Chapter 101 - 90: Scared (Extra - for 30,000 votes from Yunqi)
Manbao and Bai Shanbao were still young after all, and Bai Erlang was also not used to walking such long distances, so Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang took turns carrying the three of them on their backs. In this way, the two elders slowly made their way home, each dragging along three little ones.
From a distance, they saw the smoke from the stoves in their village, and Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang were invigorated. They quickened their pace while carrying Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang, and Manbao, who had been put down not long before, also happily scampered ahead with her little short legs.
But they didn’t know how excited Qili Village was at their appearance.
The Bai Family’s servant, who had been searching on the mountain and keeping watch, was the first to spot them. His eyes were good, and though they were still far away, he still recognized the young master of their family and bellowed down the mountain.
Old Master Bai, who had been comforting his tearful mother, was heartened and dashed over, leaving everyone behind.
Ms. Liu, who had been holding herself together, also stood up immediately and quickly followed Old Master Bai with the help of a maid.
Thus, before Zhou Wulang and the others had reached the entrance to the village, they saw a crowd rushing out from the villagers, with Old Master Bai, his hair somewhat disheveled, running at the forefront and bumping into Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang. He glanced at the two children on their backs, then turned to look at Manbao, who was walking between her two brothers on her little short legs. His anger, which had been building up inside him, somehow couldn’t be unleashed on the two teenagers, and he glared at Bai Erlang, who was so comfortable that he was about to fall asleep.
Zhou Wulang couldn’t help but secretly pinch Bai Erlang, who immediately woke up and cried out, "It’s time for Shanbao to get down!"
As soon as Bai Erlang opened his eyes, he met his father’s gaze, got startled, and immediately started to deflect blame, "It wasn’t on purpose that I led us the wrong way, Dad. Shanbao and Manbao don’t blame me."
Old Master Bai didn’t know what he was talking about, but from his words alone, it was clear his son was the main culprit, and so he let out an "ahh ahh—" and roared, rolling up his sleeves to discipline him.
At that moment, Old Master Bai looked so ferocious that Zhou Wulang got scared and turned to run—obviously still carrying Bai Erlang.
