The family ate around the table. It was surprisingly quiet, but Bai Wenjing felt something was wrong.
Halfway through the meal, he suddenly said, "where's Bai Nian?"
"Bai Nian?"
Xue Xiaohua and Xue Bai both shook their heads and looked at each other.
Xue Xiaohua took the lead in saying, "I just went to tianniu's house to find my mother. I didn't notice."
I have to admit that the little girl is the smartest one. She left herself as soon as she asked.
Xue Baijun said, "I didn't care about it just now."
Xue Baijun's words immediately attracted Xue Xiaohua's eyes. Xue Baijun only put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said, "I'll look for it now. Maybe it's in the house."
"You eat, I'll go out with your father."
Bai Wenjing was calm when she spoke, but God knows how fast her heart beats.
This little thing was abducted by human traffickers earlier, but she still hasn't changed her greedy problem. She's really afraid that someone else will abduct and run away with a piece of sugar.
"Mom, I'll go with you, too."
Xue Xiaohua just wants to take credit so that she can become her mother's favorite child.
"You two are at home and are not allowed to go anywhere."
Bai Wenjing ordered, but still felt uneasy. He took out the electric stick he had exchanged before and said, "Xiaohua, Baijun, you two take it one by one. Do you see this thing? This is a switch. If a bad person enters the house, press this to poke the other party with this stick. As long as you touch it, the other party will faint."
"Wow."
Xue Xiaohua widened her eyes and looked at the dark things her mother gave her. She thought what her mother had was really powerful.
"But remember, if you two use this thing to fight, be careful I'll come back and pick you up. You can't afford it. If you accidentally touch yourself, you'll die."
Xue Xiaohua didn't dare to be complacent any more when she heard her mother say so. At the moment, she looked at the things in her hand as if she saw the poison in her hand.
"Don't worry, mother. I will protect my sister and won't let her come indiscriminately."
Xue Baijun patted his chest and promised. Xue Xiaohua also hurriedly said, "I won't cause trouble. Mom, you and my father go and come back quickly."
The two men answered the door and began to look for Xue Bonian separately.
It's getting dark. Bai Wenjing wanders around the village looking for it. The first one to go is Qiaozhen's house. However, Qiaozhen went to bed early. When she heard that she was looking for Xue Bonian, she was busy putting on clothes and lanterns to help find it.
When Xue Baijun and Xue Xiaohua heard their mother go away, they stared at the things in their hands and asked carefully.
"Brother, do you think this thing is really as powerful as my mother said? I look like our fire stick. Shouldn't my mother lie to us?"
Xue Baijun believed Bai Wenjing's words, glanced at Xue Xiaohua and said, "my mother said it was so powerful. Let's just watch the door. My mother should be worried about traffickers."
"Human traffickers."
Xue Xiaohua covers her mouth. She still clearly remembers that time. The traffickers abducted Chunsheng and Bai Nian. Later, Chunsheng disappeared. The traffickers are tall and big, vicious and frightening.
So when Xue Baijun said this, he was too frightened to speak again.
When the house was quiet, Xue Xiaohua was timid and said close to Xue Baijun: "brother, why don't we go to the Kang first? I'm a little cold."
"Let's finish the meal first."
Xue Xiaohua took a look at the potherb soup and dead noodles cake, shook her head and said, "dad cooks better than mom. I can't eat it."
"You have to eat if you can't eat. It's enough. Besides, haven't you heard what mother and other people in the village say? Others can't even eat."
Speaking of this, Xue Xiaohua was happy and said with a smile: "yes, for example, Bai Nianchu, brother, I always think that little girl is not a good person. She wants to rob her mother from us."
"Where can she take it away? You and I are all meat from my mother. As long as we are obedient, my mother will cherish us."
Xue Baijun said, his cheeks flushed slightly. He thought of his mother's fragrant embrace and his mother's gentle voice, and his heart was warm.
"Brother."
Xue Xiaohua suddenly approached Xue Baijun.
Xue Baijun said, "what's the matter?"
"Did you hear the sound? Snore, snore, is there a monster?"
Xue Baijun was told by Xue Xiaohua that his scalp was numb. When he listened carefully, he really snored.
"That's the sound of big white sleeping."
Hearing this explanation, Xue Xiaohua was relieved again. However, at this time, the curtain of the kitchen door fell, and Xue Xiaohua's heart jumped to her throat and couldn't help screaming.
"Ah --"
However, after only half of the call, Xue Baijun blocked his mouth, and then saw a big mouse running out of the kitchen.
"The big mouse who stole food is here!"
Xue Baijun was not so afraid when he saw that it was a mouse. He took the electric stick on one side, turned on the switch, and walked to the rat step by step. The rat didn't seem very afraid when he saw someone coming. Xue Baijun quickly touched the electric stick on the rat, and a magical thing happened.
The rat suddenly twitched twice and then fell to the ground without moving.
"Dead?"
Xue Xiaohua also saw the scene just now. The two people stared and were very surprised. What her mother gave was too powerful. Just touching the mouse, the mouse died!
At the same time, the door of the room began to ring, and then the brother and sister saw a dagger coming in through the crack of the door, and then lifted the latch bit by bit.
Xue Xiaohua was covered by Xue Baijun in time and couldn't make a sound. The brother and sister stared at the movement at the door, but they didn't know what to do.
In their view, it is really the traffickers who have come to seek their revenge.
Finally, the latch was lifted, the door of the room was kicked open with a bang, and a dark figure appeared in front of them.
"Ah --"
Xue Baijun couldn't help shouting, and then Xue Xiaohua's high decibel voice. Xue Xiaohua opened the switch, rushed up with her eyes closed, and put the electric stick in her hand against the man.
Before the man could speak, he shook and fell to the ground without moving.
"Xiaohua, Xiaohua, did you kill someone?"
Xue Baijun was afraid and stared at Xue Xiaohua. Xue Xiaohua cried out, "brother, will I be put in prison if I kill someone?"
Xue Baijun thought for a moment and said, "it's all right. You won't be locked up. Think about it. Many places in the town have been burned. Maybe the Yamen has been burned down."
Xue Xiaohua thought for a moment and cried, "what if it didn't burn?"
After saying this, he threw the electric stick on the ground angrily. Unfortunately, the electric stick hit the man, and the man who fell to the ground shook again.
"Did you see that? He just moved!"
