As a result, when Tang Liren and Bai Dongsheng returned home, they found that Taotao was missing!
Xing Xing cried and told her mother and brother what happened:
——Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Fourth Sister said she was tired from cleaning the yard and wanted to sleep. Xingxing didn't quarrel with her, but until it was dark, her family was waiting for her to eat. She knocked on the door and called out several times but no one answered. So she pushed the door open and saw...the person was gone! Then I saw a note left on the table saying that she went to the ancestral home to look for Bai Zhenzhu?
Bai Zhenggan didn't dare to trouble his pregnant daughter-in-law, so he took Xingxing out of the house and wanted to go to the ancestral home to look for someone.
The village was under martial law at the time, and the women's patrol team did not allow people to go out. But seeing that one of the father and son was sick and the other was weak, the women's patrol team ran errands for them and went to the ancestral house to ask...
The answer I got was: Taotao didn’t go there at all!
This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.
Bai Zhenggan, leaning on a cane, insisted on going to the back mountain to look for someone, wondering if his precious daughter had been taken away by a blind bear...
The women's patrol team tried their best to stop him, and both sides were arguing until Tang Liren and Bai Dongsheng hurried back and heard that Taotao was missing?
Bai Dongsheng quickly gathered the remaining team together again. They searched in the dense forest all night and found their way back during the day.
At this point, Tang Liren sniffed and poked her silly, heartless daughter with her finger, "If you dare to run like this again, I will..."
After poking with her finger, she suddenly found a small red mark on her daughter's delicate forehead?
Tang Liren felt distressed again, "Look at your skin, it's even more tender than tofu. You must have suffered a lot in the woods, right?" She had completely forgotten the harsh words she had just said.
Taotao felt a little aggrieved. "My soles are worn out and my feet hurt."
Tang Liren grabbed her daughter's feet and took one look at them. She felt so distressed, "Oh my goodness! How come there are so many big blisters!"
He quickly told Lili, "Hurry up and bring the alcohol and sewing needle over so I can pick out the blister for Taotao..."
Taotao quickly retracted her foot, "Mom, I'll do it myself! I'll prick it myself after I take a shower!"
On the other side, Song Zhi had already told Bai Zhenggan about the plane that had crashed decades ago and that he and Taotao saw when they went to the jungle to look for the fake banana tree.
Bai Zhenggan looked serious when he heard this. "Oh, this is a big deal. We have to report it to our superiors immediately."
Song Zhi said, "Uncle, I will go to the county town tomorrow. Can you wait for me to come back and report to the superiors?"
Bai Zhenggan has always known what Song Zhi is thinking. After thinking for a while, he nodded: "Don't worry, I trust you. I'll talk to you after you've dealt with it."
Bai Xingxing huddled in the corner and clearly heard Song Zhi proposing marriage to her parents - he wanted to marry her fourth sister?
She looked at Song Zhi in surprise, then at her fourth sister.
——In her dream, Song Zhi married Yan Naqian. Does it mean that after being flapped by this little butterfly, everyone’s fate has changed?
Xing Xing tried hard to recall the dream and finally remembered a detail:
——Song Sui later became a billionaire. When he and Yan Naqian had not yet divorced, the magazine once published their beautiful love story. There is a mention in it: Yan Naqian's marriage with her ex-husband was in name only. After her divorce, Song Sui pursued her, but she felt very inferior about her divorced status. Song Sui encouraged her and said: Modern women have the right to pursue free love even if they are divorced, not to mention that you and him have only maintained a formal marriage for a few years.
So, the marriage between Song Zhi and Yan Naqian in their previous life was really just a marriage of convenience?
So, what was the reason that made Song Zhi choose to marry Yan Naqian?
Xing Xing didn’t pay much attention to Song Zhi in the dream, but now it seems that Song Zhi has no good feelings towards Yan Naqian at all... It seems that it is the same in the dream world - this means that Song Zhi is willing to have a marriage of convenience with Yan Naqian in order to avoid a bigger trouble!
Xing Xing bit her lower lip, very worried.
Her fourth sister is so cute, she can't suffer this injustice! If she would suffer injustice by following Song Zhi, then Xingxing would rather be like in her dream, where she is the one who supports her fourth sister in the end. Even if the two sisters lived a poorer and more difficult life, at least they were not bullied.
Just at this time, Bai Xingxing heard Song Zhi say that he was going to the city tomorrow?
She thought: It has been more than half a month since she wrote to Song Sui last time. If Song Sui wanted to reply, she should have received it by now. If he was unwilling to reply, then she would have to go to the city to check and confirm, and if that didn't work, she would think of other ways.
So Xingxing said again: "Brother Song Zhi, if you want to go into the city tomorrow, can you take me with you..." She paused, feeling that it was a bit inappropriate for her to go alone with Song Zhi? So he changed his tone, "Take me and my mom with you, we'll go into the city to buy some food for my sister-in-law to replenish her body, her due date is in a few days."
Bai Taotao immediately said, "I want to go too!"
Tang Liren, "You are not allowed to go! Look at those blisters on the soles of your feet! You should rest at home!"
Bai Taotao stuck her neck out and shouted, "Then I don't want Song Zhi to take me there, I'll go by myself!" Suddenly she remembered that she had no money, so she quickly changed her words, "I'll take him there!"
Tang Liren scolded, "What are you capable of? One day you ran off to the woods by yourself, and the next day you went to the county town by yourself!"
"Mom, I want to go, I want to go! I'm going to the county town to do some speculation and trade!" Taotao started to act coquettishly.
Tang Liren was so frightened that her face turned pale and she yelled, "What? What are you going to do?"
Taotao: ...
She smiled brightly and sweetly, lowered her voice and whispered, "I'm going to the county town to earn some money and buy some pork for mom to eat!"
Tang Liren: ...
Well, the girl is so pretty and naughty, but she can't bear to scold or hit her. What should she do?
Song Zhi, "Aunt, let's go together. Let my uncle give me a letter of introduction... Last time, the director of the Red Star Machinery Factory in the county gave me an invitation letter, inviting me to work as a technical instructor in their factory. Let's use this as an excuse to go."
Tang Liren hesitated for a moment, "Can I... go too?"
Song Zhi nodded.
Xing Xing, "It's settled then. I'll go too!"
Lili also wanted to go, "Then can I, can I go?"
Bai Zhenggan was overwhelmed by his daughters' troubles. He waved his hand and said, "All of you go!"
After everyone discussed it, Taotao took a shower first, then returned to the house and used a sewing needle coated with alcohol to prick the blisters on the soles of her feet, and then applied some ointment.
But looking at the red blisters on my white and tender feet...
She was a little worried.
——She has decided to go to the city to resell some things to earn some money tomorrow, but if her feet remain like this, won’t she suffer? It seems impossible that it can be cured overnight.
After thinking about it, Taotao opened the window of her room.
The window faces the courtyard of the house, and one can see the inner door of Song Zhi's room.
She took a wild fruit that she had picked deep in the dense forest during the day and threw it towards Song Zhi's room, hitting him right in the middle with a dull "bang".
Tao Tao called out softly: "Song Zhi! Song Zhi——"
In the darkness, someone coughed twice.
Taotao recognized that it was the voice of her brother Bai Dongsheng.
But Tao Tao was unmoved and continued to lie by the window, calling out softly, "Song Zhi... Song Zhi, are you asleep? You haven't touched my head today!"
There was a "puff" sound and Bai Dongsheng, who lived in the house next door, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The gentle voice of the elder sister-in-law could be heard faintly, "Dongsheng, what's wrong?"
Brother Dongsheng said softly, "It's okay," and closed the window.
Taotao continued to shout, "Song Zhi! Song Zhi..." Is he already asleep?
“Squeak—”
Song Zhi's door opened.
The yard was dark and Taotao couldn't see anything.
But Taotao could feel a group of spiritual energy coming towards her...
She smiled happily and immediately clenched her handkerchief - the handkerchief contained fake banana seeds.
Soon, Song Zhi walked to her window.
Taotao, who was lying by the window, saw Song Zhi, who must have just taken a shower and whose hair was still dripping with water.
She quickly lowered her head and said, "Quick! Touch Taotao's head."
Song Zhi stood in front of her window and saw her lying there with her head down, her furry head drooping...
The warm candlelight coming from her room illuminated her graceful neck, making it look delicate and exquisite. Because it was hot, she wore a sleeveless coat. Her two slender arms, like jade lotus roots, were resting on the window frame, breathtakingly beautiful.
Tao Tao was a little surprised to see that he didn't move for a long time. She raised her head and asked him curiously, "Why don't you touch it?"
The beautiful eyes, which are smart and clever, blink continuously, and the expression is innocent and cute.
Song Zhi couldn't help laughing and reached out to touch her head.
Taotao suddenly felt as if she was surrounded by spiritual energy and felt extremely comfortable. She thought to herself: Please heal the blisters on my feet quickly! In addition, the fake banana also needs a little more spiritual energy!
Song Zhi stroked Taotao's hair, and felt it was soft, delicate, and silky. When he grasped it, the black hair spread out, smooth and cool...
He had never touched a girl's hair before. After rubbing it for a while, he suddenly let go and said in a hoarse voice, "It's too late. You should go to bed early." Then he turned around and left in a hurry.
For some reason, Taotao felt like he was running away?
The next morning, Taotao found that the soles of her feet felt much better! Although it is not completely healed, new skin has grown out and it doesn't hurt much anymore.
Of course, it still hurts when you step on the ground.
This time Xingxing was left behind because Tang Liren decided to take Taotao and Lili with her and go with Song Zhi.
Xingxing cried and made a scene, but she still couldn't change her mother's opinion...
She had no choice but to find a place where no one was around and stop Song Zhi. "Brother Song Zhi, can I ask you for a favor?"
"explain."
Bai Xingxing hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Yes, it's like this. Last time we went to the county town, I saw someone looking for pen pals in the newspaper, so I...wrote a letter to that person. At that time, I left Aunt Guihua's address. Brother Song Zhi, this time you go...can you help me ask Aunt Guihua, if she has received my letter, can you bring it back to me!"
Song Zhi stared at Bai Xingxing and asked, "Looking for a date in the newspaper?"
His voice was extremely cold, without a trace of emotion, and his sharp eyes seemed to have exposed Bai Xingxing's lies.
Bai Xingxing lowered her head, feeling so embarrassed that she wanted to cry.
"Okay." Song Zhi answered concisely.
Bai Xingxing said in a mosquito-like voice: "Brother Song Zhi, if... someone really writes to me, please don't let my mother know, she will beat me to death." As she said this, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.
Song Zhi said "hmm" and turned around to find Taotao - Taotao's feet hurt, so he had to carry her on his back.
Bai Xingxing leaned against the door, watching Song Zhi carrying Taotao on his back, while Tang Liren and Bai Lili each carried a backpack and hurried away.
Bai Xingxing bit her lip, feeling very uneasy - if Song Sui really wrote her a letter and she asked Song Zhi to pick it up, would Song Zhi recognize Song Sui's address and handwriting? Oh my god, will there be any changes in the future?
However, Song Zhi and Tang Liren went out early in the morning with the letter of introduction in order to catch the long-distance bus from the neighboring town to the county town. In this way, they don't have to go to the town to change buses and can arrive in the county town three hours earlier - if nothing unexpected happens, they will get on the bus at seven o'clock and arrive at the long-distance bus station in the county town around two o'clock in the afternoon.
However, when the group of four just walked to the educated youth station, they came face to face with Yan Naqian, who was holding a washbasin with a towel in her hand and a mouthwash cup and a toothbrush in the washbasin!
These days, Yan Naqian has been forced to go to work every day by Jiang Hongzhi, and she is in a very depressed mood. As soon as she saw Song Zhi, she took the initiative to ignore Bai Taotao who was carried on his back, but noticed that Song Zhi was wearing leather shoes for going out. Tang Liren and Bai Lili, who were traveling with him, also looked like they were about to go out?
Yan Naqian's eyes lit up, "Brother Song Zhi, what are you doing?"
Bai Lili was not on guard and answered without thinking: "Let's go to the county town..."
Tang Liren glared at her daughter. Bai Lili was frightened and stopped talking.
Yan Naqian was overjoyed, "You guys are going to the county town? Just right... just right, just right, I have something to do in the county town! Brother Song Zhi, wait for me, I'll be there soon..."
Song Zhi asked coldly: "Do you have a letter of introduction?"
Yan Naqian was stunned and her pretty face turned red.
However, she looked at Tang Liren and Bai Lili, and she felt more confident. "I, I can use your letter of introduction!"
——Even if Song Zhi has the ability and can get a letter of introduction, Tang Liren and Bai Lizi and Bai Taozi are unlikely to have it. It is very likely that they are just taking advantage of Song Zhi. If they can take advantage of Song Zhi, why can't she?
But Song Zhi said: "No!"
Having said that, he walked away carrying Taotao on his back. Tang Liren glanced at Yan Naqian and also took Lili away.
Yan Naqian's face turned red as if blood was dripping out.
But she was unwilling to do so - it would be so tiring to stay in the village! After following Song Zhi into the city, even for the sake of Song Xi and Song Sui, could he really ignore her?
Yan Naqian made up her mind, ran back to the Youth League Station, threw the washbasin, and shouted at Jiang Hongzhi, "Hey, I'm on vacation today! I have something to do in the county town!"
Jiang Hongzhi's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he asked, "What do you want?"
"I don't know! Song Zhi asked me to go!" With that, Yan Naqian ran out of the Youth League Station and chased Song Zhi and his group breathlessly.
At this time, Song Zhi, carrying Taotao, had already walked out of the village with Tang Liren and Lili.
It took them twenty minutes to walk to the road.
Yan Naqian caught up with him breathlessly, "Brother Song Zhi! Brother Song Zhi...wait for me!"
Song Zhi had a sour look on his face, he kept walking and ignored everyone.
Yan Naqian finally caught up with him and complained to him, "Brother Song Zhi, why are you like this? You ignore me!" Seeing that Song Zhi ignored her, she felt a little embarrassed and asked again, "Brother Song Zhi, what are you doing in the city?"
Still no one paid any attention to her.
Well, it's quite embarrassing.
Yan Naqian was too embarrassed to admit it, so she asked Bai Lili, "Lili, you guys are going to the county town to buy something, right?"
Bai Lili got into such trouble just after she started talking. Now, no matter how Yan Naqian asked or what she asked, Bai Lili refused to speak.

Yan Naqian was stunned.
——She understood that Bai Taotao meant that Song Zhi would not pay for her taxi fare at all?
The conductor on the bus glared at Yan Naqian and shouted, "Hey! Female comrade, are you getting on the bus or not? If you are getting on the bus, hurry up. If you are not getting on the bus, step back! Don't stand in the way!"
Yan Naqian got on the bus in a rush, pointed at Song Zhi, and said to the conductor, "Comrade, I'm with them! They paid for the bus, too!"
Song Zhi's face was as gloomy as water.
