"They say good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles. Just look, it doesn't take much effort for the news that Xing'er ran away to spread throughout the whole village. It's so confusing. Even if they are found later, they will be lost for a few days.
My daughter, whatever she did when she went out, Tumo Xingzi could drown her."
Listening to Mrs. Zhang's complaint, Baiyun Xiyou sat up straight, and her heart suddenly sank. That girl wouldn't go to Xiao Wu, would she?
In order to stop Xing'er's mother and daughter's plan, they tried every means to separate people.
I thought that the matter was over and everyone would go their separate ways from now on, but now this thing comes up again. Is this nonsense?
Bai Yunxi felt heavy in her heart. If that girl went to the college to find Xiao Wu and was met by Dean Zhang, she would definitely have doubts about Xiao Wu's character.
To make a little girl risk her life to find her, only a ghost would believe that there is no involvement between the two.
Mrs. Zhang looked at Bai Yunxi's serious expression and sighed as she thought of Xing'er's thoughts.
"Have you thought about it too? The head of the family asked me to come here because he wanted you to go to the county quickly and see if anyone is looking for Xiao Wu. If you meet him, bring him back. If not, forget it."
Baiyun Xi quickly calmed down after getting excited.
It's been two days. If I had gone to look for Xiao Wu, the two of them might have met long ago, so there's no point in being anxious.
"Okay, I'll go to the county early tomorrow morning to see if anyone is there."
It was only two days after my daughter ran away from home that she discovered that in the end it was Chen Jiao who had harmed her daughter by having too many delusional thoughts that harmed others and herself.
Mrs. Zhang took a sip of tea to soothe her throat.
"My head hurts from being cried by Chen Jiao... I thought it had nothing to do with my cousin marrying a wife, but now I see it is a disaster. If anything happens to Xing'er, all the girls in the Bai family will be affected."
If she had known that Bai Yuntang was so worried about marrying Chen Jiao, she would definitely have intervened to stop people from entering, thus saving her today's trouble.
Listening to Zhang's voice, Baiyunxi also felt the same way.
She should have intervened when she inadvertently caused a big collision between the two of them in the wild. If the mother and daughter did not come to Willow Bay, they would indeed not have such troubles. But at that time, she acted as if the matter had nothing to do with her, and did not
Pay attention.
Sure enough, sometimes this kind of high-spirited mentality is not worth it. Take action when it's time to take action.
In just half a day, everyone in the village knew that Xing'er had run away.
As for the reason, there are different opinions. Some people say that Xing'er had a lover at her grandmother's house, but Chen Jiao eloped with her because she didn't agree.
Some people also say that Xing'er has a bright future and is unwilling to marry a farmer and is looking for her own future.
Some people said that Mrs. Bai was not good to this foreign granddaughter and scolded her away.
In short, everything was said, but no one connected Xing'er and Xiao Wu, which was enough to make Bai Yunxi happy.
Mrs. Zhang brought the words to her, sat there for a while and then went back. Bai Yunxi squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, then directly summoned her family members and told everyone about Xing'er's running away from home.
"Your cousin suspects that she went to see Xiao Wu, and I also have the same suspicion. So tomorrow morning, Wenyou and I will go to the county again. You guys stay at home and don't say anything more about Xing'er.
Save yourself trouble at home."
Listening to my mother's explanation, everyone was shocked and had no choice but to nod.
"Well, ever since we broke up with Second Grandma's family, our two families have been at odds with each other. Something always happens."
"Isn't that right? We have tried our best to keep our distance, but we still have a relationship, and we don't even know what to say?"
Listening to the dissatisfied tone of the children, Baiyunxi waved his hand,
"Stop complaining now. Everything has a cause and effect. It has been involved from the beginning... I still don't believe it. People always lead the way."
If you dare to ride on her neck and shit, no matter young or old, she won't be polite.
Everyone was originally very excited about buying a horse, but now it was all extinguished by Xing'er's sudden disappearance.
The whole family had dinner early and went to bed separately.
Early the next morning, Baiyunxi asked Wenyou to hitch a carriage, and the two set off after breakfast.
If nothing else, the horse-drawn carriage is more than twice as fast as the ox-cart.
Wenyou drove the carriage and ran all the way, and it took an hour to reach the county gate.
Baiyunxi opened the curtain and watched Xuelihong step into the city gate. She couldn't help but chuckle, "Our Xuelihong is definitely a thousand-mile horse."
"Aunt Bai is right, it is the best horse I have ever seen."
Wenyou held the reins and didn't shake it once along the way. She only had to say hello and the horse could understand the instructions. Just because of its intelligence, it made it a famous horse with a pure bloodline.
Driving all the way to Qingyu College, we pulled over and parked at the gate square.
Wenyou helped Baiyunxi get out of the carriage and walked directly to the corner gate next to her. She first looked for Uncle Chang, the gatekeeper she met last time.
I heard that that man was not a simple man. He was once a down-and-out scholar. I don't know what kind of stimulation he received. He would rather stay at Qingyu Academy as a janitor than continue the scientific examination.
It concerns other people's privacy, and Bai Yunxi doesn't bother to inquire about it.
At this time, Uncle Chang was sunbathing in his chair with his eyes squinted. When he felt someone approaching, he opened his eyes a little.
"Uncle Chang, I'm sorry to bother you to bask in the sun. I want to find Bai Ansheng."
"You are Bai Xiucai's mother, I remember you."
Uncle Chang sat up straight, raised his head and glanced at the sky,
"The students are in class at the moment. Just wait a moment. Classes will be dismissed in a quarter of an hour. I will go in and send you a message later and ask Bai Xiucai to come out to see you."
After saying that, he turned around and went into the house and brought two chairs over.
"Sit down and rest your feet first."
"Thank you very much."
Baiyun Xi was not polite and sat down directly next to him. The courtyard entrance was a little far away from the school, and there was a bamboo forest and rockery in the middle. Except for the occasional sound of reading, it was very quiet.
"Uncle Chang has been guarding the door. Has anyone come looking for An Sheng's child in the past few days?"
Listening to Bai Yunxi's inquiry, Uncle Chang glanced at her and shook his head.
"No."
Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart, Xing'er ran away from home, where else could she go other than to seek refuge with Xiao Wu?
As far as she knew, Xing'er grew up in the countryside. Apart from her grandma's family, it was the Bai family, and the farthest distance was the town.
If she hadn't found Xiao Wu, she couldn't imagine where else that girl could have gone?
Uncle Chang stood up and said with his hands behind his back, "White lady, wait a moment, I'm going to deliver a letter."
"Good work."
Bai Yunxi stood up, watched Uncle Chang go away, and then turned to look at Wenyou, "Uncle Chang has been guarding the door. If he doesn't see anyone, Xing'er probably never came."
"I heard that she has never traveled far, maybe she got lost."
Baiyunxi was stunned, lost?
Will it?
"Or am I going the wrong way?"
Wenyou shrugged her shoulders. A little girl who had never traveled far away, no matter how smart she was, she lacked experience.
