The Lucky Farmgirl

Bai Shan frowned and said, "We had just been at the Qi Family’s place, so it wouldn’t have been appropriate to ask about the exact location of their other courtyard. We only know it’s about twenty miles outside the west city gate. To confirm it, we’ll need Erji to take a look for himself."

Manbao said, "Erji can’t leave the house now, can he?"

Bai Shan: "We’ll go find a map and bring it back for him to look at."

Manbao then turned her head to look at him.

Bai Shan coughed lightly, clutching his stomach with a pained expression, "I feel like my stomach hurts a bit, and I’m not very comfortable. You prescribe some medicine for me; I’m going to rest at home for a couple of days."

Manbao peeked outside carefully and lowered her voice, "Be careful, or the teacher will settle the score with you."

Bai Shan winked at her and whispered, "If you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, who’s to know?"

Just then, Bai Erlang, who had come to look for them, poked his head through the window and said in a ghostly tone, "...I know now."

Manbao and Bai Shan, who were conspiring together, jumped in fright, turning their panicked faces to the window. Only when they saw Bai Erlang did they breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, both of them couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger well up inside.

Bai Shan rolled up his sleeves, jumped onto a chair, and reached out to grab him through the window. Bai Erlang agilely jumped back and pointed at him, yelling, "If you dare bully me, I’ll tell the teacher!"
