Xia Tian saw that Muchen and the others had gone out to look for someone and had not returned, and he began to feel anxious.
I’m afraid they’ll encounter some accidents!
She had already had a nap, and dinner at Guangfu Temple was about to start, but no one came back yet.
Just when I was getting anxious, Bai Wan and Mrs. Bai came over.
"Why are you here?" Xia Tian thought they couldn't wait any longer, so he came to ask about the situation.
"Mrs. Shen, after I returned earlier, I quickly went to find everyone from my family who had gone out to look for Wan'er."
After paying her respects, Madam Bai Er smiled and replied, "After all, this is a family matter, and I can't just sit there and wait for Madam's help, so I asked them to go out and look for it.
It's getting dark, and I'm afraid my wife will be anxious waiting, so I came over to tell you."
"Mrs. Bai, you are too polite. Please sit down first!" Xia Tian also smiled and offered to sit down.
"So you will be staying in Guangfu Temple tonight?" asked Nanny Zhang.
"Well, there's nothing we can do! Ah Tao hasn't been found yet, and Wan'er doesn't want to go back, so we can only stay overnight at Guangfu Temple tonight." Madam Bai said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have delayed your trip!"
She came over to ask just to say sorry to Xia Tian and the others. After all, if she hadn't come to help them find A Tao, they would have gone back long ago.
"It's okay. Since I promised Miss Bai to help her find someone, I must not go back on my word." Xia Tian's impression of Mrs. Bai II improved a little.
Since the Bai family has also sent people out to look for them, Muchen and the others should be back soon.
"Thank you, ma'am." Mrs. Bai stood up again and bowed to Xia Tian. This time, her temperament was much calmer.
Bai Wan also stepped forward and saluted her, "Thank you ma'am for saving me, and thank you ma'am for helping me find Ah Tao.
As for the clothes that Madam lent me, I will return them to Madam after I wash them at home."
"It's okay, no rush." Xia Tian saw that Bai Wan had returned and changed into her own clothes, and Mrs. Bai was really kind to her, so there was no need to worry about ruining her reputation.
Then she did a good thing by coming out this time.
Just think of it as doing good deeds for the baby in your belly!
Xia Tian and Mrs. Bai chatted intermittently, and finally saw Muchen come back before dark.
"How is it? Did you find it?" Xia Tian saw that Muchen looked unhappy and asked worriedly.
"Found it." Mu Chen replied in a deep voice, "The person has been taken away by the Bai family."
When Madam Bai Er and Bai Wan heard that Ah Tao had been found and taken away by her family, they quickly stood up and said, "Madam, we will go back first. We will come back later to thank you for your help."
Xia Tian did not try to persuade him to stay. "Okay, you guys go back first. Come to me if you need any help."
"Thank you, ma'am." Mrs. Bai bowed and hurried away with Bai Wan.
Xia Tian asked Muchen and the others to rest and drink some water first, and then asked carefully, "We found Ah Tao, is she still alive?"
Seeing that Mu Chen looked unhappy just now, and Madam Bai and Bai Wan were here, she didn't feel comfortable asking directly.
"Dead." Mu Chen shook his head. He didn't dare to say too much details. When they found Miss Tao, she was already dead, and her head hit the stone directly. It was a horrible sight.
He was afraid that if he explained it in too much detail, it would make Xia Tian and the others uncomfortable.
So after finding the person, I met people from the Bai family who also came looking for him, so I just let them take him back.
Xia Tian was silent for a while. Although he felt a little sorry, they were not his family after all, so he did not continue to ask.
It was already dark, so Mu Feng simply took people to the dining hall of Guangfu Temple to bring back the vegetarian food and eat it directly in the yard.
Muchen and the others had been out looking for someone for a long time and were very tired. Xia Tian asked them to eat and then go to rest.
Over there, Mrs. Bai Er and Bai Wan hurried back to their own courtyard.
As soon as she entered the door, Bai Wan saw a person lying on a stretcher in the yard, covered with a white sheet, and her feet went soft.
Madam Bai Er quickly supported her and frowned, saying, "Look at you, you're so stupid! The person hasn't even been confirmed yet, and you're already scared to death."
Bai Wan's legs were so weak at this moment that she clutched Madam Bai's arm tightly. Without saying a word, tears started to flow.
Mrs. Bai's maid saw them coming back and hurried over to help, "Madam, Third Miss, Ah Tao..."
Before the maid could finish her words, Bai Wan suddenly broke free from the two people who were holding her arms and stumbled towards the stretcher in the yard.
When he got there, his lips trembled and his hands shook as he didn't dare to lift the white sheet for a long time.
Mrs. Bai Er came over and looked at Bai Wan's miserable appearance. Although she was a little displeased, she did not scold her in the end.
A Tao died, and the saddest person was Bai Wan.
Although she was just a maid, she knew that it was better not to make Bai Wan more sad at this moment.
"A Tao!" Bai Wan finally lifted the white sheet, and when she saw A Tao's appearance, she burst into tears instantly.
When she couldn't find A Tao, she still had a glimmer of hope, thinking that she might be hanging on a tree or just fainted. Once she found her, she would definitely be able to rescue her.
But now, A Tao was really found, but she was already dead.
She's dead!
Bai Wan cried heartbrokenly. Although Mrs. Bai Er felt bad too, she couldn't ignore it. "Wan, stop crying. Ah Tao is dead. Let her go peacefully. Don't disturb her anymore."
Mrs. Bai Er pulled Bai Wan away and tried to comfort her, "Don't cry, let's bury A Tao first. Tomorrow, I'll ask the monks at Guangfu Temple to chant sutras for A Tao to be liberated. Is that okay?"
"Mother, A Tao is gone. A Tao died to save me." Bai Wan leaned in Mrs. Bai's arms and cried miserably.
Mrs. Bai Er patiently coaxed her, "Mother knows, mother knows everything, dear, don't cry, your eyes are swollen."
Mrs. Bai Er had Bai Wan helped into the house and arranged for people to prepare for A Tao's funeral.
After Xia Tian and the others finished their meal, they knew that Mrs. Bai would definitely not have time to come, so they went to bed early.
The next day, we had breakfast at Guangfu Temple before packing up and preparing to return to Sangluo City.
"Ningxiang, go say hello to Second Madam Bai and Miss Bai, and tell them we're leaving first."
After all, we met once, it wouldn't be nice to just leave.
Ningxiang quickly went to the Bai family to say something and then hurried back.
Mrs. Bai Er and Bai Wan cannot go back now.
They wanted to hold a ritual for A Tao at Guangfu Temple and have the monks there chant sutras to help her pass away.
When Mrs. Bai Er heard that Xia Tian and the others were leaving, she apologized profusely, "I was just saying I wanted to thank you, Madam, but I didn't expect something like this to happen. I can only wait until we get back, and then we'll go visit and thank you."
"It's nothing, Madam Bai, you're too polite." Ningxiang also said politely. Since she had been greeted anyway, she hurried back to pack up and prepare to go down the mountain first.
