Chapter 81 An Unhappy Daydream

"What are you talking about? What are you afraid of? Did you see a man-eating monster while I was away?"

Er Fatty had just walked over with the bucket, and happened to hear their conversation, and couldn't help joking.

"Are you here? Have you seen any strange people on the road?" Bai Jinli saw him and asked.

"No, what's the matter?" Er Fatty saw that the expressions of the two were not quite right, and couldn't help but ask.

"In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to go up the mountain often. There are bad people in the mountain."

"What's going on? Should we hurry back now?" Er Fatty also changed his face when he heard the words.

"Don't be so nervous, the buckets are brought up, let's get down to business first."

After finishing speaking, Bai Jinli glanced at the bucket in Erpang's hand and exclaimed.

"Ah, why are you still holding water in the bucket, isn't it sinking?"

"I thought that the fish and shrimp I caught could not be thrown directly into the bucket, so I added water. Is there any problem?"

"Brother Er Fatty, you are stupid. This is the river. If you want water, you can just scoop it up here. You even climbed up the mountain with water, aren't you tired?" Bai Mo said crisply.

"Uh, I... I forgot." Er Fatty wiped the sweat from his brow in embarrassment.

What's going on with him, is his brain flooded?

Such a simple truth has not been figured out, I really want to beat myself to death.

So much effort wasted in vain.

"Forget it, you can rest on the side first, Bai Mo, you put all the snails in."

"Alright young lady."

With this interruption, Bai Mo was not as scared as before.

After touching a lot of snails, Er Pang also caught five fat fish, and the three of them squatted there to catch lobsters.

The three of them were busy for almost an hour, and when the bucket was almost full, they stopped what they were doing and prepared to go down the mountain.

It was only after walking down the mountain that Bai Jinli told Er Fatty what happened on the mountain just now.

"Boss, why did you tell me such a dangerous thing? We should have rushed down the mountain to tell the village chief!" After hearing this, Er Fatty felt a chill run up his spine.

Could it be that the boss, Bai Mo and the others just encountered bandits?

He accidentally heard someone say that there are bandits in and out of this area, but he doesn't know whether it is true or not.

Because their village is backed by a mountain, they would go into the mountain if they had nothing to do since they were young. As long as they didn't go too deep, they basically didn't encounter danger or bad guys, so they didn't take it seriously at all.

Moreover, bandits are too far away from them. They are just ordinary people. Where have they seen such fierce bandits?

But today, the boss actually told him in person that she and Bai Mo had seen the bandits and heard them talking while he was going down the mountain.

This... suddenly felt a little dangerous.

"It's okay, I heard them say that they went back to the bandit's lair, and they were completely relieved after ensuring their safety. At worst, they would not go to the mountains in the future." Bai Jinli didn't care too much.

"Boss, you are a girl, you must be careful if you encounter such a thing in the future." Unexpectedly, Er Fatty taught her a serious face.

"What's the matter, I'm the boss and you are the boss? En?"

"No, I'm just a little worried. I've said that bandits are murderous. What if something happens..." Er Fatty shook his head, thinking about Bai Jinli's boldness.

Ordinary people will be scared to death when they encounter bandits, okay?
How could she still calmly stay in the mountains and catch fish and crayfish? ?
What kind of guts is this!

"Okay, I see, I will pay attention to it in the future. Bai Mo, you and Erpang go back first, and I will go to the village chief."

After speaking, Bai Jinli walked towards the village chief's house in the direction he remembered.

After knocking on the door, the person who opened the door was the village head's daughter-in-law, Xiao Fang. She was very surprised to see Bai Jinli.

"What are you here for?"

"Hello, I want to find the village chief, and I have something very important to tell him."

Xiao Fang heard Ji Ping tell her about Bai Jinli's changes more than once, and now she can be regarded as seeing her in person, and she has really changed a lot.

Not to mention the changes in body shape, just the face and eyes are completely different from before.

In the past, her eyes were high above the top, her eyes were full of arrogance, and she looked like a selfish woman who liked to make troubles.

Now, her eyes are clear and bright, her face is soft, and she even speaks politely.

Man, why did it suddenly change?Has it changed so much?

"Come in, sit here for a while, I'll call him over." Xiao Fang sat her outside and went in to call someone.

Not long after, Ji Ping came out wearing a dress.

"Bai Jinli, are you looking for me? What's the matter?"

Ever since Bai Jinli slapped Uncle Wang in the face in public last time, Uncle Wang didn't go out very often, and he didn't come to give him advice when he had nothing to do.

This made Ji Ping, who had been under the control of Uncle Wang before, feel his whole body was smooth, and he could walk vigorously.

"Village Chief, have there been bandits running around recently? Have you heard that children have been lost somewhere?"

"Bandits? Lost children? No, I haven't heard of this?" Ji Ping was full of doubts, wondering why Bai Jinli suddenly asked him this question.

"Village chief, I encountered bandits when I went into the mountain today, and I vaguely heard them saying something like stealing children and locking them up. The mountains will not be peaceful recently. Can you tell the people in the village to keep an eye on the children and let them Don't run around, don't go into the mountains."

"Did you meet a bandit? Then you're okay?" Ji Ping immediately widened his eyes.

"No, I hid on the tree. Village chief, those bandits look very fierce. If they encounter them, they will definitely not be able to please them."

"Okay, I understand what you said, do you have any questions?" Ji Ping yawned.

"No, since the village chief already knows, I'll go back first." Bai Jinli looked at his posture, turned and left.

It seems that Ji Ping did not believe what she said.

However, she and Bai Mo were indeed witnesses, and Ji Ping would not believe Bai Mo as a child.

As for Er Fatty, he just listened to what they said and didn't see it at all.

If the village chief really paid attention to this matter, he would definitely ask her what the bandit looked like, where she saw it, where the bandit went in the end, and so on.

But he didn't ask any of these questions.

"Village Chief, let me remind you one last thing. What I said is true. It's best to take precautions. Otherwise, if something happens, it will be a big trouble." Before leaving the door, Bai Jinli warned in a cold voice. .

Seeing Bai Jinli leave, Ji Ping stood up and stretched, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"This Bai Jinli is real. What kind of new trick did she come up with to tease people? I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen a bandit, but why did she see it?"

"Not long ago, you gave Uncle Wang shame in front of so many people, and now you still want to punish me?"

"I don't think what she said is fake. Why don't you go and find out, if there are really bandits, it will be troublesome." Xiao Fang suggested with a little worry.

"Okay, I get it, don't worry about it, have you washed my clothes? Just the dark blue one?" Ji Ping waved his hands nonchalantly to bypass the topic.

After coming out of the village chief's house, Bai Jinli went to the academy worriedly and told Master Yang about the matter.

Mr. Yang attached great importance to it, saying that he would talk to the village chief and tell the children in the village by the way.

With Master Yang's words, Bai Jinli finally felt relieved.

When he got home, Er Pang had already brought over two baskets of herbs and the bucket of aquatic products.

He only kept one fish for his family, and put all the others in Bai Jinli's house.

"Sister-in-law, are you back? Did you tell the village chief about that?" Bai Mo ran over to her and asked her.

"I've said it. Bai Mo, you didn't tell your grandma and the others about this, did you?"

"No no."

"That's good. That's enough, come over and help with the snails and crayfish, and I'll show you off later!" Bai Jinli nodded in satisfaction.

If Mrs. Li knew about this, she might be worried about her.

And according to Mrs. Li's temperament, she must pay more attention to it, and ignore what other people do?

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Li is still a bit selfish, she wants to hide good things, if there is such a thing, she can't wait to stay at a respectful distance, otherwise she wouldn't have abused other people for so many years.

But it's really good to her, the kind that doesn't even have a bottom line.

So she thinks it's better to keep this kind of thing a secret.

"Sister-in-law, how do you do it?"

"You separate the snails first, then add salt to the water, and put them aside to let them spit out mud and defecate. This will take a whole night to soak, and tomorrow you will find a pair of scissors to cut off the tail."

"Okay." Bai Mo shouted to the backyard after nodding.

"Sister, where are you? Come out and help!"

Soon, Bai Meng came out from the backyard, looked at Bai Mo and asked him.

"Mo'er, what's the matter?"

"Sister, sister-in-law said that she will prepare delicious food for us in the afternoon, let me handle the snails, please help me."

"En, good." Bai Meng glanced at Bai Jinli in the distance, and hesitated to speak.

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why don't you look very happy, did grandma scold you again?" Seeing that Bai Meng's expression was not right, Bai Mo asked her in a low voice.

"No, grandma isn't at home, she didn't scold me."

"Then what's wrong with you? Did Sister Jasmine quarrel with you?" Although Bai Mo was young, he was very clever.

"I... I don't know how to say it, I'm just very angry." Bai Meng said in a low voice.

"What's going on? Why are you so angry?" Bai Jinli's ears were open, and she heard everything the two whispered.

"Little sister, it's nothing, it's just that I was a little angry when I heard Jasmine say some unpleasant things."

"Her? It's nothing more than saying that I give you less money. I envy me for having private money. I'm just jealous. Don't worry about it." Bai Jinli smiled indifferently.

Bai Jasmine is that kind of person, she has already seen it clearly.

As long as she doesn't provoke her too much, she won't care too much about it for Bai Baiqi's sake.

"Sister-in-law, how do you know all about it?" Bai Meng was completely shocked.
