After Sister Bai came back, everyone hugged her and cried for a while, but Manniang noticed that she was dirty, so she hurriedly fetched water and asked her to wash and change into clean clothes.

Mrs. Cao was like a frightened bird, not letting go of the aunt's hand for a moment, and talking in a nonsensical manner, asking this and that, and then bluffing: "Haven't you eaten yet? Man Niang, Hurry up, hurry up and make some food."

After a while, Man Niang came out with a small plate, "I boiled rice porridge on the pot, I'm afraid it will be ready in a while, Madam, eat some snacks to pad your stomach."

Auntie Bai hadn't eaten any granules for nearly a day. Looking at the jujube balls in the plate, she couldn't help salivating. She immediately grabbed one and stuffed it into her mouth. Seeing this, Manniang quickly poured her water again.

Although the dumpling was only the size of a child's fist, Mrs. Bai ate four of them in one go. Seeing her daughter gobbling it up like this, Mrs. Cao knew that she had suffered, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

Not a while after the aunt finished eating, Bai Xin and the others came back. The aunt looked at the other party with tears in her eyes, standing far away, and choked up.

Cao's heart tightened, and she was afraid that her daughter would blame Saburo for this, so she took her hand and said, "Your third brother is looking for you like crazy, you...don't blame him."

Aunt Bai looked back at her mother, cried and laughed at the same time, said "I know" in a low voice, and then shouted at Bai Xin and the others: "Big Brother, Third Brother!"

Da Lang rushed forward with a stride, stretched out his big hand like a cattail leaf fan and patted the top of the aunt's head, choked up and said, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

Bai Xin approached, looked at the intact elder sister, only cared about thanking the gods in his heart, but couldn't say a word.

Standing at the door, Cheng Wenren looked at the Bai family, especially at Bai Xin's red eye sockets and nose, his brows and eyes were instantly tinged with tenderness, as if he felt empathy, and he heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Cheng Wenren was still there, Mother Xia refused to leave, as if she still wanted to show how close she was to the Bai family, she stepped forward and cried, and said how she couldn't eat, how she couldn't sleep all night, saying As he spoke, he took the initiative to bring the topic up to Cheng Wenren, saying that he had followed up and searched for it with great effort, and kept saying good things.

Only then did Mrs. Cao and Mrs. Bai notice Cheng Wenren, and the former hurriedly dragged his daughter over to pay a deep obeisance, expressing his thanks.

Cheng Wenren waved his hands again and again, "I can't help much, Aunt Bai is blessed, she came back safely, thanks to her cleverness."

The aunt was praised, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Cheng Wenren continued: "Madam Bai was quite frightened this time, she should go to rest quickly, and I won't bother you."

Bai Xin chased him a few steps and called him to stop, "Thank you this time, I always trouble you..."

"I didn't do much, so go and accompany your eldest sister."

Bai Xin nodded, watched him leave, and then turned back. Bai Xin looked at the elder sister secretly, seeing that she looked tired, but there was nothing wrong with her, so she guessed that she might have been taken in for a night, or she was hiding somewhere, but nothing happened. What's wrong, although I can't wait to ask what happened yesterday, but I swallowed the words back and comforted: "Eldest sister is also tired, let's go back to the room and have a good rest."

The aunt's eyelids could no longer hold up, if she hadn't seen Saburo just now and hadn't come back, she would have fallen asleep while eating.

Mrs. Cao sent her daughter back to the house, covered her with the quilt, and sat by the side to watch. Aunt Bai smelled the familiar smell, and the most reassuring touch in the world came from her hand. She almost fell asleep after touching the pillow.

Knowing that the two of them left early in the morning, Manniang hardly ate anything, so she hurriedly brought out the meal she had just made, and greeted cheerfully: "This is the meal I just cooked for my aunt. She hasn't eaten much, so hurry up and eat some."

Bai Xin asked: "Did you not eat much after you came back?"

Man Niang smiled and shook her head, "I ate it, and I ate a lot. I made porridge and cooked dishes. I was afraid that my mother would not be able to wait, so I brought jujube dumplings. She ate four of them in one go. I can't eat enough, I only drank half a bowl of gruel."

Seeing that the elder sister ate so much at one go, Bai Xin knew that she must have suffered a lot yesterday, and felt uncomfortable.

After Bai Xin finished his meal, he was about to go out in a hurry, but Da Lang called him, "Third brother, if you don't rest at home, where are you going?"

"I went to the street to buy some delicious food for my eldest sister. This time, she was frightened. I finally came back. It's time to celebrate." Bai Xin still blamed himself very much. He couldn't think of any good way to make up for his eldest sister. I had to pick up the nearest one, thinking about going to the street to buy something my elder sister likes to eat.

Bai Xin went to the market to butcher a chicken, bought a fish, bought some succulents such as kelp and longan, and some sweets, and took them back in large and small bags.

Aunt Bai fell asleep and slept until the next morning. When she woke up, she was still a little embarrassed that she could sleep like this.

There was a strong aroma coming from the kitchen, the aunt sniffed it, and looked over, Mrs. Cao tried her best to eliminate the gap between the siblings, and said: "After you fell asleep yesterday, Sanlang went to the street and bought a lot. When the chicken, duck and fish came back, I also bought honey crisps, lotus root sugar cakes, and pine nut cakes, all of which you like to eat."

The aunt was a little flattered and smiled shyly.

At noon, the Bai family ate an extremely sumptuous meal, which almost surpassed the New Year's Eve dinner, and everyone's belly was full.

After eating and resting, Bai Xin could finally ask his elder sister how she got lost on the Buddha Bathing Festival and where she hid for the night.

The aunt was still afraid for a while when she remembered what happened that day, and her face turned pale instantly.

Mrs. Cao was even more nervous than her, and her heart was raised in her throat, afraid of hearing something bad from her daughter.

"There were so many people that day, I didn't catch Mrs. Xia, the two of them let go, and then I grabbed it again. I didn't want to catch the wrong person, and I was taken away."

Cao's face twisted, and she interrupted in a sharp voice, "Where have you been taken? Who is it? You know you've been grabbed by someone, so why don't you just shake it off?"

She asked a lot of questions in one breath, the aunt knew her mother's concerns, her face was hot, and she hurriedly explained, "Mother, I grabbed the hand of a little lady, and I only admitted my mistake because she was wearing the same color clothes as Miss Xia." They were not taken very far, they were still in the Great Buddha Temple, but it was a chaotic day with huge crowds of people, so they couldn't find Xia's house anymore."

When Cao Shi heard that she had grabbed the hand of a young lady and was not taken away, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what?"

"Then I didn't know where I was taken. Although I was still in the Great Buddha Temple, the temple was huge. I waited there for a while, but I didn't see anyone, so I tried to look for it, but I still couldn't find it. Later, I saw the sky. It's getting late, so I have to think about walking home by myself."

Cao's face turned blue, and she shouted: "You are so courageous, why don't you say go to the temple for help?"

This is exactly what Bai Xin finds strange. If ordinary people get lost, wouldn't it be better to ask a temple?

The aunt's eyes shrank a little, "The temples are also full of men, I'm afraid."

Bai Xin asked again: "You also have money on you, and you know the family, why don't you ask a car to take you home, there must be many cars waiting for people that day."

"I'm on my own, and I'm afraid they'll drag me to sell it elsewhere." After speaking, the aunt also realized that staying alone in the wilderness is several times more dangerous than calling a car, but she was completely frightened at the time. , Seeing a strange man instinctively avoid.

Bai Xin sighed silently, "What's next? The Great Buddha Temple is not close to our house. If you can walk back in a day, it's your speed."

"I saw that the sky was getting darker and darker, and it was impossible to walk back to the Great Buddha Temple. Fortunately, I remembered that there was a ruined temple on the way when I came here, so I thought about hiding there for the night and heading home at dawn."

Bai Xin asked in disbelief, "Did you really stay in the ruined temple for one night?"

The aunt nodded, "I was so scared that I couldn't sleep all night, especially..."

Her words stopped abruptly, a suspicious blush appeared on her face, Bai Xin's eyes were sharp, and her voice was so nervous that her voice changed, "What's wrong with You Qi?"

The aunt hesitated for a moment, and looked in the direction of her eldest brother and sister-in-law without any trace, she was afraid that she would be ridiculed if she said it.

Man Niang seemed to have noticed something, she felt a little dull in her heart, and wanted to leave with an excuse.

Cao was so impatient, her chest heaved with excitement, she didn't notice her daughter's little movements, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

The aunt blushed, and said, "Especially a beggar came to the ruined temple later."

There was a thud in everyone's heart, their faces were all white, and Mrs. Cao whined and was about to cry again. The aunt hurriedly said: "But he didn't do anything, and he left on purpose and spent the night outside."

The sudden turn of events made everyone a little dumbfounded, and Bai Xin asked in disbelief, "You said that a beggar not only didn't enter the temple, but also quit?"

The aunt nodded again and again, grateful, "I was scared to death at that time, I didn't expect that person to go out without saying a word, but he didn't go far, but stayed at the gate of the temple, and didn't say anything to me in the morning. Let’s just leave.” The aunt couldn’t help but secretly wondered in her heart, was that man guarding the door to protect her safety?Thinking of this possibility, the aunt felt happy for a while.

Bai Xin was amazed, but he was used to some tricks in the court of Fengyue, so he couldn't help but think about the conspiracy. For example, in his previous life, in order to get a girl's true love, he first created an accident in the girl's house and forced her family to go to hell. In a desperate situation, if there is another timely help at the end, won't you just hug the beauty back home?But then again, if the eldest sister is wearing silk and satin, the beggar may be more careful, one is not daring to touch it, and the other is to wait for the other party to repay in the future, but the eldest sister wears plain clothes, she looks like a poor girl, What other calculations can the beggar have?

He couldn't help sighing: "There is such Liu Xiahui in the world? I really want to thank him very much. How can this person be reduced to a beggar because of his noble character?"

The reason why the aunt said it was because she hoped that Saburo would help her to repay her. Hearing what he said, she nodded repeatedly.

Bai Xin nodded reassuringly at her elder sister. She already felt that she owed her elder sister, so how could she not try her best to fulfill her wish now?

"Eldest sister, don't worry, I will find that person, repay him well, or send some money, if he is willing, even let him sell goods to our family, at first he will not charge him money, at least he can Let him eat and drink."

The aunt was very happy when she heard this, and she immediately looked up.

"Do you still remember the characteristics of that man?"

Without even thinking about it, the aunt said, "Although he is wearing tattered clothes, his eyes are not like those of a beggar, they are open and piercing."

Bai Xin looked thoughtfully at what the elder sister said with joy.

The author has something to say: Xiao Gong came out to make soy sauce, and then left again. Let us mourn for his soy sauce physique ╮(╯▽╰)╭I think that beggar’s way is more warm than the hero saving the beauty.

And thinking about how the eldest sister got lost at the time, she was going out for the first time, and she was not very old, so she was inevitably flustered.
